The All Absorbing Question Among Lackawanna Republicans. Wo got a dinner of broad suid choose (vory high) at a roadside house and glad to have that, only no meat of any kind, but excellent good wine, with dried figs and walnuts, which is the natural food of this country, where 0110 may go a week without touching flesh and yet fool as strong ami hearty at tho end, and hero, very merry, Jack in his pertinacious, stubborn spirit declaring ho would drink his wine in the custom of the country or none at all, and so squirting it all over his face, down his new clothes and everywhere bnt into his mouth bofore ho could conio to do it like Don Sanchez, but, getting into tho trick of it, ho so mighty proud of his achievement that ho must drink pot after pot until ho got as drunk as any lord. So after that, finding a retired plrfro—•it being midday and prodigious hot, though only now in mid April—wo lay down under tho orange trees and slept a long hour, to our great refreshment. Dawson, 011 waking, remembered nothing of his being drunk, and being not a penny the worse for it. And soon another long stretch through sweetj country, with li«re and there a glimpse of tho Mediterranean in the distance of a surprising blueness, before wo reached another town, and that on tho top of a high bill. But it seems that all the towns in these parts (save those armed with fortresses) are thus built fiDr security against tho pirates, who ravage tho seaboard of this continent incessantly from end to end, and for this reason the roads leading up to tho town are made very narrow, tortuous and difficult, with watch towers in places, and many points whore a few armed men lving in ambush could overwhelm an enemy ten tin es as strong. The towns themselves are fortified with gates, the streets extremely narrow and crooked, and the houses massed all together, with secret passages one to another, and a network of little alleys leading whither only the inhabitant* know, bo that if an enemy got into them 'tis ten to one lie would never get out alivo. The little town of Laporte, in 8ullivan I county, along the line of the Wllllamsport I & Harvey's Lake R R,, is experiencing a rare sensation A man named f'resno has gone into a trance, and every effort thus fat has failed to revive him. Cres-o has been a resident of Lsprrte for eight years, working for the Union Tanning Co Where he came from no person knows, and nothing is known of his life previous to the time of his arriving at Lsporte. He spoke of himself very 111 tie, and was a peculiar fellow. He wai a good workman and was always interested in religions matters. His spare time during the past year or more has been devoted to a religious work he bad purchased, and some time ago he announord as his belief that Christ had not yet become a living person, and that he was destined to perform many miracles that are prophesied in the Bible. He also stated that on Sept. 2, 1895, he would go into a trance, and remain in that state for foity days and forty nights. Little att ntion was paid to these remarks, but on Monday those wbo had heard him talk tliun learned that he had actually gone Into a tranoe. They were surprised, not to say alarmed. The people at his braiding house, fearing that he was dead or dying, sent lor twj Lapor e physicians, who said that Creeno was by no means dead. They did everything in their power to revive him, but failed Then two physicians . from Duthore were sent for. They also pronounced the man in a trance. The medicine usually gl en to persons In that state was administered, but to no avail. The fcur worked ou Monday and Tuesday, and have affected no change In Cresno's condition.

At Valencia we staid a week and threo days, lingering more than was necessary in order to see n bull fight. And this pastime they do not as we with dogs, but with men, and tho bull quite free, and, save for the needless killing of horses, I think this a very noble exercise, being a fair trial of address against brute force. And 'tis not ne;irly so brutal as seeing a prize fought by men, and not more cruol, I take it, than tho shooting of birds and hares for spirt, seeing that, tho agony of death is no greater for a sturdy bull than for a timid coney, and hath this advantage, that tho bull, when exhausted, is dispatched quickly, whereas the bird or hare may just escape capture, to die a miserable long death with a shattered TO BE A MAGNIFICENT BUILDING.

And then, Moll and her father sitting down to fetch their breath, a dispute arose among the brigands which we were at a loss to understand until Don Sanchez explained that a certain number would have it we were real dancers, but that another party, with Dim Lopez, maintained there wore bnt court dancers, which only proved tho more we were of high quality to be thus accomplished.

