It will be Grant and'Blaine or Grant and

wishes in the premises.

Now, by St. George, it was a dark horse
in Mississippi. And there will be wailing
and gnashing of teeth among the stal
warts of the north because it wasn't J.
Davie.

The only sure thing in regard to the rail
road muddle is that Colo’s friends acted in
bad faith. Similar charges have been
brought against some of the most renown

Ridden by repudiators; kicked to death
by railway monopolies and combinations;
what is the remedy for Tennessee? Hon

[Bainbridgo Democrat.]
Mr. J. H. Estill, of Savannah, is one of
the noblest men in Georgia. He is, we be
lieve, identified with every good and char
itable institution of his city. We would
like to vote for him for governor; he would
honor the office.
[Baltimore American.]
Judge George, the democratic senator of
Mississippi, is said to be one of the ablest
lawyers in the state, and his friends say
that “he never speaks without having
something to say, and stops when he has
said it.” If all the democratic senators,
were as eccentric, the silence in the senate
would be almost painful.
(Constitution.]
The resignation of Judge Bleckley will
surprise those who expected to see him
pass all his active years on the bench.
Whether he became tired of doing a great
deal of work for a small pay, or whether
he has other professional plans, or wheth
er other reasons led to his resignation, the
state has lost from her highest court, a
great lawyer; and her only consolation is
found in the fact that Governor Colquitt
has put in his place a jurist of high rank
and reputation.
[Chronicle & Sentinel, 27lh -Tan.]
The Hfcuse llepresetatives of yesterday
dealt Mr. Rutherford B. Hayes thesquarest
blow between the eyes that a'President of
the United States ever received from either
branch of the National Legislature. By a
vote of one hundred and seventy-five to
sixty-two, more than two-thirds, the House
solemnly declared “that in negotiating a
commercial treaty to iix duties the Presi
dent had been guilty of an infraction of the
Constitution and an invasion of the highest
prerogative of the House." The resolution
was offered by a Republican, Judge Kelly,
and must have been voted for by members
of both political parties. What is Mr.
Hayes going to do about it? As a disinter
ested adviser we should say, resign.
I London Letter in the Chicago Times.]
I had as good a view of Her Majesty’s
features as possible at a distance of about
thirty paces in a railway depot not too lib
erally lighted with gas. She is not so tall
as she looks in the photographs and stand
ard paintings. She is decidedlj r below the
ordinary height, not so stout as I have oft
en heard described but what I should call
one of the “comfortable” build. Her Maj
esty was dressed in very deep mourning,
with an abundance of crape. Her head cov
ering was a sort of crape coronet bat; her
dress was long behind and looped up in
front, and covered with crape, and she
wore, well as I could discern, a black cloth
jacket, square cut. If site carried any jew
elry it was of the simplest description;
none of it was visible, and one of her hands
was ungloved.
REX. GRANT REFORMED.
Mr. Drew, in Ids address at Atlanta, said
he apologized for telling an incident which
occurred when General Gi ant was in Savan
nah and said he had no intention insodoing
of starting a Grant “boom.” General Grant
and party, accompanied by the Mayor of
Savannah, city officers and distinguished
citizens, went down the river on an excur
sion. Mr. Drew was also on the boat.
Baskets of line wine had been provided for
the occasion. XVhen the wine was offered
to General Grant he said, “No I thank you.”
He was several times importuned to par
take of the beverage, but invariably made
the same reply, “No I thank you.” At last
the mayor said to Grant: “General, you
will do me an especial honor by drinking a
glass of wine with me.” Grant did not
say, “No, I thank you," this time, but
simply said, “No I have not partaken of
wine or liquor for a long time.” General
Grant’s son. .who accompanied his father,
afterward told Mr. Drew that the general
had left off drinking since ho first started
on his trip around the world. Mr. Drew
said he only related this as an example of a
man who had been a notorious drinker and
who had now reformed.
[Nashville American.!
Both carefully avoid the finances, both
are silent as to the tariff, both avoid the
framing of any well delined foreign policy,
and it is clear that for some time yet, busied
with domestic affairs, we shall have no time
for foreign policy in our politics, unless
circumstances force the subject on cur at
tention. The simple truth is, that both
parties are sadly divided on every question
that can possibly arise in politics, except
alone the relations of the states and the
federal government. Those who are weary
of those questions and the continual iter
ation of well-worn arguments, are ready to
say that tiiis issue is wholy impracticable,
impossible and undesirable, perhaps all
these; but which is the more likely, that
the two parties will join issue upon a ques
tion as to which the members of each a it
the least united, or that they will get some
issue between them as to which neither can
count o%uniting its own strengh? It is en
tirely possible that all this may change; we
only point out what is to-day. One party
may adopt a new line of policy and think
to leave the other standing on this old well-
worn issue, but it only appears now that
both avoid this as well as all other issues,
while both can command a united strength
only on this one.
BAYARD, THE HARMONIZES.
[Nashville American.]
Bayard is chairman of the senate finance
committee. He used his position as such,
a few months ago, to forbid the United
States senate to vote upon a question relat
ing to silver—hard money. Then lie com
mended silence in the Senate when the
people’s branch of the congress had pass
ed a bill, and when the senate asked per
mission to vote for it. Bayard strangled
the bill in committee, and issued Alio awful,
appalling threat that he would resign his
chairmanship if he was not permitted to
have his own way. Bayard is an harmon-
izer upon another financial question, forces
a light in his own committee, and will not
permit the question to remain inside the
committee-room. He is beaten in his own
committee, and is absolutely certain to be
beaten in his open senate but being in favor
of harmony lie forces a democratic quarrel j
in open senate after having been beaten in j
committee. He appears as the pestiferous
preacher of a doctrine which the republi
cans in congress had dropped as they '
would drop a a piece of iron not quite red j
hot, and a doctrine to which a far greater
fraction, a great majority, indeed, of the
democratic are, unalterably opposed. This
is the policy of Bayard, the harmoniaer.

