HEADQUARTERS OF THE
REPUBLICAN CONGRESSIONAL Con- 1882,
$50 THIRTEENTH ST., NORTHWEST,
WASHINGTON, d. c. AUG. Is, 1882.
Your failure to respond to the circular OF
May 10, 1882, sent to you by the committee,
is noted with surprise. It is hoped that
the only reason for such failure is that the
matter escaped your attention owing to
press of other cares.
Great political battles cannot be won in
this way. The committee cannot hope to
succeed in the pending struggle if those
most directly benefited by success are nm
willing or neglect 10 aid in substantial
manner.
We are on the skirmish line of 1884, with
a conflict before us this Fall os great mo-
ment to the Republic, and you must know
that repulse now is full of danger to the
next Presidential campaign.
Unless you think tina. our grand old
party ought not to succeed, help it now in
its struggle to build up new South, in
which there shall be, as in the North, free
ballot and fair count, and to maintain
such hold in the North as shall insure good
government to the country.
1t is hoped that by return mail you will
send a voluntary contribution equal to two
per cent of your annual compensation, as
a substantial proof of your earnest desire
for the success of the Republican party this
Fall, transmitting by draft or postal money
order, payable to the order of Jay A. Hub
bell, Acting Treasurer, P. o. Lock box $50,

of it, was a curious thing, and I'm 60

mind walking INTO the chair, for it
didn't hurt me much. only [ knocked it
over, and it hit Sue, and she said: ..Oh
my. get me something quick!' and then
tainted away. Mr.. Travers was dread
fully frightened. and said. Run, Jim
my, and get the cologne, or the bay
rum, or something" So l ran up to
Sues room, and felt round in the dark
for her bottle of cologne that she al
ways keeps OF her bureau. | found a
bottle after a minute or two. and ran
down aud gave it to Mr.. TraverS, and
he bathed Sues face rs well as he could
in the dark. and she came TO and said:
'.Do you want to put my eyes out?"
Just then the front-door bell rang.
and Mr.. Bradford (our new minister)
and his wife and three daughters and
his son came IN. Sue jumped up and
ran into the front parlor to light the
gas, and MIR. Travers came to help her.

came IN. and father aud mother came
down stairs TO meet them. Mr.. Brad.

The First Impression.

Mrs. Jones has 4 rich brother in Cali.

he. would make her a visit, and the 9th
er night when Jones went home he
found the. house all in 4 commotion.
and the brother expected by the even
Ing train, SO he fixed himself up with a
laudable desire to make n good first
impression on the rich brother in law
whom he had never seen.

"Yes. it's some kind of as%peculation
they have in mines, but hurry III You II
be late: you'll know him by his resem-
blance to me-"
Jones went down to the depot,
found he was early. lounged around
awhile and then went into the waiting
room and sat down. The heat and the
silence were so oppressive that soon he
began to nod, and the mex moment he
was asleep.
He was awakened BY 4 hand on his
shoulder. A little, ro,y-poly man with
his neck tied up in a red wooden COM
forter, and with features like those Of 4
bronze statue %puckcrcd INTO a mass of
wrinkles. held an old sachel tied up
with Irvine in one hand, while with the
other he shook the indignant Jones.

Jones drew himself up hanghtilv. tho

About Pie.

The dependence of the American ciu-
zen upen his pie is quite TOUCHING. The
amount consumed, il properly arranged
with reference 10 statistical dyspepsia.
would probably exceed the horror
inspiring figures which reformers love
TO cite in regard to the effect of tobacco
ana liquors. From 2j,Cp to $1,000
pies are daily sold in the City of New
York alone. Multiplied by fifty. the
ratio % the population of New York
CITY to that of. the United States. it
woald appeart het over a million and n
half of pies are&a,en every dag sy the
people of the United States. This does
not include the pies made by private
families and large hotels in New YORK;
so that il is safe to saw that n least /.

The Unborn %proclivity Of the female
sex TO gossip and make trouble by
knowing too much OF other peoples AZ
fairs and too little Of their OWN has
given rise TO the moSs-grown slur that
a woman cannot keep secret. The
woman who can keep. q secret through
a period of ascor of years, without ;
much as allowing her husband 10 know
of it. deserves eminently a tablet IN the
shrine of memory, and a few sticks
in the columns Of . newspaper. \ re-
markable and somewhat romautI" case
in point has lately come To light.
''Many years ago." SO the tale begins,
there lived 4 family of the name Of
Blanco. in Santa Barbara The family
was among the most influential! and
richest of the old Spanish stock, and is
known all oyer the. State. Shortly aft
or the birth Of the @nty daughter Mrs.
Blanco waS taken seriously i'll and died.
Upon her deathbed she, was attended
by a faithful friend and companion
from early childhood, Mrs. Del Vale.
the aged mother of A~sseEblyman Del
Vale. To her keeping the diving wom-
an intrusted the disposition Of jeweIry
and diamonds, which are stated To be
of the value of so. ON. The conf
dante. and atrne n she proved her
self to be, as the sequel will Show, was
abiured to maintain the sirIctcst Sc
crecv concerning the possession and
future disposition of the treasure.
Since the receipt of the charge Mrs.
Del Vale has undergone. rs can be
said of nearly every old Californian,
serious revcrseS OF fortune. She iSSaid
to have had a bitter struggle of life.
But never even i'll her darkest days,
did she turn TO the treasure in her "
hands TO amcliOrate her condition and
that of her family. Her husband was
ignorant. until recently. of the wealth
in her possession. Miss Blanco grew
up to ~maidenhood also ignorant of the
lucky windfall in store for her. She
became of marriageable age, and n
short time ago entered into the bonds.
of matrimony with a-y0ung American
of Santa Barbara. Upon the morning
of the wedding day. which proved
such a grand surprise 10 her and her
young husband, good Old Mrs. Dol Ealie
presented the young bride with the
treasure already mentioned, besides
the rousseau that her deceased mother
had worn on her own wedding day.
Thus Mrs. Del Vale fulfilled to the
very letter the last wish of n dy ing
companion. and also showed to the
wide world that there is ut least one
woman who can keep a secret worth
knowing under the most pcrplexing and
adverse. circumStanceS.-San Francisco

they'll never come TO the house again.