As I told you last week, there has been a good deal of uncertainty in the air, but that quality seems to have vanished along with the wavee that wafted Congressman Scranton homeward. About ss soon as he landed sll doubt became the startling certainty that there is going to be a scrap. It 1' a proverbial fact that our arlstooratlolOokiog Congressman is never so genial and so ntteTly oontented with himself and all men as when he is meditating and p'anning a row. The prospeot of an impending disturbance in which he and his enemies (and often a few of his friends) are involved, affords him the satisfaction that other people usually derive from the consolations of religion, or the mad excitement of a base ball game, as the tastes may incline He smiles alike upon the man who voted for him in the Seventeenth ward and one from the Thirteenth who didn't, when the felicity of a scrap is brewing. At ordinary times he has an assortment of cold glances for the man who hasn't always striven to please him in the past. And on Don Sanchez's consenting Jack would have us all shake hands on it for a sign of faith and good fellowship. Then, perceiving that we were arrived at tho outskirts of the town, we ended our discussion. first that nears him, and I do likewise, making the same show of valor wiBb my stool, but cutting a poor figure besidfea Dawson's mighty presence. Seeing their fellow laid out for dead on the tfcoor, with his hook nose smashed most horribly into his face, the others had no stomach to meet the same late, but with tlseir Spanish cunning began limb. From Va lenci a wo traveled five weeks, growing, I think, moro lazy every day, over very hilly country to Al\gyite, a seaport town very strongly protected by a castlo 011 a great rock, armed with guns of brass aud iron, so that the pirates dare never venture near. And here I fully thought wo were to dawdlo away another week at the least, this being a very populous and lively city, promising mnch entertainment. For Moll, when not playing herself, was marl to 6ee others play, and she did really govern, with her subtle wiles and winning smiles, more than her father, for all his masterful spirit, or Don Sanchez, with his stern authority. But seeing two or threo English ships in the port the don deemed it advisable that we should push on at once for Elcho, and, to our great astonishment, Moll consented to our ppeedy going without demur, though W hy we could not then discover, but did Boon after, as I shall presently show. We turned into the first posada we camo to—« poor, mean sort of an inn amV.gcnjffM riiop, to be sure, bat we were in no condition to cavil about trifles, being fagged out with onr journey and the adventures of th« day and only too happy to find a house of entertainment still open. So, after a dish of sausages, with very good wine, we to our beds and an end to the torment of fear I had endured from tho moment I changed my French habit for Spanish rags. CHAPTER X. "We'll convince em yet, mou, witn • fix of their doubts," cries Dawson, stating to his feet again. "Tell'em we will give 'em a stage dance of a nymph and a wild man, senor, with an excuse Cfor our having no costume but this. Play us our pastoral, Kit.

And at this word every man stood still as if by enchantment and let fall his weapon. Then in the same high voice he gives them a harangue, showing them that Dawson was in the right to avenge an insult offered his daughter, and the other justly served for his offense to us. "For his offense to me as the host of these strangers," adds he, ".Jose shall answer to me hereafter if he live. If he be dead, his body shall bo flung to the vultures of the gorge, and his name be never uttered again beneath this roof." Exeter Borough—Otto Johnson, miner.

