Humorous fjepartmeuf. A Woman's Ingenuity.?A man was once walking along one road and a woman along another. The roads finally united; the man and woman reaching the junction at the same time, walked on from there together. The man was carrying a large iron kettle on his back; in one band he held the legs of a live chicken, in the other a cane, and ho was leading a goat. Just as they were coming to deep, dark ravine the woman said to the man : "I'm afraid to go through that ravine with you; it is a lonely place and you might overpower me and kiss me by force." "If you were afraid of that," said the man, "you shouldn't have walked with me at all. How can I possibly overcome you and l',"a fnr-na nihon T have this orrpflt AlOO VUU IJJ IVAW I7UVU A MM*W liM.W iron Kettle on ray shoulders, a cane in one hand, a live chicken in the other, and am leading this goat? I might as well be tied hand and foot?" "Yes," replied the woman, "but if you should stick your cane in the ground and tie the goat to it, and turn this kettle bottom side up and put the chicken into it, then you might wickedly kiss me in spite of my resistance." "Success to thy ingenuity, O woman!" said the rejoicing man to himself. "I should never have thought of such expedients." 'And when he came to the ravine he stuck his cane in the ground and tied his goat to it, gave the chicken to the woman, saying: "Hold it while I cut some grass for the goat;" and then, lowering the kettle from his shoulders, imprisoned the chicken under it, and Wjakely kissed the woman, as she was afrmd he would. & A Fatal MisTAKE.-Mrs. Jacob S?, an estimable woman living in a small town in the West, discovered early in her matrimonial career that she had not been fortunate in her choice of her husband, for Jacob proved to be excessively lazy and shiftless, doing almost nothing for the support of his wife and the round-faced * little children. Several years after her marriage Mrs. S neara 01 iticitppiuavuiug maiuugu v. Jennie Krale, the daughter of a neighbor, and meeting the girl one day she said: "Veil, Shennie, I hear you vhas thinking about getting married. Vas dot so ?" The girl, with becoming blushes, admitted the truth of the rumor. "Veil, Shennie," said Mrs. S "It vould be veil for you to dink dwice pefore you marrys anypody." "Did you think twice about it when you were married?" asked Jennie, rather 4 representing the intimation that she had not made a wise choice. "Veil, yes, I did," replied Mrs. S , after some little hesitation. "I did dink dwice, Shennie; but I made von grade meestake, von grade meestake, Shennie. I did not dink der second time until after I vas married."?[Detroit Free Press. Weary of High Art.?It's getting very hard for a plain man of ordinary, every day, practical tastes to get on in the world now. When he comes to the city and expects to see the sights he is taken to picture galleries and theatres with strong French plays in progress and to bric-a-brac exhibitions. A simple, honest country man was taken to a picture gallery and a violent and persistent effort made to entertain him with a subject he did not care about.- They showed him around the gallery, they expatiated on the great pictures, the superb art, and all that sort of thing. He said nothing until he reached a window which looked out on the street. Then, as a horse car went rattling by, he turned wearily to his artistic friend and said: "What kind of axle grease do they use in this town ?"?[San Fransisco Chronicle. Sunday-School Humor.?I do not believe press specimens of Sunday-school humor are at all exaggerated. Whatever the reason may be, possibly ignorance of the meaningof words, or timidity, the juvenile idea of the Bible is often droll enough. "My family is older than yours," said a youth called Meyer to a comrade. "How do you know?" was the reply. "Well, my family is mentioned in the Bible?the Jerry Meyers and the Neher Meyers." " Where did God place Adam and Eve ?" asked a teacher. "In the Garden of Even ^ ?a if rtmoittoh frnm a OQ Mount DII1UI," WHS tlic ananti nuiu ? youthful miss who certainly hoped to get the prize,?[Jewish Messenger. Unpleasant Reflections.?Jones had just been getting married. As they were leaving the church he began to cry. "Whatever can be the matter with ypp, Samuel?" asked the bride anxiously. ' "My darling," exclaimed Jones, be: tween his sobs, "you behold in me the wretched victim of superstitions." "A victim ?" "Yes, my life; you must know that I was once so foolish as to have my fortune told by a gypsy. The old hag told me that I should marry a second time, and oh ! darling, it wrings my heart to think of losing you."