A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE.

SECOND EDITION.

Town Talk. MM\

the progro»H of the present campaign, that it is ijhc hottest within the memory of man. T. T. lias several times been inclined to doitbt the troth of the assertion, had not a Tcind friend came to the rescue and initiated him into the mysteries of campaign work. To be a successful campaigner i* very hard work. It taken all a man's time and sorely taxes his strength and ingenuity. Of course it must bo exciting, which doubtless nerve* as a stimulus to keep him going. In time* of political excitement mieh as the present, it seems to T. T. that tlie strain upon the nerves

the average

politician must be almost beyond enduranoe. Traveling men very often complain of their sufferings from want of rent caused by hasty changes from place to place, but thin must bo insignificant in comparison with the hasty movenientH through the country, taxation of brain and voice, uncertainty of results, and various ofiher ills to which tho political speaker subjects himself. If the choekof the average politician is brass mounted, his constitution must bo made of steel, and even with an armament of this description ittaeojngwonderful that bo survive*?? The incentive must be great which carries him through so much.

It is one of those conundrums of Providence which T. T. could nover solve, what makes mm devote so much

and

time

attention to politics. With some it

Ikdoubtless

a love of country with oth

ers a desire to see their party suuccod but with the great majority it is no more or less than the hope of gain. The political bummer, whose chief end is to eat, drink and be merry, views a coming political campaign as a farmer views his growing crop—with the calculation of hbw mtich if will yield him. Tho hotter the canvass the better for the bummer

spout, and that means hard times for the bummot but If the contest is close Mhi stake axaluable quo, the burnHier Is fn his element, and rolls in clover it is a bonanza to him, and ho workntlioclaim with tho latest improved machinery, and takes out all tho ore which it will yield. There is nothing Illiberal about him, his modesty excepted. He claims everything, and takes no mow than be «an get. His knowledge of ttMrgfeUti** workings of society is without limit—if his statements are to be believed and, judging from the 11beral pay which be receives, his services must be very valuable* He is a "Will-o-the-wisp" character, who is more liable to lead his victim into a quagmire of defeat than along the path to victory. He Mesas to be a political necessity. No one likes him, yet all candidates seem to patronise him. He is one of the out* growths of "oar glorious institutions," and is one of tho strongest arguments in favor of monarchical government which Providence has ever produced. He is a fostering sore on the political body which no party or candidates of a party wUl try to cure. He is a living example of the truth of Burns' saying that "man was made to mourn," because when he inflicts himself upon an individual or a community, grief is sure to follow. When the campaign closes he disappears as suddenly as flies before October frosts, but humanity is never sure of relief from his importunities until the famous Res per, before whoa all must fail, steps in and kindly oilbrdi reBef.

T. T. Is of the opinion that disinterest, ed politidana are as few as angel visits, and whenever he sees one assume the perpendicular sad assure his audience that he has no object in misrepresenting feeta, T. T. always looks for a whopper ot mora than ordinary dimensions, and he Is seldom disappointed. Speaking of whoppers suggests the thought that there is a great deal of oaMPAMv. fctnw and mtoreptwntatton being indulged iu

during

the progress of the present

qunpaign. It hae been very truly said that when a man engage* in politics and {femes before the people as a candidate his record receive a thorough ventilation and he is wire to hear many things ol himself which he never before knew. Though his life may have been pure as the driven snow he is not exempt from these attacks. No matter how false such attacks may be they have the desired effect with some credulous, weak minded people who allow others to think for them and lead them around by the nose. Tho present campaign has been burdened with literature which has been doing duty of this sort. Not content with damaging a man1* character through the papers these sttacks are printed and delivered through malls by some other means which render detection of the animal which would engage In audi worktmposslbte. The labs* device of

this kind of which T. T. has heard, and in speaking of it ho disclaims being partisan, is the circulation, in this surreptitious way, of a purported copy of a letter said to have been written by the candidate for Governor of this State, on the Republican ticket, to the commissioners of the county in which he lives stating that he is (the letter was written a number of years ago) opposed to tho licensing of saloons in his ward. Of course a document of this kind is only for circulation among the whisky element and, while there are many good men engaged in this business, it will have the effect of losing many votes# to Mr. Porter. It may be true that he is a gentleman in every sense of the word. A scholar lie Is and as much superior to his opponent as sunlight is to candle light, but he is temperate in ids habits and, consequently, not a fit person to be elected Governor of Indiana. It is amusing to hear these stories told. To the saloon element it is told Mr. Porter is the strongest kind of a temperance man— a holy terror to all who indulge in even the most moderate doses, while to the temperance people this same Oily Gammon will deal out a tale that Mr. P., regularly takes his drink and it can be proven on him, and what makes tho matter worse, these stories are fathered by no one they are stabs in the back dealt in the most cowardly manner. T. T. would think that the saloon keepers union of tho great State of Indiana would bo sufficient to defeat a Gubernatorial candidate without stooping to such vile means to attain the end. It is said there are one hundrod and fifty saloons in this county, only one half of which pay license, and surely their influence is great enough for evil without introducing other means of warfare to assist them. Such arguments tend to show that tho party that advances them does not believe the day has yet arrived when they are to be represented by a gentleman. Such men are thoso who cry loudest against strong government and furnish the Strongest arguments in its favor. T. T. is strongly inclined to believo this country is gradually but surely drifting towaifl* a stronger government. It is forcing itself upon the people. As th| country increases in strength nnd wealth the spoils of office become matters of greater moment, and

