INDIGNANT POLLY W0G.
By MRS. MARGARET ETr1NeE.

BY MRS. MARGARET ETTINGE.
A tree toad, dressed in apple green,
Sat on a messy log
Beside a pond, and shrilly sang,
Come forth, my Polly Wog-
My Pol-my-Ly-my Wog-
My pretty Polly Wog ;
I've something very sweet to say,
My slender Polly Wog
1.-THE air is moist-the moon is hid
Behind a heavy fog.
No stars are out to wink and blink
At you, my Polly Wog-
My Pol-my-Ly-my Wog-
My graceful Polly Wog
Oh, tarry not, beloyed one
My precious Polly Wog !"
Just then away went clouds, and there
A-sitting on the log
The other end, I mean-the moon
Showed angry Polly Wog.
Her small eyes fashed-she swelled until
She looked almost a frog;
How dare you call me, sir" she asked,
'Your precious Polly Wog."
"Why, one would think your life was spent
In some low muddy bog;
I'd have you know. to strange young toads,
MY names Miss Mary Wog."
One wild, wild laugh that tree-toad gave,
And tumbled off the log,
And on the ground he kicked and screamed,
''Oh, Mary, Mary Wog
Oh, Ma! oh, Ry! oh, Wog!
Oh, proud Miss Mary Wog!
Oh, goodness gracious! what a joke!
Murray for Mary W0g!'

since 1860. There is absolutely no
considerable body of respectable peo-
pie in the country who would tolerate
any resistance to the decision of this
Commission by either party. we
thought, and still think, the Commits
sion a mistake. The country did not
think so, overruled such protests as
ours, and insisted on the reference. we
promptly acquiesced then, and any
body who does not acquiesce now will
be run over as remOrselessly as we
should have been. The country means
that this settlement shall stand.
The country is likely to believe too
that it is an honest settlement. Few
have any doubts as to Florida. There
is no longer a dispute as to South Caro-
lima. 1t is clear that the law is with
the Republicans in Louisiana. AS to
Oregon, people must choose between
the elector bought with eight thousand
dollars from Is Gramercy Park, and the
one who received an undisputed major
ity of the Oregon votes. We would
have been glad if there had been a
bigger majority in Florida and clearer
case according to northern idea of equi-
ty as well as law in Louisiana. But
the evidence warrants us in saying that
whatever may seem to be the shadow
on the title of Gov. Hayes, it is as
nothing to the blackness of darkness
that has settled over the claim of Gov.
Tilden. Somebody has been elected !;
and it is certain that Gov. Tilden has
not been. The end is in slightly. Y.

THE DEMOCRATS VIOLENT.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-The excite
ment among the Democrats, has never
been as great since the meeting of Con-
gress as it is tonight. The disappoint-
ment was very great week ago when
the Electoral Commission gave the
vote of Florida to the Republicans, but
as the Democrats did not consider that
case as vital to their success, the most
of them, after indulging in free denun-
citation of the Commission and of the
principles which it had laid down, set
| tied down to an acceptance of its award.
So small was the party which desired to
repudiate it and to refuse to stand by
the agreement entered into when the
Electoral bill was passed, that Proctor
Knott found no one to support publicly
the resolution which he introduced to
send the award of the Commission back
for revision, The decision in the Lou
isiana case is accepted by everybody as
final and conclusive of the whole Presi-
dental controversy, and while many of
the Democrats cannot be said to be dis
appointed with it, they are none the
less excited and indignant.
The Republicans, of course, are highly
elated. For the first time since the 9TH
of November they feel as though all
doubt of Gov. Hayes's Inauguration had
been removed. and the victory for
which they have labored so long and
earnestly, and which has been so tardi-
ly accorded to them, is finally won.
The Democrats, on the other hand, are
almost violent. A few of them would
be glad to resort to the most extreme
measures to prevent the Republicans
from enjoying their victory. 1t is
doubtful, however, if sufficient num-
Der can be rallied for this purpose.
Some of the more moderate Democrats
are very bitter in accusing the Repub-
licans of bad faith in connection with
the appointment and action of the Com
mission. They say that it was under
stood by those who framed the bill,
and by its principal supporters in both
houses, that if the questions at issue
were submitted to a commission, that
tribunal should take into consideration
some part of the evidence at least upon
which they based their case. These
men announced tonight their deter
mination at least to put upon record a
protest showing the bad faith of the
Republican members of the Commission
in not living up to this agreement.

sequently ascertained, claimed to be IN

work. His occupation was that of a
rag picker. The landlady said that he

One applicant for aid was reported to

renting for $25 per month; another
owns fifteen lots in a town but thirty
miles from Chicago, and has a pension

INTEMPERANCE.
The saddest cases of restitution,
mixed with wickedness and woe, and
on which we will lower the curtain,
having neither space nor wish to dis
play them to the reader, were those
caused by intemperance. How long
will those who have reason and pay
taxes, allow those who have sunk into
abject slavery to base appetites and
brutal passions, to be thus fed on fire
and fury only to become prey not
only upon property, but destroyers so
far as possible of all that is beautiful,
or worthy, or of good report
BORROWING CHILDREN.
In one district where the cOlOred
people, the Italian padrOnes, Polish
Jews, and the mixed nationalities pre-
dominate, the custom of borrowing chill
dren is quite extensive as means of
eliciting sympathy. The trick has been
quite successful among the Poles and
colored people, who have repeatedly
passed their offspring up and down the
alleys. The Poles are the heaviest
dealers in this kind of business. The
art of cOncealment seems to have de-
velOped into profession among these
people. In many cases the strangest
devices have been resOrted to to impose
upon the county. o.

The Oregon Trick.

The dispatches sent from Oregon to
Col. Pelton, Tilden's private secretary
and nephew, do not have very re-
the light of what has since transpired.
This dispatch, for instance, signed by
j. H. n. Patrick, dated Nov. %, and
Endorsed by Senator Kelley of Ore
gOn =
Certificate will be issued to one Dem
ocrat ; must purchase Republican cleo
tor to recognize and act with Demo-
crat, and secure vote and prevent
trouble. Deposit $4,000 to my credit
with Kountz Bros, Wall street. An
swer."
Here is another, addressed to Pelton.
and dated Nov. 80: =
Governor all right without reward :
will issue certificate Tuesday this is a
secret. The Republicans threaten if a
certificate is issued to ignore the Dem
ocrat claim, and fill the vacancy, thus
defeat the action of the Governor. One
electOr must be made to recognize the
Democrat to secure majority. Have
employed three lawyers; editor only
Republican paper as one; lawyers fee
$4,000; will take $4,000 for Republi-
can elector; must raise money; can't
make fee contingent. Sail Saturday;
Kelly and Billinger will act. Commu-
nicate with them. Must act prompt
These dispatches are susceptible of
only one Interpretation, which is, that
the Democrats attempted to use mon
ey to control the Oregon electoral vote,
and that the plan to count in Cronin as
an electOr was well known to the lead
ers of that party before its eonsumma-
ton. 1t was base and contemplate
trick.
