I believe now, and have always be lieved, that Bryau was elected on a fail count of the ballots; but if he was de feated it was by methods forbidden in morals, most corrupt in politics, and ut terly subversive of good government by unprecedented coercing of voters, by wholesale use of boodle, and by such debauchery of the suffrage as made hon est men everywhere stand agQiast. But, nevertheless and notwithstaudiut; ing aU the odds we fought, thank God, there were 0,500,000 American rreemeu who could not le bribed, wheedled, or bullied into voting for tine Republican candidates, and our peerless young lead er received more votes than were ever before cast for a Democratic canddate for the Presidency, and stands forth the foremost statesman of the age.

A COMMON NUI8AN0B.':' Mr. Editor: Baleig V the only city so far as heard from which has the invidious and unique distinction of bar ing within its midst a set of white and negro boy "hoodlums" who are not able to buy even a spoke in a second-hand bicycle, but who persist in crying "Ice! Ice! Ice!" at persons who ride wheels which are not of the '99 model. A great many of the ill-mannered aforesaid "hoodlums" not only cry "Ice wagon" at '90 and '97 models, but also at per sons riding '99 wheels. It is getting to be a common nuisance, and should be a subject for the next meeting of the Board of Aldermen, in order to prevent serious damage to some of tie young Americans who insult gentlemen daily by their senseless jargon. If a person were to chabtise one of the insolent "small fry" he would be hauled up before the mayor and made to pay a fine, and hence the action of the "brats" who keep up their continuous howl of "ice, ice," at persons who are able to ride even a last year's wheel, when they (the howlers) are not able to ride any wheel at all, except to "wheel a bar- row" WHEELMAN. ARMLESS BRIDES. A woman without arms has been mar ried at Christchurch, New Zealand. The ring was placed upon the fourth toe of her left foot. A similar marriage to this was performed at St, James' church, Bury St. Edmunds, England, in 1832. FEMININE FAILING. Probably every woman wishes her nose was e.thet bigger or littler. Le banon Journal. liJS WITHOUT HAMMER OR TRIGGER A new triggerless and ihanunerless gun that has been invented by a man named Thompson, of Birmingham, Eng., if it fulfills all that is expected of it should become popular. Instead of pull ing a trigger one presses a button. The mechanism of the lock is of the ordi nary hanuuerless character and is work ed by a button, which is fitted in the small part of the stock, protected by a light guard similar to those used for hammerless guns. There is only one button for a double-barreled gun, and by an ingenious arangement it can be worked to fire both barrels right and left, or left and right, as the case may he. The idea of replacing the trigger by a button is not original, bnt H seems that no one has been able to carry it out practically heretofore. OH! CRAFTY MAN!
