A CLEVER SATIBE ON SOME OF THE CURRENT
SEN TIMENTALITY.
The August Atlantic contains the tale of
Edward Mills and George Benton, by Mark
Twain, which is as clever a satire on the
sentimentality over crime as that sort of gush
has ever received. Edward Mills minded
from boyhood; George Benton never did.
Edward prospered. George always had to
be helped. They had the same adopted
parentS, who left all the property to George
because Edward could not take care of him—
self. So it went in all things, even the girl
that Edward was engaged to dropped him,
as it was her duty to save George. Hard
times threw Edward out of regular work,
and he relapsed to common labor awhile; but
George became a flourishing drunkard. We
give the last part of the story, leaving it to
readers of the Atlantic to get the full enjoy—
ment of the whole:
A grand temperance revival was got up,
and after some rousing speeches had been
made, the chairman said, impressively: “We
are now about to call for signers; and I think
there is a spectacle in store for you which
not many in this house will be able to view
with dry eyes.” There was an eloquent
pause, and then George Benton, escorted by
a red-sashed detachment of the Ladies of
the Refuge,.stepped forward upon the plat-
form and signed the pledge. The‘air was rent
with applause, and everybody weptjfor joy.
Everybody wrung the hand of the new con—
vert when the meeting was over; his salary
was enlarged next day; he was thetalk of the
town, and its hero. An account of it was
published.
George Benton fell, regularly, every three
months, but was faithfully rescued and
wrought with, every time, and good situa-
-tions were found for him. Finally, he was
taken around the country lecturing, as a re-
formed drunkard, and he had great houses
and did an immense amount of good.
He was so popular at home, and so trusted
—during his sober intervals—that he was
enabled to use the name of a principal citi—
zen, and get a large sum of money at the
bank. A mighty pressure was brought to
save him from the consequences of forgery,
and it was partially successful—he was
“sent up” for only two years. When, at the
end of a year, the tireless efforts of the be—
nevolent were crowned with success, and he
emerged from the penitentiary with a par—
don in his pocket, the Prisoner’s Friend So-
ciety met him at the door with a. situation
and a comfortable salary, and all the other
encouragement and help. Edward Mills had
once applied to the Prisoner’s Friend Society .
for a situation, when in dire need, but the
question, “Have you been a prisoner ?" made
brief work of his case. ‘
While all these things were going on Ed-
ward Mills has been quietly making head
against adversity. He was still poor, but
was in' receipt of a steady and sufficient salary
as the respected and trusted cashier of a
bank. George Benton never came near him.
and was never heard to inquire about him.
George got to indulging in long absences from
the town; there were ill reports about him,
but-nothing definite.
One winter’s night some masked burglars
forced their way into the bank, and found
Edward Mills there alone. They command-
ed him to reveal the “combination,” so that
they could get into the safe. He refused.
They threatened his life. He said his em-
ployers trusted him and he could not be
traitor to that trust. He could die, if he
must, but while he lived he would be faith-
ful; he would not yield up the “combina-
tion.” And they killed him.
The detectives hunted down the criminals;
the chief one proved to be George Benton.
A wide sympathy was felt for the widow
and orphans of the dead man, and all the
newspapers in the land begged that all the
banks in the land would testifiyv their ap-
preciation of the fidelity and heroism of the
murdered cashier by coming forward with a
generous contribution of money in aid 0;
his family, now bereft of support. The re—
sult was a mass of solid cash, amounting to
upwards of $500—an average of nearly three
eights of a cent for each bank in the. Union.
The cashier’s own bunk testified its era‘s: é
gratitude by endeavoring to show ('ar’.‘ hrs 1‘
miliatingly failed in it) that the peerl we see-- T
vant’s accounts were not square, and that he
himself had knocked his brains out with a
bludgeon to escape detection and punish-
ment.
George Benton was arraigned for trial.
Then everybody’seemed to forget the widow
and orphans in their solicitude for poor
George. Everything that money and influ-
ence could do was done to save him, but all
failed; he was sentenced to death. Straight-
way the governor was petitioned with pe-
titions for commutation or pardon ; they
were brought by tearful young girls ; by sor-
rowful old maids; by shoals of impressive
orphans. But no, the governor—for once—-
would not yield.
Now, George Benton experienced religion.
