In the summer our residence is a charniing one; the gavden especially is delighttul and attracts tr()(){)s of London friends. ‘They are. not only always willing to dine with us, but drop in of their own madtion and stay for the last train to town.! The vague observation ‘‘any- fine' day,” or the more evasive rhrase “some. fihe ' day,” used in complimentary invitations, are then very dangerous for us to- employ, for we are taken at. our word, just as though we meant it. This would: be very gratifying, however expensive, if it only happened all the year round. But from October toJunenobody comes neaxr us. ! - In reply to our modest Mvitations we « then receive such expressions of tender regret, as would convince the most sceptical: **a previous engagement,” *tindisposition of our youngest \born,’’ *“the horses ll,”” some c:lt,:istro\)he or other, always preventsour friends from

enjoying another evening with us’ “like - that cﬁarming‘ one they spent last % July,” They hope, however, to be given the same happy chance again, **when the weather is a little less inclement,”” by which-they mean next summer. Ags for coming to dine with ns in winter, they will see us further first-- by which they mean nearer first. Sometimes at their own boards we hear th?s stated, though of couise without any intentional application. Some guests will observe to us, « propos of dinners: ‘lt is most éxtraordinary how - people whd live half a dozen miles out of townwill attempt to ignore the seasons :uu% expect youto go and dine with fhem just as if it was August, through four feet of snow. - It does really seem -as Jones, our excellent host, was saying the other day—the very height of personal congeit.” o | As we hm’t}\occ'upied our present residence for some years, we have long . had the conceit taken out of us; but we have still our feelings. Our social toes are not absolutely frost-bitten, and when thus trodden upon we are aware of the circumstances. . It grieves us to know what Jones has t?nou_«_‘,rht (and said) of us, and my wife drops a quiet tear or-two during our drive home in the brougham. lam bound to. confess it is rather & long ride. 'I find myself dropping asleep bhefore: we have-left © brick and mortar behind us, and as we eross the great common near our home - I feel a considerable chdnge in the temperature. It is a beautiful breezy spot, with a lovely view in suminer time; the playground of the butterfly add the place of business of the bee; but in winter it is cold and lonely enough. ' In the daytime there is.nobody there at all., In the evening, at uncertain intervals, thereis the patrol. In old times it used to be a favorite hannt of the Knights of the Road; during whose epoch, by the by, Ishould fancy that those who lived in the locality found it even more difficult to collect their friends around them than now. It has still a bad name for tramps and vagabonds, which makes my ;wifg a little nervous

