The animal ts nine years old and has been io Detroit since 1891. There is a law in Mississippi against carrying concealed weapons, and there is a judge there who is so folly convinced that this law was passed in earnest that he sends the hip-pocket arsenal citizens to jail for thirty days whenever any of them are brought before him. If all mankind, minns one, were of one opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person than he, if he had the power, wonM be justified in silencing the world.-/. S. MiU Mr. Cnlberson, the Democratic candidate for governor of Texas, made extreme free silver speeches, and his election is in donbt iu a state which two years ago gave 180,000 Democratic majority. This proves conclusively that the people of Texas lie awake at night crying for free silver.-Savannah News. The city council of Jacksonville has repealed the ordinance per? mitting conteste wjth five-ounce gloves, which was adopted last December to permit the Corbett Mitchell milt. Councillor Dr. Lewin, of Berlin, who sprang into the late Emperor William'? carriage and bound up his wound after Nobiling's attempted murder, died in Berlin on Oct. 12th in his T4th year. It is only by labor that thought can be made healthy, and only by thought that labor can be made hap? py.-Ruskin.

Smith, two of the alleged lynchers of the six prisoners near Kerrville, on August 2lst, are on trial at Mem? phis. "I am told," said the caller, "that your husband is engaged in a work of profane history." "Yes," replied the author's wife: "it certainly sounded that way when I heard him correct? ing the proofs " He was a beautiful little dog," said the caller, doing her best to offer sympathy. 4'It most be a real bereavement to have te lose him. Can't-can't yon take his remains to the taxidermist's ?" "I think," said Mrs. Gofrequent, with a fresh burst of tears "we had already paid the taxes on him."-Chicago Tribune. Phil Dwyer won $70,000 on the election of Morton. He gave it out that be was anxious to bet $50,000 on Hill, while be was making no end of bets the other way on the quiet. Lilian Lewis, of Cleopatra fame, is undoubtedly the shrewdest woman that has been down this way in some time. She sets every place which she visits by the ears about the liv? ing pictures and stirs up the whole crowd go to ber show for the pur? pose of being shocked.
