If wc could sell a little more of this and a little less of that, wc could make things come out even the last man that came in would carry off the last suit; but -wc can't. Out of every stock, there are a great many sizes left -when some are gone. The best we can do with these incomplete assort ments is to mark them low enough to set a great many people looking among them for bargains. This we do every day at this time of year ; and just now we have enough of such to stock a little store. Besides, odd parts of suits get left coats, vests and trousers. We have a room in which there is nothing else. There is in that room cheaper clothing than you have any notion of. We call it the Bargain-Room. These marked-down suits and garments are of all sorts ; they may be among the best in the store. We force a continual clear ance of such articles as would only embarrass us; and keep our stocks always fresh and full. Wanamaker & Brown, Oak Hall, Sixth and Market; Philadelphia. HOW TO GET almost Everything. Do you know how to get in the easiest way and to best advantage what you want for dress and house-furnishing? First, how: Write for a catalogue ; see what you can learn from it about the things you want. If samples can be useful to you, ask for them and state your wants so plainly that exactly the right samples can be sent. Second, where : The place where goods are kept in the greatest variety ; where they are sold for what they really are in respect to quality ; where prices are lowest ; where most care is taken to serve customers accept ably; and where you have the right to return whatever is not satisfactory. There no matter where you are if you make your wants known and avail your self of your privileges, you will get the best things in the best way, promptly and without trouble or risk; sometimes by mail, some times by express, almost always at less cost for car riage than the money you save in the price.

Tlio New York i'nn of the 7th iust. relates the foHowinn strange xtmy of a iuhiiIkt of reinarkalile cures resultinp; from visits made to the worlil-renowneil Chapel of Knoek, in the County Mayo, Ireland : Mr. William ( leouhetrhati, well known to the inlialiitants of the Thirteenth Ward, and. indeed, to a rreat many New Yorkers, arrived home a few days- a-'ofront a visit to his native j country. Ireland. Mr. ieoirhe-xan felt that his journey would he incomplete ttnle-s he . made a iiilurimaffe to tiie famous Knock chapel, the scene of the remurkahle appar ition of ii year ao. Of his journey there awl what he saw and experienced lie last evenint; told in his saloon, r.t (ir.tnd and 'a mien streets, i " I visited Knock chapel," said Mr. (ieothe I tran, "on the fith of August last, a little less ' than a year after tho wonderful apparition, j I went in company with the Key. Father Corhett. of ( larcinorris. The "village of Knock, as von know, of course, is in County l Mayo, and In the liarony of Cotello. 'Knock' i in (Jaeiie menus a hill,' and the villa-re is : riirhtlv named, fm-it is surrounded hy eleven ' little liills. We drove down from Claremor ; l is in a jaunting ear. After a drive throu-rh ; the rain ivp reached the church. All aloiiir ! the road we hud passed pilirriins lwiund for ! the same destination as ourselves. When wc . reached the church I was surprised at the 1 iiiimtwr of persons who surrounded it, inuny j of them kneeling in the mini and water, j with their faces on the irronnd, devoutly : prayin;: totlod and the I'.lessed Mother that their pains misrht tic taken from them. I oon-f.-ss that I was skeptical when I set out for Knock. I was a Catholic, to lie sure, and meant to he a riwnI Catholic, too. hut my credulity was pretty severely taxed hy the accounts of the miriclcs I had heard. Hut when I saw that church and the surrounding worshippers, feelincj of reverential awe stole over me. 'I saw." continued Mr. (Jeopheiran, "a humble church, with no claim to architectu ral lier.uty. It was Imilt of frray stone, in tin- shapeof a cross, or of a letter T. The lmdy of the church is uliout ( feet long, the cross portion crhups .".it feet lmjr. It was on the soutlicrn r:ihle of the church that the apparition apiM-arcd. Yon rciiienilior what the apparition was '.' No? Well, on tho 'Jlst of August of last year, which was the eve of the octave day of the Assumption of the lilcssod Viririn Mary, a reinarkalile apoar ance was seen at 7i." in the ovoninji. It was a gloomy, rainy cvcninir, without a particle of sunshine. The bo-, aixiimits say that some persons hurryinsi a'ono; the road which leads to the chiiol saw the wall licaut