WHO AUK THIS POOR.
AT CttZß DCgJt.
Who rs the poor 1 Nut nlwsys those
Wbo have tin least to Allow,
Nor ro they Iwa.va found among
The darkMt liaonla of woe ;
For out 1 may wear the richest drees
And roll in wealth'a galore,
lit. t at ill in heaven's perfect sight,
' lie poor, aye, rry jioor.
Tho brightest skies may ever ahlne
Above the manainn proud,
And be who dwells within Its walls
With want may ne’er be bowed ;
The aweeteat nmale ever beard
May feed bit listening ear,
And mirth and pleasure fill the cup
Of ail the gladsome year.
Yet, poor, indeed, most be (he man
Who owns such Joys an these,
If e'er bis heart is coldly closed,
To others' miseries ;
And vain la all bis store of gold
If selfishly he lives,
And always reaping harvests new,
No charity e'er gives.
Beal poverty i in the heart,
'Tie want of love for man,
Tla failure to perform a good,
To bless whene'er you can ;
Tts lack of love and lack of faith
In Clod and Ilia decree,
That the greatest virtue ono can own
la loving charity.
So let us, then, do sll we can
To help each other on,
Aud show that wealth of mind and heart
Which lives when gold la gone;
And let ns keep this truth in view
Whicbe'er our steps may lead :
A man may be a miuionafre.
And yet be poor indeed.
Sanator Thurman’*Opinions.
Senator Thurman, of Ohio, lias been for
several days the guest of Senator Davis, of
West Virginia, at Doer Park Hotel, on the
Baltimore ami Ohio railroad. Recently a
reporter of the Baltimore (Jiudte inter
viewed Senator Thurman on Dio financial
plunk of the Ohio Platform. Mr. Thur
man talked quite freely on the situation in
Ohio, aud his mvu relations to it, which
ho thought had been misunderstood. He
said:
“The Democratic party In Ohio i di
vided ou the currency question. The
financial opinions contained in the Colum
bus platform should only ho regarded as
the expression of local opinion, a id noth
ing could bo more unjust thsn tho at
tempt to charge on this account tlmt the
Democratic party as a national organiza
tion, is animated by a spirit of inflation.
In all times of eommfrctal depression the
cry of more money is raised, tho present
period being no exception. Inflationists
are to bo fonnd in both political parlies,
and it is very unbecoming for Republican
journals to denounoo the Democracy ns an
inflation party while so prominent a Re
publican ns Judge Kelley is harnngning
the iron-workers of Ohio, in favor of his
8-65 bond scheme and greenback heresies.”
He also referred to other republican
leaders, who have been first and foremost
in the defense of greenbacks as “tho best
currency the world ever saw." Touching
the desire for republican success in the
E resent Ohio ennvass in tho interest of
•emooratio principles, Senator Tlmrman
■aid .*
“No roan who comprehends the politi
cal situation and hopes for the success of
the Democratic party at tho next Presi
dential ejection, should desire a Republi
can victory in Ohio, in the foolish belief
that such a result will contribute to a Re
publican defeat in IH7O. Nothing could
be more erroneous. Democratic defeat in
tho approaching Slate election is simply
suicidal. It is true thnt serious 4 errors
wore inserted in tho platform. I did my
best to av,ert the threatened evil, but be
cause others disagree with me, I sec no
reason why I should holster up the Re
publican party, Ir orrurs have been com
mitted in Ohm, they can bo corrected.
Thoy need not be tho excuse for greater
ones. The Republican party in Ohio is
also divided on the currency qiiestion.
Tho financial plauk in their platform con
Btrucd to moan lmrd or soft money, and
prominent Ohio Republican Congressmen
are in favor of more greenbacks. ”
Replying to the charge that he evinced
a lack of moral courage in not denouncing
the inflation piuuk of tho Columbus plat
form at the ratification meeting, ho said:
“The place and time were not oppor
tune. It is a great injustice to condemn
one for opinions never uttered. I have
*aid or done nothing to warrant the charges
brought against me. My record in the
Senate is before the country, and ou that
reoord I yet stand. lam to make my first
speech of tho campaign at Mansfield,
Ohio, July 31, and sliull then announce
my disseverment with tho financial pro
visions of tho platform, aud throughout
the campaign I shall sav nothing to dis
credit the couvictiousoi a lifetime,”
Remarkable Experiences.
