Greensboro Patriot. Just before leaving Washington last week Pat Winston contracted with Puc&'s man for two cartoons of himself. One picture represents Win ston's receptioo into the republican party ; Kcogh playing on the trom bone, Wheeler on the bass violin, Humphrey beating the drum, Ball on the flute and O'Hara the bones, the whole Republican band celebra ting the grand entree of Winston With most extravagant demonstrations Pi delight, accompanied with the loudest and sweetest strains of music by the band. -- Second picture c Winston in the form of a poor, scalded rat, sneaking Bp to the Republican corn crib. Jn the door sits Boyd with a Gatling gun ; near him sits Keogh whisper ng "keep cool and don't shoot until you are certain that you will git him:" These pictures, Winston says, rep resent Winston's status in the Repub Jin party. York and his mule has left out purposely. Down Come Blaine and Logan. The Big Fifth Avenue Banner Falls and Puts Out All the Electric Lights. -- New York 8un. After Mr. B. F. John had sent out his printed letters begging all still loyal Republicans to chip in to the Blaine campaign fund he ordered a stout wire to be stretched from the roof of the Republican national head quarters at 242 Fifth avenue diagon ally across the avenue to the third story of the big apartment on the corner of Twenty-eighth street and rigged thereon a big Blaine and Logan banner. The banner had to be put up sideways, because the own er of the house opposite the headquar ters wouldn't lend his roof. At 8:35 last night a sudden gust of wind-slapped the Republican candi dates in the face, pulled the iron fast ening of the bauner out of the apart tLeut house wall, and brought things n with a crash on the electric light wires thafcross the street. Mr. B. F. Jones' wires cut half way through the electric line. The cut wire sputtered like a blue light for an instant, and then all the tall glob ed burnerd in the avenue from Madi son square up to Forty-second street went out with a puff, and left the street nearly pitch dark. "Gosh," said a. bystander as he-j dodged to escape the tumbling net work, "that's the third time that ban ner's tumbled since it was put up. It don't seem to catch on worth a cent." The engineer in the electric light supply station on West Twenty-fifth street fooled with his dynamos till midnight, trying to make them work right, and then sent out an inspector to find out what the matter was. He found out after midnight that the wires couldn't be fixed tHI mornings Mean time policemen did patrol duty in the dark, and pedestrians couldn't make out anv of the house numbers. Kissed the Wrong: Girl. Lancaster Ledger. On one of the seats in a railway train was a married lady with a little daughter; opposite, facing them, was another child, a son, and a colored lady and a baby. The mother of these children was a beautiful matron with sparkling eyes, exuberant health and vivacious spirits. Near her sat a young lieutenant, dressed to kill and seeking a victim. By and by the train approached a tunnel. The lieutenant leaned over and whispered something in the lady's ear. For the understanding proper ly of this narattye we must tell the reader what was whispered and what was the reply. "I mean to kiss you when we get into the tunnel," whispered the lieu tenant. "It will be dark who will see it?" replied the lady. Into earth's bowel's into the tun nel ran the train. Lady and color ed nurse quickly changed seats ; gay lieutenant threw his arms around the lady sable, pressed her cheek to his, and fast and furiously rained kisses on her lips. In a few minutes the train came out into broad daylight. White lady looked amazed ; colored lady bashful, blushing; gay lieutenant befogged. "Jane," said the white lady, "what have you been doing?" "Nothing," respouded the colored lady. "Yes, you have," said the white lady, not in an undertone, but in a voice that attracted the attention of all the car. "See how your collar is rumpled and bonnet smashed. Janejpoor colored beauty, hung her head a moment, the observed of all observers, and then turning round to the lieutenant replied. "This man kissed me in the tun nel." Loud ami long was the laugh that followed among the passeugers. Mb. Blaike ap the Mob. The Louisville (Ky.,) Post of Monday last says ; "The Cincinnati Commercial Gazette reproduces in the editorial col umns the worst part of the filthy scan dals against Cleveland. The Post is in possession of facts in regard to Mr. Blaine's conduct while school teacher in Kentucky, of the mob that threat ened him, and of his submission to avoid being lynched. If the Repub licans continue this mode of making war.it will be interesting to Mr. IJlaine and his friends, A word to the wise is sufficient." Wilkes County. From the Charlotte Observer. Wilkesboro, July 28. a Politics is getting warmed up. Dr. York has opened the caimpagn in this county ; has made two speeches. He was met at Trap Hill last Satur day, 26th inst., by Col. W. H. 3. Cowles, who handled the Doctor with gloves off. Col. Cowles is a fine speaker, and if Dr. York ever got a whipping in his life Col. Cowles gave it to him last Saturday. A large crowd was present and enjoyed the whipping hugely. Dr. York says he will meet Gen. Scales at every ap pointment if his "leetle mule" can carry him. He who will never re member riding his little mule to Ral eigh as Governor of North Carolina. Old tried and true Republicans look upon Dr. York's electiou as an im possibility. Dr. York is known as the "one armed" candidate for Gov ernor, having said when a Democrat that if ever he left the Democratic party his right arm might be taken off. York cannot carry the negro vote. Often has he said that were he elected for any office by one vote, and he knew that vote was a stiuking negro vote, he would not have the office. No wonder the negroes can't swallow him. She Forgets Something-. A Simple Acknowledgement might have Saved Her Seat. Boston Globe. The following incident took place recently on a Massachusetts railroad not many miles from Boston. Sever al ladies