STOKMY .JoiiDAX , " the famous rinse
painter of Ottuinwa , it is saiil. will
soon go to Chicago ami open , up a
studio there. Iowa seems to have too
chilly an atmosphere for .Mr. .Ionian's
.esthetic temperament.
TIIK man who can look upon the
magnificent array at the state fair
grounds and not feel his heart j-well
with honest and manly pride , is a stick
whom it were fluttering elevation to
drive into the gretind and hitch a mule
to. Lincoln Democrat.
' TKMPKKANCK , " said the great and
wise and good Benjamin Franklin , a
hundred years ago , "puts wood on-the
fire , meat in the barrel , flour in the
tub , monoin the purse , credit in the
countiy , clothes on the bairns , intelli
gence in the brain , and spirit in the
constitution. ' "
JAMKS ( I. BLAI.XK'S youngest son. a
lad ] of eighteen , was married the other
day to a girl not too old to be spanked
and sent to bed. The Democrat is
minded to recall a suggestion from its
fa\oiite work to the effect that the eat
ing of sour grapes by the father sets
the children's teeth on edge. Lincoln
Democrat.
TllK attempts of some of the demo
cratic leaders to twist the Maine elec
tion t in Mine way so as to make "em
feel that they had got something for
the monoy they lavished on St. John
and the other prohibition stumper ? , are
somewhat ludicrous. The total vote is
reported at (50.6 ( : $ ; " ) for the Republican
candidate i'or governor and fio.251 for
the democratic candidate
, givinir a
plurality of 1,359. At the last state
election not held in a presidential year ,
which was in 1852 , the republicans
polled ( JD.514 votes and the democrats
fiO.tOO. If that is a democratic gain it
is perfectly satisfactory to the republi
cans of Maine , and they will pray for
more of the same .sort. The prohibi
tion vote was a little over . ' 5.000.
Journal.
Do not be afraid of a little fun at
home , good people. Do not shut , up
\our house , lest the sun should fade
your carpet1and your hearts , lest a
laugh .should shako ! O\MI a few of the
musty old cobwebs thut are hanging
thoio. Young people must have fun
and lulaxation Miinewhere. If they do
not find it at their own hearth-tones
they will seek it at other and less prof
itable places. Therefore , let the fire
burn brightly at night in the winter ,
and let the doors and windows be
cheerfully thrown open in summer ,
and make the homestead delightful
with all tlunc little art.parent so well
understand. Half ait hour of merri
ment within doors , and merriment of a
home blots out the remembrance of
ms ny a core and annoyance during the
day and the best safeguard they can
take with them into the world , i the
un een influences of the bright little
sanctum. Kxchance.