New 1’ork, Jan. 23rd, 1830.
While General Newton is daily and unos
tentatiously exploding mines under the
reefs at Hell Gate, and English miners are
blown at the rate of 1,000 a year, according
to the latest statistics, while excavating
coal, we have been treated to a similar dis
aster on a smaller scale on board an ocean
steamship while being docked on its arrival
from across the Atlantic. Some incautious
’longshoremen took a lighted lantern into
one of the coalbuukers of the National
Steamship Greece, and the gas generated
by the soft Welsh coal, and confined by the
utter absence of any sort of ventilation, ex
ploding, killing one man outright, mortal
ly wounding two others and severely in
juring a number more, including Capt.
Brackett, the well-known secret service
federal officer, who was in the very act of
making an important seizure of smuggled
silk. It is feared the Captain will lose the j
sight of both liis eyes.
The spasmodic virtue of the New York j
police has been exhibited again in the
shape of their favorite raids. The noto*|
nous The. Allen keeps a dance house and !
groggery in Bleekcr street. The frequent- |
ers are not all of the low class one would
suppose would haunt such a place. At any
rate, many who drop in are only occasion
al visitors, and are mainly attracted by
curiosity. The other evening tiie place
was surrounded, and some three hundred
male and femalo prisoners made. Unless
they audaciously took the names of distin
guished people in vain, it is astonishing
how many namesakes of prominent war
riors and statesmen were victims of the
occasion. One young gentleman had evi
dently forgotten the false name lie had
given, and was fined double in consequence.
He was dazed by sitting too long under the
juniper tree.

REUNITED.
The front door of a neat house, of mode
rate pretensions, just outside of an Indiana
town, was hastily opened as night was com
ing on and a man was thrust violently into
the street or, rather, the road.
The man who was ejected was young,
and might have been handsome had it not
been for the dissipated appearance of liis
features and the untidiness or his dress.
At the moment ho was evidently intoxica
ted.
The man who ejected him was an elderly
gentleman, whose face was red with honest
indignation, which also showed itself in his
voice and his language.
Albert XX'akely was a lawyer of ability
and promise when he married John Byrd’s
Of course your readers have heard about ; daughter Mary, although ho had already
the mysterious murder of a young lady of
too easy virtue in Prince street, on tiie
next block to the station-house where pre
sides “Lightning Charlie,” one of the
smartest police captains in America. It
bids fair to rank with the historic Nathan
and Burdell murders in interest. The girl
was apparently robbed, but more valuable
articles than any missed were left behind.
No noise was heard, though in the room
below reclined a sleepless invalid. Alto
gether, it is a very strange case, and will
contracted a fondness for drink.
This passion did not abate after liis mar
riage, but grew upon him, and at the birth
of his boy he had become no better than a
loafer, sheltering himself with his wife in
the house of his father-in-law, to whom liis
family looked for all the necessaries of
life.
John Byrd was not the man to patiently
endure his son-in-law’s worthlessness and
illtreatment of liis wife, and at last, when
XVakely came crawling into the house aft<
exercise the keenest ingenuity of tiie de- a prolonged absence and debauch, he open
ed the door and expelled him forcibly.
“Go off!” he exclaimed with his voice full
of anger. “Go off, Albert XVakely, and nev
er darken my doors again! You have no
longer a home here, and you shall never
set your foot in my house after this.”
XVakely murmured something about
wanting to see his wife.
“She don’t want to see you. She Is no
tectives to unravel.
It is estimated that no less than $1U0,000,-

