The Fair Tambourinsr

With feet half naked and bare
And dress all tattered and torn;
With penny here aud mockery there,
And floods of derision and scOrn,
She wanders the street wherever her feet,
Weary or willing, are borne,
With an eye as bright and cheek as fair
As the earliest blush of the morn.
Wandering up and down,
And driven from door to door,
A Jest for every idle clown
And butt for every boor.
While the velvet-slippered in satin and lace,
Go rustling by her side,
With a chilling look and averted face,
And lip all curled with pride.
So beautiful-Yet so frail;
So willing, and yet go weak;
o, what if the heart should fail
And heavenly purpose break.
And the dens and kennels OF vice
Another poor victim should hOld2
A celestial spark be quenched in the dark
And an angel be bartered for gold
No wonder the heart should fail.
And heavenly purpose fade;
The eye grow dim. and the cheek grow pale,
When none stand ready to aid
No wonder the lairs and cradles of sin
So many poor victims should hold,
While the good are content to worship their
God,
And the rich to Worship their gold
Move patiently, o earth !
Till mercy's wandering dove
Shall fly to the rosy realm of its birth,
And rest in the bosom of love.
Move patiently on till the Crucifed
Shall gather HIS radiant crown
From the lowly flowers and bleeding hearts
That the world has trampled down

Womens and Mems Quarrels.

Two men were walking down
the street in Detroit, the Free
Press says, arm in arm, followed
by two dogs. The men were talk
ing apparently, about woman,
which is an unusual thing, for,
says one of them: Eyes, by
George, Pm tired hearing about
that fuss; every time | go home
it's digned into my ears till | wish
l was in the Sandwich islands, or
my wife was, or something"
Then the other man said that
he Ibid think that women would
quarrel over the most foolish
things one ever heard of, and he
was glad that men did not allow
such trivial affairs to disturb their
friendships as women did, and in
fact"-
There arose a chorus of growls
and yells in the rear, and both
men turned round quickly to see
what was the matter, and saw
their respective dogs engaged in
a tussle, and went right back to
part them. There was a good
deal Of dust and dog, swearing,
and much excitement, and the
ragged edge of crowd began to
appear, when the two owners
glided in and jawed at the dogs,
and, as they did not have the de-
sired effect, possessed themselves
of each dogs tail, and tugged and
pulled for dear life. But the lar
ger dog had locked his hold on
the other, and had shut his eyes
on outer things, and didn't car a
cent how either the world or his
tail wagged, so long as he could
hold on, and hold on he did. Then
the owner of the other dog forgot
himself, and gave the big one a
kick, and red d-nosed gentleman
in the crowd, who sported a pair
of bed-ticking pants, said if any
one kicked dog of his like that,
he'd kick him; and some one ask
ed him "what business it was of
his" and he said he. guessed he
had some rights as spectator"
"Get your dog off," says the
owner of the smaller dog.
"Get him off yonrself," answer.
ed the other.
"Blast him will :" said the
first, and he proceeded to deposit
sundry resounding kicks in the
animals ribs, whereupon the ow-
ner of the animal interfered, and
said "no gentleman would kick a
dog like that" and the man with
the bed ticking pants said "that
was So" Then the other man
wanted to know "who was no gen.
tleman?" and the man of the big
dog said "he was" and the other
said he could click him if be was;"
and there's no telling what might
have happened if a brave police
man hadn't arrived and cracked
the dogs over the head, which
had the effect of settling the fight
all round very summarily. The
two men haven't spoken since,
but it's supposed that their opin-
ions are the same as to the trivial
ty of women's quarrels.

A Good Story and True.

The Pittsburg Leader tells of
that venerable judicial mill, Judge
Humphreys. The other day.
holding the Circuit Court, old
Pump grew weary of the endless
tongues of the attorneys, and call
to bailiff, said huskily.
go over to the HOle-in-the'
Wall and bring me drink of
whisky"
The baiIiff disappeared and re-
appeared shortly with an inch
and half of corn juice in a glass
enough for any Christian man,
but not sufficiency for an Ala
bama judiciary system.
"Go back" trebled the judge,
''go back and tell Hagerty to send
me a drink-a drink of whisky.
The bailiff disappeared again,
and reappeared the second time
with a glass brimming full.
"Ahv said the wearer of erm-
inc, "that now is a drink. But
what did he say?"
"Oh, he didn't say anything
your Honor" answered the bailitf
blushing.
"Oh. yes, he must have made
remark; and now what did he
say?"
"Well, 1 don't like to tell you,
sab, your Honor"
"Go on and tell me exactly
what he said;" demanded old
Pump.
"Well. sab. your Honor. he
said. Il sent him Il drink of whis-
ky at first; [ didn't know that the
old fool wanted to take a bath y"
Hem, hem, go on with the ex-
animation of your Witness" sigh
ed the judge to the attorney for
the plaintiff, and the bailiff skunk
into the back room and butted his
head against the wall till he
knocked a dollars worth of plas-
ter off.

planted a peach orchard, writes
M. Siroy, of the society of hOrti-
culture and the trees grew well
and strongly. They had just
commenced to bud when they
were Invaded by the curculio
(pulgon), which insects were fol-
lowed, as frequently happens. by
ants. Having cut some tomatoes,
the idea ocured to me that, by
putting some ofthe leaves around
the trunks of the trees, l might
preserve them from the rays of
the sun, which where powerful.
My surprise was great upon the
following morning to find the
trees entirely free from their ene-
mics, not one remaining except
here and there where q curled
leaf prevented the tomato from
exercising its influence. These
leaves carefully unrolled, plac-
ing upon them fresh ones from the
vine, with the result of banishing
the last insect and enabling the
trees to grow with luXurience.
Wishing to carry still further my
experiment, l stepped in water
some fresh leaves of the tomato.
and sprinkled with this infusion
other plants, roses and oranges.
In two days these were also free,
from innumerable insects which
covered them, and [ felt sure that
had used the same means with
my melon patch | should have
met with the same result. l
therefore deem it a duty l owe to
the society of horticulture to make
known this singular and useful
property of the tomato leaves,

est accident.

