Railroad Prospects.

It will be known ere many months whether We can depend upon an early or far-of construction of the Texas and Pacit- ic railway. Col. Scott, President of the road, announces his purpose to go before Congress with a well-defined proposition for ample government aid-not for money, nor more lands, but for a guarantee of in- terest on bonds of the company, in return for which he will give as security the lands, road and it's equipments. This is surely fair and will amply secure govern ment, and also do much to revive various branches of industry in the country. In connection with this, it is telegraphed that the President will recommend aid to the Texas and Pacific. Owing to the expira- now favor granting the aid, who would not do so, however willing, prior to the late election. Had they voted ald then, most of them could hardly have been elected to stay at home by larger majorities. The big press of the country frightened the average statesman from doing what he believed to be right, and it is rather good thing that such were defeated after listen- ing to and acting in accordance with the dictation of certain large city newspapers, whose editors know but little of the feeling that prevails with the masses who consti- tute the majority at the ballot box.

The Deaf Mans Mistake.

Old Mr. Collamer, one of the members
of our church, is extremely deaf Last
Sunday the clergyman, during his ser
mon, had occasion to introduce IA quota
ton, and as it was quite long he brought
the volume with him, and when the time
came he picked up the book and began
to read from it, We always sing the Old
Hundred doxology after sermon at our
church, and Mr.. Colamer, seeing the pas
tor with the book, thought the time had
come, so while the minister was reading
he opened his hymn book at the place.
Just rs the clergyman laid the volume
down the man sitting next to Mr.. Cola
mer began TO yawn, and Mr.. Collamer,
thinking he was about to sing, imme-
diately broke out in Old Hundred at the
top OF his voice. As the clergyman was
beginning secondly" and as, Of
course, there was perfect silence in the
church, the effect of Mr. Collamer's vo-
ciferation was very startling. But the
good old man didn't notice that anything
was the matter, 50 he kept right on and
sang the entire verse through. When he
concluded, he observed that everybody
else seemed to be quiet, excepting a few
who were laughing, so he leaned over and
SAID out loud to the man that yawned,
What's the matter with this congrega-
ton, anyhow? Why don't they go
home?' The man turned scarlet, and
the pers piration broke out all over him,
for he felt that the eyes the congregation
were upon him, and he knew that he
would have to yell to make Mr.. Cola
mer hear. So he touched his lips
with his fingers, as sign for the
old man to keep quiet But Colamer
misunderstood the motion "Going to
sing another hymn, hey All right" and
he began to tumble his hymn book again.
Then the sexton sailed up the aisle and
explained matters out loud to Mr.. Cola
mer, and that gentleman subsidized, while
the minister proceeded with his dis
course The elders have written Mr..
Collamer a note, requesting him in the
future not to join in The sacred harmony.
The effect is too appalling upon the ribald
boys in the gallery Nar Adeler.

Proposed Democratic Revolution.

The ST. Louis Times has undertaken a
herculean task in proposing that the rank
and file OF the Democratic party shall
ignore leaders and direct the opera
tiuns of the party machinery without the
assistance OF the great lights" of De-
mocracy. This is a line of policy never
hitherto pursued by the Democratic
party. The masses of that organization
have invariably followed their "leaders"
as devotedly and as blndly as companies
of soldiers follow their Captains, regl-
ments their Colonies, and hrgades their
Generals. TO drop out OF the ranks has
lin the Democratic party always been
pronounced treason, and punishable with
prompt communication. The Times
proposes to reform this practice al
together. 1t says:
The moment that they (the leaders, fail of their
obligations either by inaction or uuwisdom, or
any manner Of corruption, then it becomes the
duty OF the party 10 repudiate its treachereus
servants and purify itself of their inodorous pres
enCe.
Reducing Democratic "eaders" bel0to
the ranks, and giving them the title of
servants" is such an utter revolution in
Democratic party practice as TO raise the
question whether both leaders and follow
ers will not demur. The Times, however,
leaves loophole in its plan to secure
Democratic party purity. 1t says:
Nothing Is to be gained by insttuting any new
association upon the fine theory that it shall en-
body all OF the virtues, with none OF the vices by
which its predecessors were distinguished
If "vlces" are to be left in, we are in.
clined to the opinion that the Democratic
leaders will step upon the Times PLATFORM
even if they are to receive the title of
servants into the bargain. But the con
clusion of the article in the Times from
which we have quoted will not suit the
Democratic stomach. The subject of
leadership" says the Times, &" is Ques-
ton which artful demagogues, and sala-
bic politicians, and adventurous schem-
ers should have no part nor parcel in
determining" We may well ask: What
will be left of the Democratic party or
ganiZation when the "arttul demagogues,
and salable politicians, and adventurous
schemers" shall Lo longer have "part
nor parcel" in shaping its policy? The
Times has entered upon an arduous un-
dertaking, in which we wish it God
speed for when the classes against which
it wages virluOuS warfare are weeded out,
the Democratic party will be greatly re
duced numerically, and the country will
be proportionately benetited.-Chtcag0

THE FOREST EASTER.

BY ALICE ARNOLD CRAWFORD.
In the forests of the North
Shines the Easter morning forth;
Shines and gmmers, fits and smiles,
Down the winding woodland aisles
Sect the vapors rising breath
Floats rs life released from death,
Pure above the stainless snow.
Look bsw shadows in the glow,
Melted from their icy keeping, out OF hidden cells
are creeping,
out of twilight inches leapng at the beck ming of
the light
Has the Spring remembered Easter, in the North
land still and white!
Have the symbols of the morning deck'd the dim
cathedral wood
Have they written, " He Is risen," in the snowy
solitudeS
Are the lilies incense breathing? Are the fair
camellias wreathing
Carven birch and pillar'd plnef
Do the lustrous myrtes twlne with the roses
waxen whittier
Creeps the iyys emerald vine Ger the skV-pnllt
easement heighty
Tell us, sleeping, sluggard Spring! show us, liy-
ing, waking Spring.
Where Is laid thine offering for the Easter-ude!
In the forests OF the North
O'er the snow-hills peepng forth,
Down the sunny side,
Thro' the Winters frosted tear.
Thro' the mosses cold and sere,
Pure and fair as lilies are,
Opes the sweet arbutus star.
Silken-petal'd, rosy .upp'd,
Snowy hearted dewy.lipp'd
Never loveer offering could the tropic sunshine
bring.
Offspring of an angel-breath,
Warmed TO life through chill and death;
Never trner Easter sign robed a cross or strew'd
shrine"
Ay, the Spring has chosen well, better than we
understood.

Connecticut.

Connecticut wert Democratic yester-

4th OF next March
Connecticut has always been politically
close State. At every election each
party hopes for victory. Occasionally
The Republicans have been beaten, but
not often, and itso happens that they have
always carried the Legislature when a

been elected as a Republican. Isaac

Of the Navy, was the last of the Demo
