I mean Tr ' uias Blumble, of the importing house of "Hood, Stiver d Blumble." He vu very fond of lettine people, know that he disregarded the charms of the softer sex, and was frequently heard to pay that he would like to ee the woman th:"rt could tft't him under his thumb. There wan a time, of ooure, when Mumble was susceptible to the overturn of Cupid ; because when he was. plain "Tom," of fifecn years of age, and left "Hock Cove," came to the city and entered the employ of "Mensor, Tigby & Hood," he left behind him a young "Polly Ann," with many a sigh and tear, and more vows than both put together, to be true till death. For two year he wrote constantly to his I'olly Ann. rcpeathg the manifold vows of boyhood love; then he was promote I from boy to entry clerk, and sion after was Introduced to a very bewitching young lalv. wliora we may be allowed to call Hattie Elton. Then he forgot his Folly Ann down in Roek Cove, and became verv attentive to Miss Elton; he aecom1anicd her to the theater and made ter presents ; he got trusted for his new coat, and with the money that should have paid for it they took a sleigh-ride to Brighton, and (t asted on hot chickens and champagne ; to please her he learned to polka and waltz; the schottische and varsovienne Mere not In vogue then. Things had sped along very smoothly for about a vear; so Tom thinking he ic?ht as well have the thing settled at once, popped the question. Miss Elton appeared very much surprised ; for a moment she remained silent, then lifting up both bunds, she exclaimed ; Why, Mr. Mumble she had constantly called him 4 Tom' for six months, previous I've been engaged these two years didn't you know It f" " Know It? Xo," replied Plumule in utter astonishment. " Why, yes, I've been cngngod to Charley Imd'ley lor a long while, and I thought you knew all about it. and waa only paying attention to me out of politeness. Charley Is In New York now, but we are to be married next Christmas." " Married next" We may guess w hat Mumble was aTiout to say, but we shall always be In doubt, for, instead of finishing Ids sentence, he took his hat and rushed out of the house, not even waiting to make the parting salutation of " good evening." Perhaps he waa afraid to trust his gnashing teeth, for fear they would change his well-meant words Into some wlcketf expression. Tom. in the privacy of his own chamber, w ith his door locked, his elbows tifon his light-stand, and his face quite buried In his hands, reverted to the year's time and the many dollars he had thrown away on Miss Elton ; then ho thought of poor Tolly Ann, whom he had "cut'' so shauitfully, down In Rock Cove, and he

decided to write to her, to offer pressing business as an excuse for not having written before, to sue lor pardon for past negligence, and to assert that his affections were still unaltered and unalterable. So he unburied his face, and penned the tender missive full of falsehoods and rule love, which he dispatched with the fullest confidence that Tolly Ann would be very happy to receive It. Rut alas for poor human expectations! Tolly Ann's letter came. It was brief; she told Blumble she hud hoard of his attentions to the city lady, that she had almost forgotten him, and was going to marry Jerry Smike, the village blacksmith, the next week. She returned to Tom his earliest efforts in love-letter writing and a look of his hair, and requested hiui to return to her sundry article in that line that he had received from her. From that day Rlumble announced himself to the world as a woman-hatr. He had been false to one woman, and one woman had tricked him. So he cried down the whole sex. The time which Blumble had heretofore divided between love and business was now devoted to business, and in consequence he received one promotion after another until he had the Pleasure of seeing his own name the thira on the sign over the door which he had entered as an errand boy. 1 don't believe he remembered that there was any such person in the world as Hattie Elton or Tolly Ann, the first day the new sign was raised. It was as the junior member of the firm that Blumble had traveled through the New England States two years ajo last fall with samples, receiving orders. During his tour he remained in the pretty Tillage of T., N. H., one fine night in October. He sat in the bar-room after supper, mkir-q h! c!g.r, until It became rilled with villagers, d.scussing politic, smoking their pipes, talking of their crops and ogling him, all of whi ih was quite uninteresting to him, so he concluded to walk out and view the village bv moon'ght. He had hardly stepped Into the entry, and before he could close the dxr, ere he huard a voice Inquire : Who Is that gentleman?" "His name is lilutnble; he's from Boston." replied the landlord. Blumble, Irotu Boston," chimed in a third voice, and then added, Vou don't say so!" followed by a long low whistle of astonishment. Blumble stepped on the piazza and walked up the village street. He had scarce walked twenty yards before he was aware of being followed. Giving the matter but little thought, however, he turred from the road into a pleasant lane that wended its way toward some hall-dozen farm-houses until he came to a rustic seat, upon which he threw himself and was soon oblivious to all the world t vpting the business atlairs of "Hood. Stiver i Blumble." He sat until his cigar was consumed, when he was aroused to the world around hlra by the village clock striking out ten- "Buttoning his coat close around him, he hurried down the lane toward the hotel. As he turned from the lane Into the great road he was suddenly and not very softly seized by the throat, by the sho'ulder, and by the coat-tails by at least a dozen hands. He

