VERILY, the War Department of the
United States moves in a mysterious
way its wonders to perform. Mrs, P. J
Walsh, of Philadelphia, mother of Pri-
vate W. J. Walsh, of Company D, Sev-
enty-first New York regiment, wrote to
‘the War Department about September
1st, asking for information of her son.
The boy’s father by diligent search
‘found him at Montauk Point, sick and
neglected, and after much trouble se-
cured a furlough for him on September
13th. Three days later, after having

Joserit E. Turorre, of Everett. who
has been nominated to represent the
Twentieth District in the next Congress,
is admirably equipped for the import-
ant duties of a Representative. The
need of the hour is practical statesman-
ship. Mr. Thropp was born and bred
in Pennsylvania, where his long and
successful connection with the iron
business, his thorough and practical
understanding of its many details, to-
gether with a wide range of general in-
formation, high character and enthus-
iastic devotion to his State, render his
election at this time a perfectly fitting
one and secures to his constituents a
champion worthy of the great interests
he will be called upon to represent.
He is a protectionist of the broadest
type. and the Pennsylvania delegation,
by his election, will be greatly strength-
ened upon questions which must be of
supreme interest for many years to
come.— Philadelphia Press.

Pythian Banner.
The election approacheth,and lo! the
ubiquitous candidate wandereth to and
fro and up and down in the land; and
behold his face is pleasant to look upon
and his honeyed words are cheering to
the soul. His breath smelleth like
myrrah and aloes, only a little strong-
er, and the rose of Sharon bloometh
upon his nose. Ile carrieth a bottle of
precious ointment in his pocket, the
smell of whiel: is like the smell of Leb-
anon. He saluteth everybody Ife meet-
eth with, “Peace be unto thee ; my soul
panteth for thee as the hart panteth
for the water brook. My soul cleaveth
unto thee as the tick cleaveth to the
dog’s hide, and nothing can part thee
and me;” and straightway the friend
addressed taketh a sniff of his bottle
and goeth on his way rejoicing. He
goeth into the house of the American
sovereign and kisseth the whole litter
of young bipeds, and saith, “Behold
their like is not to be found from Dan
even unto Beersheba!” He wendeth
his way to the next house and doeth
likewise. He extolleth the virtues of
every man he meeteth to his face, and

goeth into his closet and shutteth the
door when he wisheth to speak evil of |
his neighbor. He loveth everybody ex- |
cept the uncircumcised Philistine that |
seeketh to get the office which he
craveth.
The candidate goeth to the syna-
gogue on the Sabbath day, and sitteth
in his pew the very picture of piety,and
he giveth tithes freely; and when the
night cometh, doth he not go into the |
back door of the saloon and regale the
voters with a fluid elixir that maketh
their faces to shine as the brightness of
and filleth their hearts with
patriotism to overflowing? lle telleth
the people, if they do not hearken unto |
him, the star-spangled banner will trail
the dust, the American eagle, with a |
wild seream will fall from his perch flat
upon his back, and, with his drumsticks
pointing towards the zenith, give up |
the ghost; and then Wall street and the |

The Right Man in the Right Place..
American Economist.
The people of the Twentieth Penn--
sylvaniadistrict are to be congratulated
upon the prospect of being represented
in the Fifty-sixth Congress by so excel-
lent a citizen and so staunch a Protec-
tionist as Hon. Joseph E. Thropp, Sec-
ond Vice President of the American.
In this case
the prospect amounts to a certainty, as,
Mr. Thropp is the regular Republican
nominee in a district with a normal
Republican plurality above 10,000. He
is a fine type of the successful Amer-
ican business man—brainy, bright, vig-
{ orous in mind and body, of sterling in-
| tegrity and high character—the man of
all others best equipped to efliciently
represent the large industrial popula-
tion and the important business inter-
ests of the Twentieth Pennsylvania dis-
For years past Mr. Thropp has
of his section, and his election to Con-
gress by a flattering majority may be
safely counted upon. It willbe a nots
ble instance of the right man in the
right place.

And then just midway in the stream-—-
So far with wetless feet—

That youthful lips should mact?
But as we gained the farther shore,
Her face grew white and red:
“Not thus a knightly man had kissed:
A helpless girl,” she said.
“Ani pouting, like a fawn afright,”
She fled far from my side;
Nor spoke again until we met
