. I II WIT, AKO HintlK. Says Seth Green : A No. 1 mackerel is a better temperance lecturer than John B, Gough ever was. At least It will make a person drink more water. Bonjamin Franklin evinced his rug ged honesty eveu in boyhood, and never had to get out of a watermelon patch faster than an active dog could drive him. Ladies bet on horse races at Sara toga. When they lose a hundred dollars, they cry so softly and beau tifully that the winner refunds it. “After a long and somewhat event ful career,” said Mr. Ephraim Potter, “my experience is that woman’s love lasts just about as long as their at tachment for a certain kind of sew ing machine. They run the Wheeler & Wilson to death for awhile, and then they go for the Grover & Baker, or some other; but when you try to fasten them down on one machine, they break the needles and play the deuce with the shuttles.” Just here a female voice was heard at the top of the stairs, and the old man picked up the morning’s paper and pretend ed to read.— N 0. Bulletin, An old woman who is crossing the street has a narrow escape from bo ing run over by a hearse: “I am not at all superstitious,” she says to her res<su, “but; it has always seemed to me%hat it would be unlucky to be kiiftd by a hearse. >T. T ' "What is solitude?” asked a Sun day-school teacher the other Sunday —a young merchant who is trying to struggle life without advertising. Ho was visibly disturb- ed when a bright eyed urchin in the rear replied: The store that don’t advertise.” * None so daf.t—Visiting magistrate (to pauper lunatic)— “Well, William, you have been here nearly ten years; I suppose you would like to be dis charged?” P. L.—“ Deed no, sir; you don’t think I am so crazed as all that, do you? I’m very comfortable, thank your honor? This is the delicious season when the golden sunshine sleeps in the meshes of the autumn haze; when the merry youth and maiden his them away to the gorgeously apparel ed woods and eat enough chestnut worms in one morning to keep a flock of yellow-hammers for a week. This is the grandest, mightiest, most glorious republic that ever blessed the world, and yet, with all its power and learning, and great ness, it can’t make an infuriated wo man stop in the middle of a sentence to listen to an explanation. It was reported of Lord Byron that he said that the most ungraceful act which a woman could perform was the eating of an egg. Commenting on this, a calm Western observer said that Byron had probably never seen an American woman hanging on by the teeth to a blazing hot corn cob.—JlT. ¥. Times. “The times are hard, my dear,” said a man. to his better-halt, “and I line it difficult to keep my nose above water.” “You could easily keep your nosofcbove water,” replied the lady, “if you didn’t keep it so often above brandy.” A little boy was asked what time it was. He answered “twelve.” “I thought it more than that,” replied his questioner. “It don’t never git no more than that in these diggins,” replied the youngsler. “Jest as soon as it gits up to twelve, it starts at one agin; it don’t nover git no higher down ia this bottom.” A Rosund foe anOkiver.—Bassom piere, French Ambassador to Spain, was telling Henry Iv. how he enter ed Madrid. "I was mounted on the very smallest mule in the world, said the Ambassador. “Ah,” “said the King, “what an amusing sight, to see the biggest ass mounted on tbesmall est mule!” “I was your Majesty’s rep resentative,” was the rejoinder. Alwaysdiscourage your inflantson’s efforts to crawl up on the side of his crib anderow. Mr. Darwin’s theory of natural selection will teach you that sudtl efforts are but the rudi m#tarjMken of your child's incli nation to inflict himself upon his country as a stump speaker, h A ‘My friends,” said a returned mis sionary, at one of the anniversary us avoid sectarian bit terness. The inhabitants of Hindoos tan, where I have been laboring for many years, have a proverb that, ‘Though you bathe a dog’s tail in oil and bind it in splints, yet you cannot get the crook out of it.’ Now, a man’s sectarian bias is simply the crook in the dog's tail, which cannot be erad icated, and I hold that every one should be alllowed to wag his own peculiarity in peace.” The Canvass In Louisiana. They are holding three Democratic barbecues per day in Rapides. Claiborne parish promises 1.500 ma jority this year, as compared with 716 in 1874. Caldwell pariah is aroused. Two thirds of the negroes of the upper portion of the parish have joined the Democracy. It will give over 500 majority. All the negroes in and around the town of Yidalia. Concordia parish, are Democrats. It is possible for the Democrats to elect their parish ticket, as the Radicals are divided and split and on the worst of terms. The division in the Radical ranks in the Fifth Judicial District is com ptete. Two parishes, West Baton Rouge and Iberville, support Cole, while East Baton Rouge and East Feliciana support Dewing, the regu lar nominee. The Democrats of Ouachita held their first meeting in what is called the Colony, October 33. Over a thou sand persons were present, almost wholly negroes. Seventy-lire of these joined the Democratic party.— N. O. Democrat, 30th. The “lie Facto’*" Plan*. Courler-Jounal.) Gov. Kellogg, of Louisiana, may be expected shortly to make his call upon Grant for soldiers, and the other half of the army will doubtless be sent into the State for the bene fit of those “sound Republicans,” Packard and Casey. Kellogg has al ready begun to make his arrange ments by means of negro affidavits, under Taft’* programme, for the ar rest of thousands of Democrats a few days before the election. When Taft takes the stump in New York he should tell the people something about his beautiful election machin ery. ■-££••>• )■' The Earl of Albemarle describes the Queen of England when a bright, pretty girl, seven years old, she day after day watered the plants under the palace window,where he watched her: “It was amusing to see how impartially she divided the contents of the watering pot between the flow ers and her own little feet. Her sim ple but becoming dress contrasted with the gorgeous apparel now worn by the little damsels of the rising generation-a large straw hat and a suit of white cotton; a colored fichu was the only ornament she wore. ’ Mf* * Wll#* celebrated Belts will eure chills, correct deranged nervous systems, strengthen the appetite, and actively aid in restoring mpaired health.
