Hon. JOHN RITCHIE.-We regret very much
TO notice that there is opposition to the nomi-
nation of Hon. John Ritchey for the chief JUS
he was elevated by the governor when Judge
Bowie died. Such opposition must be entirely
factious, and without strength, Judge Richie,
it is conceded, is pure, able and conscientious
judge, and at this distance it seems to us the
Democratic party would deserve the defeat
that would most likely await it in that district
should it turn Richie down. The matter is of
interest to the whole State, as all Marylanders
wish to see men of whom they can be proud on
the bench; and all true Democrats would be
ashamed TO see such rank injustice inflicted, and
such blind folly perpetrated, as would be in
volved in the failure to make John Richie the
candidate. EdSton Ledger.

IT is curious fact that Russia, one of
the poorest of civilized countries,
makes q greater parade of wealth in
one respect than any other European
state. The domes Of all the great
churches in st. Petersburg, Moscow,
and other large towns are plated with
gold nearly one-quarter ofan inch thick.
The new church of the Saviour, dedi-
Gated and opened in Moscow, last Au-
gust, represents value of fully $15,-
100000 The Isaac cathedral in st.
Petersburg, may safely be credited with
at least thrice that amount. So strong,
however, is the old Sclav belief in the
inviolable sanctity of "holy places"
that during the countless seasons Of
wide spread and bitter distress, no at
tempt has ever been made to plumber
the gold thus temptingly exposed. In
deed, one of the finest churches in St.
Petersburg, (the Kazen cathedraD, owes
its massive silver shrine to voluntary
offering of the plumber taken by the
COssacks in 1872

Two years ago two strangers offered
Mr.. Ivison, Ida's father, 5000 to sign
paper, the contents of which he was
not to know. Ii aroused his suspicious,
and he went to Scotland, for his broth

Goughs Embarrassment

From John B. Coughs New Book, Sunlight and
Shadow"
The only instance of embarrassme on,
| could not overcome, occurred many
years ago. 1t was my own fault. and
and proved sharp lesson to me. was
engaged to address large number of
children in the afternoon, the meeting
to be held on the lawn back oftbe
Baptist church in Providence, r. |. In
the forenoon a friend met me and
said:
II have some first rate cigars, will
you take few"
"No, l thank you"
DO take half dozen"S
II have nowhere to put them"
"You can put half dozen in your
cap"
i wore cap in those days, and
put the cigars into it, and at the ap-
pointed time | went to the meeting. I
assembled the platform and faced an
audience of more than two thousand
children. As it was out of doors |
kept my cap on, for fear of taking
cold, and forgot all about the
| cigars.
Towards the close of my speech |
became much in earnest, and after
warning the boys against bad company,
bad habits, and the saloons, said:
"Now, boys, let us give three rous-
ing cheers for temperance and cold
water. Now, then, three cheers. Hur-
rah p
And taking off my cap, l waved it
most vigorously, when away went the
cigars right into the midst Of the audi
ence.
The remaining cheers were very
faint, and were nearly drowned in the
laughter of the crowd.
| was mortified and ashamed, and
should have been relieved could l have
sunk through the platform out of
sight My feelings were still more ag-
gravated by boy coming up the steps
of the platform with one of those
dreadful cigars, saying:
Here's one of your cigars, Mr..
Cough"
Though l never afterwards put cigars
in my cap or hat, when going to
meeting, am ashamed to say it was
sometime after that before l gave up
cigars altogether

DIALOGUE or THE HORSES.
FIRST HORSE.


We are the pets of men
The pampered pets of men.
There is naught for US too gentle and good
In the gracclu days of orr babyhood.
We frisk and caper in childish giee--
Oh, none so pretty and proud we
They cheer and cherish us in our play
Oh, none 80 snilingly sweet rs they
And when little our lives have grown,
Each has n table and room his own
waiter to I'LL his bill Of fare
4 barber to clean and comb his hair.
Yes, we are the pets of men
The pampered pets of men
They show us, gaily dressed and proud,
To the eager eyes Of the clamorous crowd;
They champion us in the rafting race,
They praise our beauty and cheer our pace;
They keep for us our family trees
They trumpet our names beyond the seas;
They hang our portraits on their walls,
They paint and garnsh and gild our stalls.
Yes We are the pets Of men--
The pampered pets of mem
SECOND HORSE.
We are the slaves Of men
The mental slaves Of mem
They lash us over the dusty roads
They bend us down with murderous loads;
They fling vile insults on our track
And know that we cannot answer back;
In winds Of Winter or Summer sun,
The tread Of our toll is never done,
And when we are weak and old, anu lame
And labor stiffened, and bowed with shame,
And hard Of hearing, and blind of eye.
They drive US out in the world to die.
Yes, we are the slaves of men
The slaves Of selfish men,
They draft US into their bloody spites
They spur us, bleeding, into their fights
They poison our souls with their senseless ire,
And curse us into storm of fire.
And when to death we are bowed and bent,
And take the ball that for them was meant,
Alone they leave us to groan and bleed,
And dash their spurs in another steed'
Yes, we are the slaves of men
The slaves of british men!
