was waiting for my paper in small
room that constitutes at once the sancium

apartment Of q daily.
About thirty boys, from the age of eight
to fourteen, were there awaiting the issue
Of that afternoons dnily--cnrrier boys
who were about M noisy and disagreeablc
as such lads usually are. Their racket in
part, but more the foul odor OF the 70 ON,
had driven the editor from his deck into
the street, where he put IN his ovcrcoat
which he had hastily taken M he went,
and then lie proceeded on some errand
The boys were evidently under some re-
straint and were trying not to make too
much noise; but occasionally large san

lift warning finger and say, looking at
some more boisterous than the rest, "Come,
come, none of thatW
The room was small, n hot FIRE was roaring
in the coal stove, the boys were ns warmly
clad rs their circumstances would admit,
as they expected momentarily to hear the
sigma! given for them to get their papers,
and the uncomfortable warmth, no grateful
in the windy street, made them uneasy and
easily disturbed.
A short, thick-pet, round-fOced, well.kept
but peevish gentleman behind his desk,
considerably upset in his cquanimity, II
not discommoded by tho noise aud con-
fusion, hearing the sandy-visngcd man re-
effect, looked up quickly, satisfied himself
which made the most noise. and taking
him roughly by the collar put him savage

don't you come back again tonight"
II was the lame hunch-back. The ner-
vous gentleman then glared threnteninsly
at the other boys, now whist as mice, growl-

After time, having occasion to go to the
door again, he spicd Tiunchy crouchcd in

We have fallen upon strange times.
speak now in n political sensc, though the
times nre singular in other respects.
The country has elected, ms Republicans
say, one of the radical members OF that
party to the Presidency OF this great people.
The Democrats declare that he reached the
position through fraud.
He that was 40 recently plain Governor
ITnyes-he is just ns plain sitting in the
wonderful White IIouse-has never been
charged with any want of loyalty to the
party that saved the Republic when her
foes had her by the throat. His repeated
election TO the highest position in his own
State proves his integrity and faithfulncss
to his party.
But what a course he seems to have
marked ont for his feet What motive
prompts him to hold the vc-brancl TO
the frc-eaters of the sullen South? Were
he Ben. Butler, or Simon Cameron,
we would answer, wily-policy but his
past history would cause such reply 10
freeze on our lips-we cannot candidly
charge so unpatriotic motive TO President
Hayes. Well, then, what has formed his
conciliatory scheme?
We must believe that he aims to accom-
plish, within his party, what the lamented
Horace Greeley strove to do by leaving it
abandoning n political organization OF

seeks to bridge over, and eventually fill,
the yawning chasm so long in sad existence
