The Graduate.

Now watch this young strut of q
youth as he comes forward with his es-
say ON Rome. How full of life and
proud grace is his step. How confident
he is of the fact that he is about to cleo
trify the world with his marvellous store
of knowledge of ancient history. How
bad he seems to feel because. in his
opinion, the governments of the nine
teenth century are unworthy to be COM
pared to the governments of ancient
Rome or Greece. In the eyes of this
knowing youth the steam engine, cleo
tricity and the press are nothing COM
pared to the ordinary palaces and monu-
ments built by the hands of the miser-
able slaves of ancient times. If this
youth had his way. how he would revo-
lutionize affairs. How he would away
with some of the prosy things of to-day,
and in return restore to us the glory
and grandeur of old Rome and old
Greece. But the youth has his own
way but for moment. and therefore he
breaks loose for all that's out. To-mor-
row he goes out into the great big world
and gets lost. To-day he is too big even
for the fine clothes he wears. To-mor-
row his clothes will prove too much for
him, therefore he will leave a part of
them in the care of an uncle. We may
never hear of him again, and he may
turn up some day as a reformed drunk
ard, and again electrify us with his elo-
quence. But the chances are that we
are safe, that this ambitious youth will,
on leaving the stage to-day. be inveigled
into some large store where in the fu-
ture he can devote his powers of oratory
on dry goods boxes, and on his fellow
workers in the basement. - Detroit

A Ring-Dove Romance.

About three weeks ago one of my
male ring-doves suddenly disappeared
one evening, leaving his mate alone
with the burdens of two eggs laid only
a few davs before. The mode of his
disappearance was altogether mysteri-
Gus and has not yet been cleared up
AS he did not appear next morning.
concluded that he had beeA teiZed by
some of the neighboring cats which
prowl about the house in the evening.
Eleven days passed and no sign of him.
Meanwhile the female remained faith
ful to her charge, leaving her eggs only
few moments twice Il day. AT first
she called for her mate when the hour
came at which she ought to be relieved;
but in a few days. comprehending, as it
seemed. that she was widow, she be-
came silent and brooded alone over her
eggs. To my surprise, however. on the
morning of the twelfth day, soldier of
the Alpini brought me the missing
male, saying that he had been found by
another soldier in the woods near the
quarters, that is fully mile off. The
poor little birds tail looked rather rag
ged, and he seemed as if he must have
been in captivity some where, but he
recognized me at once and came to me
without trouble. carried him to the
nest where his mate was sitting and
placed him beside her, wishing to see
what he would do. To my disappoint>
ment he did not seem to recognize her,
and jumped out again, placing himself
upon rod in front of it. l ought to
say that the nest, being in hole
in wall, is somewhat dark, and
that ring-doves do not see without a
good deal of light. In minute or two
the female came out of the nest and
placed herself beside him. There they
recognized each other in an instant, and
such recognition he never saw! The
two kissed each other hundred times.
With cries of the widest delight they
futtered round each other, and at last
in their own way, embraced each other.
The male then entered the nest, looked
ut the eggs, called the mother to come
and sit on them, went in quest of twigs
10 make the nest more comfortable, and
at the end of an hour came and took his
turn on the eggs. The female then
went out, perched on vine, and care
fully trimmed her feathers. Since then
the family life has gone on in the ordi-
nary way. The young doves came out
two or three days after the fathers re-
turn. and are already as large as chick

What noble position Judge Folger
would occupy before the country and the
world to-day, if he had boldly declined the
New York gubernatorial nomination, for
the reason that he could not honorably &C
cept nomination that was dishonorably
made. What glorious opportunity for
an honest statesman to rebuke dishonest
politics was here allowed to slip by unim-
proved. Chicago Journal.
But, then. if it is true, as stated by the
Union, of this city, that Folger was "hon-
estly nominated" why should he resign?
The truth of the matter is, the Journal is
an old fogy. 1t takes the young republi-
can newspapers like our own truth telling
Unaon to know whether Folger was hon
estly nominated or not. 1t docs not make
particle of difference if nearly all the re
publican newspapers in the land keep on
calling Folger fraud, the Union knows
better. 1t knows and says that Folger was
honestly nominated, and that certainly
ought to be sufficient.

The Contents of a Oigarette.

Rocco is one of a half-dozen of Itali-
ans on Carpenter and Christian streets,
Philadelphia, who make q business of
buying cigar stumps from the horde of
youthful scavengers who live in the Itali-
an quarter of this city. An active boy
or girl viii collect half bushel of the
stumps in an hour or so, the work be-
2 ing done between daylight and 8 o.
clock, and between those hours all the
principal streets in the heart of the city
are cleaned The children receive no
fixed price for the stumps, but 10 or Is
cents a pailful is usually paid The
buyers-men like Rocco-wash the filth
lest stumps and spread them out to dry.
A day or so later they are crumbled in
to shreds and allowed to dry for twenty
four hours longer before being packed
in -four barrels and shipped to New
York. A barrel of this stump tobacco
is worth $3.50, but few years ago,
when there was q strong demand for it
in Philadelphia. the Italian dryers re-
eeived trifie more for it. The stumps
were made into snuff In Philadelphia,
but when johnson & Carlins factory on
Third street, above Arch, was destroyed
by fire in 1873 the local demand ceased.
This filthy grade of tobacco is now
bought by manufacturers of cigarettes
and fine-cut chewing tobacco. A whole
sale tobacconist of many years expert
ence declares that when the stump to-
bacco is ground, bleached, favored, and
made up in cigarette paper no one but
an expert can detect the difference be-
tween it and new leaf

For some reason best known to the re-
publican party, the war is to be fought
over again this fall. Surely the Jay Hub
BILE crowd can have but a poor opinion OF
the American peoples good sense If at
this late day the bloody shirt can be sue
acessfully waved, patriots have much to
fear for their countrY's welfare. The
whole country is in the most prosperous
condition, and never in her history has the
southern portion of it made such rapid
strides in the development of all kinds
of commerce. Never in the history of the
south has so much peace and quiet pre-
vailed. Never was she so happy and con-
tented. and now because an election is at
hand, this desirable condition of
things is to be ruthlessly set aside, and a
campaign of vilification and vituperation
is to be inaugurated. and the fires of eter
nal hatred are to be lighted on every south
ern hearthstone. Out upon such villainy.

There are two questions to be voted on
at the coming election in this state which
should not be lost sight of. One is the APP
preparation of something over $500, 900 for
the completion of the state house, which
should receive the support of every citizen.
The other is whether the state shall cede
the Illinois and Michigan canal and all the
lands and appurtenances belonging to it,
to the federal government. This should be
negatived by decisive vote. The canal
and its lands are worth millions of dollars
and should be retained and controlled by
the state. There is supposed to be big
job in this scheme. Springfield Register
The first of the above two propositions
we oppose most positively until such time
as Springfield fulflls her part of the con-
tract in regard to the state house grounds.
The same proposition was before the PEG
pie four years ago, and it was negatived
in the most emphatic manner. Nothing
has occurred since to change the condi-
ton of things and the ARGUS advises each
voter to use his influence and vote for its
defeat again. If, as the State Register says
in regard to the ceding of the Illinois and
Michigan canal, to the United States, there
is big job in the scheme, then it should
be voted down too. But will the Register
inform its readers wherein lies the big
lob"

The Rock Islander this week, devotes
the usual amount of slush to O'Mara, and
the ARGUS would mildly suggest to the
venerable editor of the Rock Islander that
he might, with advantage to himself, let

direct charge of perjury and other crimes
made against him by DR.. Mckinney. The
Doctors letter will be found in to-day's