The glad news flew all around. From that
time forth his cell was always full of girls
and women and fresh flowers ; all the day
long there was prayer and hymn singing and
thanksgiving and homilies and tears, with
never an interruption except an occasional
five minute intermission for some refresh—
ments.
This sort of thing continued up to the very
. gallows, and George Benton went proudly
home, in the black cap, before a wailing au-
dience of the sweetest and best that the re:
gion could produce. His grave~had fresh
flowers on it every day for a while, and the
headstone bore these words, under a hand
pointing aloft: “He has fought the good
fight.”
"The brave cashier's headstone had this
inscription: “Be pure, honest, industrious,
considerate, and you will never—”
Nobody knows who gave the order to leave
it that way, but it was given.
The cashier’s family are in stringent cir—
cumstances, now, it is said; but no matter
a lot of appreciative people,who were unwill-
ing that an act so brave and true as his should
go unrcwarded, have collected $12,000-aud
built a memorial church with it.
It is either Solid North or Solid South in
power. Which will your trust.
The check is to stop, except in case of a
tgaveler’s baggage, which is checked to make
1 go.
Submission is the consideration demanded
by the "Solid South” for conciliation. Who
so craven as to comply with the demand?
The se'lectmen of Norwich use 3,000 pos—
tal cards annually in forbidding liquor dealers
to sell to persons'who make to free use of

Let every patriot ask himself the question :
“Shall those who banded together to de—
stroy the Government be permitted to con—
trol it.
Are you lost, my little fellow? asked a gen-
: tlemau of a 4 year old one day in Rochester.
“No.” he sobbed in reply ; “b—but m—my

AT CINCINNATI.
HIS APPEAL TO BUSINESS MEN.
A SPEECH
(An Abstract of his speech.)
Mr. Sherman delivered his first speech of'
the campaign at Cincinnati on Monday even-
ing last. He said when he last appeared be—
fore a Cincinnati audience there were doubts
expressed as to the ability of the government
to carry out the refunding scheme, but now
he was happy in that it was a fixed fact and
resumption accomplished.
Mr. Sherman began by reviewing the work
of the Republican party and the history of
refunding and resumption. He referred par-
ticularly to the re-establishment of the pub
lic credit, and the desperate attempts -of the
Democratic party in Congress to undo the
whole financial policy of the Government.
He spoke of the faithful collection of the
revenue as one of the incidents of Republi-
can rule; the internal revenue having been
collected without the loss of a dollar, and
there being only $15,000 of arrears on the
whole $864,876,359 of income of the Govern-
ment the last three years. The public
moneys have also been honestly disbursed.
On this point Mr. Sherman said: ‘
During the administration of James Bu-
chanan, the loss by defalcations of public
officers in the collection and disbursement of
the public moneys was $3.81 on every $1,-
000; during Pierce’s administration it was
$3.56; during Polk‘s administration it was
$4.08 ;_ during Jackson’s administration it
was $7.52; during Van Buren’s administra-
tion it was $11.71. Mark the contrast With
Republican administrations : In Lincoln’s
time, embracing therecklessuess caused by
war, it was 76 cents. For six years of Grant’s
administration it was 34 cents. Ir: Hayes’s
administration thus far—assuming that all
amounts in dispute are lost—the loss on $1,-
would be so small that the smallest coin of
the country would make it good three times.
It has been but one—third of a cent on $1,000
of the amount involved.,
Mr. Sherman then continued as follows:
Again, this Administration has effected a
striking reduction of the expenses of those
branches of the public service over which
the Executive has complete control. The
appropriation for the collection of the cus—
toms rcvenue is a permanent one, entirely
dependent for the amount of its expenditure
upon the Treasury Department. While the
revenues of the Government have enormous-
ly increased, the expenditures have been
largely diminished. The expense of collect—
ing over $188,000,000 customs duties during
the last fiscal year was only 3 1-10 per cent.,
while the expense of collecting $53,000,000
in 1860, during President Buchanan’s time,
was 6 2-10 per cent. on the amount collected
——just double. On the lst of July last there
was returned to the . Treasury $2,000,000 of
money which had been saved out of the
appropriation for the collection of the cus-
toms revenue; and in the expenses for
refunding the loan, for which an appropria—
tion of one half of one per cent. is made,
the Treasury Department returned to the
Treasury, on the let of July last, $1,000,000
saved. The Secretary of the Navy has
returned to the Treasury very large sums,
saved by a careful and honest administration
of that Department. There was carried to
the surplus fund, on the 30th of June, 1880,
$8,434,416, money appropriated for the
different Departments for that year and
remaining unexpended. Does any one be-
lieve that a Democratic administration could
have attained these results ?
