CoNoiiiow.wAN Mash, of I’oinisylvania, Ims been defeated for a renomination. This is the season for sour mash. A Geouuia lady is writing a book en titled, “Her Age.” There will be no sequel to it. Cincinnati lias discharged two police men because they could neither read nor write. These men need not despair. They can still make a living as jurymen. The dispatches state tlint, President Cleveland lias gone on a pleasure trip accompanied by 11in mother-in-law. Isn’t tlmt a contradiction of terms? Turkic Arkansaw men were drowned in the Mississippi the other day. it was tlie first water tlmt ever got down their throats, and it killed them before they could tell whether they liked it or not.

It requires an audae- Itv horn only of genius divine, to curry and bridle and lead out some of the items they label “news” and turn loose to run the gauntlet of the public eye. The Waukulla Times, published in Crawfordville, Waukulla county, Florida, in its issue of August 1.'! says: Mr. Sampson Rorldonbcrry, of the Ockolocko- nec country, paid us h pleasant visit on Thursday last. Remember the latch hiring hangs on the outside* of our door, rnc1e Sampson. Now on Thursday Inst the (housunds of readers of ll sued their several avocations, each man' mind intuit on Ids work or Ids business; and we will venture the assertion that An aged couple, Mr. and Mrs. JTnvlor, of Tennessee, are now contemplating a spectacle which no two parents ever saw before—that of their two sons, Robert and Alfred, running as rival nominees for the governorship of the great state in whieli they live. The republican nominee, Alfred Taylor? on being asked the other day by a reporter if ho favored a joint canvass, replied : “Ordinarily 1 think the questions of the day should he discussed in joint debates. in a state contest, but I don’t know how \\ aukulla 1 imes per- a fratornul gladiator contest would ap pear.