tration. XYhile many hundreds of the
smaller fry of companies are butting rates
and ruining each other, and becoming ut
terly unreliable from their rabid scramble
for scanty earnings during their precari
ous existence, sucli corporations as “The
Home,” for instance, keep steadily accu
mulating funds and adding to their reserve
even during the darkest periods of depres
sion. During the early portion of last year
there were some terrible tires, not only in
the dry goods district in New York (by far
the richest district in the city,) but in vari
ous parts of the country. Of course tiie
largest and strongest companies have
their lull share of the loss. On examina
tion of a report just published by the
“Home,” I see that they not only continue
to pay their regular dividends, but have
already recovered their loss by these great
tires, and present as strong an array of
undoubted assets as ever for tiie protection
of iheir many customers.
I told you some time ago of the enormous
sale of New York Central Stock by X'an-
derbilt to a syndicato. These bonds are
now offered in general market by the great
operators in parcels to suit, and they await
bids, of course intending to clear a com
fortable little profit by the transaction.
Tiie too-.nffectionato clergymen have been
frolicking lately in a very exuberant man
ner. A Methodist minister lias just been
acquitted of immorality, but rebuked for
indiscretion in promiscuous kissing by a
conclave of his brethren. A German cler
gyman has lieen obliged to sever liis con
nection with his highly respectable con
gregation in Hoboken because of a fatherly
interest in his good-looking cook, exem
plified as usual, by kissing; and another
Hoboken minister, a youth of eloquence,
with tender whiskers and a tender heart,
was hunted out of hi? very pleasant board
ing house at the point of a revolver by an
irate husband who heard him trying to in
duce liis wife to elope.
A good business for street railroad com
panies to keep out of, and one in which they
have shown great proficiency, attained by
constant practice, is that of running over
people. A small boy who was crippled by
the carelessness of a horse ear driver lias
just recovered $15,000 damages. A few
more such swinging verdicts will impress
the soulless corporations with some re
gard for the Jives and limbs of pedestrian
citizens.
A pretty good hit at the pompous parties
who are always going to reform polities
and usually fail in tiie most lamentable
manner, lias been made by a grocer in one
of our least savory localities, namely, Ave-
nuo A, more commonly known as Dutch
Broadway, where the least aristocratic of
our German fellow Citizens do greatly con
gregate irt multitudes. He remarks that a
taxpayers’association is “an organization
for the employment ot a lawyer and t# lis
ten to each other.”
The ocean suburbs of Brooklyn are to be
improved in a marvelous way. Two colos
sal enterprises are now under way. One is
to improve the far-famed and formerly
fashionable watering place, Rockaway
Beach, to the extent of $5,000,00(1, a promi
nent feature being a mammoth hotel some
two-thirds of a mile long, with all the ap
purtenances suggested by the late success
at Coney Island. The other scheme is a
new railroad to connect New York direct
with Coney Island by a circuitous route in
volving the bridging of tiie List River at
Blackwell s Island. And no doubt there
will bo mints of money in both of them.