ifullv illuiniiiatc'l hy a soft light, amid which stars shone. ithei' persons came up ami stopjicd and liMiked. These saw on the gable end of the church in this light an altar, ami by it figures of the Hlessed Virion St .Tolm'tlm ! Kvangelist. and St. Joseph! On the altar was 1 A Rat's Fkiht With a Snakk. On Lind- , 1 a lamb standing, and l-h'md it a crucifix j '' Foint, Cat., a rat sitting on the shore with the figure of the Lord Jesus Christ 1 S!'w a snake of unusual size coiled upon a I it ! upon it. All around the altar was a golden ' tlu l'"''it 't nnid just above the water sun i light. These figures wore visible until Pi I "in itself, anil probably asleep. The rat ' o'clock that evening, and twenty persons ' ji'ui'd upon the folds of the serpent's body. ' I saw thorn, and afterward before a committee 1 11,0 sl,1,k,; struck instantly, fastening its I of clergymen testified to the facts as I have i:hks lietwoen the rat's shoulders. Then j told theiu. Subsequently many cures were lgan " contest that was truly thrilling. The ; ! accomplished br the application of cement 1 r!,t struggling violently, attempted to shake , taken trom the cliaiiel walls. I should have 1 said that over the gray stone of which the church is built is. or was. a firm coating of cement to protect it from the lieating storms that abound in that region. But now the cement has disappeared in great pieces, taken away by the pious pilgrims. "We driive" first to the dwelling of the Very Bov. Archdeacon Bartholomew A. Cavanagh, the priest of the parish of Knock, who accompanied us to the church. He is a man of no years, perhaps, tall and slendr-r, with a fine face in which is devoutness and unassuming piety a man you would trust and lielieve. Guided bv hint we made our I wav thronrdi tlirno.r ti-t i.roeo.i i.. I i froiit of the shrine. Against the wall where ! j the vision appeared there now stands a statue ! 1 of the Blessed Virgin covered by a canopy. j This is the shrine. The end of the gable is all 1 boarded up to keep the people who come ! ' there from pulling off tho cement. And now I I stood before I he shrine of our I.adv- of Knock. 1 knelt on the damp ground' ami nrarod that mv pains might be taken from ine. F'or two years and more I had been a 1 great sufferer from lumbago. I had sueh j pains in mv back that I could not sleep un less propped up by pillows. Why, 1 have stood tehmd the bar here and almost cried out with the great pain. I was still suffering when I went to Knock. It was with diffi culty by the aid of a chair that I got on the seat of ' the car, and Father Corhett had to help me to got down. When I arose from my knees in front of tho shrine I felt lietter. I then went inside of the church and again knelt and said more prayers, sueh as Father Cavanagh suggested. Inside of that church the Rosary is continually chanted from 4 iu the afternoon until II o'clock at night, and a few weeks before I was there it was chanted continually night and day. When I raine out fif church 1 felt like a new man, and was able to jump up to the seat of the car with out aid, nor have I felt the pain since. I am cured. This is a fact that I am tolling you. Father Cavanitgh gave ine some of the cement, Hiul also some wood from the win dow iii the gable where tiie apparition aj pe,ire,l. I used jv,i!i a""o.r;iitg 1.1 fiifee-ttoii-., bt coi.j?ci..i -,e,tii the iii-ayet'.s I said. The usual way to use the cement is to mix it with holy water and bind it on the dis eased spot. Here is some of the wood."' Mr. (ieoghegan took from liehindthe liar a pajicr in which were a few bits of soft wood, that seemed to lie the moulding from a win dow casing. They wore painted a dirty white, except, of course, on the ends, where they had iM'en sawed into small pieces. "I have given several of the bits away," continued Mr. (ieoghegan. " I stayed in Knock two days. Avery comfortable hotel has liecn built for the accommodation of the many pilgrims that thick therefrom all parts of tin- country and from other countries. They have left lieliind them proofs of the healing power of the cement in a pile of sticks and crutches on w hich they hobbled to the chapel, and which they abandoned when they went away cured. While I was there Father 'avanagh showed me a letter written hy the .Nun of Kenmare to the Key. I'. .1. Canon lJourke. the great Irish scholar. In this letter the Nun wrote that she had lieen an invalid for many years, confined to hoi lied much of the time, "but that she had been cured by the cement and tin' Hlessed Mother. She wrote that she 1iohm1 that she did not offend ;mI by taking