SHOPPING.
A woman enters a dry goods store,
. Step to a clerk who stands near the door,
Asks him to show her the latest-style,
And she pulls over the goods meanwhile.
Says'she', I want a dress for myniece—
Will youshow me that under piece?
Ohl Ididn't see ’twas a polka spot;
That is tOo near the one she’s got.-
That piece with stripes "would just suit me,
It's just aspretty asit can be; . ‘
But she wants'a better covered ground,
With a sort of vine‘running all 'ro‘dnd. .
She don't want too dark, nor yet very light,
Or a striped. piece, nor yet very bright.
I think she’d likewhat you showed me last, .
But do you think'the colors are fast ?
Cut off a bit—ibefore I decide,
I’ll take the piece home and have it tried.
I had a dress like that last fall,
And the colors did not wash at all.
I like those patterns there on the end,
I'll take a fewsamples for. a friend;
Now one of this if you’llbe so.kind,
And a bit of that if you don’t mind;
They’re the nicest, styles: I've. seen this year,
I most alwaysdo mytra’din’g here. '
I've got a piece thatic'ame‘from here— '
I’ve forgot the Prililirl’iiiflflmv dear,
It's a sort of dark plain'stuff:
I want to matchit, I've not enough,
Do youithink youvhaveit in the store ?
The dress is spoiled if..I'ca'n get no more.
Will you put these samples in a bill?
I’ll know where I got them if you will.
I’ll take them home ; it she thinks they’ll do,
You’ll see me back in a day or two.

Roundell only sent a column of smoke up
Over his head into the ‘blue ether, and was si-

said, “ Did you see in the papers the death of
the Grand Duchess of Liebeshiem ?”
“ No, I didn’t observe. ' The old Grand

“Oh, no, the young one—the wife of the

“Young to die—yes. But she was‘not ex-

“Yes,.=yes, of course; but I always think
of her “as young. How beautiful she looked
then 1”
“ She did; she seemed a charming woman.

it? And he found 'out a quiet place where

spot, every stone and leaf of it—hc showed it
to me—and I used to lounge there sometimes
after he had gone. It was a little bit of a
clearing in rather a thick part of the wood,
and there was a littlestream' there. I used to
spout Goethe‘s poem to‘ the Bachlein there."
“ You used to spout, or the fellow you are
telling me of P" .
“Oh, I used to—when he had gone, you
know. Perhaps he usedto spout it too; it
doesn't matter. There were a couple of
statues there, a nymph and a‘ “.wn-—that sort

“ A girl, of se."
“ Wrong, for once. He saw two girls.”
“ All the same. I knew we should get to
some girl or girls before long. "
“ Nice girls, too, and very beautiful; quiet-
ly dressed; citizens’ daughters—that sort of
thing. Got into talk with this fellow. Were
as friendly and sweet and modest as dear little
German girls only can be, or used to be in
those days. The fellow talked a good deal
too. They were interested in England and
his studies, and so on. One of them had
lovely eyes. Went away, of course. Fellow
went there again next morning."
“ They came again.” -
Wrong, sir. They didn’t. He was sorry.
But they came the morning after."
“ Ah, confound it! that all comes to the
same thing. They came, anyhow.”
“They did. Acquaintance grew and grew,
They would sit on the grass and talk for an
hour at a time—they three.”
“ Always three ?”
f‘Always—at first.” '
“ Thought so.”
“ Like a good fellow, let me get on my own
way. Or you tell me the story, if you know
all about it.

Roundell went on: “ It was the queerestsort

fellow grew at'la‘st to be madly'in love with

but with the flash of a tear .now- and then in
her beautiful eyes; She told the fellow that
she was the cousin and companion of the
princess, who was .to marry the young Grand
.Duke of Liebesheim. ’
‘ ‘ Mem'?"
‘f'Meta, she told him, was the future Grand
Duchess. ,She was brought to Liebesheim to
marry the Grand Duke. She was the daugh-
ter of a mediatized prince, and put under the
care of his hard and formal Old. mother. Of
course Dorothea told the fellow that the prin-
cess could not love her future husband. How
could she? Every one knew that he was a
selfish young cub. Dorothea's eyes filled with
tears when 'she spoke of the .miserable
fate of hér friend. ‘ I may tell you,’ she said
to the fellow, ‘that she loves one whom she
will "always remember and can never see
again.’ ” . ’ '
But how abOut herself?”
‘ ‘ Yes, I am afraid that concerned the fellow
a good deal more than the troubles. of the
Grand Duchess that was .to be. ‘ Dorothea,’

