Mr.. PAYNE is elected mayor by a
good majority. He comes into of
fee as the nominee of party, the
first for many years. Heis backed by
a majority of Democratic aldermen.
Whatever may be good in his admin
istration, his party may claim credit
for; for whatever error is committed,
the blame must lie at the door of
that party. To carry out the prin-
pie upon which he was elected, it
will be in order for the Democratic
aldermen to meet in caucus and
nominate and elect none but Demos
cratic policeman. We would not
complain if they should do so. In
the election of Mr.. Payne as the
nominee of a party, he and the
Democratic aldermen have full war
rant for such proceeding.
Whatever course may be taken,
whatever may be done by the
new administration, which, in
our Judgment is for the welfare of
our prosperous and fast growing
city, shall have our hearty and core
cordial support. We will condemn
what we believe is wrong, but will
at all times endeavor to criticise in a
spirit of fairness and candor.
Against the new mayor, personally,
we have nothing to say. He is a
gentleman of character and business
capacity. He is capable of manag'.
ing the fnanci al affairs Of the city
successfully and well, and we trust
be will do it. We did not favor his
election, and under the same circum
stances, would oppose himSAgsh4, but
for the sake ot the city we trust his
administration will be a success.

Japan's National Flower

The cherry blossom is the national
flower of Japan, as the rose is of
England, the lily of France, the thistle
of Scotland, and the shamrock of Ire
land. On the Mikado's flags, pages and
carriages, and on the soldiers caps and
uniforms, you will see the open ohrys-
anthemum But the flower of the peo-
pie and the nation is the flower of the
blossoming cherry tree. The japanese
cultivate all over Japan the sakura tree,
which is valued only for the beauty of its
blossoms. FrAm an entire tree you
could not get ripe cherries enough to
make pie; but the blossoms are massed
together on the boughs like clouds, and
the blooms are often as large as rose.
Picnics in Japan are called "going to see
the flowers" In June millions of people
go out to sing and sport and laugh and
play under the cherry trees, or to catch
ssthe snow showers that do not fall from
the Skies" Some of the people become
so enchanted with the lovely blossoms
as to even worship the famous old trees.

LOVES CONFIRMATION.

He came to the bowerof her love,
Twanging his sweet guitar;
he called her In song his snow-white dsvo,
His lily, his fair, bright star.
He sang that his love was beyond compare
His voice sweet as his song.
He said she was pure and gentle and fair;
And thought that he wasn't far wrong.
Why, he sang and played till the moon was high,
And sweet was the love-born strain,
I'LL the night caught up each tremuious sigh,
And echoed each sweet refrain
He told that he loved her, o'er and Ger,
With passion in every word,
In songs that never heard before,
And sweeter ones never were heard.
And Twas 1 jealous? Well, scarcely, no
was glad to hear his lay:
even echoed him, soft and low,
When he sang what wanted to say.
For, while he stood meath the window-sili,
Singing my darling's charms,
sat In the parlor dark and still,
With the girl that he sung III my arms
And what in thunder did have to be mad about7

Hindoo Frankness.

Frankness is quality of which we, as
nation, boast, and yet it may be fairly
owned that the census returns just given in
Bombay put us to shame in one particular.
Asked to state their profession or calling,
these simple Hindoos have filled up the
paper with an accuracy that might in vain
be sought for in this country. We cannot
point to single avowed criminal; yet in
Bombay there are, upon their own con-
fession, twenty-six gamblers and swindlers,
one dog poisoner and sixteen wizards. Our
engravers in wood are 'artists, and our
shopkeepers merchants" In Bombay,
the 69S tattooers who inhabit the land desig-
nate themselves by no other name, but
claim the distinction of the exact art they
practice. So too, the forty-one idol
makers are proud of the craft which lifts
them above their fellows, while no mere
scribblers Of doggerel dispute the palm with
the single poet of the province. These
evidences of ingeniousness do not exist in
Western civilization, and we may sigh for
them in vain. Perhaps, on the other hand,
Bombay would have been just as vel
pleased had their gamblers and swindlers
wizards and dog poisoner, kept some Of this
information to themselves. T. London Tel,

A Wicked Doctor and u Wicked Sidow
Creating Scandal at Tarrytown, N. Y.
New YORK, Nov. l1.-Mrs. .IIortense H.
Furman of Tarrytown has brought action
against her husband, DIR. j. n. Furman for
Improper conduct with widow,
Mrs. Mary E, Strong, formerly the wife OF
Col. Strong, the poet. Mrs. Furman has
also commenced suit against the widow for
breaking up her home and cnticing her hlIs-
band away from her, claiming S25, 600 dam
ages. 1t is alleged that through the assist
ance of Mrs. Furman, herhusband acquired
a wide practice in his profession in Talry-
town, worth about S. 900 per annum but
after becoming infatuated with Mrs. Strong
he allowed his practice to run down by
neglect.
The acquaintance of Dir. Furman and
Mrs. Strong, she alleges, eliminated in
their marriage in one of the Western States,
where the doctor claims to have obtained a
divorce from his wife. The community OF
Tarrytown is greatly excited over the
matter. The case is expected to be tried in
the Supreme Court at White Plains at the
December term. Interesting Developments
are looked for.

DailuaI Gnsette
w,LMINeroN. MONDAY. nov. IS
The Next Congress.

Unless President Arthur calls special
session of Congress- contingency highly
improbable and not likely to arise = the
Democratic House of Representatives chosen
ON the seventh instant will not assemble in
Washington until the month of December,
1883, more than year from the present
time. But one session Of this Congress VIII
therefore be held prior to the great Presi-
dental campaign Of 1884.
IL the Democratic majority has the inter
est of the party at heart, and desires to aid
ii in the next national struggle, it will learn
wisdom from experience, and SO direct its
deliberations as to strengthen the hands OF
the people, instead of furnishing political
capital TO the enemies of the Democratic
party.
First Of all, the next Congress must keep
the business of " President making
entirely out Of sight. 1t was the fight for
candidates that weakened the Democratic
party In the campaign OF 1880, and the
efforts to "kill Tilden," crush Bayard,
Z" choke Thurman" and politically damn
every other gentleman whose name was re.
motely connected with the nomination in
jected q feeling of bitterness thai
ranked among the different fac.
tions all through the campaign
and deprived General Hancock of tha
hearty, united support of the party TO whiel
he was Justly entitled. Had the party re
served the vim and bitterness of the nomi
nation contests for the great battle agains
the common enemy, the Republican part.
would have been beaten out of sight at tn
polls, and General Hancock would be Presi
dent of the United States to-day.
The Democratic Congress, therefore
should give politics the least attention
possible, and conflne its energies to two i'm
portant items OF business, viz The appro
prIation bills and the reduction of the publi'
revenues so as to relieve the people of thu
burden of taxation that now rest
heavily upon them. This need mo-
take more than three months, and
the members who combine to effect this re
suit will not only put money into their owl
pockets, by saving the expense of Ions
stay in Washington, but will make grant
record forNthe Democratic party, and star
it upon the campaign with all the elements
OF success attending its principles and ii
candidates.
We therefore hope the Democratic Con
gross will prove true to the trust confde'
in it by the people, and thus keep the wa
clear for another grand victory in 1884.
