Richmond Wa } State

Many years ago young gentleman OF
Manchester, of good character and hon
orable connections had the misfortune
to fall out with his wife-a beautiful
girl of only eighteen summers. He
speedily arranged his business affairs,
and without formalitv took an abrupt
leave of his wife and a sweet little babe.
He travelled far and fingered long in
many strange lands, without cOmmu-
nicating intelligence of his whereabouts.
and without knowing or caring to know,
the fate of his dear ones at home In
the meantime the little one had passed
away, and the wife broken hearted and
disconsolate, kept the faith she had
pledged at the altar. Many years had
elapsed since her truant husband had
left her, and in all that time it was her
habit TO visit the grave Of her dead in
FAINT with the same deep mourning
dress she had donned the day of its
burial A few evenings ago it so
CHANGED that fate brought her husband
back to this city. who, Immediately upon
his arrival sought out the little grave,
where by the dim twilight he encoun-
tered strange figure in black. A heavy
veil hid the face; but his face was open
and clear and seemingly unaltered.
The discovery of others identity was
but moments time-a groan-a
strickland husband and wife firmly
clasped in loving embrace.
Cassius M. Clay.
Cassius M. Clay, formerly United
States Minister to Russia, whose name
has lately been in the papers in connec-
ton with some little informally in the
way of disposing Of disagreeable
fellow-ctizen, is said to be the owner of
fine estate of 1000 acres in Kentucky,
in the centre of which stands stately
mansion. He has splendid library
and many excellent paintings. In this
home General Clay is spending his old
age with his adopted son, an intelligent
young Russian, for companion. This
old Abolitionist now holds the most
gloomy opinions as to the condition and
the prospects of the colored race. He
says that of those freed by him many
years ago none turned out we'll He
adds that the colored people are rapidly
decreasing in numbers, and must finally
become extinct. Mr.. Clay is now sixty
seven years of age. He entered the
Kentucky legislature in 1885, and
served several years. In 1915 he be-
gan to edit The True american, an anti
slavery paper, published in Lexington,
Kentucky, encountered violent oppo-
sition, and defended himself courage
ously against the mob in several bloody
conflicts Tn 1851 he was g. general of
volunteers; in 1868 he was appointed
Minister to Russia, which position he
held six years. His writings and speech
es were edited and published by Horace
Greeley in 1848.

Dangerous BedfellOW.

The rattlesnake is very susceptible to
the cold, a fact which often makes him
an unwelconne companion to those
camping out on the plains. For he
will at night crawl into a tent and seek
a comfortable place in the bedding or
horse blanket.
An officer in command of an explor-
ing expedition camped, one night, on
the Nueces River, Texas. Having
slept for many nights without changing
his dress, he determined to sleep as
gentleman, and arrayed himself in a
night-shirt.
He fell asleep, and was partially
awakened by cold sensation down his
back. Thinking, in his seml-uncon-
scious condition, it was rain, he moved
his position, and again slept. A second
and a third time he was awakened by
similar cold sensation. On the third
rousing, he saw that the moon was shin
ing, and was wondering where the rain
could come from, when he felt cold,
clammy sensation, as if snake was
fitting itself against his spine.
With yell, he sprang tie his feet,
rushed from the tent, bursting out the
whole front. A large "rattler" fell
from the folds of his shirt, outside of
the tent, where it was found and killed.
The officer declared that no money
would tempt HIM to again sleep in
camp in night-shirt.

CHEMICALLY pure glycerine, free
from water, is recommended as lubrl-
cant for small machines, and machinery
parts where common oils and fats turn
acid or hard, and SO clog or smear.
Glycerine is of particular suitability
for sewing machines, as any accident
with it is of less consequence than with
oils which soon become dirty.

He thus detail, a few OF his trials dur

interests; have tried TO expose fraudu.
lent transactions oil certain individuals
who have operated in a manner most
detrimental to the camp; have paid
our just debts; have lost many a dol

ors; have been whacked owe the head
with a six shooter; been threatened
with assassination, If we didn't let up

paid ten to twenty per cen more for
goods than anybody else; done enough
to satisfy our W conscience in regard
to public enterprises; through our ex-
ertions and influence have seen other
get rich, and experienced their ingrati-
tude, and yet we are not discouraged.

THIS truthful statement of an i'm
portant question is from the RerciIe:
IAN extra session to reduce the rate Of
State taxation is not necessary just
now; but the fact remains all the
same, that the rate is higher than the
needs Of the State demand, and I hat
there should be a material reduction
in it by the next Legislature. Yet
these advocates of high lakes claim tn
be the friends of the people, and are
willing that the poor man shall be
overtaxed SO long as the rich men are
cinched. Cinch capital. especially
mining capital. is a rallying cry with
them. Corner them down, and their
argument is condensed into that Prin
ciple."

The Municipal Commission.

