New York Tribune: The Republican
masses may well survey the situation
with alarm when they find that the mis-
management and recklessness Of the ad-
ministration have left them, at crisis
like this, without commander. Who,
of all their chief men in Congress or the
executive offices, can strike the key note
of policy for them, or rally their half
broken ranks ? They had nobody to
send into Maine except Senator Morton,
who is more thoroughly identified than
any other man in public life with all the
odious measures which have brought the
party into disrepute, Boutwell, is
involved in the same disgrace as Morton.
Delano dare not take the stump for fear
of damaging his own eide. The leaders
of three years ago are politically dead
destroyed by Credit Mobilier or the
Louisiana usurpatiOn, or the force bill,
or the outrage fraud. The survivors OF
remoter and purer generation OF
politicians have been driven into exile.
Mr.. Conkling could only help the
campaign in New York by keeping away
from the Convention; and when tho
party of this State undertook tomake the
best possible show for itself in desperats
circumstances, it could think Of no better
means than sending all its leaders TO the
rear and passing pointed condemnation

A cold snap has emptied the garrets
everybody smells so strong Of camphor
that it is difficult to say who does and
who does not belong to base ball club.
A Danbury mother has determined to
frown down such excessive folly in fash
ion as striped stockings and the like.
She says her son shall not keep COM
pany with any girl who makes a circus
of her legs"
Thirty-seven young men, in unbroken
line, stood immovable in front Of the
Baptist church, Sunday evening, as the
meeting closed and the congregation
passed out. 1t was a grand sight, an in
spring spectacle, and as we observed
their flashing eyes, erect carriage, and
broad brows, and realized that these
were the coming men, the nations future
support, we felt like taking them by the
hand and saying to each one OF them,
Young man, are your mothers Kind
lings ready for the morning"
That honesty which has made New
England famous is breathed in with its
mountain air, and the child takes it the
moment il is born. A Danbury man
thought he heard some one after his
turkeys, Saturday night. lie went out
with his gun in time to send load of
shot after a retiring figure. The next
morning he called on his next door neigh
Dor, and asked the little girl where her
mother Was "she is in the other room
picking shot out of pas back" said the
child.

Hans Christian Andeysen's Won
der|uf simplicity.

His marvellous simplicity extended to
every affair of life. He, who had made
many rich, was poor himself His books
brought him very little; the tiny pen
sion allowed him by the State and his
free stall at the theater constituted his
wealth. But he never thought of money;
in that, too, he had all child's perfect
trustfulness. Some spirited attempts
were made TO marry him; one in partic-
ular by a handsome peasant girl, who
wrote him love letter, and then took it
to him herself. When he read it she
urged her cause in words. al would be

it was enough for all his life and then
he would weave some of his purest,
brightest, and most beautiful and grace

that nobody else could eat that nobody

When the thorn had been extracted he
wept with joy, and sat for hours holding
the little instrument of torture between
his fingers and thumb, exhibiting it to
all newcomers, and expatiating on his
sufierings. Suddenly he coughed, and
missed the thorn. 1t was impossible to
persuade him it had not flown into his
mouth and been swallowed. "Will it

mournfully, touching his stomach and
his finger alternately.

4 Terrible Crime.

One of the most brutal and tendish murders

years old, daughter Of Josiah Laughlin, Of

day took his wife and Miss Laughlin plum

tigued, staid with the team, and schell and
Miss Laughlin started for hazel and plum
thicket some distance away. Afterward,
Schell returned alone, aud said Miss l.aughlin
had strayed away so far he could aot find
her An alarm was finally given, and search
made, the crowd constantly increasing, until
hundreds were searching. The body was
found next morning nearly nude, her throat
cut from ear to ear, the grass trampled
and smeared with blood for a roA around,
giving evidence Of deadly struggle.
Schell was arrested. The bloody knife was
found In his pscket. Cficer sherman took
him TO Jail. The coroner held an inquest,
during which schell's wife testified that her
husband had committed the murder; that
he told her he intended To rayish her fail

A LETTER from Norwich, Conn, to the
Hartford Times contains the following
story as told by George W. Fuller
submarine diver, who is now in the
mer city;
While performing some work for
Uncle sam in one of the southern ports,
where il was customary for those who
supplied the market with early green
truck to load their boats and row them
around to the wharf, it happened that one
day burly negro loaded his boat with
watermelons, and had just reached the
dock where the usual number of loungers
stood watching the operations OF the
diver. The negro, all unconscious of
his situation, was zealously endeayoring
to dispose of his cargo, when Fuller sud
denly emerged, helmet first, from the
water, thrusting his goggle-eyes and
ugly head before the astonished occupant
Of the boat, and seizing one of the largest
Of the melons, sunk Immediately. The
darkey, with a yell and bound, reached
the dock, and neither stopped nor turned
until he reached home with the tidings
that de debble had 'tiscated de melons
and Was taken 'um down"
