SOMEBODY'S BOY.

Is somebody g mother thinking, that some
body's boy gets tight,
While somebody's boy is drinking, some
where or other tonight?
Who was that somebody's Juggling, too heavy
a load to-day
OF brandy and rum and hugging the posts
on the corner, eli?
Who is that handsome young fellow, the
handsOmest face we meet,
Who comes home so late and mellow, he
can hardly keep his feet?
Who is that somebody Keeling, first from the
left TO the right,
With empty pockets, yet feeling as rich as
Croesus tonight?
All! pavements have grown unsteady, they
wave like wind blown sheet;
And have i,.terfered already, with some
body's drunken feet.
And still TO the world his drinking, is nei-
Their here nor there;
But somebody's pa, Pm thinking, or sister
or mother would care;
He'll make tomorrow that patent, and he'll
come down stairs all right,
And look almost like he hadn't been out ON
tare all night.
And somebody's mother or sister, when told
that their brother gets sight,
Are almost inclined to blister your cheeks
with their hands outright.
But somebody's sins are wearing, the jew
els of life away;
And somebody's boy wayfaring, will die in
the streets some day.

Bpccial Correspondence Of He 0ssERvgR
WAsmxGToN, d. c., November G, 1879.
The New York Tribune is
much relieved by the fact that
It's party, by aid Of Democratic
division and a bolt Of 10000, has
elected its candidate for Govern
or Of New York. 1t now feels
confident Of carrying the State
next year. The assumption that
because not very badly beaten
this year, the party will succeed
next year, is as the boys say,
"too thin" But the Tribune is in
earnest and now proposes to drop
Grant, and take up its old favo-
rite, Blaine. 1t says-"Best Of
all, the Republicans have no oc-
casion now to nominate any 9TH
cr than their ablest and worthiest
man, for it is certain that with
such a candidate they can tri-
umph. They do not need to get
under the shelter Of any name,
nor TO hesitate in the avowal of
their. conviction, nor to shrink
from giving IFS full reward to
splendid service"
Many in and out of The Re
publican party, will not agree
with the Tribune that Senator
Blaine is its abIcst and wcrthicst
man, but all will admit that TO
his party he has rendered SPLEEN
did service. The "boom" in the
Senator's case is a growing one.
In all the Northern States
which voted on Tuesday, the
radical party gained. 1t carried
all Of the States except the most
important one - New York.
There, Notwithstanding dissen-
sions in the Democratic party,
and the losses that always follow,
we have probably thrown more
votes than the radicals by from
5000 to 10000. No new qucs-
ton arising between this time
and next November. we may
with confidence count ON the
vote Of New York and Indiana,
and probably not upon any other
in the North. These are enough
with the votes Of all the Southern
States.
The Pest Of this city gives
currency TO the absurd rumor.
concerning Southern men and
Gen. Grant, as follows: "Therc
is said to be strong talk among
prominent Southern Democrats
of endorsing Gen. Grant for the
Presidency i'll case he is taken
up by the Republicans. They
say this will certainly be done
should Mr.. 1ildcn succeed in
capturing the Democratic con-
vcntion. 1t is believed by Gen.
Grants friends that under such
circumstances he would not hes
itate to accept the nomination."
Stories Of this kind, false as
they Of course are, do nothing
but mischief. The Post should
brand them as false, instead of
publishing them without COM
mcnt.
1t was said that Gen. Grant
had an ''important message" toI
the people, and would deliver it |
as soon as he got to Chicago. |
Many, during the few hours the
story was current, supposed that
he would then decline to have !
his name used in connection
with the Presidency. But the
General never declines ANYTHING
III advance, or at any other time.
1t is proposed to give a grand re-
ception to Senator Bayard, on
his return from Europe. Sena-
tor Bayard is a very able and
perfectly honest man, and, as ev-
erybody knows, has the esteem
of every one of his associates in
the Senate. MCKAY.