when the days begin to ‘‘draw in”’ amd our visitors .to draw - off. She insists » upon my going over the house before retiring to rest every night and making a report of “All’swell.”” Being myself not much over five feet high 'in my * boots, and considerably less in my slippers (in which I am wont to make-these peregrinations), it has often suggested itself to.my mind that it ‘would He more judicious to'leave, the burglars to do their worst, as regards the plate and things, and not risk what is (to me) much more valuable. Of course I could *hold the lives of half a dozen men in my hand"’--a quotation froni my favorite author—by merély arming myself with a loaded revolvér; but the simple | fact is, I am_so unskilled in the use of any weapon - (uniess the umbrella can be called such), that I should be just as likely to begin with shootitig number one (that is° myself), as nuniber two, the ‘‘first ruflian.”” ~ <Never, willingly, nmy dear,” say 1 to Julia, **will 1 shed the life-blood of any human being, and lcast of all my own.” Onthe other hand, as I'believe in the force of imaginatjon, I always carry on these expedi- ' tions, in* the pocket of my dressinggown, a child’s pistol —belonging to our infant, Edward John—which looks like a real one, and would, I am persuaded, have all the effects of a real one in my hands without the element of persohal peril/ “Misepable ruflihns,” [ had made up my mind to say, when conling upon the gang, “‘your lives ave in.my power”” (here Coxhibit the pistol’s butt), *‘but out of perhaps a mistaken clemency I will onlv shoot one of you, the one that is the last to leave my house. - 1 shall count six” (or sixtec:, according to the number of the ganv), ‘ ¢sand then_ fire”” - Upon which they would, I caleulated, a,l[7 skedaddle hel-ter-peltcr to the door they gotin at. wlich I should lock and double-lock _ after them. ‘You may ask, Why double- " loek? bt you will get no satisfactory reply. 1 know no more what to © **double-lock” means than you do, hut’ my favorite novelist —a sensational oné ~-always uses it, and I conclude he ought to know. it was the beginninzof a miséy‘ October, when the leaves hd fallen off early, and our friends ha followed their example, and I had been gitting up alone into the small hours resolute to read my favorite author to the bitter end—his third volume, wherein all the chief charasters (except the comic ones) are slain, save one, who is left sound in wind and limb, but with - an hereditary disposition to éommit suicide. Somewhat de‘Fressed by its pe‘rusal -and oxceec_ling y sleef)y, I went about my usual task of seeing all was right in a somewhat careless and per- : hmctor_{ manner. All .was right apparently in the drawing-room,:all right certainly in the study (where 1 had my- . self been sitting), and fill right—no, ' mot quite all right in our little back hall or vestibule, where, upon the round . table, the very la;gest and thickest pair- . of navyy’s boots I ever saw werestandgg between my. wife's neat little umbrella and a ?n.ir of her ga.rdlenini gloves. Eyen in that mm:l moment - remember the sense of contrast and in- . y struck mo almost as forcibly ! he presence of the boots themselves; ;- and Lhey astonished %altmq me as + much as the sight of the famous foot~prints did Robinson Crusoe, and for. - snd the print were nothing in themBel e T

selves, but my intelligence, now fully awakened, at once flew to the conelusion that somebody. must have been there to have left them, and was probably in the ueighborhood, and indeed under my foof, at that very moment. If you give Prof. Owen a foot of any creature (just as of less scientific persons we say: -Give them an inch, they will take an ell), he will build up the whole animal out of his own head‘: and something of the Professor’s marvellous instingt was on this occasion mine. I pictured to myself (and as it turned out, correctly) a monster more than six feet high, broad in the shoulders, heavy in the jowl, with legs like stone- balustrades, dand hands, but too often ‘clenched, of the size of pumpkins. The vestibule led into the pantry, where no doubt this giant, with his one idea, or half a one, would conclude the chief -part of our plate to be, whereas it was Iying—unless he had already taken it; ‘a terrible thought that flashed through ‘my mind, followed by a‘cluster of others, like - & comet with its tail--under our bed. . .

