The dog days are upou us,
The hottest of the year;
And candidates are looming up,
All o'er the district here.
Some are run by "bosses"-Some

And will not yield their manhood, j
Nor their politics eschew.
Take warning all ye bosses,
And list to what we say;
Or at our next election,
The deuce may be to pay.

Nr.w Gold- Certificates.? j
Acting Secretary of the Treasury, I
French, on the 10th iust., received a
telegram from Secretary Folger, who
is in New York, instructing him to
hasten the issue of gold certificates in
accordance with the provisions of the
national hank Act, which directs the
Secretary of the Treasury to receive
deposits of g'ld coin in sums not less
than t wenty doliars, and to issue certificates
therefor. There has already
been a large deinaud for these certificates.
They will be ready for issue
in a few days. The Assistant Treasurer
at New York states that all the
banks will probably make lar^e and
rapid ofo-rings of their gold for the
new certificates.
How Sho Got Even.
They toil a story of a would bo
fituny broker, who Just season adopted
a most fiendish method of getting
even with one of the chronic tiirts
who arc said to make tlie piazzas
here lively later in the season. He
I obtained half a doz.-u energetic crabs
from the fishing beach, and watching
for an opportunity when no one was

(.uttered a bloodcurdling shriek, ami
was helped up the ladder with a crab
hanging on to her pink little too.
She had several consecutive epileptic
fits while the marine corn doctor was
being removed. The Mephistophelean
glee of the broker, however, gave
him away, and for fear of some counter-trick
he decided to bathe early in
the morning thereafter. A few d iys
after that the bath house keeper was
startled by some terrific yells, and
hastily entering the tank-house he 1 oheld
the broker llcuuidering out with
a big, jugged-toothed spring rut-trap
clenched on his heel.
"Who the deuce put this horrible
thing in the water?" roared the
broker.
"I did, sir." sweetly replied the
crabbed young lady aforementioned,
stepping out of a bath-room. "I
put it there to catch those horrid
ctabs, you know."
The broker went home on a crutch.

W ben tbe use of alcoholic liquors

b:e power which tbe appetite for intoxicuuts
has over its slaves is vividly
illustrated in the following incident:
One wintry afternoon a trembling
man entered a tavern in new Hanipspiro
carrying a small package of
clothing. Going to the bar he said:
"Laudlord, I am burning. Give
me a good glass of gin."
The landlord pointed to :t lino of i
chalk marks and said:
"Johil, you see the old score?not
another drop until that is paid."
The poor wretch glared fiercely at
the man behind the bar.
"Landlord, von don't mean that.
You have got my farm, you have go!
tnv tools. All that I have got in this
world is in this little bundle of clothes.
Please, landlord, give me just one
glass of gin for them."
"I don't want your old clothes,"
calmly answered the man. "Pay tinold
score first."
The drunkard staggered back, and
a gentleman near said:
"What will vou give me for enough
to buy two glasses o/ gin ? I .see you
have a good pair of h.?i> cu your
feet. Will yon gi ? ajc- yo;i> boots.,
for ten cents ^
The miserable w :-.t. it

"Stranger, if I give you the boots
I must go out in the snow barefooted.
If I give yon the bo;its I shall I'm ? ato
death; if ! don't give them to yon
I shall burn to death. Stranger, it is
harder to burn to death than to freeze
to death: give me the gin ami you
may have the boots."
He sat down and began to draw
them off. The gentleman did not,
however, intend to take them, but he
was testing the strength of the terrible
appetite. Others were looking on
and they said the man should have
his gin. They supplied him liberally,
and he drank all he could and took
ail the rest away. When night came
he drank the last drop, and lie went

What "Dead Ducn'k" Means.?
"Dead iruuk" is described by savants
of the Paris Biological society
to be a condition in which there is a
proportion of one part of alcohol to
195 parts of blood in the circulation, j
Should the proportion ever come to
ho oue part of alcohol to 10U of hlooil,
?loath would ensue. This might happen,
and, in fact, has happened repeatedly
where a very large quantity
of ucoholie liquor is swallowed at one
time and quickly. In ordinary drinking
consciosness is lost, and with it
the power to drink more before the
proportion of alcohol i^i the circulation
becotnes fatal.

1A Sad Story of a Wrecked Life.
The most thrilling and sadly suggestive
temperance lecture i.s the
sight of a once noble, talented mau,
. left in ruius by intoxicating drink.
A Washington paper tells of a ragged
beggar, well kuown in the streets of
that city, who once held an important
command in the army, having been
promoted for personal bravery, from
a cavalry Lieutenant to nearly the
highest rank in military service. Ono
night, rot long ago, when he had
Iwc" -sful i:i beggii.L' ic-iu-.v
- - i . i i-.:.. -
to snte tns craving, auu wuno iviog
helplessly drunk in the rear part of a
Third Street saloon, some men
thought to play a joke on him by
stealing his shirt, and proceeded to
strip him.
Underneath his chirt, and suspended
by a string from his neck, was a
small canvas bag, which the men
opened and found it contained his
commission as Ike vet Major General,
two congratulatory letters- -one from
(len. (irant and one from President
Lincoln? a photograph of a little girl,
and a curl of hair?a "chestnut
shadow" that doubtless one day crept
over the brow of some loved one.
When these tilings were discovered,
; even the li.-rif-driinken men who
found*them felt *a ^ respect, for tho
mau's former greatness, and pity f<>r
his fallen condition, and quietly
returned the bag and its contents to
, where they found them, and replaced
the sleeper's clothes upon him.
When a reporter tried to interview
tbo man, and endeavored to learn
something of his life iu the past few
years, be declined to eommuuicate
anything.
Ho cried like a child when told
how his right named and former
, position were ascertained, and, with
tears trickling down his cheeks, said:
' For God's sake, sir, don't publish
(. dei/nidation, ?r my name, at least,
if you are determined to say something
about it, It is enough that I
know myself how low I have become.
Will you promise that much? It
will do no good, but will do my
friends a great deal of harm, as, unfortunately,
they think I died iu South
America, where I went at the close of
the war."
Intemperance and the gamingtable,
he said, had wrought his ruin.
