bly, known throughout Dakota as Curtin
& Winslow, has gone to be numbered with
the firms that were, Mr.. James Winslow
retiring and leaving the general merchan-
disc business in the hands Of Mr.. David
Curtin. Mr.. Curtin IS thoroughbred

In tue great sun. The certainty Of an earth
quake every four years in England would
not more distress us or divert the current of
business than the American system of hav-
ing 100, 900 office holders liable to displace-
ment every Presidential election. Each
placeman has, | calculate at least nine
friends who watch and work TO keep him
where he is. Then there are 100000 more
persons, candidates for the offices TO he
vacated 10y those already in place. Each Of
these aspirants has on the average as many
personal friends who devote themselves to
getting him installed. So there are 1000
600 of the most active politicians in the
country always battling for places-not,
perhaps, regardless altogether of princ-
Pile, but subordinating the assertion of piin-
ciple to the command of places. The wonder
is that the progress in America occurs at all.
Col. Robert lngersoll, during the enchanted
days when was his guest in Washington,
explained it all to me, and gave reasons for
it with humor and wit for which he is un-
rivaled among public speakers among us;
nevertheless | remain of the same opinion
still. This system, although a feature of
republican administration, Is quite distinct
from republican principle, and has to be
changed, though the duration of the practice
renders IL as difficult to alter as it would be
to change the diet of a nation.n

NOTHING REMAINS.
NY ELLA WHEELER,

Nothing remains Of unrecorded ages
iIld In the silent burial place Of Times
Aud yet their wisdom may have shamcd our sages,
Their glory may indeed have been snhlne.
How weak must seem our sirvIngs after power,
How poor the grandest efforts of our brans,
II, ont Of ali we are, IN one short hour -
Nothing remains.
Nothing remains hut lnc eternal spaces;
Time and decay uproot the forest trees;
Even the mighty mountains leave ihclr places
Aud sink their naughty heads beneath strange seas
The great earth VIRTUES IN some convulsivc spasm,
Aud turns the proudcsi cities into plains
The level sea becomes ylwnIng clasm;
Nothing remolne.
Nothing remains but the eternal forces,
The oceans cease complaining aud grow dry;
Rivers are drained aud altered In their courses;
Great stars pass out and vanish from the SKY:
Ideas die and old religions perish;
our rarost pleasures aud our keenest pains
Are swept away with all we hate or cherish;
Nothing remains.
Nothing remains hut the Eternal Nameless,
The all creative spirit OF the law,
Uncomprehendcd, comprehensive blamcless,
Invnciblc, resistless, with no flaw.
SO full of love II must create forever,
Destroying that II may create again.
Persistent aud perfecting In cndeavor,
II yet must bring forth angels after men;
And One remains.

A Terrible Incident.

One of the most singular and terrible in
cidents occurred at the Adelphi Theatre, in
this city, last Thursday evening, and which
we mention for the benefit of our country
readers, as by some singular oversight our
contemporaries have failed TO say word
about the matter. II appears that some five
years ago pair of gympasts, generally sup
posed to he man and wife, came to New York
from London, and soon astonished the thea
tregoers in that city with their marvellous
ieats on the dying trape2e. Soon after that,
however, the man deserted his companion,
and left the country in company with
prettier woman. For five years they travelled
in South America and Australia, safe from
the recrimnations of the deserted woman
who waited, with constantly augmenting
bitterness, tor her revenge. At last the lat
ter heard that her old lover was performing
with her rival in San Fracisco. She ut once
took the train for this city. She attended
the theatre the evening of her arrival, and
saw the man she hated and his companion
go through the same perilous ieats in which
she had once taken part. How should she
wreak her long brpoded revenge was the
question. At one part of the performance a
| new feat was introduced. The woman hung
by her knees from the swinging trapeze, hold
| ing the man ON q smaller bar below, the sole
support VI winch WAS u ltdtiltr Sllp htlN III
| the formers mouth, While thus oscllating
at dizzy height above the audience a bon
quet was tossed from the gallery and dexter
ously caught by the Iaale athlete, and passed
to the female one ahove. This gave the
scorned woman the opportunity for which
she sought, and the next night she occupied
proscenium box still nearer her intended
victim. At the exact moment above described
she leaned forward, closely vailed, and tossed
a handsome bunch of flowers to the lower
gymnast. Upon large tuberose in the cen
ire of this bouquet was fastened hideous
artificial spider. The flowers were caught as
usual, and handed up to the woman. As she
pressed them to her nose she uttered loud
shrlek, in doing which she, of course, was
compelled to let go the strap. In another
moment the male acrobat was lying a
crushed and lifeless mass in the orchestra
The betrayed woman was avenged, and ",
are glad to announce that in his fall tn,
victim broke the neck of the little red headed
man who played the drum and cymbal'
in the orchestra, and generally made thu
lives OF the patrons of said theatre burden

SWEETBRIAR.

How fragrant Is the summer dusk
with breath OF mignonctto and musk,
How dear this hour of rest,
When waning twilight fills with gloom
The shadowy corners of the room
outlcoking to the west.
Tho ilue-cyed prattlers who have played
An day In sunshine and IN shade
Among the garden l'owcrs
Have said good-niglt look around
For scattered toys, and on the ground
see their faded flowers
roor blossoms, puokcd with childish haste,
Your summer sweetness ran to waste
In heat OF childish play;
A half -blowu rose OF crimson hue,
Forget me nois Of heavenly blue,
iurt OF rosy May.
A branch Of swcetbriar-Ah, my heart
The tender tears unbidden start
To weary, worldworn eyes;
kiss the fragrant, faded spray,
And memories OF a hygone day
Before my vision rise.
How often my lost darling wore
The sweetbrlar green She loved II more
Than many tinted bloom;
1t often graccd her maiden breast,
Now, planted where she lies at rest,
1t beauties her tomb.
NV little love In days Of old
YOUTHS mourning hour Of rose and gold
Comes back to me Tonight;
see her In her glrlsh grace,
The sunny sweetness Of her face,
Her childish robe Of white.
smell the swcetbriar In her hand,
see the garden where we stand
ON Engand's southern shore:
hear the ripping streamet fall,
hear her laughter musical,
Now silenccd evermore.
She was too fra,l for earth employ,
To calm and pure for human Joy,
Hut like the sweetbrlar green,
The memory OF her gentle life
Makes sweet the years Of worldly strife
That lie our lives between.
Thy life and mine, my little love,
My life below, thy life above,
God $ love shall reunlte:
kiss the chidren's faded spray.
My sweetbriar graceth, far away,
The land of pure delight!
