Died.

BLANCHARD-In Aspinwall, U. s. c., Sunday,
oct, list Mrs. Alta (Boyce) Blanchard, aged
"a years.
Itis with feelings of sorrow that make
the above announcement, sorrow for those
who far away will be 40 suddenly shocked
at the death of one who, when last they
heard from her, received letters containing
bright expectations for the future. The
decease of Mrs. Blanchard was also en-
tirely unexpected by the little circle of
foreign residents of this place who, in the
short time that she had been here, had
learned to appreciate her sterling qualities
as q woman, wife and mother, and
who sincerely sympathize with the stricken
husband and daughter. From the date of
her arrival here until the day she was taken
sick, Mrs. Il. had enjoyed perfect health
and had frequently remarked to the writer
that she though che should gain in flesh
and spirits, and seemed as one of those
who are always benefited by resi-
dence in this place. Tuesday the 10th of
September, in company with two others,
she visited Panama remaining there until
the next day. After doing some shopping

the ruins in the city and other points of in
terest. Arriving homo she complained of
being rather exhausted, and of suffering
from severe headache. Being en-
dowed with an indomiiable will she
did not give up for two days when she was
obliged to take to her bed from which Ike
never arose. Everything that could be done
was done for her, but several days before her
death it became evident that nothing could
save her, and on one of those beautiful Sab
bath days, such as We enjoy in the tropics
just as the sun was sinking below the wa
tiers of the "Carribiap," without struggle
or sigh, she breathed her last, lend the
spirit returned to the God who gave it."
So quiet and peaceful was her deccase that
it seemed more like lying down to sleep
than death. The funeral was attended
from the church Monday morning, the
beautiful Episcopal service being read by
Capt. s. T. Griffin OF the s. S. Colon" on
which ship she came to this place. Her re-
mains were conveyed to Mt. Hope cemetery
being followed to their last resting place
| by the foreign population of Aspnwall
Here she rests in a beautiful knoll under
the shadow of the cocoa and palm, far
from home and friends, but we have the
assurance that she "had fought a good
| fight, had kept the faith. and for her 10 laid
up crown which the Lord her God shall
bestow on her at the last day."

THE COLoRpO VICTORY.

The Denver (Col.) "Nc,cs" of the 10.h
inst, Gays There is no longer the shadow
of doubt not only that we have made a
clean sweep of the state, but that the re-
publican majority is fully 1900 at the head
of the ticket, and much more on the legs-
lative vote by counties. These figures in
cude all but two COUNTIES, one of which is
certainly republican and the other doubtful
The returns from these counties, therefore,
cann1t possibly reduce our majority, and
democrats themselves now concede that
they have becn mieled by false hopes Of
success in counties which have gone re-
publican instead of democratic.
The San Juan region has dresdfully dis.
appointed them, and 80 have Costlla and
Coneios counties. They failed signally,
however. and this combined with their bad
luck in the San Juan counties to change
the result from that on which their strong
hopes were founded. But had they carried
the six southwestern counties by no larger
maiori,ies than could have been figured out
of the actual vote, they would still have
been left behind in the race without fc-
| itious aid from some democratic quarter.
| The result of the legislative contest is still
more gratifying. We have nineteen out of
| twenty.six senators, and thirty-onc repre-
| sent 4tlves in house OF forty mine, with a

This jusnties those confident predictions

1t is reported from Washington that,
since the surrender of Tweed, informal ne
gotiations hav9 been entered upon with
Spain looking toward an extradition treaty
with that county. What's the use ? We
have no estradition treaty with Spain, and
she readily surrenders criminals on our de-
mand, without waiting to ascertain whether
any crime has been committed, or, even,
Whether the person surrendered is tho ont
we want or not. We have an exlraditior
treaty with Great Britain, and cannot Sc
cure the surrender of criminal where tic
proof of the crime and of identity are com
plete. Better try 10 more experiments.

for it now, so he called Ed to him and
whispered in his ear. Ed was like to
burst with suppressed laughter, but he
beckOned to his wife to draw up; and,
after saying something to her, he help
ed the widow out of Bills buggy and
into his, and the two women went on,
leaving the men behind. Bill lost no
time in arranging his toilet as best he
could, and then with great persuasion
Ed got him to 60 home with him, and
hunting up slippers and socks, and
getting him washed and eombed, had
him quite presentable when the ladies
arrived. l need not tell you how the
story was all wormed out of Bashful
Bill, and how they all laughed as they
sat around the tea-table that night, but
will conclude by saying thai they went
to the show together, and Bill has no
fear of Gus SOckrider now.
This is the story of Bill and the Wild
ow, just as 1 had it from Ed Wilbur,
and if there is anything unsatisfactory
about it, ask him.

