Georgiana Ganson.
BY AN owossoAN.

Written for The Times ,i.t .si. g
Georgiana Ganson, at eighteen,
was rare type of wOmanly beauty.
She was tall, with dark brown hair,
and low forehead, and eyes that
were so nearly black as to deceive
almost any casual observer. And
of observers she had enough. Some
of the girls turned up their noses at
her it is true, but they always re-
marked her presence on the street
or in the, little village church--the
only places where she was ever seen
and the young men stood on the
corners by the hour to catch a
glimpse of her, if happily she should
pass, albeit when she did go by, she
went with her proud face before her,
as straight as an arrow, and never
spoke. "'H'''
She was always in the fashion, but
dispensed with adornments. She
had no need of them. The lily at
the end of its stem would hardly be
improved by putting flowers instead
of leaves, on the stalk beneath
That inexpressible loneliness of face,
with it's chiseled mouth and Grecian
nose, could not be improved by rib
bons or flowers. Hers was not a
perfect beauty, and yet the whole
effect of it left that impression. 1t
was mature and womanly and
queenly appearance, and not that of
a child or a picture on the WALL
She had the look of one for whom
men are willing to die! Y ata
Her. father, Deacon Ganson, a
Connecticut Congiegationalist,w was a
graduate of Princeton, and in early
life had been disposed to 60 into
the ministry, but having a slight
attack of conscience or i'll health, he
abandoned his original intention,
and contented himself with being a
model layman, in call godly walk
and conversation, He was a man
who had acquired wealth, but how,
it does not concern us to inquire
In these days Of laxity he would be
called strict. He had a certain easy
but cautious manner towards every,
body, and one Of those inquiring
eyes, which search men out, and
make them feel uneasy. He had
but this one child, whose mother was
now, dead, and it seemd as though
it never had entered into his mind
that she should ever form any rela-
tions other than that she now had.
Indeed, his whole conduct toward
her would seem to have indicated
that he had explicitly designed that
she should have no lover. Georgi-
ana remembered well, that when a
little girl not twelve years OF age,
she had gone to the door in answer
to the bell and admitted the son of

The Republican Party.

The party that saved the union has
not outlived its usefulness to the ma
ton. 1t cannot be denied that polit.
ical arts and that regard so universal
for whatever is established, the allegi-
ance that rests on prescription mere
ly, may prolong the existence Of po-
litical organizations after their cold
forms have ceased to be animated by
the spirit that gave them life. This
is a fact so common in the history Of
the world, and so essential in the
very nature of things, that little faith
would be had in the intelligence of
him who should deny it. Hence,
when the enemies of the Republican
party assert this fact its truth must
be admitted. But when from it the
deduction is made that the Republic
can party has outlived its usefulness,
every honest member Of that party IS
bound to refuse to assent, The truth
of the premise is entirely consistent
with fallacy in the conclusion.
So far indeed from the truth is the
conclusion that the Republican party
has no basis for continued activity,
that it is impelled by every consider
alton of consistency, ofhonor, of pat
riotism and ofpolicy to maintain its in
iegrity Of being and its aggressivcness
Of action. Events are not isolated.

TN law cause and effect is of uni
versal application. To make one
thing secure it may be, necessary TO Sc
cure many other things upon which il
depends. The partyth saved the
nation cannot rightfulIy resign the di-
rection of affairs, without some at
tempt at the settlement Of certain
questions without whose settlement
that salvation would be but mockery
of words. The nation demands of
the Republican party that it secure
the national credit from disturbance,
and that it guarantee to every person
legally entitled to the same, the fulf-
est and freest exercise of every attrib-
ute of citizenship, in every portion of
RE lsnd, and without distinction as to
race, color or previous condition Of
servitnde. Farther than this, the ma
ton demands of the Republican party
that itpfovide against one of the evils
most incident to free government, by
settling, for future necessary obs erv-'
ance, some methods ofgood admins
tration. l.s,i. .alE, .iHl
1t has been the fortune of this par
ty to be tried by the severest ordeals.
The earliest of these, connected as
they are with the most dramatic and
interesting period of our national his
tory, will at once occur to the readers
mind. Nor will more than the merest
mention be necessary to- give prom
inence, in connection with any judg-
ment of the party, to the more re-
cent, associated with the readjust-
ment of a disrupted nations affairs,
and many of them not yet passed in
to the domain of settled issues. =,
But there is another ordeal in which
the party is at present struggling,
which may not be so evident. Al
most unconsciously to ourselves we
are in the midst ola peaceful political
revolution in the United States. Our
political notions are gradually under
going change. Wehave been Sweep
ing on in current Of development
running entirely according to- laws
that are easy to understand, un. il we
have arrived at point where the
dangers Of rocks and shoals have
shaken up considerable furry in
out sentiments and beliefs. Public
opinion is becoming unsettled, but
only because it is becoming less big
oted. 1t futters in wandering flight
only to find where it can most sue
cessful!y alight, The people is be-
coming tired of "bosses"--it yearns
to think and to act for itself. These
signs are in themselves hopeful, pre-
senting opportunities for such action
as is indispensable to the success of
republican government; but the d.
rection that events are seen to take
depends so much upon the political
party in power that its responsibility
is momentous indeed. We shall here
after examine the nature of the politi-
cal revolution here mentioned and the
relation of the Republican party
thereto. o.. s.g'hl ."I 81