out of His hands the lmnishment that lie had seen tit to lay upon her. There is no collection taken there, but a box stands by the shrine with the words ' For our Lady Knock ' on it. In this the visitor may drop his offering. There is mi compulsion. Any jjift is received, from a penny to a pound, and no one knows what I you give. I he money goes to repairing the church, which suffers continually from tho ! pilgrims that constantly visit it."" j " Do you know, from iersonal experience, of any cures besides your own?" j "I do," said Mr. (ieoghegan. ''There is i I'oliort Murray, the son of the widow, Eliza j Murray, who" keeps that well-known inn, I 'The Three .lolly Pigeons." at Auburn, three I miles from liallvmahon, in county Longford. I (iohKmith speaks of the inn in his 'Deserted i Village.' I knew liobert w hen he was a boy. lh- had a crooked leg, and walked with a ! crutch and a cane, his crook.-d leg twisted around the crutch. For tifteen years he was lame, until he went to Knook'chapH, and came away cured, leaving his crutch behind him. Another cure was that of the son of Matthew Lovett, a nailer of ISallvmahou. ; The lxiy hail a running sore on his neck, ap- parent ly incurable, lie went to Knock, j liound on the cement, and I myself saw him with Ins neck as dry and well as the hack of my hand. Then I saw a young man in Kni par, county West meat h, who, when 7 years j old, fell from a house, and suffered for lour ; teen years with an enlargement of the hip j joint that made him a cripple. He w'as car I ried to the Knock church, and a bit of theee- uieiit was lxiund on the hip. While iu the l church praying he liegan to suffer gn it n'ow nv. He was carried to the car. ami on the way home suffered intensely so much so that his friends feared he would die. When met loon iiiiii iioiii uic uss cart in which ih was riling, a lump 'as big as a turnip," as they express it. came out where the cement I was Ik. mill, mid burst. The nain eeaeil. and 1 to-day the young man is cured and walks : without crutches. i "I know of these cases by personal ohsor ; ration, and those are all I do know, in that way. Then' are many other oases that I am ! satisfied are bona tide" cures, hut they come to ine second hand, and jM-rhaps you don't . care for them. 1 saw the shoo of a boy w ho, . when he went to the church, had a Hub foot. ! the toes lciiig turned in toward the other let;. you know. When he wont away bis foot was j as straight as the other one. "Father Cava ' nagh keeps a list of the cured, and it con tains many wonderful cases. You ouht to , go out there and see for yourself." Horn: an l) Cot'NTit Y. T lie other night, soon after a ward mooting hail opened, one of the electors present began edging for the d Kir, as if he meant to leave the place. He was soon stopped by a friend, who said : "Don't leave us now. I want you to hoar what that speaker is saying, il'ar that? He says we must triumph or the country is doomed." "Yes, I know, but I've got to edge along t-owatds home," was the reply. 'Home ! ( ireat heavens, how can you talk of going home until he has finished that, speech '.' There he gees again ! He asks if you want to see grass growing in the streets ! of our cities our fertile farm returned to j the wilderness our families crowding the ' poorhouses until there is no longer room to ; receive another?" "No, I don't knotv as I would, but I guess . I'll sort o work tny way out." "Wait fifteen minutes ten five wait tin- I til he finishes. There it is again. He aks ; whether rou area freeman or a slave ? He wants to know if you have forgotten the pa triotic nrineinles defended hv the blood of your grandires if you have forgotten the sound of liberty bell ?' "I don't know as I have, , but I must g' really I must." I "Ilear that ! Hear that ! ; country will bless yon." Ho says your ' "I can't say as to that," replied the man, as he crowded along, "but I'm dead sure that the old woman will if I don't git home in time to put this codfish to soak for breakfast. "Great guns ! but do you prefer codfish to ' liberty?" exclaimed the other. j "1 don't know as I do, unt I git more of , it " I "And you'd see this country ruined se her go to destruction '!" "I'd bo kinder sorry to see her go down hill," slowly observed the delinipicnt, as he ' reached the'door, "but if you had a wife w ho ' 1 could begin jawing at ten o'clock and not lose a minute until daylight, and then end up with a grand smash of crockerv and 11 fit of 1 i hysterics, you'll kinder stand oil as I do and let this glorious old llepublic squeeze through , some mighty line knot holes."

