Who Did Take Him !

few days ago, says the Detroit Free
 Press, boy about ten years of age, lame and
 sickiy, who had been living with his mother in rooms in the city, found himself alone in the world. The lad was too ill to ride in tho one poor carriage which followed the body to the grave, yet no one thought his condition serious. After the funeral, number of per sons gathered in the poverty-stricken room where he lay weeping to see what disposition could be made of him. If he wasn't lame I'd take him into my family,'' observed one of the men, in a tone that seemed to blanc the boy for his misfortune. ''Well, it's aw- ful hard, sighed one of the women, ''but I know he couldn't get along with my chil- dren." "Nor with mine, added second. If should take hiF1 he'd run up big doc tors bill on me, " said man as he filled his pipe. Each and every one had some excuse The boy heard them all without a word but with quivering chin and eyes full of tears Under one prete1t or another all slipped out and left him alone, promising to have another talk in the morning. Perhaps, that night before they closed their eyes in sleep, some of them thought of the poor lad lying in the dreary room, alone and almost helpless, but if so, none of them went near him. Late in the morning, woman living on the same floor went in to see if he might not want q bite to eat, and the question of who should take care of him was settled God had taken him. Rugged close to the wall, as if he fear ed the midnight shadows, and with eyelashes yet wet, he was dead and cold, no longer burden to any one. The boy too lame to be taken care of on earth-too feeble to earn the crusts that some one would have given him had home better than the best. When they knew that he died alone women bent over him and wept. When they lifted his wasted body from the bed mems consciences smote them for their harsh words, but 1t was too late He had gone from earth feel ing that there was no mercy in the human heart.

AN ALLEGED OPINION BY HANCOCK We are assured by the Democrats tha Hancock is a statesman and has sound opin ions upon the questions of government anc finance which the next President will have tc 1 meet If asked for proof of the truth oi this assertion they 'tpoint with pride' tc "General Order No. 40,' and Hanceck's let ter to Sherman, which documents are appa- rently thought by them to contain about all there is of statesmanship, and considered rather superior to the Declaration of Inde.
 pendence and the Constitution of the United States.
 Having, by this order and this letter, proved himself to be 8 statesman, Hancock
 did not think 1t necessary to furnish any ad-
 ditional evidence in his letter of acceptance,
 and up to this time the American people, who
 are asked to make him their ruler, have been
 left in ignorance as to his views on the ques-
 tions of the time, and, in fact, they have not known that he has any. Industrious search
 CTS after news, have, however, now discov-
 eyed that Hancock has, Cor had, at the begin
 ming of the present year) an opinion con- corning the silver question. In January last
 Dr. Charles P. Culver, well known Demo- cratic lawyer of Washington, ana secretary of the House committee on coinage. weights and measures, delivered an address in review of Secretary Sherman's financial policy, before a Democratic association of the District It was printed and received the indorsement of many prominent Democrats It treats at considerable length both of the silver and National bank questions. Senator Eaton strongly approved the silver section; Sena- tor Thurman indorsed the whole as the happy medium upon which both factions of the par ty could unite Senator Voorhees, was most enthusiastic over the whole pamphlet, and wanted it widely circulated. A copy was sent to General Hancock, and he, through Demo- cratic friends, made known the fact that the views expressed by Dr. Culver in regard to the silver question were ia accordance with his own. This was six months before General Hancock was nominated, but at the time Dr. Culver was quite prominent In 2 movement in Washington looking to his nomination. In the absence of any allusion to the matter since the nomination, it is in- teresting to know that at the beginning of the present year General Hancock was in fa- vor of the unlimited issue of gold and silver coin and bullion certificates based on the full market value of the bullion, and made legal tender for all sums, and applicable to the payment of the public debt.
 In the opinion of the author of this finan- cial scheme, which General Hancock approved, it would stimulate business of all kinds, strengthen public confidence and keep booming the forward movement of indus trial enterprise. Would it, or would it help to prepare the way for another crash soon after the volume of our currency reached $35 per capita, aa proposed

SOUTHERN CENSUS RETURNS.

It was at one of Oil City's hotels that a man, after vainly trying to comb his hair with e broken comb, made the sad remark 'I cannot part with thee. "-Oil City Derrick. A little girl read composition before a minister. The subject was "A Cow" She weaved in this complimentary sentence :- ''The COW is the most useful animal in the world except religion"
 A Western lecturer spoke in praise of gamblers, and an editor declared that the lec- turer did himself honor by so doing. And the lecturer doesn't know just how to take the editors notice-Boston Post.
 At celebration back in the country fe- male orator arose and began ''rhis is our one hundred and fourth anniversary" A wicked young man way back in the crowd yelled out Good gracious You don't look that old. ''-Elmira Telegram.
 The most insulting sort of impudence is tolerated at seaside resorts Have you ta ken bath this morning. is a question that may be asked of a lady at such a place, and it is rarely ever resented. The same question in town would sever friendship and cause somebody to get hurt.-New Orleans Plea yune,

Why, have always plenty of room in an omnibus, but when was young could never ride in one without being crowded or feeling some mans elbows digging into my side. Such things never happen nowadays"
 One of the good citizens of WarehAm, who kept posted in regard to the fasting doctor in New York, told his neighbor (who don't read the papers) that his wife had gone to camp meeting and left him to board himself. His neighbor asks, ''What will you do about it ?' to which the citizen replies "Well, I'll have to Tanner little'' And now that neighbor is telling around town that so and so beats his wife and uses her worse than brute.-New Bedford Standard.
 young German was once pressing his suit, and in the midst of his ardor questioned the object of his choice as to her possible financial future. s1 have heard, " he said, 'tthat your good father owns two large es- tates in Silesia.'' ''Yes,'' was the naive re- ply, t'and he owns two more in Pommerania. :" The suitor hesitated moment as though to catch his breath, and then, falling on his knees and looking the young lady imploring ly in the face, cried out, And can you doubt my affection under such circumstances ?'
 At Rochester, Michigan, they have good way of advertising the fools who stand on the church steps after meeting to stare at the ladies. The following card is kept standing in the Era of that place: 1.-The Donkey club of this village would inform the young ladies especially, and the public generally, that they have made arrangements for an ex- pensiye demonstration on the steps in front of the Methodist Episcopal chapeI-ths members locating themselves either side of the main entrance-on Sunday evening next.

It says that considering the admitted fact that i've have had scarcely any addition to our population by immigration, the increase from natural causes seems too inordinats to be credible, particularly to some counties. !" Northern Democratic papers will of course continue to claim that the South Carolina census is all right and show why it is so.

 The servant girl problem sometimes crops out in very unpleasant ways 1fr. Dalmolin an Italian merchant living in Eighty-third street, New York city, came home unexpeot- edly the other day, his family being away. The house had been left in charge of two girls, !" the cook and 8 maid of all work. On arriving there he found six persons in- stead of. two; the girls had been wearing the fine clothes left at home by the ladies, and alT hands had been drinking the rarsst wines from MT. Dalmolin's wine closet. He learned further that often many as fourteen per sons had made night of it in his house, and that discharged servants had taken especial icy in making themselves at home in the house they had been turned out of He kicked the whole gang into the street, but that does not repair the damage done.
