John OHINAMAN'S CONCLUSION.
1ohn chinamau at his washtub stood,
And cheerily rubbed and secured;
The wages he got were small enough
But never his soul was soufed.
ua did not coyet mansion proud,
His tastes were simple and Few,
He washed away with a lightsomelheart'
And sang as the soap suds hew'
Soon the Mclean man he came that way,
And it grieyed him sore to see
A heather with plenty Of work to do'
And doing it merrily,
For the Mclean man was on strlke'
And his soul was full OF gall,
So he rallied some other Mclean men
And gave the heather call
They kicked John Chinaman into tne Stree''
And round the premises tore,
Till his tubs and other utensils lay
wreck on the laundry floor.
Then the heather he gathered his savings Sc"n''
And sailed for his own countree,
"No Mclean man for me-" he slghed'
.He yely muchee too free"

Blaine in the Senate.

The query has often been mooted as
to why Blaine has been so silent in the
Senate since he became a member of
that body. The query lisa very natural
one. In letter just received from
Washington we have so good an an
swer to it that we cannot refrain from
giving it to our readers:
MANY who have watched Nj.
Haine's triumphant success in the
House doubtless wouder why he is not
foremost in the trays in the Senate.
There he led the forlon hope, and was
the great general who directs the at
tack upon the enemy's works, whether
in front or by flank, and wherever a
weak spot in his own ranks occurred,
his plume, like that of the Black PRINCE
in Ivanhoe, appeared in the midst to
reform and reorganize his men. Yet in
the Senate he has been in the back
ground, and seemingly is as powerless
as Napoleon on st. Helena. The two
bodies are SO essentially different in
their nature that altogether different
leadership is required, and while Mr..
Blaine possesses those characteristics
which enabled him to combine and or

THE Cincinnati Enquirer, abiding
to Miss Anna Dickinson and her illness,
says the following good words:
1t is not strange. That powerful fem
mime brain has been ceaselessly active
from her girlhood. Since, rs Il slight
Philadelphia girl, she paid her first
quarter Of a dollar to hear Wendell
Phillips lecture, she has lived a life
welded fast to the intellect. The most
eloquent platform speaker among wo-
men-novelist, dramatist and actress
as well.-her are versatile faculties
have been constantly overworked. No
woman of this generation has accom-
plished so much, or has entered upon
such varied fields with such success
The illness may prove a blessing in be-
ing a warning. She has added some
thing to every art she has touched-and
she has touched the highest. Every
body hopes that her present illness will
not interfere with her engagements for
the winter to entertain the public.

The Traditional Kentueklan.

In the old boating times the Kentuck-
ian of legend and romance was a ramb-
ling, rowing fellow, who ended every
s~entefce with an oath. 1t was he who
made his morning meal of three cock
tails and a "chaw'' of tobacco. His
amusements were Of much the same
simple order. He could clip the wing
from a mosquito at ten PAGES; he would
stop n life-boat to tell his sacred fellow
passengers a joke. lie affected blooded
stock. The noble and aristocratic
gamecock was his delight. The pedi-
gree of a race-horse was to him a sacred
thing. He was always ready to lose his
own money, and that of everybody else.
He would fight anything, rather prefer.
ing, indeed, the tiger. The invention
Of what has been politely termed on the
other side American whist namely,
d~raw-poker, was in his case the discov-
cry of another world. 1t struck him all
ina heap, beginning with the name it
self. Draw-poker! He was in the habit
Of drawing on his banker, his pistol and
his imagination. In this game he
could draw on all three at one and
the same time. This person l have
described was mistaken by the North
ern banker for the Southern gentleman,
and the lightning-rod agent who APP
peared among us was there looked upon
as specimen of Northern gentleman.

Hugo Richards tells a laughable story
Of two friends who were attacked by
Indians in Arizona. They were both
on muleback and the Indians right Mt
their heels letting the arrows fly past
them thick as a swarm of grasshoppers
in Kansas. One of the mules could out
run the other, and its rider became
alarmed for the safety of his friend,
who was squirting, whipping and yelling
at the animal to urge it along, but it
could not keep up. The foremost man
looked back, saw the peril of his friend,
and, in a frenzy bordering on despair,
sang out, ''Joe, why don't you come
along?n Joe, whose legs and hands
were flying in the air like the arms of a
runaway windmill in a storm, could not
let the opportunity pass, and as an ar
row fitted by his ear, which, if posi-
BILE, increased his exertions, he exclaim-
ed, "Do l act like a man that was
throwing off?"[Arizona Miner.

A Defrauded Heiress.

Sophia Frey, q girl of %, heiress to
$50,000, applies in one of the Philadel-
phia courts to be declared sane and
given the control other property. She
vas adjudged n lunatic in May, 1876,
upon the application of her aunt, who,
it is said, will inherit as next of kin,
should Sophia die in an asylum, for
lunatics do not make wills-valid wills,
that is. When Sophia's father died,
leaving her a totally untaught and
ignorant girl of II, she fell into the
hands of an aunt who sent her off to 4
country place in New Jersey. Sophia
stayed there nine years, growing up en-
tirely wild and heathen-whether at her
own instance or not does not appear,
except by suggestion, in the proofs so
far taken. But in May, 1876, when her
aunt applied to have her adjudged in
sane, it was satisfactorily shown that
she could not read nor write-being
then 81 years old-could not count on
her fingers and did not know what
money vas insane she was declared
to be. But in the asylum what does
she do but find u book and a teacher
and learn to read with great prompti-
tude, as though, being legally a lunatic
she yet had a certain sane appreciation
of things, and even in her ineXperience
wished to suggest that, had she CHANGED
to. be taught, she might have learned
before. Also a physician says that she
is really not crazy, though her mind is
weak, and that she is capable of admin
istering her own affairs. If her ease is
correctly reported, doubtless the law
will recognize that a mind left idle for
twenty years may be weak as a child's
and yet not gone. New York World.