We print two communications on this
subject from sources which have claim to
public attention. One Of them is from Mr.
Simon Sterne, who was one of the most in
auential members Of the Municipal Com
mission and was leading speaker at the
late meeting. In spite of Mr.. Sterne's ex-
planation we continue to think some of his
expressions were extravagant and injudi-
cious, tending to repel q large class whose
support is indispensable to the success OF
the measure. 1t does not follow because a
man is kept poor all his life by an early
marriage and the wants Of growing family
that it is fair to denounce him either
as an "incorrigible hummer" or "hopeless
pauper." The other letter which we pub
lish is from Mr.. Wheeler II. Peckham, who
deprecates passion or sentiment in this
discussion, and takes pains to soothe the
pride Of the class whom the amendment
would disfranchisc. Mr.. Peckham's defer
entail and complimentary expressions are
great deal moro persuasive than opprobri-
Gus epithets. The arguments of both of
these jealous gentlemen aro we'll fitted to
convince property holders, and if the de-
cision rested in the hands Of this class the
amendment might be adopted. But mas
much rs its fate must be decided by the
same universal suffrage which it seeks to
abridgo we think it has no chance The
democratic organization in this State is al
ready committed against it, and the repub-
lican organization turns away from it as
measure too unpopular for party indorse-
ment.
But. it is asked, why not put it in the way
of submission to the people in the election
of 1878? What harm can it do to let the
people vote on it? The answer is that,
with the forcgone certainty that they will
reject it, it blocks practicable municipal
reform. The necessity for such reform is
urgent, imperative. Every years postpone
ment entails heavy loss upon tho city.
This commission scheme has lain as dog
in the manger ever since tho election OF
Governor Tilden. Governor Tilden dis
couraged legislative action for the relief of
the city hy the first Legislature which met
after his Inauguration on the ground
that he wanted q commission to franc
comprehensive plan. The authority
he asked was given him, but he did not ap-
point the commission until long after that
Legislature had adjourned. The conse-
quence was that it did not report in season
Tor action by the next Legislature, and

The Coaching Parade.

Tomorrow the Coaching Club will have
its autumn parade, and the neighborhood of
Madison square will be enlivened with the
brilliant show Of dashing teams and beauti-
iul vehicles that is the great feature of this
event. There will be q comparatively small
number of turnouts on the ground, as many
owners are. it appears, absent from the city
but there will be enough to constitute an
exceedingly fine display for all lovers OF
this revived feature OF the glories Of the
road as well rs tor the judicious public
that has an eye for fine horsefesh and likes
to see it handsomely handled Coaching
has. we hope, really become o permanent
institution with us In every COM
munity where there is great &C
cumulated wealth there will grow up
or be introduced from abroad all sorts of
"fancies' and many forms Of what fat
witted people call extravagance-that is,
processes by which money is put in circula-
tion and wealth sometimes changes hands.
Some rich men take to art, some to music,
q few here and there to microscopes and
chemistry, many to literature and biblio-
mania and many to the more active delights
Of the sportsman. Out Of all this variety
comes the light and shade Of society and q
not inconsiderable activity in the commerce
that supplies the wants Of these various
tastes They combine many elegant tastes
in one pursuit who give their enthusiasm to
coaching, for the coaches are veritable works
OF art the rumble of the wheels on good
road is the finest Of music to nice ear, and
to handle the reins over q four-in-hand is
an exhilarating and manly sport.

Return OF Mr. Tilden.

The late democratic candidate for the Pres
idency, who received nearly three hundred
thousand more popular votes than his sue
cessful competitor. reached home yesterday
in the Scythia after pleasant tour OF fseveral
months in Europe. He returns in excellent
health, and we shall be much mistaken if
his hand IS not again felt in the politics OF
the State and the country. During his abb
sence great deal has happened which he
did not expect. John Kelly has taken the
democratic organization OF the State out of
the hands of his iriends-a fact which must
mortify and annoy him; but, ON the other
hand, Mr.. Hayes has been defeated
in his own State and is at log
gerheads with his own party in Con-
gress, and Mr.. Tilden is too sagacious
and experienced politician not to see what
q crippling effect this republican opposition
must have on the President Mr.. Tilden is
not such n novice as to swear his heart on
his sleeve for DAVIS to peck at, and it will
be some time before he betrays any sign of
the methods by which he intends to act.
But he finds a condition Of things in which
it is not possible that he should be idle.
Everything in our recent politics portends
q great democratic victory in 1880, and for
the next three years all Mr.. Tlden's energy
and astuteness will be strained to secure
him the control Of the next Democratic
National Convention. It is essential to
the success Of these endeavors that he
should regain his former mastery Of
the democratic organization in this
State. We do not advise Mr.. John Kelly to
look out for squalls, for his danger is not
likely to come from such quarter that any
watching Of the political weather will help
him. He is a great deal more likely to find
that his ship has been scuttled in mid
ocean, for MI. Tilden's tactics are not of the
boisterous, ostentatious sort. Only man
as skilful and secretive as himself would be
capable Of getting on his trail. Mr.. Kelly
may awake some fine morning and find that
his craft is sinking without knowing what
had hit it. 1--WE commend him to prudent
husbandry Of his resources"