RESULT UPON BUSINESS.
And what has been the result of Republi-
can administration under President Hayes
upon the general interests of the country?
We have witnessed,and are nowenjoying, the
greatest revival of business of modern times.
We have leaped forward from a period of
extreme distress to one of great prosperity.
Our exports during the last fiscal year
reached the enormous sum of $835,000.000,
being an increase since 1875 of over $320,-
000,000. Our imports during the last fiscal
year, were $668,000,000, being an increase
since 1875 of $135,000,000, and making an
aggregate foreign commerce of the last year of
over $1,500,000,000. Every nation contrib-
utes to our comfort. From every land and
from every sea, and from every part of our
country, we gather the productions of their
labor to supply our daily wants. Our manu-
factures in all branches have increased so
that not only do we supply the domestic
markets with nearly all the articles essential
to human life, but we export in great quan-
tities the productions of the workshop and
the. farm.
is": now feed Europe not only with grain,
but with meat, butter, lard, canned fruits,
sad sat infinite variety of other productions.
We are gradually gaining trade in other
countries, North and South, and may hope
in a short time to supply them with nearly
all the articles of foreign production they
desire. In the great branches of industry—
agriculture, manufactures and mining—we
are now taking our rank as the leading na-
tion. With plenty of money as good as gold,
with plenty of work for all who "are willing
to work, with cheap capital, we have now
luperadded the most bounteous crops that
ever blessed any portion of the world. Think
of wheat crops of 450,000,000 bushels a year,
and corn crops of about 1,800,000,000 bushels
a year, and everything else in proportion.
For these, high prices have been realized.
The addition to the wealth of the country
for the last three or four years can scarcely
be estimated. We know that our Govern-
ment debt, formerly largely held abroad, is
now almost exclusively held at home; .that
the mortgages upon our lands and farms have
been reduced to one-third their amount in
1875.; that the balance of trade is so largely
in our favor that foreign countries, no longer-
able to send back our securities, are compell-
ed to ship gold. The building of railroads
keeps pace with our general prosperity.
They are crossing the plains and exploring
every valley, and year by year we hear of
new settlements of fertile territory hitherto
unavailable for tillage, whose surplus pro—
ducts increase our resources. The number
and amount of business failures have been
reduced one-half. In a word, all the cir—
cumstances and elements that indicate
increased wealth and prosperity to our whole
country seem to combine to make its imme-
diate future exceedingly bright. The rough
road has been traveled, and the smooth one
is now before us. _
Our national prosperity has excited the
attention of all European nations, and has
set in motion again the stream of immigrants
whose labor has added so greatly to our
growth and productions. The number who
arrived during the last fiscal year was 455,
495, against 177,826 in 1879. During the
month of June last 72,567 immigrants
reached our shores, and since March 1 to the
latest date of which we have reports the
number is about 828,000,0r more thanenough
to form a State.
We can fairly claim that the renewal of
business is the natural result of the policy of
the Republican party. Every public measure
that has contributed to it was a Republican
measure. An honest and faithful adminis—
fiat money; and the protection policy
embodied in our tariff laws, are the human
that have contributed to our prosperity. It
that they were not fit to eat.
is true that Providence gave us bounteous
tration of the Government; a firm adherence
to the resumption and refunding act; the-
maintenance of the public faith as against.
agencies, the work of the Republican party, -
crops, but these came after resumption was
secure, and after we had laid the foundation
of honest money and diversified industry,
which enabled us to improve the blessings of
Providence. Certain it is that we owe no
part of our prosperity to the Democratic
party.
, nnuocna'rrc rnansoEs.
, The Democratic party, for more than five
years, has had control of one branch of
Congress, and for nearly two years of both
branches. What has it done; or proposed to
do, to benefit the public, or to evince any
disposition to bring about reforms? It set
out with a great pretence of reducing the
expenditures of the GOvernment. It clipped
here and there the salaries of clerks or
reduced their number, and, in some cases,
seriously obstructed the public business. It
withheld necessary appropriations for a time
to show a reduction of expenses, but was
compelled to make them good by deficiency
bills.