- Of course I could have gone to the pantry at once, but I felt averse to be precipitate; perhaps (upon ﬁp(lini; nothiny to steal) this poor wretch .would feel remorse for what he had ‘ done and go away. It would be a ~wicked thing to deprive him of the op‘portunity of repentance. Moreover, it struck me that he might not be a theif after all, but only a cousin (considerably ‘‘removed’’) of one of the maid servants. It would have been very wrong of her to let him into the house at such an hour, but it was just possible that she had done so, and that he was at that moment supping in the kitchen upon certain .cold grouse which I knew were in the larder. Snch a state of things.l repeat, would have been reprehensible. but [ most sincerly hoped that it had occured. A clandestine attachment, however misplaced, is better than burglary with possible violence. Coughing rather loudly, to give the gentleman notice that I was about, and to suggest that he had better take himself off in my temporary absence, I went up to the attics to make inquiries. And here 1 am tempted to a digression coneerning the excessive somnolency of female domestics. As regards our-own, at least, they remind me, except in number, of the Seven Sleepers. 4 knocked at their door about a quarterof an hour before attracting their attention. and it took me another to convinge them (through ‘he keyhole) thit it was not fre. -If it had been, they must all have been burnt in their beds. Relieved. on this point, they ‘were scarcely less excited and ¢ put out” by the communication I was compelled to make to them, though conveyed with the utmost delicacy and refinement of. which language is capable. I asked’ them whether byt acident one of th:m¢ chanced to have a male relative who wore exceptiorfilly thick highlows; and if he was likely tohave called recently ~—that very evening, for example. ! They all replied in indignant chorus that- they had ‘never *heard of such a thing—by which they meant the sug.gestion; and that no cousin of theirs ever did" wear highlows, being all females without exception. | Satistied as to this (and greatly disappointed), I felp that it was now incumbent upon me to pursue my researches. Candle in hand and pistol in pocket, I therefore cxplore the pantrv. To my great relief, it was empty. Was it possible that the thief had -departed? if so, he had gone without his highlows, for there they stood on the vestibule table as large as life, and, from the necessity of tle. case, a size or two larger. Their build and bulk, indeed impressed | me more than. ever. Was 1t possible that only one burglar had come in t®ose boots? . ’- " I entered the kitchen: not a mouse was stirring: on the other hand, there was a legion of- black beetles, who | scattled away.in all dircctions except one. They avoided the dresser—beneath which lay the gentleman I was | looking for, curled up in a space much too small for him, but affecting to be asleep. Indeed, though previously I had not "evenr heard him breathe, no sooner did the liglt from my candle fall upon him than lre began to snore stentoriously. I felt at onc¢e that this was to give me the idea of the slumber that follows -homest toil. I knew be~ fore he spoke that he was going to tell me how, tired and exhansted,%e had taken shelter under my roof, with no other object -(however suspicious might be the circumstances of his vosition) than a night’s rest.. of which he stood in urgent nced. : “Don’t shoot, sir,”” he said, forl took care to let the handle of Edward John’s pistal protrude from my dress-ing-gown. . ““I'am pcor, but honest; I only came in here for the warmth and to have a snooze.”

“How diil you get in?* I inquired, sternly. : ‘I just prized up the wash’'us’ winder,” was his plaintive reply, *and laid down ’ere.”” .

' ““Then you put out your boots in the back hall to be cleaned in the morning, I suppose?”’ SO U ;

At this he grinned a dreadful grin. It seemed to say: ¢‘As you have the whip-hand of me, youmay be as humorous as you please; but if it was not for that pistol, my fine friend, you would be laughing on the other side of your mouth, Ireckon.” **Come, march,” said 1.. “Put on your boots.'” : @ He got up as a wild beast rises from his lair, and slouched before me into the hall.

Though =he looked exceedingly wicked, I felt.grateful to him for going 8o peaceably, and was moved “to compassion. - 2 - “* Were you really in want, that you came here?”’ I said. ‘‘Are you hunoryeY : . ~ “Not now,” he answered, witha leer. ; 2

Of course he was intimating that he had supped at my expense, and at the time I thought it frank of him to acknowledge it. ~ If T had known then, as I learnt afterward, that he had eaten a grouse and a half, and the whole contents of a layze jar of Devonshire cream which we had just received as a present, I should have thought timiere im--pudence. Idid think it rather impudent when he said, as he stood at the front door, which [ had opened for his exit:

“Won't you give me half-a-crown, sit, to put me in an honest way of business?”’ But, nevertheless, thinking it better to part good friends, 1 gave him what he asked for.- He spit upon the coin **Jof luck.’ as Ie was good enough to explain, and also, perhaps, as a substitute for thanks, since he omitted to give me any, and slouched down the gravel sweep and out of the gate. It was three o’clock; the mist had began to clear, and the moon and stars were shininz. A sort of holy calm be§an to pervade me. I felt that I had one a ¢ood action and also got rid of a very dangerous individual, and that it was high time that I should go to bed in peace with all men. My wife, however, who had been roused by the gerv‘ants, was on the tip-toe of .expectation to hear all that had taken place, and of ‘course 1 had to tell her all. I described ‘each thrilling_incident with such dra‘matic force that she averred thatnothing ‘would ever induce her in my absence to.sleep in the hguse again. “This was ‘perhaps but the just punishment for a trifle of exaggeration in the narrative with which 1 had here and there indulged myself, but it was very unfortunate. Now and then I find myself detained in town, after dining af the club, by circumstances over which I have no control (such asa rubber at whist, which sometimes stretch like India rubber), and hitherto 1 had only to telegraph in the afternoon to exgress‘ my regret that there was a possibility of my non-return. Here was an end to all tl)n'is. unless I could reassure her. I therefore began to dwell upon the unlikelihood of a second burglar ever visit‘ing the house, which I compared with that famous hole made by a cannonball, said to be a place of security from cannon-balls for evermore, - ““Oh, don’t tell me," cried my wife, with just a truce of imgatient irritation in her voice. * Hark!” goodness gracions, what is that coming along the road!” p A

