A CHOOSING.
BY JANET TUCKEY,

BY JANET TUCKEY.
1.-The child is mine" said the Daylight,
For she is most like me
So get thee hence, thou gray Night,
We've naught to do with thee
Her eyes are blue as my Skies
Her locks are like the sun;
She shall but sleep meath thy skies,
When my glad hours are done.''
Not so,'' then speke the Nighttime,
''She's fair as is my moon;
And her voice is like the iove-rhyme
by own bird sings in June;
Her eyes are Ike the star-gems
Set far above the sun;
And her breath is sweet as the blossoms
That open when thou art gone.''
Choose thou me-" said the Daylight,
For all the world is mine
The birds sing IL my gay light
Like gold the waters shine
And mine are all the best flowers
That over the whole world grow;
And mine are ali the blithe hours
Wherein men come and co.
NAY, be thou mine,' said the Mig ht-time,
''ror too can give thee gold;
Paler indeed is my bright time,
Fainter, and somewhat cold:
But the lover loves my fay-light
With Inc the poet sings best;
While the toiling children of Daylight
Can use me but for rest
Then she answered: 'While flowers sunlit,
While the birds and the hunming-bee,
And the eyes OF playmates fun-iit,
Are joys enough for me
While burdens are light for bearing,
While sorrow is 10th to stay
So long, beyond all comparing,
will love thee best, o Day!
But, when I shall find q gladi1e55
To all but myself unknown;
And when there shall come Z sadness
needs must endure alone;
When grief is too great for weeping
When bliss cannot bear the light
'Tis then while the rest are sleeping,
That I'll watch with thee, Night -

CHARLES DICKENS, when coming once
through France by rail, from Marseil-
les to Paris made very abortive at
tempt at a practical joke. At Lyons a
quarter of an hour was allowed for din
ing, and Dickens fooled the passengers
cat OF their dinner by collecting around
him all the walters, and SO confusing
them by garbled French, English and
italian, that by the time they had ex-
tricated themselves from the loudly
querrulous Englishman, who pretended

the bell was changing for call aboard. )"

to hasten the conversation, asked
Young man if he had never felt deep

doctor called it cholera morbus, and
charged him 81 visit.

Coz. OLE C. JOHNSON, of Belo1t, ex-
Commissioner of immigration, is again
a candidate for position on the Repub-
hcan state ticket-at least so we Judge
from an article in the Beloit Free Press,
which urges his claims, not only as
worthy citizen, but representative of
the Scandinavians. 1t is quite probable
that others will be presented as repre-
sentatives of this nationality. We agree
with the Wisconsin when it says this
question of nationality ought never to
be considered in selecting men for public
position. The only question should be,
Is he eminently fit for the place and is
he the best available mana The fact
that man is a native American, or
German or Norwegian, or of any 9th
er nationality, ought not to give him
any title to the consideration of his fell
low citizens which he would not have
outside of that. The sooner this fact
be recognized and acted upon by politi-
cal conventions, the better viii it be fer
the country and public service. There
has been altogether too much nationality
and sectionalism in state and nation. A
man is q man whether lie be born on
the other side of the Alantic CT on this
whether he live III one part of the
state or another.

The statement is freely made in the
State papers that at the convention two
years ago an agreement was made be-
tween Hon. Harrison Ludington and
Hon. W. E.Smith, OF their friends acting
for them, whereby the latter withdrew
as candidate for governor upon con-
dition that Ludington would not be can
didate against him two years later. So
far as this is used as reason for the
nomination of Mr.. Smith, it does not
appear that it possesses any force; it can
scarcely be the duty of the Republican
party to execute such bargain. But
if Gov. Ludington made a promise
to this effect, either personally or
through friends authorized to speak for
him-and the Sentinel oes not profess
to have any knowledge on that subject
and if he indicates any disposition to
violate it, it might become the duty of
the Republican State Convention, to
prompt his sense of personal honor.

