The deadlock over th« Illinois
Senatotship still continues.
Yesterday Wheeling ceased to
be the capital of West Virginia.—
Charlestown is now the capital of
that State.
There is but one fair interpreta
tion of genuine civil service. It
means the placing of honest Deui
crats in office.
A correspondent states Henry
O. Flipper, late Liuetenant in the
United States Army, now holds an
important position in the Mexican
army,
Editors, and other rich people
will soon be making arrangements
to go to Long Branch, Saratoga
or some other fashionable waters

Little Phil Sheridan has been
putting on airs of late Secretary
of War. Eudicoit has put the
breaks on Sheridac, Keep ’em
on.
And row Halstead adds insult
to injury by declaring that no re
publican paper supported Presi
dent Cleveland. What will thein
depen lent squabs say to this ?
Pilhsbury, recetly appointed to
oe revenue collector of Maine,
found out Brother Blaine before
anybody el ,e made the fact known ?
This is why the republicans object
to his appointment.
The fat land offices of the west
are filled with republican ex-con
gressman . Secretary Lamar has
asked t tern to step down and out'

be full of misery.’
One day the dispatches announce
that “war is inevitable” and the
next that “negotiations are pro
gressing, looking to a permanent
peace.” In the mean time specu
lators are reaping a rich harvest—
those of whom are, on the inside.
It is now said that the Russians
will certainly occupy Herat; the
place beiog a strong strategy point
on the Afghan bor The Briiish
were anxious to have reached this
point first. Toe war cloud grows
blacker,
Crimes go iu gro ups. No soon
er was the horrible tragedy in
Macon given to the world, than it
was followed by one more brutal
if anything, in Taylor county,
where a colored preacher made
mincemeat of his wife.
The republican letter carriers in
Lancaster, Pa. resigned the other
day because a democrat received
an appointment ia the office.
These letter carriers have set an
example iliat all patriotic republic
cans ought to follow.
After the blustering talk of sev
eral week, sounds of peace now
come from London and St. Peters
burg. Whether this means the
reaching of a solid agreement, or
is only an attempt on the part of
Russia to gain time yet remains
to be seen.
It is said that the biokers wbo
have beeu buying up the trade dol
lars with the view of selling them
to ih • government at a profit hav
ing been disappointed in their ex
pec'a'ions, are now shipping the
disreputable coin to Chiua where
it will probably be absorbed.
Gov. Long, of Massachusetts,
thinks the democracy admits the
excellency of republican rule by
making so few changes in the
office holders. Let the governor
wiit»eta little whi'e. The da
ministration resembles the mill of
the gods in that though it grinds
slow, if grinds exceeding fine.