In 1875, the last year in which the Repub-
licans had a majority in both Houses, the
appropriations were $147.714,940. At the
next session the Democrats controlled the
House, and, by refusing to appropriate for
some of the most necessary expenses of the
Government, reduced the appropriations to
$124,122,010, and the following year, in
orderto coerce the President, by a failure to
pass the Army bill and to provide for other
necessary expenses, they reduced the appro-
priations to $88,356,983; but at the following
session, to make good these deficiencres and
to repair the faults committed, they appro-
priated $142,016,809, being $25, 000,000 more
than was appropriated in 1876; and in 1880
they appropriated $162,404,647; and for
1881 they have appropriated $154,118,212,
or $7,000,000 more than the appropriations
made the last years the Republicans controll-
ed the House.
Thus it appears that the boasted economy
of a Democratic House, in the time of
profound peace, in spite of the large reduc-
tions made by a Republican Administration,
has resulted in an increase of appropriations
from year to year.
During all this time the Democrats have
proposed no reduction of taxes and no
measure of relief to the industrial interests
of the country.
Mr. Sherman went on to speak of Mr
Tilden‘s cry of fraud in regard to the election
of 1876. He replied to it by an emphatic
denial and by a recital of the frauds
attempted by Mr. Tilden himself, as revealed
by the cipher dispatches, which were trans-
lated and published by the TRIBUNE after
that election. He then asked what would
happen were there a “change" in the Gov-
ernment. He said: .
And now,fellow citizens, suppose a change
is made; suppose the restraint of a Republi-
can President is withdrawn, what will the
Democratic party do under the doctrine for
which Judge Thurman and General Hampton
plead. 0n the day of the inauguration a
horde of greedy oflicc seekers, hungry in
search of office, will come down upon the
heads of departments with their claims for
reward for party services, and inexperienced
men will be thrust in to discharge the most
difiieult functions ‘of ofilcial life. Trained
and experienced officers, whose capacity and
fidelity are recognized everywhere, will be
turned out, and the great operations of the
Government be placed at once in inexperien-
ced hands.
A still more dangerous horde of claim
agents, now haunting Washington, already
keen for plunder, and versed in all the tricks
of the trade, will seek to open the doors of
the Treasury to the brood of Southern
claims, which, despite our overflowing reve.
nues, will bankrupt the Treasury in a year.
Thus far during this administration the gate
has been put down and barred against these
claims. The statute of limitations and the
decisions of the Department have cut them
off; but, under a Democratic administration
of the Treasury Department, how easy it
would be to break down this barrier. I know
from my personal knowledge a number of
claim agents, influential men, who will vote
for Hancock on the ground that his election
will enable them to recover claims now
barred. All that is needed to cause the
refunding of the cotton tax, amounting to
$68,000,000, is an appropriation. Most of
the members of the South, through their
constituents, are interested in these claims.
A slight extension of the period of limits
tion, as to claims for captured abandoned
cotton, will ope u up tens of millions of this
class of claims. .An enlargement by half a
dozen words of the law for the payment of
quartermaster’s stores will bring upon the
Treasury demands for more than one hundred
million dollars for food consumed by our
army in the War of the Rebellion, taken
from dialoyal people, and for damage done to
them as a. natural result or consequence of
the war. Experience has shown that to
swell these claims ten-fold or even a hundred
fold, testimony can be manufactured with
the greatest facility and apparantly of the
clearest character. Should this be acted
upon by an officer friendly to the object, no
man can estimate the demands that in this
way, under cover of right, may be foisted
upon the people of the United States. And
why should not this be done? If the princi-
ples of the Democratic party are to be again
adopted by the votes of the people, and the
very men who fought for them are to be
placed in power, why should they not be
indemnified for their losses? Why should
they not be paid for their slaves? Why
should not the rebels who fought for their
principles be placed on the pension roll?
Even a change in decisions by the Secretaries
of War and the Treasury would bring upon
the Government tens of millions of dollars
of Southern claims.
But again, if. the principles of the Demo-
cratic party twenty years ago, and the men
who fought for them, are restored to power,
you will find the same slavish acquiescence
of the Democratic fragments of the North
to the Democrats of the South as before the
war. The election laws, of which I have
spoken, will be the first to be repealed, and»
thus will be legalized all the atrocious crimes
and frauds of the South, and even the great
fraud of New York will be condoned forever. .
