In New York city, Oct. s, a vast
multitude gathered to hear eX-GOv-
Seymour discuss the political ques-
tiOns which enter into the presiden-
tial contest. In the course of his
long address Mr.. Seymour said:
With all governments, under all
conditions, there is peril on one
hand of resistance to rightful au-
thOrity, and on the other that the
government, through corruption,
may destroy itself. On one hand it
is the peril of force, on the other
that of fraud and injustice. When
our fathers framed the constitution
they kept in view both these dan
gers. With great care and wisdom
they defined the jurisdiction of gen
eral and state governments. There
is no intelligent man who will not
admit that the destruction of the
rights of the states would be follow
ed by corruption that would in the
end shatter our government to frag-
mentS. Our government presents
at all elections these two dangers
more clearly than any other cOun-
try. So far the pending election
has been free from the political ex-
element which sometimes marks
our political contests. l come before
you an old man who has no person.
al interest in these affairs, but
one who loves his country. /
stand before you in the full belief
that your interests are endangered
to degree you have not thought
Of" Referring to the dOuble-deal-
ing of republican leaders, the speak
er said: Though they talk about
the south, they mean you. Did
you ever go out on a moonlight
night, and have an excited man
come upon you, and point to the
moon, and ask il there is not a
change, a revolution, going on there,
and your Imagination is little eX-
cited, and you look at the man in
the moon, and then at your COM
panion? But he is gone, and your
pocket is picked. Now whose pock-
cts are to be picked? They point
to the south, and divert your atten-
tiOn in order to rob you. These
men ask power, not for their con-
stituents, but for themselves In
discussing the subject of keeping
the public faith he declared "The
meanest regulators are those who
profess honesty and poverty, and
then spend money in riOtous liv-
ing" Mr., Seymour closed with a
picture Of Garfield taking the oath
of senator, and Hancock that of
president. March 4, 1881.

direful of evils, moral, financial and politi-

National Democratic platform, we pledge
ourselves TO the strict maintainance OF the

9TH. We recognize a disposition upon the

'Toumay observation-disclosures
thing of the terrible scare that AIDE
laide Nelson's first husband, Lee, got
at the Gramercy Park Hotel dinner
to which he was invited by William
j. Florence +. A Sothern, Dan
Bryant and other practical jokers.
Lee had heard a great deal about
Thorough ways of people in America
and his head was full of eXtravagant
notions on that subject. He had
come to New York expecting to
find bears running loose in Central
! Park and to be able to shoot buffa-
Ioes in Harlem. The jokers want
| ed to "take rise" out of him, and
arranged how to do it. When the
party sat down to dinner every
man except Lee laid revolver at
one side of his plate and a bowie
knife at the other. 1t seemed to be
done as matter of course, and it
made Lee rather uneasy at the start.
But the party soon fell into pleas
ant conversation, and after a while
the Englishman's nerves became
steadier, though his appetite did
not appear to be good. There was
plenty Of wine, Of course, and all
partOOk of it freely, though each
man was careful not to take too
much.
When the dinner was nearly over
the conversation became more live
ly. BY and by it grew warm. In
little while more it was hot. Then
the fun began. The jokers fell to
quarreling furiously. Every man
was on his feet, in moment with
a revolver in one hand and a bowie
knife in the other. Chairs were
knocked over, revOlvers were flour
ished, the dishes ratified on the table.
Indian warhoops ran through the
room, and the entire party except
Lee was evidently bent on whole
sale slaughter. Poor Lee trembling
in his shoes. There was no
telling but what he might
be sealped the next moment. One
of the actors opened the door and
then danced back to resume his part
i'm the melee. Lee saw his chance.
He fed through the open door like
deer, and did not wait in the hall
for his hat. When he afterwards
told of his narrow escape from muir
der by lot of saVages, he really be-
lieved that the desperate row he had
run away from was real. He never
forgave the festive rioters from the
trick they had played him. at

She must have missed her usual way

Or how the rustic of ner dress
Thrills thro' me hike a soft cartSs,
With trembles ofdeiieiousness.
Wee woman, with her smiling mein-

She passes me, unconscious queen.
Her face most innocently good,
Wher- <hyiy peeps The sweet red blood;
Her form a nest Of womanhooi.

When ways are miry--I could spread
Ny cloak, bus there's my heart Instead

Why It's my step is quickened 80.
Nor what the prayer l murmur low

Fresh as the rosebud newly born;
I marvel can you have thorn?

Sing like the bird that grief hath blest.
I hear you singl And thro' me spring
Doth musically ripple and ringi
Little you think I'm listening!
You know not. dear, how dear ION be;
All dearer for the secrecy;
Nothing, and yet world 10 me.
So near, too, you could hear me sigh,
Or see my case with half an eye;
But must not. There are reasons why.

may have something to do with the
nearness of Jupiter to the earth and
the sun. Saturn, too, is compare

THE famous Romieu was one day

1t was o'clock already, and he
had an engagement at the Cafe de

fell in torrents. There was no car

While he was cursing his bad luck,
s gentlemen with a large umbrella
passed by.
Romieu was sliced with sudden
inspiration. He rushed out and
grasped the stranger by the arm,
and gravely installed himself up-
der the protecting umbrella.

Then he glanced at him with a
face full of well-feigned astonish-

"The devil" added Romieu, "be

you"

Romieu hastens in the Cafe and
tells this adventure to his friends,
amid great laughter.
Suddenly one of them says:
"Your craVat is rHmpled."
Romieu puts his hand to his neck
and turns pale. His pin, valuable
sapphire, is gone. A further exam
inatiOn-and his purse and watch
are gone.
The man with the umbrella was a
pickpOcket.
The friends laugh again, but RO-
