Sitting on the piazza of the Cataract, was a
young, toppish- looking gentleman, his gar
ments very highly secuted with a min gled
odor of musk and cologne. y solemn laced.
odd>iooking man, after passing the dandy
several times, with look Of aversion which
drew general notice, suddenly stopped, and
in confidential tone said
stranger, know what'll take that scent
out OF your clothes you"
"What! what do you mean, sir ?" said the
exquisite, fired with Indignation, starting from
his chair.
'Oh, get mad, now-swear, pitch round,
hght-Just because man wants to do you
kindness c"olly replied the stranger
"Bnt L tell you do know what'll take out
that ssmell-phew You just bury your
clothes em day or two Uncle josh
got a-foul of skunk. and he
AT this instant there went up from the
crowd Simultaneous roar of merriment, and
the dandy very scuslbly cleared the coop"
and vanished up stairs.

Ileaned from'ourmy two pair back
The afternoon was mild
Acab passed by and on its track
A little dirty child.
Cabby drives calmly through the slush,
With all unconscious mind;
The dirty c''id comes with rush,
And chambers up behind.
His mates had looked with careless eye
On a II his efforts vain.
But nov hos landed high and dry,
They burn with obvious pain.
And as he sits between the wheels.
happy as "lnrd.
eli whip behinRu' with hoots nd squeels,
They yell with one accord:
The driver turns and plies the lash,
The child falls in the dirt,
And in puddle rolls ker-splash-
think he must be hurt!
He turns away-that ragged boy
He'e anything but gay;
His little friends they jump for Joy,
And go on with their play!
I shook my head despondiugiy-
''Ah. such is life, guest"
A man meets little sympathy
While struggling for success.
And when the back of Fortunes
He's clutched, you'll always find
How ready all his best trienGsaIe

NEW POLITICAL DEPARTURE.

The resolutions of the Peoples indie
pendent Party. which we publish on our
first page, break new ground in the field
OF politics. The first plank in their plat
form consists of direct assault upon |
the old doctrine of party fealty;" but
how party is to maintain itself without
the adoption of some means to keep the
members true to the faith, does not APP
pear to be satisfactorily set forth, al
though the Independent Party seems to
rely exclusively upon the fitness of the
nominations made as the best means of
securing party support. Several resolu-
tons follow which relate to the railroad
interests, and which are clearly and dis
tinctly hostile to all subsidies, and de-
mands that railroads be placed under
government control. The free pass sys-
TEN is denounced, and its prohibition by
law is demanded. The new party is
pledged to thorough reform in the civil
service, and the "back pay steal " is
held up as shame and disgrace to Amer
lean legislation. OF all the resolutions
passed, none have so clear ring as that
in opposition to the present tariff, which
is denounced as the result OF dishonest
and corrupt system of bargaining in
Congress. Irrigation is regarded as a
necessity, and the Legislature is called
upon to retain control Of all streams aud
lakes. One OF the resolutions favors the
maintenance OF the public school sys-
TEN, and another denounces the primary
election system. The new party favors
the one-term principle in the matter of
the Presidency. The eighthour law is
approved, and the heather Chinee is
in great disfavor, the party even urging
the abrogation of the Durlingame treaty,
except for commercial purposes. The
last resolution of the series is Mandatory
of Governor Booths course during the
State contest Just closed. Owing to the
short time which elapses between now
