Mr. Stephens is still suffering from his
game- leg.
The comet is the Independent of the
heavens. It is uncertain and erratic, here
to-day and gone to-morrow.
Representative nainmond, of Georgia,
6ays the world is ruled by lawyers. Hen
ry Clay said the lawyers were the nobili
ty of America.
If all the people in Europe who desire to
immigrate to this country had the means
to do so, we believe the population of the
United States would doublo in twelve

There seems to be a universal taste for
titles among mankind. Iu England and
other European countries it is Prince, Duke,
Earl, Ac. In America it is Judge, General,
Colonel, Major, Ac.
In Great Britain contested elections for
Parliament are settled by the courts. This
would bo a good law for this country.
Here every contested election in the House
and Senate is decided by a party vote.
Emory Speer says he submitted his dis
patch to the Independent Junta, in Atlan
ta, before he sent it. Wo expect that Mr.
Stephens was suffering at the time from
his anklo and did not pay much attention
to what Emory was reading.
Prof. Sharpless, of Hflverford College,
gives some points as to the comet now in
the heavens. Its nearest approach to the
earth Was 88,000,000 miles. June 10 it will
arrive within 5,000,000 miles of the sun. It
is visible to the naked eye and at mid
night is about midway from the horizon to
Tolaris. It has a tail 500,000 miles long.
l'ho Augusta Chronicle says the military
spirit in that city is on the decline. So it
Is in most cities of Georgia. The fact is. it
takes money to keep a volunteer organiza
tion up to a high mark; and there are few
companies in Georgia that have a sinking
fund to “dress by." Rich and liberal cap
tains can keep a company up, in times of
peace; but where are they to be found?
Every county in the state can elect dele
gates to the Democratic Convention in the
way that seems best to the citizens of each
county but it seems to us that the best,
fairest and most impartial method and
the method least open to objection or com
plaint, is to hold primary elections under
similar rules and regulations as govern
our elections for members of the legisla
ture; and, also, at the samo precincts in
every county. No one could then complain
of packed meetings.
Newberry, a member of the Virginia Sen
ate, and a readjaster, made a speech at
Wydeville, Va., May 22. He declared that
Mahonewastho most ungrateful, imperi
ous, dictatorial, and corrupt politician he
had ever known, lie compared him to
Aaron Burr, Benedict Arnold and Judas
Iscariot, and said if he had lived in the
days of Judas, he would have sold Christ
for 20, instead of 3o pieces of silver. Ho
declared that Mahone, when president of
a great railroad corporation had perpe
trated a swindle of §0,000,000. lie de
nounced Mahone as a scoundrel, a no
torious infidel, and a gambler by inheri
tance and profession, and said when at
Richmond he made his headquarters at a
gambling den.
May 25th Senator Hoar circulated a pa
per among the Senators who were present
that day in the Senate Chamber, Of in num
ber, ali of whom signed it, addressed to
Senator Ilill expressing their satisfaction
at the news of his improvement, their
sympathy for him in his sufferings and
their admiration for his courage and pa
tience and their regard for him personally.
This letter accompanied by a cordial let
ter from Senator Brown was forwarded to
Senator Hill. This was a beaut : in! and ap
propriate tribute to Mr. Hill from His
brother Senators.
The whiskey inen wish to pay the tax on
whiskey in bond when it is taken from the
warehouses. The opponents of this meth
od object because the whiskey loses in
quantity and consequently th6 tax is re
duced while it improves in quality and the
government loses the interest on the mon
ey and flic whiskey men save it. In other
words they think the whiskey men should
pay tlie tax in advance upon the full quan
tity of the whiskey. The tax is exceeding
ly onerous and the Government should act
liberally in the matter and allow the whis
key men to pay ttie tax when they take it
out of bond.
The National Republican Congressional
Campaign committee, at Washington city,
have notified all the Government employ
ees In that city that they will be expected
to contribute 2 per cent, of their salaries
to the campaign fund of the Republican
party to be used in the campaign thissum-
mer and fail. General Cui tis has just been
convicted in New York of collecting politi
cal assessments from Government em
ployees. Congress should investigate l his
matter and put a stop to it. It is simply
robbing the employees of the Government
and the money thus stolen is used in de
bauching and corrupting the voters of the
country.
The rivers of South Carolina near the
coast, contain immense deposits of phos
phate rock. This rock is dug up by means
of dredge boats and also by hand and
when cleaned is sold. A few months ago
the price was §0 per ton but has declined
to §0 per ton. An immense business is
done iu this line and it must be very pro-
iltable as the stock, of one company, which
operates in Goosaw company, which oper
ates in Coosaw river, the par value of
which is $100, is now worth SI,500 per
share. The law requires all companies
and parties to pay the State a royalty of
one dollar per ton and this company last
year paid the State nearly 8100,000. These
phosphates are used in the manufacture of
fertilizers.
A Nashville (Tennessee) merchant’s wife
recently gave him the following letter, with
instructions that it should not bo opened
until lie got to his place of business: “I am
forced to tell you something that I know
will trouble you, but it is my duty to do so.
I am determined yousliallknow it, let the
result be what It may. I have known for
a week that this trial was coming, but kept
It to myself until to-day, when it lias
reached a crisis and I cannot keep it any
longer. You must not censure mo too
harshly, for you must reap the benetits as
well as myself. I do hope it won’t crush
you. The flour is all out. Please send me
some this afternoon. I thought that by
this method you would not forget it.” The
husband telephoned forthwith for a bar
rel of tiie best Hour in the market to be
sent home instanter.
In the Superior Court ol' Washington
county, Rhode Island, May 27th, a decree
was entered divorcing Catharine Chase
Sprague from William Sprague, giving
Mrs. Sprague the custody of her three
daughters, and permitting her to resume
in r maiden name, with leave hereafter to
apply for alimony if she chooses. Thus
are suudered the marital ties of two noted
personages. The beautiful and brilliant
Kate Chase, daughter of Chief Justice
Chase, and William Sprague Governor and
Senator and a few years ago one of the
wealthiest manufacturers in the North.
When the millionaire Governor and the
fascinating and accomplished daughter of
1 lie chief justice were married everybody
exclaimed what a brilliant match and ev
ery one thought that a life or happiness
and joy lay before them. They possessed
everything to make human life happy. Rut
fashion, on the part of the wife, and drink
on the part of tho husband, turned this
charming Eden into an arid desert.
Wealtii is Uown, happiness ls ff° n0 - the

