TO our great relief, that Mr. Hayes is not
statuesque fakir, but an ordinary man. lie
descends from the empyrean, and mlngles III
the dust and noise of terrestrial fights. lie
lifts his eyes from the symbolcal, and casts
them now and then upon the actual anu Vui
gar curious glimpse of this lllllstnous ana
much misrepresented functiOnary engageu Ill
the operations of purely human politics WIS
afforded on Saturday by the Hon. William "
Kelley. of Pennsylvania, when he attempted
reply to the recent admirable speech OF MI
Garfield. For Mr. Kelley brought out the TACT
that the influence of Mr.. Hayes had been EN-
ployed to get him into the House of Represen-
tativcs at the last election. 1t does not seem
to have been his original purpose to disclose
this interesting circumstance the news silppeu
ont, so to speak, in the course OF a little COZ
loouy with Mr.. Foster, OF ONO, WHO
acknowledged that he had written letter
to the effect "that he bad reason to know,
"and was free to say, that Governor Hayes
"desired the return of Mr.. Kelley" 1t was
intended, at first, that Mr.. Foster shouiu pc
serenadcd by Il fire company, or "ha'c'ci
might be handy-Of course. in n perfectly
promiScuous and accidental way-and shouiu
make this avOwal OF Mr.. llayess WISHES, qui,o
casually, as it were, in the course OF speech
of thanks: but the screnade was Abandoned,
and tbe letter was written instead. Now
when we remember that there was talk OF
droppnc Mr.. Kelley at this time, on account
of the extreme violence of his communlStlc
speeches in Ohio, it will be admitted that the
interference of the hard money candidate Tor
the Presidency was calculated to excite
remark.
Thus it will be seen that Mr.. Hayes is not
beyond meddng with caucuses and conVen-
tions when he deems the occasion ut. He
manipulated Ohio to get Mr.. Stanley Matthews
into the Senate, and he manipulated Pennsyi-
vania to keep Mr.. Kelley in the House OF
Representatives. We do not know whether
he is pleased with his work; perhaps he is
he seems to be pleased with everything; but
il occurs to us that he might have done

companies began to insist that the
business of gasmaking should be car
ried on in a separate building, az
distance of thirty or fifty feet. But there are
usually two operations in preparing illumihat-
ing gas from gasoline; one is to convert the
liouid INTO vapOr the other, to mix common
air with the vapOr, and perhaps to give the
gas thus formed the needful pressure. IL
seems TO have been concluded that the latter
half of the Operation-mixing Win ar
could be safely done in the house, II the
machine for doing this were properly con-
structed. IL can scarcely be supposed that
the reservoir of gasoline was kept In the
cellar of the town hall at Harrison. IL IL
was. the people who so arranged it ought to be
indicted for manslaughter.
But even the process of mixing air with gas
olne vapor, by means of machinery, Is mhch
too dangerous to be carried on in the cellar OF
q house. Only when the apparatus IS quite
tight and working .perfectly-a condition not
likely to be of very long cOntinuance-can a
few hours of safety be hoped for. mere de-
rangement of the valves may precipltate de-
structiOn, as it did a few years ago
in the suburban Westinghouse OF an officer
of one of our fire insurance companies. In
that case the air used in mixing was drawn
by the air-pump of the machinery from within
the cellar where tho mixing took place. Va
rious precautions have been devised to guard
against this class of accidents, for just as
soon as the proportion of air to vapor Is SIX
to one, the mixture becomes more explosive
than gunpowder. A pint of gasoline
will penetrate 900 cubic feet Of air,
and make the whole of it explosive. The sue
cess of the gas-making machine is only in It's
capacity to mix smaller proportion of air
with the vapor. But the danger that such a
process may not be conducted with the re-
CURED nicely and freedom from leakage, is so
obvious, that commOn-sensc would seen to die
tate its removal to considerable distance
from any dwelling house or building Of value.

was undoubtedly the greater, ana MS mihd
il was which utilized Mrs. Wade's industry.
But it must have been everything to MIN
that she felt such a lively interest III
matters which were the business of his life, that
she could be inteligently consulted upon points
about which not many women know any
thing, and that while she was proud Oh
his Success she knew just how he had
succeeded and why he was deservedly famous
There are other distinguished Senators whose wives
are proud of eirstinctiOn but who do not exactly
comprehend how it has been attained. They arc
not without valuable influence OH their husbands,
and do much by social talents to promote their
success but it is not always that these estimable
ladies' read their husbands speeches, or would
in the least comprehend them if they did.
The politics of these wives are, OF course,
tho politics of their lords but they are en-
tcrtained in the female bosom in rather an INDEFINITE
way, and are taken pretty much upon trust. MT.
Wade was fortunate in wife who sympatblzed
with him entirely in the opinions which. all ms NE
he so stOutly entertained.
We have said that wives who have been the
valuable assistants of public men III tho discharge
of public duties have not been many, but perhaps
they have been more numerous than Is geneiiShy
suspected. At any rate it is matter worth l0oklDg
into by the careful student Of biography. The
investigation would probably disclose many another
instance like that which we have mentioned, OF
community of tastes and of toll. Sometimes 1t Is the
wife who deyOtes her time and strength IN TINS
way: sometimes it is the daughter. In the case OF
Herschel, tho astronomer, it was sister. More
than one great man has probably admitted that
he would have been nobody but for the help and
encouragement which he found at home.

