TYRE YORK IN “DF ATE ”
The Way Being Clearei for York to Canvass
His Dislrict on Bull-Back. .
The eighth oongreasioDal diitriot of
North Carolioa begins to bum witb a
oheorful aoticipBtioD. Tbo lower project-
iog braoobes of treos, and the impertiDent
UDderbush along the road aod pathways
and oow tracks have bocD lopped off with
ao unspariog band. The ruts are filled
10 a« rapidly as the wcatber admHr.
The Hod, Tyre York is about to begin
bis unique ouavass for (he UepubHoao
nomination for CoDgrcssman. He has
addled and briiMod his bull. Fire shoots
from its noBtrils and most of its feet are
usually in the air. It is a bull full of
spirit, impetuous, pawing tbo ground,
leaping into the air, waving its tail in
defiance of the Democracy, and of the
Hon, Tyro York’s competitor for the
oomiDation.
The Hon. Tyro York’s competitor,
[Hon. Ramulus Z. Linncy, who it is
proposed (shall canvass the district on
mule back] palpably unable to meet Col.
York io that ooblo arena which ho has
made his own, has devised many sinister
expedients. He has directed his hench
men along the route of Col. York’s
trumphal progress to bandage tbo trees
at various intervals wiih red bandannas.
The colored Kcpubiicans who are unwiso
enough to oppose Col. York's aspirations
have been directed to wave widly the
reddest of tbcir red shirts beside tbo way.
But Col. Tyre York's bull, vioIoDt as
he seems, is a good,- sensible, solid,
respectable, quiet, order loving, conscrva*
tive Republican animal. Besides, Col.
York will put blinders on him. Witb
five or six pairs of blue and black glasses
plastered upon bis burning eyes, (his
ingenious anima), who confcrs honor upon
his name of Taurus Tyiious Kburaconcsis,
will be unable to resent (be indignides
uf liis master’s fucs. Wherever he goes
lie will attract attention by bis beauty
and bis seciuing dmility. Thousands
will ussemhle (o meet and greet him on
his way and to give him the glad pat
When Col. Tyre York, after riding
through the principal s(ree(s of the (own
on bullbaek, ariiws in his anchored bam
boo ehair in the pblanquin, and begs
iruvu to offer to bis Uepublican friends
11 lew thoughts upon the present condi-
ti m of public affairs, not even the mo&t
wuUgnant enemy of bis bupes, not even
the most mischievous urchin among all the
Tar Heel boys, will daro to prod that
rtlm(«t scared beast.
Seared indeed! The sunbeams wil)
smile upon bis glossy coat in (ho day
(ime; at night (he flames of pitch, (ar aod
turpentine will illuminate his glorioub
path. The Hon. Tyre York is carving
fur liiuiself with a sharp chisel and a
steady hand an enduring name upon
the tablets uf American history; but
don't forget (he bull —New Y^ork Sun.