And so thus they dance their pastoral, Don Sanchez taking a tambourine and tapping it lightly to the measure, up to Moll's song, which so ravished these hardy, stony men by the pathetic sweetness of her voice—for they could understand nothing save by her expression— that they would not let the dance go on until she had sung it through again. To coDclude, Jack springs up as one enamored to madness and flings out his last steps with such vigor and agility as to quite astound all. Wyoming—Fred Stall, engineer. Weet Pltteton—Edward Hani ton, engineer.The next morning, when wo had oaten a meal of goats' milk and bread and paid our reckoning, which amounted to a few rials and no more, Don Sanchez and I, taking what remained of Moll's two pieces, went forth into the town, and there bought two plain suits of clothes for ourselves in the mode of the country, and, according to his desire, another of the same cut for Dawson, together with a little jacket and skirt for MolL And these expenditures left us but just enough to buy a good guitar and a tambourine. Indeed we should not have got them at all but that Don Sanchez higgled and bargained like any Jew, which he could do with a very good face now that he was dressed so beggarly. Then back to our posada, where in our room Jack and I wero mighty merry in putting on our new clothes, but going below we find Moll still dressed in her finery and sulking before her skirt and jacket, which she would not put on by any persuasion until her fathor fell into a passion of anger. And tho sight of him fuming in a short jacket barely covoring his loins, and a pair of breeches so tight that the seams would scarce hold together, so tickled her senso of humor that she fell into a long fit of laughter, and this ending her sulks she went np stairs with a good grace and returned in her hated skirt, carrying her fine dress in a bundle. But I never yot knew the time when this shy baggage would not please herself for all her seeming yielding to others, and we wore yet to have more pain from her than she from us in respect of that skirt For ere we had got way through the town she, dawdling behind to look first into this shop and then into that, gave us tho slip, so that we were the best part of an hour hunting the streets up and down in tho utmost anxiety. Then as we were swearing with our exercise and trouble, lol she steps oat of a shop as calm as you please in a skirt and jacket of her own fancy, and ten times more handsome than our purchase, a red shawl tied about her waist, and a little round hat with a bright red bob in it set on one side of her head, and all as smart as a carrot COMMON PLEA8, OCT. 14.

C'niHlieil by a Fall of Coal Jnst at He Was About to (.care the Mine. William Kelly, lineman for the Western Union Telegrtph Company, had quite an experience with a li»e wire shortly before noon Friday, fortunately without serious results. He was working at the corner of Main and Water streets, removing a dead telephone wire belonging to T. R Staley. While be had hold of the wire it came into oontact with a live lncardeecent wire, and a current was transmitted to the lineman's hands. It was strong enough to throw him to the ground, and being unable to let go of the wire, there was a danger of him being seriously injured. Dr. Moon wat on the spot, and aoting under the directions of the lineman, who was per fectly sslf possessed, hs broke the old wire with his foot, tbus shutting off ths dangerou* current. Mr Kelley was exceedingly weak after being released, but soon regained strength and went about his work ss usual in ths afternoon. The affair ere ated considerable excitement on the street for a short while. Mlcbael McGlynn, emp'oyed as a laborer In No 13 shaft of the Pennsylvania Coul Co., was killed SVednes ay afternoon Sept. 3tk, by a fall of ooal. He had finished his day's work, and, as is customary, the min ere had left a shot to be fired by tbe labor' ere McQlynn lit the fuse. It "mWsed," and he want forward to relight it. Before he could escape, it went off, burying him beneath the mass of ooal. At the time of tbe accident there were only four men in the shCtft, the others having completed their day's work and gone home, and it was necessary to get assistance from ont!

"Brava!" Moll snatches the tambourine from Don Sanchez's hand, and stepping before Don Lopez drops him a courtesy and offers it for her reward. At this Don Lopez, glancing at the money on the table by his side, and looking round for sanction to his company, which they did give him without one voice of opposition, he takes up two of the goldpieces and drops them on the parchment Thus did our Moll, by one clever hit, draw an acknowledgment from them that we wero indeed no fine folks, but mere players, which point they might have doubted in their cooler moments.

We sot out again the next morning, but having shown how we passed the first day I need not dwell' upon those Which followed before wo reached Barcelona, thero being nothing of any great importance to toll. Only Moll was now all agog to learn the Spanish dances and I cannot easily forget how, after much coaxing and wheedling on hor part, she at length persuaded Don Sanchez to •how hor a fandango, for sorely nothing In tho world was ever more comic than this stately don, without any musio, and Weet Pltteton—Wlllla M.

