SEYMOUR AND HENDRICKS.

A Washington correspondent o
the Cincinnati Enquirer says thai
one of the most curious statements
yet advanced, why the Seymour
boom should be encouraged By
Democrats, and that Seymour
should be the Democratic nominee
was made by New York politician
in this city to-day. Said he: "The
ticket must be Seymour and Hen
bricks. Seymour can sit in his home
i'll Utica, and without an effort on
bis part, can carry New York.
What the Democracy needs is the
use of his name. Ii he will go at
the head of the ticket, solely as a
tigure-head, the ticket of Seymour
and Hendricks can be elected.
Hendricks can carry Indiana. Such
a ticket would keep the South from
breaking up, because with the solid
vote of the Southern States there is
no doubt of its election. The OBJ
lection is urged that Seymour is too
old. Well, he is not too old to be
voted for. The plan will be, in my
Judgment, that Seymour will con-
sent to act as figure head, and
that, if he is elected, he will resign
the Office and Hendricks will be-
come the President. With such an
understanding as this, Hendricks
will run second. People may laugh
at this proposition now, but the
Democracy have either got to come
to it or accept Grant"
The same authority SAYS that Sey-
mour and Hendricks are very warm
trends; that the former has been
very warm admirer of Hendricks,
and will go into such a scheme to
try and save the Democratic ticket,
# his friend Hendricks is to be the
beneficiary.

TOBACCO SEIZURES.

The internal revenue officers made
several large seizures of tobacco in
New Orleans last Monday. 1t APP
pears that the manufacturers, after
receiving the leaf tobacco in hogs
heads, have been in the habit Of
COMPRISING it. before shipment, in
order to lessen the space occupied
and thus save freight charges, after
the fashion of comprising cotton.
They would then replace it in the
hossbeads and ship it to Mexico,
where it was sold direct to con-
sumers, who seem to prefer it. in
this condition, over the manufac-
tured article. The revenue officers
claim that by COMPRISING the to-
bacco, the manufacturers placed it
in a condition to be consumed. 1t
seems to us that they might, with
the same propriety, claim that com
pressed lint cotton was placed in a
condition to be worn. The Mexi-
cans prefer to consume the tobacco
in its raw state. and the simple act
of COMPRISING does not make it a
manufactured article. 1t might, ac-
cording to the same line of argu-
ment, be claimed that compressed
cotton was manufactured article,
shonld the behests of fashion make
it the proper thing for the fair sex
to envelope themselves in the raw
material.

bara that she would have goo6
day for sewing. She doesn't think
it worth while to set even the dining
room table for us"
Don't you wish she would spill
ink on that dress, Philip" was the
answer. Then she wouldn't wear
it any more"
"No, indeed; | don't want it any
worse, for she would wear it all the
same on rainy days and when papa
is away"
Now mamma, in the next room,
heard this discussion of the chill
dren, and arose to take Il survey of
hers, If i'll the looking-glass. 1t was
not very pleasing picture that the
polished surface gave back to her
view.
''Now Harry Wallace's mother"
said Philip, lis always dressed
nicely, any time of the day."
She wears such pretty bows on
her hair and neck" said Alice.
But she isn't half as pleasant as
our mother" she added loyalty, ''if
she does look prettier"
The mothers eyes glistened as
she looked down ON the old wrap

children, too. Who would have
thought they were such sharp little
Things? Tney notice every tritie."
Mrs. Montgomery's spirit was
quite stirred. She would not allow
such a rival, she said, If she could
eclipse her.
"You shall be disappointed about
the old wrapper for once, Mr.. Phil
ip," she added, smiling; SO she took
u soft, bright dress, just the thing
to enliven dull day. Then she
proceeded to dress herself with care
and simple neatness.
Mrs. Aiuntgomery's face wore a
brighter look than usual that day.
as she entered the nursery. Her
dress had actually raised her spir-
its; but she was hardly prepared
for the burst of admiration that
greeted her. 1t is not often that
compliments are as sincere and
heartfelt as were those of her little
ones that day. But the children's
tones quickly changed to one of

tro,na,.
Midnight shadows fall dark and drearily
Upon the bleak sea-girt shore,
And TREMENDOUSLY the pillows DASH.
Chanting their tempestuous lore.
The storm fiends laugh loud in angry
glee,
As they speed on courser clouds;
And, whitening the oceans bosom,
Fast come the mariners shrouds.
One paced the shifting sands who needed
Not lightning, storm-peltins rain
But sought surcease in tn elements
strife,
For his poor hearts beating pain;
And louder far than roaring of waves,
And the whistling winds above.
Rose the refrain of his sad'ning song,
'Oh, my own love. my lost lover
Still louder roared the angry pillows,
Surging on the sandy shore;
And chilly and gray the morning dawns
Upon him, alive no more
The rising sun agolden light casts
On the pale face from above
Ne'er more the poor breaking heart shall
wall,
"Oh. my own love. my lost love -

mo, dears, / am going 10 sew on
the machine all day; so we can have
d nice time together"
Little Alice hung over her chair
admiringly. and fingered her but
tons, as she said, with smile of
deep content in her eye: "
"You look nice, mamma"
Mrs. Montgomery smiled as she
threaded the needle of her machine,
while Philip added, proudly:
'.She looks nicer than Harry,si
mother, even when she has her silk
dress ON"
That was reward enough; she
had eclipsed her rival.
I'll remember this days lesson
said the mother, in her own heart.
And she did remember it.
Mothers, when you allow your
selves slovenly ways among the lit
tie ones in the seclusion of the nur-
sery, remember there's child
there ''takin notes" These notes
will be read, even when your head
lies low. Of all the bright pictures
that hang on memory's wall. there
is none to me SO fair as a sweet, low
in mother, whose appearance was
always neat and tasteful, even in
working dress. Children may love
an untidy mother, after a fashion,
but they can never respect her. She
cannot keep the hold on them in
after years that one of the opposite
habit possesses. Besides, if you ARE
untidy yourself, they will probably
grow up to initiate you. Don't ne
gleet the details of dress. that add
so much to the appearance, simply
because there will be mo one about
but the children"

THE GEORGIA GOLD MINEs.-There
has been surprising development
of the gold fields of Georgia. From
"A yield of 100000 in bullion four
years ago. the yield is now over
81, 900, 600 per annum and is rapidly
increasing. New mines are being
opened and new veins discovered.
The mining operations extend from
Oslethorpe and Wilkes on the
right, to the Alabama line on the
left, leaving little doubt that the
whole of Upper Georgia is rich with
gold-bearing quartz.