?[Judge. A Model of a Minister's Wife.? Deacon Whim?Well, ray dear, do you think we ought to give the Rev. Mr. Newcomer a call? Mrs. Whim?By all means. He is just the man we want. "I am surprised to hear you say that. His trial sermon was fearfully dull." "Yes, I know, but did you notice his wife? She wore the cheapest kind of a dress and a bonnet three years old, if a day. Such a model of a minister's wife can't be found often."?[Omaha World. Ten Hearts That Beat as One.? Mormon Youth?Mr. Elder, I am in love with your daughters. Mr. Elder?Which ones ? 0 Mormon Youth?Misses Amy, Claribel, Mamie, Jennie, Emma, Polly, Bridget, Ann and Josephine. Mr. Elder?Take them, my boy; take them and try to make some of them happy.?[Town Topics. The Answers Bothered Him.? Friend?How did you pass your civil service examination ? Applicant?To tell the truth, I didn't get a very good mark. I don't know, but I expect I've slipped up. "The questions bothered you, didn't they ?" "Not a bit. It was the answers that worried me"?[Texas Siftings. Like Cures Like.?Bobby had made himself sick by surreptitiously eating too many jam tarts. "Now, Bobby," coaxed his mother, "if you will take this medicine like a little man you can have almost anything you like." "Can I have some more jam tarts, ma?" ?[New York Sun. Couldn't be a Lord.?"Who is that distinguished looking man across the street?" "I don't know his name, but he's an Englishman." "A lord, I wonder ?" "I don't think so; I saw him getting change for $5 a while ago."?[Lincoln Journal. A Trifle off in Accent.?Madam (to French cook applying for a place)? Your accent, Marie, is not strictly Parisan.

Texas has 4,500,000 sheep and her entire delegation in Congress?11 in all?voted for the fr^e wool tariff bill. Pennsylvania has 950,000 sheep, and cast 20 votes against the free wool tariff and 6 in favor of it. Michigan has 2,100,000 sheep, and cast 5 votes for the free wool tariff and 6 against it. Rhode Island has 20,000 sheep, and cast her solid vote of 2 against a free wool tariff. Minnesota has 300,000 sheep, and cast 4 votes, including one Republican, for a free wool tariff and 1 against it. Missouri has 1,100,000 sheep, and cast 12 votes for a free wool tariff and 2 against it. tn Lrto i!A AHA oKnnn onrl oncf lunssauuuscibc nao uujWv ouwvpi MUM viwv 8 votes against a free wool tariff and 4 in favor of it. Georgia has 500,000 sheep, and cast a solid vote of 10 in favor of a free wool tariff. Maine has 500,000 sheep, and cast a solid vote of 4 against a free wool tariff. North Carolina has 500,000 sheep, and cast 7 votes for a free wool tariff and 2 against it. New Hampshire has 200,000 sheep, and cast a solid vote of 2 against a free wool tariff. Tennessee has 500,000 sheep, and cast 8 votes for a free wool tariff and 2 against it. Indiana has 1,000,000 sheep, and cast 6 votes for a free wool tariff and 7 against it. . V Illinois has 800,000 sheep, and cast 14 votes against a free wool tariff and 6 in its favor. Arkansas has 220,000 sheep, and cast d solid vote of 5 in favor of a free wool tariff. New Jersey has 100,000 sheep, and cast 5 votes against a free wool tariff and 2 in its favor. Alabama has 300,000 sheep, and cast a solid vote of 8 in favor of a free wool tariff. These facts, exhibited by the vote on the new tariff bill in the House, certainly show that the demand for taxed wool does not come from the wool growers, but from partisan demands for taxes on the necessaries of life to sustain monopoly in the control of taxation upon consumers.?[Philadelphia Times. THE STATTCANVASS. If such a farce as that announced by the State Executive Committee can be designated by that title, the canvass will begin at Hodges', Abbeville county, on the 20th instant, and end at Blackville on the 6th of August. The bosses in the May convention in Columbia ordered that the "primary canvass" for State officers should close "one month" before the meeting of the convention which is to nominate a State ticket. They knew well enough that the agricultural interest of the country would not admit of the opening of the canvass earlier than the 15th or 20th of July, and that the second convention must meet early in September. Why could not this canvass have continued up to the time of the meetinsr of the State Conven fcion ? Where was any imperative necessity that such canvass should close a month before that time ? The whole thing is an outrage and an insult. "How not to do it" seems to have been the tactics of the managers of this business. While pretending to give to the Democracy of the State, the men who bear the burden of government, the opportunities and advantages