The New York EUensng Post says: The
republican leaders should indulge in no
delusion about it; the people have begun
to become tired of the republican party as
it has been for some years. What is need
ed and what the people demand is party
with new aspirations and aims, as well as
with new organization.

over period of forty years, clearly show
how strong and enduring has been and is
the hold of the democratic party upon the
political sentiments, passions and purposes
of the masses of the people of this coun-
try, The uprising of the last election is
but a natural outcome of these sentiments,
passions and purposes. The democratic
party went out of power IN 1860 through
the division of the democratic votes be
tween Douglass, Breckenridge and Bell,
and it was thereafter kept out of federal
power because the leu jlictn administra-
ton was in control of the military and po-
litical machine of the civil war After
1866 when the contest in the field ended
the republican party retained power
through the INSCRIPTIONS use of this po-
litical and military machine upon the pas
sions of the people. Finally, in 1877, the
electoral commission dishonesty and dis
gracefully seated Hayes. In 1880 intestine
democratic divisions and miserable person
al jea1ousies, especially here in New York,
with the cowardice of certain democratic
leaders who shrank from facing the great
Questions of the tariff and taxation, de-
feated Hancock. In the face of this SIM
pie and unassailable statement of histor-
ical facts, what can be more fatuous than
the gable of Mr.. Blaine? The defeat of
1882 mot so signal as that of 1874p In
New York, for example,? In 1874 the re-
publicans of New York went down before
Tilden under majority of $4,000. In
1882 they go down before Cleveland under
a maj ority of nearly 10000. Will Mr..
Blaine find any single instance of 'defeat"
in 1874 quite equal" to the crushing over
throw of his own whole lire of battle
formed against Mr.. Belmont in the First
district of New York by majority of fif
teen thousand votes?

To the accomplishment of that result his
influence as private citizen will be ex-
erted. He believes that republican sue
cess in 1884 is essential TO the welfare of
the country
Dir. Blaine has at last found his yoca
ton He may defy competition as the
champion whistler of dark nights in q
graveyard. But the friends of Mr. Blaine
must give up talking about the accuracy
and fullness of his political information as
to the political events of American history
The presidential elections of 1910 and 1914
were certainly important enough to war
rant his looking up the record vote before
he talked about them. This was the result
in 1910.

An Encounter With a Grizzly.

Not long ago B. ID. Smith, an exper-
fenced frontiersman and hunter OF Burnt
Fork, Wyoming, WAS out hunting near
the rancho of George Stahl, on Burnt
Fork, accompanied by his two faithful
dogs. Armed with his well-tried rifle
he was hunting for any game. big or
little. that might turn up, but was not
aware II til almost too late that one oil
the most powerful and ferocious beasts
known to this continent was carefully
and determinedly hunting for him; but
such was the fact. The grizzly stole a
march on the hunter, approaching at a
rapld bound, and was within ten feet
before he was discovered. 1t was only
the work of moment for Mr.. Smith to
get one we'll directed shot from his rifle
anG for the bear to reach him with his
huge claws. At this interesting juno
rure the dogs proved faithful allies,
doubtless saving their masters life.
They attrcked the bear III the rear with
all their power, mometarily drawing his
attention. This enabled Mr.. Smith to
extricate himself and get In few more
shots. The bear is dead and Mr.. Smith
still lives, though he Will bear the
marks of the coufict fer the rest OF his
DAYS. His right arm aud right thigh
orc tarriblv lacerated and he was
brought into Fort Bridger, where the

The Kiss ina History.

1t was by kiss that the dark browed
Judas gave the preordained sign; it was
by kiss that King Ahasuerus signiied
to the trembling Esther that her for
tunes we're no longer at he caprice Of
the mercurial Hsman. A kiss dismissed
the hapless Essex to that melancholy
death which the whimsical love of the
ferocious Elizabeth made dagger in
her life forever after. 1t was kiss that
lulled the victims of Lucretia Borgia's
innumerable inrigues to the nsisome
dungeons of Castle d'Estes. A kiss was
the sign that the perfdious Queen Ksth-
crime de Medici made the token of the
weak Kings assent to the masscre of
St. Bartholomew. Brutus made his
treachery to his benefaetor more odi-
ous by a miscreant kiss at the very mo-
ment his dagger was uncovered for the
slaughter of his adopted father. Will
liam the Conqueror saluted his Confiding
kinsman Harold on both cheeks at the
moment he medItated wrestling his ki g.
dom from him. The kiss ID quite as
often the sign of infidelity as it is of the
amenities of love. Til k-s> "a its worst
and most intolerable lorR however,
is when it is mere perfume
tory observance. What meaning
can the fusilade that salu.es a
bride have to a sensitive soul? The
smack of the minister, it is true, gives
official or perhaps sacerdotal complete
ness to a ceremony now stripped OF
some of its ancient unprescriptiye pic
turesqueness. On entering battle OF
old the knight graciously ssluted the
company by kiss on the blade OF the
sword. At the battle of Ivry old chronl-
clers relate that the gallent knights OF
Franco deliberately drew up in line and
raising their swords, kissed their blades
then set lmpetuously forward with the
lance. Ii Homer is to be taken literally,
the honest heroes of the Uiad
made the kiss to preface nearly every
undertaking from the sacrifice of bird
to the delivery of battle Achilles
actually stopped combat IN order to
give Paris time to go back TO kiss
Helen. Men and women have been
known to risk life and fortune merely to
nladga their fruth in the passing ee-
stasy of a kiss. The mere sensual
qualification tolip meeting hp is not the
inspiration that flows from the tonch-
ing OF the lips, Kisses are the treble
and clefs that mark the perfectest
melody in the song and symphony
life.

tude 81. 81 north and longitude %. 81 west,
his vessel was shaken by what he supposed
to have been submarine volcanic eruption.
1t occurred about s. 90o'clock in the morn
ing. The weather was clear, the sea
smooth and the vessel running by the
wind two miles an hour. Chief Officer
De Beer had the morning watch on deck,
and at the time mentioned he and the look
out man felt the shock violently, the ship
trembling all over as though 1t had struck
rock. Captain Horn, who was exainin-
ing his chart, ran on deck, but could see
nothing resembling rock, nor could any
thing be seen fIom the masthead. He
hove the lead, but found no bottom at 100
fathoms. The pumps we're sounded and
ascertained to be all night. The shock
lasted half minute, but did not stop tht
eerage of the ship. y vessel that arrived
in New York also reported having felt
shock similar to the one described b.

in an interstice in the branches, soft
ened light would enter. Down these
aisles of shadow, to tine regular splash
of slowly moved oars, there moved
along a little Fat or barge. about twenty
feet in length by nine in width. In the
centre of it there was a heap of plain
country furniture-a bedstead, table and
and two chairs and over all two mat =
tresses. Behind this there were piled
pots, kettles and pans, representing the
culinary department. In the bow, in a
chair with rawhide bottom, young
wife of twenty, with little girl Of eight