separate us; I love you,’ and all that sort of
thing. I wOuld' have talked at her like a mad-
man, and he caught her hand and kissed it,
and'begged of her to be hie wife,although the
poor devil—Godfhelp him! had a very small
allowance to live ‘on, and was gOod for noth-

friend,we'must'not see each Other any more—

me why; but We must phrt.’ Then she told
the fellow that the young princess and her-
self had taken 'a freak .Of going out for morn-

they meant no harm; and that one day they

“ But what had all this to do with herself ?”

he began to accuse her of having playedwith

and she held out her hand. He Caughtitand
kissed it; There was a ring upon her finger,
which came. almost loose in his hand. He al-

“Poor fellow! What did ’ do ?”
“ Do ? He mooned about t e wood for an
hour or two with his hands in his pockets,
thinking ‘of nothing, in an odd, dazed sort of
way. At‘ last he went home to his lodgings,
”and I think he wished'that he were a woman
for once.”
' “ Why that?”
“Don't you see? Because if he were a wo-.
man, he could have a goOd cry, and case his
mind a little. But he could only smoke, and
iwhen the fellowsihe‘kne'w made jOkes, he had
to try and make jokes too. He went with
them to the ‘beer gardens, and the dancing
places, and ‘I don’t suppose that any of them-
ever knew the poor devil was wretched."
“ Did he keep up visiting the old places in
the mornings ?" ,
“He did; but she never came again. She
was gone.”
“ Then did he never see her again ?”
f‘ Oh yes; he saw her Once. It was on the
day of the Grand Duke’s marriage. He post-
ed himself in the crowd, poor fellow, to see
'the procession'which passed through the city
and cad, the Grand Duke, took his newly
made ,wiferound to show her . to his people.
The fellOwthough't, you know, that he would
’be sure to see Dorothea somewhere in the
court Carriages, and he longed to see her again
as much as if the sight could do him any pos-
sible good. There he stood, and he saw her.”
- Roundell brought his clinched fist heavily
down on the table as he spoke. . .
“ In one of the courtearriages, of course ?"
“ In the carriage of the Grand Duke, and
seated by his side. Slic'was now his wife.”
“ Dorothea ?” ' ' ,,
' “ Dorothea herself.” Roundell rose up from
his seat in the‘ window, and strode across the
room, looked or affected to lock at the. clock
over the chimney-piece, returned to the table,
stood there a moment in silence, then poured
himself out a glass of claret and drank it.
.‘f Yes,” he went on, “Dorothea was the Grand
Duchess. Meta was only the cousin and
companion. It was 4a pious fraud she had tried
to practice on the poor fellow who loved her,
loved if 'he hadn’t been a, poor devil without
family or fortune, and she a German prin-
cess.” .
‘“ Did she see him ?i’ .,,
“N o',she ‘waslooking away when he first saw
her, and then he drew outrof the crowd. He

did, and she returned it. nut, he saw by some-
thing in her eye as allegianced toward him
that she kucwthe secret wasfiafe... 'Then the
fellow went home, and heleft Liebeslleim the
next morning.” .
I remembered now .how very suddenly
Roundell himself had left Liebesheim that time
and how he was not at the court, ball for
which I got the tickets, and where, as I have
already said, I saw the Grand. Duchess.
“ Whatfbccamelof thefellow ?'
“Oh, nothingin particular. - V'He lives.‘ He
promised to remember her, and I believe he
hos kept his word.”
“ Did he ever marry '1’"
“ Oh no ;. he was not a. marrying man, nor
particularly fond of women‘s company. I be-
lieve he never cared for any but , that one
woman, and she married a brute of a. Grand
Duke, and now she’s dead. ‘ That’s all the
story.” _ -
“ I am glad to have heard it,” I answered,
“although it's a sad story enough. It is all
the sadder to inc, Roundell, now, because I
find I know the fellow.”
He looked at me with kin