Amnesty and forgiveness will be proclaimed
for the meanest crimes that have ever been
committed against free government. What
protection will there be for the freedmen of
the South? What guard will there be against
ballot-box staffers and like criminals in the
North?
What further is likely to happen? The
Democratic party has opposed from the
beginning, as unconstitutional, our whole
system of National banks, and favored a
system of State banks as a matter of consti-
tutional right. By the passage of a law of
two lines they can repeal the tax of 10 per
cent. now levied upon the notes of State
banks, and thus, without a formal repeal of
the National bank system, they can revive
the whole State bank system, and flood us
with wild-cat and red-dog money. That
this willbe done I have no earthly doubt
whatever. All war legislation, or that
which has grown out of the preservation of
the Union and the maintenance of the Gov—
ernment, will be gradually swept away, the
Army and Navy will be opened to rebels,aud
the men whom we fought against will again
wield. the military and naval arm of the
Government. Rebels, still proud of their
achievements in the rebellion, bitter in their
hearts and full of rage against the defenders
of the Union, will ride roughened in their
new authority over men who have sacrificed
their all in defence of the country. The
public credit cannot long escape from the
strange and unnatural restoration, and the
business interests of the country,so intimate-
ly identified with political events, will feel
the staggering blow. . . .
A conrmnnur 'ro anrurm.
In reply to a question by one of the audi—
ence as to the cause of the removal of Gen.
Arthur as Collector of Customs at New York,
Mr. Sherman said:
”I have never said one word impuguing
General Arthur’s honor or integrity as a man
and a gentleman, but he was not in harmony
with the views of the Administration in the
management of the Custom House. While
I would not, perhaps, have recommended
his nomination, yet I would vote for him for
Vice President a million times before I would
vote for W. H. English, with whom I served
in Congress.”
Fish Culture.
qu'r 'rnE counno'rrcnr FISH coumssrou-
nus nave BEEN DOING.
The ",C’ourant publishes the following
facts from an interesting letter just written
by Dr. W. M. Hudson of the state board of
fish commissioners, in regard to what the
commission have been doing recently.
“During the spring 59,000 young Penobscot
salmon hatched at the hatching house in
Poquonock, were placed in‘the tributaries of
the Farmington river. Of laud-locked sal—
mon eggs, from grand Lake stream. eastern
Maine, 91,100 were hatched and distributed.
The demand for these young salmon to stock
ponds and streams . was very great,|as it had
become known that many of large size had
been taken in some of the lakes where they
were introduced by the commission four
years since. Salmon- weighing from two
and a half to four pounds each have been
taken from Hog pond in Lyme, in Snipsic
pond in Rockville, in Long pond in Win-
chester, and in Twin lakes in Salisbury,
and in many others the young fish are
known tobe growing and thriving finely.
The young salmon were this year sent to all
parts of the state and put into such lakes,
ponds and’streams as seemed adapted to
their wants. The 110,000 brook trout
hatched were widely distributed and the
supply was by no means equal to the de—
mand. Arrangements have been made to
secure 400,000 young fry next spring. Dr
Hudson says that Connecticut has some of
the finest trout brooks in the world and with
proper care and attention on the part of far—_
mers and a disposition on the part of anglers
to save only those of six inches in length or
over, our depleted streams may soon be re-
stocked, so that trout shall be as plenty and
large as thirty years since.
A test has been made this spring of the
practicability of hatching shad in Connecti-
cut waters. Heretofore all the hatching has
been done on the natural grounds at Holyoke
dam, but the committee on fisheries of the
last legislature expressed a desire that all
work for the year be confined to this state.
The commission employed Mr. James Ban-
kin, (formerly fish commissioner),and Mr. R.
