Bostoh, November 15.—A special to the Herald from Augusta says: Mr. Blaine regards tho official count in New York as practically settling the Presidential ques tion. Mr. Biatne, it is stated on the best authority, received this afternoon a tele gram from New York announcing the com pletion of the final canvass in that city, and Informing him that the plu rality for Cleveland in the State would be 1.137. The same authority states that Blaine accepted the result very cheerfully, and has no regrets growing out of hie connection with me campaign, lie feels tbet he made a good fight, and he gracefully bears the verdict of the American people. He believes the Re- publ icau party will prove true to its grand past and will increase in strength with coming years. He expects in 1889 It will again be called back Into power. Blaine leaves for Washington about the middle of next week, where hia family wfU spend the winter.

Or is it a polit ical despo'ism where free thought, and free speech, and free action, are prohib ited by the spirit of party which rules the hour? Are those who rebel against this slavery to bo placed iu the pillory and pelted with offensive missiles, and marked out for public censure and disgrace? During tho Jate political campaign each half of the people, actuated bv this fell spirit, accused the other half of the most nefarious designs, amounting to nothing Jess than a purpose to subvert all Jawful authority, and to undermine the very foundation of the country’s welfare. And now that tho elcotion is over this spirit on either side is, if possible, stilJ more bitter and intolerant, and the party leaders sit over against each other with compressed lips and clonched hands, on the pretense that the common safety re- a uires every true man to bo on guard as in in presence ot an enemy. Wo admit that a few disappointed polbicians on one side and some who arc grown arrogant with success on the other, have done their best to arouse and intensify the passions of their followers; but the people at large of all parties are neither fools nor knaves, and it is time that wo had a rest from the assumption that prosperity or ruin hang in the bnlance to be decided by the count ing of the ballots. It is a matter of still greater regret that in tho associations and clubs, and general party organizations formed for political purposes, tho madness which antedated the election has not given place to more moderate counsels now that the election ia over. Both sides Jiave been guilty of this insolent, domineering spirit. Wc have before us in a party organ a port of a public meeting in which tho pres ident, a gentleman of intelligence and cul ture, and a prominent member of a Christ ian church, declared that “it did not seem to him that any certain number of Republicans bad aoy more right to rebel against this national party than a State had a right to rebel against the na tion.” This is a plain declaration that a man who has hitherto acted with a party ia to be denounced as a traitor, to hia coun try if for anv reason, satisfactory to him self ho casts his vote at any time against it. There is no despotism in all tho world that cannot overtop such a manifestation of intolerance. There is the most glaring evidence of tho hypocrisy of such a claim to individual allegiance. Not only is party intolerance in general universally denouucod, but in every political appeal ah men of both par ties >tre evermor . urging upon each one op- poiod to them lhe solemn duly of leaving his present associations and tunring tc . those who are clamoring for his vote.

We “had rather be a dog and bay the moon” than to wear the collai and be held in auoh a bondage! We do not overrate the importance of this subject, nor the necessity of stirring the popular head: to resist these encroach ments upon the liberty of the people to think and act for themselves free from such party trammels. The despotism sits enthroned everywhere and demands uni versal subjection. It aims to be supreme, not alone in the primary assembly, and in the political conventions, but in the coun cils at our State capitals, and the sett of government at Washington.

Resistance o ty ranny is everywhere obedience to God. We call on all true men to stand up for their personal rights, and assert their manhood. Let no one bow to this yoke which a party would hang around his neck, or wear the collar on any pretense for a single hour. Such intolerance is worse by far than themost odious tyranny of an absolute monarchy.

Well, in order to prevent mischief when outside ihe house, one of her hands is tied, and Mrs. Hope keeps the other firmly c'ssped in her own. Last Sunday night Mr. Beecher was in his richest vein.

At all events, aoex- clleddid Mrs. Hope become that she let go -her charge’s hand. The re sult Is half painful and half ridicu lous. She raised her released member as if shewere an automaton, and still like an automaton let it fall prone on the nose of tbe duenna. Mr. Beecher stopped and a big buza ran through the congregation.

Perhaps it is when Mrs. Hope is reading she feels something cold running swiftly along the spine of her back.