studyof parties. TogaJn control of them parties, will uso corruption funds, if tfcs$MP*4Mt airsady ilolng-it, and to make rip for the expenditure the victors will have to be more liberal in the distribution of tho spoils. T. T. is of the opinion that the party that will inaugurate a systein of honest civil service reform and take away from grasping politicians the distribution of the spoils of offloe will work a grand reform in the politic* of tbe country, rest its prosparity oil a surer foundation and insure to itself the thanks of generations yet unborn.

ABOUT WOMEN.

Only three months of leap-year left. Good gracious, girls! If a husband don't suit Alice Oates she just discharges him and ends the matter.

A Boston girl became insane because she could not afford to wear real lace on her underclothing.. 3^ 1

As a matter of fact, a woman will sit alongside of a man in a car, though a seat be vaceut next to a woman.

Tho following is from an epitaph at Versailles: "Exeept iu I860, during which for several days she took lessons on the piano,- her life was without a stain." yr

Women douH care a straw for politics. The only thing troubling them now Is how they can slice up last year's suit and warm it up a little with JH|me ^the new plaida.

Women are bound to lie about their ages. A dame who knows she cant pass for leas than sixty-five goes to the other axtcsne, and claims to be one hundred and ni

One of our efltahangea remarks that there Is many a girl called a "daisy" before marriage who aftarafewyearslooks like a faded "buttareup." There may not be much poetry in this assertion, but there Is a measure of truth in it.

Nancy Heywood had murdered a woat Manitowoc, Wis., aad was in jail on suspicion but her denial of gniit was persistent, and there waa hardly an evidence against bar. Her mother visited her in prison, held a crucifix up befor her, and called on her In the nameof Virgin Mary to tell the truth. The girl thereupon confessed the crime.

The romance of a young Bostostlan who married aNew York lady last winter, is told by a correspondent of the Chicago Times. They went abroad for a bridal trip of six months, and after their return one of his acquaintance* said to the bridegroom: "Well, my dear boy, I suppose yon are delighted with your pretty wife. You think her a radiant goddess, no doubt. Men always do havsaartnwagant Bottoms of their wivm the first year of marriage." The Bostonian smiled rather drearily as he replied: "Well, the ftsct is, my wife has

too many elothes for every possible occasion, and they are all of sueh resplendent pattern that my time has been mainly taken up in admiring them, I have not really got acquainted with my wife yet. BntI dare say tbatiu tho course of a year or so I shall get down to the actual Woman. Queer creatures women are, ain't they?"^

A Philadelphia mother, Mrs. Carrie Newton, pressed by poverty, offers for sale her daughter, 14 years of age, of whom she says in her advertisement, iS •'cultured, amiable, ant| of prepossess* ing appearance." Mrs. Newton formerly lived iir Indiana, has recently lost her, husband, and is an invalid. She can lind a home with friends for herself, but her daughter she claims is an incumbrance, and she desires to dispose of her *"to some kind, Christian family" for $000. The money she proposes to use in paying her debts. This is a sad case for the city of "brotherly love."

Chicago women "take the cake." One of them, at least, contrived to beat the express company. Like Schneider, she wanted to buy a dog and she bought it in San Fameisco, and had it sent by express to Chicago. When the dog arrived the hair was all off, and she sued tho company for seventy-tive dollars, for allowing a locomotive to to scald all the hair off her dog. She obtained judgment, and what is more remarkable, the money. Afterwards, the company found out that tho animal was a Japanese dog, and never had any hair. The company tried to catch the women who played this bold trick on them but she escaped.

THE BETTER WORLD. CHURCHES, PASTOR AND PEOPLE.

At the First Baptist Church to-morrow morning, Rev. C. R. Henderson's theme will be "Praise of Christ," and in the evening he will speak of "Tho -rotriota Whole Duty."