Will go far 10 Complete Til
den's Success.

The Springfield (Massachusetts)
Republican, which supports Hayes,
evidently feels somewhat disposed
to give up the fight since the ap-
pearance Of Governor Tilden's let
ter on the rebel claims. In COM
menting upon the letter it says:
Tilden has played his last card.
The Republicans have been calling
for the last week for his opinions
and purposes on the Southern
question, and particularly on the
rebel claims, and he has promptly
given it to them and the country.
We think now the former would
rather not have had it, but the nom
partisan public will rejoice over it.
His letter fairly covers the whole
ground and settles all phases of the
Southern question, so far as he, as
President, or his administration is
concerned. 1t will be a relief to
many an honest-doubting citizen.
1t will remove the objections of
many voters to his election, it will
soften the sorrow Of others at his
success, and 10 aoiW go far to COM
ftete that success.

Gov. Hendricks Views ON War
Claims.

Gov. Hendricks was interviewed
at Indianapolis in regard to South
ern claims. He said:
ain respect to Southern claims, I
had supposed that my views were
plainly expressed in my speech
made in tho State House yard soon
after our election, in which l en-
phatically approved of the veto of
all bills which were likely to furnish
dangerous precedents which were
passed when the Republicans had
absolute control of both branches
Of Congress. ! fully concur in the
views expressed by Gov. Tilden in
his letter which appeared yester-
day. His views were admirably
expressed, and / am gratified that
an opportunity was presented to
make his reasons on that subject
public. ! think his letter will be
very satisfactory to the people of
the country, and prevent the pub
lie mind from being misled."

lation of Congress. These claims
have become stale and are often
tainted with fraud. They are near
ly always owned, in whole or In
part, by claim agents, by speculs-
tors or lobbyists, who have no
equity against taxpayers or the
public. They should in all cases
be scrutinized with jealous care.
Calamities to individuals which
were inflicted by the war are, for
the most part, irreparable. The
government cannot call to life
million of our youth who went to
untimely graves, nor compensate
sufferings or sorrow of their rela-
tives or friends. 1t cannot read
just between individuals, burdens
Of taxation hitherto borne, or of
debt incurred to sustain the gov
eminent, which are yet to be paid.
1t cannot apportion anew among
our citizens damages or losses Incl
dent to military operations, or re-
sulting in every variety of form
from its measures for maintaining
its own existence. 1t has no safe
general rule but to let bygones be
byeones, to turn from the dead past |
On the new and better future, and |
On the basis to assure peace, recon-
and fraternity between all
sections, classes, and races of our
people; to the end that all springs
If our productive industries may

The Grand Rapids Times thus
spoke Of the speech Of Blaine at
that city:
We desire to see Hayes and
Wheeler elected, but we fear that
such doctrines as Mr.. Blaine pro-
mulgates in his jaunting tour will
be the cause Of their defe3t, IL they
are defeated. We looked to Mr..
Blaine, the acknowledged leader Of
the Republican party, for some en-
couragement, some originality, some
grand ideas Of Republican govern
ment and political economy, some
promise Of relief to the depressed
state Of affairs that now exist in
this country; we hoped that he
would not insist upon resumption
in 1879, whether the country was
ripe for it or not; we confidently
expected, since he is stamping the
West for Hayes and Wheeler, that
be would be able TO furnish us with
some idea Of what these gentlemen
will do when elected. But we were |
disappointed. He had not word |
II encouragement to his thousands
Il listeners, not q hope for better
lines did he express; not q word
n favor Of civil service reform
nd he gave us no sort Of an idea
Alpena weekly argus. [volume] (Alpena, Mich.) 1871-1893, 1876-11-01

OF which we might expect should
Hayes be successful next month.
He gave no hint nor manifested
any sign Of what course Mr.. Hayes
would pursue towards the South,
no idea Of what form of reconstruc-
ton would be inaugurated by him,
that is so sadly needed in the South
ern States, not a word upon any of
these important issues. In fact,
he perfectly ignored Mr.. Hayes,
and omitted to once mention his
name during either of his speeches.
Inside of touching these questions
be occupied the entire evening with
abusing Samuel ]. Tilden and the
Democratic party. He reveled in
a carnival of war, and again fought
the battle of the rebellion. He
painted a false picture of the con-
dition Of the country and held it
up to his audience to admire. He
urged that the South were only
waiting an opportunity to again
rebel; that if a Democratic Presi-
dent should be elected, the South
ern claims and the rebel debt would
be paid; that the Democrats Of
the South had killed more Repub-
licans, because they were Republi-
cans, than had fallen in any three
OF the bloodiest engagements of
the war.
And with this kind of argument
he insulted his audience, injured
the cause Of Republicanism and
endangered the prospects of our
admirable candidate for the Presi-
dency. For this reason we felt
called upon, as faithful reporter,
to criticise his remarks. 1t was a
harangue-an effort to excite hate
and and enkindle the prejudice
against the South that was long |
since buried.
