A delegation of about thirty gentle

that ex Postmaster General Tyner will

General
Very great interest is felt here among
the friends Of the administration, and
particularly among those OF them in the
Senate, with regard 10 the Senatorial
election IN Ohio. The friends of the
President intimate very particularly
their opinion that the new Senator should
be fully in accord with the President IN
his Southern policy. and moreover that
such support for HIM is regarded as
doubly important from his own Stat.
Owing to the pressure OF applicants for
office at the " White House and the de-
partments, the several secretaries are
already exhausted.

to wait upon HAYES and INTERN him
that if he had no further communication
to make to the Senate, it was ready to
adjourn without day. In reply, HAYES

try are discussing the Tramp. Whence
comes hef OF what tree is he the fruit
We unhesitatingly answer: he is, in al
countries, the fruit OF bad government
In this country he is the direct result
the legitimate offspring of the Republi'
can party. The outlawed tramp of to-
day was the honest, lsw-abiding, hard.
working American mechanic Of one, two
or three years ago. He attended
church; his children went to Sunday
school; he had money in the savings
bank or building association; he was q
respectable member OF society; voter,
an American citizen. To-day he Is
an outlaw, and ststlon-houses and prisons
are erected and maintained for his pan
ishment. What is the reason? What
are the caus as that have led to his dcgra-
dstion, and the degradation of his fam
ily2 There is only one way to &C
count for it, and that is the re.
morseless policy OF the Rad
lcsl party, which for years and years has
been making the rich man richer and
the poor man poorer. But, we are told
that the present disasterous condition Of
the country is all owing to the war; to
speculation it engendered; to the ex-
trsvsgance to which it gave birth; to the
imprudence it created. They tell us that
we are gradually coming down to "hard
pan," that "ws are touching bottom" and
that soon again the land will blossom as
the rose and bloom into old-time pros
perity. The argument is delusion; the
hope is a fsllscy; the promise a
snare. We are growing worse and not
better. The ablest political economists,
such rs JoHoN STUART MILL, all agree
in laying down the law that with good
government country RECEIVERS from the
effects of the most desolsting of wars in
a few years. The condition of France
to. day shows how true this is. She is
now one of the most prosperous countries
in Europe. Only short time ago
she was under the foot of
the Germans. Her industries wore
PROSTATE. Her capital was fsmishlng.
She struggled under debt Ms large as our
own specie payment were suspended. She
ceased TO sell to the world. Her markets
were destroyed. But when the end came
she had statesmen who knew what they
were doing, and in few months her in
dimnity was paid, her industries were
revived, specie payments resumed, her
commerce restored and her people almos'
rs hoursiDg and prosperous as ever.
In our own country what has been
the result? At the end of twelve years
q million OF men are out OF employment
mechanics are starving; merchants are
failing; no man is thriving except the
jobber, the corruptionist, and the ring
thief who has his hand in the public
treasury. Vicious, corrupt Legislation,
bad men in office, have done it all. The
people have been plundered in the name
OF law more mercilessly than tho
middle classes of Europe were plum
dered by the feudal bsrons
of the middle ages. Radicalism is the
synonym of fraud, rascality, and rr5lic
piIlagc and plunder. The legislation, rs
we said above, has all tended to make
the ri,h richer and the poor poorer. 1t
has been in the interest of the capitalist,
the creditor, and against the workingman
and the struggling debtor.

Women in Time Of Danger.

Miss Jennie Frost, Of Council Bluffs,
Iowa, who had marvellous escape from
the train that was wrecked recently On
the Rock Island road, relates that one
woman heroically rescued her six chill
dren and then went to the rescue Of 9th
er sufferers, while another lady was ter
ribly exercised over the loss Of her
satchel, and could think of nothing else
One lady, who was in agony from bro
ken wrist and a compound fracture of
one Of her legs, would not consent to
have morphine injected into her arm be-
cause she feared it might hurt her. An
other lady who was severely injured was
offered glass Of brandy, but refused to
swallow it, stating that she was a strict
ly temperate woman, and meant to stand
by her principles, if she died in the at
tempt. A little child clung to a window
sill, and kept her head above the surging
waters until she was saved. A little girl
lay for four hours with only her face
out Of the water, the corpse of a man
being stretched across her little body.
It was thought that she, too, was dead,
but the man who was chopping out the
wounded thought he saw the little ones
limbs tremble. She was taken out COW
cred with blood, her little stockings as
red as if they had been dyed, and in a
few hours she was as lively as cricket,
asking if anybody had seen her doll

A Genuine Romance in Real Life.
Toronto Globe.

If the story of Mr.. A. D. Fraser, of
Toronto, is true, and we sec no reason
to doubt it, romance will have to work
pretty hard this year to beat the real.
Mr.. Fraser is hardware merchant in
Toronto, who has been missing for over
year His friends thought him dead.
He has come to life, however, with the
following story: In May, 1876, he went
to Montreal to transact some business.
Upon his arrival he was asked by man
at what hotel he was going to stop He
replied the Montreal House The man,
having taken his baggage, drove away
with it, but landed it in the wrong hotel.
Mr.: Fraser then asked the man to take
a drink and carry his baggage to the
Montreal. When he recovered con-
sciousness he found himself in hospi-
tai ward in Cape Town, South Africa.
How he got there is perfect mystery
to him. 1t appears that he landed in
December, 1876, but did not become con-
scious until February, 1877, when he
felt as though he had just awakened
from long sleep He had no money,
but managed to obtain work, which
brought him sufficient to defray his ex-
penses to London. He arrived in Lon
dom after a voyage of almost constant
sickness, on the 9th of August. There
he received money from his friends,
which enabled him to reach home The
strangest part of the mystery is, that
when he reached Cape Town he found
that his valise was with him, and that
his clothes had not been disturbed
Nothing but his watch and chain were
gone.

How a Western Man Got Fast Ride.

A gentleman from the West recently
took his wife to Newport for holiday
Going to livery stable near the Ocean
House, he engaged horse for ride in
the afternoon. AS he left the stable he
caught glimpse of a small boy with
blue trousers, red suspenders; a dirty
shirt and straw hat At the appoint
ed hour the gentleman saw fine horse
standing in front of the hotel with the
rains in the hands of small boy with
blue trousers, red suspenders, a dirty
shirt and straw hat. You have my
horse, l sec" said he to the lad, and,
after fetching his wife from the parlor,
started off for his drive The western
gentleman had had many ride in his
w-going city, but never had he sat be-
hind such splended creature as that
horse. They rode for three hours,
knocking the seconds out of every
mile, passing everything on the road,
the horse distancing every animal that
attempted to rival his PAGES. 81 never
saw such a horse before" said the as
tonished husband to his mate. Yes,
he is very FAST" was the response
but why does everybody stare at us p
After the ride was ended, the gentleman
dropped his wife at the hotel and drove
to the stable, where he thanked the
livery man for the courtesy which he
had shown to stranger. THAT amt
my horse" was the gruff response
MY boy, Bill, waited for you over an
hour this afternoon, and then drove back
to the stable" Why, whose horse is
this p asked the gentleman, all agape
''That horse is General IS" (namine
a well-known New York broker, who
has the best trotters every season al
Newport). The gentleman returned to
the hotel and told his wife that there
were two boys in Newport who had blue
trousers, red suspenders, dirty shirts
and straw hats.
