Did it ever occur TO you, gentle read
er, that, aside from the grave questions
involved, the submission Of a PROPOSE
ton to settle the state debt to popular
vote is of all method the most imprac-
ticable, and that the adoption OF such
policy would result IN keeping the
veXed question upon US for years To
come? Suppose the democratic party
were to agree to submit the question,
after their legislature had agreed upon
an adjustment, could not the disanocted
democrats, the greenbackers and the
10000 republican voters combine and
defeat it ut the polls? Suppose the
boilers, who are making this submis-
sion plank demagogical catch cry,
could elect a legislature out of their
own corps OF otllce-seekers, could not
any proposition their legislature agreed
upon be defeated by a combination of
state credit democrats and republicans
Most assuredly. Why then insist upon
policy which can only serve TO keep
up "A continual agitation of the subject,

the question ever will be settled will be
by the direct and final action OF the

The proprietor laughingly replied that
he would sell him for dish of ice
cream. The young woman said Every
| well, 1 will take him." and departed,
returning a little later In the day with
a female friend, when she invited the
| proprietor out to a cream saloon to
| bind his bargain. The proprietor en-
tered heartily into the spirit of the
Joke, as he looked upon it, and went
with her. On his return 20 the shop
the young woman accompanied him,
and said, as she started to leave: 81
am going home on Monday noon; so
have that article ready for me, as
shall certainly call for it, The clerk
thereupon demurred, and said that the
bargain would not not be binding I'M
less he had dish Of cream as well, at
which the young lady said: every
well, you also shall have the cream"
and left, returning in few minutes
with dish of cream in her hand. The
| Young man devoured the cream and en-
| joyed a social chat with his purchaser,
and becoming quite interested in her,
| made up his mind TO stick. On Mon
day afternoon the young woman, true
to her promise, drove up in a hack to
the shop on Main street, and out
stalked her purchase, clad In a new lin
en- buster and store clothes, and with a
hand bag and sun umbrella in hand.
The hack drove off amid the laughter
and best wishes OF the fellow clerks of
the young man, and the congratula-
tions OF the proprietor to the young wo
man, who warranted the young man to
wear we'll and hold his color, and that
he would never fade. The party took
the 80 train up the river, and on Mon
day evening the merchant received
dispatch stating that she had arrived at
home safely with her purchase. The
girl is worth about $4,000 in her own
name, and is about 30 years old. The
young man is fine looking, has neat
little bank account of his own, and all
say that the young woman might ego

A Man ofDestiny.
Courier-J Journal.

COurler-JOurnal.
Hancock is man of destiny. Why,
just look at the record. In 1865 Gar
field brought bill into congress to
drop the junior major-general. That
was Hancock. 1t passed both houses of
congress and was signed by the presi-
dent. But before it could be carried
into effect George II. Thomas, the sem
Tor major-general, died, and Hancock,
going up one grade, was no longer the
Junior major general, and so the law
could not reach him. Then the repub-
licans, still led by Garfield, passed an
act reducing the major-generals to
three. This was signed by the presi-
dent, but before it could be carried into
effect Meade died, and the major-gen-
erals were reduced to three by God AL
mighty. Finally, law was passed au-
thorizing the president to drop one of
the majOr-generals. Before it could be
carried out and Hancock be dropped,
Halleck died, and Hancock becoming
the senior maior-general, he could not
be dropped. The man who survived all
these attempts to retire him cannot be
retired. The man who led them-Gar-
field-will, as fitting contamination
of mis- act, fall victim to his intended
victim. Hancock will be elected presi-
idcnt. Garfield will be retired-at
least from the presidential field.

Rem RutIar.

In his speech at Fanueil Hall, Boston,
Gen. Benz. f. Butler declared-that he
is not nor should not be a candidate
for any office, elective or appointive, at
this election, or under the incoming adj
ministratiOn. He explained his present
position as caused by the recreancy of
the Republican administration to the
platform Of 1876, and their desertiOn of
the negro in the South after promising
to protect him, and said: SNOW, then,
it is because | am friend of the negro ;
it is because l desire to stand for him ;
it is because / desire to do all that in
me lies to aid him in the difficult posi-
ton in which he is placed by attain
ment so unprepared, of his citizenship,
that l now propose to act with the
Democratic party. They at least can
protect him, and / believe will do so.
The industrial condition of the South
shows that the negro is necessary as a
laborer, must be protected, and Will be
as soon as political antagonism dies out.
L freely confess to you that l desire to
be in such relation of political kindness
and courtesy with the Democratic par
ty that may be permitted TO point out,
in behalf of the colOred men, what L
deem would be for the best interest OF
all, and what l doubt not will be their
best wish to do in his behalf" Gen.
Butler then attacked the claim of Re-
publiGans that the present prosperity OF
the country is due to their a1ministra-
ton. He claimed that prosperity was
an act of God, and that the bankrupt
condition of the business depression a
few years ago was caused by the re-
sumption act; that the republicans had
legislated the American flag off the
ocean and have negotiated us out of all
our fishing rights in the northern seas.
The Republican party, in a long lease
of power, has become corrupt and there
can be no hope of change under Gar
field. The General eloquently vindica-
ted the memory of Cakes Ames, as
persed by Republican candidates.

YES OR NO.