B. Chalker, to test the matter if a sufficient
number of spawning shad could be pro-
cured. The attempts were made at Weth—
ersfield. Brockway’s Beach on the Connecti-
cut, and in the waters of Long Island Sound
near the mouth of the river. The experi-
ments were made under adverse circum-
stances—a long protracted drouth, low river
and a high temperature of the water. Ile—
garding these experiments Dr. Hudson fur-
ther writes :
With the exception of a few thousand
young shad hatched at Wethersfield the op-
pration was a failure. The shad taken
were found to be immature, and any at-
tempt to preserved them until ripe in fresh
water resulted in their speedy death. ' It
was found, however, that shad taken in salt
water in the ponds could be preserved
alive and healthy in salt water pens for three
or four weeks and that the females eventu-
ally ripen thoroughly. The sharks made
sad havoc with his pen, and it was found
that the male shad invariably escaped
through the hole made by them, so that
having three or four ripe females no male
could be obtained to test the experiment
whether the eggs taken and impregnated
under the circumstances would be hatched
in salt water. The fishermen are very san-
guine that this can be done, but we cannot
agree with them, as too many actual obser—
vations prove that the eggs need fresh water
for their development and successful propa-
gation of young fish. The fishermen claim
that these pens can easily be protected
against sharks by an outside netting a few
feet from the pen. it may be then a practi-
cal question whether the eggs of a shad
ripened in salt water in consequence of a
forcible detention there can be extended into
fresh water, brought for the purpose, im—
pregnated, and then taken up the river to
hatch in the fresh water, and then develop
healthy young fish.
The republican state committee of Arkan-
sas have issued an address in which they say
they have decided that it willbe inexpedient
to place a state ticket in the field this year.
In that way they say they can accomplish
more in securing a share of miner local of-
fices. They say the party is not in condition
for an effective state organization, on ac-
count of the frauds and outrages committed
by the democrats in recent elections. They
cite this example of the democratic tactics in
Phillips county: “In this county, with a
voting strength, as shown by the returns of
the presidential election of 1876, of 2,867
republicans to 982 democrats, the latter or-
ganized nearly their entire party into mount-
ed rifie clubs, and after procuring two brass
field-pieces from Memphis, proceeded to
canvass the county with a force of 600
cavalry and two pieces of artillery. Threats
had already been made that if the republi-
cans attempted to organize for the campaign
there would be blood shed, and when upon
two occasions the republican majority at-
tempted to hold a county convention, on ar—
riving at the place of meeting, these 600
democratic rifiemen, whom it would be a
libel upon the republic to call citizens, were
found camped upon the ground with their
two brass cannon trained upon the spot
where the meeting was to be held, with
horses picketed and guards mounted as in
time of war, and the republican leaders were
notified that if an attempt was made to or-
ganize thir party the fight would open. Nor
were these threats the idle boasts of an irre-
sponsible mob. The ‘best citizens,’ so called
were at the head of this unlawful organiza
tion." Yet we have Hancock’s word for it
that the bayonet is not a fit instrument for
collecting the votes of freemen.
General Weaver, the greenback candidate,
continues to freely express himself in regard
to the democratic fraud in Alabama. In a
recent interview he said: ‘_‘I have no hesi-
tation in saying that there is no prospect
whatever of a fair count and an honest elec-
tion in Alabama without the intervention of
federal supervisors at the polls. The demo—
crats down there make no secret of the fact
that they counted out the votes in opposition
to their candidates. Both before and after
the election they made an open boast of
doing this, and then reported a majority
which cannot be explained in any other
way.”
The Hon. Smith Ely, president of the
Vermont Copper Mining Company, and who
has heretofore been a democrat in theory and
practice, has placed $500 in the hands of the
Republican. State Committee for campaign
i purposes.

to one of the benevolent looking commis—
sioners.
"I washee heapee plenty shirtee if I winee
plize,” replied the bland Mongolian.
“Have you got a ticket, John ?" inquired
the man in the crowd.
“Well. me tlinkce 'me habce,” replied the
Chinaman, drawing one from his pocket.
“Tlickee win?" he inquired.
The man in the crowd looked at the num-
ber and scanning his list found that it had
come in for a $500 prize.
“Well, John,” replied the man in the
crowd, very innocently, “I think you’ve
lost.” I ' -
“Chinee man losee alle time,”said the sub-
ject of the Flowery Empire,“gotee no luckcc.
Gless tlow tickee away. ”
“You needn’t do-that, J ohn,”said the man
with a patronizing aha; "I’ll give you a dime
for it.” ' ‘ '
“Dlime toolillec. Gimme a dollar,” said
the Celestial. ,. _ , . .