Dean, who has spent a number of years In China, "I was walking along the Min river, one day, soon after arriving in China, and came to a bamboo float or raft moored to the pier of a bridge. I no ticed a native squatting on the raft, and wbat at first thought were a number of dneke grouped at one end of It. They were all faoed toward the Cblnamsn, and he was gaslng steadily at them with Ms hands os Me kn ee. "I stooped to see what was going on. Suddenly the man extended bis right had, palm upward, to ward one of the birds, which I then saw were not ducks, for the one tbe Chinaman reached his hand to waddled as briskly as it could- toward htm and hopped on the open palm. Theman stroked Itifeathers fondly, rubbed bis cheek along its neck, which lie kissed now and then, and talked to it In Chinese, evidently In endearing terms. Tho bird seemed delighted, it laid its head on tbe Chinaman’s arm, rubbed its peculiar bill against bit face, and returned all hia caresses. This lasted at least a minute, and then the man moved with tbe bird to the further side of the float and placed It on the edge. Then for the' first time It came to me that this was a Chinese fisherman, working with cormo- rants. •• When the cormorant Was placed on the edge of the raft it dipped its bill in the water, snapped it together loudly, looked np and down the side of the float, tnrned its head and fixed its glittering black eves an instant on its master, and then slid be neath the nrface without a sound, scarcely leaving a ripple behind it. The Chinaman seated himself again and awaited tbe reappearance of bis bird with out any apparent concern or anxiety. The other birds remained standing at the end of the raft, almost motionless, and without removing their eyes from tbeJr master. Tbe bird that baa dived into the water re mained beneath the surface for probably a quarter. of a minute, and then eared, popping almost out ot the asitcamenp. The lower half ot a fish protruded from its month, Tbe bird swam straight to the raft, climbed upon it and, jumping on its master’s knee, bold its head np for him to remove the fish. Tbe Cninaman pulled the fish from the bird’s mouth with one hand while he stroked its neck and plumage with the other, and whis pered words of approval. The cormorant shook out its feathers and showed its de light in variotft ways. Again its master placed it on the edge of the raft, and again it glided noiselessly in the water. The other birds maintained their stolidity, ap parently unmindful of what was going on around them. The cormorant that was fishing appeared in a short time, and SRain naia made a successful dive. The same caressing was gone through with, aud the bird was started in the water, a third time. It now seemed to be thoroughly warmed up to Abe work, and went at it with an avidity that showed plainly the pleasure it took in it. The third time it was gone longer than uaa&l, and when it finally came up it had no fish. It swam frantically about in the water, twisting and turning and evincing the 'greatest distress, but, turn which way it might, it kept its sharp eyes fixed on* its master, with an appealing expression. It made no move to approach the raft, and when the Chinaman raised his band and Dointed downward with the forefinger the bird dived again, and so quickly that it was gone like a flash. In a few seconds up it came, bearing in its mouth a large f sb. This time it swam boldly for the raft, de posited its prey at its master’s feet, and showed plainly the joyfulneess of its ac tions as he stroked iu arched neck that it bud rc deemed itfelf. : „ • Win n the Ciu'iiaman pface«riBe »hfrd fish in hls bat-kt t he took the cormorant end placed it in the cen're ot iLe r*f«. It seemed to understand that it bad done its work satisfactorily and was entitled to rest, for it tt.utted proudly away and took up its position at tbe o.her er.d of tbe raft. When this waa done a great change came over the other birds. Each one straight ened itself up to its full height, arched its neck, shook out its feathers and seemed quivering with expectancy. The China man squatted before them as he had done before, eyed them curiously fora moment, and then held out bis hand to the larg est of the group. It hopped upon the hand, and instantly its companions resum ed their listless and indifferent attitudes, 'i he Chinaman caressed this bird as he had done tbe first, but it did not reciprocate his attentions. It seemed sullen and showed no heart for its work. Its master placed i< on the edge of the raft and it clumped into the water at once, splashing it about, and disappeared. It was gone not more than five second?, and came up without a fish. It swam about as the other bird had done, bnt did not exhibit distress or disappointment It keeps its eyes on its muter, (or no other purpose, apparently, than to receive his signal to dive again. When this was given the bird tank below the surface again. It remained below about as long as before, and came up again without a fish. The Chinaman now arose to his feet. He shouted something to ihe bird and made an emphatic signal. His anger did not disturb the cormorant in the least. It was apparently an iricorrigible servant. It dived deliberately the third time, and once more appeared without adding anything to its master’s catch. Then the Chinaman uttered several gutter al exclamations, and made a signal by jerking bis thumb back over bis shoulder. The cormorant swam tantalisingly slow into the raft. Its master caughtU by the neck and dragged it oat of the water. He cuffed it several times ou the head, and threw it violently down on tbe bamboos. I thought tbe poor bird must certainly have the life crushed out of it, but it arose coolly to its feet and limped sullenly off to where the firat cormorant alood, atrong In its master’s affection and approval. This bird manifested unmistakable delight at the discomfitureof its companion, but the others seemed to notice nothing but the movements of their master. Tbe Chinaman next held out both hands and took two of the remaining birds at once. These seemed to appreciate his csreues. They evidently felt that they were (o be worked together, and that the competition would result in a greater or less reward. When they were placed on the top of the raft they eyed each other jealously, and when the signatwaa given both cut the water and disappeared to gether. In ten seconds on* came up. It bad a tiah. It looked hurriedly around oa all sides, doubtless to see if its rival had appeared yet, and has tened for the raft. It was within two feet of it before the other bird appeared, and then that came to the surface immediately in front of the first, and also with a fish in its mouth. Before it scored any advantage its rival wss even with it in the race. They both reached the raft together, and were treated alike by their master. Ou tbe second trial they both came to the surface together, but one bird bad no fish. When it saw that its rival had been sue cessful it becam® wild. It threshed about in the water and seized the fish iu the other bird’s mouth and endeavored to take it away, but a riiout and a signal from its master caused it to relinquish its bold. Its rival swam proudly to the raft with its prey, deposited it at its master’s feet and received his caresses, while .the other bint swam frantically about, waiting to get a signal from the Chinaman to try again. This he did not give until the suc cessful bird was ready to try again. This time tbo unsuccessful bird was successful, and tho other was under the ban. “Iuth’s way the Chinaman continued fishing with his birds for hours, and when he ceaied for the day he had a half-bushel basket heaped With fishes from eight inches to a foot in length. *Thev were a species of he rring.