If it is a pleasant day our churches ought to be well filled to-morrow. The members having about all returned from their summer scampterings should settle down to solid piety again,

Tho members of tho Corigregatio church, at a meeting last Wednesc evening, votgd t«tca&R0T. of Toledo, as pastor for one year—' year with a privilege," as tho auctioned rr1*

The Detroit M. fi. Conference has deposed the Rev. Mr. Ware because he does not pay his debts.

That preacher uttered a trueism when he said "souls are won, more by the unction of grace, *by the power of love, than by theforoe of argument."

Another pastor having been accused of fri—ring the lady members of his flock, the Philadelphia Chronicle-Herald Hitnki that preachers will have to wear muzzles when not on duty. "4a-

The Rev. A. A. Hoskin, who had been deposed by the Methodists for heterodoxy, was denied permission to perform a marriage ceremony in his former church at Milwaukee.

Rev. David Swing recently counted on the train between St. Louis and Chicago the utterance "By God," by a gentleman who sat behind him, over seven hundred times.

A sporting man said, after hearing Bob IngersolTa lecture: "It was a very spicy thing'to laugh at for an hour, but not a very cheering doctrine to have around when there is a funeral in the house."

Elder Daniel Franklin, ft Campbellite preacher, delivered a political sermon the other day in flavor of his brother Gampbelitte, Garfield, at Fairview, Ind. •'If I had the power," he Baid, "which Christ had over His enemies, no Democrat would he here to vote at the next eleation."

How to AD ehnrohea waa one of the topka upon which Mr. Beechar touched last Sunday but ha offered no new plan. He said that live preachers can fill churches, bnt did not tell where thay are to be had, although sinners are about as anxious to see them as the sainta are. •n old colored preacher was lecturing a youth of his fold upon the ain of dancing, when the latter protested that the Bible plainly said there was a time to danee. "Yea, dar am a time to dance," •aid the dusky theologian, "and it's when a boy gate a whippin' for gwine to ahull."

In his sermon last Sunday Rev. Talout the foes of domestic and ungallantly but fairly brought to light some of woman's own iwilug When be said that unwiee, fretful, jealous women have bnilt one half the dub boons of the day he went to one of the roota of the matter.

Almost all good things am liable to misdirection. There seems to be a growing tendency among patents, particularly in our large cities, to give up tho Sunday School to the children and then to sxsnse them from all attendance at other services. Now, then to in this a double wrong both to parents and children. It is the duty of the former

to"j|& with their children, occasionally, at l&lgt, to Sunday School and to show their interest in success. The Sunday «hdcJ as an organization feels the hopefit sueh visitations, and parents reiex benefit therefrom also.

Coarse straw bonnefs' will bo" worn through the fall this year. Dresses, hats,' bags, belts and shoes are to correspond this fall.

Some very small bonnets appear among lata novelties in millinery. The largest and most imposing hat of the season takes the name of Sarah Bernhardt.. j.

After the rage (or big bounets has subsided, the medium sizes will probably be most worn.

To muffle the throat iu several yards ft/t white or black tulle, a la Sarah Bernhardt, will be all the fashion.

It is said that only Derby hats for very young ladies will bo fblt this winter.

It is devoutly to be hoped that the days of street sweeping dresses have been definitely numbered.

Ladies with expense tastar have their underwear made of white Chinese silk, such as is used for pocket handkerchiefe, but this laxury is necessarily confined to the few. Colored pettiooata are almost universally worn with short dresses for the street.

A walking costume that will be much in Ihvor for the autumn is madeof soft cloth, with a short skirt plaited perpendicularly, and a short redingote resembling a man's cut away coat, of the same cloth The opening formed by the rerera is filled with a chemisette of fine linen, plaited j^djlpaed. with' three gold buttons.

The newest thing in note paper is the address and date in and exact fac-simile of the writer's handwriting in one corner, and a delicately painted flower, crest, or even a tiny landscape having some connection or association with the person by whoih it is ordered, in the other. As, for instance, a lady whose residence happened to bear the romantic name of "Pansy Cottage," would have the small purple flower in the left hand corner of her paper and in the right her own hand-writing accurately produced for the residence and date. The great charm of this new fashion will be ita costliness and the impossibilty of its becoming common, as, of ooume, a new iWijpi and anew plate must be made for everyone who adopts it.

THE PASSING SHOW.

SHOWS AND SHOW FOLKS.

