One of the old-time editors of
Michigan was boasting the other day
that he had never been sued for libel,
or attacked in his sanctum, but he could
call many narrow escapes. Twenty Five
years ago he was running red-hot
paper on the line of the Michigan Cen
tral railroad. A man named Carson,
who was running for some county office,
was given bad racket, and the editor
received note that if he had anything
more to say he might expect to receive
a good pounding. He had still more
bitter attack the next week, and the
paper was hardly mailed before in

Natures Revelation.

One morning, ere the sparkling dew,
From heavens clouds distilled,
Had lost the pure, resplendent hue,
With which each drop was filled.
Ere sluggish sun his beams poured out
From placid sky above,
While nature seemed at peace throughout
And filed with tranquil love
rambled through a'fowery dale,
Rspturously beholding,
Through woodlands glossy, verdant veil,
Glories bright unfolding.
Bright budding blooms, with glory crowned
And brilliant tints suffused,
Were opening as the zephyrs round
Their fragrance sweet diffused.
Triumphant bursts Of rhapsody,
From feathered songsters showed
The love that in their melodies
In sweetest cadence flowed.
The leafy boughs outspreading high,
In lavish yerdure dressed
Were softly toning natures sigh,
BY balmy zephyrs pressed.
The ripping brook in winding way,
Ger mossy, rock -strewn bed,
Was babbling soft plaintiye lay,
BY natures fancy led.
Now brightly 'thwart the eastern sky
A golden, pencilled ray
Sent halo grand to God on high,
From sun on azure way
In dreamy cadence floating by,
The coo of gentle dove,
Seemed inspiration from on high,
To teach that God was love.
While sweet in loves humility,
Was perched the cooling dove,
My soul in glad tranquility,
Knew natures God is love

Tho EIeCtiOna.

Maryland and Mississippi will give
their usual Democratic majorities to-
morrow, although in the latter State there
is a fair Republican majority of 10000.
Voting has nothing whatever to do there
with the result
Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nebraska,
and Wisconsin will give their regular
Republican majorities.
Only in New York, Pennsylvania, and
Virginia is the contest exciting.
In New York the leadership is not in
the best hands, and the old generals,
who are this year marching as privates,
cannot harm the enemy as much as they
have sometimes been able TO do. The
New York Times, which shares the
honors with the Tribune as the joint
organ of the reconstructed party, val
iantly proclaimed yesterday that the
prospects for Republican success were not
encouraging. The Tribune, on the other
hand, distends its cheeks most danger
ously in blowing its bugle-call for the
charge, and scofls at all croakers. Be-
tween the eXaggerations of the latter
and the timidity and treachery of the
former let us hope for fairly good re-
suits. Flower is crowding Astor very
hard in the Morton District for Congress
There are some fears entertained for the
Legislature, Victory will speak volumes
for the popularity of the new President.
Failure will teach wholesome lesson as
to weak leadership.
In. Pennsylvania the pestilent crew
of malcontents, headed by Wolfe, Mac
Veagh, and Mcclure, are masquerading
as Reform Republicans for the pur-
pose of giving the State over to the Demo-
Gratis. This work was commenced last
winter during the senatorial contest, with
very powerful though invisible backing.
The Democrats have weak candidate,
which will give Wolfe, the Dolly Warden
candidate, some Democratic votes. 1t is
not probable that he can secure Republi-
can votes enough to prevent the election
of Baily, the Republican nominee.
In Virginia the greatest interest is CEN
tered, because if the Bourbons can be de-
feated there, as it is confidently believed
they will be, the Solid South will be
broken. The Legislature to be elected
chooses United States Senator, and this
adds to the importance of the contest
To-morrow's work will much simplify
the political calculations for the future.
The deieatof the Democrats in New York,
Pennsylvania, and Virginia would per-
haps destroy that party as an organiza-
ton and compel new party divisions.
On the other hand the loss of New York
or Pennsylvania, or n narrow escape in
either, would open the eyes of Republi-
cans to the necessity of making the most
of an anti-BouIbon victory in Virginia
by encouraging similar movements else
where.

An Explanntion.