One of the most remarkable among sav
ages was that of William I*. Day, a sea
faring man, who recently arrived in this
city from a crusade along the Malay coast.
While anchored on a long natural harbor
six of the crew wont ashore in the boat, for
the pnrpose of purchasing fruit ami other
food among tho natives. When trying to
drive a bargain with one of the chiefs, Mr.
Day offended one of the ohiefs. In loud
and angry tones Zetzok Rave some orders
to bis people and forthwith the suvage be
gan throwing stones and sticks at the-little
party of sailors.
Tho sailors did not stop to fight, hut
ran as fast as they could toward their
boat, which had been haukal upon tho
beach. The boat was somewhat, heavy,
audit required much effort to push it into
the water. Four of the sailors jumped in
to the little craft and the other too—Mr.
Day and a man named Jose Meehan)—re
mained ont to push the boat off from the
shore. Day and Mediat'd had just started
the boat and were about to jump in them
selves when they were seized from behind
by the savages and taken prisoners. Their
comrades did not return to theirassistauee,
but rowed away toward their ship as rap
idly as possible.
No sooner did Zotzek, the emer, get the
captives safely away from the coast than he
commenced a series of cruelties w hich are
almost beyond belief. A favorite amuse
ment of the savages waste poke sticks into
the fire, and when the ends were well burnt
they thrust them into the flesh of the cap
tives, making hoirible wounds and sears.
After remaining several months in cap
tivity, Mr. Mechard was taken sick with a
disease somewhat similar to the Asiatic
cholera, and died in a few hours.
After being about a year with the sav
ages Mr. Day fell from a cliff and broke
Ins right leg, besides bruising and maim
ing himself, so that he was a cripple for
life. Being thus rendered usclcsn to the
savages, they took him to a missionary
station, and the missionary ransomed him
by giving-the ssvages some trinkets. Mr.
Day took the neat vessel that came to the
station and left the May lay coast, arriving
in this city n few days ngo.— X. J' Cor.

A Detroit Man * Joke.
He did not look like a joker. One to
sit and study his face would have said that
bis son! was lost in inelancboily; that be
didn't care two cents whether the sun set
at noon or stayed up uutil seven o'clock.
He entered tho ladies' sitting room at the
Central depot, walked up to a woman
whose husband had left the room about
ton minutes previously, and calmly en
quired :
“Madam, your husband went out to see
the river, didn't be ? ”
"Yes, why ? " stje asked, turning pale
in an instant.
•‘He was a tall mail, wasu’t he 1 "
"He was,” she replied, rising up and
turning still paler,
“Had red hair ? ”
“He had—oh ! wlist has happened ? "
“Weighed about 180 pounds ? ”
“Yes—yes—where is he—where is my
husband ? ” she exclaimed.
“Couldn't swim, could he ?”
“He's drowned—my husband is drown
ed ! sho wailed.
"Had a silver watch chain ?” continued
the stranger.
"Where is my husband—where is the
body ? ” she gasped.
Do not get excited madam. Did your
husband have on a grey suit ? ”
“Yes—oh ! my Thomas! my Thomas I
"And stoga boots ? ”
“Lt me see him—let me see him I "
she cried.
"Come this way madam, but do not get
excited. There, is that your husband
across the street at that peanut stand ? ”
"Why, yes that's my husband 1 she ex
claimed joyfully. I thought you said lie
was drowned."
"No, madam, I did not. I saw him buy
ing peanuts, and I believed it my duty to
sny to yon that peanuts are not healthv at
this season of the year.”
Ho slid softly out, and she there
and chewed her parasol, and stared after
bitty ns if he were a meuugcrio on wheels.