of a State canvass in reality, they have palmed off on the people a cheat and a humbug. Seven places only, in the thirtv-four counties of the State, are designated at which candidates for the highest offices in the State are to meet the voters and discuss questions of the deepest concern to every citizen ; and this arrangement is called a "State cauvass!" Out upon such trickery. Under the arrangement published, Democrats of a portion of the Fifth District 1 must trudge from the Pee Dee to Chester, and some of those of the Fourth District go on a pilgrimage from Fairfield to Greenville, to enjoy the blessings of this "preliminary." If anybody is looking for a piece of firstclass political jugglery, let him behold the plan of this so-called "State canvass." After the convention, the nominees will be sent, of course, all over the State. Nobody will feel-any interest in that sort of proceeding. Behold, now, between this and the 6th of September, is the accepted time.?[Chester Reporter. The Civil Service.?In accordance with the provisions of the Civil Service law the President on Monday transmitted to Congress the fourth annual report of the Civil Service Commission. In this message he comments upon the work of the Commission covering last year, and while there are many obstacles in the way which prevent a perfection of the law, yet there is still good cause for congratulation. When President Cleveland assumed control of the government nearly four years ago he was pledged to a correction of the civil service, and his record is sufficient evidence that he has constantly aimed at the fulfillment of this pledge. With his party divided on this important question and the great majority of them employes of a different political faith, he had no easy task before him. With a host of office-seekers on one hand and a civil service law on the other he has no pleasant duty. Yet his actions on all occasions have proved his faith to his party and his /la,mt,nn f/\ tViQ low nf tha lanH wlthniich ugvuuvu WV bliv ***** HIV ?i*MMf against the sanction of many of his party friends. He has fully appreciated the many difficulties under which he labored, and while thousands of Republican employes have been politically decapitated he has the courage and will power in the face of a great political campaign to announce that the executive branches have been and were still greatly annoyed and irritated by the disloyalty to the service and the insolence of the employes who remain as Republican relics in the responsible positions of the government, and in a manner defeat the very object which it was intended the law should reach. It is evident from his manifesto that there is still reason for his cry to turn ' the rascals out, and with four more years of weeding the officials of the govern- . ment will be filled by men whose highest aim will be to make our governmental institutions the envy of our sister republics. ?[Winnsboro News. Trade and Taxes.?In 18SG we ex- . ported nearly 34 per cent, of our wheat crop and every year we send out of the country farm products worth over five ! hundred millions of dollars. In exchange we must take the products of foreign countries and all duties increase the cost ( of those products and give us smaller value in exchange for our grain. Where j home industries are encouraged and pro- i tected this is more than made up, but every cent of unnecessary protection is I taken from the pockets of the man who ' has grain to sell and crammed into the 1 overflowing treasury of the nation, to j! swell the vast hoard that must tempt men i; to extravagant and reckless expenditure, '! if it does not lead to dishonesty and open fraud. If the remarkable programme now formed by the Republican party should be followed, and the tariff increased to the ! further checking and final choking of all 1 importation. Europe could not take our surplus farm products, and depression in j agriculture would sound the death knell of j industrial enterprise. Protection is a very good thing, but we may have too much of j it already. No calm thinker will be 1 alarmed by the cry that the Democracy ' onntemDlates suicide bva sudden rush to i | the extreme free-trade, and the brutal i murder of protected industries. Their prosperity is a matter of most vital con- j cern to all Americans, and this fear is as ! senseless as would be the refusal of a cap-1, tain to trust a sentry with a gun lest he , should shoot himself.?