CENSUS RETURNS.
The Supervisors of Census, will begin
their work on the first Monday in June, and
it may be well to caution persons with whom
they come in business relations of the severe
penalty initiated on those who obstruct
them in the performances of their duty. The
law says:
“All persons above tlio ages of 21 years who
shall refuse to furnish the information re
quired by the supervisor as enumerated,
shall forfeit and pay a sum not exceeding
$100 to be recovered in an action of debt.
Presidents, directors or other officials of
private corporations who refuse to furnish
information required of them ate made
liable to a penalty not to exceed $10,000.
Tiie old man went back into the house ami
closed and locked the door, while the young
one stumbled up the road, his hat over In's
eyes, and his faculties apparently dazed.
He thus wandered on, never looking up,
nor glancing to the right or the left, stupid
and purposeless, until he reached the bank
of a stream.
Ignoring the bridge, ho would have walk-
oil into the water if he had not been seized
and forcibly restrained by a man who had
noticed his strange movements.
“XVhat, XVakely, is this you? XVhnt are
you doing? XVhere are you going?"
“I don’t know,” was the sleepy reply.—
“XVhere am I?”
“You would now be in the water if I had
not stopped you. You have been drinking,
XVakely. Come, let me take you home.”
At this word XVakely suddenly straight
ened himself up, raised liis hat and pushed
the hair from his eyes.
“Home!” he exclaimed. “I have no
home.”
In response to tiie wondering questions
of the other lie related, more lucidly than
might have been oxpected, the story of his
expulsion from John Byrd’s house.
“That’s nothing,” said his friend. “Come
to town with me, and straighten up, and it
will all be light in the morning.”
“It will never be light, Mr. Henderson,”
replied XVakely. “This is the end of it. I
have been driven out and I deserve it, and
I will never set foot in John Byrd’s house
again. That is not all. I will never drink
another drop of liquor as long as I live, so
help me heaven!” •
“Don’t bo rash. It is a good thing to quit,
but you will have to ease off, you know.”
“Never! I will not touch another drop if j
I die for it. I mean to leave here aad to i
lead a new life under a new name.”
“If you really mean that, XVakely, I can i
put you in the way to make a man of your- j
self. I am going to Colorado. Go with me
and I will pay your way and help you to
make your own start in life.”
“If you will do that, Mr. Henderson, you
witi earn my lifelong gratitude.”
XVhen John Byrd reentered his house he
found his daughter Mary sobbing as if her
heart would break.
“What have you done, father?” she asked.
“What have you done?”
“I have driven away that worthless vaga
bond.” lie roughly replied, “and have order
ed him never to darken my doors again.”
“You might have given him another
chance. He is my husband, and lie is the
father of my child.”
“He has had chance enough. He shall
not be your husband much longer. He shall
torture you no more. I will get a divorce
for you.”
“I want no divorce,” sobbed Mary.
‘You don’t know what you want. You
need a divorce and you shall have it. I have
taken this matter into my own hands.—
XVorsham is ready and anxious to marry
you.”
******* *
Six years have passed since Albert Wake-
ly was summarily ejected from the house
of his father-in-law.
At the mouth of a canon in Southern Colo
rado, where the tortured torrent that lias
passed through the cleft in the mountains
becomes a placid stream as it debouches on
a broad and fertile valley, a single “prairie
schooner” has stopped, and its driver, a
rude, red-shirted fellow, is seen in conver
sation with an old man, who is evidently
expostulating with him in vain.
“It’s no use,” said the driver at last; “I’ve
gone as fur as your money will justify, and
furder, and here I mean to quit. If von ev
er expect to stop anywhere this is as good
a place as you will find. If you want either
work or help General Chance is likely to
givoitto you.”
“Does he own this valley?” asked the old
man.
He owns ever so many acres of land, the
San Benito silver mine and more horses,
cattle and sheep than you kin count. But
here comes one or his ranchmen, and I will
i turn you over to him. The driver explain
ed the circumstances of his “freight” to the
ranchman who requested the old man to
accompany him to “the house,” and the lat
ter patiently complied with the request
leading by the hand a bright little boy.
They soon readied the house and were
ushered into the presence of its owner, a
tall fine looking man with his face covered
by a heavy board and his eyes shaded by
“My daughter, Mrs. XX’orsham, and her
child.”
“Widow, I suppose?”
“Her husband is dead, sir,” patiently re
plied Byrd, although he resented the tone
of these inquiries.
“First husband, or second?”
“Mr. XX’orsham was her second husband.
She had been married to a drunken, worth
less vagabond whom I was compelled to
drive away.”
“Quite right, Mr. Byrd—exactly right.
What became ot the vagabond?”
“Ldon’t know.”
“Died, I suppose. It is of no consequence
what became of him. Then a divorce fol
lowed?”
“Yes, sir. I insisted upon a divorce a-
gainst my daughter’s wish, and she mar
ried Mr. XVorsham, a well-to-do man. But
bad luck fastened upon us and never let
go. Mr. XVorsham died insolvent, and one
reverse after another swept away my little
property and I was forced to come out here
to try to begin life again. It is a hard task
sir. for an old man.”
“I should say so. You ought to have re
mained among your friends. XVhat boy is
that?”
“My grandson,” faintly replied Byrd,
who was weary of this stylo of question
ing.
“Son of the vagabond, or of Worsham?”
“Albert is the son of my daughter’s first
husband.”
“I have taken a fancy to him. You want
a home, and I will tell you what I will do.