,She thought it was a burglar on horseback, whereas, if I may so express it, it wad the very contrary, the horsepatrol. - .

#Knook at the window; call hinrig. I insist upon‘g‘oﬁr seeing him,”’ she exclaimed. - I had no alternative, since she said ‘¢ insist’ (as any married man ‘will understand), but to accede to her wishes; 8o I wentout and told the patro} :what had happened. ¢ How long ‘ago was the fellow here, sir?”’ he inquired. ¢ More than an hour. It is guiteout of the question you can overtake him. And beside, I really think he is repentant, and means for the future to lead an honest life.”’ :

“You do, do you?”’ said the patrol, in that sort of compassionate tone of voice in which the visitor of a lunatic asylum addresses an inmate warranted harmless.. **Well, as I am here, I'll just go over the house and make sure there is no more of them. It is notimpossible, you see, he may have lett a pal behind him.” s “There was only one:pair of boots," said I’ confidently; ‘‘of that 1 am certain.’ : :

Nevertheless, as I felt it would be a satisfaction to my wife, I acceded to his request. He tied his horse to the sceraper, and came in with his lantern, and looked about him. . There was nobody in the front hall, of course, for I had just come through it; in the draw-ing-room nobody, in the vestibule no-body--but on the table where they had stood before stood a pair of gigantic navv%’s boots. ““What d’ye think of that?'’ whispered the patrol, pointing to one of them. ‘*“ They're the.samef" I answered in hushed amazement, ‘“they’'re | the very same. I could swear to tlZem among & thousand. What can it mean?”’

**Well, it means that the gentleman who was going to lead a new life,” he answered dryfy, ‘“has thought better of it and has come back again.” : And so he had. ‘We found him lying in the very same place under the dresser, awaiting, I suppose, events. “QOlor, is that you, Mr. Policeman?'’ he said, complainingly. ¢‘Then it’s all up.” : If he had had to deal with me alone, he expected, perhaps, to have-got another half-crown out of me. But the great probability was, 'he had doubtless argued, that all suspicion of bur?lars, for that night at least, would lave died out, and that he would have had undisputed range of the house. It was a bolg game, but one in which all the ehances seemed to be on hisside.

L helped to fasten a strong strap to his wrist, which was already’ attached to that of the horse patrol’s. ¢And now,” saidthe latter, coolly, ‘twe will go and‘put on our boots.” .

- For the second time that night 1 saw that operation accomplished by my burglar; for the secong time saw him walk off, though on this occasion a captive to his' mounted . companion. I did not!'wish, as the judges say when they put on the black cap, to add poignancy to the. feelings of this unhappy man (he was on ticket-of-leave, and presently got five years' penal servitm;)e), but I could not help saying: ‘“1 think you ought to have been content with your supper and halfarown, and not come here again, at all events, in search of plunder.r’ This argument had no sort of weight with him, gratitude °was unknown to that savage breast. Like many more civilized individuals, he- attributed . his mis‘ortunes to his own virtue.

“““ No, sir, it ain't that,” he answered, scornfully. “I’m the wictim of Perseverance.” — Belgravia, . .

Solemn Autumn Th ughts.

