The shades of night were falling fast,
As through the crowded city passed
A man who bore mystic box
Containing little cubic blocks,
Fifteen.
His brow was sad, q look of pain
Betrayed his agony of brain;
His lip was firm, his teeth were set,
He tiereely growled, "FH hare ii yet,''
Fifteen.
With rapid stride he rushed along,
Regardless Of the iostling throng;
Like one whose very soul is stirred
He walled that cabalistic word,
Fifteen
His happy home he reached ere long,
He needed not the mirth or song
So dear to him in days of yore.
Ere he had struggled with that bore,
Fifteen,
He needed not the greeting mild
OF loving wife and darling child
He needed not the cherished guest,
But tackled with increasing zest.
Fifteen,
Try not the game, F." implored his wife,
''The puzzle is not all of life"
He needed not her wistful gaze.
But plunged anew into the maze,
Fifteen,
Arms round his neck, the winsome child,
Undaunted by his aspect wild,
Lisped Papa, who's so dear as / ?"
He made the relevant reply,
Fifteen!
"What is the news ?'' inquired the guest,
'Whose chance for nominations best?"
who'll take the Presidential chair"
But still he answered with q glare,
Fifteen
The night wore on. the blocks of wood
Thus-l3, 10, ii stood;
'I aron'f giUe up "' he groaned and wept,
"They're all in order now-except,"
Fifteen,
At early dawn as with her broom,
The house-maid went to sweep the room,
A raving maniac she found,
Repeating oft that total sound,
Fifteen,
Kind stranger, pause and drop tear,
Upon the lonely sleeper here;
He sleeps a .fgare-ative sleep,
Profounder than that mystery deep,

THE SABBATH STRONGER THAN AR
mEs-Count Montalembert, one of
the most eminent French statesmen,
once wrote: Men are surprised some
times by the ease with which the inn
mense city of London is kept in order
by garrison Of three small battalions
and two squadrons, while to control
the capital of France, which is half the
size, 10000 troops of the line, and Co.
900 National Guards are necessary.
But the stranger who arrives in Lon
don on Sunday morning, when he
sees everything suspended in that
gigantic capital in obedience to Cod
when in the centre Of that colossal
business, he finds silence and repose
scarcely interrupted by the bells which
call to prayer, and by the immense
crowds on their way to church, then
his astonishment ceases He under
stands that there is another curb for a
Christian people besides that made by
bayonets, and that when the law OF
God is fulfilled with such solemn
submissiveness. God himself, if | dare
use The words, charges himself with
the police arrangements"

Throwing his Line into too
Many Creeks"
tFrom the 81 James Journal.)


1t seems that Mr.. Wakefield, to any
ordinary observer, is throwing his
line in too many creeks" His per
sonal friends" wanted him for Con.
gresham two years ago, but his name
was not presented at the convention.
These personal friends" wanted him
for Governor last fall. but he didn't
get it. Two years hence his "person-
al friends" will bring him out for
Governor again, or something else.
by this we infer that the gentleman
is like the old maid that prayed, ANY.
thing, oh Lord! anything, 80 its a
man." The boy that couldn't get slice
of the frosted cake contented himself
with a doughnut. That Nj. Wake
field would ably represent the district
there is no dougbt; but it doesn't
look well to see him up year after
year for this and that Office. If he is
such power. and his personal
friends" so numerous, he would have
had some once ere this. About the
best thing he can do is to kill = few
Of his personal friends" and with.
draw from the contest.