It is evident that the declension

A PERSIAN SONG.
Ah, sail are they, who kuow not love.
But far from passion's tears and smiles
Drift down amoouless sea, beyond
The silvery coast of falrv isles.
And sadder they whose longing lips
Kiss empty air, and never touch
The dear, warm mouth of those they
love,
Waiting, wasting, suffering much.
But clear as amber, fine as musk
Is life to those who, Pilgrim-wise,
Move hand in band from dawn to dusk
Each in oruiug nearer Paradise.
Ob, not (or them shall angels pray
They stand in everlasting lignt;
They walk in Allah’s smiles by day
And nestle iu his heart by night,
Love's Story.
Mr. Paul Persimmon had just
finished his evening toilet.
He was a handsome young man
of seme six and twenty verdant
springs, with a yellow moustache
and hair to correspond, a pink
complexion like an overgrewn
tnascu ine doll, and big blue eyes
which were pronounced “sweet”
by all the young ladiee of his ac
quaintance ; and as be stood thers
in the glores if a pearl colored
suit, with lavender kid gloves, and
cameo shir.kstuds and an in in
tingible odor of e«u de patchnuly
about his initialed pocket handker
cheif one could but think of the
wax young gentlemen in the dra
pers and tailors’’ windows on
Broadway.
Mr. Persimmon was very Land
some. spoke with a slight lisp ami
waltzed like a Parisian—and Mr.
Persimmon was on the lookout
for matrimonial promotion !
“Paul must marry rich.” said all
his friends. “He could no more
buffet with the waves of adverse
fortune than a gold fish could
wim among the Artie icebergs.
Poor dear Paul ! he must certain
ly have a wife money !”
And so Mr Persimmon himself
hought. He had|never been edu
cated 10 do anything bur quote
poetry and look handsome, but
these thiugs he certainly accom
plished, to perfection. And he
was just issuing from his apart
ment Mrs. Gnstabrook’s first-class
board ng house when Major Mil
foil met him face to face.
“Hallo 1” cried Mr. Persimmon,
cordially extending one trim, lit
tle gloved band.
“Hailo, old fellow,” responnded
Major Milfoil cacalierly. I was
just coming up to talk to you.
But you are goiDg out—well, ill
walk with pou a part of the way.
And be passed nis arm through
that of Mr. Persimmou adding.
“Charming evenign wasn’t it ?’’
“Delightful,” drawled the ex
quisite, swinging bin t ; ny ebony
cane back and forth as he walked.
“But Miss Ellery does always giv e
such tip-top entertainments.”
“You at leas* appeared to enjoy
it,” said bisjfrieEd good humoredly
“I saw you flirtiug desperately
with some girl or other !”
Mr Persimmon smiled, and
pulled his flaxen moustache.
“Ye—es,” he observed, conscous
ly, “I’ve pretty much made up my
mind in that quarttr.”
“A foregone conclusion eh ?’’
said Major Milfoil. “Well,'at all
events she is very pretty in tLe
bright, sparkling style of femenine
loveliness, and she dresses well,
too may I ventu e to atk her
Lame, aud what m»> be her local
habitation t”
“Oh, of course, asserted Mr.
Persimmon. I was goiDg to call
thete this morning as soon as I'd
been around to the club house,
and stopped in at the Montmar
tere Hotel for a few minutes. —
She is staying at No.— Meridon
street, and her name is Miss St
Osborn.”
“Miss St. Osborn!”
“Yee—what is there so precus
liar about the name t It a rather
unusal to be sure, but ”
“And No A/eridon steet t”
“Exactly so,” was the somewhat
puzzled answer. “Now will you
be good enough to iel! me what
you are opening your eyes so wide
for 1"

with a slight shrug ol his .mould
ers : “except that Miss St. Osborn

brother’s throe little girls.
Mr. Persimmon stopped short
in the verp flood tide of pedes
trianism that flows at uoondav
round tne corner of Broadway and
Fourteenth street, and let fall the
tiny ebony cane in his constoraa
tion.
“Eh?” he ejaculaied feecly; “a
mutic teacher? Why, I always
supposed she was au heiress."
“Who told you so'" Asked
Milfoil, wonderingly.
“ JEell, I can t say tha*. any ore
ever told me so,’ answered Mr.
Persimmon “but—but somehow I
got the impression. Why she
wears such splendid rolitaire dia
monds I”
“Hiredbrobably, or borrowed for
for the occasion," suggested Major
Milfoil.
“And dresses exquisitely.”
Tnat’s easily done, if me hap
pens to have rich relations.”
Mr. Persimmon smote his lily
smmoth forehead with his left lav
euaer-kidtMri palm.
■ I A musiWeacher !” he reiterat
ed . “Well, Ido say, Mi/foil, it’s
a deuce of a shame to pull the
wool over a fellow’s eyes in this
sort of fauhion Why, she must
be a regular husbafid hunte,’?
“Granted that she is,* returned
Milfoil, quietly, “what are you but
a wife-hunter ?”
“Oh—well—no doubt—very
possibly," ackuowledged Mr. Per
smmou, hot without a visible spice
of confusion but tile cas.s are
quite different.”
“Will you explain tome the
differnce ?’’ persisted Milfoil ma
liciously.
“A music /eacher 1 Uupon my
word, it is disgraceful," went on
Paul Persimmon “And Iliad al
most proposed to her. Dear, dear
what a narrow escape I’ve had,”
and he wiped his forehead with
hispatchouly-scented pocket hand
kerchief “Think of me living up
in (he south tlo r of a third rate
boarding house and my wife giv
ingflesson to support us !"
And as Major Milfoil looked at
his c mpanion's effeminate coun->
tenance and iisteoted to his woids
he could but think that Miss hit.
Osborne had, had a lucky estape.
Miss Laura Sc. Osborne was sit
ting in hei luxurous room at Mrs.
PargerhTusbionable boarding house
the same morning looking extreme
ly pretty in a morning neyliyte of
rose colore 1 cashmere, while her
silky black curls were tied back
with a bread fillet of pink ribbon,
and diamonds sparkled like so
many big limpid dew drops on her
pretty lingers. She was a brilliant
little brunette, with peachy sred
cheeks, long dark eye lashes and
brows as black and perfectly arch
ed as if they had been outlined with
a pencil dipped iu jet.
Opposite to her at the mirror,
between the two windows, a tall
slender girl of eighteen was tryiDg
on a p ain black silk bon net.
“Are you goiug already, Estelle?’’
yawned the Oriental eyed beauty.
“I must Cousin Laura. 1 have
a lesson to give at pne o’clock at
M rs. Demetey's.”
“Busy little bee !” laughed Miss
St. Osborn. “Really Stella, you
make me ashamed of my own Juice