CUPID AND BICYCLES.
A Govcramcni Officcr Cajlard ty a Moon
shiner’s Daugbter.
A remarkable story has just come to
light in which figuro moonsbinerd, a rev
enue of&eer, a beautilul mouatain maid,
Cupid and bioyoles.
In (be pummer a suspicion which the
revenue department had long entertained
ripened into certainty that thero was an
UUoit distillery somewboro in this vioinity
which was producing large quantities of
“Mountain Dew.*’ The local officials
being well known to the inhabitants, the
department sent hero a youog man from
Now York, one Jack Dickson by natne
whoso instructions were to ferret out such
information as he could get, while appar*
ontly oocupied solely io fishing, buotiog
and otherwise passing a month’s vacation.
The programme was duly carricd out.
Dickson hunted aod fished and kept his
eyes open, but not even a whiff could be
get of tbe forbidden liquor. Gao day
nearly two weeks after his arrival, ho
took his fishing rod and journeyed in a
direotion nut hitherto taken. Trying
many mountain streams, he oaught a few
fish, but his spying efforts were as vain
as heretofore.
Evening came on, and not knowing
his whereabouts, ho was delighted to suc
ceed in getting out of the underbrush un
to a good wagon road, llndecided which
direotion to take, he paused by the road
side a moment, when an apparitioa darted
around the bend of the road aod fuirly
took away his breath. A bicycle in this
wilderness, and what is mjre, ridden by
a most attractive girl! She saw him, of
course, and as he admitted hlinsijif to be
lost, fhe directed him h )w to ri;aoh her
father's farmhouse, extending a cordial
invitatioQ to stop, with all the free good
fellowship for which our girls hereabouts
are noted. Tbeo mounting her wheel,
she sped anuy, while Dickson hurtled
behind.
The larmt-'T insisted upou bis staying
all night, and he did so. It was a cjhc
of love at first Higlit. Dickson being
expert wlii>elmiu himself, was captivated
by the beautiful mouutatn rider. Moon*
shiners were forgirtten in lb) next few
days. Within a week be had his
wheel sent hither by express, and was
more than pleased to comply with Sallie
Newman's laughing orders that it must
be kept at the farm. Every day they
went out together, starting from the farm
in the afterooon and riding through th
leafy byways, frequently stopping at th>
reMdenee of Sallie’s aunt io the village
for supper, and then going home in the
moonlight.
Weeks sped away, until ooe day Dick*
son was rudely awakened from his dream
of bliss by a peroaiptory order from
Washington to return home, his mission
having proven fruitless. Sadly he started
out with Sallie for a final ride. Ail un
conscious of bid woes, Sallio twitted him
upon his strange silenje, nod then chal-
ed him to a race. Away she sped,
and he was sorely tried to keep at her
side. Neither noticed the fragments of
pane of window glass, dropped on the
road by soma unlucky farmer, until too
late.
“Hold on, our tires are punctured,”
shouted Dickson, jumping from his
wheel; “by the horn spoon, what's that,”
be added gazing with amazement at a
tiny stream of liquor spurting from both
front and rear (ires A moment Ia(ci
tbe whole situation fell upon him. '*0h,
you little moooshincr,'' he murmured,
and then ho let his wheel fall, and sprang
to catch Sallie, who bad swooned.
For six weeks the valiant Dickson had
been assisting uoawares the moonshincra
by carrying whiskey in bis pneumatic
tiie«, insjrtt'd at the farmhouse and deft
ly removed by A*int JuQi in the villuge
Did be arrest the guilty maid? Not
much. Ho resigned his position aod
married her, aod tbe bappy pair now live
in Philadelphia, where they are often
seen on a tandem in the pjrk.
It is soircely necessary to add the tires

A WOMAN^8 8MILE.
A woman's smile is (bus described in
a Hawaiian romrince: “Her rich red lips
parted, and there fiished upon the land
scape two rows uf beautiful white teeth.
Slowly her mouth opened wider and
wider, deeper grew the dimples in her
brooie oheek^; brighter danced the sun
beams in her eyes, until s(ray ray, dardng
through the foliage of an overhanging
bougbf illuminated tbe deep cavern of
her mouth, bringing into view the back
part of her bead. Then, seeing us gaging
intently upon ber^ she shuts her mouth,
and darkness fell upon the scene.”