Poor Moll, who was all of a shake with the terror of another catastrophe, added her prayers to Dawson's, and Don Saochez, with a profusion of civilities, laid the proposal before Don Lopez, who, though professing the utmost regret to lose us so soon, consented to gratify our wish, adding that his mules an wall a/vmatnined to WD» mad that they could make the journey as wall is the dark as In broad day.

It wasn't a Lackawanna oonnty man who told of getting goodly rams from both sides at the reoent convention, for no Laokawanna man tells how much he gets, but it is always regarded as highly amusing whsn any one of the leaders poses as a great reformer.

And now, when Don Sanchez proposed to pay for the service of our guides, it was curious to see bow every raaoal at the table craned forward to watch the upshot Don Lopez nykes a of leaving the payment to Don' Sanchez's generosity, and he, not behindhand in coartesy, lags out his purse and begs the other to pay himself, whereupon, with more apologies, Don Lopes empties the money on the table and carefully counts it, and there being but about a score of goldpieces and some silver he shakes his head and says a few words to Don Sanchez in a very reproachful tone of remonstrance, to which oar don replies by turning all the trifles oat of his pocket, one after the other, to prove that he has no money.

Ths boy was right under tbe cars, but did not lose his pre-ence of mind, and while the long ooal train was pissing over him hu remained perfectly quiet until the last oar had gone by, thereby saving hla life. Tbe boy's condition is as good as can be expected. HAULING STONE TO SMITflVILLE. For the Foundation of the Traction Road's Long Trestle. The truth of tbe matter is that aside from the lssns in the National delegate matter, there is not a crying need of re form in this county. It is probable no more perpendlcnlar set of officials ever managed the city affairs than are now at their head. A Mayor of exceptional lnteg rlty and irreproachable officials to match, make a cry of reform somewhat ridiculous. The 8jranton and Plttston Traction Company men are aotively at work preparing for the oompletion of the line from Avoca to Plttston. Several teams are busily engaged evey day hauling stone to Smlthvills, for use in the abutments for ths new steel treetle that is to bs bnllt over the Delaware and Hudson and Lehigh Valley traoks. The trestle will be 1,800 feet long. Among those who are furnishing stone are Drew & 8maltz and Mr PfiDgsten, of Hugheetown. "Ha," says she, "where have yon been hiding all this time?" It is declared by those who know that the present and prospective fight between the two wings of the Republican party in Scracton is likely to be most disastrous, as It will result in an entire change in the city offices at next Spring's election, and wi'l give the city government into the hands of Democrats Certain it is that no Republican ticket can win without the aid of the Connell faction.

Certainly she had not changed her French gown and things for them, for these, in a curious bundle, had her father been carrying up and down. She at length persuaded the don to thow her a fandango. in the middle of the highroad, cutting capers, with a countenance as solemn as any person at a burying.

The large nt mber of visitors who have been throngi g to the jull with tloketa has been surprising the officials, because it had been decided to restrict the attendance of visitors The commissioners all have power to Issue permits.