entered the car at one of the many stopping places and all obtain ed seats except one. A middle-aged, well dressed gentleman, who looked like he might be a bank president (not in an invidious sense) arose and politely offered the latter his seat. The lady (?) dropped into it without so much as an inclination of her head or a simple "thank you." The gen tleman was evidently indignant. He gazed at the lady a moment and then stepping up to her said : "I beg your pardon," pointing at the same time to the back of his seat as if he had left something in it. The lady arose and the gentleman coolly dropped into the seat, took out his paper and commenced to read. A titter ran around the car, and it was the unan imous opinion of the lookers-on that the lady had been treated no worse than she deserved. She remained standing for some time in evident embarrassment, but nobody offered her a seat, and at the next station she moved into another car. Blaine claims credit for the Repub lican party and high taxes for all the progress we have made since the war. It seems to us he should take the crop as it runs. What does he say about the three hundred millions spent on a navy that is worthless ; about the millions stolen by the whis key ring ; by the credit Mobilier ; by the Indian ring ; by the star routers ; what about the corruption in the army where army officers have brought dis credit on the uniform by their frauds as illustrated by Howgateand Swaim; what about the wanton squandering of immense doraaius of public lands on thievish corporations which had bribed Congressmen to deal fairly by the people, whose servants they were; what about the profligacy that viti ates the air of all the departments at Washington ? He should take the evil with the good. But the truth is the country has progressed despite its immoralities; despite its corruptions; despite its excesses ; despite its heavy burdens laid upon our prosperity by the hand of the radical party. We have been borne down by the weight of these burdens. Relieve the people of them and give them a fair chance and we will prosper indeed. News & Observer, From reliable authority the Regis ter learns that typhoid fever prevails to a great extent along the track of the cyclone which passed through Fairfield county last spring. Sever al deaths have occurred in families attacked by the fever, and physicians have noted it as a singular fact that a majority of the typhoid fever cases are confined to the stretch of country yisited by the cyclone. ins said that there is to be a gen- era! stoppage of the cotton spindles in New England for at least one month. I here is too much produc tion and not enough consumption. There is not enough consumption be cause the people are not prosperous. 1 he people are not prosperous be cause of the heavy taxation to which : they are subjected. Think of it, the government raises three hundred millions of dollars where two hundred millions would answer the sr. a m . a purpose. It takes from the people $100,000,000 each year more than the people ought to pay because the government have no use for it. If it is raised it will be squandered. It is being raised. The people pay it out of their pockets. It oppresses them and destroys their substance. Not only have the Northern cotton mills shut down, but other lines of industry as well. If something is not done we will have a fearful win ter. The matter is in the hands of the people. They must decide. News & Observer. Perhaps the hottest region on the earth is the Persian Gulf, where little or no rain falls. At Bahrin, the arid shore has no fresh water; yet a com paratively numerous population con trive to live there, thanks to the co pious springs which burst from the bottom of the sea. The fresh water is got by diving. The diver sitting in his boat, winds a great goatskin bag around his left arm, the hand grasping its mouth ; then he takes in his right hand a heavy stone, to which is attached a strong line, and thus equipped, he plunges in and quickly reaches the bottom. Instant ly opening the bag over the strong jet of fresh water, he springs upon the ascending current, at the same time closing the bag, and is helped on board. The stone is then hauled up, and the diver, after taking breath plunges in again. I he source of these submarine springs is thought to be in the green fields of Osman, some five or six hundred miles distant. Cooking a Trout While on the Hook. Jn the woods, near the moutain crest, is a warm lake a hun dred feet across; and three miles from it, dowu below all the terraces, near the Gardner river, a river of scalding water rushes like a mill race from beneath a ledge of rocks, and flowing a few hundred yards, falls into the Gardiner. Here it is that one may catch a trout in the cold stream, and without moving a step swing him, still wriggling on the hook into the hot river and boil htm. I have seen it myself, and have tast ed the fish so cooked ; but as epicures say that 'a trout boiled is a trout spoiled,' and as these were cooked in boiling sulphur water, I cannot avoid admitting that the morsel was not very palatable.

Yonhers Ga zette. lu fellows think you are do ing a big thing, no doubt, ' but we are going to wait for the thirty-fifth chance. Nothing small about us. Printers' Weekly Gazette. A correspondent at White Sulphur Springs writing to a Washington "pa per says : There are people here who came in May and who will remain for the rest of the season. The cli mate is delicious, and the mountain scenery picturesque and grand, while the fare is far beyond the average. The cluster of cottages known as Par adise Row are overflowing with young ladies, as are all the other cot tages and the grand hotel, who in freshness and loveliuess resemble Paris." Washington, August 2. Repre sentative Culbertson, of Kentucky, who made an attempt to commit sui cide at the National Hotel in this city day before yesterday, and was taken to Providence hospital, is much better this afternoon, and unless some unforeseen complication should occur is regarded as out of danger. 1 London, August 1.
