Baby. waking in the dark,
Heard one night big dog Dark.
"Let her cweep." she soNlysaid,
"In you bed, for she IS iald'
Nestled close to mamma dear,
Baby sleeps, and knows no fear.
Rosy morning lights the skies
And opens darling baby eyes.
Just as bright as any skies
Are our darling's starry eyes,
Just as fair as any day
Are the curls that round them play.
Now next night she waking thought
How nice to leave her lonely cot.
And creeps into her mammas bed
Oh. shall tell you what she said?
What little baby fb
Trundled of her tongue, 50 glib7
But the truth it must be told
And babys only two years old.
And the night was dark and long
And she didn't know twas 'rong-
So this is what the darling said,
Lying in her little bed.
Though no voice of dog was heard,
Though no sound the night AIR stirred,
Came a whisper in the dark:
Mamma, she fink she hear dog bark.
Who could withstand the childish plea
I'm certain neither you nor me.
In mammals bed all in the dark,
She crecps, COS sh' fink She hear dog bark

POLITICAL PARAaRAPns.

BsG@ln forty-nine counties of Michi-
gan this year the Republicans have
elected 540 Supervisors to 357 chosen
by all the other parties--a Republican
net gain OF lOS Supervisors as compared
with last year.
Bd~While the Senate appears to be
peculiarly sensitive to the removal of
little lniuns out West to the public
schools without the consent of their
parents, it doesn't seem to care con-
per about the removal of Republican
parents to the graveyard down South,
without the consent of their children.
But the country can't expect the ven
cradle old Democrats of the Senate to
swell with virtuous Indignation in two
different directions at once.-Detrott
Post md Tribune.
RAY The regular Democratic Con-
vention in New York did Mr.. Tilden's $
bidding. 1t did not formally instruct
its delegation to present his name, but
it ordered it to act as a unit and saw to
it that his friends were in the majority.
1t adroitly made all things sure for him,
and this without affording any pretext
for bolt within its ranks. It's pro-
ceedings afford another illustration of
the power of Mr.. Tilden's political skill
and resources" and Indicate the
strength of his hold upon the machinery
of the Democratic party,--DetroH Post
and Tribune.
BsS@ Senator Voorhees, ought to pass
into history as $4,000 Voorhees,. That
is the sum his exodus investigation cost
the country, without a single point of
value to show in return. He started
out with the pretense of serving the
colored men. His real object was to
disprove their right TO migrate from one
State to another He has spent $40 900
of the peoples money without estab-
fishing anything whatever. He has
simply proven himself capable of squan-
dering $40, 900. As squanderer of
public money he is a success, but as
subserver Of any public interest he is
failure. He should be known and STYLED
hereafter as $4,000 Voorhees,. s.--I11dia,a-
apOES Journal.
Bs5HWhen the State Committee dared
not shut the doors of the Syracuse Con-
vention against regular delegates and
admit paper delegations, Mr.. Tilden's
" Ear L bought them, no matter what
the price. In the Dutchess and Colum.
bia District the price went above ST.
800. We heard it stated that it cost
Mr.. Tilden and his friends over $780,
600 to get control of the delegation to
Cincinnati. At this rate it will cost q
nice sum to control the Cincinnati Con-
ventiOn. Of course it is perfectly
proper for a man who ran in 1876 as a
reform candidate to buy nomina-
ton if he can; we do not believe it pos
sible for Mr.. Tilden to buy or steal a
nomination at Cincinnati, and if that
were possible, the "bar'r' is not large
enough to buy his election. The course
adopted at Syracuse renders it very
doubtful whether the State of New
York can be carried for any Democrat
who is likely to receive a nomination.