There can be nothing sadder than the solemn hash of nature that precedes the death of the year. The golden glory of autumn, with the billowy bronzed and velvet azure of the skies above the royal robes of oak .and maple bespedk: the (closing hours of Nature's .teeming life and the silent farewell to humanity’s gauze underwear. e

» Thus while Nature dons her regal robes of scarlet and gold in honor of the farewell benefit to autamn, the sadeyed poet steals swiftly away to the neighboring clothes-line, and in the hour of Nature's grand blow-out dons the flannels of his friend out of respect for the hectic Hush of the dying year. Leaves have their time to fall, and so has the price of coal. And yet how sadly at variance with decaying nature is the ro"ust coal market.

Another glorious summer with its wealth |of }seasaut memories is stored away among the archives of our history. Another gloomy winter is upon us. These wonderful colors that flame across the sky of Indian summer, like the gory banner:of a royal conqueror, icome but.to warn us that in'a few short weeks the water-pipe will be burst in the kitchen ana the dezorated washbowl will be broken. §

We flit through the dreamy hours of summer like swift-winged bumble-hees amid the honeysuckle and pumpkin blossoms, storing away, perhaps, a little glucose honey and buckwheat pancakes for the future, but all at once, like a newspaper thief in the night, the king of frost and ripe, mellow chils blains is upon us, and we crouch be-. neath the wintry blast and -hump our spinal column up into the cvisp air like a Texas steer. that has thoughtlessly swallowed a raw cactus.

Life is one continued round oi alternate joys and sorrows. To-day we are en the top wave of prosperity and warming ourselves in the glad sunlight of plenty, and to-morrow we are cast down and depressed fnancially, and have to stand of the washerwoman for our clean shirt or stay-at home from the opera. : . Oh, Time! thou bald-healed pelican with the-venerable corn-cutter and the second-hand hour-giass; thou &)layest strange pranks upon the children of men. No one would think to look at thy bilicus countenance and store teeth that in thy bony bosom lurked such e¢centric schemes.

_ The chubby boy knows that time, who waits for no man, will ®ne day, if he struggles heroically on, 'give him knowledge and suspenders, anda solid girl, and experience, and a soft, white mustache, and eventually a low grave in the valley beneath the sighing elms and the weepin r willows, where in the misty tw.light of the year, noiselesslly upon his breast shall fall the dead leaf, while the s'lent tear of the gray autumnal gky will come and sink into the yeliow grass above his head. — Bill Nye's -Boomerang. ; :

The Banjo Becominz tashionable, There is gopd reason for believing that the heretofore despised banjo is fo be elevated to the first rank as a musical instrument. Some one has discovered that it is of very ancient origin, and of course that is very much in its favor, as many persons delight in anything that is associated with antiquity: A Trelichunter in Kgvpt found, or says that 18 found, in the tomb of a royal family, in one ot the oldest pyramids, a banjo of the exact form of those played by lantation darkies. In his opinion the Enciean Pharaohsdelighted in the sweet: sounds produced by the banjo, which constituted the favorvite music of the country ‘which - has been called the cradle of civilization. 1t is easy to'account for the intreduction of the banjo into this country. It was brought by thé negroes from Egypt by the way of Ethiopia. Many people will now admire the banjo who despised it when it was thought to be the invention of some negro barbarian. Indeed, it is stated that many aristocratic people, as well as many acconmplished musicians, have long been pleased with the banjo, and that the latter have played it ‘‘on the sly.”” Lord ‘Dunraven, of England, is -daid to be an accomplished banjo-play-er. Thalberi, the great pianist; Miss Nilsson and Clara Louise Rellogg, the opera siugers, are also enthusiastic lovers of the ancient E y‘)ti-an instrument. A London muuﬁza instrument, maker states that he cannot su?plv the demand for the fashionable rival of the piano.+--Chicago Times. -

¢¢ Unsolidifying -the South.”