A NARROW ESCAPi:.
Mr. Uckyman was Innoccni. hi CoulJ 11c
Nave I’rovci It?
*'As an illustration of how easy it is to
bccomo tho victim of circumstances and
how the strongest kind of proof may be
established against a person entirely in
nocent of criminal intent merely through
false appearances, I wish (o narru(e an in
cidont in my own exporionce,*' said a
gentleman to a reporter of tTie Washing
ton Star.
“Some years ago I occupicd a house
on ■ street in this city, ond as
there was more room than the family
needed the third floor was rented, tbe
occupants (hereof being u newly wedded
couple. Tho husband's work kept him
from home at night, (hough sometimes,
when work was slack, ho would get in
before daylight. My sleeping room was
immediately beneath that occupied by
tho tenants.
“At the time I speak of (here wa^
also another lodger in (ho house, not con
fined to any partiuular floor, but having
the run of (he whole premises. This
was a pet cat, u groat favorite with all
of us. This spceial cat came very near
getting me into serious trouble. On one
occasion she took a week’s leave of ab
sence. Wo never ascertained where or
how she spent the (ime, and no (race of
her could be found. But Uhe cat came
back.”
“Ooe night I was aroused from a deep
sloop (0 hear a pi(eous mewing at tho
upper door. I hastily arose and without
taking (ho (imo to even put on my slip
pcrs I hurried down and admitted (he
wanderer. Thou I started upstairs to
my room, but by some montul aberration
I seemed to forgot its location, pa.ssed it
by and went on up to tho third floor.
“Tho only way in which I can explain
my mistake is (his: There was a base
ment to (he house and 1 usually entered
that way. To reach my chamber in such
event I was, of course, compelled (o as
cend two flights of ^tairs, and tho bubit
thus lurtned may, io my sloopy state,
have led to tho error. The firi^t thing I
knew 1 was standing, clad only in ooe
very much abbreviated garment, inside
the tenant s room. The door was un
locked, aod I had opeued it and stepped
in without disturbing the sole occupant,
the young wife. There before me, by
tho light streaming through an open
window, I could plaitily see nmdarne
wrapt in slumber, unconscious of (be
proximity uf a siiay man, calmly, yet
not quietly, snoozing away.
“For a moment I w^s completely up
set and failed (o realize tbe situation.
Then, recovering my sonse:^, I softly
stole out, without a(temp(jng to close the
door. I had been in,my room less than
five minutes when thero was a rattle at
the front door as tho key was inserted
and in walked Mr. Younghusbaud.
Quietly he sped upstairs, and soon after
1 heard a somewhat animated discussion
in which tho fact of the room door being
open seetned to cut quite a figure. I
didn’t go up aod explain the matter. In
fact, I wa.s so impressed with the narrow
escape (hat I hud made that I was oom-
pelled to resort to the contents of a small
bottle to steady my nerves. What a
wouderful difference a few minutes may
make io (he affiirs of mankiod. I was
never before so struck with tho value of
time.
“Now, suppose I hud been discovered
by the young wife as I came out! What
ooustruoliou would have been put on tho
situation? Would my explanation huve
avail)2d? Hardly. Suppose, as is mjst
likely, a row had occurred, and the mitter
bad gone into (he courts What wou'd
a jury have thought of my apparently
all to diaphauoui story? I hate to think
of what the oosQquences might have
been, both to myself and to others.
“It is true, my character was, and sciil
Is, fairly gojd, aod the cat was there t>>
testify io my behalf, but I fear thut
would n't have helped me much But
supposed me exonerated by a jury.
Would n)t ‘suspicion, strong as proof of
Holy Writ,’ have damned me in public
ostimatiou?
“I haven't the least doubt uf it.
“The experieoo>5 of th it, to m i, event
f'ul night (aught me a powerful less >n.
I have since been exceedingly oareful iu
passing judgiudot upon others wli))n tho
evidence is based on app^aranoes only, no
matter bow convincing these may seem.
I sometimis meet my form(?r tenants,
now pater and mater famiiies, but I nivtr
do so without experiencing an unojiu-
foitable feeling.
“1 may suy, in oonclusioo, that I am
also mighty pirtioular bow I travel ab iut
at night, e>peoially when garbed uuly in
rectitude and a very short robe do nuit.”

A CONGRESSMAN’S JOKE.
Gralifj'infi a Consiituent's Whims May He
Diplomatic, But Is Expensive.
One member of tbe House is in a
regular h(cw just now. To a reporter bo
tells (bis story of hiiOHelf:
“I was slightly surprised a few days
ago (u receive a lc((er from a constituent,
as follows:
“ ‘Dear Judge—Tim Dooley says thut
the (lovernment gives away fish (o (hose
who apply. I don’( know if (his is so or
nut; but if so I wish you would send me
some. The only kind we get here are in
half pound packages, called boneless cod
and (hey are no accuun(, and (hen (bey
make you thirsty. If they give away
the fish hooks I wish you would send me
some, for (he Major, Baosom Brown,
Judge Kaufman nod I have planned to
go fishing as soon as (be weather opens
up. You know they all worked well for
you (he last time.’
“For tho sake of the joke I dropped
into a sporting goods store, and bought u
tin box of hooks for 91.50, and sent it (o
my friend with a no(c saying I was very
glad (hat I had sonic fish hooks still left
from my quota, though there had been a
gre-iit demand for them aod (he horse
hook. The supply of fish had run out,
aod (he President had been so occupied
wi(h bonds, and had Coogre^s on his
hands so loog that our supply was ex
hausted. I regretted also that the ducks
have been wild, ur could maybe have got
some, but last trip drover only got 13,
and he needed most of those hiinne^f.
“The results was fourteen requests for
fi'jh hooks within u week, and they are
still coming. It xa no use to say thut
Uncle Stim does not handle fi«h hooks,
a.-^ here are the hooks and there is my
letter, and if I don't send them every
last man (hat I rofuie will sharpen a
knife for me next campaign, and if I do
I will go broke. Don't fool with the
granger.”—Washington Times.