o think that a picture so full of pro.n-

one of bleakness and sorrow.

ABOUT A SKELETON.
Hi' 1>K. PAUL BATTLE.
I.—THE PROLOGUE.
I was attending my last course of lec
tures in one of the medical schools m a
large Western city, during the winter of
1879. The holidays had arrived. It was
Christmas Eve. The janitor, who was al
ways smoking an old clay pipe, had re
moved the models and pictures serving to

sex. How came they together? A queer
feeling crept over mo and my hair stood on
end. The wind moaned and whistled over
the housetop and through the windows
nothing couid bo seen but an impenetrable
The tire was turning
produced by the dirt-clods falling upon a j
coffin, away down in the grave, awaiting ;
its covering for the last long sleen.
It said: “Sinful man, those bones which
you hold in your hand were once nourish- {
ed by two hearts that loved each other '
most passionately. But, alas! theirs were !
not the sweets of love, but they partook of
its .gall and wormwood. Be attentive, and
and you will perceive their story." Pity-
now usurped m>- fear.
The bones softly slipped from my hands,
and were gradually and wonderfully-
transformed into living creatures—the
cranium into a handsome youth, and tho
iuferior maxilla into a lovely maiden. Tlte
carpet beneath my feet was changed into
a verdant meadow dotted with flowers,
the walls and coiling of the room slowly-
receded from each other, till they were
changed into a vast expanse of blue sky;
the different articles of furniture assumed
the shapes of trees and bushes. Then the
gentleman, who, judging by appearances,
was from the city, offers his arm to the
young lady and they stroll towards a
large farm-house in the distance. The
lady has large, blue eyes, which are in
striking contrast to her brown, luxuriant
hair. They are making love, no doubt,
for, after conversing earnestly with each
other, the young man impresses a kiss
upon the lady s cheek and whispers some
thing in her ear. She blushes and nods.
They have exchanged vows. The sun,
gradually growing larger and redder,
blushing, as it were, at the scene it wit
nessed, sank down behind the distant tree-
tops. The shades of twilight fell over the
earth, glad with the blessings of spring.
When tlie two reach the house tho door
opens anti an elderly couple emerges, sa
luting their “dear daughter Sallie,” and
“good Mr. Bentwell.” A lively- conversa
tion ensues. Soon Sallie’s parents return
in-doors, bowing to the “Good-bye, Mrs.
Melbourne; good-bye, Mr. Melbourne” of
Bentwell. The lovers lingered a while
longer, when Mr. Bentwell said;
"The train soon starts for the city, and
I must now leave you, Sallie. This is the
ring.”
So saying, lie slipped it on her finger,
and after a last embrace lie was s<x>n lost
to sight. With a glistening tear in each
eye, Sallie enters the house.
The scene changes.
This is Main street. Everything betok
ens tlie action and ceaseless toil of tho
city. Drags and carts and wagons and
street-cars and carriages pass cacli other
heedlessly, while on the sidewalks, strewn
with barrels and boxes and bales, crowds
of people hurry to and fro. Opposite me
stands a large house sporting a blue sign,
on which was painted, in gilt letters.