We are ﬁlad that Mahone has made his Reﬁub can dllies drain the cup, of their shame, humiliation and disgrace to the very dregs. We are glad that he has made them swallow I%iﬂdlebergor, without being sugar coated, or even greased. We are glad he has done this, too, in the face of and in violation of his agreement with the Republicans, that Iﬁéw’is should be made Senator from Virginia. He feels his ﬂower. And knowing that his time is short, that no matter how the change may come, as come it will, that he will no -longer be able to dictate to them, he is driving the Republicans under whip and spur, and insult.in‘gly demanding {’resh concessions and additional terms whenever the greed of his adherents makes it neces: sary that he shounld furnish them with more ** pz:l).” Again we say, we are glad to find. that the infamous bargain made with Mahone is bearing. its legitimate fruits and appropriate punishment. The readers.of the Times will remember, that we predicted months ago, that this coalition of the Republican party with Virginia repudiationists, would not end with the campaign in Virginia; but, that it would extend to other States, and unless the people rebuked it at once, that it would finally become a National question. Already the leaven is beginning to work, and Mahones in embryo are making their appearance in other States. '

Having succceded 'in Virginia, the Republican leaders,: elated over. their success, are anxiously negotiating with all the elements of discontent and disappointment in Demoeratic States with a_view to the campaign next and the following year. They are doing this openly. The Republican leaders avow it, the Republican press is advocating it—combine; collude, conspire, confed: erate with anybody, anywhere, at any time to beat the Democracy! This is the position voluntarily and deliberate- }{ assumed by the Republican party toay. 1t deliberately abandons principle and leagues itself with dishonor in order to perpetuate itself in power—‘saying virtually to the people, what is party without office, and what are principles without spoils? :

‘Agnin, we give them joy at the capture made in %’lah(mc and Riddleberger. Let them go, we ‘'want none of them, and of their kind. We can speak in the emphatic language of a valued contemporary: : ; ¢lf the Democratic party can retain power in the South only by submitting to the domination of those who urge repudiation, fiat money and other ruinous and dishonest doctrines, we trust-there can be no doubt that the Democracy will prefer defeat. *“The Repablican party of the South is almost wlll)olly composed of negroes, and it can brimg no respectability or character to those who quit the Democratic party because there is too much honor and decency in that party togive them shelter. it ;

* While such alliances, therefore, as that with Mahone and Riddleberger, and the one in contemplation with fones, in Texas, may l'e.suﬁ in temporary successes. the ultimate result will be to the advantage' of the Democratic party, which will be purified and strerigthened by the expurgation of this bad element. What it will lose in the South, will be more than compensated by the gains in the North; and thus lead, eventually, to the utter annihilation of all secti;ona.i’ism. ' To those Democrats who want to follow Mahone we bid God speed.” : : ~ And some will go 0} course. We expeet it. A prominent politician, the other day, put it very foreibly in this wise: ‘‘Mahone and his gang have broken down the fence and are filling themselves at the crib, and: there are some hungry fellows looking wistfully over the fence, whose appetites will overcome -them yet, and they will go, too.”” But the reaction is sure to come. The present effort is only to re-establish the supremacy of ignorance, as in the days of the carpet-bag rule, which the intelligence of the people, in time, fully deinanded should be superceded.—Kansas City Times.

Sources of Republican Strength.