“A dollar’s too much for a ticket that can’t
.win. We'll split the? difference and call it
half a idollar, ch 2" said John’s kind infor-
mant. . . .
“Chinee man glottec no lucke ; Melican
man, takee allee mouse. Takee ,the tlickee
and filimme fio’ bittee,” and John passed
over his ticket in exchange for the money.
When the Mongolian's grinning features
had disappeared the man chuckled and re-
marked that he had “got her this time."
“Let’s see the ticket i’" asked one of his
friends.
The man who had made the lucky invest—I
ment handed the ticket over, when his friend
exclaimed: ’
“Why, George, it was drawn last J une."
“Is that so i" said the man, dumbfounded,
the revelation that he had been duped dawn-
ing upon him. “Where is that lying rascal
of a heathen Chiuee who put up this job on
me ?" ’ .
But the Chinaman could nowhere be found,
and the man had to be satisfied with the ex-
perience that he had purchased with half a
dollar.
Sensible Irishmen.
A Garfield & Arthur club, numbering over
half a hundred members, has been organized
at Stony Hollow, Ulster County. Among the
members are Patrick and James Monoghan,
Patrick Hyland, Thomas Kelley, Thoms
Cowley, Patrick Haggerity, James Hugger—
ty, James McCullen, Tobias Burke, and
William Burke. There are also among the
members many old Irish voters who never
voted the republican ticket in their lives,
but the majority are young Irish-Americans
who openly declare their preference for re-
publican certainty instead of democratic
uncertainty. Most of the members are stone
cutters and quarrymeu who have learned
the value of hard money since the resump—
tion of specie payments, and now scoff at
the empty promises of the democrats? read-
justment and the flimsy rag-baby of the
greenbackers. The organization of the afore.
said club was a surprise to many of the re-
publican leaders, but they congratulate them-
selves that the reign of terror to republican
voters in the town of Kingston has met its
Waterloo. Among the members of the
Stony Hollow Garfieldw' Arthur club are 6'
number of men who have been prominent in
the democratic disputes in Stony and Mutton
Hollow for the past four years. The re-
publicans are jubilant over this acquisition
to their party, and have only words bf wel-
come and encouragement for their Irish re-
publican brethren. The club raised a fine
hickory pole at William Burke’s, where they
hold their meetings, where floats the'old flag,
in company with a Garfield 85 Arthur banner
and” the green flag and golden harp of Ire-
land. -
The republican party is running upon its
record in this campaign, while the only use
the democratic party is making of its record
is in running away from it. Secretary Sher-
man has freshened the familiar comparison
of the precentage cf defalcations under re-g
publican and democratic administrations by
bringing it up to date. Under Van Buren
the government lost $11.71 by defalcations
on (very $1,000 collected, and the best the
democratic party ever succeeded in doing
was in getting the percentage down to $3.54,
under Pierce. The republican party has
practically extinguished defalcation, Under
Grant the loss was only 34 cents on every
$1,000, and under Hayes on the same amount
the loss has been exactly one-third of one
cent. It is a fair inference that the republir
can party, in the western phase, knows now-
to keep a hotel, and that the country in
choosing public servants will not prefer the-
incompetent to the competent.
That devoted Southerner, Robert Toombs,
is also of opinion that the principles for
which Lee and Jackson fought are on trial
again to—day, for he has written to a friend
in Washington, saying: “I am as positive
that Hancock will be elected as I am that
there is a God in the heavens. You say he
is a Yankee ; well, I know that, and I know,
too, that his sword has pierced the breast of
many a gallant man in gray. But what are
we to do? We cannot put in one of our
own men this time, and have to take a :
‘Yank.’ That being the case, let us take one
who is less ‘blue-bellied’ than the most of
them. You may depend upon it, sir, that,
‘Yauk' or no ‘Yank,’ if elected, the old' boys
of the South will see that Hancock does the
fair thing by them.Inlother§words he will run
the machine to suit them or they will run the
thing themselves. They are not going to be
played with any longer. If you hear any
man say that Hancock cannot carry all of
the South you may put him down as a d——
fool.” Perhaps this is a “forgery.” If so,
The Tribune ventures to hope. it won‘t be
charged upon this office, for there is no one
employed here who is sufficiently to master
of Toombs’s peculiar style to write a docu-
ment like that. The Washington corres-
pondent of The Philadelphia Press vouches
for the genuineness of this letfer.—Tribune.