illustrate tlie lectures, the last of which j to ashes, and the lamp flickered restlessly
had been delivered for the day, when our • J ’
worthy Dean entered the amphitheater,
bustling and smiling. Each student, full
of expectation, remained in his seat. The
good man’s eyes sparkled with suppressed
merriment, almost as brilliantly as the
monstrously large ring on his linger, while
his huge gray mustache gave him a some
what ferocious appearance. By the way,
lie was Professor of Anatomy. Trying to
assume an Imposing appearance with his
head erect, his feet planted far apart and
his hands crossed over his capacious epig
astric region, he announced a week’s holi
day, bade us a “Merry Christmas,” and
left the hall iike heentered it—bustling and
smiling. A moment's stillness, and then
shouts of exultation from two hundred
throats rang through the lecture hall, and
echoed and re-echoed through the venera
ble building, from the damp cellars below
the cadaverous smelling dissecting room
above. It is questionable whether or not
the grim, mutilated “subjects,” that were
ranged side by side on tables covered with
“coffee-sacks,” would have turned over
and stretched their necks in astonishment
had their stiilly-frozen limbs permitted
them. There were sounds of hurrying feet
shuffling down the stairs, and loud, bangs
of the great entrance door; and then all
was silent in the lonely building. With the
exception of a few hungry rats, the “sub
jects,” or “stiffs,” were let alone; but they
minded that little. For them, as they lay
stretched out on their backs, with their
mouths open and their dull, expressionless
eyes directed toward the ceiling, the dark
ness and silence and cold had no terrors.
More than one living mortal there were
that night who had cause to envy them;
for they were dead—dead to biting penury,
to thwarted ambition, to disappointed
love, to the cold sneers of the world, dead
to despair.
The air was bitterly cold. The snow
shrieked and complained ominously under
tho footsteps of the red nosed passers-by.
The dark sky frowned upon the white
earth, as if it envied the latter’s robe of
innocence; while the trees strotched out
their snow-covered branches, pleading in
vain for warmth from its sunless expanse.
We attempted to snow-ball each other, but
the snow sullenly refused to stick togeth
er, and llow from our hands in a spray of
a thousand tiny crystals. Buttoning inv
overcoat, I soon was fairly on my way
home, whistling tho much-abused “Sweet
Bye-and-Bye.” My home, as I called it.
was at my cousin’s, a physician and a
bachelor. Walking past the City Hall, I
was startled from a gloomy reverie about
my studies by tlie bleak, cracked tones of
the city clock giving forth the hour of 4.
“This is Christmas eve!” escaped me in
voluntarily. Just then something soft, but
heavy bulged up against mo and nearly
knocked me over. It was a big fat woman.
Both of us must have been staring into
vacancy; at any rate, there was a collis
ion. Tlie immense turkey which she had
been carrying in her arms fell to the
ground, and an emphatic “deck” was
emitted from its lifeless chest, confirming
my words about tiie presence of Christ
mas eve. Apologizing to the pouting and
panting woman, and, turning tho street
corner, I hailed a benumbed and cheerless
car-driver, who was cursing and whipping
ids mules to spite the cold, I suppose. The
car was crowded with faces fat and happy;
faces thin and dejected; faces bearded and
beardless; faces intellectual and ignorant;
faces besotted and virtuous; faces smil
ing; faces scowling; baby faces; pretty
maiden faces, and buxom matron faces.
My destination was soon reached and
alighted.
Knocking at my cousin’s office d-w>r (the
office was attached to the-residence,) and
hearing a hearty “Come in!” I went in,
and so did a cold, crisp gust of air. This
roused the Doctor from his chair, and
caused him to poke the fire so that it cast
