MIR. BLAINE IN TIE SENATE.

The bold and outspoken policy of
Mr.. Blame in the Senate will COM
mand respect even where It does not
win approval. Aud Mr.. BIaine's op-
ponents will not find it easy 10 contro-
vert the logic OF his arguement, that
votes which were good enough to make
q President and Vice-President Of the
United States are certainly good
enough--especially when you hsvs
thousand Of them-to make aGover-
nor OF State. ~.
The rahcor already displayed In this
debate will serve to shtw how delu-
siye was the hope that the cunning
device of: the Electoral Commission,
BY which the Constitution was over
thrown, was to give lasting peace to
the country. Before even the forfna-
tion of q Cabinet for the unelected
President, the Republican, party itself
triumphant in wrong, has ceased to
be a happy family.-N r Stih..' ou y. =

The SPORT OF FALCoNR Y

Falconry, as it used to be practised was
a most fascinating pursuit, Its origin Is
lost in the remotest ages of antiquity. 1t
is sufficiently clear, however, that iteame
to Europe from the East, where, ffom
time immemorial, it has been a favorite
amusement. The Orientials have always
trained the hawk, the greyhound and the
cheetah Or hunting leopard, and at this
moment hawking is as much national
sport in Persia as coursing in England -
The first European writer of any emf
nence who treated of falconry, was one
julius Firmicus, whose name would seem
sufficiently to denote his northern origin.
This learned author lived about the mid
die ofthe fourth century, and wrote a
most able treatise in Latin ON the art oil
"Hawking." From his day downward
falconry became more and more fashion
able, and in Doomsday book constant re-
ferences to it are to be found.
In those times an English gentleman
carried his hawk on his wrist, and was
attended by his hounds, almost as mat
ter of course, and hawk would some
times fetch price which, when allow
ance is made for the difference in the
value of money, would now be consider
ed almost extravagant for a Derby win
ner. Toward the end of the reign OF
Edward iii, falcons of good breed began
to be scarce. and accordingly it was made
felony without benefit of clergy to steal a
hawk, while to take its eggs was punish
able with imprisonment for year and a
day, and fine at the kings pleasure
Hawking, as pastime, continued, as no
student of Shakespeare need be remind
ed, long into the Tudor period. 1t died
out with the protectorate aud on the re-
storation of Charles Ii, it was found to
be practically extinct. According to q
Dublin journal this sport of the English
country is about to be resuscitated in
Ireland,-BeUS Life.

8 "You DID VERY WRONGad


Two good stories are told in eonnec-
Ition with the pressure of Cabinet ap.i
pointments which show that President
Hayes is somewhat, of a wag. A crowd
of Cameron men called on him to urge
the rstontionlin office of Pennsylva-
nia's favorite son. Some of them had
been in the Cincinnati Convention as
delegates, and they took pains to in
form Mr.. Hayes that he owed his nom
nation wholly to their support. Itre-
quired great deal Of nerve, they said,
to go against the Instructions of their
constituents and vote for him, and
they were afraid after the convention
to return home and face the anger of
their people. "Did / understand you
to say that you disregarded the wishes
of your constituents ?" asked the Pres
ident in his most gracious manner
That's just what we did," replied the
Cameronian delegation. Then I must
say, gentlemen, that you did very
wrong" said Hayes, dryly, as he dis
missed them. s-l ..

John Nathan, a negro, was killed in
ST. Louis, by man whom he was assail-
ing with knife, On Nathan's body
were found eleven scars, nearly all from
stabs received in street fights, and he had
inflicted, it is said, many more wounds
than he had received. Another note
worthy thing about him was his belief in
the efficacy Of charms. In his pockets
were found two potatoes, to ward off dis
ease; rabbits foot, which he held in his
hand, ssfor luck" in throwing dice; an
herb, to enable him to choose winning
numbers in policy; and peculiar shell,
to drive away evil spirits.

William Accomplice Wheeler, in taking
the oath as Vice-President. spoke of the

of the most difficult of those duties
ought to consist in his being obliged to