Yon ask tonight my daughters hand,
AS you'd request a toy
Do you know the weight Of your demand
On a mothers heart, my boy9
You say you love her wildly; we'll,
VIII it last to the end of time,
Or will the ring OF the wedding bell
Resound its dying chime'
The heart you crave Is holy thing,
So tender, trusting true,
Can you TO her devotion bring,
As warm as hers to youl
viii you love her thro' the coming years
As tenderly az now,
When ills shall pale, or sorrows tears
Becloud her sunny browl
When age shall bow her graceful form,
And bleach her jetty hair,
viii you protect her through each storm
And shelter her from carer
Whom time shall dim her sparkling eye,
And winter burrows show,
Will your love be the last to diet
of not, l answer, No.
Remember that her future life
Would every day be yours;
loving woman, while wife,
To one whom she adores,
Has no existence of her own
Apart from him she loves;
She lives henoeforth for him alone,
And in his orbit moves.
She moulds her wishes to his will,
Her ways to his desires;
He leads her by loves willing web
Through life's refining fires:
She walks with him through thorny field
And DER life's rugged road;
lie is her idol and ideal,
Her guide and household god.
So, if your love will live and burn
And bless her future years;
II you win give her in return
The trust her life endears;
If you will guido her destiny
And shield her fiom distress
Win always live adorring .her,
Why, then, answer, Yes

Wealthy Men of New York.

Probably no city in the world out
side of London and Paris, says the
Wall Street Daily News, can show as
much private wealth as the city of New
York. The richest man in England at
the present time is the Duke of West
minister, whose income from London
property alone is estimated at f400,0 900.
His rural lana estate yields more than
100000. His total income from real
and personal estate aggregates about
s., 10000 Great as is this income 1t
does not come up to the income enjoyed
| by John Jacob Astor and William II.
Vanderbilt, New York's chief million
aires. The Astor fortune, at present
real estate values, is estimated at not
less than 100000, 900, while Mr.. Van
derbilt represents the largest accumula-
ton of private wealth in America, and
his yearly income exceeds $4,000, 000
Jay Gould now ranks high among
New York millionaires. He is estima-
ted at $25, 900, 900, and bids fair, if he
lives ten or fifteen years longer, to
double his present fortune.
Edward III. Green represents another
great railroad fortune, estimated at over
$40, 900, 900. He ia the chief owner in
the great Louisville and Nashville COM
bination, and is said to practically con-
troll that road. Henry Hilton can be
safely put down at $2O,000,000. In
April, 1876, Cornelia NJ. Stewart, widow
of the late A. I. Stewart, transferred to
Mr.. Hilton all her interest in the firm
! of A. I. Stewart & Co. Wise invest
ments made during the period of de-
preston have, it is said, greatly swollen
Mr.. Hilton's wealth. Besides the we'll
known men of wealth at the head of our
Knickerbocker families, such as the
Rhinelanders, Hamersleys, Schermer-
horns, Stevenses, Lenoxes, ETC., all rep
resenting vast landed estates in this city,
we have q great number of minor mil
lionaires, worth from 81 ,000,000 to
! 50 COO, 600.

Do IT Now.

This is the rule of duty, always. No
one can know the consequences of neg
lecting little thing which it is right
to do, and which ought to be done; for
the human lives of ours are all bound
together by fortune and circumstances,
and "tritle'' may work ruin TO many.
A contemporary gives one or two warn
ing examples:
A letter carrier in one of our large
cities, a few months ago, found, on
reaching the postoffice, after a long
round of delivery, letter in his bag
that he had overlooked.
The carrier was very tired and hun
cry. 1t was long distance he would
have to walk to return and deliver it.
The letter was an unimportant, ordina-
ry-looking missive. He thrust it in his
pocket and delivered it on his first round
next day.
What consequences followed?
For want of that letter a great firm
had failed to meet their engagements;
their notes had gone to protest; a mill
closed, and hundreds of poor workmen
were thrown out of employment. The
letter carrier himself was discharged
for his oversight and neglect. His fam
lily suffered during the winter for many
of the necessaries of life, but his loss
was of small account compared to the
enormous misery cause by his neglect.
Another case:
A mechanic, who had been out OF
work for a long time in New York,
went, last September, to collect a small
amount of money due him. The gen.
tleman who owed it, being annoyed at
some trifle, irritably refused. The
wretched man went back to his miser-
able home, and maddened by the sight
of his hungry family, went out to the
back yard and hung himself.
The next morning an old employer
sent to offer him permanent employ
ment. Here was a life lost and a fam
lily left paupers because a bill of only
dollar or two was not paid at the right
time.
The old Spanish proverb says "there
Is no such thing as trifie."
When we think how ineXtricable the
lives of all mankind are tangled to-
gether, it seems as II every word or ac-
ton moved level which set in motion
a gigantic machinery, whose effect is
beyond our control. For this
If for no other, let us be careful
to perform promptly and well all the
duties of life-even the most trivial.

and the man of ''nuence" in the ward
is as busy as his Satanic Majesty in a
gale. In a few weeks, nights which
have been burdened with MOSQUITOES
will DC made hideous by bands of
gawks in Oil-clOth capes, tramping
through dusty streets, with stin king
lamps, shouting and yelling for some
particular candidate for President, and
after it is all over no single individual
viii be any better OIL than in a two
headed cat had been born in the Fiji
Islands instead of new tenant selected
for the White House. The business
men may growl mt the interruption
caused to business by the Presidential
tomtoolery, and the narrow-minded
circus proprietor may swear that he is
an Imperialist and in favor of life-een-
ure in the White House, but the racket
Will go on just the same and the coun-
try will be imperiled and promptly
saved every four years. The worst
feature of it is that bands cost 500 a
night, uniforms for club idiots cost a
dollar or two apiece, oil, flags, ros-
trums and fireworks are expensive,
and the politicians who pay the bulk of
the reckonings reimburse themselves
when they get into office, and I'm the
end the fellow who shouts and marches
and fights and 5tays out all night has to
pay indirectly for his elevating pastlmo.
But it is a glorious thing to be a sOver-
eigD every four years.