II is announced, to-day, that President Hayes
has abandoned all attempts to harmonic the
Renublcan factions in Louisiana, and resolved
to fiji the New-Orleans Offices, not with refer
encc to the wants and wishes of any political
party, as the habit is among Presidents when
they appoint gaugers, but with an eye single
to the public good-an eye fixed, if we may so
sneak, upon some high-tOned and n0n-paItSan
retired merchant who has no friends in the
Custom House, ard does not under
stand the machine. 1t is beautiful
determination, which will, Of course, make
trouble in Congress, and please nobody in
particular in Louisiana, but is nevertheless a
comforting IeItcratlOn of certain principles
Of administration which we have been III
danger Of forgetting. Anything like an at
tempt to harmonic factions" by means of
an appointment would be contrary to the
fundamental theories OF management which
are put forth by some OF the Presidents most
Jealous friends, and it will be satisfactory TO
thcm-if not to the publc-to know that he
is going to let the factions fight it out.
The policy Of the White House has been
somewhat puzzling. According to one cxposi-
ton, apparently made by authority, the highest
function of a President is to wrap himself in
impenctIable reserve and silence, considering
the inner essence Of politics by u prolonged
effort of abstlaction--likc the umbilica philos-
ophers Of India, who raise themselves to
the perfect state by steady contempla-
ton of their navel. The feuds and diff
icutles of parties, the complications of politi-
cal campaigns, the progress of decentralization
in Congress, danger to the National prosperity,
dishonor to the National name, ought to be
matters of Indifference to the incfIable ruler.
These are finite and transient things, and he
is lost in the consideration of eternal verities.
lis true that everything seems to be going
wrong, and the people are even more unhappy
and dissatisfied than the politicians, but no
trouble comes near that calm retreat on the
banks of the Potomac, where the serene and
absorbed Great Chief Clerk sits at the head
of the table, and smiles, and reads the Cincin-
natl platform.
This is the picture which is drawn of the
Administration by some of the Presidents
friends. But once in while the public is adj
mitted to closer view, and then We discover.

Il NEN1IORN UIEE.

Most of the biographical sketches of The late Mr.
Wade mention that nc married Miss Rosencranz, and
that he was forty-one years Old almost an old bach
elor and she thirtyseven, almost an old maid, when
the nuptia knot was tied. She lived with him for
thirty-seyen years-that fact too, is stated in the
"sketchesn but how useful a hclpmeet and help
mate she was not more than very generally
narrated. IL is rather an important fact
that Mrs. Wade was her busy husbands secretary
assistant reader, and it may almost be SAID right
hand. Senator Wade had an almost invincible an
tipathy to putting pen to paper. He had an almost
equal Discrimination to search books. This drudgery
Mrs. Wade cheerfully assumed. When her husband
had great speech in hand, it his wife who fur
nished him with the materials. which he afterward
arranged, assimilated and systcmatized. Great
things are told of her skill in this respected her
tact industry, patience.

TIE NEW-H1MPSHIRE ELECTION

Tomorrow the first State election of the
year takes place, when New-liampShIre VIII
elect Governor and Legislature. The cam
paign has been dull, and neither party has
seemed Oyer-confdcnt of success. Toward the
last however, the set of the tide has seemed
to be decidedly in favor of the Republicans,
and there is hope of as full vote
as or stagnant politics will permit.
There ought TO be no question OF a
vote full enough 10 secure victory. No Repub-
lican, whatever his views as TO the National
Administration should fail to go to the polls
end do his part toward holding the Granite
State firmly in the Republican column.
This is not a time TO throw away
votes. The dangers to which triumph
of the Democracy, through an alliance with
the Solid South would expose the country,
make it the imperative duty OF the hour TO
keep the Republican party together and do
whatever is possible to promote its ascend
ancy. No New England State should at this
time give way. New-lIampshire gave Gov
ernor Prescott a plurality last year of more
than 1000 votes, and the year before gave
Governor Cheney a plurality of 5000. a
State which did better in the political collapse
OF 1871 tllan IN lnc Ddiu-iouSH' Stdi VI 1O' u
ought to do well in 1878.
Republicans who were not aroused to en-
thusiasm by the high-handcd manner in which
| the Administration men carried on the Con-
| vention should remember that a Republican
defeat tomorrow will be interpreted as a
defeat of the Republican party, rather
than Of the Administration. it is true that
the management of the Convention in this re-
spect was as unwise az the vehement denuncia-
ton poured ont upon one Of the very men
who has been most active III organizing vie
tory in w-IIampshire, and true, also, that
the foolish use Of this attack by Republican
journals outside the State only made matters
worse. Let it be remembered, however, above
all things, that Republican victory will be q
victory Of the organization no Republican
should willingly see his comrades march Il
defeat. Ii is time to heal disputes-nOt, tC
| eInbtter them; for factions to forget Their
rivalIics i'll zeal for the common cause. The
Republican party is in need OF the strength
which resides in uniOn.--But whatever may
happen on election day, NewilampShiro l.
unauestonably Republican. IL it waivers thi,
time, the disaster can only be due TO dc policy
Of dividing our own army instead OF the eli
