It was almost like a bit ot Pers'an poetry, that listle conservatory, in its glow and fragrance, and soft, delicioos .murmur ol leaves, ornamented with azaleas, geraniums, pomegranates, orange blossoms, tv 1'a sy Arnold looked not unlike a- Persian enchantress, as she stood leaning one fair hand on a Tine-. 'wreaihedPsyehe, her hair of burnished' gold vying in brightness with the acacia, plumes sweeping above her head, and it quiver in the white lids that hid her deep bine eyes. She was tall and large, with regular features and sear ehell pink in. her cheeks, and aa uncoascioua hauteur in the poise of her dainty throat aad shoulders. Daisy Arnold was born to be an heiress, and very grav efnlly she fulfilled the mission of her sunshiny life. She was' not alone in the sunshine and fragrance of the conservatory.

Eustace Emory was- there, leaning against tbe stages,' and sornewimt'itnpatientLy: twkfahg and1 untwisting a spray of jessamine with his nervous AKenv He was tall, manly young .fellow, with dark brown eyes ana hair, and face that yon were mvoUmttvrily eompelled to admire and like. "I cannot see any sense in asking ' STwh lmpoisibilrties, Daisy," he said, almost passionately. "Are they impossibilities, Eustace, dear?" "I cannot go to South America without you." "But you can, and you will.' "How can I go away there without won, and to be gone a whole year? It is impossible, Daisy. And sometimes, when you reason as yon are doing now, I almost fancy that yon do not care for me as yon used to do." "Eustace!" "I know, darling, that it may sound unjust ; but how can I help it ?

"Bat she does not know too, Daisy."

to-morrow will come only too soon." "Yes, but X.mav not start to-morrow,

"Oh, go, by all means, to-morrow, or yon will be obliged to wait until an

"She will suit, then, I think. But, Daisy, it seems to me that you are in haste to hurry me. off." " ' "Oh, Eustace, dearest, you are mis

She was-pjuaing ojnt her far -off-son, abstractedly, hearing, and seeing nothing until suddenly, looking up, she saw a Pety and quiet-Socking young person,, dad in a neat but cheap garb of Drown, standing before her.

"What is your name ? "Dorothy Arnold." "Are you related to those Arnolds in New York?" "I am alone in the world, madam." "Ah, that is well," muttered the lady, sotto voce. "I couldn't endure any one belonging to that waltzing Italian song-singing girl but whera are your references?" Dorothy Arnold drew a letter from her wicker basket, "So Mrs. Forrest knows you, eh?" asked her inquisitress. "Yes, madam." "Well," commented the matron, glancing over the note, "this recommendation seems very satisfactory. I don't know but you may come and try. The only objection that I can' have is that you are altogether too pretty-looking, and I do not know as you are really to blame for that, Take off your things"; you may .as well begin at once." More ihan a year has elapsed since the last events recorded in this story. The' maples were bare and leafless. The snow lay white and deep in all the hollows and dimples by the roadside, and a sharp December wind was sweeping across the valley as the sun glowed with momentary redness through the woods upon the distant hills ere it sank oat of sight "How soon -it grows dark!" said Mrs. Emory, with -a little sigh. "That's right, Dorothy put on some more wood and draw the curtains. Now we're snugf S & And snug they were, with the shaded lamp glowing softly on the table, and the bright wood fire leaping and crackling up the chimney. Dorothy drew a low Ottoman to' the side of Mrs. Emory, and sank comfortably down upon it. She made a very pretty figure as she sat there, her golden hair unfastened, and falling in ringlets over her shoulders, dressed in blue, with a knot of blue ribbon tangled somewhere in her burnished hair, and her great bine eyes turned wistfully toward the old lady's face. "What was that you were saying about going back to New York,' my love?" asked the lady, remorsefully. "I just want to tell you that you can't go. I can't let you go. Yon belong to me." She put- one arm around Dorothy's neck, and drew the round cheek down upon her lap. "Do you love me, Mrs. Emory?" asked the girl,, earnestly. "Ijovb von. intT? T nan Tint nn-

My boy's step," and she rushed into Hie hall, to be joyfully caught to the breast of her son Eustace. "But yon are not alone, mother?" ho said, glancing through the partially closed door at Dorothy's profile on the wall. "No, my son. Let mo introduce " But, to his mother's amazement and horror, her son was at that very moment embracing and pressing bis mustached lips to Dorothy's blushing face "This is my promised bride, mother ?" "And niy nnmo is Dorothy as well as Daisy, dear Mrs. Emory," exclaimed Daisv, ""Please, will you not forgive me?" A reconciliation soon followed.

