Walter II. Butler has assumed
charge OF and ownership in the Fay.
cite county Union. Mr.. Butler has
tho reputation Of literary turn OF
mind, which we hope may induce
him to look up the history Of the
Democratic party from the days OF
Jefferson to the close Of Buchanan's
administration; to read and study
its platform OF resolutions, unani-
mously adopted from 1882 up to and
including 1860, from the 1st to she
9th resolution. From such reading
and history he will learn that the SO
called democratic party OF to-day
occupies a position Of antagonism to
democratic principles. The princi-
pies ennunciated in the 4, 5, 6, and
8 resolutions to which we refer are
fundamental; are rcpudiated to-day
by the 50 called democratic leaders
and are OF course trampled under
foot by the dominant party, only
finding party support from men who
are in the Greenback party. We
hope the reputed good sense OF Mr.
Butler will commend these princi.
pies to his support and approval
even though it takes him out Of the
present democratic organization ii
the United States.

A Fancy.


From the Cottage Hearth.
The tide goes out and the tide comes In
And gulS hang Whitley about the shore,
Our ears grow used to the waters din,
And we heed the birds quaint flight 10 more
The roses bloom and the roses fade,
The green leaves wither and brown end fail;
The brook from its od-tine course has strayed,
And what does it matter, after all2
We gather moss from the rolling waves,
Or pluck rose that is red and rare:
While their comrades sink into nameie5S grave
We lay these by with careless care.
And so with friends that are dear and true
We love them, ayi with iOve-like flame;
But when they pass from our daily view,
Ills near-ah, NE! is it Quite?-the same.
We put the thought OF their love away
A picture hover. a ring, book;
We breathe prayer that they used TO pray,
And shrine in cur hearts tender look.
But redder roses shall come with spring,
SWeeter and larger than these by far;
And new, bright MOSES the waves Will bring,
A fresh face shine Tor our beacon star.
SO what does it count that the sun goes da1vn,
That waves roll out, and the roses fall.
That eyelIis close over smile or frown7
Ay! what does it count us, after all?

FROM the LondOn truth.
Mourning is going out Of fashion in England
A widows is the only bereavement that must,
according to the canons of society. be symbolzed
by yards of Grape and paramatta. All other de-
grees Of grief for the departed can it seems. be
amply expressed by band of black Grape worn
round the sleeve. This state Of things is. doubt
less. a reaction from the too apparent luxury of
woe prevalent till recently, but it has it's disad-
yantages Once on time we were protected
from the disaSreeable risk of inquiring after the
health Of persons who are no more by the inky
blackness of attire of their surviving relatives
1t is not pleasant to remark casually and cheer
fully to young lady: ''And your father. is he
all right" and to be morally bowled over by the
reply, 'He is dead, accompanied by reproacIl-
full glance at the strip of black which you have
never noticed upon her arm. Surely some com
promise can be made between the heavy black
that was once considered necessary and the
scrap of Grape that is now thought sufficient.
Social pitfalls OF distressing kind ought to be
guarded against, and women are ingenious
enough to devise some means of advertising be-
reavement which shall be patent to all. and yet
compatible with becoming variety of costume
and colors.

WOMEN IN THE BUSINESS.

The Cleveland Press gives these points about
branch OF the detective business:
During the war of the rebellion thousands OF
bounty Jumpers had defrauded the government
and lot of detectives were employed to circu-
late among the newly enlisted men and enter
into conversation with those whom they sus-
pected to be bounty-umpes The latter had
become so bold that they usually hestated but
little in comparing notes with the uIbane Getee-
yves. who also represented themselves as boun-
ty-lumpers. A detective having obtained proof
that tie man to whom he was talking was a
bouaty-Jtimper he would, in confidential man
ner, lay his hand on the fellows shoulder. Fas-
tened on the palm OF the hand was piece Of
chalk, which made a small but very distinct spot
on the jumpers shoulder. When he went out
intending to skip to Canada and enjoy his money,
an officer at the door glanced at his shoulder
saw the chalk mark aid arrested him. The de-
tectiyes worked more than week before the
scheme leaked out. and ever afterwagd the de-
tective in search Of bounty-iumpeTs was called
a "spotter," name since applied to the indi-
viduais who work up cases against railroad en-
ployes.
AS rule. woman makes the poorest kind of
detective; but Pinkerton has two handsome
females in his employ who are most excellent
spoilers" They at one time worked the
western division of the Lake Shore road puT-
suading conductors to allow them to ride free.
ifieSe acts Oh Gallantry caused the men their
heads. A handsome woman always does better
service as 'spotter" than one with plain
features, but no face, however pretty or sad
would prevail upon Lake Shore conductor
Parker to pass its owner. He runs between
Cleveland and Toledo. and it is said of him that
he never passed person or missed collecting a
fare. His strictness has not made him favorte
with the n0madic drummer.
The Pullman Palace Car company employs a
lot of spoilers the year around. They are
called inspectors" They are on the lookout
for crookedness, not only in financial matters,
but also carelessness and any little failing on
the part of conductor.