The rat was game, and as it writhed in its convulsive efforts to escape, bit the big snake severely in the nock just back of the head, until the blood flowed and mixed with its own.

IHik closer and you will see that it is a gaunt, grim wolf, creeping out of the little grove of cotton woods towards a buffalo calf gamboling around its mother. TJaisc your eye a little more and you will see that the prairie beyond is alive with buf falo. Count them. Vou might as well try to count the leaves on a giant maple ! They nre moving toot uy toot as tncy crop the juicy j grass, and living waves rise and fall as the herd slow ly sweep on. Afar out to the right mere specks on the plain are the flankers: brave old buffaloes, which catch a bite of grass and then sniff the air and scan the hor izon for intimation of danger. Tliey are the sentinels of the herd, and right well they can be trusted. The wolf creeps nearer : All the afternoon the great herd has fed in peace, and as it now slowly moves toward the distant river it is all unconscious that danger j Is near. Look you well and watch the wolf, j for you are going to see a sight such as not i one man in ten thousand has ever lehcll. ! Creep, crawl, skulk now behind a knoll, j now drawing himself over the grass, now I rai.-ing his head above a thistle to mark the locality of its victim. It is a lone, shambling, skulking wolf, lame and spiteful and treach erous. oumliiig or ailing, he has been left alone to get on as best lie may, and his green eyes light up w ith fiercer blaze as he draws nearer and nearer his unconscious prey. j There! Xo, he is yet toofaraway. Creep, creep, creep. Now he is twenty feet away, j now fifteen, jiow ten. He hugs the eaith, i ga'.liers his feet under him and he bounds through the air as if shot from a gun. He is roiling the calf over and over on the grass in three seconds after he springs. Now watch I j A cry of pain from the calf a furious bel j low from the mother as she wheels and : charges the wolf a startled movement from j a dozen of the nearest animals, and the rush j iM'gins. The one wolf is magnified into a 1 nunureu, me hundred into a thousand. j Short, sharp Ik-IIows, snorts of alarm, a rush, j an,i flftv st.cn,is after the wolf has wet his fangs with blood that living mass is in mo tion to get away from an unknown terror. The waves rise higher as the confusion spreads. One instant it seems as if 10,1110 solid acres of prairie were moving bodily away again waves rise and fall as the cow ards behind rush upon those in front who wait to sniff the air andVarn the danger. In one minute the alarm runs dow n the herd to the leaders further than the eye can see and the entire herd is going off at a mad gal lop, heads dow n, eyes rolling and no thought but that of escape. If Lake FZrie were to dash itself against a wall the shock wouid lie no greater than the awful ciah with which this mass of rattling hoofs, sharp horns and hairy bodies would me-A it. The clatter of hoofs and rattle of horns would drown ha iioi-ie of a brigade of cavalry galloping over a stone-paved road. 1,'ido out on their trail.