Ko Apologies. "We were poor enough in those days, " said an eminent publicist, once, in talking to a friend about his early married life, with its hard struggles, its plain living, and high thinking. W were poor enough, and we lived upon baked beans with no pork. "Some folks didn't like beans with no pork to season them; but mother" (mother meant his wife) "never made any apologies. When company came, she put on ok extra; plate, and said dinner was ready, just as 'cheerfully as if there had been ten conrses. "If they liked ns well enough to comoi again they were -always welcome, ft was a kind of test. If they preferred pork, they stayed whero it was plenty. To our thinking, this frugal housewife proved her claim to be considered a lady more conclusively by making no apologies than she could have done in almo.t any other way. Does the chronic apologizer ever stop to think how selfish she is, in considering the petty annoyance of being in this or that direction less perfectly appointed than she could wish, rather than the ease and comfort of her guest? For what guest can be at case having been made to feel that he has come at an inopportune timer that some other day his hostess would have been more ready and, therefore; 'more glad to see him?. . .. A lady welF known to the society of two cities is a chronic maker of excuses. If yon go to a large dinner-party at her house you feel by some spiritual mag-netism-the unrest of her own spirit the wearing anxiety lst everything should not go off well which makes it impossible for her to be quite at her ease. "I beg your pardon," she says, at the end of your prettiest speech, showing that her thoughts have been otherwhere. If you go to a family lunoh er dinner, she does wish vou had been there

yesterday, when the soup was better, or that yoa had come to-morrow; instead, when some other dainty would have been attainable.

"Do you oftea go to see Mrs. So-and-So?" one friend asked of another, in

our hearing.

Ho, I don t," was the answer; Tm

sorry, too; she is, such a kind little

woman; but I could not stand her

apologies. Tbey always make me feel that I hod come at the wrong time." y If the thought -could be present to "a

hostess that to apologize profusely is, inevitably,, to make hor guests feel that they have come "at the wrong time," surely she wonld avoid this error, since the very essence of . good-breeding is that genuine' kindness of heart which Strivos.to malce people comfortable and not. uncomfortable, happy and- not -unhappy. Youth's Companion. '

The Great Unknown. .'. But even then the imperative instinct which demanded the integration of nature's observed forces into a conception of infinite power, and which. was irresistibly borne on to add wisdom also to that power even then it is not pacified. It clamors for one more quality; and then it will be still. Belative, human, provisional call it what you will nevertheless this third and complementary conception will no more take a denial, will no more obey a frown and waive its right to rush into the inevitable combination, than matter will politely waive its chemical affinities. As the human mind is stupefied at the bare idea of swift and gigantio energy abroad in the universe without purpose or intelligence (as we inadequately say) to guide it, so assuredly the human heart stands still in palsied horror at the frightful thought of "an infinite and eternal force," guided, indeed, by an infinite cunning, but checked by no sort of goodness, mercy, or love. In short, no authority on earth not even that of all the philosophers and scientists and theologians that have ever lived could impose upon any man who thought Mr. Herbert Spencer's "First Principles" out to their ultimate conclusion, the portentous belief in an eternal, almighty, omniscient devil. And therefore to add goodness to the other two factors of power and wisdom, which we are compelled by the constitution of our nature to attribute to the Great Unknown, is pardonable because inevitable. But if so, it seems that agnosticism if allowed to develop freely on its own lines, without artificial hindrance must needs become a "Christian agnosticism." And it only remains to ask, why in the world should not such an agnostic "go to church," fall in with the religious symbolisms in ordinary use, and contribute his moral aid to those wjio have taken service under the Christian name on purposo to purify gross and carnal eyes, till they become aware of the Groat Unknown behind the veil, and so ;-orao to relatively know what absolutely passes knowledge. Rev. Ganon Curlew, in I'opular Science Monthly.

