Trouble in the Church.

The following dialogue is supposed to have
taken place in that Democratic hostelry, Col.
Lyman's counting-room,
Enter Tabulator (much excited) ANY news
from the National Committee yet?
Col. l.: docking about Not a word. L
don't understand this delay The funds don't
seem to be forthcoming.
Tabulator (mad) ).-Yes, we are in - of
fix. No money, and Plasted after us to fulfil
our part of the bargain. 1 don't wonder he is
discouraged.
Enter Charles B. varney (who says)-What
is the matter? Sam says he is discouraged.
No money forthcoming. The Greenbackers
selling him out and cheating the Democrats,
What does it mean?
Col. L. lin low whisper)-The trouble is,
that pure exponent of all that is honest in pol
itics, Edmund Wilson, our national commit
teeman, don't seem to be able to get hold of
the sinews of war. The committee remember
1862, or what is known as the Kimball grab.
Varney Yes, that's what tell Sam, and
the Colonel. think just as they did. We
were swindled by putting up men whom no
body could trust. Our party was set of -
fools to put up such a man. / hated him, So
did Sam and the Colonel.
Tabulator-Well, Plaisted endorsed the acts
OF myself and Fogg in trying to get an honest
count, and if the Argus is ashamed of me he
isn't. have paid 500 towards uniforms. 1
am not willing to pay any more. Wilson ought
to raise money.
Varney-I see in the Herald that the nation
al committee have glorious reports from Maine.
Are we going to lick them?
Tabulater-Oh! that is all put in to get some
money from the committee. l believe the Re-
publicans are going to walk over the course,
all because we don't have the money. There
are Cary and others who want their pay.
Col. L.-Yes, the hotel keepers are shy of
trusting our Greenback allies. They want
cash down. They look upon a promise to pay
from them as fat one. Montgomery and his
kind, guess, do owe some bills here Cha haD.
Tabulator-We must have money 1 must
be vindicated, and men calling themselves
Democrats, who oppose me in this city, will get
well paid for their treachery. I am power in
the party.
Col. L. Cooking out of The window.)-Here
comes that numbhead of Rogers, and Staples
Don't talk in their presence exit Varney in
hurry.)
(Enter Rogers and William King Staples.
Stapes-We had glorious time raising the
flag. Fling made one of the most eloquent
speeches l ever heard
Rogefs-Yes, but that platform wasn't built
right. There should have been extra expense
laid out on it.
Staples-We shall carry everything. 1 shall

Garfield and Arthur Glee Club.

Last evening the PRESS was serenaded by
the members of the Garfield and Arthur Glee
Club. Two songs, one to the air, Hold the
Fort and the other to "In the Morning by
the Bright Light were rendered with great
enthusiasm and spirit. The boys appeared to
be out for good time, and the happy, rollick-
ing manner in which they sung their songs
indicated that they were successfully accom-
plishing their object. The importance of a
we'll organized and trained singing political
club for lively camp aign work has never been
fully realized until this fall.
When the idea of glee club was first agi-
tated amongst the young men of this city,
some doubts were expressed as TO the probable
result of the experiment. The triumphant
debut of the club last week once for all settled
the question of its success. Already the fame
of the Garfield and Arthur Glee Club has
spread throughout the State, and invitations to
participate in grand mass meetings and flag
raisings are coming in from different cities
and towns. We understand that the boys are

In the Golden Prime of Art.
[Fraser's Magazine.l

In that golden prime Of art Florence
was one great and busy workshop, where
hand and brain wrought with a har-
mony never seen before, amid an atmos-
phere of universal appreciation--of pas
sionate sympathy with their strivings-
not less conducive to artistic productive
ness than the efforts of individual genius.
The sense of beauty was brought home
to all, and interviewer into every detail
of life, while the ornamentation lavished
broadcast on the commonest objects de.
veloped to the full the versatility of the
creative fancy. Thus, on missal page
and cloistered wall, on coffer-lid and way.

added charm Of appropriateness from
adaptation to their purpose, and painting
aspiring to be nothing but common
handicraft, and disdaining no work Of
helpful simplicity, attained its supreme
triumph in humanity. Il
With IL were associated, more or lea
intimately, great many sister trades, OF

makers, who furnished chests and cask