“But you are rich, Laura; aod I
am poor 1”
“Navei the less, you will not
accept pecuniary aid from me, you
haughty spirited damsel
Estelle St. Osborne shook her
head.
“I would rather be independent’
she said calmly.
•‘So I must remain alone to re
ceive the visit of my handsome lit
tle adorer, Paul Persimmon.'’
laughed Laura
Estelle locked keenly at her.
“Laura do you like Mr. Persim
mon T”
“A little was the gayly defiant
answer You do not ?”
“I have only seen him at, a disc
tance you know—bul to me he
seems frivolous and shallow t”
“He is very handsome,” Laura
dreamily observed.
“Yes, but beauty is not every
thing !”
And so speakiog, Estlle St. Os
borne left the room.
Three hours atterwards she re
entered it to find to find Laura
•till alone.
“Well did you enjoy Mr. Persim
men’s call ?’’
Laura pouted her pretty cherry
lips.
“Mr, Pertunmon has not been
here at all A’atelle," she answered
“ But I thought he asked per
mission to call on you this morn
ing ?’
“So he did—but it seems that
he has not decided to avail himself
of the granted permission, Estelle!"
with a br.ght sudden toss of ihe
jetty cascade of cuils, “let’s go for
a walk down Fifth avenue—it is
to lovely a day to shut one’s self
up ir the house.
Aud the two cousins set oft for
a walk on tho fashion able t horough

As luck, or radier Cupid, would
have it, almost the first ptrson
they met was Mr. Paul Persim
mon himself saumering gracefully
along, in his pearl-colored suit and
his ebony cane, one arm passed
through that of a gentleman— not
however, Major Milfoil this time.
Laura’s face brigbtene I—she
half paused—but Mr. Persimmon
averiing nis countenance, hurried
on, and she could hear him say in
a quiet and audible voice :
“A mere music teacher ! I cov
er was so astonished in all my ( ife!
Why, I supposed ”
&ud distance swallowed up the
remainder of the speech.
Laura St. Osborne’s cheek flush
scarlet with indignation—her
heart throbbed high.
“Estelle 1” she said, “you are
right. He is a fool and a shallow
one at that.’’
Miss S'. Osborne met him at a
party that seif same evening out
neigther sought the companion
ship of the other. The subtle
chains had been snapped asunder
—the electric charm dissolved !
A month afterward Mr. Persim
mon met a friend on the street or
rather an acquaintance, one Mr
//oward Bcynton.
“My dear fellow !’’ he cried, seiz#
ing him by a button of the coat,
“is this true tbai I hear about
you ? ’

“That you are engaged to Miss

“Quito true 1
Miss Laura St. Osborne ?”
“Yes. ’
“But—she is a music teacher !’’
“That would not make a hair's
difference in my estimate of her
even were it true,” Mr. Boynton
haughtily observed. “But It hap
pens that you are mistaken. Miss
Estelle St. Osborne gives lessons
u music, thereby elevating her
self in my estimation through her
high-so tied independence ; but her
cousin Miss Laura is heiress to a
fortune, in her owu right, of over
one hundred fhousand dollars !”
Aud Mr. Boynton, extricating him
self from the grasp of the perfum
ed little dandy, walked quietly 00,
leaving the latter gentleman
transfixed with aslou'shment and
dismay.

had been paying seriou- attention
to Mus Birdie McGinnis, one of
the bells of Austir. An far as I
could judge, sue was the right kind
of a girl to make an excellent wife.
She was ae mild and as gentle as a
lamb whenever I called on her. I
wanted a meek eort of a woman for
r wife, for I like to have things uiy
own way. She was, moreover,
very industrious, which is a very
desirable habit in a woman nowa
days. She seemed to ba very
economicrl, which ia anothar good
thing to have in the family.”
“Y ou seem to hava found a

“That is wuat 1 thought, but I
had my doub s, for oue day as I
was ridiLg past I saw her chase
her grandmother through the yard
with a broomstick, but I thought
they were only playing, although
she hit the old lady some pretty
solid whacks.”
“What did you do to vjriitj