Enthusiastic Republican Rutifkntiou Meeting at the National Capital.

Ringing Speeches by Senators Sherman, Hawley, Mahone, Harrison, and Others. Mr, Blaine Officially Informed of His domination for the Presidency.

Washington telegram. The Republican ratification meeting to-night fully met in all respects the most ardent cxpetatlona. The crowd was enormous, completely ailing the great space in front of the City Hall. It might be placed anywhere from 15,000 to 80,000, according to the enthusiasm of the person niHkin? tho estimate. It will be sulticiont to say that there wore a multitude oi people, many more than were able to hear any of tbe three speakers who occupied three different stands at the fame time. The statuo ot Abraham Lincoln, immediately in front of the building, was draped with flags, and about it were arranged shields with natrtouo mottoes. From tbe stand to the root of the building thero were stretched strings of flag, and in the center, at the apex of the main entrance, surmounting the columns, was a shield with a rising sun, on which, between the portraits ot the candidates, was inscribed, "Tho People's Choice for W85." Thoro were twenty-five men among the list of S leakers, and three apoakers spoke at one from 10 different stands. At ono time three men were speaking who, twenty years ago, the most enthusiastic friend of American liberty and anion would not have thought it possible could have been speaking at the National Capital together in behalf of a common cause. At the center stand, beneath tho statue of Lincoln, stood Senator Mahone, of Virginia, Major General ot the Confederacy, one of Leo's most gallant adjutants, addressing tho vast throng In behalf of an honest ballot, tho success of Republican principles, and the election of Blaine and Logan. . At his le:t( sixty feet away, stood Congressman Pettibone, of Tennessee, addressing a similar crowd, who, as the leader of a baud ot Uiilon soldiers, harassed Gen. Muhone's Confederate forces. At the right stand at the same time stood Frederick Douglass, a slave in Maryland when Mahono was a master in Virginia, all pleading for the one cause. Judge Bhcllabarger presided. The crowd insisted upon hearing Gen. Hawley. He came forward, and with the voice of a commander shouted, "Attention." Shcllabargcr extolled the nominees. Mr. Blaine he had known for years, and he considered that a purer or more exalted man docs not live in the republic, but Blaine, ho admitted, is not a good man in tho senso that Mr. Bnrfaco or Mr. Pecksniff were good men. nor a good man in the sense that those who partici oatod in the Chicago convention ami have bolted are good men. Fortunately there arc but one or two such men in a million. Judge William Lawrence of Ohio, read a series of resolutions indorsing and ratifying tho Republican nominations for President and Vice President, and setting forth tho reasons why Blaine and Logan should be supported and elected by those who had at heart the beat interests of the country, Tho resolutions were adopted with cheers. Jndge Sheila burscr introduced the Hon. John Sherman aa the first speaker, Mr. Sherman said in part: I will support tho nomination ot Blaine and Logan as heartily as I have done those of Fremont, and Lincoln, and Grant, and Hayes, and Garfield, and this I would do, tellowcituens, even if they were less worthy than I know them to be of the distiugishod honor proposed for them. I would do it for my own honor. I have no patience with any roan who for himself or any other perron woidd take his chances for success in a political convention and when disappointed would seek to thwart the action of the convention. Blaine and Logan have been selected from among millions of their countrymen to represent not themselves but the Bepublican party of the United States. Tbey represent the American Union, one and indivisible, snatched by wax from the perils ot secession and disunion. After theerpeocb of Sherman tho Marino Band