A lady friend, who is constant read
er" of THE REPUBLICAN, q few evenings since pro-
pounded to a local junior conundrum which has
put him TO much thinking. 1t was in effect 1--WE
say In effect for the beauty of the language and
the sthetic pose of the loquitor can never be de-
scrbed or repeated), "Why all years are not leap
years; why, IN fact women have not the same
right to propose that they have to dispose3" Now,
TO confess the truth, the local to wnom this per-
picking question was propounded is q single man,
an unmarried man, albeit rather q handsome fell
low, with some expectations (Which latter remark
isput in not from vanity or as an advertisement
but to have the reader fully In the stuation) or
course the local looked blankcd, blushed, walked
backward out of the room, and said, "Good
night-will see you later r"-or words to that
effect. We have since then dived deep into the
lore of the courtshp of all nations Let us call the
attention, through the the columns of THE REPuB-
LIcAN $50 year. payable in advance), of our
young lady friend to the startling fact that In q
part of New Grenada the right OF asking in mar
riage is promscuously exercised by both sexes,
who, feeling the passion of love, declare 1t without
embarrassment. and that among the Co.'S
sacks the women actually do the court
ing. When o Cossack woman falls in love
she goes to the house of the father
Of her young man and "tells her love" In the
most pathetic manner-never yielding to the fool
ishness of allowing "concealment like worm In
the bud to feed on her damask cheeks" or any
thing Of that sort, but in business-like manner
"pops the question" Should the idiotlc and in
sensible man daily, delay. postpose, or decline,
she simply takes the best seat in the front parlor
and declares she will there remain until he gives
his consent. She demands the best lodgings and
the seat of honor at the table, and 1t is accorded
her. His kindred dare not turn her out, else all
her kindred turn Ku-klux and eyerlastingly go
for the entire family. He has but one method OF
escape, and that is incontinently to run away.
We are struck with the beauty and good sense OF
the Cossack CUSTOM and suggest Its early adoption
in this country.

Virginia To-NIorrow.

Tomorrow will be q day of great inn
port in the political future Of the United
States. The great struggle for political
freedom in the South will either have its
quietus in Bourbon victory in Virginia
or it will by q contrary result make such
n gain that it must 20 on conquering and
to conquer. The prospects for n liberal
triumph are excellent. The rage of the
Bourbons is the best evidence of that
The bitterness of the Democratic party
toward Malone is proof that it is his
lance they most dread in this conflict be-
tween the Old and the New.
The case is plain one. Sixteen South
ern States have thirty-one members of
the United States Senate, of which num-
ber not less than thirteen are usurpers
chosen by so-called Legislatures, n major
ity of whose members were falsely de-
clarod elected. BY "a similar suppression of
majority in half the Southern States not
less than forty members of Congress are
usurpers, falsely declared elected. BY
these means the two houses of Congress
are divided evenly between two parties,
one of which should outnumber the
other by about two to one. This is q
subversion of the government of the
people. The remedy for it is by the
emancipation of the majority in half a
dozen Southern States. In accomplishing
this the leadership of native confederates
promises the speediest results. In Virginia
this leadership has been found. Malone
and his able lieutenants, Paul, Fulkerson,
Cameron, Riddleberger, Wise, Elan, and
others are Mt the fore. With them are
the great body of the Republicans, white
and black, with here and there missing
sutler only. They have broken the ranks
of the Bourbons and released thousands
who are glad to come up out of the last
ditch" in which the confederacy died.
Everywhere they have upheld the stand
ard of the Constitution, the Union, and
the enforcement ofthe laws in the face of
contumely and of violence. To-morrow's
sun will doubtless set upon victory for
Liberalism, for freedom, for law, and for
the genuine restoration of the Old Domin-
ion to the place to which she is entitled
in the Union of the States.
AS Virginia now saves the Senate from
Bourbon control by her brave and patri-
otic Senator, General Malone, so, in 1888,
should the enemy prevail in New Jersey
and Oregon, the Senator she chooses
this year will, by his vote, be able to
overcome what would, in case of such dis
appointment, otherwise be tie. Davis
of Illinois and Kellogg of Louisiana will
be succeeded by a Republican and DEM
ocrat. Should Mcpherson of New Jersey
and Grover of Oregon be succeeded by
Democrats like themselves, the new Vir-
ginia Liberal to be chosen thisyear would
save the Senate from tie on the 4th o.
March, 1888. The importance of the re,
suit in Virginia cannot be overestimated
We are glad to be able to say that there
is every assurance of Liberal success.