The brilliant and fertile poetic imagination to which the world is indebted for ‘¢ Little Breeches™ and ¢ Jim Bludsoe’’ has been devoting itself recently to [lmlitiml inquiry. Its possessor has made the wonderful discovery that the success of the Republican party is due to the fact that of the thousands of young men who become voters from year to year ‘ the vast*majority vote the Republican ticket.” Before announting this theory to the Young Men's Republican League of Cleveland it would have been well had Colonel John Hay endeayored to learn whether it is in harmony with the trath. Had he made an investigation he would have discovered that the facts are just the opposite of his theory. He would have found that the generous, enthusiastic and educated youth of the country are manifesting less and less sympathy for a party that rests upon monopoly” and special privileges, and that is animated by a narrow and fanatical spirit of sectionalism. Republican leaders and Vo’liticians have repeatedly complained that the schools and colleges of the country are constantly teaching doctrines of political economy which are utterly at war with the protective theories in support of which the party carried the election in 1880. Tothe generous youth of the country there is nothing attractive or lovely-in a party composeﬁ of ‘Stalwart and Half-Breed factions fighting like Schwalbach pigs over the spoil of government, now aﬁyingf itself with Mahone Repudiators in Vlll\'finia, and now with Greenbackers in Mississippi for the sake of temporary victory. While falsely attributing to the youth of the country the growth of the Republican party, which is not in proportion with the increase of the voting population, Colonel Hay ungratefully refuses to recognize the element 10 which Republiean success is really due.. In the great States of New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana, the-eolored voters hold the balance of political power. In every one of these States ‘the. Republicans would have been routed in the Presidential election of 1880 but for the solid and faithful colored contingent. In Indiana a systematic and well-organized colonization of negroes, conducted by Republican. oﬂice-T\olders, was necessary-in order to wrest the State from thé white majority. The negro vote of Ohio considerably exceedeﬁ the majority for Garfield. Let Colonel John Hay carefully examine recent statistics of elections and population, and’if he do not modify his theory in regard to the youth of the country when next he addresses the Young Men's :Republican League of Cleveland we are greatly mistaken. In Pennsylvania the average Republican majority is less than it was in the period immediately preceding negro enfranchisement. The accretion of upwards of 30,000 colored votes has saved the Republican party in this State, making up for the defection of the youth to whose acquisition Colonel Hay has erroneously attributed its success. = Honor should be given where honor is due. But for the negroes the Republicans would be in a minority in the four Ereatest States of the North and would ave no party at all in the South. The shrewd and sagacious Republican leaders well understand where the substantial voting strength of their party lies. They recognize 51(3 fact that the negroes must compensate for the steady loss of intelligent white voters who have become sisgusted by Republican alliance with monopoly, and who can no longer be held by'mo)l'dy_ traditions or attracted by sectional cries. For this reason the Administration of Arthur so eagerly embraced the unholy alliance with Mahone's Readﬁlsters’ in Virginia, while boasting ° that the Republican party is the peculiar champion -of public credit. &e’r the same reasonthe Republicans are anxious to make coalitions with Greenbackers in Mississippl and Toxaseor with the advoca aw_oph:?olitic sy in the Rl e e the bsis 18 tho colorod voto.

A Poor Devil as Well as a Fraud. . Mr. Hayes says he is not rich, and we are obliged to believe. him. But the question arises:’ -What became of his money? What did he do with the $750,000 left him by his uncle? And what did he do with the $150,000 saved out of his four years salary? He is. not an extravagant man by any means. He refused to contribute to the Mrs. Garfield fund, and to the monument subscription. He does not drink, and he was never known to play in games of chance. His housellx)old }mgits have been known to be very parsimoniofis. . If he is poor to-day; how Sid he get rid of the $900,000 wg’ich he inherited and drew from the Treasury? This is the great question. Perhaps it has %one to foreign missionary uses. Perhaps it was invested in stocks, and frittered away. Perhaps it was contributed to the conscience fund, or invested for Mr. Tilden’s benefit. Perhaps the men who stole the vote of Louisiana blackmailed him and compelled him to close their. mouths| with a large bribe.. But in whatever way it was expended, the lesson remains that money not honestly earned or acquired disappears after a while. The $200,000 drawn from the Treasury for four years’ salary as President belonged to another man. Mr. Hayes ‘may have put $150,000 of this with what remained of his inheritance, and as fraud vitiates everything—even a contract—it may have destroyed the whole pile or caused it to melt away, just as Mr. Hayes- himself has melted from the public gaze.—Boston Globe. ————————e——— : Fitz John Porter. - o Partisan malice and personal envy have well-nigh spent their force in the Fitz John Porter case, and the -clamor for justice to him comes now from Republicans, including those who have done him the Fvatest injustice. Justice can never be done him, for the malicious wrong has robbed him of nineteen years of what might have been a bright and useful life. { . That the sentence of the court martial was unjust, there is no longer any doubt. Had Porter been a Republican, he would never have been court-martialed. But Pope, because he was a Republican, must be vindicated, and so the charges against Porter were hatched up. It was aﬂeged that he had disobeyed Pope’s orders, and done it like a traitor to . defeat the Union army, and that he was responsible for the defeat. He certainly did disobey ovders, but he has proved to a demonstration that he was.amply justified in doing so. To have obeyed would have ended in the total destruction of his army. This Porter knew, for unlike Pope he knew what he was about. Porter knew the position and. the disposition of the rebel army—Pope did not. Porter disobeyed because he could not obey. This ought tobe a sufficient excuse. :