And hurrah for the Plumed Knight, For victory and Blaine, From Oregon to Maine, We'll follow whero the white plume waves. Senator Hawley, of Connecticut, was then introduced, and began bv calling for three cheers

ness," and had the name, and did not propose to

discontinue, ivneers.j After Hawlev's sneech. there were lomi shouts

for Mabone. Mahone responded, aad was

heartily cheered. He said that he came to in

terchange greetings with those gathered around on the choice ot the Chicago convention. "I make no venture," he said, when I assure you that in the old Mother Commonwealth (Virginia) every Republican heart beats with you. we have a tender feeling there for the great statesman whose admiulstiation of publio affairs has been broad and unsectlonal and benign. It has been under his auspices that Virginia and the South realize that the National Government is the common heritage of Americans, and that all are entitled to equal rights, immunities, and burdens. Horr, ot Michigan, made a bright spech, whioh was well received. Ho dwelt upon the records of Blaine and Logan, and thn manner in which

tney nau been nominated. When we selected

our men, he said, we selected those who for twenty-five years have almost been the Bepublican patty Itself. Now, when the Democrats choose their man, if they can find one who has been in the party twenty-five years, they first ask what he has said in the past. If he has ever said anything, he won't do. Then they inquire what he has doue, and if be has done anything, he won't suit. Mow, I like to belong to a party with a record.

benator Harrison commenced bv saving that

wherever a thriving population was to be found

throughout the land, there Blaine was tin strongest. Ho was strong among the people who did not seek office, but helped tbe cause with their votes. "What," askrd Harrison, "is tho matter with Blaine? Bring forward tho best and ablest men of the nations, assemble the greatest men not only in our land but in others, let a summons go lout to the nations of Europe, let Bismarck and Gladstone be in company, and we will not fear to have their measure applied to our oandldate. l"Good, good." I think that if it gets to be well understood in this country that any foreign conmry does not want James U. Blaine elected President of the United States, the American people will be just obstinate cnongh to elect him.' ILaughtcr and aiplause.t Fred Douglass presided at one of the stands, and made a short spjeoh. The other speakers were Representatives Bayne, Dmglcy, Perkins, Goff, O'Hnra, lioltord, Miller of Pennsylvania. Smalls (colored), Mllliken, and Boutelle. A letter was read from Secretary Lincoln, In New York, expressing hearty concurrence in the objoct of the meeting, and hoping that all who wish the success of Republican principles will unite in earnest and vigorous support of Blaine and Logan. OFFICIAL KOTlFICATIOtf.

Augusta (He) telegram. Early this morning the streets began to assume a lively appearance, and lone before the time for tho committee appointed by tbe national convention to notify James G.

iniprcstvo scene. The rustllugot thoiin-wliut .rod and disciplined branches of the great elms and the buzzing of , A

insects were tho only sounds to disturb the still-

taint of bitterness, and equally free from the reproach of Injustice. At an early stage of the proceedings ot tho convention, it beoauie maulfeet that the Republican States, whose aid must be invoked at last to insure success to the ticket, earnestly desired your nomination. It was equally manifest tbatthedesire fo earnestly expressed by the delegates from those States was bnt tho truthful reflection or tho irresistible popular demand. It is not thought, nor pretended, that this demand had its origin in any ambitious desires of yonr oh n or in the organized work of your friends, but it was recognized to be what it truthfully is, the spontaneous expression by a free people of love and admiration of a ohosin leader. No nomination wou d have giveu satisfaction to every member of the party. This was not to be expected in a country so extended in area and so varied in Interests. The nomination of Mr. Lincoln in WW disappointed so many hopes and overthrew so many cherished ambitions that for a short time the diSRtleotion threatened to ripen into an open revolt. In 1872 the discontent was so pronounced as to impel large masses of the party to organize opposition to its nominees, i'or many week af lor the nomination of Mr. Garfield in 1BS0, defeat seemed inevitable. In each case the shock of disappointment was followed by the "sober second tbouuht." Individual preferences gradually yielded to convictions of publio duty. The promptings of patriotism finally rose superior to the irritations and animosities ot the hour. The party in every trial has grown stronger in tho face of threatened danger. In tendering you the nomination, tt gives na pleasure to remember those great measures which furnished cause for party congratulations by tho late convention at Chicago, and which arc now crystallzcd Into tho legislation of tho country measures whioh hove strengthened and dignified tbe nation, and, while they elevated and advanced the people, have at all times and on all proper occasions received yonr earnest and Valuable support.

