A NRw-nnnLEY CIRCULAR.

Ii IL not about time for United States
Marshal Dudley, in behalf of the Republican
party in Indians, TO get up another circular?
he has probably found out by this time
How many negroes you have IN your pre-
cinct
What is the politics of your school-msster.
What about your telegraph operator. Is
hs sound on the 'smain" question?
And now we would suggest to Mr.. John
G. New. the chairman OF the Radical State
Central committee, to have Mr.. United
States Marshal Dudley get up another circu-
lar and have the questions run about as
follows:
Report number Of darkies since last cir
cular.
How many have died with diphtheriaS
How many with scarlet fever?
How many negro children have been
born, and died from exposure, as was the
case on Ray street, indianapolis, a few days
ago, and reported in the Sentinel
Have any infants been porn in your pre-
cinct" with only bit of rag to wrap them
In at birth, similar to the case reported in
the Sentinel few days ago?
How many white men have been forced
out of employment in your precinct to
make vacancies for North Carolina Degroes2
These questions must be answered in
cipher. In the words OF my last circular, !
conclude:
"Please give this matter your immediate
attention, and talk with none about this
particular work You know not who can be
trusted. Let Us get tbis work done, the re-
suit accomplished, and then we can safely
talk about it

except John Sherman. To emphasize this
conclusion. we notice that the feeble
minded Journal, in its Sundays Issue, at
tscks the public schools and doubts If
they are the "bulwarks Of the Republic
Dudley is doubtless to be helped by the
feeble minded journal in his work of
strengthening the bulxsrk. Toe demand
should be that Dadley should be required
to mind his own business and attend to his
catch EN- and hold hold EN- duties when his
master HES him on. His inquiry as to the
politics of Indiana schoolmasters is an imper
thence and an insult, but 1t discloses pur-
pose on the part o. Republican scallawags to
debauch the pubic schools OF the State and
TO degrade them TO the level Of Republican
recruiting stations

Forbes, the noted Edinburgh banker. As
Scott was well educated young man, of
fine personal appearance and agreeable man
ners, there could be out little reason for CIV
ing the banker preference, except has wealth
and social rank. Scott felt this keenly
through life; in "Rokeby" he revives the
episode at some length, Matilda, the heroine
of the poem, represents the object of his love
who there rejects poet in favor Of one of
higher rank, and this scene becomes doubt
ly interesting as picture of Scots
early experience. In 1871 Lady Forbes died;
but she lived long enough to see the once
penniless barrister the first poet in Scotland
Her death was deeply felt by Scott, for,
although he had been married for II year,
the old fame was not extinguished. "Rokeby"
appeared next year, and Lockhart saws .'that
there is nothing wrought out, in all SCOTS
prose, mora exquisite than the contrast be.
tween the rivals for the hand of the heroine"
Six years afterward Scott wrote thus to Mis-
Edgeworth: Matilda was attempted for the
person of lady who is now no more, so that
/ am fiattered with your distinguishing it."
As this took place nearly 20 years after the
disappointment, 1t illustrates the tenacity
with which the author held to his first love.
When Lady Forbes died Scott was so affected
tudI ne called on ner mother, ana DOTH Tell To
weeping over the sad affair. 1t is a curious
incident in domestic history to see man car
rying his first love so tenderly through life
while married 10 another woman TO whom he
always showed great attachment. Scott evil
IDENTIFY made Matilda the ideal or dream-wife
who accompanied him to the last. Having
recovered from the worst effects of his dis
appointment, he met French girl, whose
father had saved both life and fortune by
fleeing from the dangers of the Revolution.

possible. He appeared. as has been said.
much attached to his wife through life, and
sincerely mourned her death She was, how
ever, intellectually and physically, inferior
to the Scottish ladies of that city, and the
rapid degeneracy of the family may, in some
degree, be ascribed to so unfavorablea union

The Romance in the Life of the Great
Romsncist Sir Walter Scott.