was rather too much surprised to speak, even if he had a chance to do so; the hands so closely clenched around his throat would have prevented his speaking if he had not teen so greatly surprised. As he could not speak, he listened very patiently to soue half dozen exclamations of "Now we've got you ! Something desperate must lie done; so Blumble struck the follow full In the face that held him by the throat, knocking him down, anif. then cried out as though he expected that this would be the last chance he would ever liave to speak: ' What In the deuce an: you about?" The striking question had a miraculous effect upwn the numerous hands distributed about his iTson, and Blumble was free. He waited a few momenta to regain his breath; tin n looking around him, asked very energetically: What does all this mean T' 44 It means that if you don't promise to leave town and not go to see Mary Gay again, we'll just hiiie you, and then ride you out of town on a fail." said the young man, the recipient of the blow, who had regained his leet. Leave town? Mary Gay? Why, I do not understand what you mean." renrirked Blumble, considerably mystified. ' Well, sir," Interrupted another voice, 44 we mean that vou've come here from Boston to court Nlary Gay, and you mean to cut out Bill Higdy here ; now if you don't give up Mary and leave town "tomorrow night, we ll pitch you into the mill-nond." Hold on a moment." salJ Rlumble ; 44 1 think you have got hold of the wrong person, as I have not the acquaintance of Miss Gay, nor, In fact, of any other lady in this place. But 1 want you to understand one thing distinctly, and that is. I shall not leave town until I gt t ready." Something about Blumble's manner seemed to convince the yojng rnen that he was In earnest, for they uttered various expressions, such as, 44 That's a likely story !" " He's gassing !" " I don't believe that," etc. Men invariably express doubts when being convinced of something they had rather not believe. For a few minutes the whole party remained in silence ; then one of the young denizens of P. broke the spell by asking: 44 Ain't your name Blumble f 44 Yes, sir." "And you are from Boston ?" 44 Ye. sir." "And don't you know Mary Gay?" 44 No, sir." 44 Well, that's strange ! She sal 1 his name was Blumble, and that's your name; he lelongs to Boston, and so do you ; and you've been right up by her houe, and we believe vou've been there to see her. Don't we, Bill?" 44 Yes, we do," replied Higlv. 44 Weil, young men," said Rlumble, "if you don't believe me, go ask the youn ady herself." '1 his proposition was met with approval by the whole party, so Blumble started back up the lane, accompanied by a large escort I fore. In hind, and or. each fide of him. They filed Into the yard, and crowded on to the steps of a reat-Ioking farm house, and Ilivdy knocked at the door. In a lew moments one of the chamber windows was opened and a protruding head asked : " Who's here ?" 44 Come down to the door a minute, Squire, will you?" asked Rill.

4 Why, what do you want V inquired the voice in the chainN-r window 'Kve. We want to see Mary a minute," replied a voice from the crowd below. Why, she has been nbel th-K two hours. Is It anything important?" Yes; wewanttOMeherJustaininute." " Well, Til speak to her' In a few minutes Mary appeared at the door. She wa-s very good lHkin. notwithstanding her bcin clle I out of bed at such an unseasonable hour and so thought Rlumble. For some moment the whole company reuiiucd sjttvhh-s. At last Mumble, tiring of his contpicuws situation, and the nothing-to-say" spirit

ol Uie party, broke the silence by a.aing the younr lady If she had ever seen him be fore. Not that I n-nieuiber of," she replied. "I only asked vou to satisfy these young men," said Rlumble. Then he ala't your city beau !" a-ked Higdy. "No!" as short as though it had been but one letter. Then we were mistaken,' said a voice in the yard, and two or three of the party slid out at the gate. " I am Very sorry that I have been the indirect cause of this annoyance to you ; but it is no fault of mine. This gentleman." pointing- to Higdy, " and his party seized me and would not allow me to proceed to my hotel until I had proveu to them that I had not been visiting you. I must now leave them with you to make their own explanations, and bid you good evening." Good evening," said the young lady, In a very sweet voice. Somehow Rlumble didn't sleep very

