AT RANDOM.
Tell me not in mournful numbers,
Life is but an empty dream!
If you eat, say two cucumbers,
Things will be just what they seem.
A French philosopher says a woman
may love or hate, but she can never be
indifferent. Guess he has never seen
the look that comes over a woman's
face when her husband ask9 if there is
such a thing a9 a shirt button in the
house.
Ii has been discovered that Cleve
land while Sheriff of a western New
York county, acted as hansman in two
cases. This probably began Ids reform
career, but as the public is generally
prejudiced against executioners, it may
injure hiui with sensitive people II
he is nominated these early reform epi
sodes will give the cartoonists a grand
chance.
A couple of Vassarjgirla were found
by a professor fencing w ith broomsticks
in a gymnasium. Jle reminded the
youcg girls that such an accomilisb
ment would not aid them in securing
husbauds. "It will help us in keeping
tLem in," repl'td one of the girls.

There are many who despise half the
world; but if there be any who despise
the whole of it it ia because the other
half despise them.
Who is wise? He that learns from
every -one. - Who 'is powerful? He
that governs his passions. "Who Is

Fit. John Porter will have to start
up his printing oftice ng;iin. The cri

"May I trouble you to tell mo what
time it is? ' said a trim old lady at the
hotrl table not long ago to her vis-a
vis." "Certainty," said the gentleman
addressed, taking out his watch; it is
jut 7 o'clock." "Thank you," she said.
"that'a my pill time," and the took one
then and there.
The Democrats claim that they will
be able to herd the Irish vote as usual,
this year. Our impression is that they
will discover themselves in error. The
Irish vote has met and unanimously
decided to do exactly as it pleases.
"If I get two more men the bolt will
number seven. This is not a bolt but a
revolution." George William Curtis.
General Slocuin is the strongest man
the Democrats could nominate. Thur
man cornea next. Cleveland is last.
The Administration canaot be utterly
opposed to the ticket. Secretury Fol
der has ordered the issue of 31,500,000,
in oue aad two dollar bills.
There are a great many reasons why
the Irish like Blaine. They like his
brilliancy and dash. They like his
thorough Americanism. They admire
his ability. The Irish vote will uot
tow the Democratic hulk around in the
rain this time.
More heavy poker-playing in late
years lies gone on in Chamberlain's
old club house than in any other build
ing in Washington. Fortunes were
made and iost there. The place is now
owned by the Young .Men's Christian
Association, boon after the change
was made a well kuown sporting man
dropped in one evening, a trifle mel
lowed by some brandy a friend had
given him to sample. The new occu -pant9
were holding a praise meeting,
and a dozen of them were singiug the
old refrain,
"There is always room for more,
Come in, come in."
lie thought he appreciated the situa
tion, and blandly replied: "No, gentle
men, play out your game. I'll come
in on the next hand." Need it be said
he was from Virginia.
Women deceived by men want to
marry them; it is a kind of revenge as
good as any other.
There is room enough in human life
to crowd almost every art and science
in it. If we pass "no day without a
line' visit no place without the com
pany of a book, we may with ease fill
libraries, or empty them of their con
tents. The more we do, the more we
can do; the more busy we are, the more
leisure we have.
An old street car driver in the West
Division Chicago, had been listening to
two men who had been ridiculing Lo
gan's lack of scholarship until he
boiled over somethin like this:
Prolly John Logan can't talk in er
gram marly manner. Prob'ly he can't;
but let me tell yer of one time he did
talk and it sounded good to every one
that heerd him whether grammarly or
not I dunno. We'd Leeu pelting the
robs afore Atlauta, and they'd pelted
us, until I guess we both got tired I
know we hr.d. My hat had been shot
o3", aad I bo'rrowed another from a
friend of mine who dropped by my
side Pretty soon they got some guns
around on the left and began whip
sawing us. I seen some of our men
flying ten feet in the air, and there
w.snt nothing bat rebs anywhere. I
looked back for a minute to see if there
was a way out, when who'd I see but
John Logan, followed by about ten
thousand blue coats. He didn't have
any hat on, and he was about fifty
yards ahead of the boys, and savs he
to us when he come up. "Fall back
there boys ! Don't fire no more! Close
up and fall back and give us a chance.
We're a coming for 'em
our souls!" Now I suppose that wasn't
grammarly, bat an angel right from
heaven couldn't have sang no sweeter
words to me just then. -- -

The question ''Will the coming man
be happier?" is asked, and an ignorant
exchange says that it depends upon
how he treats his mother-in-law. This
is foolish. It will depend on how Lis
mother-in-law treats him.
said an ugly country school teacher to
a pert young miss who had "sassed"
him. "Oh, you needn't worry," tsho
retorted "I wouldn't kiss you even if
the freckles on your face were cold
dollars.
The democratic papers say that the
party can lose Indiana. Of course it
can. It never failed to lose it yet. If
precedent is worth anything the state
ment can be accepted.
General Logan knows enough ubout
grammar to put the democratic party
in the past tense.
A babe to sell, who'll buy, who'll buy?
I heard a heathen father cry ;
A girl to sell, tOte's young and small.
She'll scarcely cost you aught at all.
A girl to sell, w ho'll buy, who'll buy?
A heard a Christian father cigh ;
Both si leu the earth the same things done.

Old Goodman went to sonic English
opera when be was in Chicago, of the
Alice Oates variety. He came home
a very wrathful man "Don't talk to
me any more about giving woman the
ballot," he roared. "It ever I catch my
wife or daughterplancing iu a necklace
and a pair of slippers, somebody'! have
to read the riot act before the ballot is
half over, I don't care who tries to stop
me." And the Goodman girls havn't
dared to say "woman suffrage" or wear
bangs from that day to thi.
The other morning a woman applied
at the Troy, N. Y, surrogate's office
for letters of administration on her
husband's estate, the estate being a
claim of a few hundred dollars against
the city. "Did your husband leave
any personal property?" asked the sur
rogate lord. "Indeed he did" replied
the widow, "three boys and two girls.''
Forgiveness is the most necessary
and proper work of every man; for,
though, when I do a just thing, or a
charitable or wise act, another man
may do it for me, yet no man can for
give my enemy but myself.