THE Chicago Bar Association has en-
tered its emphatic protest against the
selection of man from the South to
succeed Senator Davis as member of
the Supreme Court. The Association
does not take action in favor of or
against any particular candidate for
judicial honors, but simply as conten-
ding for "home rule" The interests of
the people are largely intrusted to the
keeping of the Judiciary. 1t is impor-
tant that a Judge should understand
the local laws and customs as well as the
Federal and common law. Judge Davis
administered justice with consummate
ability, not simply because he has re-
markably good judgement and an abso-
lutte genius for its administration, but
because he knew the people, institutions
ETC., of his circuit. The Chicago Jour-
nal thinks the Judge should be selected
from either Illinois, Indiana or Wiscon-
sin, which is the sentiment of our peo-
f,ie

WHEN Won Moltke returned to Hol-
stein, after recognizing the Turkish army,
he found living there with his sister
who had married Mr.. Butte, an English
mana young girl between Is and Is,
daughter Of Mr.. Bute's first marriage.
The pretty little girl loved already, be-
fore seeing him, the soldier who had
sent from the Orient such interesting
letters TO his sister. AS for Won Moltke
he had until then seen in woman only
a being constantly interfering with the
methodical life of worker. But when
a man of 40 years old is loved by a be-
witch1ng girl of 16, he ends by return
ing her affection. From that time there
was but one woman in the worldto him.

THE LEVIATHAN.
A Mighty Monster of the Deep Captur-
ed in Scotland---l0l feet in
Length, with fms and
Things to Match.

New YORK, May 12.-Foreign papers
received last night publish circum-
stantial narrative by a resident at Oban,
Scotland from which it appears the seq
serpant has been actually captured at
that place. The correspondent writes
GA most extraordinary event has occur
ed here,-the stranding and capture
of the veritable sea- serpent in front of
the Caledonian Hotel, Oban. About
o'clock yesterday an animal or fish of
gigantic size was seen sporting in the bay
near Heather Island. It was of the SER
pant species, carrying its head fully %
feet above the water. A number of
boats were launched and proceeded to
the bay, the crews armed with such
weapons as could be got handy. They
headed the monster, and some of the
boats were within 30 yards of it, when
it suddenly sprang half length out of
water and made for the open sea. A
random fire from several volunteers with
rifles seemed to have no effect on it.
The boats ranged across the entrance of
the bay, and by screams and shouts
turned the monsters course, and it head
ed directly for the breast-wall of the
Great Western Hotel. One boat had a
most narrow escape, the animal actually
rubbing against it.
A little past six the monster took the
ground on the beach in front the Cal
edonian hotel in Georgia street, and his
proportions were now fully visible. In
his frantic exertions with his tail sweep
ing the beach no one dared to approach.
The stones were flying in all directions,
one seriously injuring u man named
Badly Barrow, and another breaking the
window of the Commercial bank. A
party of volunteers under Lieut. David
Menzies now assembled and fired volley
after volley into the neck, according
to the directions of DR.. Campbell, who
did not wish for scientific reasons that
the CONFORMATION of the head should be
damaged As there was bright moon
this continued till nearly 10 o'clock,
when Mr.. Stevens, of the Commercial
bank, waded in and fixed strong rope
to the animals head, and by the exer-
tons of some seventy folks it was drag
ged above high water mark. Its exact
appearance is as follow: Extreme length
1O1 feet; the thickest part is about %
feet from the head, which is eleven feet
in circumference. At this part is fixed
a pair of fins four feet long by nearly
seven feet across. At the sides further
back is long dorsal fin extending for
at least twelve or thirteen feet, and five
feet high in front, tapering to one foot.
The tail is more of a fiattened termina-
ton to the body proper than anything
else. The eyes are very small IN proper
ton and elongated, and gills of the
length of two and half feet behind.
There are no external ears.
Great excitement is created, and the
country people are focking in to view it.

The Fond du Lac Journal man ain t
going to read any more war news from
Turkey. The names have proved too
much for his sensitive organization.
Hear him relate his grieveance:
We are willing to follow the fortunes
of the eastern war as long as it sticks to
easy names, like Kars; but when the
fighting is forced into these places with
names that would give wild kangaroo
the delirium tremens, where alphabet
after alphabet has been slaughtered in
cold blood and the remains chopped into
pieces and stacked up to make a name
for town of four hundred inhabitants;
where such names as Milwaukee Ozau-
kee, Oconomowoc and Manitowoc would
simply be words of euphony OF. three
vowel sounds-we say, when they get to
fighting at such places as those they can.