a ruddy glare all over the room. “Merry
Christmas!” said I. “Merry Christmas,
Paul,” rejoined he. “Just from school?”
“Yes sir.” Then we seated ourselves and
seriously studied the ilames in the stove.
Presently supper was announced, and the
Doctorand myself met the family in the
dining room, who were waiting for us to
complete the happy circle.
The roasted turkey, the delicious oys
ters, the fragrant celery, tlie blushing cran
berries, the delicious fruits, and the steam
ing eggnog Hlied the room with a cheery
Christmas odor. Even tho Doctor (who
was considered crabby by some stroked
his shortly-cropped whiskers with evident
satisfaction ns lie munched his turkey and
glanced over tlie pages of the “double
number” Courier-Journal. The egg-nog
was strong—and this fact may have aided
in giving birth to the story which is about
to follow.
II—THE STORY.
With a light heart and a light head, but
a somewhat heavy stomach, I gained my
room. A bright fire was burning in. the
grate, and tlie flames, as they noisily leap
ed up the chimney, checkered the wails
with numberless dancing figures of light
and siiade. Having lighted a cigar and
thrown inyself into a chair, I fell into a
revery. “A flame is a curious tiling,”
thought I. “It isn’t a body, still one can
see and feel it. Now it grows larger, then
smaller; it changes color many times;
now it leaps up merrily, but to sink back
tiie next moment mournfully; it gives a
little fluttering sound, and is gone forever.
A symbol of life. Bah! it is simply a phe
nomenon dependent upon active combus
tion. Well, so is life a phenomenon or a
series of phenomena, dependent upon
combustion going on in the animal organ
ism. It, too, struggles feebly and goes out
forever.”
Suddenly my thoughts reverted to school
and the coming crisis concerning my de
gree. Grasping the nearest book, which
happened to be “Gray’s Anatomy,” I found
myself staring at the picture of a skull.
Soon I was in deep study of the cranial
bones. The ro inutiic connected with this
subject are difficult to grasp, and from
this very reason I determined to master
them fully. In one corner of tho room
stood a long pine box which held my skel
eton. Nearly all doctors and medical stu
dents have skeletons for the purpose of
study. It Is not wished to have it under
stood that not every other person owns a
skeleton, but it is not visible. It belongs
to no man or woman, aDd no spirit, bless-
sod or dam ned, can come to claim it. It is
covered with warm flesh that is beautiful
lo beh old, and surrounded by tides or pul
sating, life-giving blood; it never rattles,
and you are not afraid of it. Your skele
ton, dear reader, was never in a coffin, or
pickled in brine, or placed upon a dissec
ting table, although it may some of these
winter nights—who knows? Mine did. So
did all the skeletons that are used for
study. Now whether or not the skeleton
in yonder pine box once rested in “Potter’s
Field,” or was raised from tho chilling
waves or tho Ohio river, or ferried over its
bosom from the penitentiary across the
way, or carried at night from the City
Hospital, I do not pretend to know.
W Hither the principle that once gave these
bones life and motion has fled no one
knows.
Removing tho lid, I rummaged among
the bones to find the skull. It was lying
in a corner glowering at me from beneath
its overhanging superciliary ridges. This
and tho lower jaw, or inferior maxilla,
which strango to say, was placed snugly
away against the superior maxilla, just as
in life, I put upon the table. Resumed my
studies, alternately reading and examining
the bones, I discovered that the ridges end
fossal of tho inferior maxilla were much
more Indistinct than those of tlie cranium.
Tho toolh of tlie lower jaw were small
er and prettier than those of tho upper.
The inferior maxilla was smooth and deli
cately shaped, and evidently once belong?
ed to a female. The other bone wns large
to disproportion but well formed, and