And though Moll, being but a slight slip of a lass, in whom the warmer passions were uubegotten, could not givo the bolero the voluptuous fervor of the Spanish dancers, yet in agility and in pretty, innocent grace she did surpass them all to luiught, which fc.'is abundantly proved when she danced it in our posada before a court full of Spaniards, for there they were like mad over her, casting their silk handkerchiefs at her feet in homage, and filling Jack's tambourine three times over with cigarros and a plentiful scattering of rials. The Auction Mart, Whipping Post (Ml Bulletin Place Mo Hon. Ht Takes up two of the goldpicces and drops them on the parchment. "If you han't stole 'em," says Dawson, finding his tongue at last, "whore did you find the money to pay for those trappings, minx?" One of the oldest landmarks In Wyoming Valley—the old elm on Kim Hill, Plymonth, jost above Bull Bnn crowing—was ont down Sept 5th beoanae so deoayed as not to be considered safe. Mnoh of the early history of Plymouth is grouped aronnd this tree. It was "ys Town Sign- Post," a place where all business of the town was transacted, the plaoe for posting notloes, the pnblio whipping-post, the exchange, auction mart, the forum, the hustings, recruiting depot, the plaoe for holding elections and the general oentre of all business affairs. It waa the accredited news oentre for all the valley ninety-sight years ago, reoognlaed bj the oourts. Whatever was said, written or done under that elm waa then authentio and undisputed.— Scranton Republican. so you will be good enough to step up stairs, the pair of you, and change your clothing for such as we can furnish from our store." "In my pocket, sir," says she, with a courtesy, "where you might have found yours had you not emptied it so readily for the robbers yesterday, and I fancy," adds she shyly, "I may still find some left to offer you a dinner at midday if you will accept it." And up stairs we were forced to go, and thus being stripped wo were given such dirty fine rags and so grotesque that when we came down Jack Dawson and Moll fell a-laughing at us, as though they would burst, and in truth we made a most ludicrous spectacle, especially the don, whom hitherto wo had seen only in the neatest and most noble of clothes, looking more like a couple of scarecrows than living men. DEATH OF PETER STYERS. Wedding at Newton. He Was the Oldest Locomotive Engineer This hint disposed us to make light of our grievance against hor, and we went out to Ravellos very well satisfied to know that our next meal depended not solely upon chance, and this, together with the bright sunlight and the sweet invigorating morning air, did beget in us a spirit of happy carelessness in keeping with the smiling gay aspect of the country about us. At Newton, Sept 4th, at high noon, was solemnlzrd a very pretty wedding, when Clinton Cobb, of Holllsterville, ltd to the marriage altar Miss Emma Van Buskirk, of Newton. The Rev. Mr. Johnson, of that place, performed the ceremony. The parlor where 1 he vows were m-tde which united these two well known young peo pie had been beautlfi-d by a large number of flowers and to the enchanting strains of a b Cautlful wedding march played by Mr. Long, of Scranton, the couple marched into the room and stood before a magnificent bower of golden rod. Tnere were no attendants. The wedding was witnessed by a large number of people. The ceremony over and hearty congratulations offered, the newly wedded couple led the way to the dining room where a sumptuous wedding repast was served. Mr and Mrs. Cobb shortly afterward le t on a wedding tour which will include Brook yn, Newburg and Con nectlcut. A large number of beau iful and costiy wedding g Its were received. Mrs. Cobb has a large i umber of friends in this plaee, having at one time attended tue West Side Bchools, and all wish her and her husband much joy la their wedded life. In the Country. "This comes of being so mighty fine!" says Dawson, when Don Sanchez had explained matters. "Had we traveled as became our condition, this brigand After suffering six months with gangrene, Peter Styers, aged 73 years, died in Bethlehem. He was reoognlz*d as ths oldest engineer in theoountry and had run locomotives on the Lehigh Valley, Reading and New Jersey Central roads for forty six years. He never had an accident. Railroad* rs compute that Styers had run locomotives a distance equivalent to forty times aronnd the globe. Every enemy of Mr. Connell—and all men of strong charaoter have their enemies —will jump at the present opportunity to get back at him. The men to whom he has done favors, who now forget them, brlieving they have a present grievanoe, will join in the fight against him. The men who have pretended friendship in the hope of getting something if Hastings won, will be there, too, and there will also be a multitude of small fry who will join the profession to help swell the yelps. And if they won't believe your story, ■kSenar, I can't blame 'em, for I would i b*ve sworn you had £1,000 to your I hand." would never have ensnared us higher. Don Sanchez neither smiled nor frowned at this treatment, taking this misfortune with the resignation of a philosopher, only to quiet Dawson's merriment he told him that in the clothes taken from him was sewed up a bond for £200, but whether this was true or not I cannot telL And I believe, had we staid there, we might have madfc more money than ever wo wanted at that time, though not so much as Don Sanchez had set his mind on, wherefore ho would have us jogging again as soon as Moll could be brought to it. "Do you reproach me for my generosity?" asks the don. It was strange to see how easily Moll fell into our tiappy go lucky humor, she who had been as stately as any Roman queen in her long gown being now, in her short colored skirt, as frolicsome and familiar as a country wench at a fair, but indeed she was a born actress and could accommodate herself as well to one condition as another with the mere change of clothes. But I think this state was moro to her real taste than the other, as putting no restraint upon her impulses and giving free play to her hoalthy, exuberant mirth. "Nay, master, I love you for being free with your money while you have it, but 'tis a queer kind of generosity to bring us into these parts with no means of taking us back again. However, we'll ■ay no more about that if we get out of this cursed smoke hole, and as we are like to oome off ill if these Jack thieves keep us here a week or so and get nothing by it, 'twill be best to tell 'em the honest truth and acquaint them that we are no gentle folk, but only three poor English mountebanks brought hither on a wild goose chase." Local Exhibits at Atlanta. THE CONTROLLER8HIP. Considerable interest Is bsing aroused in various Pennsylvania oountiee In. the At* lanta Exposition, whioh will bs opened on Sept 18. This State will have a commission and a ladies' auxiliary at the Exposition, and there will be quite a large general display, as well as a splendid one of woman's work So far as known, Luasrae will be repreeented in the woman's department by only a si ogle exhibit, that of an elaborate and artistic oenter pleoe for a table, the handiwork of Miss Lseiar, a daughter of Ool. J. D. Laciar, of Wllkeebarre. Lackawanna's ladiss, however, are making active preparations for a large exhibit. Over 300 pieoea of woman's work will be sent from that oounty. That the exhibit will be eo large is dne mainly to the interest and activity manifested In the work by Mrs. Hsrrist Olay Penman, of Soranton, Lackawanna's representative on the State Ladlea' Auxiliary—a woman who has numerous frlende in thisoity, having bten a frequent visitor here when shs waa Mias Olay. And now, to bring an end to this adventure, we were taken down the intricate passes of the mountain in the moonlight, as many of the gang as could find mules coming with us for escort, and brought at last to the main road, where we were left with naught but what we stood in (save Moll's two pieces), and robbers bidding us their adios with all the courtesy imaginable. But even then, robbed of all he had even to the clothes off his back, Don Sanchez's pride was unshaken, for he bade us note that the very thieves in Spain were gentlemen. It does seem rather odd ttut the two lions of the Republican menagerie of Lackawanna county shonld scrap over such very small prey as the delegates to the National Convention, bnt the fact is there seems to be a general oonviction that the party cannot support two lions. In other words this Is not to be a mythological affair any longer, and therefore no two headed freaks are to be allowed.