Her New York beau had heard of her flirtations with Blumble, and for that reason broke his engagement with her; and she. who might have been Mrs. Thomas Blumble. must be content to be Mrs. Mumble's servant. A Carpet Story. It Is said by those who ought to know that when Buckingham Talac was being fitted up as a home for the Shah one of the chief rooms was adorned with a rich carpet which had been designed and manufactured especially to thaim the eye ol His Majesty. The" story goe on to say that a couple of the Persian suite came here a week ago to see that all things were In nadinesand nothing overlooked, and that when they reached that particular room and glanced at the lovely combination of green figures and w bite ones in that carp t they gathered their robc-s canfully up about their knes anl tli-n went elaboraUdy tiptoeing about the floor with the aspect and anxiety of a copie of cats hunting for dry ground in a wet country, and they stepped only on the white figures and almost fainted win-never they came near touching a green one. It is said that the explanation is that these visiting Persians are all MahomBiedan, and green W in a color sacred to the descendants of the Trophtt, and none of the people being so descended, it would be dreadful profanation for them to defile the holy color with their feet. And the general result ol it all was that that carpet had to be taken up, and is a dead los. Man Is a singular sort of human being, after all, and bis religion does not aiwavs adorn hirn. Now, our religion I the right one, and has fewer odd and striking features than any other; ar.d yet my ancestors used to roast Catholic and witches and warm their hands by the fire; but they would have blanched with horror at the' bare thought of breaking the Sabbath. And here Is a Persian monarch, w ho never sets any impropriety In chopping a subject's head off for the mere misdemeanor of calling him too early for breakfast, and yet would be consumed with pious remorse If his unheeding foot were to chance to step upon anything so green as yon or 1, my reader. Oriental peoples say that women have no souls to save, and." almost without my memory, msny American Protestants said tne same of babies.

Klxlng the Responsibility. Durinjj twelve consecutive years the Republican party ha. held complete control over every department of the Government executive, legislative, and judicial. Thee haslMt'it no interruption to this Ion :-cont i lined and extraordinary rvign. For whatever d good may lwe been achieved in that lime it is entitled to the fullest cToIit. For w hatever of evil may have been inflicted on the country it is alone responsible. The wop!i Ireely ge their oiit'nieiut and support, and they have a riht to demand a strict account of this stewardship.

Animated at the outsit by gnat princi J pics affecting human riht and the maintenut of the Union, the R publican organization hxs tiecn perveru-d to the biset umh. and now stands before the country steeled lr. crrupri.n and crime. Its leaders with rare exceptions are venal, protlignte, dishonest, M-ltl-h, and utterly unworthy of the h ast conti nence. Those who affected laorality, preached teiiicr anceand advocated reform, made merchandise of profession which they scouted In secret and stand revealed by recent investigations as the very worst of tracing Impostors and knave. Institute of any guiding principle, and manage I by corrupt Rings, the mission of the Republican party is ended. A camr which opened proudly and under the noblest auspices w ill close in shame, and with none so poor as to do it reverence. Its ftll even will not be re-leemed by one sign of departing grandeur, for among those w ho w ill struggle to avert this certain political doom there is not a I single champion worthy to be classed In appropna:i. to the criuaneMi injury oi actiul M-ttiers ; for the rule i.f earet-basr-gvrs in the Smth. by which i"..(JJ.tNl have lm--n stol. n from an oppro-ed and outrage 1 people; tor spoliations by which the Rulians ani the Treasury are robbed througa Irau Kilerit :in:ra;tu s, ag nts, an-loutraifou contnn: swindling ; tor the w kcrv of a civil servv ty nieun ot wxs constantly uoue w hen a political pur pose w as to be served. For a long part of thi acnJancy, the Republican had majorities exceeding twiMhird of the S'nate and House of Representatives. Every comxittee was in tnt ir possession, so that it wa not possible to report a bill which had not the endcrs"ment of a Republican majority. Every avenue of legislation wa picketed by keen pioneers, with a supporting arm of drilled troops ever within call.