The Queer Proposal AiiresseJ lothciMolher
of his l.aJy Lover.
A quiant offer of marriage, written
more than ooo hundred years ago, is
carefully preserved in tho family of the
young wooer’s descendants. It wus ad
dressed not (0 the young woman herself,
but most respectfully and decorously (u
her parents. Tho fa(her uf tho “Betsy"
referred to had (cn daughters, and as be
was a clergyman for fifty years in a small
Now England (own, it may be surmised
(hat his offirmative answorto pparo his
“sevenlh" was as quickly assenting as i(
was final. Tho wooer was also a clergy
man, and he and his Betsy passed their
entire married livrs in the same pastorate,
ministers of (hose days liviog atid dying
with their flocks. Here is the lover's
plea:
Both reverend sir and worthy maiden,
Soft wedlock's bands first was talked in
heaven;
When happy man in Eden dwelt alone,
The smiling God, a spouse did form of
buno
That friendship might their joyful souls
in»>pire
And knit their hearts in a seraphic fire.
With wedlock chain I wish myself to
bind,
If from your lips the answer should
prove;

That we may join our hands as well as

And live in love and share cach other's
cares.
While fleeting time whirls un with rolling

Till grizzly death dissolve.s tho silken

LEAUN TO LAUGH.
A good laugh is better than medicine.
Learn how to (ell a s(ory. A well told
story is as welcome as a sunbeam in a
sick room. Learn to keep your (roubles
to yourself. The world is (oo busy to
care for your ills and sorrows. Learn to
stop croaking. If you cannot see any
good in the world, keep the bad to your
self. Learn to hide your pains and achen
under a pleasant smile. No one cares to
hear whether you have (he earache, head,
ache or rheumatism. Don’t cry. Tears
do well enough in novels, but they are
out of place iu real life, licarn to mee(
your friends with a smile. Tho good-
humored man or woman is always wel
come, but the dyspeptic or hypochondriac
is not wanted anywhere, and may bo a
nuisance as well.—Pennyslvania School

THE GARIER IS A THING OF BliALTY.
I aslenej Atove the Knee it is so Prelly
with its Buckles and Ritton Bows No
Wuman Can Resist It.
The garter has become a thing of
beauty, but it remains a hygienic abomi>
nation, according to the doctors. This
refers to tho round giirter, which com-
pri'sses (ho muscles, re(ards (he circulu-
(ioi), aod numbs the nerves.
And it is this instrument of torture
upon which the manufacturers have
lavished their attention, until it has be
come so pretty an affair, with its filagree
buckles and its ribbon bows, that only
Spartan women can resist it.
FASTKNKD ADOVE THE KNEK.
The round garter, fastened above the
knee, is not consilered by physicians
quite HO deadly as the tightly-drawn
corset. There arc no ribs in the leg to
bo compressed, and the vital organs of
the body are not located in the neighbor
hood of the knee. But, n«xt (u the
injurious compression uf the waist, bust,
and abdomen by stays, (ho hygieoists
place tbe compression of the leg by elastic
garters. The india-tubber bands which
cncirc'ie (he flesh jus( above the knee are
dangerous, becau.>^e uf their effect upon
the muHcles and upuo the circulation.
The veins are contracted, and (be blood
of ncccssi(y is retarded in its flow. Tbe
result is not merely local injury, but
harm to the whole system, which is
affected by the iHluggishoess of the circu
lation.
But tho danger does not merely lie io
un impaired cireuiution, but is also mus
cular. In walking, tho muscles just
above and below the knee are brought
more in(o play than any others. The
compression of tho mu»icles at this point
is therefore, something to bo avoided, for
it moans additional effort at every step
and consequent weariness. Often this
fatigue produces muscular rheumatism,
and doctor's bills arc (he direct result of
the frivolous bit of silk elastic ribbon
and silver which shopkeepers call a gar
ter.
If (he esigeneies of tidiness absolutely
demand tho round garter it is much
better that it should bo worn below the
knee than above.
