we can make cotton at 5 cents per

is much stronger than few months
ago from the operation of wire pull
ing agencies. People scarcely speak
of Bayard as q candidate nowadays.
Everybody sees that Ewing has de-
stroyed Thurman. AS for Hend-
ricks, he will be lucky if he gets
the second place on the ticket. All
talk of Joel Parker, Mcclellan, Da-
vid Davis or Justice Field is without
foundation. Among Republicans,
Conkling is scarcely counted as a
possible nominee. Four names are
in everyhody's mouth-Grant,
Blaine, Sherman and Washburne.
Only two of of these can be said,
however, to be actually contesting
the field. Washburne must be
looked upon only as highly avail
able compromise candidate. The
Grant boom has spent its force, but
there remains q formidable senti-
ment in his favor. The writer
thinks the contest at present is un-
doub .edly between Blaine and
Sherman, and as both are warm
friends a fu sion of their admirers
is easy, in the case some "dark
horse" develops strength.

NEW YORK, August l4th. In
editorials scanning the business
prospects throughout the country,
the Herald says: Railroad people
tell us the present year will see
more miles of new road built than
any previous year in our history,
except one or two, and to a great
extent the new roads are connec.
tions and feeders of wel!-establshed
trunk lines in the West, whose
completion will open large tracts
of new and fertile lands to prolita-
bic settlement. Within year or
fourteen months, probably the
Northern Pacific will be in opera
tion, having just closed contracts
for two hundred miles of each end
of that road with the promise eff
filling intermediate space within a
year.

The way is long, my darling,
The road is rough and steep,
Aud fast across the evening sky
see the shadow sweep.
But oh! my love, my darling,
No i'll to us can come,
No terror turn us from the path,
For We are going home.
Your feet are tired, my darling,
so tired thy tender feet;
But think, when we are there at last,
How long the rest, and sweet
For 10! the lamps are lighted
And yonder cleaning dome,
Before us shining like star,
Shall guide our footsteps home.
We've lost the flowers We gathered
So early in the morn:
And on We go, with empty hands,
And garments suil.d aud worn;
But oh, the dear All Father
Will out to meet us come,
And faircr flowers and winter robes
There wait for us at home.
Art cold, my love, and famished'
Art faint, and sore athirst'
BE patient Yet little while,
And Joyous as the first;
For Oh, the sun set never
Within that land of bloom,
And thou shalt eat the bread of life,
And drink llfc's wine AT home.
The wind blows cold. my darling,
AdowH the mountain steep,
And thick across the evening sky
The larkening shadows creep;
But OH my love, press onward,
Whatever trials come,
For in the way the Father set
We two are going home.

London Saturday Review.

Lobuoh satHfuay REVIEW.
Putting commercial considera.
tons aside, and looking merely at
social ones, how great an alteration
will there be in the ways of civil.
lied beings if flying is brought
within the reach Of all who can buy
an engine and some durable wings.
To take the most poetic relation of
life, what o different thing will
courtship he when lovers seek the
clouds, as of course they will, and.
when vows are exchanged in the
air. Lord Lytton tried to describe
something of this kind, but his
hero was clumsy fellow who could
not learn how to manage his wings,
and constantly bad to be caught
by the woman who loved him.
Very different will be the case with
the vigorous, well trained young
Englishman, who will take the Ia
dy whom he admires out TO fly, just
as ladies are now taken out for q
drive, or will, perchance, urge his
suit when lowering outside her
second floor window, and will perch
on the sill to learn his tate. Then,
in the more prosaic part of life, in
the more ordinary routine Of com.
mon place existence, what strange
alterations will occur! Our ances.
tors would have laughed ut any
one who had told them that the
time had come when the thropgs
in the streets would have under
their feet men of business who
were being dragged to and from
their daily work; and it is equally
difficult for us to conceive that per-
haps in the next century the peace
ful ramblers by Regents Park will
find the sky overhead suddenly
darkened at a certain time in the
afternoon by the great fiocks of
city men who are flying to their
homes in the far Northwest.
There will, of course, be some
inconvenience from the general
acquisition of the powers of fight;
but, then, every great change
brings with it certain amount of
suffering. Thus it is terrible to
picture the feelings Of the qniet
honse holder of the future when he
learns that q large number of
schoOlboys have recently been let
loose, and are flying about the
neishbOrbood; or that the crew of q
man Of war recently paid of have
bought aerial machines, and may
appear Mt any moment. Such draw.
backs as these, will, however, be
trifling when compared with the
vast advantages which men will
gain from the possession of wings.
Perhaps the most striking of
these will he the facility which will
I've given for the pursuit and detec.
ton of crime. 1t is not easy to
picture a flying policeman, or to
imagine injunctions to move OH
coming from above the chimney
pots; but it is perhaps possible to
realize how perfect a feeling Of Sc
cnrity the inhabitants of London
will have when they know that all
over the metropolis watchful in
spectors are poised in mid-air, and
, that soaring constables are con
stantly on the lookout. Let it be
hoped that when these days come
men will not forget to whom they
.. owe so much, and will regard the
! members of the Aeronautical Soci
ETY. as benefactors Of humanity
and worthy of enduring fame.

Hon. VIM. f. Dodge stated at .
temperance meeting in New York
recently, that Americans spend
600, 900. 900 every year in intoxi-
eating drinks. This is e176 for
each man, woman and child in the
United States. The statement is
probably not overdrawn, and it
would therefore appear that tax
payers, who have to pay the cost of
the crime which this gigantic con-
sumption of fire. water entails, ought
to be deeply interested in diverting
that 600, OOO,O 900 to a more noble
use.
