THE Canton Mail is Mortified at THE
CLARIoN's suggestion that there is good
Presidential timber in Senator David
Davis of Illinois 1t SAYS he was elect
ed to the Senate as an Independent
some years ago, and his attitude is SINH
lar to that Of the Madison county indie
pendents over whom THE CLARION pre-
ferred the regular Democratic nominees
in the last canvass. Not TO get into an
argument over dead matter, we will
answer that there is this very essential
difference which our Canton neigh
Dor has overlooked Senator Davis was
taken up by the Democrats of Illinois
and elected over Logan, the worst Rad
zeal in the State, while the Madison
county Independents were supported by
the Radicals against the regular Demo-
cratic nominees.
Davis by his opinions upon the polit-
ibal issues which came up for decision
while he was on the Supreme court
bench, had defined himself on the side
of the Democrats, and since his election
to the Senate he has voted steadily and
been classed with them. He delivered
the ablest argument that was made in
the Senate against the federal election
laws at the extra session of 1879

THE lower house of Congress spent
most Of last week, in angry contention
over the reference of bill introduced
by Mr. Townsend, Of Illinois, TO revise
and amend certain sections Of the Re
vised Statutes, SO As to place on the free
list salt, printing type, printing paper
and the materials used in the manuflc-
ture Of printing paper. The bill was
entitled an Act "to revise and amend
sections 2,503, 2504 and 2,505, of title
80, Of the Revised Statutes Of the Uni
ted States" which, on his motion, was
referred to the Committee on the Revis-
ion Of the Laws, and ordered to be
printed. As it was a revenue bill, it
was referable under the rules, to the
Committee ON Ways and Means. After
several days discussion, a resolution was
passed discharging the Committee on
Revision Of Laws from its consideration,
and it was referred to the former COM
mittee, where, in consequence of the
of majority Of the members to
the objects Of the bill, it will sleep. 1t
was a clever ruse. but too thin to last.

A CHERISHED NOTION ,

BY vANDYKE BROWN.
Do you know cherish the notion,
Were | rich az I'd like to be.

And cottage somewhere by the sea,
With brown stone front in the city.
And cultured friends in the Hub,
And the chairman of some committee
Ia thoroughly high-tOned club.
Do you know I've notion my daisy,
If this blissful condition were mine,
That somehow shouldn't go crazy
Over any old vintage of wine,
Nor collect earthenware from the potter,
Nor presume to set the world right,
Nor keep whole stable of trottcrs,
Nor grapple the tiger" at night.
Nor marry as some do, IN heiress
For beauty, or fame, or blood
Nor follow the crowd to Paris,

No, none of these things would answer
My dreams of earthly bliss,
For hold my little entrancer,
To a fancy somewhat like this:
That with all the wealth of Golconda
Inever could hope to buy,
Though over the world | should wander
One glance from lovelit eye;
For love is a subtle treasure,
Which cannot be bought or sold
Which comes at its own sweet pleasure,
And is held by no chains of gold.

All grOsscr and tangible things
The vulgar display which bewitches
The rabble. who feel rot its stinRs;
could buy, on my gold relying,
All products OF labor and art
But where is the market for buying,
A true and loving heart.
And thin is the notion cherish:
However rich may be,
If love were to wither and perish
| should die in my poverty.
And though to have millions were pleasant
If having them parted us two,
Then I'd choose to be but PEASANT

Charles Reade's Conversion.

From the Chicago Times.
The evangelical churches Of London re-
joice in the conversion of great Eeathen,
fellow of Oxford, and nominally a
member of the Church of England. The
captive is no less person than the re-
nowned novelist, Charles Reade, who is
now sixty.slx years of age. He has become
an ardent and aggressive Congregational
lst. The death Of a friend to whom he
was greatly attached, it is explained,
turned his mind seriously to the con.
temptation of religion, at which he had
scofed something freely, and, finding
consolation therein, his intense nature
caused him to proclaim his new faith and
do battle for it. The ministers are de-
lighted to secure such an ally.
