Those democratic rainbow chasers who insisted that there was a good opportunity for us to cap- ture the state legislature have not been heard from since the election. The op- portunity was good indeed, but was so large that the democracy could not embrace it, - A necrNT convert to the Christian Scientist faith, in Okalahomo terntory, was told by the leader of the society that if he possessed faith he could per. form miracles—pick up the most ven. omous and deadly serpents without fear or danger. The other day the convert saw a large rattlesnake and his faith became strong, he picked the rattler up. The latest news in regard to the experi ment is that the new convert lingered but a few days—now his toes are turn. ed towards the dalsies. - When you see a youth who will do any sort of work, no maticr how menial it may be, rather than be idle, you can make up your mind that fellow amounts to something.

When they return to power in March, 1883, they will have to meet | a deficit of a hundred millions, | In other words the Republicans found { a hundred million surplus and will leave { @ hundred million deficit, A prolific cause of this depletion of | the national Treasury hus been the no. | torious pension extravagance of Repub. | lican legislation.