In its late convention at Chicago, arc : Economy in the patty administration: protection ot citizens, native and naturalized, at home and abroad; prompt restoration of the navy i a wise reduction of the surplus revenues, relieving tho taxpayer without injuring tho laborer; tho preservation of tho public lands for actual Bottlers; expert duties, when necessary at ail. to be levied not for revenue only, but for tbe double purjwse of revenue and protection; tho regulation of internal commerce; the settlement of international differences by peaceful arbitration, but coupled with tho reasscrsiou and maintenance of the Monroe doctrine as interpreted by the fathers of the republic; perseverance of the good work of civil service reform, to the end that dangers to free institutions whioh lurk in the power of official patronage be wisely and effectively avoided; and an honest currency based on coin of intrinsic value, adding strength to the publio credit and giving renewed vitality to every branch of American industry. During tho last twenty-three years the Republican party hai builded a new republic, a republic far more splendid than that originally designed by our fathers. As its proportions arc already grand, they may yet be enlarged; its foundations may be strengthened, and its column-" adorned with beauty more resplendent still. To you, as its a'ciiitcct-iu-chlef, will soon bo assigned this grateful work,"

Mr. Blalno listened to Gen. Henderson's ad

dress, standing under an elm tree, with his arms folded on his chest, and his eyes usually cast down, but at times wandering about and scanning the faces of tho audience. When Gen. Henderson had concluded speaking, Mr. Walker B:ain, the candidate's son, stepped forward

and handed his father the manuscript of tho address in reply to that of the committee. Mr. Blaine then read as follows: Ma. Chairman asd Gentlemen of toe Na

tional Committee: I receive, not without deep

sensioiuty, your omciai notice or tne action ox the national convention already brought to my knowledgo through the public press. I appreciate, more profoundly than I can express, the honor which is implied in tho nomination for the Presidency by the Republican party of tho nation, speaklngi through the authoritative voice of its duly accredited delegates. To be selected as a candidate by each an assemblage, from the list of eminent statesmen whose names were presented, fills me with embarrassment I can only express my gratitude for so signal an honor, and my desire to prove worthy of the great trust reposed in me. In accepting the nomination, as 1 now do, I am impressed and I am oppressed with a sense ot the labor and responsibility which attaches to my iiosition. The burden is lightened, however, by the host of earnest men who support my candidacy, many of

whom add, as does your nonoraoio committee, the cheer of iiersonnl f riendshin to tho uledge

of political fealty. A more formal acceptance will naturally bo expected, and will in due season be communicated. It may, however, not

be inappropriate at this time to tay that i nave alreadv made a caretul study of the urinciules

announced by the national convention, and in whole and in detail tbey have my heartiest sympathy and meet my unqualified nunoval. Apart

from vour omciai emina, gentlemen, i am extremely hannv to welcome vou all to my house.

With many of you I have already shared tho duties ot public service, and have enjoyed most

cordial frlenuatnp. i trust your journey irom all parts of the great republic has been agreeable, and during vour stay in Maine yon will fool

that you are not among strangor.J, but among friends. Invoking tbe blessing of God npon the great cause whioh wo jointly represent, let us

turn to tne iuiure wunout, tear ana wiui mamy hearts." At the conclusion of Mr. Blaine's reply, the

members of the committee were Introduced to him individually, and an honr was spent in social and informal converse. The members ot the committee then repaired to the residence of Col. Osgood, where the; were entertained at

How David Davis Led Lincoln's Forces

to Tictory In 5. Tho second National Bepublicau Conven

tion was callod to meet at Chicago on

Wednesday, the mtu or May, isihi, and Mr.