[Lancaster (Pa.) i Intelligencer. Make Your Choice.?When you buy , j a coat, a hat, a pair of socks, dishes for , your table, knives and forks, window i glass, salt, lumber, nails, hardware of any kind, tools, implements of husbandry, or | any other of the ten thousand manufac1 tured articles that you must have, or any I article that has been transported on steel rails, you pay a heavy , tax, a small part of which goes into the government treasury while the rest goes into the pockets of men who grow rich by taxing all the rest of the people. If you are unwise enough to drink whiskey you pay a tax too, but every cent of it goes to support the government. The revenues of the government are greater than are needed. The President and his party propose to reduce or remove those taxes which you pay partly to the Government and partly to a favored class of rich men on the com mon neccessanes 01 me, su umt yuui caiuings may go further, your family may live better and you may put more money away for a time of need. The Rebublican party until recenty proposed the same thing. Now it proposes instead to make the taxes on the common necessaries of life still higher, giving the rich monopolist a still larger proportion of what you pay, and if that doesn't cut down the government's revenues enough, to abolish the tax on whisky. Which of these two shall be the policy of the government? That is the question which you will help to decide by your vote in November. On which side will you cast your ballot??[N. Y. Commercial Advertiser. The Plan of Campaign.?Col. Calvin S. Brice, Chairman of the Democratic National Committee, has outlined the Democratic plan of campaign. He says: "The coming struggle will be a campaign of intellect. I believe that the people of this country are tired of personalities, and I^will be the first one to prevent any personal abuse from our side during the canvass. The party that tries to gain, votes by circulating lies about its opponent will certainly be defeated. There are great enough issues this year to engross the attention of all Democrats and Republicans. We have the tariff reduction question and seyeral others. In educating the masses of the people on these questions we will be kept fully employed, without going into disgusting personalities. I think that this campaign will be of great benefit to the voters ot this country, no matter who may be elected, because the distribution of a large number of documents relating to economic questions, which we will send out, will have an educational effect which will be felt for many years. We intend to.send docu* ments all over the country. We will rely on the good sense of the people for success. While showing up the weak points in the political records of the Republican candidates, we will leave their private lives alone." HI 'akin1* powder Absolutely Pure. This powder never varies.

To the man who has tried every other remedy for Blood Poisons, we commend the following experience of a well-known woman : SHE HAD TRIED EVERYTHING ELSE. Clover Bottom, Sullivan county, Tcnn., June 18, 1887?Blood Balm Co., Atlanta, Ga.: Sir:?I have been thinking of writing to you some time to let you know of the wonderful cure your B. B. B. has effected on myself nnd daughter. She. a girl of 10 year?, was taken with a very sore leg below the knee. I called on the very best doctors that the country could afford, and they tended on her for four years to no purpose. Her leg got worse every year. I used about 30 bottles of other medicines to no purpose. The doctors said the only remedy left was amputation. That we all was opposed to. I was in Knoxvllle the 8th of January, 1886, and while buying a hill of drugs called for a good blood purifier, and Messrs. Sanford, Chainberland & Co. recommended the B. B. B. I purchased one-half dozen bottles, and to my utter sur- I prise, after using three or fonr bottles, my girl's leg was j entirely healed. I also had a very ugly running sore on the calf of my leg and one bottle cured it, after having tried all other remedies. 1 wish you much success, and do hope that all suffering humanity may hear and believe In the true blond purifier. I have tried three or four other purifiers, but the B. B. B. is the only one that ever did did me or mine any good. You can use my name If you wish. 1 am well known in this nnd Washington county, also all over Virginia. II. S EI.hom. BLOOD TAINT PROM BIRTH. Boonville, I.nd., January 25, 1887.

They said I wonld lose my lower limbs. I could not stand in my class to recite my lessons, and eleven bottles of your Balm cured me sound and well. You can use my name as you see fit. In my ease, there were knots on my shinbones as large ns a hen's egg. Yours, Mirtlf. M. Tanner. A BOOK OF WONDERS, Filled witii the most wonderful and startling proof ever before known sent free.
