Why He Didn't Propose.

He said he once fell desperately in
love with a pretty blonde who had the
most bewitching ringlets that ever en-
shared the heart Of a man in their
meshes. That he raved like 3 lunatic
over these golden tresses.. That he
wrote sonnets to their beauty and lux
uriance. and even wore atiny lo~ye-lock,
which he stole from them n starry
night, upon his head for six long
months. And that, in fact, he was so
much entranced by the ringlets that he
resolved to marry their fair owner.
And so n evening when he had fully
made up his mind to propose, he set off
to visit his inamorata, quoting poetry rs
he went along, and wondering how a
fellow set about anyway when he really
wanted to marry q prettygirl. Uniaek-

was not at home when he called that
night and her younger sister came

Advice.

Ir is a little singular that in spite of
our well-known relish for prOfering ad-
vice, we should be averse to receiving
it; however avaricious we may be. adj
vice is the one thing we are happy to
part with, in season and out of season,
perhaps because we are certain that
the supply is ineXhaustible, and we are
sure of payment, sooner or later. In
giving it we feel a n of superiority.

accepting it we acknowledge the wis

Judgment, and our vanity revOlts at
such q concession. In the meanwhile
the most of us, without soliciting adj
vice, have it thrust upon us, and in
such allopathic doses that, were we to
use it all, we should have no leisure for
ANYTHING else. We are advised not
only how to control our servants, = II
they we're in the habit OF controlling
us, but how to keep our temper, as II
we were in the habit of losing it. While
giving advice is the most subtitle form
of ~self-fiattery, taking it is an example
of the most permanent humility; but
perhaps there is nothing more exasper-
ating, in a small way, than being adj

sets, and the worthy minister's pecu-
liar ont when reading the end of the
Thanksgiving proclamation, Marcus
Morton, Governor!-God save the Com
monwealth Of Massachusetts," are
doubtless familiar to every native of the
State old enough to hear stories. But
there is an associated incident which
does not 90 with it usually. Midway
Town voted to close the polls ut four
o'clock in the afternoon. An anti-Mor-
ton voter reached the ballot-bOx at two
minutes of four by the town-clock, but
the polls had already been closed. He
could have voted had he insisted upon
it, but thinking it not worth the trouble.
he did not demand his right Had he
voted, the election would have been q
tie, and so the choice thrown into the
Legislature. History would thus have
lost the parsons sarcasm, for Marcus
Morton would not have been Governor.
Years ago, in De Kalb County, In
diana, was q man who was in doubt on
election morning whether to 90 to mill
or to the polls. Finally, he decided for
the latter. He voted the Democratic
ticket. and democratic member of the
Legislature was elected from his dis
trict by a majority of n vote. That
Legislature elected q United States
Senator, and by the vote of the MEM

