speeches, on any triumphant occasion
with touch of Scripture, and gives
out the Doxology at the close Of

them pious women, actually accept
the lead of this gentleman-seem to

Degeneracy of Politics.

Is this, or is it not fair picture? ?
If it is fair, what is the duty of good
citizens, Of our Christian citizens,
men of character, means, influence and
leisure? ? The Nation says:
"Stand at the polls and watch the
men who vote the Republican ticket
in this city. Nine out of ten, at the
very least, are respectfully dressed,
clean-faced, intelligent men; not two
in ten bear the slightest trace of liq-
uor in their faces; not one in fifty
looks as if he had ever been actually
drunk; not one in hundred looks
like a fighting man. Now 60 to
the first meeting of the Republican
General Committee. Behold shout
ing, smoking, hard-drinking, swearing,
riotous mob of men, two-thirds OF
whom are red-faced, blear-eyed, dirty,
obscene, shoulder-hitting wretches,
who look like a Gro IS between bar
keepers and prize-fghters. How, in
the name of decency, did they get
there? The answer is simple. In
the few districts where respectable
men have a majority at the primary
elections, they make up their tickets
with an allowance of two-fifths to the
roughs from motives of policy. In
the rest of the districts, the delega
tions are made up of one scoundrel
in a good coat and clean shirt, and
four scoundrels not so bad inside a:

matter what faction may be upper

jority.

of the faction in power is a charac

Only the Clothes She Wore.

The following verses are by the late Mr.. N. G.
The poem is founded on an actual
incident. the clothes only of drowned woman
remaining at the Morgue for identification
There is the hat
With the blue veil thrown round it, just as they
found it,
Spotted and soiled stained and spoiled
Do you recognize that
The gloves, too, lie there,
And in them still fingers the shape other fingers,
That some one has pressed, perhaps, and caressed,
So slender and fair.
There are the shoes,
With their long silken laces, still bearing traces
To the toes dainty tip, of the mud of the slip,
The slime and the ooze.
There is the dress,
Like the blue veil, all dabbled, discolored and
drabbled--
This you should know, without doubt, and if so.
AL else you may guess
There is the shawl,
With the striped border, hung next in order,
Soied hardly less than the light muslin dress,
And--that is all
All, here's a ring,
We were forgetting, with pearl setting;
There was only this one-name or date-none!
A frail, pretty thing;
A keepsake, maybe,
The gift of another, perhaps brother,
Or lover, who knows him her heart chose,
Or, was she heart-free?
Does the hat there,
With the hlue veil around it, the same as they
found it,
Summon up fair face with just trace
Of gold in the hair
Or does the shawl,
Mutely appealing to some hidden feeling,
A form, young and slight, TO your minds sight
Clearly recall?
A month now has passed
And her sad history remains yet a mystery,
But these we keep still, and shall keep them until
Hope dies at last.
Was she the prey
Of some deep sorrow clouding the morrow,
Hiding from view the sky's happy blue
Or was there foul play
Alas who may tell
Some one or other, perhaps fond mother,
May recognize these when her child's clothes she

The following extract from the columns Of
The Nation, is from the pen of Hon. J. N. Usher
principal agent from Massachusetts to the Uni
vcrsal Exposition, Paris.
American Button Hole Machine. Manufac-
turcd 10y the American Combination Sewing Ma
chine Company, of Philadelphia.
We have been intending to say a word in rela-
tiOn TO this machine since our return from the
Universal Exposition, but have neglected it un-
I'll the present time. We are now reminded Of
our neglect by observing that this machine took
the highest premium at the late fair in Spring
field.
Among the improvements Of the present age,
we may class the sewing machine as one of the
most important II has proved blessing to the
household in every civilized nation. These ma
chimes have proved a success in the performance
oialmost every kind Of sewing that human hands
have accomplished, and stand as monuments Of
American skill and inventive genius, and as pro
moters Of domestic comfort. But among them
the Button Hole Machine steps forth as the great
est triumph of all. 1t seems TO be the ne plus
ultra of successful invention.
The American Button Hole Machine is a Won
der in itself; so simple IN its construction, so
easily worked and withal so durable, that it must
work its way into every family. 1t seems 10 COM
blne in one machine the advantages of all, tor,
while il works button holes rs well as those done
by hand, il Is also capable Of doing all kinds of
work that other machines do.
At the Paris Exposition it took Silver Medal,
and we may say that no machine on exhibition
so attracted the attention of visitors and jurors,
and called forth their delight and approval as
did this machine.
We gave much attention TO the section of sew
ing machines. visiting it daily, and were proud,
rs an American, to hear the praise bestowed up
on the American Combination Button Hole and
Sewing Machine.
II received, as it deserved, the highest award
and we predict Tor il great success.
