One word respecting the chief actors
in this dark business. How came James

side. ln 1894 he come out on the side
ot the Wings, and has since been as for
ward and active as he was permitted to
be on this side. lie undoubtedly went
to Philadelphia in 1888 to obtain persons
who would be likely to know the loco ioco
partizans Of that city who might attempt
to vote at our election. He went at his
own suggestion, but under a general be-
llei that persons would come or from
that city TO vote al our election. While
there, lie probably first thought of the
idea OF procuring or pretending to pro-
cure persons who would vote in New
York! His object was probably to OBJ.
tain money, under color Of deiraying his
expenses. But he was promptly inform
ed that no illegal voting would he coun-
tenanced by the Wings, and ordered TO
discontinue all his operations. lie re-
turned aud obtained money to fulfil hls
engagements, alleging that trouble would

next seen by Capt. Schultz, bring ing Oh
twenty or thirty men, whom he told Capt. |

ardent Whig) rebuked him sharply and
told him he ought to be ashamed OF him

Of his men, and they no more Of him.
Probubly some Of them watched the
polls, and some did nothing they had
been paid Tor their time and expenses

be claimed at any time subject to discount of five per

A few examples will render the subject perfectly
pain and show that the expense is in some instances
but half the usual mode and at the same time saves ne
eessy of annually renewing The policy wherein the ne
gIect of a day has often proved runous.

Brick Dwelling in the Country, favorably situated,
pays 60 cents per $780, The depose for perpetual IN
sfance would be per SO per $1,000, the inter

THE PILOT.

From an Irish Magiztae
THE OCEAN.
Likeness of Heaven!
Agent of power!
Man is thy victim,
Shipwrecks thy DOVER
Spices and jewels
From valley and sea,
Armies and banners
Are buried in thee.
What are the riches
Of MexicO's mines,
To the wealth that far down
In the deep water shines.
The proud nayies that cover
The conquering West
Thou fing'st them TO death
With one heave of thy breast.
From the high hils that view
That wreck making shore,
When the bride of the mariner
Shrieks at the roar;
When like lambs in the tempest,
Or news in the blast,
Ger thy ridge broken pillows
Thy canvass is cast.
How humbling to one
With heart and soul,
To look on thy greatness
And listen to its roll,
To think how that heart
In cold ashes shall be,
When the voice of eternity
Rises from thee!
Yes! where are the cities
OF Thebes and of Tyre:
Swept from the nations
Like sparks from ths fire;
The glory Of Athens,
The splendour of Rome,
DissoIved-and forever
Like the dew in thy foam.
But thou art Almighty,
Eternal-sublime-
Unweakened-unwasted-
TWIN brother of time!
Fleets, tenpests, nor nations
Thy glory can bow,
As the stars first beheld thee,
Still chainless art thou!
But behold! when the surges
No longer shall roll,
And that ornaments length
Is drawn back like scroll,
Then-then shall the spirit
That signs by thee now,
Be more mighty-more lasting
More chainless than thou.