They knew the nature, extent, and objector" every one of the mighty schemes which have left a lasting stain upon the statute book and Inflicted a death wound on the party which fa'hered these outrage. 1 hey pased them knowingly, and w hat is worse, they paed them tor personal profit and with venal collusion. There thev stand to-day to the lasting dishonor of all concerned in tills Infamous legislation. -V. )". Suit. A Sew I'se for the Amy. S:m extraordinary f tcf recently brought to lignt bj the New Orleans Ilrr IA would seem to indicate that Kellogg, of Ixuiian. had very hnortant interets of hi own to serve in usurping the office of Governor of that MAte. Although there Is reason to believe that the usurpation was encouraged In Washington under the supposition that Rrother-in-law Casey "ould he elected S nator by nYcting the overthrow of the legal State Government, it is not likely that Mr. Kellogg himself was actuated in his course, by any special lesire that a member of the ruling family should represent Louisiana In the United States S-nate. He has aiwavs had the reputation of tiking very good care of hi own interest, and it is quite possible that in pretending that he was elected Governor of Ixtuis'iana he wa actuarcd quite a much t-y a regard for his own pecuniary benefit as by zeal for the perpetuation of Republican rule In that State, or affection for the President" kindred. It has become quite common for politicians to seek for the oftW of Governor as a stepping-stone to the Tailed State Senate; but it L something new for a L'nited States Senator to intrigue for an election a Governor. And where, a in Kellogg' ca.e. a man usurps an office In defiance ol the popular vote, rendering hlmelf liable to be lirnominiouiy jectI from it the moment law and Justice are able to notify a grievous w rong, he mut have some extraordinary objevt to attain by his action. The New Orleans Herald avers that Mr. Kellogg hail personal reason of a very peculiar and substantial character for wishing to exercise the authority of Governor of !OuUiana. It says that he Is the owner of $.H .( ) In bonds of what Is I called the Back! -one Kailroad, a Louisiana corporation, although it doe not say how he got litem, trial oeing a joint enveiojo. in some1 obscurity. It I said that they were eiven him f r service rendered, though w hat services worth hall a million of dollars he could have rendered to a road that exists only on paper Is a mystery. To be sure as SVnator he managed to get a granted 4.400.CM) acres of land for this road, but he would doubtless indignantly

deny any accusation of receiving a bribe for his vote and influence in Congress, and so nobody seems to U-able to ex plain Low ho got the bond. But they are his, the Herald says, and they are. or rentiv were, deposited with the l.'nlon Trust Company la this ity. l'nf'rtuiiately for Mr. Kellogg there Las been no active demand lor Backbone bonds, but he ha it Li bis power as Governor of Louisiana to s-ctldy give a e-h value to the documents, which hitherto have not Urn in a ehai.etoben-adiljcoii-v-rted into greenback. This work f; ha entered iihi with more z si thiui uWrctiori. Mid from preset iippt&ranoi It is probable that the BackNitie ttonds will mmmi be avaiial4 for lit gotialioa ami on term which will tUrtly sati-Uc-tory t the owners. - - If Mr. Kellogg succced In rewli7.ingh;ill a million Oollais io this ojx ration alone, through the use t f his Usurped authority', it will be a giHul deal more than he would have made in the Senate, and Iu siecul ition in s Izing the Government of Ixuisi.ina w ill prove a proli table one pluniarily.

Destruction of the Raffalo. It will afford every well-balanced mln I some satUlaction to learn that Uie men w ho have been doing their U st to exterminate the buffalo Irom our Western plains have had their enthusiasm rhtshed bsr a decided lall in the price of hide. It is estiruatcd that at least 'JuU.ls.KI huHws were slaughtered last year, priic-Laily for their skins alone. "The h-rds have en driven by th extension f iiiin ;t into a comparatively restric'.el districT. where gangs of border marksmen can git them in a corner and butcher them without mercy.

Now a skin that would have brought live Collars a year and a half ago w ill scarcely sdl tor a dollar and a hall. The glut of buf.alo hides has become so great that tU-y have btn exported in large quantities to Europe. Almost every day in Jhe htre-ts of New York we see long str ng of drays lolled down with the hides of tleai.imais. In Franc and lU l'iuui a? my contractors are buying them up at the present low rates in large quantities for the purpose of making them into all kinds of military equipments, such a straps, cords, harness, and the like. At tlw; preterit time the average price in Chicago lor buffalo hidea ranges from one dollar an I a hilf to two dot ars and a half. Inducting commissions and experses, a buffalo hunter realizes alout one dollar for each skin that he sell.