Ne this as q symbol of your
Dereignty. and celebrate your espous-
ais with the sea every year"
This fetc on Ascension Day was a uni
versal holiday. The poor and the rich
put on their gayest dresses and went to
witness the marriage of the Dogc with
the sea. The bells of the city rang
from daybreak their most joyful chimes,
| the canals were thronged with gondolas
ornamenfed with banners. In n OF
the largest harbors, called La Piazzetta,
was anchored a large vessel, called the
Z" B~ucentaur," which belonged TO the
Doge. The crew were chosen from
among the strongest and handsomesf OF
the Venetian seamen. The prov OF the
ship was gilded and ornamented with
figures, and in the center was a GRIM
son-velvet tent embroidered with gold,
above which foated the flag Of San
Marco. When the hour of Don sound
ed. the door Of the church was thrown
open and a grand procession moved
forth. First came eight standard
bearers with the flags of the Republic
in red, blue, white and violet, and six
men with silver trumpets; then came
the officers in the service of the Doge,
dressed in their State robes. Next fol-
lowed the musicians, and a deacon
carrying a large wax taper sent by the
Pope, and men bearing the throne
and cushions of the Dogc. The
City Magistrates made part Of
the procession, and. lastly. the
Doge himself. in his ducal robes, his
mantle Of ermine fastened with gold
buttons, his robes Of blue and CLOTH of
gold; his head covered with the ducal
cap of Venice. over which was a crown
of gold sparkling with precious stones.
The procession advanced slowly up the
quay and embarked on the ''Bucen-
taur," with the Admiral Of the Nene-
tian feet AT the helm. As they drew
up the anchors, all the bells in the city
poured forth their most joyful sounds.
The large vessel went slowly on, sur
rounded by numerous smaller barges
and gondolas, all filled with people gay
ly dressed. After the fleet had ad-
vanced some distance into the Adriatic,
the Doge rose from his throne, walked
to the prov of the vessel on a raised
gallery, and threw into the blue waves
a gold ring, saying, 1--WE espOuse thee.
o Sea, in sign Of real and perpetual
sovereignty" Then the Doge and his
suite attended service in the church at
San Nicolas on another island, called
Lido. and the fleet returned TO Venice,
where the grand personages attended a
sumptuous repast at the ducal palace.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, ID. O., Dec. 10. 1879.
The action. Of the Maine democrats
and fusionists in counting the repub-
lican majority in the legislature Of
that state continues TO DO the prin-
cipal topic discussed by politicians
here. Republicans are greatly en-
ragged, and democrats denounce it as
an outrage which will cause the GER
tain loss Of the state next year. 1t
reveals in most unmistakable man
ner, what desperate means will be
resorted to next yeor to "count in"
the democratic candidate, or rather
force him in. 1t is plainly to be
seen, that If by any means the popu-
lar vote can bs set aside iu any state
or here it will be done, even if the
vote be an Overwhelming one as in
Maine. Republicans must be on their
guard, for mistake Of the most
trivial character may be pretext for
another and greater democratic steal.
When Senator yoorhes introduced
his little resolution in the Senate to
investigate the causes of the negro
b
exodus from North Carolina to Indi-
ana, he it without consulting his
democratic friends, and as usual add
cd another blunder to the list. 1t
came up yesterday for discussion,
and Senator window made All excel
lent speech showing up the the real
causes Of the exodusto be in"the fact
mat such rank injustice. was shown
them, that they, are unable, stand it
longer, and are fleeing to the free
states in the North. The result Of
the contest was that the resolution.
was adopted by republican votes,
many democrats voting against it,
considering the subject as one upon
which agitation would be dangerous.
The republicans are now ready to

the hold over state senators who
have been counted in by him, with
che hslp Of such new members as the
democrats can get into the legisla-
ture at the next election. Thirdly,
the grand object is to hold the state
for the democrats in the presidential
contest. An exchang~eugg@sts that
this may be done in two ways. The
fusion legislature may pass law
vesing in itself the power to appoint
the presidential electors, or it may
elect governor and council pledged
TO pursuce the same Infamous policy
that Garcelon and his council have
followed this year, for overcoming
the republican majorities. The leg
islsture, If allowed to stand, however,
as made by the governor, will prob
ably not daro to take the former
course, for such action would be a
confession Of the real design, and
would be looked at as provoking the
republican states Of the North, in
such a manner as would make the
election of the republican candidate
absolutely certain. Were this course
adopted by all the states the demo-
Gratis could not appoint more than
1863, which is IA less than majority.
1t is therefore likely that the Maine
democrats will not attempt to inau-
gurate this change in the system Of
choosing electors but viii trust to
canvassing board to count the state
for their candidate in spite of any
republican majority which may be
given against him. The Chicago
Tribune takes substantially the above
view Of the situation, and says it de-
mands from the republicans of Maine
utmost resistance to the infamy
which the "fusionists" are seeking
to consummate. The whole county
has an interest in defeating the vii
lainy, and it is duty which the re-
publicans of Maine owe to the ma
tion, as we'll as to themselves, to re-
fuse submission to the plot. The
fight will be the shorter and the vic.
tory the surer by making stand
now against unlawful and rovolu-
tionary assumption Of power.
