SAMUEL g. RICE, Chairman of the New
York State Central Committee OF the Green-
back party, has issued circular inviting
the friends Of that party to meet at Roches-
ter on the 2Sd Of August.
THE Maine State Republican Conven-
tion was held at Augusta, ON the 9th, and
was called to order by Senator Blaine, Chair
man OF the State Central Committee. Gov.
Connor was renominated unanimously and
by acelamation. When the Committee on
Resolutions had made their report, an
amendment was offered by Gen. Chamber
lain, indorsing President Hayes and the
Southern policy, Mr.. Chamberlain advocating
the resolution. G. A. Boutell then moved an
amendment declaring that Cows. Packard and
Chamberlain, of Louisiana and South Caro-
lima, we're entitled to their respective ofices

the failure to SO recognize them had

both the resolutions offered as amendments,

Short Biographies Of Three Noted
: Humorists.

New York Cores 2ondenee Utica Herald
The drama of "Ah Sin" at the
Fifth Avenue Theater is remarkable
as the work of two printers, and it is
also noticeable as the first time
that San Francisco genius has con-
tributed anything to the New York
drama. These printers have Gu
rious history. The younger of the
pair, Bret Harte, was born in Alba
ny, in 1889, and accompanied his
friends to San Francisco in 1854.
He Immediately learned printing in
the Golden Era, and gradually be-
came an editor. In 1858 he started
the Overland Monthly. His verses
on the "Heathen Chinee" gave him
wide notoriety, and in 1871 he came
to this city and established himself
as a literateur. The other, Mark
Twain Is. L. Clemens, was born
in Missouri, and is now forty-two.
He began printing at thirteen, in
the Office of the Hannibal Courier,
and afterward became a pilot on the
Mississippi. Then he accompanied
brother to Nevada, and became
reporter for the Morning Call. His
popularity as humorist led him to
come to this city in 1868, and his
success since then has been of a
very brilliant character.
Clemens calls Hartford his home,
and no doubt il is as much so as
any spot can be home to such
wanderer. He has made more
money than any American author
of his age, and thus far his success
does not appear TO spoil him. 1t is
to be remembered that Artemus
Ward &C. f. Brown was also a
printer. His success was also of a
remarkable character, but although
he made money very rapidly, his
estate proved to be of little value.
Much of his humor was found in
comic blunde=s in spelling. He
found a follower in Josh Billings.
Clemens, however, does not resort
to any trickery. His success has
been greater than either Artemus
Ward or Bret Harte, and he is now
in demand as a lecturer at $3.50 per

Stonewall Jaokson's Religion.


Col. Kyd Douglass in Phila. Weekly Times
The press has done much to give
the public false impression OF
the religious side of Stonewall Jack
sons character. He was a member
of the Presbyterian church, strict
ly Christian, liberal gentleman.
But he was neither bigot nor Phari-
see. He held his own devotions in
secret. He made no parade of his
religion, nor pressed his creed upon
any one; he was not Cromwellian
in this regard; he believed other
paths led to heaven just as surely
as the one he was travelling. On
his staff were sons of clergymen of
the Episcopal, Reformed and Pres
byterian churches, and some others
who were very much in the dark as
to their religious faith. The fact is,
the Presbyterian Elder, as he is
sometimes called, became such by
marriage. The first prayers said
over him were those of his pious
Methodist mother-although it ap.
pears in his youth he was not more
pious than the average young man.
When in Mexico he was nearly per-
suaded 10 be a Romanist. He af-
forwards was a member Of the Epis
copal church, and finally settled
down in the Presbyterian church, to
which his wife belonged. When the
Louisiana Brigade applied for a
chaplain, he recommended that a
priest be sent them, because large
majority were Roman Catholics.
His own devotedness was illustrated
by the purity of his life, not by pro
fessions, and his faith and simplici
ty was well known TO his troops.
He often attended their services and
prayer meetings, night or day, and
kneeling in the midst Of the same
SCARED veterans he had led in so
many battles, he led them in prayer
to the Lord of Hosts. Whom he
was thus in camp all noise was
hushed dropping their cards and
all other amusements, old men and
young gathered around him, stand
ing and kneeling with uncovered
heads in sacred silence. A thous-
and hands would have boon raised
to strike the impious wretch who
dared to scof when Stoncwall Jack
son prayed.