Howard's friends regarded his nomination

for President as certain. The Illinois btate

Republican Convention met at Docatura fortnight previous. It was attended by the

political mends of Abraham lancom, who had written urging them to come, as he thought that if supported by the Illinois delegation he might secure the nomination. Few of them agreed with him, but they worked x.ealously for him, and elected three Lincoln delegates-at-large David Davis, Norman B, Judd, aud Stephen T. Logan. The other delegate, Orville H. Browning, was o Bates nmnut Lincoln approved of his election, nayuijf that Bates would have no show, and that when Browning saw this, he would not only go over to him but would take some of his friends with him. Judgo Davis had uerer attended a primary meeting or a caucus, much less a convention, hut Lincoln prevailed upon him to go to Chicago and conduct his campaign. The Judge arrived on the Saturday night previous to tho meeting of the convention. Be found that the parlors of the hoteln had all beeu engaged, and he had to establish his headquarters iu two small connecting rooms in the third story of the Treniont House. The outlook was not encouraging, as tho only Lincoln men on the ground were a few of the delegates from Illinois and Indiana. Thurlow Weed bad thoroughly organized tho Seward cohorts, and the streets were filled with thousands who were shouting tho New York war ory. Lincoln's raw levies were scattered fur and wide aud left at the mercy of disciplined politicians. They had no organization. They were ovon without headquarters. Tho hotels were packed with the noisy friends of Bates and Seward.

ncs. Whn all was in readinesB Mr Blaine was escorted to the lawn, where he stood within

tne arc oi cue semi-cireie. ucn. ucnuorson then stepped forward and presented the address of the committee, Reading from a manuscript, ho spoke as follows : Ma. Blaine: Vour nomination for the office of President of tho United States by tbe National Republican Convention, recently assembled at Chicago, is already known tu you. Tho gentlemen before you, constituting tho committee, composed of one member from each State and Terrl-ory of the country, and one from the District ot Columbia, now come as tho accredited organ of that convention, to give you formal notice of the nomination and to request yonr at ceptancc thereof. It is, of course, known to you that, besides your own, several other names among tho most honored in tho councils of the Republican party were presented by their friends as candidates for the nomination. Between your friends nnd thclriendsof the gentlemen so justly entitled to the respect and confidence of their political associates, the contest wae ono of genroua rivalry, froo from any

David Davis proved himself a political Caraot, and threw tho milsplitter's ling to the breeze. The raw levies were cath-

Niolit and (Invwas

ne busy, farming combinations nnd visiting

delegations. Horace Urcelcy, under the guise of ft delegate from Oregon, appeared as the leader of tho Bates men, and Thurlow Wood tooted defiance from his Seward bugle. Davis visited both leaders, and was showerod with chaff. But his mw levies were not without bucking. On Saturday night he telegraphed to tho lawyers of tho Eighth Circuit, assuring them thut Old Abe'x stock was rising, and that its value would be greatly enhanced by the presence of his friends in force. It was nn electric shock. Tbe State was aroused. On Monday and Tuesday trains poured into the city overflowing with Lincoln shouters. Tbey were enthusiastic, friends, who gladly paid their own way out of love for Lincoln. They massed themselves iu the streets, and raised a din that astonished tho noisy retainers of Seward, They thronged the corridors of

tho hotels and awoke the echoes of the night with their cheers. Hourly their number increased. They poured into tho wigwam as soon as the doors were opened, and tho very atmosphere of the convention seemed surcharged with their enthnsiasm. The two small rooms on tho third floor of the Treniont House were the scene of unwonted activity. Every order was promptly executed. Lawyers acted as messengers and judges watched the cars for belated delegates. Under Davis guidance the work was thoroughly done, When he entered tho city on Saturday night barely fifty weakkneed delegates stood uuder the Lincoln

flag. On the first ballot tho rail-splitter

polled 103 votes, to 173 i for Seward and 4

for Hates. The lanky cohorts in tho oat

lories nearly lifted the rcof with their

cheers. The necond ballot gave Lincoln

181, Seward 181J, and Bates 35. Again the brawny friends of Old Abe roared with delight. The Soward men turned pale, and

Thurlow s knees smote together as ho saw the writinor on tho wall. Lireoln was nom

inated ou the next ballot by & vote of 354 to 110 for Seward, and the whole State of

Illinois was thrown into ecstasy. That

night Judge Davis went to bed for the first time in six days, haviug conquered at a total

cost, all told, of $700.

Judge Davis went to Springfield the next day and had a long interview with Mr. Lincoln. The candidate offered to refund the

$700, hut tho Judge said that his friends would not hear of it. Mr. Lincoln's friends

urged Judge Davis to take the stump in his

behalf. He did so, and made the most ef

fective speeches. Nor did he relax his ex

ertions until the closintr of the oolls. Lin

coln carried the State by a plurality of 11.940 over Douglas, and a majority of only 4,029 4,029 over all the candidates, in a popular vote of 339,093. Ben: Perleu Poore, in

Massachusetts may be satisfied with the loyalty of Benjamin H. Bristow; so am I; bat if any man can not carry the State of Massachusetts I

am not satisfied with tho loyalty ot that State.