you to give him the slightest ray of hope.

silence. It was a doleful voice, and the j suddenly cried, as if inspired; “Oh, God!
wor.,.-, came in thuds, similar to the sounds | ho may be in the hospital. Let us go there.”
Then they hurried away in the dark.
Once more the interior or the hospital ap
pears to my view. Sallie Melbourne is
here, and frantically asks about a man
named Bentwell. The clerk, after turning
over the pages of his book, reads: “F.
Bentwell—plithisf3—” then stops and says,
“he was hero; but ”
“Not dead!”
"Yes, ma’am.”
Miss Melbourne utters a low moan and
falls backwards. Iu so doing she strikes
her bead violently against the iron banis
ter of the stair way. Gently they raised
her up and placed her in a bed. The house
surgeon came. She would not live many
hours. Once she opened her lips and said:
“Bury me next to him, no matter where it
is. Telfmy parents—” but her nature suc
cumbed to the inevitable.
Other scenes follow. I behoid two fresh
ly made graves in Potter’s Field; several
men prowling along in the darkness of
night, with lanterns and spades; the dig
ging up and riffling <■! two coffins; a wag
on driving swiftly away and two police
men hurryiug in its wake; and the gloom
once more obscures my sight.
Our dissecting-room, with its numerous
lights, dimmed by tlie tobacco smoke fiuiu
the students’ pipes, tlie clicks and slides
of many knives at work; the impressive
words of our Professor of Anatomy, who
was conspicuous by his huge moustache;
tlie peculiar odor of preserved bodies—ali
were presented to my faculties in a hide
ously realistic manner.
On one side of the room 1 perceive, a-
mong others, the bodies of the two ill-
fated lovers. Then I see tiie janitor, smok
ing his clay pipe, boiling and scraping the
bones of those whose ta!e has been told. I j
detect iiis mistake in misplacing the two |
inferior maxiihe. Now I understand why j
these bones were together.
There must bo another skull in some |
doctor's possession, whose bones differ iu
sex.
At last, like their spirits, so the bodies
of the lovers, iu some measure at least,
wore united. Death himself is powerless to
part them asunder.
Florian Bentwell,
Grain Dealer.
Suddenly the interior isopen to my view.
All is silent here, and no business seems
to be carried on. Mr. Bentwell alone is in
liis office, reclining in a chair, and press
ing his forehead with both hands. His
eyes are downcast,, and his whole attitude
betokens sullen meditation. A fearful
change lias occurred in his features. De
spair now lurks where supreme joy was
depicted not long ago. Ah ! tho books in
front (J him tell the tale. Speculation, in
order to gain a grand fortune for his be
loved, resulted in failure. The crash came
—he was ruined. Picking up a pen, with
trembling hand, lie dashed off a letter,
sealed andjaddressed it and placing it in his
pocket lie hastily left the office.
Again the scene shifts. The old farm
house, surrounded by trees, once more ap
pears. Saifie is in the garden. She is pret
tier and happier than ever. A livelyjlittle
negro boy rushes to her side, panting and
smiling, and drops a letter into her out
stretched hand. He laughs roguishly, for
ho knows that Miss Sadie’s beau has writ
ten, having many a time brought her a let
ter addressed in tlie same bold style. Ea
gerly she tore it open, and with a happy,
blushing face proceeded to read it. LittJe
did Sallie dream how this letter differed
in tone and import from the preceding
ones. •
Her face blanches to the whiteness of
death; she utters a heart-rending shriek
and falls in a swoon upon the grass. The
fatligr comes rushing out of tho house as
Ills age permits him, followed by the ter
ror-stricken mother. They wring their
hands and call for help. Sallie soon recov
ers, and slowly rising with the assistance
ot her parents, looks around in a confused
manner, and then points to the letter at
her feet. The parents read it aloud. It
was dated September 20, 1875. It ran
thus:
“My Own Darling:—It is probably for
the last time that I address you as such.
I have utterly failed in business, and am at
this moment not worth a dollar. I absolve
you from our engagement, as I cannot ex-
r ict you to become a pauper’s wire. Then
was rich; now I ain poor. My healtii lias
been bad for sometime, and when I will
grow able again and strong. God only
knows. So farewell. F. Bentwell.”
The parents tried in vain to console their
bewildered daughter. Sho accused them,
as well as Bentwell, of being sordid and
unfeeling. She avowed that she had enough
