It was in an East Boston ferry
horse ear. She was slight, delicate
and standing up. He weighed over
200 pounds and was sitting in the
eorner by the rear door. Suddenly
be jumped from his seat to a*k tbe
cnnducto- a question. She (inno
cent, unthinking crjature) thought
lie meant to leave the ear, and so
she did into the scat lie just vacat
ed. Soon he concluded tbo inter
view with the conductor and began
to back into his seat again. The
little woman saw the proportions
of the bulky form gradually assume
rrightful magnitude and a very
alarming proximity. Quickly dig
ging her elbow into the ribs of her
neighbor (whose head and heard
looked like a bundle of saffron),
she interested him sufficiently in
the jeopardy of her situation to in-
induce him to raise bis colossal fist
and "fend oil” the setting monster.
Words cannot picture the look of
horror upon the man's face when he
reueived a vigorous thrust in the
small of his buck, and turned and
saw this wee woman in his seat.

General Parsons Says Blaine’s Mans.

Nxw York, November 1.—The
national Democratic committee to
day received another dispatch Irom
General W. H. Parsons, chairman
of the executive oommitto ot tbo
i'eople’s party of Maryland, in
which the charge that the Repub
lican national committee and Gen
eral Butler made a "deal” is repeat
ed. General Parsons now chal
lenges J antes G. Blaine and Gen
eral Butler to invoke the books of
the First National Bank, of New
York, lo disprove the statements
that each week during this cam
paign, except the last two, cheeks
of $5,000 csch have been drawn
by Mr. Blaine’s manager, Mr. Jones,
to the order of Noah A. Plymp-
ton, General Butler’s campaign
manager, which were accepted by
the latter and cashed by the bank
named. Tbe contract alleged by
Parsons was that Butler should
canvass exclusively tbe States that
were doubtful between Blaine and
Cleveland. Parsons charges Blaine
as being a party to the contract.

It is said I hat Orange Judd, the
great agr.ci.l urul publishes, got
his first start on account ot nis
miserable bandwriting. When
Judd was a young man be sorsped
together enough money to got out
the first issue ot an agricultural
paper in New York. Stepping in
to tho Herald office, be wrote an
"ad.” and appended something
that looked like "51,"meaningthat
the -‘ad.” was to occupy fifty-one
lines. The compositor, however,
thought that it meant fifty-one
times, and the next, morning the
Herald contained Judd's “ad” iu
fifty-one places, it appeared in
hold type on every psgo and in
nearly every column. When Judd
saw the mistake bo was thunder
struck, and thought that ho was,
ruined. Tho bill paralyzed him.
It amounted to more than all bis
property was worth. But tho 111k
era! advertising produced big
results. Everylmdy talked about
it. Subscriptions rushed In and
Judd's papur leaped into profitable
popularity. The tide of suocess
continued until the’lucky advertis
er accumulated a fortune of $500,-
000. Business men will find a pow
erful moral meandering through,
this tittle anecdote.

When Thurluw Weed wns quite

him that he was cut out for a poli

bitter regret that his memory was a,
sieve. Ho could not remember
dates, names, faces and appoint

bis wife, tho hopeful little woman'
told him that It >*e bad no memory
lie must make one. So every eve
ning he spent filircn minutes try
ing to recall the events of the day.
At first he could remember very
little, but hy degrees his memory
improved. Frum that time for
nearly fifty years be made it a
practice eveiy night to tell his wife
the h story ol the day, the editori
als he tract written, the people ho
had seen, his coiivcrsalion with
them, tho letters he had eent and
re-cived, his rides and walks, In

Why the Kouth Is Solid.
Temjjleloa in Bj.toa Hemld.
The South is solid, not because
she ia inimical to the North, not
because she recognizes interests In
bor people that are not the interests
of tbe nation as well. She ia solid
for her own protection against a
class of torn who have shown their
unfitness to be trusted with the
