THE GOOD EFFECTS OF PoLITI-
CAL AGITATION.
or Massachusetts.

The political convulsions which re-
cur every four years In the country
have a healthy effect. The very Bit
terness which is born Of agitation pro-
duces good results. 1t causes the peo-
pie to investigate national affairs, and
thereby prevents official corruption
from becoming organic. Official hon.
esty Is made the basis Of all parties In
efforts to gain public support. Each
candidate endeavors to convince the
people that his party, and his party
alone, can advance the interests and
maintain the honor Of the Republic.
The people as a general thing listen
patiently to the claims Of each. exam
Inc the facts presented, weigh the evil
dence, and impar,lally decide which
party, in their judgment. Is best enti-
tied to their support. This popular
agitation every four years has another
good effect. IL causes the party in
power to DO on It's guard constantly,
not to abuse the confidence placed in
it. Should 1t do so, the verdict Of the
people, from which there Is no appeal,
will repudiate it and entrust the gov
ernment to a party which they hope
will be more honest and worthy. For
nearly twelve years the Republican
party. has been In power. and it still
retains the confidence OF the people.
II dishonest officials crept into power,
as soon as their dishonesty was discov-
cred, they were at oucc removed.
The party itself has remained hon
est ; iategrity has been the rule and
corruption the exception. The search
ing Investigations which have been
been made into General Grants off,
cial acts haze revealed nothing that
reflects upon his honor as 4 man ; OH
his integrity as an official. Personal
abuse has been heaped upon him, and
partisan ingenuity has strivcn to
blackeu his fame, but he Is %impregna-
BILE to all such attacks. He will enter
upon his second term with the entire
confidence of the American people,
who confidently expect the dawn of
Al era Of increased prosperity. May
the Great Ruler Of nations grant that
during tho next four years commerce,
agriculture, manufactures and mining
may receive q new impetus, and the
national debt be still more largely de-
creased. That such will be the effect
OF the reelection Of General Grant,
no one need have a doubt.

LAURA o. FAIR.
An Unurateful as well as Bad Woman.

from the San Francisco Call Of Saturday
Another phase in the affairs Of Laura
d. Fair! Judge Quint, to whom mor
than all others she owes her life, or ut
u rate. her freedom, has felt himself
compelled to bring suit against his
former client to obtain from her the
sums due to him for his services. Tho
suit was flied yesterday, and Judge
Quint gives the following statement of
the causes which have led to Its insti-
tuition: The original agreement In
the case of Mrs. Fair. previous to her
first trial. was that Judge Quint was to
receive $1,000 for his services, viz ::
81, 500 cash. which he did receive. and
81, 500 which he was to be paid after
the trial, and which he has moi re-
ceived. This agreement was made
with Mrs. Lane, on behalf Of Mrs. Fair.
The verdict being Murder OF the first
degree" Judge Quint did not feel that
II would be right for him to claim the
second 81, 500. and therefore he went
OH with the case. without further re-
ception of cash. He drew up the brief
upon which the Supreme Court granted
4 new trial, and did all the heavy
work in connection with the prepara-
tious for her second trial. The result
Of IL all was that she was acquitted. as
all the world knows. Last week Judge
Quint went to her and asked for the
balance Of g. 500 and for 1915 expen-
SEES. which he incurred in going to
Truckee to look into the matter Of the
juror Beach; In preparing the brief for
the Supreme Court; In printing Of doc
uments and In various other necessary
work. 70 Judge Quint's amazement,
Mrs. FAIR RErUpINrED THE AGREE
MEST.
She told Mr.. Quint-the man who
had saved her lltc-that she had paid
him all that his services had been
worth-which In one sense Is more
than true. She said that she had not
authorized Mrs. Lane TO make any
agreement on her behalf: and a. to the |
extra expenses, she had not asked Mr..
Quint to incur them. and, therefore.
did not consider herself responsible for
them. Judge Quint has therefore
brought suit against her. not only for
the balances due OIL the first trial. but
also for his services in the second trial.
He sues for $S,0I5, made up as fol-
lows: Due oil the first trial, 81. 500
extra expenses, $575; services at last
trial. $4,000. Total, $500.
Judge Quiut has attached her money
IN TWO banks, viz: In the Savings aud
Loan Society, S6,375; in the Odd Eel
lows Bank. whatever she may have
there, the officers Of the bank refusing
to disclose the amount standing in
their books to her credit. So the mat
ter stands at present. We have heard
but II opinion expressed In regard
to it, and that Is fervent hope that
Mr.. Quint may get every cent that he
has claimed.

