Hon. James G. Blaine, was serenaded in
Cleveland. Ohio where he was Temporal

responding said:
The war closed. ten years ago near
ly, and yet here stand the Republican and
Democratic Parties dividing the country,
each appealing to the people for support
and confidence and l submit to you,
gentlemen, tonight, whether the same
questions which the Republicans have
sought to bury out of sight. and to settle
forever, are not continually obtruded upon
public attention, and again and again sub
mitted TO your decision by what l must in
plain Language call the misconduct of the
Democratic Party; for beg to say that in
all the disturbed and distracted Southern
States to-day, there would be peace and
harmony and content if the Democratic
Party OF the country SO willed il. Why,
the Democratic Party of the State of New
York-the Empire State-has just announ-
ced q new creed, which all the States are
copying and all swearing new fealty and
allegiance TO, and yet the very central
figure. the alpha and the omega of that
creed, is announced in that article which
claims, as they term it. home rule-"hands
Of" That is, the Federal Government
must not interfere anywhere, no matter
how great an abuse may be heaped upon a
citizen. That is the doctrine proclaimed
everywhere, and upon that doctrine. here
and now and everywhere, the Republican
Party takes issue and declares that citi-
zen of the United States, Of high or low
degree, rich or poor, black or white, ma
tive or adopted, must be protected by the
Government OF the United States, when

goes to the very root and marrow of the
rights of citizenship, and unless you and
are able to protect the meanest, the poor
est, and lowest citizen of the United States.
your safety and mine are not guaranteed.
Let me submit to you great anomaly In
the administration Of justice. 1t was but
three weeks since all the civilized world
was shocked by the barbarous massacre

together, of sixteen colored men in the
State of Tennessee. The Government Of

To attempt description Of even very
small part Of this exhibition which is so CON-
piete in all its departments. would occupy too
much space. for there Is such a display Of the
products of industry that II il hard to tell

wish that everybody could visit this Fair and
see all the useful and beautiful things which
have been brought together. Everybody seems
to appreciate the display, and each day and
evening the immense halls are crowded with
Interested spectators. Everything cannot be
seen In one evening. II Is only by repeated
visits thst the full benefit Of the exhibition is
received. Each successive day shows an in.
creased attendance. The art gallery seems 20
have proved one Of the greatest attractions and
the brilliant and varied array of works are
in every way worthy OF great admiration.
There has been only one drawback and this Is
lack of room, notwithstanding the construction
OF the gallery which joins the two halls.
Probably at some future time q building will
be erected for this purpose alone which will
meet the demands Of the public.
MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS.
The beautiful Mrs. Siddons will not come to
America this season on account OF IN health.
but will send the distinguished reader, Madame

engagements.
The Rev. ". II. Cudworth has refused the
call from the church Of the Messiah in New

will accept.

The CHARITIES OF BOSTON

DoSiON, Sept. p.
The CHARITIES OF BOSTON.
Last Thursday evening, Col. Russell II.
Conwen addressed 8 large audience in Music
Hall, taking for his theme, "Charity. He was
introduced by Hon. Geo. b. Loring. This
subject involves a wide range Of thought, and
it is one which should be investig sted, and if
possible, such means should be applied as will
work q reformation in many of our charitable
institutions. The number OF persons who are
willing to live on charity is constantly increas-
ing, and many who are well able to work, live
on another's hard earned money. for our streets
are filled with beggsrs who are no mere nor
less, than vile swindlers, and by asking and
receiving aims, they rob those who are really
needy. The lecturer said that u whole city
should be under one organization, or at least
there should be aeentral organization, in which
all charitable bodies should be represented.
This would prevent the evil Of too much Civ.
ing, where several associations are uncon.
sciously helping the same person, and keep an
impostor from duping more than one society.
Thespeaker said ne had been for months EN-.
pioyed in gathering statistics, and he had found
that sixty-three per cent. Of all the persons
who had applied for assistance at the various
institutions were impostors, while many were
sWindssrs s9d professional burglars. Most Of
our charitable organizations and institutions
are not to be doubted, but there are eight or
ten that are systematized swindlers. Facts
were related showing that some Of these thst
we see and pity every day are wealthy. and
own blocks Of buildings and bank stocks.
