BENNY.

I had told him Christmas morning,
as he sat upon my kaee,
FL olfing fast his little stockings,
Stuffed as full as full could be,
And attentive listening to me,
With face demure and mild.
That Old Santa Claus, who filled them
Did not love naughty child.
But we'll be good, won't we, mode-?'
And from off my my lap he slid,
Digging deep among the goodies
In his crimson stocking hid:
While turned me to my table,
Where tempting goblet stood.
Brimming high with dainty egg-nog.
Sent ne by neighbor good.
But the kitten, there before me,
With his white paw nothing 10th,
Sat, by way of entertainment,
Swapping off the shining froth;
And in not the gentlest humor,
at the loss OF such treat,
confess, I rather rudely
Thrust him out into the street.
Then, how Bennie's blue eyes kindled.
Gathering up the precious store,
He had busily been pouring
In his tidy pinafore.
With generous look that shamed me,
Sprang he from the carpet bright,
Showing, by his mein indignant,
All baby's sense OF right.
"Come back, Harneyl" called he loudly,
As he held his apron white.
g. You shall have my candy wabbitl"
But the doer was fastened tight;
So he stood absshed aud silent,
In the centre of the floor,
With defeated look alternate
Beat on me and on the door.
Then, as with some sudden impulse,
Quickly ran he to the fire,
And while eagerly his bright eyes
Watched the flames go nigh and higher,
In brave, clear key he shouted,
Like some lordly little elf,
"Santa Klaus, come down the chimney,
Make my moier have herselfi"
ST will be good girl, Benny"
Said 1, feeling the reproof,
And / straigh called poor Harvey.
Mewing on the gallery roof.
Soon the anger WAS forgotten,
Laughter chased away the frown,
And they ganbolled meath the live oaks,
Till the dusky night came down.
In nv dim, frelighted chamber,
Harvey purred beneath my chair,
And my play-worn boy beside me,
Knels to say ais evening prayer;
"God bess fader, God bees moder,
God bess sister, and then pause,
And the young lips devoutly
Murmured, God bess Santa Klaus"
he is sleeping-brown and silken
Lie the lashes long and meek,
Like caressing clinging shadows
On his plump and peachy cheek;
And bend ABOVE him weeping
Thankful tears-O, undecided
For woman's crown OF glory,
For the blessing of child.

"Where is this dress you spoke ofY'
asked Aaron. Laboski led the way up
fremont aud down a side street to an
unpretentious store, the front of which
he had haunted many times of late.
They entered, and Paul, with conscious
pride, bought the dress, paid for it, and
had it wrapped up in bundle. Then
it was Aaron's turn. The old bachelor
blushed as he asked, Let me see some
good wooden stockings for girls" He
turned and winked to Paul when the
price was announced for ten pairs of me-
rino hose; but none the less he bought
them. A whispered consultation with
the girl in waiting resulted in the rolling
up Of a very large package of flannel
and white linen. Then the pawn broker
purchased toilet soap, work box, q
silver thimble, velvet rabbit with q
solid head into which needles might be
thrust and secured, rufdes, delicately
painted fan, an eighth of pound of
pins, high carved comb, belt with a
gorgeous gilt clasp, an embroidery pat
tern portraying spaniels chasing 8
very funny auckland everything else
in the store which his bachelor magma
ton coupled with the female desires.
There were many other stores visited,
among them the milliner's, the shoe
dealers, the book store (where we pur-
chased sumptuous edition of "Swiss
Family Robinson" which Aaron re-
called with the liveliest pleasure, but
which, shall I confess it, Josephine never
really liked) and lastly, the CONNECTION.

Some interesting trials with carrier
pigeons have lately been made in Ger

pigeons, after being confined for some
time at a point distant from their proper
home, would still return to it when
liberated. Accordingly l49 birds were
carried from Aix-la-Chapelle to Metz,
and liberated after a months confne-
ment. BY the morning Of the day fol-
lowing 1874 had returned to their cots in

first having flown from Metz to AK la

THE MAINE ELECTIoN.