Here, where the herd was fairly off, you might as well hunt for n gold dollar as a blade of grass. You I look for three miles as you look across it. It ; is a trail of dirt and dust and ruts and tur ; rows, whole half an hour ago there was a t oaniet of green grass and smiling llowers. ; The most dreadful cyclone known to man '. could not have left more horrible scars lo t hind. j Miles away, on the banks of the winding, ! growing river, are three white-topped emi grant wagons. A camp-fire blazes up to boil the kettle men, women and children stand altotit, peering over the setting sun at the distant mountains and glad that their jour ney is almost done. Butterflies come and go on lazy wing, the cricket chirps cheerily on the grass and the eagles sailing in the blue evening air have no warning to give. Hark I Is that thunder? Men and women turn iu their tracks as they look in vain for a cloud in the sky. That rumble comes again as they look into each other's faces. It grows louder as women turn pale and men reach for their trusty lilies. The ground trembles, and afar off comes a din whi-ih strikes terror to the heart. "In dians !" they whisper. Xo ! A thousand times bettor for them if savage Pawnees dared ride down where these long-barreled rifles couhl speak a defense of the peaceful camp. "A stampede of buffaloes 1" gasps one of the men as he catches sight of the advance guard under the awful cloud of dust. Rifles are ready for a shot, and the children climb up on the heavy wagon wheels to see the strange procession gallop by. Here they come ! Crack ! crack ! crack ! from three rifle and a shout as each bullet tells. Xext instant a shaggy head, followed ! by a dust-browned body, rushes through the j camp. Then another and another. The men! shout and wave their arms; the women and children turn paler yet. The roar and din shut out every oilier ; sound and the wagons jar and tremble with ; the concussion. Now another shaggy head another half a dozen a score a hundred ; a great living wave which sweeps i'.long ' j with the power of a tornado, followed hy others more fierce and strong, and the camp is blotted off the face of the earth more com pletely than by any power of heaven. Noth ing to be seen no shout to be hoard. Wave followed wave across the spot over the bank into the stream and across, and when the last of the herd had passed the keenest hun- tor can find nothing tin that spot of wood, or iron, or cloth, or bone, or flesh to prove that a dozen men, women and children were there wiped out of existence and reduced to shred and dust.

AN A1LVMH)NF.I PARTY. ion- ! j Wmk histokt I'OK VOl'XC. SIDKH. MEN" TO j A man by the name of liny, in a bloviat 1 lug, bloody shirt harangue at Cleveland, I Ohio, recently, appealed to young men to ; investigate the history of the Republican ! party. The Cleveland Plain J'ealcrthus eoni- ments upon his advice : j "The first thing that the young man will ! stumble upon will be the fact that many of the worthiest " of whom Colonel Hay says 1 their deeds stand out in the record like I burning stars " were Democrats when the war broke out. General Hancock was a 1 Democrat, so was Grant, so was Kdwin M. Stanton, so was MeCloilan, Mead Hooker, Ihiti'T, Sheridan, and in fact more than half the officers of tiie Union army and of the advisers and counselors of t! President. ; The young man in pursuit of information will alsn, it he puisnes his investigation fairly, come upon the fart that the Demo cratic party furnished as many of the rai.k . and file of the Union ormy as" the Republi can party did, and that it furnished as much money. We have further to cali the young man's attention to the fact that the record of the Republican party as a distinct political organization begins at the close of the war ami not at its beginning. The young poiiti- cal student will ascertain that when the war . was ended the Republican party entered ' upon a career of infamy that speedily be came so bad that theillustrious men of whom t Colonel Hay rightfully observes their record "stands out like burning stars," mst of them were obliged to leave the party lecanse of its viienoss. Of the cabinet of Abraham Lincoln, including such men as Seward anil Chase, every one of them except Stanton left Cue Republican party and became Dcnio- 1 crats. Charles Sumner, t was one of those too, was forced to illustrious men, and lit abandon the Republican party on account of its iniquity. So, too, was Horace Greely, and in fact aiuiost all the men whose names shine like " burning stars." But w hen our young man continues his invr stigatio n into the record of the Republican party in the last ten years of its history, he will be ap palled, its pages nre blotted all over with the black story of fraud, corruntion, bribet y, rings, and general iniquity. He will read of the Credit Mobiiier and how corruption en tered into tho Legislature ; how a Re publican Vice President sold himself to a villainous corporation and was