A Word About Marriage

A physician writes the following
sensible advice; My profession has
thrown me among women Of all classes,
and my experience has taught me that
God never gave man a greater proof Of
his love than to place woman here
with him. My advice is: Go propose
to the most sensible girl you know. If
she says yes, tell her how much your
income is, from what source derived,
and tell her you viii divide the last
shilling with her, and love her with
all your heart in the bargain. My
word for it, she will live within your
income, and to your last hour you will
regret that you did not marry sooner.
Gentlemen, do not worry about femi-
nine extravigance and feminine un-
truth. Just you be true to her, love
her sincerely, and throw it up to her
frequently, and more fond, foolish
slave you viii never meet anywhere.
You won't deserve her, I know, but
she will never see it. Now throw
aside pride and selfishness and see what
will come of it.

An Evening Thought.

The dream of existence is blissful and
bright
In the radiant morning of youth,
When Hope has no cloud to o ershadow
her light.
And friendship is hallowed by truth;
When love is all pure as a calm summer
stream
That slumb'ring mid flowerets doth lie,
Rejecting the brightness of Heavens
own beam,
And wearing the tinge of the sky.
How changed is the vision as time hur-
ries on,
And brings the decline of youths day,
Then the sunbeams from hopes fairy
landscape are gone,
Then friendship has faded away.
And then like a Stream which the wind
spirit wakes
Is the once holy fountain of love;
Then its troubled and wandering wave
only takes
The hue of the storm-cloud above.
lis well. since we're speeding away to
the tomb,
That youths fairy pleasures should flee,
For could they return all their earlier
bloom,
Too dear to our heart would they he.
And It's well. since the souls lasting
home is not here
That the love ofits springtime should die.
For could it still cherish an Ellen so
dear.
'Twould forget for its Heaven, to sigh.
EvALINE.

either issue more paper currency or
Immediately come to a hard money
currency would be less hurtful than
the uncertainty and distrust which
have prevailed for several years.
"The policy here suggested would
conciliate all parties. 1t would pro-
vide for specie payments Immediately,
without contracting or charging the
volme of the currency. 1t would re-
lease and put into circulation nearly
all the gold now in the treasury, and
lessen taxation by the amount of the
interest on the bonds that gold would
purchase.
at would lessen the cost of our i'm
ports by more than fourteen per cent,
or by the value of the present premi-
um on gold 1t would enlarge our
exports by cheaPening the cost of all
the imported materials, employed in
our manufactures, and enabling us
to compete with Europe ID the markets
of the world.
cit would provide for a more rapid
liquidation of the national debt by IN
creasing both production and revenue,
and by the annual increase of the paper
circulation, in proportion to the increase
of the population. Above all, it
would, by restoring confidence, stir
into activity the stagnant of the eoun-
try, and give productive employment
to thousands who now starve, or beg
or steal, for lack Of work.
al have said nothing about the con-
stitutiOnal power Of the treasury to give
the nation a paper currency. Owing
to the times Of disorder, the logic Of
events took that question away from
politicians and judges. Commercial
nations will have paper currency.
Our greenbacks constitute the best
that has ever been devised. Whether
banks should be allowed to issue cir
culating notes or not, depends upon
the power they possess over our peO-
pie. Ifthe nation can get the bankers
to let go their hold upon its throat, I
see no reason why we should tax our
selves annually, from twenty to Fifty
millions of dollars, for the use of their
notes when the nation issues not only
a better currency but the very cur
reney which alone makes the bank
notes Of value. The policy here rec
commended, Is that by which Stephen
Girard kept his bank notes in eircula-
ton. He provided means for their
redemption, and convinced all that be
could, and would redeem them. Then
no one wanted them redeemed, though
other banks ard bankers were COM
PEELED to suspend.
alt is that by which large landhol-
ders uphold their credit and enhance
the value Of their estates. They mort
gage their estates for enough money
to make them productive. Then let
the nation wisely use its credit for its
own relief"

Bill and the Widow.