money to comfortably support them both
till he could earn more, and that she would
have nursed him faithfully in his sickness
till he recovered. Her love was mighty—
it overcame all obstacles; it laughed down
all dangers. Giving way to the most in
tense agony, Sallie fled to her room and
buried her burning face in one of the cool
bed-pillows. After a time her sobbing
ceased; she arose and seated herself. She
took from her finger her engagement ring
and looked at it long and Intently. As she
did so the true meaning of Bentwell’s•ac
tion must have dawned upon her mind. He
loved her fervently; that was certain. Ills
love was unselfish; for he would rather
undergo life-long misery apart from her
than have her with him but to undergo the
disgrace and hardships of poverty. He
was too honest for crooked ways in busi
ness, and determined manfully to bear the
consequences of his own deeds. “How no
ble, but how misguided!” exclaimed Sallie.
With those words tho picture vanished.
Another view presents itself. It is night.
Tho noise and turmoil of the city have
ceased. In tho distance the city hospital
looms up in its grandeur, and from its nu
merous windows tho friendly lights shine
far out into the darkness. They are like
so many welcoming beacon lights to the
forsaken and poverty-stricken sick:
Approaching and entering, I beheld a
pitiful sight. Who is that almost fleshless
man, with haggard countenance. Can it
be—yes, it is—Florian Bentwell! His eyes
are abnormally bright and sunken deeply
In their sockets; on each cheek burns a
hectic spot; his respirations come and go
in quick gasps; scarlet blood, mingled with
white froth, escapes at his mouth. That
fearful ravisher, consumption, has well
nigh completed his work. Hark! “Sallie,
my sweetheart, could I«seo you once more,
I would indeed die happy." His mind evi
dently reverts to tho love-scenes of two
years past as he gasps: “Train soon
starts—must leave you—this ring.” Now
the chili denth-damp gathers on his blow;
his face lengthens and becomes pinched ;
his eyes roll convulsively; there Is a rattle
in his throat; a quiver runs through his
whole frame—he is dead.
As ids attendants move hero and there, I
detect snatches of low conversation, such
as “Came last night.” “No relations or
friends.”
Onco moro tho scene changed. In an un
frequented street, at about dusk, the ilg-
III THE EPILOGUE.
Bang! went “Gray’s Anatomy,” falling
to the floor, and I awoke. It was only a
dream. Dreams are not the truth. At any
rate, we mod nut believe in them. Tho
lamp was burning low and the fire hail
gone out. All was silent, in the house.
Extinguishing the light, I hurried to bed.
My story has come to the end.
OUR NEW YORK LETTER.
From ouroten Correspondent.
New York, June 2nd, 1882.
Heroes are always nice fellows to write
about, almost as nice as heroines. I shall
have to call your attention to I iiroe or more
of the former and one of the latter. Sun
dry Now Yorkers and others were saved
from a frightful death, on Wednesday night,
by a young station agent on tlie Connecti
cut Shore Line Railway. He was off duty,
returning from a pleasant visit to his girl,
and as he lightly trod l lie track heobservod
dark and mysterious moving objects, which
turned out to be five tramps, angry at being
turned off trains, placing obstructions. Un
armed as he was, Ik* boldly challenged them
and advanced, pretending to feel for an im
aginary pistol in Ids hip pocket. One scoun
drel Hit him with a stone and another shot
him through the arm. but they ran, and ho
rail tlie other way, reaching the station
just in time to stop the Boston express.
That young Charlie May, aged 20, is one
of my heroes, and I think ho and his girl
ought to tind courting made easy for them
if there is any gratitude in corporations.
Another gallant fellow is Capt. Burrows,
of the steamer Rio Grande, On her voy
age from Galveston, loaded with cotton,
the cargo caught lire. He chased an Ital
ian bark, transferred iiis passengers, ran
ids vessel ashore on tlie Delaware Break
water, scuttled and sunk her, which put
the lire out, stopped up the holes again,
pumped the water out out, got up steam,
chased ihe Italian bark again, took his
passengers aboard again and gaily came
into port. His father and grandfather, to
gether, rescued a vessel which had been
taken by pirates, and made prisoners of
the prize crew of teA stalwart ruffians.
The heroism or tlie others was manifested
some time ago at the Potter Park row lire.
There was a pleasant Iittlo affair of testi