1t is an old saying. Whom first we love
we never Wed" and this, though not strictly
true, may be applied to Scott, Byron, George
Washington and many other men of note.
1t is interesting TO observe how poets gener-
ally present their love matters to the public
The personal experience of such men will
crop out. Scott, for instance, fell deeply in
love in early life with a girl of sristocratie
family, and as he was then merely poor
barrister, there was no prospect of success.
His father, knowing this, and being DESTROYS
to bring the matter TO a close, suggested TO
the parents the propriety of terminating the
acquaintance, and this was done in the least
painful manner The lady was the only
daughter of Sir John Stuart, of Forfarshire,
and she afterward married Sir William

An Old Poker story Retold.

On one of those steamers that plowed the

A Reading Lesson.

Fannie Heath, in Macmillan's Magszine.l
AT an inspection was at last spring in the
neighborhood of London, large class OF
boys and girls were to read to the inspectors
assistant. A boy began: 1.-The potato in
its native soil America is small and not fit
to be eaten" "Oh, stopl try again, said the
teacher, jokingly. 81 thought you were GO
ing to tell me about the potato, not about
America" The boy read it again exactly in
the same way. glanced down the whole
class and saw that not one of the faces
showed that the children knew what was
meant when he was again told he was wrong.
However, the assistant, who was evidently
an experienced teacher, soon brought them
TO understand, and then they were all
amused. But every child must have read
that lesson some dozen times. The facs of
one boy making such mistake was not TO
be wondered at; he might have been shy or
stupid; but that not one of the children could
discover the mistake was somewhat startling.

son the 9th day of May, the president &C

| by Major Donaldson, left the capital in a
steamboat for fredericksburg, Va, where he
was to lay the corner stone Ofthat monument

late lieutenant in the navy, who had been
Gently dismissed the service. Randolph
made his way to the cabin, where he found
the president sitting behind a table reading q
newspaper. He approached the table as If
to salute the president.
90 Excuse me rising sir said the general,
who was not acquainted with Randolph, Il
have n pain in my side which makes it dis
tressing forme to RISE
Randolph made no reply to the courteous
apology, appeared to be trying to take of
his glove.
"'Never mind your glove, SIR said the
general holding out his hand.
"At this time Randolph thrust his hand
violently into the presidents face, intending
as it appeared, to pull his nose. The captain
of the boat, who was standing by, instantly
seized Randolph and drew him back A VIC
lent scufie ensued, during which the table
was broken. The friends of Randolph
clutched him and hurried him ashore before
many of the passengers knew what had oc-
cured, and thus he effected his escape The
passengers soon crowded into the cabin TO
learn if the general was hurt.

was asked whether he had been injured.
"'No,' said he, Il am not much hurt; but

side, which now pains me more than it did
One of the citizens of Alexandria, who
had heard of the outrage, addressed the gen.

"'No, SIR said the president, Il can not do

and my assailants, and none to take revenge
on my account. Had J. been prepared for
this cowardly villains approach, l can assure
you all that he would never have the temer-
ity to undertake such thing again"
Randolph published statements in thenews-
paper of the wrongs which he said he had
ceived at the hands of the Government. The
opposition papers, though condemning the
outrage did not fail to remind the president
of certain passages in his own life which sane
toned resort to violence. Randolph, be-
lieve, was not prosecuted foc the assault. His
friends said that his object was merely to

A LIES LOVE.
FREDERICK LASGBRIDeE.

loved him in my dswning years
Far years, divinely dim;
Ny blithest smiles, my saddest tears,
Were evermore for him.
My dreaming when the day began,
The latest thought had,
Was still some loving plan
To make my darling glad.
They deemed he lacked the conquering wiles
That other children wear
To me his face, in frowns or smiles.
Was never aught but fair,
They said that self WAS all his goal,
He knew no thought beyond;
To me. know, no living soul
Was half so true and fond.
All, many love was mine ere now,
In life's capric Gus May,
And many a lightly whispered vow
The breezes bore away.
Yet looking back on friends betrayed
And sweethearts left to rue,
Ny soul can say, 'In shine or shade,
At least he found me true"
In loves eclipse, In friendships dearth
In grief and feud and bale,
My heart has learnt the sacred worth
OF one that can not fail;
And come what must and cume what may
Nor power, nor praise, nor pelf,
Shall lure my faith from thee to stray,
Ny sweet, my Own-Myself.