I know, In grief like yours, how more than vain
All comfort TO the stricken heart appearsi
And as the bursting cloud must spend It's RAIN
SO grief its tears.
/ know that when your little darllng's form
Had freed the angel spirit iettered there
You could not pierce beyond the breaking storm
In your despair.
You could not see the tender hand that caught
Your little lamb, to shield him from all harm;
You missed him from your own, but never thought
OF Jesus arm.
You only knew those precious eyes were dim;
You only felt those lovely lips were cold
You only clung to what remained OF him
The mortal mould.
But oh, fond parents, lookl The gate unbars,
And through the darkness, smiling from the skies
Are beainlng on you, brighter than those stars,
Your darllngs eyes.
IT'S said that when the pastures down among
The Alpine hills have ceased to feed the hocks,
And they must mount towhere the grass is young
Far up the rocks,
1he shepherd takes little lamb at play,
And ins him gently to his careful breast,
And with its tender bleatng leads the way
For all the resti
That quick the mother follows In Its path;
Then others go, like men whose faith gives hopes,
And soon the shepherd gathers all he hath
Far up the slopes,
And ON those everlasting hills he feeds
The trusting fold in green that never pals,
Look upl Oh, see Your little darling leads

F" NEVER MIND THE HAT, NY BoY.p
A Miner and General sheridan TaIE over
nYnr Incident.

IL is only natural that great generals
who commanded thousands Of men In the late war
should frequently meet men In different parts Of
the country who cherish some incident Of war
life with which private and general were closely
connected. IL Is doubtful II General Phil sheri-
dan,whose famous twenty mile ride to Winchester
has made HIS name familiar IN every household,
ever met a man who broughtup a pleasanter remi
niscence than brown faced, hardy miner did In
this city day or two ago.
General Sheridan was idly sauntering up aud
down the lobby of the Windsor Hotel, deep in
thought and complacently putting at his Havana
and blowing the white smoke into pretty little
rings. Suddenly rough looking man, with face
so heavily bearded that one could see nothing but
the twinkling black eye, approached him, and
raising HIS hat with awknrd embarrassment, said
Good morning, General"
The hero Of Winchester returned the greeting,
touched his cap with military polieness, and then,
trying to peer through the miners heavy beard to
get glimpse of his features the General said:
I'm afraid I've forgotten your face, SIR"
The eyes Of the man from Gunnison twinkled
brighter than ever as he remarked:
It's not unlikely, General scein's we never met
but once afore, you wouldn't be so apt to remem-
bcr me as am you. It's seventeen years since I
saw you last. Things has changed since then. 1t

seat, and for half an hour they fought the battle

1t is related of the late Governor Bag
ley, Of Michigan, who was a strict Sabbatarihn,
that being In Detroit one summer Sunday he was
walking with n companion through little-fre-
quented street OIL the way from church, when he
heard sounds that suspiciously like the click
ing ofiyory balls. lie put his head inside the
door, asked to sec the proprietor, and when that
person presented himself inquired, politely: "Do
you make II practice, sir, to keep your hall open
on sundayY The man glanced quickly around to
sec that nobody was within easy hearing then
bent over and put his mouth close to Mr.. Bagley's
ear us he answered, with significant wink: "Wel,
no, Governor, not as n general thing, you know !;
but If you and your friend there would like to
play quiet game guess can fix 1t for you."

Monday, the price being $4,000.
W. II. Luyster, the brother of the builder, said
last evening: "My brother was offered $4,000 for
the house year ago, but he asked more for 1t.
He had always been Democrat, but he voted for
Garfield, and when he was elected he Immediately
put the price up TO 100000"