Give me that boy and I will give you a fine
ranch, well stocked, with everything you
need to make you comfortable. Is it a bar
gain?”
“Do you expect me to trade off my daugh
ter’s child!” indignantly demanded Byrd.
“I forgot about her. Of course she has an
interest in him. Suppose you ask her. She
ought to be willing to accept a comfortable
home for life, when she knows that the boy
will be well provided for.”
“I will bring her here, if you wish.”
, “No; I don’t want to see any women
folks. Ask her, and bring me word.”
“I will ask her,” replied the old man;
“but I know well what her answer will
be.”
John Byrd soon returned, and informed
General Chaneethat Mrs. XVorsham had re
fused to accept liis offer, declaring that she
would rather die than be parted from her
boy.
“X’ery well,” said that gentleman.—
“That is all I have to say to you. You may
go.”
John Byrd sadly left the house, and its
owner signed to the ranchman to remain.
“Mr. Whipps,” said he, “I wish you would
follow tiiat old man. Take him and his
family down to Hiller’s ranch, which is va
cant, and settle them there. Supply them
witli stock, provisions and everything they
need to make them comfortable, and let me
know if money is needed.”
So John Byrd and his little family, great
ly to their surprise, were settled and made
more than comfortable.
There was nothing to trouble them but
the uncertainty of their tenure and the fear
that a new direction might be taken by the
peculiar disposition of their strange bene
factor, who would not allow Mrs. XVorsham
to come near liis house, saying that he
“didn’t want to see any women-folks.”
He only endured her father, but was very
friendly to the boy, whom he presented with
a fine pony and a saddle. For his own part,
he seemed determined not to show his face
at tiie Hiller ranch.
Providence, however, was disposed to set
aside this determination.
As he was returning one day' from a dis
tant stock-farm Jiis horse shied and threw
him near the Hiller ranch, dragging him for
some distance by the stirrup. He was car
ried into Mr. Byrd’s house, where it was
discovered that his head and face were so
badly cut and bruised that it would be ne
cessary to remove his hair and beard.
XVhen this operation had been performed
Mrs. XVorsham came into the room for the
purpose of helping to dress Ids yvounds,
and fairly shrieked as she saw him.
“Albert XVakely!” she exclaimed. “Is it
really you.
“Yes, Mary, it is I,” quietly' replied Gen
eral Chance. “If you are going to do any
thing for me, please do it without a fuss.”
Mary Worsham took care of him, and he
encouraged her attendance. XVhen he yvas
stronger he spoke to her more freely'.
“Mary, did you really object to a divorce
and to your second marriage?”
“Yes, Albert, I never loved any man but
tiie father of my child, in spite of his groat
fault, ar d I objected everything tiiat could
injure you. But you ought not to blame
father. He meant to act for the best."
“I don’t blame him. It was for the best.
It made a man of me and I am, as I ought
to be, del-ply grateful to him. Mary, that
is a line boy of ours.”
Within a month there was a wedding on
the Sait Benito estate which was made such
an occasion of rejoicing as to lx* long re
membered in tiiat region. The contracting
parties were XVuiter Chance, as lie was still
determined to be known, and Mary, widow
of Abram XVorsham.
A DINNER WITH FERNANDO WOOD.
Mr. .J. R. Randall, tiie accomplished
XVashington correspondent of the Augusta
ChronicleSentinel, thus alludes to a re
cent reception at the palatial residence of
Hon. Fernando XX’ood, of New York :
The most noted event of the season was
Hon. Fernando XX r ood’s reception. It was
given principally’ for Congressmen, officers !
of Congress, and a few journalists. Mr.
XVooil is Chairman of the Committee on ,
XVays and Means, and to the members of
liis committee and their families, lie is spe
cially gracious. He is a tall, stately man ;
with a white moustache of imposing pro- j
portions, and his clothes of simple e'egance ]
fit him like the regulation suit of a grena- i
dier. Lord Chesterfield, in all his glory, j
was not a more punctilious gentleman than i
Mr. XX’ood. He resides in one of the grand,
palatial mansions of XVashington, which is
furnished in agreement with the wealth of
the loro proprietor. Everybody'came in a
carriage and everybody of the masculine
gender wore a swallow-tail coat and a white
satin necktie. XVhite kid gloves were indis
pensable. Some of tiie men would have
looked better in a less fashionable raiment,
but they dared not become conspicuous in
that way’. Such of them as refused to con
form to the vigorous edict of Mayfair re
mained away and went to bed at 9 o’clock.
Very’ Hew remained away from terrapin,
• fried oysters, salad and champagne ad lib.
The floral display was superb. Tiie whole
entertainment must have cost many’ thou
sands of dollars. Georgia and South Caro
lina were out in style, but not in full force.
Senator Hill came with the family of Sena
tor Davis, of XVest Virginia. Senator Gor
don escorted Hiss Kerr, of Memphis, whose
beauty’ yvas commented on witli rapture.—
Dr. Felton and his popular, accomplished
and noble wife were the centres of an ad
miring throng. Mrs. Felton was tiie only’
Georgia matron present. The Georgia
young ladies looked elegantly and acquitted
themselves beautifully. Miss Laura Speer,
handsome, intellectual and queenly’, leaned
proudly and affectionately on the arm of
her gifted brother. She was arrayed in black
silk, with white flowers. Hon. N. J. Ham
mond accompanied his daughter, a charm
ing brunette, who wore a dainty pink satin
dri'ss. Miss Richardson, of South Carolina,
was one of the reigning belles of the even
ing, for wit and loveliness. Miss Maud
Bailey and Miss Acklen illustrated Tennes
see divinely. They’ were among the bright
est and comeliest in that “rosebud garden
of girls.”

