erst-while director and manager, who
has at last "shuf1ed off his mortal
coil, and gone to that bourne" or
burn-but why venture on that Oft
repeated quotation, the idea being
now repudiatod by modern progress
in thu person of Bod Ingersoll, who
asserts, "there's no such placer"
Beecher, than whom no living NOR
tai is personally more fearfully inter-
ested in the solution of this question,
echoes the consoling refrain, but that
leaves the matter in still question
able shape, as it is very evident that
with both Of these latter-day Apostles
of the world and the flesh, sans
devil,
"The wish is father to the thought"
And, rather believe that those DIS
tinguished individuals, King Hal of
Plymouth Church on one side, and the
Bob Acres of Materialism on the
other, will feel superlatively happy
if after short experience in the great
hereafter they can become entingaeish-
cd there.
The patriotic Washingtonians have
duly ratified the nominations, both of
Cincinnati and Chicago, with grand
flourish of trumpets, torch-light pro-
cessions, and discharges of artillery,
and-oratory. First came the repub-
lican demonstration, trim and we'll
managed in all its details, showing
the great number of Office -hol ders,
marching like veterans, and the mass
of oolored people, who have the cause
of Garfield and Arthur so much at
heart.
Then came the unwieldy hordes of
the "fierce democraeie" tramping
along down Washington's famed
avenue under the red glare of count
less torches, carried in every con-
ceivable style, demonstrating the i'm
mense number of would-be- office
holders who consider the cause Of
Hancock and English as their own.
In this latter turnout the imam and
brother" gave place to many a bare
footed urchin whose unearthly yells
and general disregard of any kind of
discipline, made him to appear not
particularly out of his element in that
particular crowd. 1t was prodi-
gious affair and amusing to me in the
go.as-you-please style of marching
displayed, and utter Indifference man
ifested by the processionists as to how
they carried their transparencies,
torches, &C., or as to whether or not
they moved in the remotest manner
approaching order.
1t took just ten minutes for the re-
publican procession to pass given
point, and their meeting was brought
TO premature finale by a violent
storm. The democrats occupied more
than one hour in passing, and having
all the elements on their side, had the
"boss show" to see which the entire
city turned out.
And yet not single vote can a
citizen of this metropolis give to any
of the political parties who strive for
mastery in this broad land. But as
an evidence Of the intense feeling
aroused in the present presidential
contest the proceedings of the last
two or three weeks in this city are
very suggestive
When I commenced this letter I

IDOL He did deal. Here's how
it is: I often go to Springfield in the

night I met an old crony and we went
to the music hall and the theatre.
When we came out we met some
friends. OF course could not get
right out, SO I treated; in fact we
were having a pretty good time, when
some fellow came in and tried to raise
row. In less than no time the po-
lice were in and had US. The next
morning I was hauled before the court
and fined $40. I did not care
much, because I gave false name,