Committee of the Republican National Con-
vention. '
Gentlemen—In reply to your: official com-
munication of June 17th, by which I am in-
formed of my nomination for the ofiice of
President of the United Statesjby the Repub-
lican National Convention- _at Cincinnati, I
accept the nomination with gratitude, hoping
iuuder Providence that I shall be able, if
elected, to execute the duties of the high of-
fice as I trust for the'bencfit of all the 'peo.
ple. I do not deem it necessary to enter up-
on any extended examination of the declara-
tion of principles made by the convention.
The resolutions are in accord with my views
and I heartily concur in the principles they
announce. In several of the resolutions,
however, questions are considered which are
of such importance that I deem it proper to
briefly express my convictions in regard to; '
them.
01er snnvicr. across.
The fifth resolution adopted by the con-
vention is of preemiment interest. More
than forty years ago the system of making
appointments to Office grew up based upon
the maxim “to the victors belong? the 'spoils.”
The old rule, the true rule, that honesty,
capacity and fidelity constitute the only real
qualifications for olfice, and that there is no
other claim, gave place tothe‘idea that party
services were to be chiefly considered, and.
parties in practice have, adapted this system.
It has been specially modified since its ' first.
introduction. It has not, however, been
improved. At first the President; either
directly or through the heads of departments,
made all the appointments, but graduallythe
appointing power in many cases passed into
the control of members of Congress. The
ofilces in these cases have become not merely
rewards for party services but rewards for
services to party leaders. This system de-
stroys the independence of the separate de-
partments of the government. It tends
directly to extravagance and official incapac-
ity. _It is a temptation to ‘dishonesty. It
hinders and impairs that careful supervision
and strict accountability by which alone
faithful and efficient public service can be
secured. It obstructs the prompt removal
and sure punishment of the guilty. In every
way it degrades the civil service and the
character of the government. It is felt, I
am confident, by a large majority of the mem-
bers of Congress, to be. anintolerable -.burden
and an unwarrantablc hindrance to the prOp-
er discharge of their legitimate duties. It
ought to be abolished. The reform should
be thorough, radical and complete. We
should return to the principles and practice
of the founders of the government. ' Supply
by legislation when needed that which was
formerly established by custom. They
neither expected or desired from the public
'ofllcers any partisan service.
that public officers should owe their whole
service to the government and to the people.
They meant that the office should be secure
in his tenure as long as his personal character
remained untarnished and the performance of
his duties satisfactory. If elected I shall
conduct the administration of the govern-
'ment upon the principles, and all constitu-
tional powers vested in the executive will be
employed to established this reform.
ONE TERM FOR A PRESIDENT.
The declaration of principles by the Cin.
einnati Convention makes no announcement
in favor of a single Presidential term. I do
not assume to add to that declaration, but
believing that the restoration of the civil
service to the system established by Wash-
ington and followed by the early Presidents
can be best accomplished by an executive
who is under no temptation to use the patron-
age 'of his office to promote his own rc-election,
' I desire to perform what Irega’rd as a duty
in stating now my inflexible purpose, 1'
elected, not to be a candidate for election to.
secOnd term.
HARD MONEY.
On the currency question I have frequently
expressed my views in public, and I stand by
my record on this subject. I regard all the
laws of the United States relating to the pay-
ment of the public indebtedness, the legal
tender notes, as constituting a pledge, a mor-
al obligation on the government which must
in good faith he kept. It is my conviction
that the feeling of uncertainty inseparable
from an irredeemable paper currency, with
fluctuations of values, is one of the great
obstacles to a revival of confidence and bus-
iness and to a return to prosperity. That
uncertainty can be ended in but one way—
the resumption of specie payments, but the
longer- the instability connected with our
present money system is permitted to con-
tinue, the greater will be the injury inflicted
upon our economical interests and all classes
of society. I elected, I shall approve every
apprbpriate measure to accomplish the desir-
ed end, and .I shall disapprove any steps
backward. .
FREE AND ussncraman SCHOOLS.
The resolution With respect to the public
schools question is one which should» receive
the hearty support of the American people.
Agitation upon this subject is to be appre-
hended until by constitutional amendment
schools are placed beyond all danger of
sectarian control. The Republican party is
pledged to secure such an amendment.
rm: WELFARE or run sonrn.
The resolution of the convention on the
subject of a permanent pacification of the
country, and the complete protection of citi-
zens in the free enjoyment of all their rights,
is timely and of great importance. The con-
dition of the Southern States attracts the
attention and commands the sympathy of the
people of the whole Union in their progres-
sive recovery from the effects of the war.
Their first necessity is an intelligent and'
honest administration of the_ government,
which will protect all classes of citizens in
all their political and private rights. What
the South most needs is peace, and peace
depends upon the supremacy of law. There
can be no enduring peace if the constitutional
rights of any portion of the people are habit-
uallyidisregarded. A division of political
parties resting merely upon distinctions of
race or upon sectional lines is always unfort-
unate, and may be disastrous. The welfare
of the South, alike with that of every other
part of the country, depends upon the at-
tractions it can offer to labor, to immigration,
and to capitol, but labo'rers will not go and
capitOl will not be ventured where the con-
stitution and the laws are set at defiance, and
distraction, apprehension and alarm take the
placetof peace, loving and law-abiding social
life: All parts of the constitution are sacred
and must be sacredly observed—ethe parts
that are new no less than the parts that are
old. The moral and material prosperity of
the Southern States can be most effectually
advanced by a hearty and generous recogni-
tion of the rights of all by all, a recognition
without reserve or exception. With such a
recognition fully accorded it will be practi-
cable to promote by the influence Of all the
legitimate agencies of the government the
efforts of the people of these States to obtain
for themselves the blessing. of honesty and
capable local government. If elected I shall
consider it not only my duty, but it will be
my ardent desire to laborfor the attainment
of this end. Let'me assure my countrymen
of the; Southern States that if I shall be
charged with the duty of organizing an ad-
—Hmrer’c Irma. ' .
ministration, it will be one which will regard
Thcy' meant '
I
‘and cherish the trdest interests of the white
, and of the colored people both and. equally,
‘and which will put forth its best efforts .in
behalf of a civil policy which‘will wipe out
forever the distinction between the North
and South in our common country.
RECAPITULA'I‘ION. -
With a civil service organized upon a sys-
tem which will secure purity, experience, ef-
ficiency and economy, a strict regard for the
public welfare mlely in appointments, and
the speedy, thorough and {inspiring prosecu-
tion and punishment of ' all . public officers
who betray official trusts, with'a sound cur-
rency, with education unscctarian and freeto -
all, with simplicity and frugality in public
and private affairs, and with the fraternal
spirit of harmony prevading the people of
all sections and classes, we may reasonably
hope that the second ceiitury of our exist-
ence as a nation will, by the blessing of God,
be preeminent as an era of good feeling and
tiperiod of, progress, prosperity and happi-
ness. .. > » -