swindling tho Govt rn mcnt : how Republican Senator and Repre sentatives in like manner sold themselves for a price : h w corruption ran riot ami scan dals dragged down the reputation of the nation's law-makers into the mud and made our politics a hiss and by-word among all honest men. The administration of Grant, with its offensive record ot rings and favor itism and nepotism, its Leots, its Babcock, its Whisky Ring scandals in which the Re publican party were mixed up. will give the young student food for a good deal of reflec tion. Iet him go over it carefully. Let him contemplate the operations of the District ring, which plundered by tiie million, and then let him reflect that he is called upon to vote for a man who left the army in the midst of a raging war to come home, go into poli ties, go to Washington, get mixed up in the Credit Mohilier affair, become imrtif-jx vr'tiu iit't in the District Ring's plundering and finally aid in stealing the Presidency by a wholesale course of bribery and perjury. We liojie the. young man will take Colonel Hay's advice and look up the record of the Republican party. It is rather an interest ing study and will do the yonng man good. After he" has investigated, we have 110 foal's that he will vote for Mr. Garfield. I The Can-Can Cuazk. There is a limit . beyond which the housewife who was eagerly plunged into the canning and presoi vingsea . son cannot go. There aro only 1,.kh known methods of putting up peaches. It may take her some time to get to the last one, but 1 she'll reach it in time. The latest estimate i places the number of fruit-jars on sale in 1 this country at :mi,ooi,ikH). No housewife can secure more than her proportion of those. After she has asked ht-r husba'nl seventy eight consecutive times to " send up another dozen of those cans," there mnst come a lull. She may then demand her share of the crocks and jars and jelly-tumblers of this great and growing country, but winter is only throe mouths away. By and by there must come an end to this asking for " anoth er twenty pounds of that same kind of sugi.r." The stock on hand iu this country will not allow a;iy family to consume over five thousand pounds in putting up pre serves. Tho woman who goes beyond thtrt must lo so at her own peril. While the aver age husband feels a thriil of exultation as I he realises that plums are played, lie must , not be plunged into despair to learn that peaches w ill go down to eO cents before the ; last of the crop is in, and that pears wore never known to be so plenty. No cellar can hold more than it can. After the jugs and ' jars and cans and pitchers are stacked from floor to joist, the w ife has either get to lay off her big nprcn and quit or else rent space ; from the neighbors, and the chances will be j that they will have none to spare. In two i weeks more she'll hae togive upon peaches 1 and pears. Then she'll begin on tomato pickles and cut.-up, jump to cucumliers, slide off on apple-butter, work up a bushel of quiiioi s, boil down a band of cider and then sit down and give up the unequal strug gle. That is, she'll suddenly lemeiubcr that every can and jar and jug must be lifted up or taken down and opened and healed over, and if perchance she finishes the job befoie spiing the nihil o. pie ee.ison will servo to keep the house stirred up. They were boiu that way and ineu must sutler and endure- A TRACK' STORY RLTOLIt. More than twenty years ago Niag.na v nossed a trag. dy which, while of a hep rending character, was marked by nn a t true heroism seldom equaled in grandc Mr. Charles Aditington. a young man al twenty-three or twenty-four roars .f a. was affianced to MissDe Forrest, both bei residents of Buffalo. One day a happv par: comprifing Mrs. De Forrest, a young daughter, Eva. a Ivautiful chii.l five or si years old, and "Clmrlcy '" Addiiigt'.n, as h' 1 i friends were acusiomed to cal! him, visit" I the Falls. The crossed the bridge to (ioa ! Island, and, while resting under the trees j little Eva strayed away from the gio'.ip, and i approaching the bank of tiie narrow )u j deep and swift stream that rushes betw o -n I Goat Island and the small islands laying tween it and the main American rapids, was amusing herself by easting sticks into the water and watching thetn as tl.ev wer- t 1 whirled swiftly away. Mrs. De Forrest, alarmed for her child's safct", requested Charley Adding, on to go after her and br.ng her back. Charley at once proceeded to the bank, and, thinking to give the little oiie a fright, approached her stealthily fr-.ru tie hind, and, catching her under the arms, hold her over the stream. The st-m!-! ch;M threw up her little arms over her head, and instantly she slipped through young Ad. ling ton's hands and fell into the rapid. The realization of the horrible calniuitj must have come to Addington's brain w i;!i the rapidity of the .lightning's flash, lie saw that his rash act had c.st the child's lif. that onlv one desperate chance of saving her I ' remained that the world was at an end f..r him forever. Tearing off his coat, ho m-h.