If the nominee of this convention can not carry

the grand old Commonwealth of Massachusetts by seventy-five thousand majority, I would advise them to sell out Faneull Hall as a Demo

cratic headquarters. I would advise them to take from Bunfcor Hill that old monument ot

glory. The Republicans of the United States demand as their leader in the great contest of 137ii a man

of intelligence, a man or well known ana ap

proved political opinions. - They demand a statesman; they demand a reformer after aa well as before the election. They demand a politician in the highest, broadest, and best

sense A MAN OF SUPEBB MORAL COURAGE.

Tbey demand a man acquainted with publio

affairs, with the wants of the people; with not

only the requirements of the hour, but with the

demands oi tne iuture. lAppiause.j Thev demand a man broad enough to com

prehend the relations ot tho Government to tho

other nations of the earth. They demand a mau well versed in tho powers, duties, and prerogatives of each and every department ot this Government. They demand a man who will sacredly preserve the financial honor ot the

i-nited Hiates; one wno Knows enough o Know that the national debt mw-t bo paid through the prosperity of this people; one who knows enonsrh to know that all the financial theories

I The Republicans ot the United Statesdemand a man who knows that prosperity and resumption, when they come, must come together; that when they come they will come hand in hand through the golden harvest fields; hand in hand by the whirling spindles and the turning wheels; hand in hand past the open furnace doors; hand in hand by the chituneys filled with eager fire, greeted aud grasped uy the countless eons of toll. This money has to be dug out of the earth. You cannot make it by passing resolutions in a political convention. (.Applause. The Republicans of tbeX'nlted States want a man who knows that this Government should protect every citizen, at home and abroad: who knows that any Government that will not dofend its defenders and protect its protectors is a disgrace to the map of the world. Tbey demaud a man who believes in the eternal separation and divorcement of church and school. They demand a man whose political reputation is as spotless as a star; but they do not demand that tneir candidate shall have a certificate of moral character signed by a Confederate Congress. The man who has IN FULL-HEAPED AND BOUNDED MEASURE all these splendid qualifications is the present grand and gallant leader, of the Republican party James G. Blaine. Our country, crowned with the vast and marvelous achievements of its first century, asks for a man worthy of tbe past and prophetic of her future; asks for a man who has tho audacity of genius; asks for a man who Is the grandst combination of heart, conscience, and bruin beneath her flag such a man is James G.

This is a grand year a year filled with recollections of the revolution; filled with the proud and tender memories ot the past; with the sacred legends of liberty a year in whioh the sons ot lreedom will drink from the fountains of enthusiasm; a year in which the people call for a man who has preserved in Congress what our soldiers won upon the field ; a year in whioh they call for a man who has torn from the throat of treason tho tongue ot slander for the man who has snatched the mask of Democracy from the hideous face of rebellion; for the man who, like au intellectual athlete, has stood in the arena of debate and challenged all comers, and who is Still a total stranger to defeat.

No candidate for the Presidency since Mr. Clay has possessed so many personal and mental qualities as Mr. Blaine, so attractive to tho better class of young men in the South.

Ex-Sesatob Tom Piatt, of New York, says he is advised that the Republicans of tho rural districts of that Btate are a unit for Blaine, and that, with the aid of Democrats who admire the Bepublican nominee, he will poll an

Democrats are in high glee over

Blaine's nomination. So they were over Garfield's. All tho same, Garfield was elected. It takes something more than high gleo to defeat any kind of a Republican candidate, and Democrats will do well not r- forget it. Newark (2V. J.) Free Frees.

UNCLE SAM'S PURSE.

Its Condition at the Close of the Government Fiscal Tear.