The Leonard Scott Publishing Co., 41
Barclay Street, N. Y., have issued their
reprint of Blackwood's Magazine for Jan
uary, and the present number is one of
unusual interest. Perhaps the paper
which invites the most attention is in the
form of a letter written by’ a Turk who is
highly educated and has been an extensive
traveller. In view of the coi. tern plated re
forms in Asia Minor liis theory’ as to the
origin and nature of the collision between
the East and the XX’est is well worth con
sidering; and it will be a surprise to many
to hear the opinion of an intelligent man
that “the consequence of the arrival of the
so-called Christain in a heathen country is,
not to bring immortal life, but physical
and moral death,” and that “from first to
last the woes of Turkey iiave been due to its
contact with modern Christendom.”
Other articles area continuation of “Bush
Life in Queensland,” in which tho interest
is well sustained. This number describes
the sheep washing and shearing, horse-
breaking, and a fearful ride bare-backed on
an “untamed fiery” bull; and “How I Fell
among Thives,” an amusing appeal to leg
islative aid to protect the unwary from
being trapped into making wedding pres
ents.
There is a long review of the Roman Bre

votions which are binding on their clergy
and on the members of the various religious
orders.

complete a very attractive number of tiiis fa

THE INNOCENT OLD MAX.
The other day the police at the Union de
pot noticed a feeble looking old man wan
dering in and out to kill time until his
train should depart, and as he several times
displayed quite a roil of liiiis, he was cau
tioned to lookout for pickpockets and con
fidence men.
“XVonldn’t anybody rob an old man
like me, would they’?” he innocently ask
ed.
The warning was repeated, but he jog
ged around as before, and after a time was
seen in consultation with two strangers who
had walked liim around to the wharf. An
officer got, him away from them and angri
ly said:
“Didn’t I warn you aga’nst strangers?
Those fellows are after your money !”
“But how can they got it when I have
it in my pocket and my hand on it all tiie
time?”
“Well, yot*look out."
“Yes I will look out: but I don’t want to
be uncivil. XYlicn anybody talks to me I
like to talk back.”
The strangers soon had him on the string
again, and in about a quarter of an hour
they left him in a hurried manner, and he
sauntered into the depot with his wallet in
his hand.
“There! You’ve let ’em beat you!” ex
claimed the officer. “How much did you
lend them.”
“Wall, they wanted $29,” lie slowly re
plied.
‘And you handed it over of course?”
“I give ’em a $50 bill and got $30 back.”
“Well, y’ou’ll never see that bill again.”
“I kinder hope not!” lie chuckled, as lie
drew down liis eye. "It was a coun
terfeit, which my sou found in Troy, and
being as I am vqry old and innocent and
not up to the tricks of the wicked world,
I guess I’ll git into the cars before some
body robs me of my boots! If any one
should come around looking for me, please
say’ I’m not at home!”

THE DOLL’S WEDDING.
[Harper’s Young People.]
I am so glad that the sunshine has driven
the clouds away,
For my doll, my’charming dolly, Is going
to be married to-day.
She has a great many suitors—a dozen, I
do declare*-
Aud only last week, XYednesday, she refus
ed a millionaire.
Sophie Read is his mother; she thought
we’d feel so grand
That a doll with a diamond stud should of
fer my child his hand.
But Rose cares little for money’, and she’s
given her heart awa y