A. T. Denison, Esq , of Mechanics’ Falls,
Maine, of the well-known paper manufactur—
ing firm of A. C. Denison & 00., has written
aletter to Governor Dingley, in which he
renounces greenbackism and declares a pur-
pose to support the republican ticket. He
does this because a vote for Plaisted for
governor is a vote for Hancock; because he
believes in the protection of home industry
in order to protect our own labor; because
he is opposed to a victol'y of the fraudulent
voting in the south, and because he cannot
take upon himself the responsibility of giv—
ing encouragement to those who participa-
ted in the state steal. Last year Mr. Den-
ison took an active part in the greenback can-
vass. . , '

Georgie is five years old. His mother had

“NOW, mamma, I‘m a- kid.” “Yes,dear,”
said she. f‘You- know what kind of a kid I
am, mamma " “No, darling.” “Well, nu"-

kid of his age.

And has to have some nails;

My horse’s nameia Betsey ;
She jumped and broke her head,
I put her in the stable '
And fed her milk and bread.
The stable's in the parlor;
We didn’t make no muss.
I wis’ you’d let it stay there,
Gran’ma al’us does.

lllYRRH-BEARERS.
'nx MARGARET J. PRESTON.
Three women crept at break of day,
Agrope along the shadowy way
Where Joseph’s tomb and garden lay :
Each in her throbbing bosom bore
A burden of such fragrant store
As never had lain there before:
Spices, the purest, best, _
That e’er the musky East possessed,
From Ind to Araby the Blest.
Had they, with sorrow-rivcn hearts,
Searched all J erusalem's costliest marts
In quest of nards, whose pungent arts
Should the dead scpulchre imbue
With vital odors through and through :
’Twas all their love had leave to do:
Christ did not need their gifts; and yet
Did either Mary once regret
Her offering? Did Solony fret
Over those unused aloes? Nay 1
They did not count as waste that day
What they had brought their Lord. The
way
Home seemed the path to heaven. They
hear '
Thenceforth about the robes they wear
The clinging perfume everywhere.
So ministering, as erst did these,
Go women forth by twos and threes
(Unmindful of their morning ease)
Through tragic darkness, murk and dim,
Where’re they see the faintest rim
Of promise—all for sake of Him -
Who rose from Joseph’s tomb. They hold
.. “ch joy as these of old
It just 5... ‘he Marys told.
To tell the tale .. -. abroad,
Myrrh-bearers still—at home,
Whatzpaths have holy women trod,
Burdened with votive gifts for God 1—
Rare gifts, whose chiefest worth was priced
By this one thought, that all sufliced;
Their spices have been bruised for Christ.

THE DRUllI.
The Hoosier poet, James W: Rileyjhas
touched a heroic cord in the following spir-
ited address to “The Drum” :—
O, the drum!
There is some
Intonation in thy grum
Mouotony of utterance that strikes the spirit
. dumb
As we hear
Through the clear
And unclouded atmosphere,
The rumbling palpitations roll in upon the
ear!
There’s a part
Of the art
0f thy music throbbing heart,
That thrills a something in us that awakens
with a start
And in rhyme
With the chime .
And exactitude of time
Goes marching on to 1'11??? .n A. --~-“dy
sublime.
And the guest
Of the breast
That thy r mug sue u." nut
Isla patriotic spirit as a continental dressed;
And he looms
From the glooms
Of a century of tombs,
And the blood he spilled at Lexington in
living beauty blooms.
And his eyes
“fear the guise
Of a nature pyre and wise:
And the love of them is lifted to a something
in the bright skies,
That is bright
Red and white,
With a blur of starry light,
As it laughs in silken ripples to the breezes
day and night. V
There are deep
Ilushes creep
O’er the pulses as they leap,
And tie murmur fainter growing, on tire
silence falls asleep, , .
While prayer
Rising there
Wills the sea and earth and air
As a heritage to Freedom’s sons and (laugh-
ters everywhere
Then with sound
As profound . ,
As the thunderings resound,
Come thy wild reverberations in azthroe that
shakes the ground,
And a cry
Flung on high
Like the flag it flutters by,
Wings rapturously upward till it nestles in
the sky.
0, the drum!
There is some
Intonation in thy grum
lilonotouy of utterance that strikes the spir
