AFTER THE STORM - A CALM.


The political atmosphere which
hereabon.s was q short while ago
rather disturbed has become all Sc
rene since the election and perfect
quiet reigns once more. To the quiet
observer of passing events the short
campaign for the selection of Judge
has clearly demonstrated several
things worthy of remark.
That there is dissatisfaction ex-
listing in the ranks Of those who
have been tried and who were al
ways in the past true to party me
thods and loyal to party principles
is not to be denied. Some of the
best men ia the country voted the
independent ticket. This is partly
to be explained by the fact that
many of them thought the issue was
not political in it's character, but
that does not account for all of the
dissatisfaction. There was wide.
spread criticism of conventions as a
means of defeating the popular
choice and it bchooves the Demo
ocratic party when it inaugurates
another campaign to be prudent in
its choice of candidates. The pri-
mary election was without doubt
a move in the right direction, and as
far as it may be practicable hereaf-
ter it will be wise to adopt that plan
in succeeding elections. 1t is per-
haps the only way of securing full
and entirely free expression of popu-
lar sentiment and with ample time
to give the voters notice, there can
be no objection to it, that we can
discover now.
The election has shown, too, that
neither the white nor colored voters
are as ready to obey the dictates OF
party leaders as they were wont to
be in the past. The time was, but is
no more, when they Will vote b!inhly
for the party candidate, because he
is the party candidate. The voters
are claiming and exercising the
right of scrutinizing and discrimina.
ting. This is really a healthy sign,
as it shows an elevated public septi,
mcnt, and no harm can come to the
Democratic party from its fnll de
yeIopment, if it is wise cnoUgh tc
select only it's best men for public
positions.
One who chooses to look below the
surface of things might see in the
history Of this last campaign, also
an illustration of the tendency to
the disintegration Of parties which
has been threatened for years past
and which follows, perhaps necessa
rily, from the want of OPPOSITION
The Democratic party, with its State
and National organizations and the
record of which its followers have
just reason to be proud, must of ne.
cessity and will be the strong party
and if it displays common prudence
it will in the future, as it has in the
past, be successful over all competi.
tors, but there are in the signs of the
times enough Of warning to bid it be
on it's guard and to be careful in the
selection Of its standard bearers
when it next seeks the endorsement
of the people.

The Elephant.

There is no creature in the world so
cunning as the elephant, and no creature
moreover, so full of duplicity. Its clev-
erness at Stimulating attachment to its
keepers can only be equalled in the hui
man race by the hypocrisy of the slave
toward his master. The elephant in the
Jardin DIES Plantes, in Paris, never for
gave his keeper for having made him
ridiculous before the crowd assembled
to witness his performance on a penny
trumpet, which the poor man had been
at the greatest pains to teach him. A
note came out in "J'ai du bon tabac'
with shlill shrek, when it should have
been a deep contralto. The creature
was vain of its artistic skill, as all artists
are, and, finging down the trumpet
made a charge against the iron bars of
its cage, which sent the crowd flying
right and left in the utmost terror, while
the keeper, who fortunately had time
to creep through the opening left at the
bottom of the cage for the purpose of es-
cape in time of danger, ran out of sight
Immediately. He never dared enter the
cage again, for he knew by the express
sion of the creatures eye that the
grudge was owing still. The new keeper
wisely withdrew the penny trumpet and
.'J'ai du bon tabac" was heard no more.
To wound the vanity of the greatest of
beasts is as dangerous as to trife with
that of the greatest of monarchs. =

Women the Best Dressed

American women are unqestionably
the best dressed nowadays. Why it
should be is question too profound to
enter on here. Much and subtle analysis
would have to be expended on that
problem. One explanation which seems
to lie ON the surface may be that while
deciding with authority on questions of
taste, and fully competent to judge
them, they bring to the business a GER
tain originality of conception and nation
al freshness of idea which pervades the
result, making it not only charming in
itself, but exactly suitable to the wear
er. American women-those at least
who visit Europe--have generally the
pull over English women in money
matters, and as we said before, they not
only have the money to spend, but like
spending it on dress. But, besides that,
there is discernment of the fitting, a
happiness of choice, which they bring to
rather than find in the studies of high
art in dress. High art by the way, is
woefully wanted just now to ward off
certain deformities the feminine part of
the human race is threatened with.
Tight-lacing, vice always lying in wait,
is now openly advocated and enjoined.
The waist is to resemble in roundness
and harshness the mainmast of ship,
only it must not be thicker than a spar
High, square shoulders are Sin, and
ladies whose graceful sloping lines were
once the admiration of the world, now
insert hoops of whalebonei in their sleeves
to preserve unbroken the straight line
from the neck to the top of the ARM

DR.. Wakeley's Happy Thought.

The late Rev. DIR. j. B. Wakeley re-
lated to me, with great glee, how he ex-
treated himself once from q most awk-
wark dilemma. Preaching in a Hudson
River town ON warm Summer afternoon
to congregation of farmers, mainly
from the text, ''If any man draw back,
my soul hath no pleasure in him." he
inadvertently observed, "My brethren,
sheep never fight" Those who We're
awake looked up at him, and showed, by
their interest, that the minister had
never seen two old rams trying to butt
each others brains out. The Doctor dis
covered his mistake as soon as they did,
but not seeing his way out of it he re-
peated the statement with greater en-
phasis. Those of his audience who were
awake nudged their sleeping brethren,
who, on opening their eyes;looked about
to see what had happened. This greatly
embarrassed the Doctor, and he was now
sadly puzzled. He ventured, with still
greater emphasis, to repeat the state
ment: 'sMy brethren, sheep never
fight" when luckily he saw his way out,
and doubling his fist, struck it into the
palm Of the other hand, adding, with
genuine unction, Except they first
draw back. Hooper.

Anecdote of Judge Story.

The following anecdote about the
famous jurist Story is in private circula-
ton, but. is good enough for the public
eye. 1t was prepared for Story's biog
raphy by his son, but Charles Sumner,
who edited the work, struck it out. The
narrative runs like this: In his younger
days Story lived in the aristocratic town
of Salem, in Massachusetts. His great
ability was not then tempered by as
much wisdom as he afterward displayed,
and he was looked upon with disfavor by
some Of the old families. One day Mrs.
A. called upon Mrs. B., and in the course
of their conversation = there being a
seamstress present-Mrs. A. asked Mrs.
B. if her daughter was going to the
party that evening. NO." was the
short reply; 81 don't propose to let
my daughter go to any place
which is frequented by that
Insignificant young puppy Story"
Years afterward, when Mr.. Story
was Judge on the Supreme Bench,
He visited Salem, and was kindly well
coined by those who had known him
formerly. Among his best friends APP
parently was Mrs. B., and he accepted
her pressing invitation to dinner. Now,
in the years which had elapsed, the
seamstress had become possessed OF a
home of her own, to which was attached
garden with pear tree, which was
just then loaded with fine fruit. After
the invitation to dinner had been ac-
cepted the seamstress received call
from Mrs. BIS servant, asking her to
send up basket of her excellent pears
for dinner, as ''Mr. Justice Story, of
the Supreme Court of the United States,
was going to be present. The good
natured seamstress sent the pears at
once, and with them this message:
''Tell your mistress that | am glad the
insignificant young puppy Story has
grown to be so fine dog"
