Krenifnl Political Career,
The death of Horatio Seymour, so closely
following that of Oeueral Hancock, brought
to an earthly dose within less than a week the
Ives of two Democratic candidates for Presi
dent. Ex-Governor Seymour died at Utica,
N. Y., on the 18th, at the residence of his
sister, Mrs. ltosco* Conkliug, H * died after
a brief illness, the cause of his death
being cerebral effusion, the iwtal process of
death in old age. Those present when he
passed away were: Mrs. Seymour and her
sister, Mrs. Nelson, of New Brunswick, N-
J.; the ex-governor’s brother, John F. Sey
mour, of Utica; Ids Misters, Mrs. Li nek 1 non

The anti-Chinese disturbance in Washing
ton Territory took such u turn that after the
sauguiuary collision between the militia and
a mob at Seattle, the governor issued
a proclamation putting tho city
under martial law. President Cleve
land was also appealed to, and responded by
issuing a proclamation commanding tho
peace, and ordered Unitod States troops to
thes eneof disturbance. At Olympia, W.

Horatio Seymour took n podGon iu tlio
.'rout rank from the first, nui prising even his
frier Is by the proficient'-v which lie displayed
hi the science of 1-gisiation. Returning
to Utica after tho session he
wa* oiected mayor of that city. The
following winter he was again nominated
for the assembly, and was re-elected in 1m|4,
and made speaker of the house for the
session of 184o. An exciting session of the
legisla*ure followed, iu which the bill for a
constitutional e nvk'iition was itas-ed, and tho
Democracy was di-rapted from one end of
the State to the other.
For the next five years Horatio Hevmour
remained quietly at his home iu Utica,
taking no active |«irt in politics. In 1850,
however, when his |>arty was iu « hope
less minority, he was induced to accept
the Democratic nomination for governor,
and after a very vigorous campaign was
defeated by Washington Hunt, the Whig
candidate, by the scant majority of 202! In
1852, however, lie again ran against the same
opponent and Tompkins, tho Free Moil candi
date. and this time he was sncccssfnl, being
elected by a plurality of 22,500. He entered
ujK.ni his first term as governor during one of
the most exciting |K'iit thin the history of New
York.The advocates of tein|>crancc had gained
a strong hold in the minds of tlie voters,
und were clamoring loudly for a stringent
prohibitory law modeled on that which had
vecoutly been juissod in Maine. Tin* legisla
ture of 1854 |Kissed su h a law, aud Governor
Seymour promptly vetoed it on the ground
that it was unconstitutional. His action cod
him his seat. He wo* renominated in tho
fall <»f 1854, and ran against a Prohibitionist,
a Know-Nothing, and a Free Soil candidate.
The Prohibitionist, Myron 11. Clark, was
elected by it plurality of 5KK1 votes, and Gov
ernor Heymour again retired to private life.
Events were fast moving onward to tlio
great crash of 18(11. Mr. Heymour was ot
tered a foreign mission after tho election of
Buchanan, but declined it, and remained in
retirement until the fnll of 18*12, when tho
term of Edwin D. Morgan, the ilepu lienn
war poveruor of New York, was
ulioiit to close. Horatio Heymour wnn

At tho j»ark. where the nub laid all col

speech wits oven more violent than the others
ho had made. The language was exciting,
and tho whole address was well calculated to
set the crowd loose upon tho town. Hums

gjioakors, who did all iu their
power to stir up strife. When the speaking

many of tho rank aud file were hungry,

DON’T YOU THINK SO?
It's all very well to bo jolly
When everything’s going just right;
When, in Rummer skies showing no hint of
A shadow, the sun's shining bright;
When around you your merry friends cluster
With many a laugh-bringing jest,
And wherever you turn you diawver,
The world in it* gala robe* dreamd
But, eh! ’tis sublime to be jolly
When inirth-loviug spirit* have fled;
When your path is in gloominess shrouded,
And the tomiiest burst* over your head;
When fainter heart* lieg you to cheer them,
Though your own heart lie lonely and drear,
And you scarce can help doubting if ever
The darkness will quite disappear.

The two instruments which Anally van
quished ail others in his regard were the
organ and the violin. His father was a
country clcrgymnn, nnd the lad was
never so happy ns when in the organ-loft
listening to tile tong-swelling bass note,
or tho tender pleading of the Auto-like
stop*. Of course ho wus happiest when
making the music come himself.
Often,
in the soft summer twilight, he would

