AT RANDOM.
It is not the best things that is thi
things wh'ch we ta'.l the best that
mak n;ea ; it is not the plea-ant things,
It is not the calm experiences of life.
It is life's rugged experiences, its tern
pests, its trials. The discipline of life
is here good and there etil, here trou
ble aud there joy, here rudeness and
theie smoothness1, one working with
the other, and the alterations of the
one with the other, which necessitate
adaptations and constitute part of that
education which makes a man a man.
Mr. Cleveland has decided that he
will not dony unythinfl. This is wise
It is much be'. '. cr than being proven a
liar.
The most important thing in dress is.
incoutestably the woman who wears
it.
"No," said Cleveland to Hendricks,
When they met the first time, "New
York has not got the cholera, but it
has Tammany." "So," ? aid the Indi
ana statesman dubiously. "In my
state an impression prevails that Tam
many has New York.
It is good discretion not to make
much of any man at the first, because
one cannot hold out that proportion.
A father complaining of the way his
children destroyed their clothing, said:
"When I was a boy, I only had one suit
of clothe? and I had to take care of it.
I was only allowed one paiof shoes in
those days." There was a pause, aud
then a little ch ip spoke up. "I say,
dad, you have a much easier time now
you are living with us."
In order that the human race may
progress, it must have proved lessons
of courage permanently before it. To
attempt, to brave, persist and perse
vere, to be faithful to one's self, to
wrestle with destiny, to hold firm and
withstand such in the example which
people need, ami whicu electrifies mem.
From selfishness men make severer
aws for women than for themselves,
without suspecting that by doing so
thev raise them above themselves.
The New York World opens wide
eyes in wonder that the American peo
ple should object to a hangman fur
resident, after voting in a Jackson, a
Taylor, a Harrison, and a Grant. Think
t over.
It seems to be the growing impres
sion with the Kentucky State press that
Henry Watterson wants Elaine elected
President. Indeed, all through the
South there is a happy feeling toward
Blaine, lie is so easy to get acquaint-
eil with, eo generous to eee in neces-
ity, so fond of his manly enemies, that
when he is elected there will be a won
derful movement and procession from
the South around his inauguration.
They do not forget that his early days
were 6pent in the South teaching school.
Often the virtue of woman must be
be very great, since it has to suffice for
two.
A Philadelphia youth begged hi6 girl
to give him something he could wear
next his hf art. The sensible girl sent
him a reu flannel chest protector.
Grover Cleveland says that
been a consistent democrat for
live years.
he has
twenty
This, of itself unfits him to be Presi
dent of the United States. In that pc
rioutnenioet important questions in
tne history ot tue country have come
up; ou all of them the democratic par
ty has been persist cr.tl v r.cd cousit
eiitly wrong.
A man v. ho h:is been wrong lor a
quarter ;f a ei-ii'riy on every i-u:
relating to tli-' sift ly aud welfare i.f
this goveriuiiMit, i niult- to 1 e at th
head of it.
We owe a a debt to ev ry great heart,
to every tine geuius to tho-e who h-ive
put lil'e and fortune on the ca&t o an
act of justice to those who have re
fined life by elegant pursuits. It is
the fine souls who elevate us, and not
what is called tine society.
The objection to Cleveland that he
once hung two men is said to be an
aristocratic one. Not at all. The pre- j
judice against a public executioner is '
as old as the world. It is plainly a
revolt against the sensibilities. In
England when the regular executioner
was not on hand, and a neck tie party
for Tyburn Hill was ready, it wa3 the
habit to offer a felon a free pardon if
he would aot in the place of the absent
Jack Ketch. There are instances of
men condemned to death who would
not accept life on such terms.
Of course the prejudice docs not ex
ist to such an extent in this country,
bat still it is something' of a relief to
think that Erie county's hangman wi!l
not occupy the White LTouse.
Every man has his chain and clog,
only it is lo-.ispr and lighter to one man
than another, and he is more at ease,
who takes it up, than he'who drags it.
TLe most polished man in Omaha
just now is a merchant, whose wife
undertook to bathe him with balsam
or the rheu matism. After the job was
well done, she looked at the label of
the bottle, and found out that it was
furniture polish that she had' been us
ing.
"What is the color of the lace you
have on?" asked a go-out-between the
acts youth of a young lady at the thea
tre. "It is coffee tinted" she replied.
"Do you thiod it is becoming!" he in
quired. "Well I can't say, but I know
it matches your breath."
That the Dem. National convention
exhibited a spirit of contemptuous dis
regard for the wishes and feelings of
Irish citizens, laid calmly and dispas
sionately before the leading men by
representative Irishmen, who had a
right to speak for their countrymen,
was well illustrated by the expression
of one delegate, heard by many Irish,
"To hell with the Irish." The conven
tion wa3 ruled by a Know Nothing
spirit, and its nomineo must be de
feated if that fell spirit is to be kept
out of the National administration.
Irishmen of spirit have no choice.
Cleveland must be defeated and to do
that effectually Is by voting for James
(J. Blaine for President.
Upon looking at the size of the pro
spective democratic vote in the elec
toral college, one ia reminded of the
remark of the Irishman upon teeing a
very small coflin in the window of an
undertaker, "It's intoirely too small to
b intended lor any livin' cratur."
"Yes, you may come again next Sun
day evening: but" aud she hesitated.
"What is it, darling? Hate I given
you pain?" he asked, as she still re
mained silent, "lou didn't moan to,
I'm sure," 6he responded, "but next
time don't wear a collar with the point
turning outward."
When a young man waika with a girl
as though he is afraid some one would
see him, the girl is his sister. If he
walks so close to her as to nearly crowd
her against tlie fence, she i some one
else's sister.
The necessities of the campaign de
mand that Cleveland should be made
out to be a great man. And still there
are people who say there are no obsta
cles in politics.
Tlie Democrats builded better than
they knew when they failed to say any
thing against polygamy in their plat
form. Mr. Cleveland might have taken
it as a personal allusion.
Mrs. Absalom Wright, of Peoria, has
presented her husband with triplets:
and now the poor man would like to
know what crank "would ntiier be
Wright than PreMdcnt."
The bakiog powder t st as applied to
the Democratic Presidential ticket
"Place it top d'wn uu a hot stove, re
move the lid and uneU" loses none
of its v"irt!i s by !a;sp of time.
AYLe;i the works of th wise are free
from faults, the fool ata:ka the au
thor's person.
The most censurious are generally
the least judicious, who, having noth-
mg to recommend inemseives, wui oe
finding fault with others. No man
envies the merit of another, who has
enough of his own.
Good temper is like a sunny day ; it
iheds its brightness everywhere.
The man who can govern a woman,
can govern a nation.
BRILLIANT CLEVELAND.
If any one ever doubted the total
uu fitness of Mr. Grover Cleveland for
the great office of President of these
United States, let him read Gen. King's
explanation of Mr. Cleveland's connec
tion w ith tiie Ilalpin scandal. From
the General's statement (and he is an
enthusiastic apologist of the democrat
ic nominee) Cleveland was Intimate
with the "Widdy" being the putative
father of the illegitimate offspring for
mally admited it to be his child, in or
der to shield a friend of his who was a
married man.
One of the beautiful features of this
story is the fact that this friend (.?) is
dead, and his mouth is forever sealed
to protest against the cowardly slan
der. Another, and the mo3t beautiful of
9 v
all. is the spectacle of a man like Mr
Cleveland fathering other men's iPe-
eitimate offspring: such exhibitions of
the damphool are rather scarce in this
day and age.
Certainly, Cleveland is a very smart ?
man.