A few days 'ago_ the ,New‘ York Evening
Post, which has alwa been more than
friendly to Governor Eldon aandone of whose ,
editors has sent him . . . gdispatch ofad-
liesion, said that the job options to Hendricks
as a candidate for the
. idency apply with
31ml force to him as {a candidate for _Vice-
resident. It found it‘ hard to believe that
Mr. Tilden would consent to such an alliance,
for to do so “ Would be a contradiction of the
‘whole political theory upon which Governor
Tilden commands the respect and confidence
of honest and independent voters. A hard
.mone candidate would be handicapped With
ahi ationist. trickster. Aman who repre.
sents the new and better ideas of politics
would be associated with a politician of the
.old and vicious school. Such a ticket could
_not carry New York or any other doubtful
state. . .
Gen. Newton states that the Hell Gate
explosion will not take place before Sept. 1.
The explosive materials used will be nitro-
glycerinc and its various ‘compounds, in
charges not exceedingltenpOuudseach. Gen.-
Newton explained. t
ing by its weight» an intense ' report and
shock, but that theenormous amount of heat
generated from the liberated gases wOul spend
ts force in vaporizing the water, thus lessen-
ing the chances of marked agitation on the,
surface“ The effect ,of the blast, to use the
General’s own words, will'sound very much
like “an explosion in a tub' of ‘mush’? The
only .work being done- at the present time is
umping the water out as fast as it drains
nto the tunnels. .

There is a woman in Massachusetts who

who asserts that her annual expenses for
