The Daring SkObeieff.

Lieutenant Greene's Russian Army Life.rl
His personal bravery was not only Of the most
reckless character, but at times it seemed to
partake or the mereSt brayado. in which only
extraordinary luck prevented him from reaping
In death the WeiEearne0 reward OF his foolish

hat. and rode white horse in battle, simply
because other Generals usually avoided these

Hygiea. Hygiea.
Most exigent one.

Thou pOkeSt thy fun.
Oh is it thy will
To make noodles of us,
By urging us still
80 TO worry and fuss
concerning our bodies,
What's eaten, what's drunk,
Until we're mere nOddies
III chronic blue funk,
Hygiea, thou'rt clever;
But, twixt you and me,
TO fidget forever
Is fiddle de dee.
We mustn't eat this,
And We mustn't drink that,
Lest sound health we should miss,
Grow too thin, or too fat,
Must go in for analysis

Lest we court cramp, paralysis,
Fever or govt,
Mustn't travel by rail,
Must shun riding in cabs;

If mortal Il think
Could such vigilance keep,
He would meier eat or drink,
He would ne'er talk or sleep,

And if l stop grubbing

With thee i agree,
Pure air and cold water
Are needful to me;
But perpetual worry
Bout stomachs and nerves,
And this, that and 'tOther,
No good purposes serves.

Though I'd an idea
The number was less.
But to square work and feast
By the rules thou art giving,
Would take nine lives at least,
And not one much worth living.

official positions brought them into close

for thinking that he will be a better
President next year than he was four
years ago, This is the question that un-
decided Republicans ask themselves, and
to this reasonable inquiry the address
makes no reply. II one were to judge
from what it says, Grants Administration
was without flaw or blemish. Excuses

provoke the distrust of our citizens, for
it indicates that the Grant leaders would

A SPLENDID DEMOCRATIC VIC.
TORY,

The election held in Albany, New
York, on the 18th instant, was Of the
sweeping" kind. Every man on the
city ticket obtained majorities ranging
from 4,lS3 for Mayor down tc 1000, the
lowest, for Police Commissioner. Out of
seventeen Aldermen, fifteen are Demo-
Gratis. Just enough Republicans, as the
Argus expresses it, having been elected
ito show that entrance was made by that
party, but it did not go far enough to
get any gate money" This triumph,
which secures the ascendency of Democ-
racy in the Capital city, is all the more
significant, because it denotes the return
of the Greenbackers and Workingmen,
who in previous elections had bolted
from the party. 1t further shows a con-
solidation and organization Of Democratic
forces which will tell in the future settle
ment of State and National issues. The
party in that city is now reunited and
knit together in fraternity, and is hence
forth indomitable. In discussing the
results of this important election, the
Argus says:
From a party and public view the result
is magnificent. 1t teaches, inspires and
examples the party throughout the State.
Courage for principle and consideration to-
ward all sincere men, contain the open
secret Of Democratic harmony and assured
Democratic victory. Timidity on principle
or treaty with traitors to the party, will de-
nude the party of self-respect, and Of either
the chance or the desert Of victory. Act
ing, or saying, or limiting that right-doers
were wrong. or wrong-doers right, will do
the same. Harboring the heresy that die
tation or boiling is justified, because threat
ened in advance, will do the same. The
party will win the State and National Gov
ernments by an avoidance Of these blum
ders in its own polity, and by a rally on its
t~ime-honored principles, under candidates
who will put it en- rapport with the temper
and tones of the best minds in American
life. But to be either a Safeguarding,
or q Nation-governing party, it must be q
self-governing party. The majority prin-
ciple, in its OWL ranks, mnst be absolutely
respected, for the people to crown it with
a majority Of their votes. And until, and
unless this principle be recognized and
ratified, success will neither be achieved
nor deserved by the party.