He held her close to his heart;

1t was more than five years be-
fore Jennie Grayson became the
wife of Mark Lesley. She had been
an orphan for three years, and her
home was with Lena, who had been
the proud, happy wife of Douglas
Bertram all those five years, and
was now the mother of two lovely
children, Mark and Jennie. And

OH BREATHE NOT HER NAME.
TO THE MEMORY OF BELOVED ONE.


There are no eyes that tears don't love.
No life without hopes fed;
There is no heart without grave
Whore buried love lies dead.
OH breathe not her name but in sadness and
SORROW,
She slumbers in death and our heart sadly
weeps,
In vain it may sigh and welcome the morrow,
For its dawn will not waken the loved one
that sleeps.
Cold, cold is thy form that all virtues did
hallow,
The light of its loneliness no longer we
view,
And still are thy feet that delighted to follow
The pathway of duty, the good to pursue.
OH breathe not her name but in signing and
sadness,
The cru'l reaper, Death, culled the flower
in its bloom,
In the dark of the grave the smiles of her
Forever are dimmed by the depths of its
gloom.
Dim are thine eyes that love and light
haunted,
And closed are thy lips that but parted to
smile,
flushed is thy voice whose music enchanted,
And pulseless the heart that knew nothing
of guile.
oh! breathe not her name but in signing and
weeping,
Her cold hands are folded and hushed is her
breath,
She sleeps her last sleep, and forever is
sleeping,
Where the sad willows weep DER the cham
bers of death.
Pure was thy spirit that sweetly united
The treasures of wisdom and beauty ofsoul,
Sweet its communion, that all charmed, de-
lighted.
By the meek power of its gentle control.
OH breathe not her name but lowly AID sadly,
No longer she fingers to gladden. our sight,
Vanished the face that shone brightly and
gladly,
That yielded to others the sweetest delight.
Bright was thy soul as the light of Aurora,
That dawns IN the east in a chariot ofgold,
Sweet was thy life, and as fair as the flora,
That do their pure blossoms in beauty
unfold.
Oh! breathe not her name but fOndly, and
solely
AS the name of dear one you tenderly
Fer angels aow breathe it both sweetly and
holy,
IT'S the name of an angel that dwells in
the skies. NJ. ID.

THEY DO at THE SPRINGS.

Ofthe water so sparkling and clear,
Tho the flavor is none OF the best,
And the odor exceedingly queer.
But the fluid is mingled, you know.
With wholesome medical things;
So they drink, and they drink and they drink,
And that's what they do at the Springs.
Then with appetite keen as a knife,
They hasten to breakfast or dine;
The latter precisely at tive,
The former from seven till nine.
Ye Godsl what q hustle and rush,
When the eloquent dinner-bell rings;
Then they eat. and they eat, and they eat,
And that's what they do at the Springs.
Then they stroll in the beautiful walks,
Or loll in the shade of the trees
Where many whisper is heard.
That is never told by the breeze
And hands are commingled with hands
Regardless ofconjugal rings;
And they firt, and they fliTt, and they flirt,
And that's what they do at the Springs.
TheIdrawing rooms now in blaze,
The music is pealing away;
Terpsichore governs the hour,
And fashion was never so gay.
An arm round q delicate waist
How closely and fondly it clingsl
And they waltz, and they waltz. and they
waltz
And that's what they do at the Springs.
In short, as it goes in the world,
They eat and they drink and they sleep,
And they talk and they walk and they WOO
They sleep and they laugh and they weep
They read, and hey ride, and they dance,
With other remarkable things,
They play and they pray and they pay;
And that's what they do at the Springs

Russia's Big Job.

