That Hired Gri. From the Sedalia Bazoo. Young Gradden called it a cornet, and it was made in Vienna. Last summer he used to get on top of the house and draw his cornet up by a} strinz. Then his solos would peal out on the midnight air so soft, so sweet, so enchanting, that the whole neighborhood on Broadway would put their night-capped heads out of the windows to listen, and telt proud of him if they did not catch He was very caretul with his cornet- a-piston, and always steod it on the buteau with its bell up. The hired girl brought a pound of lard in a pa- per from the grocery, yesterday, and Jaid it on the bell of the cornet while she stooped down to tie her shoe But the coffee pot boiled over in the next room, and she burried in just in The lard was warm to time to save it. and sank dewn into the cornet blush unseen and forgotten. Young Gradden brought the new minister home to dinner, because the Jatter wanted to hear him play. And when the girls in the neighborhood saw the new minister go into Grad- den’s house, each one went to pay pack Mrs. G. the coffee, sugar and starch they had borrowed, so they could pay their debts, see the new minister and hear the cornet. They all seated themselves in front of him, and he stood up with his left foot thrown out, his, cornet to his mouth, and his fingers sticking up straight in the air over the keys. And he said he would play an air trom La Tyrolean, the first blast ot which awakes the mountaineer on his native peak at early dawn. He drew along breath, distended his cheeks, and then bowing his head and cornet he threw on 263 pounds of wind to the square inch, and blew a terrific blast. A healthy majority of that warm jard hit the new minister square in the face, waile the scattering returns flew over the girls like a Kentucky meat shower. The minister tell over backward 1n his chair, and as, unfortunately, the front door behind him was open, he continued his pilgrimage down the steps on to the sidewalk, with both teet tied up in the chair. His eyes and side-whisk- ers were full of grease, and he got up and ran for his room, but officer Kelley headed him off and he broke | tor Flat creek. The girls went into Mrs. G.’s bedroom, Gradden weat down to the Ga house depot to find out how much a ticket costs to St. Louis. and young son The Good St. John. ago Tribune. Chi “Twill neither work nor vote for Blaine,” said ex-Governor John P. St. John of Kansas, yesterday. ‘It 4s not that I object to Blaine so much asto the platform upon which he stands. I regard it as devoid of principles and made up simply to catch votes. aud consequently I couid not censcientiously support it or the nominees who go with it. It seems well nigh incredible to me that a national republican convention should display such tactics, put such is the case. It constructs a platform in which there is a bid tor the Land League vote. a bid for the wool vote and the anti-Chinese tellows, and, while it touches on all these purely sectional issues, it ignores totally the only real vital issue of the day and the great moral sentiment of the country. We only asked an ex- Pression in tavor ot allowing the people to speak upon the question of prohibition, yet the convention is atraid to do this for fear of antagon- izing the German yote. I can tell them now that the great bulk of the German vote—all that they are go- ing to lose—was against them betore the convention met. The liquor vote is naturally democratic, and very properly so. Their interest hes in that direction. So to catch what it cannot get the republican party has slapped the prohibiti Sentiment ot the country in the face The result will show how sadly it } has erred.
