POLITICAL BREvITIES.

n@ The Democratic donkey is said
to have been scared into docility at last.
This is incredible.
E~ The question of reapportionment
is much too important a one to be de-
cided ut this session of Congress.
There is not sufficient time for adequate
discussion. nor is Democratic major
ity the proper one to decide.
~ A Democratic evening news.
paper of Louisville keeps standing at
the head of its columns this legend:
For President, 1884, Winfield Scott
Hancock" No other paper seconds
the motion, and it becomes therefore q
purely local issue.
B@~ A curious insight into Southern
politics is furnished by the card of a
Democratic candidate for Deputy-Sher-
iff in Atlanta. He announces that a
rival candidate is endeavoring to "de-
fame me by inventing and circulating
the report that first came here as a
Yankee soldier in Sherman's army"
and adds: 90 pronounce his statement
a malicious SANDER. l never Served in
the Federal army"
D@ Chalmers may as we'll reassure
himself. General Garfield's Admins
tration will develop backbone enough
to tip out from their seats all those
Congressmen who are holding the same
on false pretenses. That Administra-
ton will make great advances toward a
consummation of that Republican poll
CIV which declares that every man, be
he black or white, has a right to cast
his vote as he pleases and to have it
counted as it is cast.-Erchange.
~ With the moderation and judi
cial fairness peculiar to them, the Dem
ocratic editors have planned President
Garfield's Administration for him. re-
viewed it before it has begun, and pro-
nounced it failure. This is the most
rapid journalistic work on record. Two
months before Presidents Admins
whole four years and set down as weak
and disastrous to the country. 1t is a
wonder General Garfield does not re-
sign at once.--M Y Tribune,

VennOr's System Of Foretelling the
Weather.

Mr., Henry G. Vennor has endeav-
ored to explain the true system of
foretelling the weather. He says it will
not do to rely upon gypsies, Indians, or
wild animals, for they often err, and
that dependence can alone be placed
upon intelligent, educated reasoning
and deduction, based upon the expert
ence gathered during a heightened
period (some years) of active outdoor
life and close observation. and, added
to this, an extensive knowledge of the
weather changes generally Qrom news
papers or telegrams) throughout the
North American continent and portions
of Europe, both of to-day and in the
past. Such requirements, he says, i'm
possible of attainment, as it were,
yesterday, may be reached to-day, when
all classes of the people daily have
placed in their hands, or within their
easy reach. the cable and wire dis
patches of the world in which the
weather has now generally place.

4 Significant Contrast.

The action of the Maine Republicans
In refusing to take advantage of techni-
calities for partisan gain is worthy
something more than passing remark.
Upon strict construction of the stat
utes concerning elections they could
have declared the Republican candi-
date for Governor elected. 1t was only
necessary to count the votes as re-
turned to deprive Mr.. Plaistsd of votes
enough to leave him in n minority.
Leaving ont of she question the intent
of the voter. which tn. Committee were
not bound TO consider, ..:a Fusion can
didate did not receive n majority of the
votes, and under the letter of the law
was not legally elected. The Commit

lieved 1t to be their duty to regard the
spirit rather than the letter Of the law,

And his father said: 1.-The temple is

death. His four eldest sons had gone
with their households, one north, one

his youngest son to close his eyes, and
said to him:
''My son. hast thou ever seen Satan?'

And the son said, eff others saw him

My boy, if your children are not tempt
ed by the flesh, they will not be tempt

heart is true, your child will know his
God. My son, pray for your children,
that they enter not into temptation"

THAT SMALL PIECEE BOY FROM
CHINA.
Twas a little Asiatic

Twas a little Asiatic
Sitting sadly on the deck,
Who with wailinRs loud. emphatic,
Watched his home fade to II speck,
While his safron-hued complexion
Altered to deep olive green.
And the tears of retrUspection
In his almond eyes were seen.
Still he scanned the'far horizon,
Touching neither bread nor meat;
And we feared that he would die soon,
For we could not make him eat
sympathy, and cen religion,
Had for him no hope or cheer.
Speakee You too mucn fool pigeon,
Better China home than here.
Me no likee English iunkee,
English chowchow, too, no nice.
Why no can some roasted monkey?
What for not some piecee mice!
Number one no washec dishce,

win delight his cheeks 81 yellow
Flushed almost To rosy red.
As he worked, an inspiration
In his eager fingers burned.
Each on board made his donation
every scrap TO use was turned
To begin, the galley scuIlion
Gave q WORKOUT cracked guitar,
Which would utter shrieks eolian
As the breeze bore 1t afar;
Stats that were from blinds Venetian,
And a tattered paraSol.
Wondered we at such provision,
Sure IL could not carry ak.
Two old bonnets. an air cushion,
With a handbook painted green,
Rockets two. 10 set IL rushing,
And an ancient crinoline,
Wings from a torn old umbrella,
While n tail OF many rags
Showed in its red, white and yellow
He had Storn the signal fiags.
Vain our taunts, our sneers ihvidious,
For each day the structure grew
Stronger, vaster and more hideous,
Yet more awful the view.
Cloven tongue all barbed and Kissing,
And n snaky horned wig,
Google eyes revolving, whiZZing
In a fiery whirlgig:
Till with joy kong's face resembled
A great orange sent from Seville.
All who saw the kite now trembled,
Twas so very like devil.
And Kong scanned the far horizon,
Till from out the western main
Rose n black and threatening typhoon,
And IL blew u hurricane.
On the poop Kong danced ecstatic,
And he gave his demon string.
As il tugged with curve erratic
Loud and clear VIC heard him sing:
No more chowchow mutton hashee,
Soon me suck fat shark tail I'm,
Soon one pigtail full of cashee
Me give cumshnw joss. Pekin;
Soon me sing my China sing-song,
Chowchow nice bird-nest pud ling.
Ha quai, fly, 20 top-side Chin cnong
Choy. old English junk. Chin chin
Shrieked we all in accents frantic,
"Oh, come back, you China boy!'
Vain: he SCARED o'cr the Atlantic
In a straight course for Annoy.
And the soldiers OF Gibraltar
Saw him whizzing through the sky,
Like a bomb-shcll To the assault, OF
gigantic comet high.
And the tempest waged still windier
As he crossed the great canal,
Till, with but glance ut India.
He reached safe the China wall.
There, in pagoda finer
Far than can tell or write.
That small piecee boy from China
Now reposes with his kite.

She drops all my nails
Through hole in the floor,
Till think can't stand her
A single day more.
But then she's so sweet and so pretty and gay,
I never could spare her for even day.,
That dear little troublesome sister of mine!
If 1 cut my finger,
She wipes my eyes,
And kisses the hurt place,
And looks very wise,
As If she had cured IL;
And when at night
She puts up her arms
And hugs me so tight,
think she's every bit sweet and good.
You may think you could spare her, but new
er could,
This queer little comforting sister of minel
