NUMBER 3.
COLFAN AND BLAINE.

James G. Blaine and Vice President Col
fax have given, during the past week, their
views O. The present status Of the Demo-
cratic party. AS both are supporters Of
Grant, they might be expected to agree at
least concerning the existence of that party,
even if at swords, points concerning its aims.
But Mr. Colfax contends that the Demo-
cratic party committed suicide at Baltimore,
being completely swallowed by the old-lne
Republicans, Greeley, Sumner, Schurz.
Trrmbull Bowles Banks, Palmer & Co.,
while Blaine, on the other hand, contends
that the Republicans, especially Greeley and
Sumner committed suicide, being completely
engulphed in the Democratic party. COlfax
contends that the equality of the negro, the
climax of the whole issue which has been
pending for twenty years between the two
parties, is not now only imbedded in the
Constitution, but unanimously ratified by
the whole Democratic party, and is now as
sured beyond danger Blaine contends that
the negro is in imminent danger of some
fearful calamity, the nature of which he does
not clearly define, but we take it to be either
falling from grace, the measles, or cerebrO
spinal menU1gitus. Colfax seems to say:
Now, O Lord, let thy servant depart in
peace, for mine eyes have seen Thy saliva
toni while Blaine dwells tearfuy upon the
appalling condition Of the negro and exclaims
in wrath, " How long, O Lord how longw
We suppose the difference will be found to
arise from the fact that Colfax is not a can
didate for anything, while Blaine is. Col
fax, having had some hand in the negro
saving business, knows when it is done.
Blaine, thinking it has paid such good divi-
dends to all who have invested in it, don't
like TO hear that the books are all closed and
no more shares can be had. 1t is a sad
thing that we can't get our politics into
some wel-deiined groove or rut, such as
Saving the negro, and crushing the Re-
beion, and keep it there until all who want
office can get it. The necessity Of constantly
moving on is a dreadful one to Italian organ
grinders and American politicians. They do
like little peace once in while. They can
only have it by getting politics into we'll
defined and perceptible rut, SO that poll
tician can know how his constituents are
going to vote. Chicago Tribune.

TO MISS j. :.

Once on time, my dear young girl
1t was not long ago
I thought you was friend of mine,
Alas it was not so.
l saw you through the gloomy night
When calumnies flew fast
l saw you there forsake a friend,
Ny hea 1T beat hard and fast
When l last see the glittering orb,
In glowing splendor red;
One only boon I ask of thee,
To ease my aching head.
And when the cold and silent earth
Enwraps this mortal frame,
Remember have striven hard,
And gained an empty name.
1t was ambition led me on,
To empty fame ascend,
1t was to prove my love for thee,
That l my knees did bend.
But now, alas my hopes have fled,
Since you have been untrue,
The only one loved on earth,
l must now bid adieu.
But when beneath the drear cold tomb,
This heart has ceased to beat,
Entwne the laurel round the stone,
Which rises at my feet.
This will but show that | have felt
For one | deemed most true,
That DER my brow the green shall wave
Instead of bonny blue.
What more than this It's all T want
Since you and l must part,
But ere we do, thou tickle maid,
Pray give me back my heart.