w lie, SAID Ed wilbur one morn
ing as he sat stirring his coffee with
one hand and holding a plum-cake on
knee with the other and looked across
the table into the bright eyes of his lit.
tie wife, wouldn't it be a good joke
to get bachelor Bill Smiley to take
Widow Watson to the circus next
week ?"
You can't do it, Ed, he won't ask
her, he is SO awful shy. Why, he
came by here the other morning when
l was hanging out the clothes, and he
looked over the fence and spoke, but
when | shook out a night gown he
blushed like girl and went away"
81 think can manage it, said Ed,
but I'll have to lie just a little. But
then it wouldn't be much harm under
the circumstances, for know she likes
him, and he don't dislike her; but just
as you say, he is so shy. I'll just go
over to his place to borrow some bags
of him, and if don't bag him before 1
come back, don't kiss me for a week,
Nellie"
Sosaying, Ed started, and while he
is moving the fields we will take a look
at Bill Smiley. He was rather a good
looking fellow, though his hair and
whiskers showed some gray hairs, and
he had got in set of false teeth. But
every one said he was good soul, and
so he was. He had as good a hundred
acre farm as any in Norwich, with a
new house and everything comfortable,
and if he wanted wife, many girl
would have jumped at the chance like
rooster on grasshopper. But Bill
was so bashful-always was-and when
Susan Sherrybottle, whom he was so
sweet on, though he never said "boo ."
to her, got married to old Watson, he
just drew his head in like a mud-turtle
into her shell, and there was no getting
him out again, though it had been no
ticed that since Susan had become
widow, he paid more attention to his
clothes, and had been very regular in
his attendance at the church the fair
widow attended.
But here comes Ed Wilbur.
"Good morning, Mr.. Smiley"
"Good morning, Mr.. Wilbur,
What's the news your way?"
ooh, nothing particular, that 1
know Of" said Ed, "only the show,
that every body is talking about, and
everybody and his girl are going, too.
l was over to old Sockrider's last night,
and see his son Gus has got a new
buggy, and was scrubbing up his har-
ness, and he's got that white-faced colt
of his as slick as seal. l understand
he thinks of taking Widow Watson to
the show. He's been hanging around
there good deal of late, but I'd Just
like to cut him out, l would. Susan
is nice little woman, and deserves
better man than that young pup of a
fellow, though would not blame her
much either if she takes him, for she
must be dreadful lonesome, and then
she has to let her farm out on shares,
and it isn't half worked, and no one
else seems to have the spunk to speak
up to her. BY jingol if l were sim
gle man, I'd show you trick or two
So saying, Ed borrowed some bags
and started around the corner of the
barn, where he had left Bill sweeping,
and put his ear to not-hole and listen
ed, knowing the bachelor had habit
of talking to himself when anything
worried him.

whatever effect il ma5 have upon the jury,
was certainly not without interest to the rest
Of mankind. Tho distinguished advocate

say an casy-hand, and presented picture
unparalleled in any gallery of legal celebrities
in the world. In matters OF Laws learning Mr..
Field ranks with the first men of his calling
"thc upper ten thousand rs he modcstly inti-
mates; ard if his brethren have any fault TO
find with him it is that he is too smart for
Them and has made a code of procedure which
lust lays them all ont. Probably there is not a
finer man living than Mr.. Ficld,-nOr a more
unjustly prosecuted man. unless il he his client.
Aud Vet it is so easy 10 impose upon Nh.
Field! lie had gone on defending Mr.. Tweed
through all kinds of suits, and arguing all
enrls of motions for him in the courts, and
putting up all manner Of tricks TO stayc Off n
trial, getting pay, in the innocence of his
heart, not from Tweed at all. but from
Twceds friends ." never said he, "ro-
cciycd dollar in my life from Tweed
But one day the press began TO complain that

TO the friends, and he said, Look here; is
" this your own money that | am getting, or
ais it Twccd'sG and when they told him
that il was not their own, you never saw "A man

truth fell upon him like thunderbolt. Probably
he did not realize it al first, but it came home
10 him after q while, for " since Tweed went
away nc says, 81 have never received q
dollar from any source whatever, and do
"not know whether l ever shall receive an

1t is interesting to know the chdIike traits
of Mr. Fields character; but we cannot see
that he has met the objections which have
been made 20 his conduct, not merely in the
press, but in those very circles OF society 10
which he appeals for his vindication.
