We understand that same Derno- iratlc headlight which discovered that here were only 175 persons present at he recent Republican meeting in this )lace, also discovered that Mr. Burrell, at the meeting in question, located Belchaazar's feast at Jerusalem. The 800 people who heard Mr.

Burrell do not remember that he located the feast at all, inasmuch as, addressing an intelligent audience, it was iot necessary. If Grover were asked where the feast took place, he would no doubt say at Red Top, remembering the occasion of Chairman Brice's visit when hailed the National Wonder as the 'Fat Sphinx," and when the ever-faithful Daniel was called upon in vain to give i satisfactory interpretation of the hand writing on the wall.
