Do tn. angels Miss Good .NTghfs
BY EVE BARKER,

= Mamma lisped little child one day,
As the sun was melting in gold away,
- Do the Angels kiss little girls good mighty
wondered last night a. ] lay on my bed,
And YOU kiss'd me so sweetly, carressing my head
If the angels would love me as you do here,
And call me their darling and sweet little dear.
:. What makes my child ask her mamma so?'
The parent whispered quick and low;
= Does she want TO 90 where the angels stay,
From papa and mamma so far away"
As she spoke she fingered glossy curl
And sent up prayer for her baby-girl
And her heart thrObbed with thud of pain,
And she waited TO hear the sweet voice again.
= Don't say far away please, mamma dear,
For the home of the angels is very near
There's only a stream that runs between,
And the banks are covered with beautlful green;
/ think | should like to live there, mamma,
You would MT stay long here, you and papa,
You d come over there, and live with me-
Papa and mamma and I-all three.

THE BOARD or TRESTc

Mr.. WILLIAM WELSH has written a letter in
defense of the late action of the Legislature
in reference to the future management of the
City Trusts. If all the proposed Board of
Directors were composed of men like him,
and if the public were assured that men of a
similar stamp would be invariably chosen
hereafter to manage charitable bequests, all
opposition to the proposed new system would
speedily cease, and it would be a matter of
very little importance what restrictions were
thrown around the new Board, or whether it
was permitted to exercise absolute control, in
every respect, of the Girard estates and other
properties left in trust to Philadelphia. But
the Board is by no means composed exclu-
sively of men of his stamp; and
while many of his associates stand
high in the community, there
is scarcely one of them who is not as decided
a partisan, either as a Republican or Demo
crat, as the members of the Board elected by
Councils Mr. Welsh undertakes to argue
the constitutional question of the right of the
Legislature to transfer the control of the
bequests from the citizens of Philadelphia,
where it was originally vested, to a body
which would be as much beyond their control
as the Supreme Court of the United States.
He bases his argument on an extract from the
decision in the last suit instituted by the
Girard heirs, but it is extremely doubtful
whether this extract is conclusive. AS we
read it, clear authority is given to change the
administrator only when tile corporation is dis
sOICed, and there is a world of diffe-
ence between the modification or enlargement
of the franchises of the corporation, and the
transfer of the powers it has heretofore exer-
cised to twelve judges who in turn transfer
them to twelve directors who are to serve
during life. We deeply regret that Girard' S
noble bequest has been mismanaged hereto
fore we sincerely trust that it may be well
managed hereafter but the people may we'll
pause before their authority over this sub
iect is entirely taken forever from their
hands and committed to an irresponsible
body, which, whether it acts wisely or un-
wisely, justly or unjustly, will be entirely be-
yond the reach of their influence. AT
all events Councils should be cordially
sustained in their determination to have
the questions at issue thoroughly and legally
tested. 1t would be exceedingly unwise to
suffer the control of property worth many
millions of dollars to pass forever from the
people without being fully satisfied that the
Legislature had an indisputable right to make
this transfer and much as We respect Mr..
Welsh, we think that the appointing judges
who declared that the proposed transfer was

THE MAINE ELECTION.

MAINE holds an election to-day for State officers and
members of the Legislature upon which will fall the
duty Of selecting a successor to the late Senator
Fessenden and county officers. For the Governor
ship there has been triangular fight in progress,
the extreme temperance men, not content with the
very reasonable stand taken on the liquor question
by the Republican party as whole, having set up a
candidate of their own to the utter complication of
the contest. The three rival Gubernatorla asprants
are as follows
RepubliCan-General Joshua L. Chamberlain.
DemoCratiC-Franklin Smith,
PrOhibtonist-N. G. HichbOrn.
General Chamberlain, who made splendid record
during the for the Union was first elected Gov
OF the State in 1866 his opponent at that time
being Eden f. Plsbury. In 1867, and again In 1865,
he was trumphantly reelected over Mr.. Pillsbury,
whose excessive i'll luck as a Gubernatoral candi-
date led the Democracy to drop his name this year
in favor of one that was not overwhelmed with the
prestige OF defeat
If the present contest were square fight between
the two parties, the following figures which give the
result OF the State elections since 1885, would present
a fair index OF the probable result of the election

THE HUMBOLDT CENTENNIAL

The celebration which will take place TODAY
and tomorrow in Europe and America will
be no common tribute to the memory of a
great man, and the unanimity with which
widely separated nations, differing in language,
laws, and political and social institutions,
have agreed to honor the name of such a man
as Alexander Won Humboldt, is creditable to
the spirit of the age, and an all-suficient
commentary on the great work which he per-
formed during lifetime prolonged far be-
yond the allotted threescore years and ten.
1t is fitting that the two hemispheres should
thus unite to honor his memory, for there
were few of the great men whose names the
world will not willingly let die who were better
entitled to be considered cosmopolitans, citi-
zens of the world, and belonging to all man
kind. Our German fellow-citizens naturally
take pride in Humboldt as a fellow-country-
men, and with Characteristic enthusiasm they
have entered upon the present celebration
with the intention Of making it worthy of the
