LET THE FUNERAL PROCESSION
PRoCEED-"The Democracy did not
beat Us, any way" is the consolation
of Republican journal at the result
Of the Maine election. 1t seems to
think that defeat at the hands Of the
Nationals more endurable than at the
hands Of the Democracy. Perhaps
that is 80. There is 10 accounting
at all times for the eccentricities of
human nature. If Republicans prefer
death at the hands Of the Nationals, a
far more radical organization than
that of the Democratic party, than at
the hands of tho Democracy. all we
have to say is, let the funeral process
sion proceed.-[Cincinnati Enquirer.

The Two Horns.

The idea of man claiming to be a
Democrat and running against the
nominee of his party is simply pre-.
posterous. If he is Democrat his
duty is to work and vote for his par
ty, not to attempt to disorganize the
whites and turn his people over to
the bad negroes and worse white men.
And that is exactly what Mr.. Grape
is doing. There is no more chance
for him to be elected, than there is
for him to fly, consequently every
vote cast for him aids Bou|lt.
If Grape does not see and know
this, then he is a fool, and totally in
competent for any Office if elected,
and if he does know it, he is bad
man, and playing into the hands of
Boullt.
Mr.. Grape cannot escape this

DISCIPLINE.

The Democratic party is a diScl'
plined army. 1t recognizes no man
that does not yield obedience t" the
mandates Of the majority. What Is
decided by that majority, if he be
Democrat. he must obey. The voter
who will not 40 yield to party d'sci-
pline is, in this country, dangerous
foe to our institutions.
1t is we'll enough to look hack to
the old days and to read of what
fine times there are at elections in
the North. Such is all very we'll.
Before the war here, as it is in the
North now, all were white men
equally interested in good laws, low
taxation and honest government.
We have no such condition of affairs
now. A voting population, totally
ignorant of their duties, full of Bit
ter prejudice and of a lower race,
have been suddenly advanced to citi-
zenship. The eight years rule of
that class In the parish ia reason
enough, argument enough, to convince
any reasoning mind, that the white
man cannot afford to divide j.. that
discipline must be maintained 10 our
ranks at all hazards.
Every "Iudependent" candidate is
an insult to discipline; disorgani-
zer, and should be stamped ont. No
man has any right to jeopardize the
welfare of this community that he
may crafty personal spite, or adj
vance his selfish ends.
Let all good men unite to promote
harmony, for that is essential to sue
cess.

wOMEN'S SHOES.
What is Fashionable for Foot Gear.
New York Home Journal


\ fashion of wearing shoes has suddenly
sprung up among the Partisan elegantes, and
the sort they affect are called "SoulieTs An
gais." They are made of kid, and the front
comes high on the instep; the heel is not
very high, and frequently the, toe is
ornamented with white silk embroidery.
They are tied with ribbons like a mans
shoe, and the toes are rounded. Colored
stockings of fine wool. with embroidered
clocks, are worn with this shoe. The clocks,
be 1T observed, are always of light silk;
very often the stockings are checked with
two colors-and green, blue or plain cardl-
| nal red, peasants blue or bishops violet.
Fashion is becoming practical; we have short
skirts, petticoats guileless OF starch, wooden
stockings, shoes, and net for the hair; all
of which are comfortable, and consequently
conducive to the health, because the toilet
being no longer cumbersome, the healthful
exercise of walking is more readily under
taken. Boots laced up the front like those
worn by gentlemen, which were made of
ecru leather for the seaside, are now worn in
| black unpublished kid. Dark green kid boots
| are made to wear with the dark green cos
| tunes at present so fashionable, and there are
the prettest dark green shoes imaginable for
indoor wear, with short toes, and two straps
| across the instep; these straps are in plush,
and the buckles that fasten them are in either
| red gold, or steel, or crystal; the form of
| these small buckles is square when they are
of metal, and they are oval when they are of
crystal The toes of fine kid and satin shoes
are now embroidered. black satin is worked
with jet, and colored satin with flowers and
arabesques in silk Louis XIV. slippers,
called 'mules," and consisting of the front
or toe and sole only, are made of Japanese
and Chinese materials, are embroidered with
gold and sometimes with small coral beads;
and shoes for evening wear are now made
with embroidered metal heels, lined with
satin and studded with tiny precious stones.
Shoe buckles are also made of precious
stones, particularly Turquoise and amethysts;
amethysts have much decreased In price,
hence they are relegated to shoes.

