You will see that ex~Editor Pad- dock of Libertyville, is out as an in- degendent candidate for superintendâ€" emr of schools. Mr. Paddock has had large experience as a teacher, in up- to-date in these marten anda hustler of the first class. He will add life and zest to the campaign whether he wins or not. When we livedin Adams, Mass, we learned of a woman who married her second husband before her first husband’s funeral. Her first part- ner was drowned in the filling up of the Central shaft, 1000 feet deep in- to the solid rock, with water, and it was over a year before it was pump- ed out. Mike’s body recov ered. and the funeral held. Ex-Enrros B. A. Dunn of “'auke- gun is writing a book for boys, 8 story of the war five and thirty years ago, General McClurg will publish it early in October. That reminds us we ought to write a book about Vermont, the mother of statesmen, divinee, editors, etc, etc. The only drawback is, we can‘t spare the mon- ey just now to hire folketo read it. A. W. Fletcher for eherifl' is now ‘ far and away in the lead, and for this reason the people of theeounty want the best man for the place, and they know our Deerfleld candidate has the prime qualifications for that ofice. Solar his campaign has run itself chiefly: the more the people know the man, the better they like him, and hence they want his service in the county shrievalty and we expect he will “get there." E. B. Phillips of Waukégan has been out all over the county of late and says the crop of candidates for ofice is big, very big in some respects. Every cross road and four corners of Lake County has a candidate for sherilf: and the candidates for super- intendent of schools are nearly as numerous. One thing makes Supt. Marvin so popular is the fact “m be has a big hole in his body made by a rebel bullet and _the old "96th” boys never forget such a man. WniLz I was a student in Fairfax, Vermont, at the old New Hampton Institution 1853-1861, I was told a man once went to “Elder” Dunn. and told him he wished to unitewith the church. He said when Deacon“ Shepardson, or some other deacon1 repaired his cellar, he was working for him and took occasion to examine the good deacon’s pork barrels and found them well filled while he had none at home and so he resolved to help himself to a little from the dea- con's barrels that night. When he was poking about in the dark after 'the pork the dog which slept in the shed, heard him and barked and he hurried away minus the pork, as he was running for dear life, as he thought the big dog was at his heels, this scripture came to his mind,“'l‘he dog shall catch the thief at. night,” and therefore he wanted to unite with the church. Elder Dunn sug- gested “further consideration." ed a the post-05in 1! Highland Park, 111., as second ch. utter. FRIDAY, AUGUST 26. in News Building, 255 Ccnml Highhnd Park. Illinois.

Dr. Holmes says, in the “Auto- mt,” we think, that some folks when they call on you have such hard work in getting away from yonrhomethat they seemed to be “built-in" :- part of the house, and so he, styled them built in folks. They are people who call on you and plant themselves in a chair and sit there and talk. and talk, and talk on, as though they would never stop, anddon't'eay much either: the everlasting talkers never do say much,- especially that you, 3 or anyone else cares to hear. They are not eonvereationaliets: theirs is only “a gift of gab" that in as end- less an a belt in a machine shop, I They bore you beyond all account with their ceaseless, meaningless. 3uselees chatter of the tongue. You heave a sigh when you see one of them coming, because their ceaseless boring is as bad or worse than a like length of time in a dentist's chair. with his foot on the pedal of his “Margo-round,” while the drill is “merry-go-round," while me am: In in one of your molars. But the bore babbler it not the worse plus. of it: all filings have an end, except his chatter. He calls on you just because he is restless and having almost no resources in him- self, goes out to bore some one. and his time being of no special value, he seems to think all other people put alike light estimate on the value 0! theirs; so he not only bores you with his meaningless talk. but he don't know when to stop. The idea of do- \ ing his errand, if he really has one,1 and right 05 again so as not to dis- turb you, never occurs to him. Or he will get up and start and get to the door. and then with his hand on the knob stand and talk fifteen to thi y minutes more, and not only rob on of your time, but weary you by standing to hear any nothings. 1They can‘t get away, they seem a part of the house, the same as the door. or the casings: they are “built- ins," and perpetual pests. They not unfrequently tell you they “did not mean to stay so long," etc. The {act is, they had no meaning about it any way. The problem is how to get rid of them: as to being reformed. they are hopeless. These “built-ins" are the bane of a busy man's life. Just as we get down to a book of an evening, one of them comes inâ€"and oh. the “built-ins." For a number of years attempts have been made by patriotic citizens to have a law passed by oongreu to forbid and punish the desecration of the American flag. Bills to thisend have been introduced in congress from time to time. only to slumber peacefully in some committee-room until the end of the term. There is one pending now. but the likelihood of its passage at the short session. when so many measures of vast im- portance are pending, is, to say the fleast, remote. unless some special 3effort is made. preesure upon congress in its behalf. This the Daughtere of the American Revolution have undertaken to eup- What the measure has lacked here- tofore is a concerted and weighty ply, and it is to be hoped that at their annual session in Washington next Fehuar'y, these patriotic dunes and damsels, the descendants of the men who made the flag, who gloried 'in it and achieved independence un- der it, will be able to stimulate neg- lectful congressmen into passing the bill. No ,better'ti‘me an be choeen then the present for this ngiution, when. the war with Spain hue been brought to a close and our flag has been our ried so triumphantly in distant seas and foreign lands. It has won new renown among the notions, Ind ie an emblem of power that the whole world respects. DEGRADATION OF THE FLAG.