Partisan malice all these years has contended that Porter was lying. The evidence was in print, and it was complete. But partisan malice refused to look at it. It has sought every scrap of evidence favorable to Republican whisky thieves, and star-route thieves, and Credit-Mobilier thieves, and has set them in high places. It puts them in the Senate. But Fitz John Porter, demonstrably innocent of c¢very charge against him except the atrocious crime of being a Democrat, has sought justice in vain for nineteen vears. |

Even yet this monstrous partisan malice crops out and demands that justice, simple justice, shall not be done to Fitz John Porter. -He oucht to have been promoted for his con(ruct, rather than disgraced, 'The treatment that brave, wise General has received is the blackest stain on our military history. It can never be wiped out. But feeble with age, partisan malice still lifts its cracked voice and demands that the stain shall be made blacker.

But reason and a spirit of justice are returning at last. Grant has spoken and his words have touched many a heart. This last act of Grant’s is the noblest of his life; and will be as long remembered. It is endorsed by the independent press, and by many Republicans. Says the New York Evening Post: ¢ General Grant has made avery frank and very comelete recantation of his views on Fitz John Porter’s case, owin to his having gone over it lagain wit% the fresh light derived from the €onfederate orders and reports. He thinks that had ¢ the testimony and documents now available been brought before: the court-martial there woul%l have been no verdict against General Porter.” This is very creditable to him, and as there’s no politics in the matter no one will question the sincerity of his conversion. We may add that we believe his experience is' that of every disinterested person who has gone over the ground retently. It was that of Mr. Joseph H. Choate, who appeared without fee, and as a consequence of his change of opinion as counsel for General gorter before the late Advisory Board. It has been our own - experience-also. Porter has for nineteen years been lying under a tremendous penalty inflicted after a conviction which, however justifiable at the time, is now shown to be untenable, and the country owes. it to its own honor ' to relieve him.—Jlowa State Leader, ;

——The tariff is becoming the most serious question in American politics. In this part of the country it should take precedence of - all others, for the simple reason that the West has been taxed long enough for the benefit of Eastern manufacturers. There is not a farmer in the length and breadth of Nebraska but pays one-tenth of hisannual income as a tribute to a policy that does not give him a dollar’s benefit in return. If this tribute was levied directly upon the consumers of the West it would not; be tolerated for an hour. But it comes in the shape of indirect taxation, and it is submitted to because it is not seen in its true colors of open greed and remorseless robbery. ﬁfxder the auspices of the Republican. .. pa#ty protection in this country is becoming formidable and menacing; and to gét rid of it we must getrid og the Republican party.— Omaha Herald. g S

—King Ludwig recently had a lplay performed in Munich for his own pleasure, as is his wont, in which was desired a nightingale to sing in the branch of a tree; but the unhappy manager could neither find nor invent an instrument that would imitate the sweet songster’s voice.

—ln 1820 the third-class receipts on English railroads amounted to less than tweunty-seven per cent. of the whole; now they constitute sixty-three per cent. Then thirty-two per cent. of the earnings was from first-class trafiic, now only sixteen per ‘¢ent. is gained from that source. The decline in second-class and the increase in thirdclass traflic has been partly caused by a practical abolition of second-class accommodation by leading roads. - The railway officials thought that if secondclass conveniences were done away most former second-class travelers would go first-class; as a matter of fact, they moved-to the third-class carriages. In this country the effort to drive people of small means into Pullmans and palaces, by making second-class cars uncomfortable, in various ways has been more successful. ;