To Charlie, the gallant sailor, who will make
her his bride to-day. *
Nora lias made her a bride-cake with frost
ing as white as snow,
And I wove her a bridal wreath from the
tiniest flowers that blow;
And brother Harry has promised (he’s ev
er so kind, I’m sure,)
To leuil them liis beautiful yacht when they
sail on their wedding tour.
We make believe it’s the ocean, the lake in
the park, you know;
Aud Charlie, the little sailor, is so delighted
to go.
Oh, my! he does look cunning in his suit of
navy blue.
His mother my most particular friend, is
Nellie Drew.
Look! they are coming, Mary. Oh, they
are a lovely’ pair!
Charlie tiie black-eyed sailor, and Rose
with her golden hair.
Doesn't she look like a fairy’ peeping out
from a fleecy cloud,
In tiiat lovely dress and veil? But wo
musn’t talk out loud.
If I could squeeze out a tear—I suppose it’s
the proper thing,
Since she is my only’ child—but indeed I
would rather sing.
For the sun is shining brightly, and every
thing seems gay,
And to Charlie, the dear little sailor, my
dolly is married to-day.
THE EVERLASTING HILLS.
The hills! the everlasting hills!
How peerlessly they rise,.
Like earth’s gigantic sentinels,
Discoursing in tho skies.
Hail! Nature’s storm-proof fortresses.
By Freedom's children trod:
Hail! the invulnerable walls,
The Masonry of God!
Glorious y’e are, when Noon's iierce beams
Your naked summits smite.
As o’er y’e, Day’s great lamp hangs poised
In cloudless chrysolite;
Glorious when o’er ye sunset clouds.
Like broidered curtains tie—
Sublime, when through dim moonlight
looms
Your special majesty.
XXTicn the dismantled pyramids
Shall blend with desert dust,
XVhen every temple “made with hands"
Is faithless to its trust.
Ye shall not stoop your Titan crests—
Magnificent as now!
’7’ill your Almighty architect
In thunder bids you bow!
Little Hands to Begin the Battle
Alone.
[Detriot Free Press.]
I was walking down one of Detroit’s
beautiful avenues on a lovely afternoon
last week. In front of an ivy-wreathed
doorway sat an old woman knitting. A
sunny’-haired little girl ran through the
hall and down the steps irto tho street
carrying her doll. Her curls had fallen
over her eyes and she stumbled and fell.
I had her in my arms in an instant. The
smile that revealed her pretty dimples and
snow-white teeth told mo tiiat she was
neither hurt nor frightened. .
“XVhat is your name, little one?”
“Aintdot any.”
“Haven’t any' name? Is that aunty on
tiie porch?”
“No, ’at’s dau’ma.”
“XVell, what does grandma call you?”
“S’e tails me Puss: but s’e tails ’e tat
pass, too.”
“Aud what does mamma call you?”
“S’e doesn’t tall menuflin’—s’e’s done ’ay
off.”
“Gone away off where?”
“To 6ce papa.”
“And where is papa?”
“Up here.”
And she pointed to the sky’ rosy with the
sunset’s glow.
“XVhen did mamma go?”
“ ’E snow was on ’e dround, and s’e went
in a sleigh wivout any bells on ’e horses,
and dautna c’ied.”
I am not ashamed to own that tears filled
my eves as I kissed the child and turned
away, for I, too, had my graves in child
hood.
Hero is a curious incident of tiie inunda
tion in tiie province of Murcia, Spain: The
water-spout which inundated over forty
square kilometres was pushed by a terri
ble simoon, and carried salt water a dis
tance of thirty’ kilometres from tiie sea
board, the lightning flashed incessantly,
followed by peals or thunder. A child was
found floating on the waters in its cradle;
it had not suffered the slightest hurt. The
Archbishop of Valencia lias adopted the