-.I ! along the bank until he had pa,--ed little j Eva, who was kept afloat by her clothing ; ' ,'!,"n, plunging in ahead of her, he seized the j child and desperately attempted to throw her up on the bank. As he made the cff .rt befell back in the rapids and was whirled over the small fall that intervenes between the American Horse SIkh- Falls. Little Eva struck the top of the bank, but all power had apparently gone from her, and sbe rolled, back into the stream and was hurried to her dreadful fate. The mother and sister stood powerless and paralyzed with horror whii the tragedy, almost instantaneous in iis action, passed before their eyes, leaving its dark cloud hanging over all their future lives. Charley Addington had made a heio's atonement for his thoughtless and reckless act. His father he was an only son was in the habit of visiting the Falls once a v.er-k for years after the tragedy, and he would sit for hours gazing at the spot where his son and little Eva had met their deaths. lie bo came well known at the Falls, ami tht i; were many who behoved that be would -eie lay voluntarily seek the same fate tl ".t his son, in his heroism, had courted. But l is sad pilgrimage had no such ending. .V. F. Ihj-ir. How Boct.s R an fop. Offk k Roggs was as peaceable a man as ever lived. lie was sober, honest, and respected. He had never pounded his wife. Never tuk any interest iu a dogfight. Had never been known to pawn somebody cl-e's watch. And 1.1 r attempted to steal a saw mill. Bongs' char acter was above reproach, lie w as a shining, light in society. All B -ggsville looked up to and honored him. But a change came a fearful, direful change. In an evil hour Boggs was prevailed upon bra few interest ed persons to accept the nomination for con stable of his native village. Alas I Poor Boggs! Little did he understand the deceit, and treachery of this wicked world. His eyes were soon opened, It wcver. In l-'ss than a week after he was nominated the op position had fully and conclusively establish ed the following damaging charges against his character : 1. That he was a froe-lovr and an infidel. 2. That he had fed his nei ;'. bor'.s hens on poisoned corn. :i. That he ha 1 broken his mother-in-law's jaw w ith an iron bootjack. 4. That on one occasion he had given a whole wagon load of green water melons to an orphan asylum. .V That ho had served a term in State prison for h ite stealing. ". That he had set fire to his next neighlnn's barn, merely because he refused to lend him a boo. 7. That because he found a button off his shirt, he tied his wife to the bed post and mielud in three of hi r ribs with the stove poker, s. Thai his chief Sunday amusements were eock fi-hting and card playing. !. That he sold his vote every year regularly to the highest bidder. 10. That he wasn't fit for the place anyhow. These charges, although without the slightest foun dation, were religiously believed by the ma jority of the voters of B..ggsyil!e. And Boggs' political goose w.is co-jked. His chances for being elected were not worth three cents on a dollar. When Boggs passed along the street his neighbors l,Kked at him with suspicion and crossed over on the other side. Boggs was a miserable being. The day of town meetingcamo at last, and Boggs' 1 opponent scooped in the coiistableship by a two-thirds vote. The anti-Boggs party swept , their candidate into office on the tidal wave ' of popularity, and r Boggs was left perch- ed high up on the spike-mounted picket-fence of despair. Boggs will never run for office again, not cvenjtor President, lie says U ia ; too great a. strain on the character. If he can regain the esteem of his neighbors by grub- . bing along in the old way he intends to do it, and leave office-seeking to people of cast iron reputation. Boggs is just coming to his ' senses. Ei.oi'Emknt Fashions. The fashions for gitls who elope now art very plain. Some white drapery, a convenient, window, a long lad.k'r, a dark night, a coach, a minis ter, an.l the house of a friend, and the elope ment is over. If the irate father, armed with a double barreled coal shovel and a town constable, din-s not pursue, the affair is, al though picturesque, not exact!- a successful elopemcr.t. If the father of the bride relents within two days the foolish couple are not happy. If it leaks out that the m.t her of the bride is in the secret, much of the pleasure of. the trip is spoiled. If both the father ami mother of tho bride are in the secret of her going away, and have actually left the lad der near the window, and the fact is found out, the elopement is a failure. In the olden time the eloping bride packed all her por:.- , ble g.iod on herself and wont away liravily laden. Now, as, she is about to return in a day or two in her lady friend's dress, blie goes away quite light. Thk average person speaks about one hun dred an.l twenty v.u.j;j minute.