Mr. Lloyd Starts Proceedings Against the Commissioner*. From Barcelona we journeyed a mouth to Valencia, growing more indolent with our easier circumstances, and sometimes trudging no more than five or six miles in a day, and we were, I think, the happiest, idlest set of vagabonds in existence. But indeed in this country there is not that spur to exertion which is forever goading us in this. The sun fills one's heart with content, and for ono's other wants a few halfpence a day will suffice, and if you have Chcm not 'tis no sncli great matter, for these people are exceeding kind and hospitablo. They will give you a measure of wine if you aro thirsty as we would give a mug of water, and the pCxDrest man will not sit down to table without making yo» an offer to share what he has. Wherever we went we were well received, and in those poor villages where they had no money to givo they would pay us for our show in kind, ono giving us bed, another lDoard and filling our wallets ere we left 'em with the beet they could afford. County controller Lloyd last we k filed mandamus proceedings agalntt the county commissioners to compel them to show cause why they shall not grant him office room and reoognlae his rights as the controller of the county. Whichever way the case is decided it will be taken to the Supreme Court for final disposition by that body. Her very step was a kind of dance, and she must needs fall a-caroling of songs like a lark when it flies. Then she would have us rehearse our old songs to our new music. So, slinging my guitar in front of me, I put it in tune, and Jack ties his bundle to his back that he may try his hand at the tambourine. And so wo march along singing and playing as if to a feast, and stopping only to laugh prodigiously when ono or other fell out of tune—the most mad, light hearted fools in the world—but I speak not of Don Sanchez, who, feel what ho might, never relaxed his high bearing or unbent his serious #Dun ten mice. This was a bitter pill for Don Sanchez to swallow. However, seeing no other cure for our ills, he gulped it down with the best faoe he could put on it. But on*' lonffVifor /\f all who heard him 'twas plain to see they would not believe a word of his story. HOY'S TERRIBLE DEATH. How will It terminate! Who knows? One thing Is more than probable, we Republicans will all be In a big hole next spring, as a result of this affiir, when we might almost demand a kingdom and reoelve It. There are thoee who assert that City Treasurer R G. Brooks is at the bottom of mneh of the disturbance. Mr. Brooks is a fighter who never weakens, and he feels that he owee the Connell faction a little remembranoe on aoconnt of he Gibbons matter. As we trudged along the road toward Ravellos, wo fell debating on our case, as what we should do next, otc., Don Sanchez promising that we should have redress for our ill treatment; that his lame alone would procure us a supply of money for our requirements, etc., to my great content Dawson was of another mind. Fell Down the Pettebone Shaft and In- stantly Killed. "What would you have me do now?" asks the don, turning to us when the clamor had subsided, and he told us how he had tried to persuade them we were dancers he was taking for a show to the fair at Barcelona, which they, by our looks, would not believe, and especially that a man of such build as Jack Dawson could foot it, even to please such heavy people as the English. Playing aronnd the head of Pettebone shaft at Dorranoeton, Joe. Samnels aged 14, years, son of John Samnels, of Forty Fort, fell down the shaft and was Instantly killed, the body being terribly mangled. The boy playfully snatched a cigarette from a companion, and darted off, running directly Into the open shaft. Amorh those In attendance from this place were: Mr. and Mrs. C. H.