An election takes place to-day away
down east in Maine for Governor and
members Of the Legislature. There are
three candidates in the field for
the Governorship- Garcelon, Democrat,
Davis, Republican, and Smith, Green
hacker. The campaign has been a
spirited one, and, according to all re-
ports, considerable money has been
used to convince voters that the Re-
publican candidate is the only honest
= and incorruptible one in the field for
Governor. The Administration has
taken lively interest in this election.
John Sherman, Secretary of the Treas
Jury, visited the State in Government
vessel and spoke on the issues involved
in the election in the large cities.
The situation is somewhat similar
to that of California. The Republic
cans are well organized, while
the opposition is divided. The
Greenback party, like the Working
men in California, has drawn most of it's
strength from the Democrats This is
proved by the votes for Governor in the
three years last past. = In 1876 the Re-
publican vote was Is, S67, and the Dem
ocratic vote, 1923, while the Green
hackers polled only 533 votes. In 1878
the Republican vote was Sc, 554, while
the Democratic vote was reduced to
: 28, 2OS, and the 'Greenback vote was in
creased to 4l,37l.
Under the Constitution of Maine a
candidate to be elected must receive a
majority of all the votes cast for the
office to which he aspires. As none of
the candidates for Governor in 1878 re-
ceived majority, the Legislature elect
ed Garcelon, Democrat to that posi-
ton, and he is now candidate for re-
election. 1t is probable that there will
be no choice by the people to-day, and
that the duty of electing a Governor
will again devolve upon the Legisla-
ture. Great interest is taken in the
election in consequence of the influence
it may have on tine Presidential ques-
ton. If Maine goes against the Repub-
hcans, Blaines Presidential prospects
will be nipped in the bud, particularly
ID Ohio goes Republican in October, in
which event Sherman will have the in
side track in the Presidential race.

The noted Dalrymple farm, on the
Northern Pacific Railroad, employs
400 men during the present harvest,
and would use 600 more but for self
binders. 1t has lis self-binding reapers
and 20 steam threshers. The farm con-
tains IS more acres in space than the
original District of Columbia. Ground
was first broken in 1873. This year
more than 90 600 acres are in crops.
The owner will ship 500. 900 bushels of
wheat this year to New York at a
profit of $4,000. In reaping, each ma
chine takes an eight-foot sweep and
cuts fifteen acres . day. Twenty-one
machines work simultaneously on a
square mile patch, running one after
another.

BADLY MIXED.

The election in California was badly
mixed, though the Republicans get the
lions share in the division of offices.
They have the Governor and at least
three members of Congress, and possibly
a majority of the Legislature. The
Democrats have majority of the Su-
preme Court, probably one-fourth of
the members of the Legislature and
possibly one member of Congress. The
Workingmen have one of the three
Railroad Commissioners, about one
fourth of the members of the Legisla-
ture and the greater part of the county
and municipal officers, including Mayor,
of San Francisco. The New Constitu-
tion party elected four or five members
of the Legislature, which is all they re-
ceve of the spoils. Owing to the
divisions in the opposition, the Repub-
licans, though in minority in the
State, get nearly all the fat places and
the control of the State Government.
Kearney did his work well and III :
doubleday has been well paid for the
assistance rendered by him to the cor

in San Francisco on election day that
the tools of the corporations worked as
hard for Beerstecher for Railroad Com
missioner as they did for Perkins, as
they had no hopes of electing Phelps
and hoped through Kearney to control
the Workingmen's candidate if he was
elected.

Fl
Martin, of the House Labor Commit
tee, arrived ct Washington last Satur.
day. He said that at San Francisco
the principal topic of conversation was
as to the effect of Chinese immigration.
Farmers, tradesmen, merchants, ped
dlers, miners and workmen all agreed
that they could not hold their own
against the Cinnamon, and without in
tending anything of the sort, they bore
the strongest testimony of the. skill,
business capacity. industry, patience,
endurance and frugality of the moon
eyed lepers. In fact, it is the good
qualities of the Chinese that the most
fault was found with. Whether the
good qualities are so undesirable that
immigrants possessing them ought to
be excluded from the country, is a great
question for Congress and the govern.
ment, but there is little doubt that the
feeling against the Cinnamon among the
working class in California is very bit.

some establishment has been expressed at the

wonder now is that he can make 50 favorable a

AFTER he took charge OF the diocese OF Ohio.
S'oe,0oo had been received in deposit under his

warning TO beware OF compound Interest is of
general application. The story OF the youth