Alfis correct, hut that is generally the way with dead bodies; the longer you keep ’em the stronger they smell. 8am. Jones comes to the surface with the following: “You can't stand around in heaven and criticise preachers as you do here.” Mr. Jones should have gone further and told us why. Wo emphati cally resent this insinuation that there are no preachers there. A YotiNo man whose time hangs heav ily on his hands writes to inquire what he should go at in order to keep himself occupied. Well, he might get married, or he might upset a beehive, and stand around and settle with the bees. Hither of these will insure him against lone- toineness. The New York .aldermen sent a wreath of (lowers to tiie funeral of Hubert 0. Thompson inscribed, “In Memoriam— H. (). T.” Hubert was not tiie best man in the world, but the New York aider- men are a nice lot to bo throwing out hints like that in regard to the tempera ture of the country he has moved to. It is scandalous. Gen. A. M. M aMihaci.t, of Georgetown, S. C., who was nominated recently to fill his fourth term as adjutant general of the state, died suddenly on Tuesday evening. He was sixty-two years old and was a veteran of the Mexican war as well us the lule war. He was loved, honored and respected throughout the state. Ife was one of the land marks that are every day. almost, being caught up in the shadows and taken away. It is to be hoped that the old hero rests well after his turbulent life, and that lie has waked up amid greener fields and stiller waters than any that he ever knew on earth. of the OekolockoiK greased his slices and set out to visit the editor of the Waukulla Times. And yet the very next day tiie event was published. And then they all knew it. Oh! what a power, what an institution, the press of tiie country is for the spread of virtue, intelligence, and “Fnrle Sampson Roddenberry’s” little visits among the hoys. While the tidings j 0t . t5on to „ joint canvass.’ of this visit of “Uncle Sampson Kodden- ' berry’s" to tiie editor of the Waukulla Times is exciting the country far and near, we would like to take the venerable visitor, “Sampson Hodden B.,” out be hind the smokehouse and pilaster him over with a few hints about how to pay a visit to an editor. “Uncle Sampson It. Berry” is evidently a new hand at visit ing editors, for it got found out on him the first time ho did it. And then tiie last sentence in the paragraph quoted above hints at a rather scandalous con clusion in regard to the venerable “Uncle Sampson Koddenbcrry, of the Ockolock- onec country.” The sentence quoted tells the old man to "remember” that the latch string “hangs on the outside,” etc. Now, wliut must have been the old man’s condition when he left the office of the Waukulla Times, if he couldn’t recollect on which side the door the latch string was hanging, and that necessitated the editor’s giving him the information through (lie columns of his widely-circulating journal. They evi dently had a birthday party or had col lected a year’s subscription or something like that in the office of the Waukulla Times t lie day “Uncle Sampson Rodden- berry, from the Oekolockonee oountry,” got there all the same. At any rate, when a white-haired deacon with a clean record and stiff knee like “Uncle Samp son” comes out of a newspaper office at 5 o’clock in the evening with one ear in his beaver hat and the other on his shoulder shuffling the back-step) at short intervals as he worm-fences his way toward home, and singing “Rock Along ’Liza June,” the natural inference is tliat there has been a high-uptime inside the office. As we were saying, after “Uncle Sampson” gets sober land remem bers well enough to swear to it which side of tlie door the latch-string hangs on, we would like to give him some pointers on how to pay n visit to a news paper office. Uncle Sampson, when you powder up and light out to pay a visit to a newspaper office, why pay all along the route. Pay your way on tlie train; pay your last year’s subscription when you get there ; pay your respects to the editor by asking him to go out and have some thing—don't stay in the olfico and drink up liis'n, like you did in the Waukulla Times office the other day, and then leave so sewn up that you didn’t know the latch-string of (lie office door from the solar system. No, "Uncle Sampson Roddenherrv from the Oekolockonee country,” don’t, whatever you do, don’t. Henry Wattkrson, editor of the Cou rier-Journal, is now traveling in Europe in great style and turning up his nose at the mossy and ancient architecture and institutions of the mother country. Has Henry forgotten the time, twelve years ago, when lie and a hunch of brother Louisvillains went five hundred miles from home and bet every cent they had on a Louisville horse, named Ten Broeck, that got heat? Has he forgotten how he stopped at the door of a cross roads cob bler on his way home to have his shoes half-soled and his heels greased ? Let him retrogress a little in his memory. The reported escape of Geroninio across the border into the Mexican state of Chihuahua in stigates the American editors out that way to advise the Mexican authorities to catch and exe cute him for the crimes he has committed on American soil, and then consider the Cutting business settled. The Hartford Courant has lost a famous oppor tunity forone of its familiar lectures upon “Crime in the South.” Here is a woman who has killed eleven of her relatives by poison, within four years, for the sake of the insurance upon their lives! It is a horrible story—the only serious drawback to its usefulness, for the Co lira ill’s pur poses, being that the scene of the crime is laid in New England, Western editors arc engaged in disputes over the meaning of the following decision of the Concord school of philosophy: “The self can know itself only by discriminating itself through self-regulatc.. .liniuctions in itself,” You cannot tight an American out of a cent, but just satisfy his craving for humor and fiin and his pocketbook flies open at command. The Boston Herald claims that MarkyTwain is the richest author in America. The New York Times is authority for the statement that improper fractions are omitted from the Vassar college class rooms, and there is no reason to doubt it. They are modest (here. Wasn’t it a Vassar girl who said her father was a member of the “limbislature,” and who drew down the curtains of her chamber at night to keep the man in the moon from seingher retire? Miss Rose Ci.kvei.anh, who was re cently elected editor of Literary Life, a Chicago periodical, lias put up this motto on tiie paper, “Prove all things; hold .ast that which is good.” The lawyers have just proved that Liferary Life owes more than it can pay. The cherifi' has seized it, and if lie thinks lie has a good thing in his grip lie will doubtless live up to the motto. A vovni; man who leans over a gate at dusk talking with the pretty daughter of the man that owns the gate, has to look a long time at the light of a street ear to tell whether it is going or coining. Edi tor Cutting isn’t enjoying himself any to speak of; but it strikes us tlmt Uncle .Sam fills the place of the street car in the illustration. Cutting hasn’t found out yet whether l ncle Sam is going or com ing. __ Mrs. Robinson, of Boston, recently poisoned her own children to obtain tiie insurance on their lives. Boston is hard to beat, in any tiling breezy and wicked. But for superlative cussedness, we think, Mrs. Robinson takes not only the cake hut the entire bakery, besides drawing heavily on next year’s wheat crop. Par son Downs will have to go to the rear. He and his spicy laisouswith elect ladies are too tame since Mrs. Robinson came to the surface, THE PKKSIDEXTIAIi P0K8IBIUT1KS. The next presidential campaign, though two years in the future, is already being discussed. Many things take place in two years, but judging from tiie lights before us at present, Cleveland and Blaine are likely to head the opposing tickets in 1888. There is some dissatis faction at a few isolated nets of President Cleveland, but upon the whole his ad ministration has given such general satisfaction tlmt his re-nomination seems to be assured. Wherever conventions of his party have been held they have unanimously endorsed his administra tion, and unless lie does something within the next two years.to forfeit the good opinion of the democrats lie is more than apt to he his own* successor. Blaine lias never ceased since his de feat to groom for the nomination in 1888. We believe the chances are in his favor, for none of his opponents seem to have gained any strength since tlie last cam paign. Sherman, Edmunds and Logan are all anxious to have the honor of lead ing their party, hut if either ims any great following it lias not been developed. Undoubtedly the Plumed Knight,though once defeated, can inspire more entliusi- | asm in his party than any man who has yet come to the front. llis leopard-like character is in full harmony with the character of his party, and birds of a feather will flock together. We think Blaine will head the republican ticket in 1888, and we believe he will be defeated by a larger majority than in 1884. Who are to ride'behind the saddle on tiie respective tickets is not so clear. There are numerous probabilities and a great many more possibilities.

CLEVELAND’S SUPERIOR RAKING POWDER, now being introduced in this locality, has been before the publi 3 fifteen years, and wherever introduced during that time has, on account of its purity and great merit, superseded very largely all other similar preparations for producing delicious, light and healthful bread material. Hence the great anxiety and fear evidenced by manufacturers of other baking powders when they learn that CLEVELAND’S BAKIN& POWDER is working its way into a new locality. The manufacturers of CLEVELAND’S SUPERIOR BAKING POWDER, recognizing the fact that the public have a right to know what they are using as food, have for many years published their formula, which has been confirmed by analyses made by the Government chemists, State chemists and leading scientists of various States, showing that their Baking Powder contains only purest grape cream of tartar, bicarbonate of soda and a little wheat flour, the latter to preserve the strength of the powder, and that it does not contain ammonia, alum, lime, or any adulteration whatever. The public thus has not only the assurance that CLEVELAND'S SUPERIOR BAKING POWDER is 11 absolutely pure,” but also a knowledge of all the ingredients that enter into its manufacture. This latter information is too often withheld by other baking powder companies. The scurrilous advertisements of rival manufacturers will not deter the citizens of this city from giving an article so flatteringly recommended as CLEVELAND’S SUPERIOR BAKING POWDER the trial which its merits so justly deserve.
