DISRAELI TRYING THE POWER OF
SILENCE.

A late London letter contains the follow
ing Mr. Disraeh' silence begins to be COM
mented on While his lieutenants are issu
ing addresses and making speeches in every
borough and county, their leader utters not
a word. Ordinarily, be attends one of the
Buckinghamshire agricultural dinners held
in the autumn, and says his say on such
politics as happen then to be uppermost.
This year he has refused all invitations, and
gives it to be understood that he viii make
no speech anywhere at present. Nor has
he issued any address 70 his constituents.
His persistent reserve gives color to the re-
port which daily becomes more current,
that the Tory Premier meditates a flank
movement. Satisfied that the No Popery
cry has failed utterly to rouse the religious
fanatieism of his party, he is probably
ready to abandon it and the Irish church to-
gether. The only question is. can he carry
his party with him, as he carried them on
reform 1t is a slight matter that they
stand committed, one and all, by their elee
ton addresses, to defend the church to the
last gasp. So we're his Cabinets committed
against reform, but hs threw them over
without scruple, and they suffered them
selves to be thrown over without much pro
test. 1t is too soon to say they must un-
dergo the same humiliation as to the Irish
church, but it is clear enough that Mr. Dis
raeli is considering whether they shall or
not. Except this strange reticence when
all other men are speaking out, there is not
much evidence to add to what | have before
sent you The address of Sir John Paking-
! ton, War Secretary, is thought little fish,
but then Sir John is much too stupid a mar
to be in the confidence Of his chief Rath
er more significant is the recent speech O
| Sir Stafford Northcote-si significant again
by its silence. Sir Stafford belongs 10 the
'no surrender" faction of the Cabinet YET
even he makes nothing like pledge Of uu
conditional support to the church. He il

AUDUBON, THE AMERICAN NAT
URALISf.


One Of the happiest of men, and one OF
the most interesting of characters, We have
had in America, was John James Audubon,
the celebrated painter and biographer of
American birds. He was one of the few
men whose pursuits we're in accordance
with his tastes and his talents; and, besides
this, he enjoyed almost every other facility
which falls 10 the lot of mortal
His father was French admiral, who,
about the middle of the last century, emf
grated to Louisiana, where he prospered and
reared family. His distinguished son was
born in 1880 While he was still little
boy, he showed remarkable interest in the
beautiful birds that flew about his fathers
sugar plantation, particularly the mocking
bird, which artains its greatest perfection
in that part of Louisiana. He soon had a
considerable collection of living birds; and
he tells us that his first attempts to draw
and paint we're inspired by his desire to
preserve memento ofthe beautiful plumage
Of some Of his birds that died In delineat.
ing his feathered friends he displayed 81
much talent that, at the age of fourteen
his father took him TO Paris, and placed
him in the studio of the famous painter, Da'
yid, where be neglected every other branch

LOVES QUEEN.
BY WILLIAM WINTER.

He loves not well whose love is bold;
would not have thee come too nigh;
The sun s gold would not seem pure gold
Unless the sun we're in the sky.
To take him thence and chain him near,
Would make his beauty disappear.
He keeps his state; do thou keep thine
And shine upon him from afat;
So shall bask in light divine
That falls from loves own guiding star.
So shall thy eminence be high.
And so my passions shall not die.
But all my life shall reach its hands
Of lofty longing toward thy face,
And be as one who speechless stands
In rapture at some perfect grace.
Ny love, my hope, my all, shall be
To look to heaven and look to thee
Thine eyes shall be the heavenly lights,
Thy voice shall be the summer breeze,
What time II sways, on moonlit nights,
The murmuring tops of leaiy trees.
And will touch thy beautious form
In June's red roses, rich and warm.
But thou, thyself, shall come not down
From that pure region far above;
But keep thy throne and wear thy CROWN
Queeu of my heart and queen of love
\ monarch in thy realm complete,
And | a monarch at thy feet.

REASON ron NOT LIKING BLAIR

REASON FOR NOT LIKING BLAIR.
II don't like Blair, said a graybaired,
farmer-l looking man, the other night, as we
stood before The St. Charles, listening to
the Generals speech.
''Why?" demanded fiery faced little
man, shapri>hly, Amt he a smart man?
''Isuppose SO.
''Ain't he a courageous, brave man?'
she may be; dare say he is.
''Ain't he a gentlemainly, social, good
hearted fellow? G-and T, both Repub-
licans here, say so. Don't you believe it?'
Il don deny it. .
''Didn he fight the rebels hard-didn' t
he defend the Government, tell me that?'
eyes, l believe he did. l won't deny
it.
''You can't Now if he is smart, and
brave, and geutlemanly, and social, and
proved himself loyal, Why 10 thunder don t
you like that sort Of a man." demanded the
fery-faced admirer of Blair.
did you ever do anything in the way Of
pork-raising2" replied the farmer like look
ing man coolly.
mol What's that got to do with it?''
"Why, there is good deal Of human ma
ture in hogs -or, rather, there is a great
deal of hog in human nature, have had a
good deal of experience in pork raising, ami
I've noticed a great deal Of difference among
a litter of pigs. There are hundreds Of
sleek, well fed pigs that possess a sort Of
selfrespect They take their feed quietly,
without any fuss, either holding their nose
in the trough, or, taking few mouthfulls
out, MUNICH away at it contentedly. But
there never was litter of pigs so well be,
haved and orderly but what you or / could
pick one out Of them that had no manners.
That's The one that gets into the trough
Now, the Blair family may be a smart
family, social in their way, atd as full o.
fight as an egg Of meat. ln general way
they may mean well to the Government
but from what I've seen and heard to night
l am satisfied that they are all alike in one
respect. Erey one Of the .fIa,ily Is aariou

PATIENCE.