The Way He Plays Hypocrite.
New York Herald


The account gwen in another column by
our special correspondent at Washington OF
the tone and substance of Mr.. Hayes con-
versation With his friends exhibits him as
the most serene and self satisfied of all pub.
lie functionaries, and, indeed, of all mortals
in this care vexed world. No shade of doubt
has ever crossed his mind as to his mental
sutficiency for his great position; and as he
foresaw everything from the beginning Just
as 1t has come to pass, he is neither discOm-
posed nor disappointed. IL is sur
prising view which Mr.. Hayes takes
OF the political situation and of his own
relation to il and concern in it. Every
his original calculations, and he is not dis
appointed in the least by any turn affairs
have taken. The public will be curious to
know on what data he founded all the ex-
pectations which have been so remarkably
fulfilled. What was there, for example, in
the fact that he carried his own state in the
election of 1876 to warrant the expectation
that his party would be so badly beaten in
Ohio in 1877? BY his own representation he
stood on precisely the same ground in both
years-namely, his letter of acceptance.
Why, then, did his own state turn against
him, and what was his reason for
suDposiug in advance that it would
condemn him? His assertion that
he is not disappointed implies that he knew
change on his part, he would forfeit the
confidence of his own state, which practi-
cally repented in 1877 of having given him
its electoral votes in 1876. The wonder is
by what process Of reasoning he was led to
form this prophetic opinion in advance of
the facts. Would he have the country be-
lieve that he really expected the republican
losses in the state elections of last autumn,
and serenely counted on the desertion and
condemnation of nearly all the tried and
conspicuous republican leaders? Does he
really feel no disappointment at the fact
that nine-tenths of the newspapers that
advocated his election have turned against
him and condemn his policy? Did he ex-
pect, when be issued his noted civil service
order, that it would prove such a failure
that he would be costrained first to ex-
plain it away and then tacitly abandon it2
Ii he was not disappointed by the rejection
OF his nominations for the New York custom
house why did he do so futile thing as to
send in names which he knew would not be
confirmed? And why did the intimates and
familiars of the white house send over the
country such confident and cock. sure
predictions OF the triumph of the president
over the opposing senators until within two
days of Mr.. Conklings signal triumph? If
the president anticipated all the rebuffs he
has received from his own party he was
pleased 10 make great secret of his expec-
tations. II we may use an expressive slang
word, the kind of talk in which Mr.. Hayes
is so profusely INDUCING seems a good deal
like "poppycock," or at least like a new
salve for rubbing his political wounds.

/ have noticed, said Leigh Hunt, that lips
become more or less contracted in the course
of years, in proportion as they are accus-
toned to express good humor and generos-
ity, or peevishness or a contracted mind.
Remark the effect which a moment of i'll
temper and grudginess has upon the lips
and judge what may be expected from a
habitual series of such movements. Remark
the reverse, and make similar judgment.
The mouth is the frankest part of the face;
il can not in the least conceal its sensations.
We can hide neither Ill temper with it nor
good; we may affect what we please, but
affectatIon will not help US In a wrong
cause it will only make our observers resent
the endeavor to impose on them. The
mouth is the seat of one class of emotions
and the eyes are of another; or, rather, it
expresses the same emotions. but in greater
detail and with greater irrepressible ten
dency to be in motion. 1t is the region of
smiles and dimples, and of trembling
earnestness; of a sharp sorrow or full breath
ing joy; of candor of reserve, of anxious
care or liberal sympathy. The mouth. out
of its many sensibilities, may be fancied
throwing up one great expression into the
eye, as many lights in city reflect broad
luster into the heavens

Justice in Russia.

Justice in Russia seems to be halt and
lame, as we'll as blind aud deaf. Nearly 20C
persons who were accused of sympathizing
with revolutionary movements, and i'm
prisoned four years ago, have been waiting
all these weary months for a chance to be
heard in court. In the interval some OF
them have died, others have contracted
chronic diseases, and several of them have
become insane. The whole number of arrests
amounted to nearly 1000, but large num-
Der were liberated after short terms of impri.
sonment. A young girl was arrested because
certain Debogory. A man of that name was
among the accused, and the authorities at
once leapt to the conclusion that the young
person in question had been in correspond
ence with members of the supposed secret
society. When she had been in prison two
or three years it was accidentally discovered
that the writer of the letter was not the De-
bOgory who had been arrested, but news
paper correspondent of the same name,
and that the letter had appeared in one
of the daily papers. A young doctor, who
had been compromised four years ago, but
had been allowed to remain at liberty on
condition of appearing when summoned,
was recalled from the army and placed in
the dock. A young girl was arrested some
years ago, and was likewise liberated on
bail. When she had probably forgotten all
about having read revolutionary panphle Is
and talked sedition, if she was ever guilty OF
such things, and when she was already s
married woman with two young children
she was again arrested and placed among the
accused.