Dunnell. This is the man who issu.
ed a license to Hon. II. b. Collins of
Alden, arrested him on the charge
that he had no license, dragged him to
St. Paul and attempted to have him
bound over, and was only prevented
by the production of the license. He
is also the man who has appropriated
the pay of the deputies on the claim
that it was needed to pay the expen-
ses of Dunnell's campaigns. At least
one suit has been commenced against
him to recover = portion of this mon.
ey. The abuse of such a man a. this

Senator Window a Man Of At.
tainments Such as Will At
Him Admirably for the
Executive Once.
The Washington correspondent Of
the indianapolis Ntws writes his pa.
per ~ follows:
As convention after convention 10
held in the several states for delegates
to Chicago, the nomination becomes
more uncertain. A man must be
Nominated who can be elected. and
the man to be elected Is the one
against whom no faction in the party
can urge an objection. Careful, cool
and closely calculating politicians
from oil parts of the country have
been in frequent consultation at
Washington. and have pretty unani
nously agreed that Senator Window.
OF Minnesota, is the man to beat any
candidate the Democrats can name.
He has q great deal more ability than
he gets credit for. In this respect
he is like President Hayes, more So
cial than brilliant. His administra-
ton would be as clean as the present
one, and the present has been one of
the best, in all respects, the country
ever had. Senator Window WAS ten
years in the house, and has been ten
years in the senate. His knowledge
of public affairs is as profound as that
Of his peers, and he can use it when
occasion requires. He is not a de-
batter like Conkling, nor the lawyer
bristling with points like Carpenter,
nor the "hurrah-boy" like Blaine, nor
the gruff soldier like Logan, but he is
. man Of attainments such as will at
him admirably for the executive Of
fee. He has kept abrest Of the times
possesses large views based on a
thorough knowledge Of our political
system and history. He has used his
public position as a student would
every opportunity presented. and his
experience and information mark
him as . man without a superior for
the Office which he does not seek, and
will not decline. He is q one-term
man, and, following the example OF
the present incumbent of the presi-
dency, he would never prostitute the
official patronage to secure re.nomi.
nation. Should he be selected rs the
successor of President Hayes, it Is al
together probable that he would not
dispense with the services Of Secre.
tary Sherman as the head of the treas
nry. The present able management
Of our finances must be continued. and
who is SO we'll calculated to preserve
that management as John Sherman!

Wakefield Va. Dunnell.
wells Advocated


While we do not deny the right Mr..
Wakefield possesses in announcing
himself q candidate for congressional
honors In the First district, in oppo.
sition to Mr.. Dunnell, neither do We
think Mr.. Wakefield dsnys but what
his most ardent and influential sup
porters in last falls campaign, when
he was seeking thegubernatOrial chair,
was also Mr.. Dunnell's friends, and
it seems peculiar way Of expressing
true magnanimity for Mr.. Wakefield
to thus combat the interests Of those
who proved his staunchest friends
only few months ago. Indeed, it Is
difficult to understand what motives
lead to this sudden and wholly unex-
pectsd coup d stat on the part of Mr..
Wakefield's friends in Blue Earth
City. The political significance at
tached to the call, if there be any,
has not met with but little enthusiasm
in the eastern side Of the county. and
with but little in various other por.
lions of the district thus far, and
what may be the ultimate result can
only be surmised.

A SMALL BUsINKss.-About the
smallest business we ever knew a
newspaper man to undertake. was the
attempt of Charley Slocun of the Blue
Earth City Post. to keep Wakefield's
candidacy for congress from the pub
lie by not sending the issue of his pa.
per to exchanges which contained
Wakefield's announcement of his in
tention to run. Even post Office col.
lar does not afford an excuse for such
an idiotic proceeding.
albert Lea stsndsrd)
A Poor RETCRN.-The Pioneer
Press says that Mr.. Wakefeld's can
didacy for congress is cruel return
for Mr.. Dunnell's efforts to make him
governor. The fact is that while
Dunnsll promised to help Mr.. Wake.
field in his canvass last year, he never
lifted his finger to carry out that
promise. Freedom county, for in.
stance, is a county which Mr.. Dun
nell has long been supposed to carry
safely In his hind pocket. yet we ss-
sert that there is not man in it who
received request from Mr.. Dunnell
to aid Mr.. Wakefield.
