Inc Republican mass meeting at the Grand
Opera House last evening was a great sue
cess, differing in this respect very much from
the Democratic ''fizzle'' which recently oc

were instructive and inspiring and the great
audience evidently appreciated them.
New York postoffics clerk remarked as
he went out of the Astor House, after paying
his assessment: "You may get the money,
but you can't get the votes. I can 90 over

Office who will vote for Cleveland. They
will all pay up as you please, but they will

adopted the idea in the sixth Maryland dis
trict by scattering copies of the picture of

negro votes.
It is not often that candidate for a seat
in Congress meets with such approval from
all classes as General Merwin does He is
the candidate of the people and not of the
politicians. Everybody respects him and all
who know him like him. He is regarded
with especial favor by the business men of
this city for many reasons, among which is
the fact that he has always believed in up
holding home interests and home trade, and
his practice has been consistent with his be-
lief. He will get great many votes from
business men who appreciate his course in
this respect. They naturally feel that, other
things being equal, the man who has stood
by them is the one they will stand by. And,
by the way, those who seek political favors
in New Haven might proftably initiate Gen
ersl Merwins course in caring for home in
terests. They cannot do better thing for
themselves.

THE PRINCESS LOUISE
And Her Husband at Monterey-Out
for n Holiday.

The correspondent of the San Francisco
Call writes from Monterey 10 that paper that
the princess was III most affsble of the party,
and her largh resounded through the corri-
doris, and il was evident that she led in the
conversation and joking, her sallies Of wit
at times reaching the Office. Seeing the
piano upon entering the parlors, she rushed
10 it without the queenly reserve generally
expected in the movements of members of
the royal family, and with her own hands
opened the instrument. Calling Miss Nc
Neill TO her, the two ladies sat down in front
of the key board and played three figures of
a quadrille. The time was soon changed 10
a lively polka, and az the other members Of
the party could not be enihused into a dance
even to music played by the fingers OF q
princess, her royal highness and Miss Nc,
Neill essayed to siug the mistTere from
Iropgtore, but with ind fferest success. The
princess is possessed OF what might be termed
fair mezz Dsoprane voice, but 10 the song
it did MOI show to particularly good advan-
;age To the meantime the marquis
had retired to his room. The
princess then, accompanied by Lieut..
Bsgot, of the Grenidier Guards, who is with
the party, inspected the billiard-tables, and
evidently p ssed pleasant quarter of an
hour rolling the ivory balls around, and in
other ways the evening, until 1880 o'clock
guished guests retired to their rooms. Yes
lerday the vice-rsgal party were up bright
and early, and parteok of breakfast at 10
O'Clock. After the morning meal the male
members OF the party participated in walk,
while the ladies remained in the hotel. The
princess walked through the corridor several
times, unsccompanied by her maids, and as
the Call representative left the hotel yester-
day her royal highness alone was leisurely
ascending the main stairway and examining
the smiax aud red laurel berries used in
the decoration of the balustrades. 1t is q
noticeable fact, and one TO be commended

THE OLD COTTAGE CLOCK.

On the old old clock of the household stock,
It's hands, though old, had q touch of gold.
And its chimes rang still the sweetest
Twas q monitor, too, though its words were few,
YET thew lived though nations altered;
And its voice, still strong. warned old and young,
When the voice of friendship faltered:
'iTiek, tick" it said-"quick. quick to bed
For nine I've given warning:
Up. and go, or else you know
You never rise soon in the morning
A friendly voice was that old. old clock,
As it stood in the corner singing,
And blessed the time. with g merry chime,
The wintry hours beguiling;
But cross old voice was that uresonne clock,
As it called at dayoreak DO dly.
When the dawn looked gray on the misty way,
And the early air ble~ coldlJ;
Tick, tick, i" il said-'quick, out OF bed
For five I've given warning:
You'll never have health, you'll never get wealth
Unless you're up soon in the morning"
Still hourly the s5und goes round and round,
With a tone that ceases never;
While tears are shed for the bright days fed,
And the old friends lost forever;
Its heart beats on, though hearts are gone
That warmer beat and younger;
Its hands still move, though hands we love
Are clasped on earth no longer.
Tick tick ii said-"lo the churchyard bed
I he grave hath given warning
Up. u D and rise, and look TO the skies,
And prepare for heavenly morning

The death of MFR. Anthony Troilope, says
the London Spectator, without a familiar
knowledge OF whose works no historian who
emulated the style Of Mscanlay would even
attempt to delineate Eaglish society in the
third quarter of the present century, marks
almost the close OF an era. We can never
sgain recall the endless gallery of his social
pictures without sssocialing with them the
thought that he whose imaginative world
they peopled-he whose offspring, indeed,
they in some sense were-has passed away
aud that more and more from the present
date they will represent the fgures, uoi of
the present, but Of former age. For some
time past, indeed, many of The best-known
figures have been assuming slightly re-
mote aspect, not only to the world as it is,
but even 10 the world a. he himself more re-
ceutly pictured il. Even in his own pages
the old order had changed, giving place to
new. His second "Duke of Omnium" was a
very different figure from his first,
aud a much nober one. while in
the third generation, @Lord Silver

impulse than his father, had far less of his

The Medical News, of Philadelphis, has
discovered pretty good argument sgainst
buying quiDins pills. 1t fnds by expert
analysis that only Two of eur seven promi-
nent manufacturers give an honest weight OF
sulphate of quinine in their "tEo-graln"
pills. Those made by one firm contain 2.1O
grains, and next to these are pills containing
199 grains-the others run down 90 low as
L61 grains; and the price varies from y 70,
the highest, to 81 20. the lowest, per hundred.
This discovery of what may be carelessness,
but is more likely to be fraud, takes on =
considerable importance when II is consie-
cred that quinine is one of The most widely
used and expensive of drugs. The poorest
OF these pills fcontaining Isl grains) is sold
for the highest price. g IS; and IN the Other
cases the cost bears no Just relation 10 the
real amount of quinine present. So large q
