From all over tlie State comes reports that the negroes are solid for Tillman. Must we sit by inactive while he arrays class against class ? It is not at all remarkable that people are hard on Tillman; he could not expect anything more. It is amusing, to say the least, that Tillman abuses every one who does not agree with him, hut, as soon as he is at tacked for it, he whimpers, “I’m the most abused man in the State,” and his followers whine, “You are too hard on him.” They are indeed a sensitive set The estimate of the appropriation ..t luiorde iHHvanary to defray the expenses of the i 1 • United States government reaches I The subscriber just cited, is in a lamentable predicament Gen.

We do not wonder therefore, that his fol lowers say they would support any other nominee. Farmer-Loving Lawyers. Col. Robert Aldrich, of Barn well, has declared himself in favor of Tillman.

Many Voters. Aborting a Felon. He who discovers a sure means of aborting a felon will make his name immortal. None need be told that it is a most painful affection, ar.d one not wholly devoid of danger to life. New methods of treatment to cut them short are constantly being devised, and as far as the writer knows, none absolutely certain in all cases has as yet been found. Tlie trouble is that all felons are not near alike. In some deeper tissues are involved than in others, and a remedy which might act well in one case wouldprovo absolutely useless in another. The latest additions to the list of abortive methods is recom mended by a physician of Algiers. He says it is sufficient to moisten slightly around it with some water, and to pass over this surface a stick of nitrate of silver. A few hours after ward the skin becomes black, all pain disappears and the inflammation is ar rested. The blackened epidermis re ceives no dressing, and in six days the black color disappears.

A Scranton man owned a lank bay burse that stood nonrly^iineteen bands high. The long legged animal devoured great quantities of food, and after the Scranton man had made several un successful efforts to sell him or trade him off, he got a Waverly farmer to winter tho horso at a stated price. In the course of six weeks the voracious horse had devoured a whole stack of hay, and the Waverly man became franlic. Ho straightway came to Scran ton aud told the owner of the horse that the greedy beast would ruin him finan cially before spring, and he begged tlie man to take the horso away at once, agreeing to take $5 a ton for all the hay the horse liad eaten and say no more about it. There was a good deal of the milk of human kindness in the owner of the horse, and ho made the discouraged farmer fee! happy by removing the horse the next day. The bay nag was an elephant on the i Scranton man's hands for a while, but eventually he traded it off for a pair of mare mules that he didn't know any thing about. One of the mules proved 1 to lie a very gentle and docile creature, while the other soon convinced her owner that she had lieen foaled and raised right in the renter of the village of Kickervillo, as lie expressed it. The man quickly concluded that it wouldn't do to keep the mules together, and so he sold the gentle mule for $175. The bad mule, whoso name was Jen, was as big an elephant on his hands us the tail horse had been, and how to dispose of her honorably racked his brain for month*, he said. Jen was sleek and handsome, but she would kick everything to pieces that was bitched to her. In tho stall she was as gcntle>us a kitten until some one undertook to throw a harness over her back. Then her feet flew, and the har ness and the man who tried to put it on lier didn't stay there long. Jen wouldn't let any one ride her, either. Several smart young ’non tried to get on her back in the stall, but Jen's hind feet flew so fast and furiously, and her rump bobbed up at such a rapid rate, that the young men were glad to go to another part of the stable and reflect for a while. Along in the summer an unusually nc tivo young chap offered to bet Jen's owner that he could ride tho mulo live blocks on one of the business avenues. “I'll bet you $. r i you can't,” tho mau told the spry fellow, and the money was put up at once. All that the young man wanted on Jen when ho rode her was a blind bridle and a surcingle, and pretty soon Jen was led out on the Greet in tight of a crowd that didn't get very near her bools. The athletic chap seized the bridle reins in his left hand, grasped tho surcingle on Jen's back with bis right, aud spoke kindly to the mule. Jen was standing still then, but the expression in her moving ears, her owner said, told him as plainly as words that the old Harry would soon be to j«y. With a spring the young man leaped to Jen's back, and at tlie same instant Jen's bind legs began to play like drum sticks, while her head went down, and the ath lete was astride of her neck. Between kicks Jen whirled around a dozen times within a circle of twenty feet, and then made a dash for the open door of a gro cery, in front of which a low awning extended over the sidewalk. Her would be rider saw his danger, and grabbed the eaves of the awning with both hands, and Jen kited into the grocery and be gan to eat apples out of a barrel. He was the List ]>ersou who tried to ride her. In the fall Jen met a tragic fate on the Delaware r.ud Hudson canal, just below Honesdale. The man who put her on tho canal knew all about her habits, aud had agreed to pay $150 for her if he could make her work. He hitched her behind three other mules, aud in going less than half a mile Jen threw herself into the canal seventeen times. That exasperated her driver to the highest pitch. Tho butt of his whip was loaded with lead, and as Jen lay kicking on the ground, he hit her with the loaded butt, crushed her skull and killed her. A wealthy coal mine operator in tlie Lackawanna valley owned a 0-year-old Holstein bull that was cross and vicious. Generally the bull was tied with a rope in a yard by himself, but occasionally lie was allowed to ruu loose in a yard with a lot of idle mine mule#. The two yards joined, and one day four or five of the mules got in the yard where tlie bull was tied up and Vegan to act mischievously around him. The barn keeper saw one of them nip tlie bull on the flank and cut up other playful capers. The bull didnA like to be played with, but one mule in particular seemed to take delight in teas ing him. After a while the old Lull got bellowing mad, and tho barn keeper drove tlie mules out and put up. the burs. A few days after that the boll was let loose in the mule yard. He began to nose around a manure heaps apparently as contented as could lie, while several ot tho mules nibbled straw on either side of him. At his right stood the mule that had teased him a few days before. The barn man was watching them. All at once, without a bit of warning, tho bull made a vicious lunge at the mule on his right, and thrust one of his horns deep into its left side. Tlie mule died in no time, and when they cut it open they found that the bull's horn had pierced the center of its bean. After that the bull tried to kill two men, and lie got to lie so dangerous tliat the owner hud him shot.—Scranton (Pa,) Letter in New York Sun.