The Gold Coin and Silver Bullion Fund Workings of the Sew Tariff;' Washington telegram. The Government fiscal year closed on the 30th ult., and the public debt statement shows a reduction of $101,000,000, against a redaction of $138,000,000 during the previous year ending June 30, 1883. An examination of the interest-bearing debt shows, however, that tho actual reduction daring the year has been nearly $112,000,000, which represents a permanent annual saving in the interest account of over $3,250,000. Tho one hundred and twenty-eighth call for 3 per cent, bonds matured June 30, aud the $10,000,000 thus called were taken from the column of bonded debt, whioh will explain the apparent discrepancy between the aggregate reduction given in the debt statement and the actual amount of redaction ia bon ded debt for the year as given in these dispatches. The gold coin and bullion fund is now nearly $205,000,000, an increase sinoe June 1 of about $3,000,000; while, however, this fund shows an increase of $3,000,000 for the month, there has been a decrease in the amount of gold owned by the Treasury of $4,300,000, the outstanding gold certificates having increased since June I $12,000,000. The amount of these certificates now outstanding is over $71,000,000, and the amount of gold in the Treasury not covered by certificates, $133,729,914. The number of silver dollars now on hand is $135,560,916, an increase of nearly $3,000,fl00 for the month, and since July 1, 1(383, of $23,646,897. The amount of silver certificates outstanding is $96,420,000, thus leaving tbe number of silver dollars not covered by certificates over $39,000,000, on increase sinoe June 1 of nearly $4,000,000. The available cash in tho Treasury is $139,887,439, a falling off of $8,000,000 since June 1, 1883. During the month the national banks withdrew $6,000,000 in 3 per cent bonds for redemption under the call, and deposited iu their place $4,000,000 of higher rate bonds. The amount of bonds now held to secure" national bank circulation is $334,-

000,000, against $357,000,000 one year ago, thus BhowtuR a withdrawal of bank circula

tion for the year of about $20,000,000. Tho contraction, however, in this portion of the

oirculatinc medium is more than compen

sated for in tho increase of outstanding gold and silver certificates, during the post twelve months the increase in silver certificates having been nearlv $24,000,000 and gold certificates over $11,000,000. - The total receipts for the year were $348,000,000 against $398,000,000 for tho preceding year, a difference of $50,000,000 in round numbers.

During the discussion of tho tariff bill in Congress it was estimated that the passage of the revouuo bill then pending would work a reduction of about $70,000,000 per annum. The actrtnl redaction in these two sources, as shown by figures reported to the Treasury Department, is a few thousand

short of .otKi.tts), the reduction in customs having been $19,000,000 and internal revenue $23,000,000, The following table shows receipts from all sources for the fiscal year compared with

THE TEMPERANCE ISSUE.

A letter from Han. Kcal Dow. Freeport (DA) Dispatch. It haviug been stated that the Bon. Heal Dow, of Maine, who was a candidate for the Presidency on the Prohibition ticket four years ago, would refuse to support the National Prohibition nominations this year, and work for tho success of the Bepublican ticket, Russell J. Hazlett, t this city, who is the Grand Worthy Secretary of the Illinois Good Templars Grand Lodge, wroto to him for his views on the question of a third party. The following reply was received this afternoon: PortxiAND, Me., Juno 27, 1884. R. J. Hazlett, Grand Worthy Secretary, Good Templars, Freeport, HI. : Dear Sib: Your note of the 24th is received. The newspaper slip you send me correctly reports my views as to the wise action of the temperance men of Maine, Kansas and Iowa. The Bepublican party in those States has steadily favored prohibition and has afforded the people an opportunity to put their wU as to tho liquor traffic into tho constitution. I think it is for the interest of the temperance cause to show the country that the party has lost nothing in those States by such action.- As to Ohio, Indiana, Illinoir, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Pennsylvania. New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Bhodo Island, and Connecticut, the temperance men owe tho Bepublican party nothing, aud it has no just claim whatever on them for help in any election. You ask me if it is really true that I look on the third party action with disfavor. So far f roin that, I am sure wo con never win in any other way. Tho sooner wo come to that the sooner wo shall accomplish our purpose. Respectfully, Nbal Dow. SELF-STARVATION. Death of a. Woman Who Lived Fifty-three -Days Without Food. Atchison (Kan.tZtelcgram.