If any essential is lacking in the American
character it is patience. Patience is not in
difference, or Incidence, or wanto ambition,
or trusting everything to Providence. 1t is
simply giving, in every plot, plan or ezpec-
tation, its proper place to the element OF
time. A man may drive business to the
utmost, and yet be model Of patience. If
he recognizes the fact that certain events
cannot occur until after certain other events
that certain processes require 50 much time
and certain others so much; if, while vast
ing nothing in unnecessary delays, he never
tries to bring about result before its prop
er turn on the programme, which must be
determined by natural and unalterable con
ditions as well as his own viii, he is practi-
eally patient. And the exercise of patience
is the sublimest of all arts tits impatience
which has given usso many shabby railroads,
iealsy oonaia. aila7s b~sinaas ccncsrns,
break-neck roads, and houses unfit to live
iD 1T is impatience which so often reyer-
ses the programme Of household economy,
aud puts the spending before the earning.
Il is impatience which makes bad nechan-
les aud superficial students Il is impa-
tience which has needlessly created the
most serious issue Of the present political
campaigu-the disposition of the public
debt 1t is impatience which induces so
many young men aud boys to enter callings
in which they get immediate pay, aud which
they are compelled to remain in all their
lives, with little or no increase Of remunera-
ton 1t is impatience which makes so ma
ny farms large and half cultivated, instead
Of small and thrifty.
What we all want is more patience re-
cognition of the fact that time is an element
in every problem, which cannot be overlook
ed without yitiatipg the solution. Great
results never spring from momentary efforts.
The brilliant invention, the living book, the
military triumph, are merely the suddenly
announced consequences of long continued
processes The inventor may have been all
his life turning his one idea over and over,
and shaping his bits of metal so that it viii
work harmoniously with the laws Of me-
chanics-T author has spent years learn
ing to write correct paragraph, to say
nothing of the time required for the collec-
ton and arrangement of facts and the trans
formation of plot and circumstances. The
commander has been slowly drilled into the
mastery of the principles whose judicious
application makes his day of victory. The
study of natural sciences suggests constantly
this essential lesson; and in the latter de-
yelopments of geology the mind is lost in
wonder at the stupendous example, beneath
our very feet, of the divine art of patience.

What is the cause Of high taxes ?
The war
Who made the war
The Democratic party
Why did they make the war
Because they were expelled from political
power.
1 Why we're they expelled from power
Because they were owned, body and SOUL
by an aristoeratic, ambitious sectional class
interest, which sought, in defiance OF the
Constitution, the will of the people, and
natural right, to perpetuate its power by
obtaining control Of the territories and the
States to be formed out of them.
I What chiefly encouraged this aristocratic
class interest to make war upon the Union Z
The oft repeated, siereotyped public dec
larations Of Democrats Of all sections, ney er
rebuked or disavowed by that party, that
the Union should be dissolved if the de
niands of the shareholders we're resisted by
the people.
Who we're in power when this aristocratie
interest undertook to dissolve the Union :?
The Democratic party.
What did they do to prevent it 2
Nothing.
What did they do TO assist the traitors z
They gave them the forts, arsenals, can
non, ammunition and public money in the
south, and sent them all they could from
the north.
What did Gen Scott beg Of them to do to
prevent the war
To do as General Jackson did, garrison
all the Southern forts
What reply did they make
That the shareholders would not like it.
How long was the Democratic party in
power after secession commenced?
Three months.
What were tie traitors doing all that
time
Surrounding fort Sumter with batteries
of British guns
What did Democratic Administration
order Major Anderson to do ?
To let them alone,
What did the Republican Administration
do when Sumpter grew short Of provisions.
Sent them more provisions.
What did the Democratic party at Char
lesion do with those British guns
They rained shot and shell upon the old
fag on the walls of Sumpter until Anderson
was compelled to lower the flag aud evacuate
the fort.
What was the consequence
-Four years of civil war; the death of half
million Of men; national debt Of three
thousand million of dollars; the high tax and
the high prices.
If the Democratic Administration did
nothing to prevent the dissolution of the
Union what did the Republican Administra
ton do2
They prevented it.
Who said the war was failure
The Democratic party.
Was it failure
Yes, on their side.
What do they ask the people to do now
that they have failed in the war they
made
Restore them to power.
viii the people do it2
We guess not