There nro two powers from which no

It was a desperately severe and pro

to find himself for ever in darkness, the
optic nerves having been withered as by
fire. Tlio blow was, indeed,n terrible one.
Not only had he lost her who was tin-
delight of his eves, but he had lost those
eyes, too. Nothing was left to him then
but his music; for, licforo very long,
with much practice, he got to play near
ly ns well ns in the old days.
He Imre his troubles bravely, but
twenty years did not materially lessen
them. At forty-five he was white-
haired, ami walked witli bowed shoul
ders. Tho face told of sorrow, but not
of bitterness, lie was in Ids forty-sixth
year when lie took tiie position of orgun-

a post he had long desired. He made

A Rascal's Shrewd Trick.
Among the distinguished character*

Frnncisco in the past wns a gentleman
whose baptismal name appears to hav
—llai ~ '
been William Hayes, but who wns popu-
■>y the
arly known among his associates by the
endearing title of “Billy Hayes." This
individual wns a quiet, slock-faced rascal,
who was never known to ehew tobacco,
tn drink, or to give utterance to an oath.
William Hayea began his career as a
skipper of a schooner on tho lakes, regu
larly plying between Cleveland and Buf

mnking many friends by his universal
courtesy and genial manners. Ho was a
man of great originality of character, and

so much older than he really wns. One
early June evening he was practicing, , , , , ,, , ,
when he paused m Ids music, feeling
his first pirntlcai exploit, which marked
ills plunge into crime, committed at this
stage of ids interesting career, waa
unmue in its nature. A prominent and
weulthy gentleman of Cleveland, having
a ten-year old nephew in Buffalo, pur
chased a fine riding |>onv, a blooded ani
mal of great beauty, nnd had him placed
upon tlio schooner to lie delivered in Buf
falo when tlio boat had reached its destl-

Then the tender voire signed to Cujit. Hayes,
he knew so well asked
“May 1 come up?"
“Need you ask? but wait till I hold
you a hand. Those steps nro difficult to
get up I”
“Yes; I should probably get on badly
without your assistance."
In a moment more her hand wns in his,
nnd he was soon pointing out to her, as
he delighted to do, the mysteries of his
beloved organ.
“You are not well to-night,” he said,
in distressed tones, noting that a great
shivering tit was on her. Hhe answered,
witli n forced laugh, that sho was only
rold. He touched her hnnds, and found
them burning. Him was on a visit to her
friends tlio Taylors, whither he would
have taken her at once, had she not

thought unjust. Mrs. Downing turned
very white, and left the room. A trap
was nt the door to take her husband to
the station. Ho sprang up, struck tho
liorso sharply, nnd rattled iiway just in
time to catch his train.
He wns unhappy all day in London.
He would have given much that Rose

Throughout tho day it hnd thundered

: tho roll and boom of the largo spring
waves us he skirted the beach over which
lie could hour some one trampling heavi
ly. The light in his dining-room shone
cheerfully from ?>ehind closely drawn
red curtains. Hose wiis not in the dining
room, but on the table, addressed to him
self, iay a note, in her well-known liaud-
writing. He broke tlie seal and read:
“You have insulted me so grossly that
I will live witli you no more. I have
takon with me what I need. I shull go
to friends out of England, where any at
tempt on your part to Hnd me would be
worse thuu useless. You have made me
feel, David Downing, that l hate you!
1 was your wife, but never your slave!"
He read the letter over two or three
times; then lie questioned the servants;
but they could give him little informa
tion, except that their mistress had gone
out with her maid iu the afternoon, the
maid carrying a good-sized bag uud Mrs.
Downing one of the smallest dimensions.
The lady was thickly veiled, and wore a
durk-violet waterproof. The bout hud
left for France ubout an hour ago.
Daniel Downing went down and
questioned people on the pier, but no
one answering to the description of Mrs.
Downing hud been seen. He went to
the station, hut could hear nothiug of
her there. He wandered, for some time,
aimlessly about the windy streets, per
vaded ut that tunc by a briny smell
and conveyed Ursula to her friend’s
house. He railed lutcr on, to hour the
doctor's report, whioil for some days was
uncertain. A wasting, low fever>was nt

chief danger to bo dreaded. Those were
days of double darkness for Downing.
Hu begged to be allowed to speak to her,

ground of infection.

He opened the door and went iu gen

“Well, here is one visitor. ‘Where
thero is no fear, there is no danger,’ so
you must not mind. I did want to como
and see how my dear child was getting

hand.”
"Oh, you should not hnvo como; but I
uni glad to see you. Mamma is with mo
now, but she is resting. Do my hands
burn very much?”
“Scarcely at all. I am sure you arc
better." •
With his baud holding hers,she seemed
to grow mucli more composed, and
after a little while fell into a refreshing
sleep.
Once the door opened, and some one
came iu and remained some time, stand
ing by tho bed, and theu went out with
no word. From that day Ursula im
proved rapidly,uud was soon pronounced
out of danger. She began to laugh, and
bo almost her old bright self. She would
give David her wrists to span with his
lithe, strong fingers, and “My arms are
thin, but they will be pretty uguin when
I grow quite strong," she said.
One day, when they were alone to
gether, the nurse being absent for a brief
while, some one came in uud stood by
tiie bed, and so close by the chair on
which David was sitting, that he felt u
woman’s dress brush his knee; and was
not that the touch of a woman's hand on
his? Not Ursula’s poor little wasted
palm, but a firm, cool, magnetic touch.
And wliat is this but some one kneeling
by him, and warm tears falling on his
hands?