"As for seeking redress," says he, "I would as soon kick at a hive for being stung by a bee, and the wisest course when you've been once hit by a dog is to keep out of his way for the future. With respect of getting money by your honor's name, you may do as you please, and so may you, Kit, if you're so minded. But for my part, henceforth I'll pretend to be no better than I am, and the first suit of rags I can get will I wear in the fashion of this country. And so shall yon, Moll, my dear. So make up your mind to lay aside your fine airs and hold up your nose no longer as if you were too good for your father.'' - One thing I remember of him on this journey. Having gone about five miles, we sat us down on a bridge to rest awhile, and there the don left us to go a little way up the course of the stream that flowed beneath, and he came back with a posy of sweet jonquils set off with a delicate kind of fern very pretty, and this he presents to Moll with a gracious little siDeech, which act, it seemed to me, was to let her know that he respected her still as a young gentlewoman in spite of her short skirt, and Moll was not dull to the compliment either, for, after the first cry of delight in seeing these natural, dainty flowers, she loving such things lieyond all else in tho world, she bethought her to make him a oourtesy and reply to his speech with another as good and well turned, as she set them in her Waist scarf. Also I remember on this wad we saw oranges and lemons growdrons perfume in the air.

However, Colonel Ripple is determined and aggressive in his battles. He has great influence, too, and it is not exaggerating to say that he wonld sacrifice his life, if need be, for Mr. Connell, and he has many more such friends. It is a thousand pities that the whole difficulty could not have been settled by allowing both Connell and Scranton to trot off to the convention hand in hand, like two nice little boys. Each one blames the other for the present oon dltion of affairs, and each apparently oon siders himself abused. when the real trnth is that the party Is likely to be the afflicted one.