The Russians have met with an
other severe defeat at Tirnova,
where they suffered a loss of $4,000
killed and wounded. The Turks
under Osman Pasha and Mehemet
Ali have accomplished the pro-
gramme of severing the Russian
line of communication with Gener-
al Ghonrka, and have developed
strategy and celebrity of an unusal
character. The Russians have been
outgeneraled, and it will take some
rapid and resolute work to enable
them to recover their ground. Tue
defeat at Tirnova seems to be fatal
to General Ghourka's army, which
had orders to retreat from Roumel-
ia through the Schibka pass
Ghourka has succeeded, however,
in destroying the railroad between
Jamboi and Phillipopolis, and the
whole country in the vicinity of
Eski Saghra has been laid waste,
and the Bulgarians living in Rou-
melia have risen with desperate fe-
rocity on their old masters, so that
the Turks will have their hands full
for some time south of the Balkans
putting down insursections.
All the Russians can now do is to
hurry forward their re endorsements
about Biela and fight desperately to
dispose of the armies of Mehemet
Ali and Osman Pasha.-Cour.- j our

LENA'S JEALOUSY.
BY LEM LEoTA HARwELL.


Lena Hartford, with twelve thou
sand year, splendid estate and
well trained servants that obeyed
her least command, was far more
miserable that dull October Gay, be-
cause it was raining, than Amy
Dane, the meek companion, who
was trying to please her petulent
mistress by an account of the vivid
interest of some new book.
'It's of no use, Amy. To rain
like this, to-day, too, when Douglas
promised to come over from South
ampton!"
"You will forget the rain if you
will only let me read you the first
chapter. 1t is splendid, Miss Lena"
persisted Amy, opening the purple
bound volume.
Miss Hartford stopped her with a
gesture, "Ring for my waterproof
and boots, Amy; I am going down
to the lodge to see Eta Reese"
"Miss Lenap cried Amy, in sur
prise.
Miss Lena had turned to the win
dow and was impetuously tapping
the pane. She was still very young,
scarcely more than three and TWEEN
ty, with proud fire in her face and
shining through her dark eyes
which were more bewltching than
her beauty; tall and slight with
majestic grace in every movement.
Lena Hartford was rare specI-
men of womanhood, as good as she
was beautiful, only little too pas
sionate perhaps, though 1t made her
more charming. Rich, gay and &C.
complished, she could not fail to be
a favorite with all that became
acquainted with her. She was an
orphan, her parents having died
when she was only eighteen, and
since then she had lived at the
GRAND old Hartford mansion cher
fathers ancestral honey with her
aoed invalid aunt and her compan-
ion. But that would soon be at an
end. for Lena was engaged to be
married to a dashing young officer
whose regiment was then stationed
at Southampton. He had little
more than his pay in the army, but
she was very proud of him and
loved him all the better for his pow
erty, for hers was nature that felt
almost too keenly the joy of giving.
Douglas was well pleased of course
to have the love of the heiress and
to excite the envy of all the other
fellows who didn't see "what Lena
Hartford liked in Douglas Bertram.
Lena had rebelled fiercely at his
manner lately. 1t was too courte-
Gus. too reserved for a devoted
lover, she inwardly decided; and 1t
was this, perhaps, which upon that
wet day made her disconnected amid
all the splendor of the Hartford
drawing room. After a few sharp
words Lena obtained waterproof and
boots and went out into the rain.
1t was coming down more iiercely
than ever, but she fastened onward
brave enough down the path and
across the bridge, striking away
from the main avenue to save time.
Parting the Hartford grounds from
those of the Graysons was
high, thick fence of laurel which
ran for a few hundred yards in al
most a straight line. A new thought
struck Lena's hayward mind as she
reached the fence. She would so
and see Jennie Grayson who was an
old schoolmate of hers-a tall, gold
en- haired, brown eyed beauty, few
wears Younger than Lena. As she
stood for a moment by the fence
undecided, a low voice tTemulous
with pain reached her from the
other side:

upon the glittering diamonds with
his heel as he spoke.
'For shame! you have spoiled a
ring worth the fourth of Jennie

claimed, slightly emphasizing the
name.
He needed not the words in his
angry pain, but caught the girls
hands in his with no gentle clasp
and looked sternly in her face.

The triumphs you covet, the rank
you may gain will turn to ashes at
your touch. know you love me;
nay, let your eyes droop, know
their secret-you have let me read

lightly broken. Farewell forever"
He wrung her hands and strobe out
of the room, his heart beating fierce

Lena dropped upon her knees and
covered her face from the light.