AN instance of enforced retribution
comes from Massachusetts,. In 1871,
the teller, Hine, of the Mahaiwe Bank
of Great Darlington, stole from the
bank$24, 900, with which he absconded to
California. Afterward, being convicted,
he was sent &c prison. While there it
was learned from his letters, which were
opened by the jailer, that one Barrey of
Darlington helped him to get away on
the night of the robbery. For this SER
vice Hine paid him 81, 700, with 81 500
of which Barrey's parents bought real
estate. This, as having been bought
with its money, the bank brought suit to
recover, and now the decision is in it's
favor. Barry himself has been convic-
ted of his share of the crime, but his
lawyers got the ease into the United
States courts, and the accomplice is at
large under bail.

The sewing machine patents expired
last week, and it is expected important
reductions in the machines will be the
result. The actual first cost of the $50
and $40 machines sold by the leading
companies is on the confessiol of their
officers, from 81 to S15 apiece.
The extent and value Of the machine
trade may be gathered from the fact
that the Singer Company, which last year
sold over 100000 machines, has from
$4,000, 900 to SIS, 100000 to invest in
its business, the Howe Company has
$1,000, 900 to S8,0OO,OOO, and the
Wheeler & Wilson and other large COM
panies amounts in proportion.

MORMONISM.

It looks as if Mormonism would at
last get its desserts. The administration
Is speedily approaching the point of
taking positive measures to wipe out of
existence this blot upon the body polite.
Should Brigham Young persist in his
arrogant opposition to the q. S. author
ity, you may expect decided steps taken
to put a quietus upon him and his fol-
lowers. The official advices show him
as believing that he can resist the United
States by arms, and Herewith render
and keep himself independent of all
gentle authority. 1t needs but some
overt act of his to enable the government
to wipe him out and scatter his faithful
as widely as the Jews, and it is to be
hoped he will not delay. So long as he
pursued the jesmtical policy of render
ing obedience, he was able to control
Utah. But abandonment of that will as
necessarily result in his destruction as
resort to the sword wiped out American
slavery. The Post Office Department
will be compelled to change the manner
of compromising postmasters, owing to
the vast proportions the illegal sales of
stamps is assuming. Minor offices all
over the country will sell stamps at a
discount in spite of the law to the con-
trary, because such course gives them
additional profit and the only way to
prevent such operations is to adopt a
new system of compensation not based
on sales OF stamps. Removal of the
offending postmaster avails little to
prevent, since those who buy the stamps
at low rates will not inform. Ben But
ler's letter to the Postmaster General,
sanctioning the removal of en'snephew,
one G.. 81. Butler, as special agent at
the Black Hills, is a shrewd dodge,
SINCE it opens up line Of furious attack
should the facts prove Mr.. Keys action
as unwarransed. Old Ben accepts the
situation conditioned On full snyestiga-
ton, knowing all the while that no in

TnDEN is reported to have refused to
attend the annual banquet of the New
York Chamber of Commerce, lest, as
President Hayes was to be there, his at
tendance might be construed into an ad-
mission that Hayes was really elected
President. 1t is surprising that Tilden
consents to live within the territorial
limits of the United States, since some
might consider that an admission that
Hayes was elected. Tilden should go
to Turkey for the next four years.

KASSON OF IOWA.

The appointment of Mr.. Kasson as
Minister to Spain is looked on here as
indicative of change of policy in Span
ish matters, for he is regarded as favor
able to the recognition Of Cuba. Mr..
Kasson proved himself one of the ablest
men in last Congress and we doubt
whether any Republican in it showed
more parliamentary, legal and political
ability than he. While he takes the
place of our shrewdest and wisest di-
plomat, Mr.. Gushing, yet we feel assur-
ed he will successfully cope with all the
important issues which may arise at
Madrid, and in so far as consistent with
the nations policy, will endeavor to
secure freedom for Cuba. Not by force
as with Buchanan under the Ostend
manifesto, but by wisest diplomacy
Iowa like Ohio is getting huge share
of the ''pickings" and bids fair to have
her sons take prominent place in ma
tional affairs. Kasson in Spain, Nc
Crary in the War Department, Carpen-
ter Second Comptroller is merely sam
pie of what she is getting, yet as long as
she puts forward men of such actual
worth, its all right.