THE SUN FOR 1880.
The Sun will deal with the events of tiie tear
1880 in its own fashion, now pretty well under
stood by everybody. From January 1 until i e-
cember31st. will he conducted as a newspaper,
written in the English language, and printed for
the people.
As a newspaper. The Sun believes in getting
all tiie news of the world promptly, and present
ing it in the most intelligible shape—the shape
that will enable its readers to keep well abreast
of the age with the least unproductive expendi
ture of time. Tne greatest interest to the great
est number—that is, the law controlling its daily
make-up. It now has a circulation very much
larger than that of any other American news
paper, and enjoys an income which it is at all
times prepared'to spend liberally for the benefit
of its readers. People of al! conditions of life and
all ways of thinking buy and read The Sun: and
they all derive satisfaction of some sort from Its
columns, for they keep on buying and reading it.
In Its comments on men and affairs. The Sun
believes that the only guide of policy should be
common sense, inspired by genuine American
principles and hacked by honesty of purpose.
For this reason it is, and will continue to be, ab
solutely Independent of party, class, clique, or
ganization, or interest. It is for ail, but of none.
It will continue to praise what is good and re
probate what is evil, taking care that its lan
guage is to the point and plain, beyond tiie possi
bility of being misunderstood. It is uninfluenced
by motives that do not appear on the surface; it
has no opinions to sell, save those which may be
hfld by any purchaser with two cents, it hates
injustice and rascality even more than it hates
unnecessary words. It abhors frauds, pities
fools, and deplores nincompoops of every species.
It will continue throughout the year IssO to chas
tise the first class, instruct the second, and dis
countenance the third. All honest men, with
honest convictions, whether sound or mistaken,
are Its friends. And The Sun makes no bones of
telling the truth to its friends and about its
friends whenever occasion arises for plain speak
ing.
These are the principles upon which The Sun
will be conducted during the year to come.
The year 1880 will he one in which no patriotic
American can afford to close his eyes to public af
fairs. It is impossible to exaggerate the impor
tance of the political events which it has in store,
or the necessity of resolute vigilance on tho part
ofeverv citizen who desires to preserve the Gov
ernment that the founders gave us. The debates
and acts of Congress, the utterances of the press,
the exciting contests of the Republicans and
Democratic parties, now nearly equal in strength
throughout the country, the varying drift of pub
lic sentiment, will all bear directly and effective
ly upon the twenty-fourth Presidential election,
to be held in November. Four years ago next
November the will of the nation, as expressed at
the polls, was thwarted by an abominable con
spiracy. the promoters ami beneficiaries of wli ich
still hold the offices they stole. Will the crime of
1876 be repeated in 1S807 The past decade of years
opened with a corrupt, extravagant, and inso
lent Administration intrenched at Washington.
The Sun did something towards dislodging the
gang and breaking its power. The same men are
now intriguing to restore their leader and them
selves to places from which they were driven by
the indignation of the people. Will they succeed'
The coming year will bring the answers to these
momentous questions. The Sun will be on hand
to chronicle the facts as they are developed, and
to exhibit them clearly and fearlessly in their re
lations to expediency and right.
Thus, with a habit of philosophical good humor
in looking at the minor affairs of life, and in
great things a steadfast purpose to maintain the
rights of the people and the principles of the Con
stitution against all aggressors, The Snn is pre
pared to write a truthful, instructive, and at tiie
same time entertaining history of 1880.