The Sailor and the Fuschia.
BY j. C. M'CABE.

Near seaport town, in the year 1871
there lived Il poor woman and her only
son n lad of about sixteen years. BY
great industry in mendng nets, patching
sails, and doing all kinds of little odd
jobs, they barely managed to make a
poor living. Her husband had been a
sailor, aud, like some other sailors, after
many years of going and returning safely,
at last badc good bye to his home, set
sail, and was never heard of again. There
was long, weary time of expecting
hoping and watching for some tidings
Of the missing ship-but in vain; none
ever came
1t was natural the boy should turn for
livelihood to the life his f,ther had
chosen and loved; aud it was natural
,ha. his nin,her after enc lnss alonla
dissuade him from it.
"Do not tell me ofthe money you will
bring me" said she. "What care | for
money? Think Of yonr poor father"
However his desire to try the ocean
surmountcd all obstacles, aud one bright
morning he stood before her to say good
bye.
What shall bring you mothcr?" said
he, cheerfully.
Bring me yourself" she .sobbed,
through her ters; lit is all want"
But, mother, you must tell me some
thing" said he;"tell Inc something now ]"
The widow lifted her head; she thought
o! nothing, and cared for nothing in her
great BORROW; she glanced at the open
door. Bring ire, then," said she, IA
flower for my garden"
So the sailor boy departed. 1t would
be long story to tell all his adyentu-
res; until, at Lass, from port in Chill,
tho captain resoved to sail for home
1t was the last day on shore, when the
lad remembered his mothers request
"a flower, and the handsomest can
tind, my mother shall have"
The plant was obtained, and carefully
he tended it all the long voyage home
and when he stood with it in his hand,
at tho door Of their small dwelling, place

ald merriiy sang out, "Here 1 am mo-
ther, and here is your fower!" one can
scarce imagine the happiness of that
humble little home.
The widow hugged and kissed her boy
and planted her flower, which throve
finely in its new home. Soon after, q
gentleman, travelling that way, saw it;
admired it, and paid her large price
for slip from it. In richer soil it be-
came still more beautiful. It's sprouts
wefe sold for twenty guineas plant
aud this was the beginning of one of our
most splendid iuschias 1t is stated that
a high offer was made for the entire
plant, but the widow would only sell
slips from it.

For the little shoes are empty, in my closet
laid away,

1t is little, balf-worn shoe, and much too
small for me;
And all at once feel sense of bitter loss
and pain,
And sharp as when, two years ago, it cut
my heart in twain.
Oh little feet that weary not, 1 wait for
them no more,
For am drifting on the tide, and they have
reached the shore;
And while the binding tcar-drops wet these
little shoes SO old,

streets of gold;
And then l lay them down again, but al

God bless the little feet that now 80 surely

And while thus am standing, almost seem

The little face. uplifted, with its soft and ten

the empty air,
For there's nothing Of my darling but the
shoes he used to wear.
Oh! the bitterness of parting cannot be done

Until meet my darling where his feet can

When no more am drifting upon the surg

But with him safely landed upon the other

For the little feet can never, no, can noyrcr

And poor Isabel. her cheeks burning,
walking on to the station that she had
arrived at so lately, wondering where
she would go, when glad, joyous voice
called her name.
"Isabel, were you going home to me.
as you promised me to do if you needed

She instinctively recoiled step.
Then, seeing that no one was in the
waiting room but themselves, she threw
back her veil, and gave him the full
benefit of her Indignation.
"How dare you ask me such ques-

An hour later, when the railway

Opposite, the doors were all fast

had been seemingly lighted to mock her
own chccrless lonesomeness and it
seemed to her, in her bitterness, that
she conld see mocking. derisive ,.nilc
on the face Of all DaiSyviIlc, that she,
proud Isabel Kent, the daughter, und

was tonight to leave her home II poor
girl, to battle with the world, which had

With shiScr, less Of cold than dis.

So it was there she was going. Two

But everything seemed so changed now;
even Isabel kent herself had changed
