by the wind, and her face burned as with white
heat. ''0

'Nay; but, mother" he exclaimed, aghast at

1T is too late; will never listen to your voice
again. 1t has no music for me now; nor will

no account, and blot you like an evil dream

As she spoke she struck the door-post with
such force that the blood trickled from the
bruised and wounded hand, but without heed

"The sight Of you burns and schorches me.

But he did not grow ont Of it. Even after his
experiences at genteel boarding school he
would come back to shudder away from the dull
decorum Of the gentlefolks quarter of his home
to the cosiness warmth, freedom and fun OF the
common folks. Gradually, too, there grew up
in his mind a painful sense Of his fathers posi-
ton. 1t did not come to him early, for from his
babyhood his father had been always a quiet,
goOd-humored cipher, and the perception of
strangeness in conditions rendered SO familiar

came surely, and while he grew more studiously

OriOle Observations,

The busy notes of preparation are
heard on all sides in Baltimore, and
the Oriole will prove an event, the
equal of which in brilliancy, splendor
and extent was never known in this
country. From Monday morning to
the wee small hours of Wedne sday
night, there will be one constant sue
cession of brilliant spectacles. The
pageant Tuesday night the 11th, will
be dazzling in the extreme. The
floats upon which the tableaux will
be shown are of unusually large di-
mensions, being placed upon railroad
tracks and run over the line of march
upon street car tracks. This enables
the construction of the tableaux upon
a very large scale, and insures so
steady and solid a transit as to afford
almost no end of opportunity for dis
play. Not only will the line of
march be illuminated FROM one end
to the other, but the entire city will
be lighted by electric, calcium and
other lights. 1t will indeed be such
night as will live in memory for
years to come. The decorations
throughout the city will of them
selves be worthy of journey to look
upon. Baltimore demonstrated her
great taste in this line at the Sesqui-
Centennial last year. and the inn
provements she will make this year
will surprise all. Everybody APP
pears to be interested in the event
and Oriole is the talk of the town.
The municipal authorities will make
the reception to the distinguished
Frenchmen the most noteworthy of
any that will be rendered them dur
ing their stay in this country. The
most brilliant festivities will be in
auguiated in their honor. and the
grand ball and carnival with which
the three days will end promises to
eclipse all previous attempts at such
sort Of thing anywhere in the coun-
try. Every care will be taken by
the b. & o. to provide the best of ac-
comodation for the transportation of
the immense crowds which will GO
from the line of the road to Balti-
more. The exceedingly low rate of
one-half the usual fare proves very
popular, as also the ten days. limit on
the tickets.

ini<tlng its newly elected members is
NnQDubted. and can no more be Ques-
t"ned than its right to choose a pre-.

SIS 5 not controverted, can be ex-
ercied under a temporary form of
/ organization just as lawfully as if the
Vice President had not been called
to the Presidency and were present
in his former place to receive their
credentials.
We speak of this matter without
any partisan feeling. The principle
that all duly elected members of
body have alright to take part in the
choice of its officers is an important
part of parliamentary ethics. No
party can violate it for the purpose
of gaining an advantage without de-
serving the contempt of all honest
men. Our view of the case now
arising in Washington would be the
same if the attitude or parties We're
changed and three Democrats were
waiting admission to the Senate. The
right of the States to an equal voice
in all the acts 0fthe body is inviolable.
If the Democrats intend to disfran-
chise the State OF New York in the
election of an official who may be
called upon to act as President of the
United States, let them 60 ahead.
The Republicans will want no better
issue to take before the voters of this
State in the canyass soon to open.-

"Does it, after all, pay to be hon
est ?" A disappointed young man
writes. No my son, not if you're
honest for pay, it doesn't. Not if
your are honest, merely because you
think it will pay not you are hon
est only because your are afraid to be
a rogue; indeed my dear boy, it does
not pay to be honest that way. If
you can't be honest because you hate

can't be honest from principal, be a
rascal that's what you are intended
for, and you'll probably succeed at
it. But you can't make anybody be-