F6i' tfie coMng week, stt the Opera House, wc are to have a vWy attractive line of annisements—three entertainments, all lirstclass, and ao varied ae to please all tastes. On Wednesday ovfening will bo. presouted here, for thb first time, Branson Howard's beautiful play of "The Banker's Dmightor." The Cincinnati Enquirer, of a recent date, sajis:

Whejit"Tho Banker's Daughter" was i»*csemCd at Pike's, last season, ny the excellent company under the ttmnngement of Umt prince of good fellows, J. Vf. OotUer, the engagement was by far Uie ruostsucecssful that uie house enjoyed during the season, and the entire press of the,city ga,ve tlie play and the company unlimited praise. As given last evening, we think it was in some respects even Setter than before. Mr. Collier's long experience has enabled liim to soloct a company that, with very few exceptions, could not well be improved upon, and it is very seldom that a Cincinnati audience has the chance to enjoy so exquisite a dramatic treat aa that of last night. Mr. Frank V. Bangs now has the leading character, "John Strebelow," and playa it in a tnanner worthy of his line refutation. Tho "Count" received, in the hands of Signor Majironi, most artistic treatment, and lie became at onco a favorite. Dear old "Baggage" (why did not tho author give us more of him?) .was impersonated by Mr. Harold Fosberg,' in a manner that stamps him one of the best character actonf of the day. Mr. Tllton,-the old Cincinnati favorite, was of course excellent as the "Banker." and Mr. and Mrs. Walcot as "Phippe" and "Mre. Brown," were most humorous and happy. Miss-Anna Boyle Is the "Lillian," and, as we hav^ before remarked in these columns, has undeniable talent. The remainder of the cast is uny equal to that of last season, but we have not the space thiB morning to make special mention. The scenery anu appointments are finrtcloss, tho scenes at the iiouse of the American Minister and the Duel in the Snow receiving rounds of applause.

On Thursday cvoriing "OurFlirtaticpi" combination will occupy the stage, and will give the audience an evening of lively fun. Tho reader may iuqoire what is "Onr Flirtations?" Tho Hejiding Times and Dispatch tells us:

This is a light, three-act comedy, abounding with music and comical situations, was rendered by the Mack&y-SylvesWr company at the Academy, last evening, to a largo audience. The play opens in the inter rior of a drawing-room oar, where seven! flirtations are indulged in, and a fow seenet ana occur between tho passengers Seeker," au old maiu, a protean character well takfen by Louise Sylvester, who also appears as Laura Lightlieart. The tlirtaqoas are then transferred from the car to the woods, where a number of duets aro suae in good stylo and a rather short diuiuBf is served. The performance winds up wmi a flirtation dance and a happy dendtmefit Tho work and snap of ^Flirtations" Is mffm tained by the trio—Mackay, Hammond (Utel Louise Sylvester. Mr. Mackay, duriug tho

On Friday evening W. C. Mitchell's Pleasure party will reproduce .the laughable extravaganza of "Our Goblins or Fun on the Rhine." Many of our readers remember with pleasure its appearance here last season. Says the Mew York World: "Our Goblins" is a soooas. It comprises the usual melange of original, light, eommonplace and respectable old music It is replete with jokes, puns and local hits, to which are added some clever imitations of various well known artists, and a very travagant story. Some American have a picnic lunch one of the nightmare, which gives

on the Rhine, and while at io party falls asleep and has a ion gives the other characters

an opportunity of retnrnl BaronesMS of the good old gory type. 1 in all, "Oar Goblins" makes an and laugh heartily for over two hours, pleoe that can accomplish this in the mar may be well accounted a success

For the remainder of this month there is booked Agnes Robertson on the Vth, Oomley-Barton "Lawn Tennis" oombi nation on the 26th, Joe Murphy on the 29th, and John T. Raymond comes the night after.

Tne wife of Mr. W. T. Harris, of the Nick Roberts Humpty Dumpty troupe, is a daughter of Brigham Young. Her name is Louise, and she is the daughter of the seventeenth wife.

Twenty-eight thousand dollars' worth of tickets were sold to the Sara Bernhardt show during the first half honr after the box office waa opened. Sara's four half orphans were born with a silver spoon in their monthsi in harfng a mother so attractive.

There is a revival of popularity in Yankee plays and characters on the stage. About ten yean ago the liking for them faded out almoet entlitiy and even John Owen's Solon Shingla eeaaed to draw anywhere. Now the largeet theatres in the country are filled by Denman Thompeon's Joshua Whitcomb, Charles L. Davia's Alvin Joalin, Barney Macauley's Uncle Danl, and Neil Burgesa'a Widow Bedott, and all these arerharactars of the old fashioned Yankee kind.

Moat actors forget about readily as they learn, and a few days will often suffice to destroy their perfect memory of a role. On a recent voyage from Europe, John McCullough and Rose Cochlan were aboard, and the paasengers, on getting up an entertainment, put them down for a scene from "Macbeth." Although Macbeth la one of McCnllough's star part*, and Miss Ooghlan had not long before acted Lady Macbeth, they were unable to recall the language with angthing like accuracy, and, as there wssut a copy of the play on the steamer, the performance had to be omitted.