Flags flew freely but somewhat incon
gruously on Wednesday. It was the Queen’s
birthday. That covered every British ship

brought flags at halfmast and trimmed

He was a line old fellow as well as a rich

It was an old forensic maxim, when coun
sel haven’t a leg to stand on, to abuso the
opponent’s attorney. The monopolists
have lately taken to ridiculing Mr. F. B.
Thurber, perhaps their most distinguished
enemy. It’s a hard row for them to hoe,
for lie has too much hard horse sense to
give them much of a chance to get the
laugh on him. Anyone can judgo wheth
er he knows his business by trying one
of hispound packages of roasted coffee-
aromatic stuff, a sniff at which makes
one’s hair curl—and reflecting that a man
who knows just how to get the inside
track of business rivals in these days of
close competition not very likely to make
an ass oi himself in other respects which
may not seem of such diroct importance
to him.
Jumbo is driving tlie Brooklynose erazyj
Everybody lias seen tlie great favorite of

used to bo dollars, dollars, dollars, you
now hear tho word Jumbo at least as oft
en .as tlie word dollars. He has captur
ed old and young in all conditions of life,
and when he comes your way, I suppose
he'll scoop you all in tiie same way.

A DEGRADED TYPE OF YOUNG MEN.
Chicago Inter-Ocean.
If tlie Malley boys could be hung on
“general principles,” without violating the
rules of law, it would be a wholesome
thing to do. There aro a multitude of
“fast” young men that dress in good
clothes, and ogle and smirk and smile and
sneer at virtue, who should take a lesson
and turn aside from imitating the Mal-
leys, whether they hang or not. Tiie most
despicable character who walks the earth
to-day is the young man who dishonors
his mother and defiles his Creator in iiis
efforts to debauch and degrade woman.
The man who degraded and ruined Jennie
Cramer was as much a murderer as he
