\ few days ago while an excursion from
out on the Lake Shore road was spreading
itself over Detroit, II pair of lovers seated
themselves on the steps Of the City Hall and,
of course, took hold of hands. Some of the
officials IN the building noticed this and one
gentleman offered to bet 81 that they would
squeeze for straight hour without once
breaking their hold. The bet was taken and
third party took his station where he could
watch the result. 1t was an awful hot day, but
that didn't make the least difference. AT the
end of forty minutes the two red hands were
still tightly claspcd So they were when five
minutes more would have struck the hour.
Then the young man made an uneasy move
ment leaning over To her fiaXcn curls he said
SAMANTHA, am gong to let go of your hand
for a minute, but you won't be mad will you
darling, ] wouldn't let go till you did, only
some sort OF Il bug is crawling down my back,
and can't keep my mind on you and bugs at
the same time"

4 NInilel Candidate.

The democratic party has very good reason
10 be satisfied with its candidate Thus far he
has made no mistakes.
Nor Is tins all. Everything which has beer
developed of the past history of Gen. lIlncocb
rebounds 10 his credit. HIS letter To Gen
sherman alone ought to elect HIM. No brib
cry, no fraudulent transaction, talnts his name
He appears, by all that is brought to light
about him, Ia be man of sound sense ana re-
markedly clear and intelligent views of per
zonal rights and of constitutional law.
If Gen Hancock continues on the discree
course hc has thus far pursued he will be re
parded and spoken of rs the Model Candidate
And there - good reason tn believe that thu
model candidate will make Model President

IRISH SONG.

Some go smiling through the gray time,
Under naked, songle-s bowers;
Some 20 mourning all the May time,
Mid the laughing leaves and flowers.
Why is this,
Rosy Miss
Comes to kiss Winter gray?
Why ali! why
Doth Sorrow sigh
On the lap Of lovely May?
Happy Love with song and smiling
Through the w,thered Woodland goes;
Iaplcss Love hath no beguiling
From the rcdbrcast or the rose.
This is why
Woods may sigh,
Flowers die and hearts be gay;
This alasl
The pteOus pass
That leaves us mourning all the May.

READING BY ROBERTg

Last night, at Chickering Hall. Cha les Roberts
jr., read eight selections from as many author. .,
an assemblage that filled every part OF that audi-
forum. The reader was not in perfect voice be,n.
afflicted with slight cold yet bis elocution wa

dlous tones were much enjoyed by his listene,.
The performance. as o whole, evinced more OF the

influences really effective upon other persons

and Schiller's poem Of The Diver (Bulwer, trans

discrimination as to character, moods, and tina
changes of passion "The Diver "a noble poem.
and one that affords abundant scope for talent At

cia beauty of acton-the free carriage Of the fr.

the natural and strong outgrowth of the feelings
aroused By this most. fluent, exciting aud lament

and it distinctly marked the aptitude Of the artist

A power in real tragedy would not permit It's posses

tons OF the genuine emotion. For comedy, on the

more submissive and more calm. Never wss
such deep-mouthed baying followed Dy SUCH
q close tucking of tails
II ia not necessary to go over the long cat
aloeue of things they've. threatened to DO anu
backed out of schemes and plots they've un-
dertaken and been banked in. Their record
is one of unfulflled promises ana uneA,
ecnted threats; of false prophecies ana
abortive conspiracies. No party ever starteu
out with so large programme none
ever failed so disgracefully in everything IL
attempted. So now in Congress they are
showing. for the first time since they began to
taste power. a glimmer OF intelligent compre-
hension of their actual situation by keeping
or irving to keep, still. And in the country
at large they seem to be for the moment
ouiet. as the solemn fact dawns on them
that they have been too nOisily discount
ing victory not gained ana oincihi
pIundcr not secured. 1t begins to look
like another still hunt. How long they
can keep their chins in check remains
TO be seem but at present the policy Is
"S-h-h!!r Pursuing this they are the most
dangerous. So long as they tuned ana
yapored they were only amusing A stubborn
Republican minority in Congress and firm
Executive easily defeated their plans for
consolidating the election laws aud gripping

mcut and honest Judiciary banked the con-
spiracy the first sceno of which WAS laid IN

party has been q hindrance instead OF help )

they expected to make so much capital, nave
Injured 10 the advantage of the Republicans.
They are at their wits end.
Being 50, and apparently recognizing the
fact Themselves they are, We repeat, more
dangerous than they have been at any time
these seven years. They came into their pres
ent possession of incomplete power through
the blunders of Republicans and not by any
melitorions acts of their own. 1t will be very
shrcwd in them-though we hardly believe they
have the self-eommand to do ito try the same
policy over again; to keep quiet and profit by tne
mistakes of their opponents. The great
mistake upon which they build their hopes Is
the Presidential nomination. They are much
more interested to-day i'll the discussion OF
Republican candidates than Of their own, and
! the reason is that they see by instinct that
much more depends for them upon the weak
ness of the opposing than on the strength OF
their own candidate. The discussion is not
only interesting and entertaining. but 1t is
likewise instructive, and Republicans will be
wise if they observe somewhat carefully the
progress of this still hunt and take
special note of the Democratic fayOrtes Tor
the Republican candidacy. 1t will be well to
remember also, that the present comparative
apathy in the Democracy is by no means
sign that the Presidential race il to be easily
won, and that we can elect anybody we nomi-
nate. The only thing that can save the De-
mocracy from defeat in November is a Repub-
lean bunder at Chicago. And because our
Democratic friends know it they are keeping
still and hoping for it.

TINE NEH STILL HINT

II is hard to tell the significance of the pres
emf calm in the Democratic party, although we
NAV rest assured from their past history that
there's deyiltry of some kind cooking some
where. It's pretty sure to be an unhOly calm
when these fellows are still, for it's ten to one
they are Noting mischief. No one can tell
from what direction IT will come till it comes
but unless all signs fail we shall presently
hear from them. The last scheme III which
they were engaged was the attempted Rape
of Name, but in that as in all their
recent enterprises, they failed miseraby.
III luck has followed them per-
sstently in all their undertakings ever since
Grover undertook the theft of Oregon for
them. Not one of all the blatant crowd
of reiormers that have ranted in Con-
gress and on the stump since 1876
is politically solvent, from the Sage of
Cipher Alley down to the Quivering Beebe or
the Lone Fisherman Glover. But, now we
think Of it, how they did take on, and
seem for a while to be carrying things with a
high hand! They would this, and they
wouldn't that; they threatened and defied
and denounced; they called their OPP
moments by hard names; they demand
ed THIS and wouldn't submit to that; and
they went out bareheaded and swore positive
ly by everything that they would never con-
done. They seem a great deal meeker now
