No Indictment Presented.

1t is a noticeable fact that there was
no serious and candid attempt to indict
the Republican party for public mis-
management by any one of the dozen
Democratic statesmen who spread them
selves in set speeches at the Iroquois
Club pow-wow, recently held in this
city. There were the usual amount of
partisan insinuations and unsupported
assertions that naturally belong to after
dinner Democratic harangues, but not
one of the speakers set himself earnestly
at work to impeach the great Repub-
lican party's conduct of public affairs
during the twenty-three years that it
has been in charge of the Federal Ad-
ministration. This is all the more no
ticeable for the reason that all the
speeches were the prepared and studied
efforts of their authors, and all of them,
with one exception, were in type from
the prepared manuscript of the speakers
before the banquet took place.
1t is significant that none of these big
Bourbon guns loaded up with long
list of charges against their political
opponents with which to make out an
Indictment before the people. Surely,
if the career of the Republican party
for over twenty years has not been in
the highest degree salutary and con-
sistent with the claims of patriotic duty,
some of these professional politicians
would have found it out and pro-
claimed it.
1t is, therefore, highly compliments
ry to the party now in power that 50
little fault can be found with it, and
that on an occasion like the banquet
referred to-an occasion designed to
promote the interests of the Demo-
cratic party-the opportunity was not
embraced by some one to contrast the
virtues of Democracy with the vices of
Republicanism. That it was not done
is prima-facie evidence that it could not
be done successfully, and hence not one
of the bibulous Bourbon orators dared
to undertake to assail the Republican
management, even in a set speech con-
cocted beforehand in the solitude of his
study.
This was sign of wisdom on the
part of these banqueting statesmen, for
the reason that almost every important
question of public policy that has arisen
since the Inauguration of the first Re
publican Administration under Mr.. Lin
{ In has been settled in accordance with
he demand of an enlightened public
sentiment, and in defiance of the protests
of the Democratic party. The Southern
half of it, and the larger half, aided and
encouraged by the Northern half, was
responsible for secession, rebellion and
he horrors of bloody four-years civil
war, and it fought all and singular
the measures that were intended
to settle the controversies grow
ing out Of that terrible event.

There is nothing in the attitude of the
Democratic party connected with re-
bellion or reconstruction that is cal
cu1ated to arouse the enthusiasm or
challenge the admiration Of the peo-
pie. The same 9may be said of the
methods of carrying ON the war, issuing
greenbaeks, abolishing slavery estab-
fishing the National banks, the re-
sumption of specie payments, the pay
ment of the National debt, and nearly
every other wholesome measure that has
chafacterized1 the liberal domestic policy
of the Republican party. The Democracy
has been; compelled to acknowledge
that it has been constantly and persist
emily in the wrong, and the attempt TO
indict its political opponents would re-
suit in convicting itself Of malice, dis
loyalty, and such stupid blundering as
belong in the category of crimes.-CAi-

down through the park, and as she
neared the boathouse, she saw q tall
well-nown figure keeping out of the
way of observation. Her heart beat SO
violently that she could scarcely go on,
and then the lover threw caution to the
winds, and in another few seconds all
that was needful was told, and the old,
old story went on as smoothly as If no
old Lord Blackmoor existed.
Late that night, after Mrs Hope and
the servants had gone to bed, Lillian
sought her father in the library. ''a

he cried, nervously, as the fair form of
his daughter, robed in Q light blue
dressing gown, suddenly appeared, and
sat down on his footstool. i1a
"Papa, Jack isn't dead" whispered
Lillian, fixing her lovely eyes on Mr..
Hopes wondering countenance, and
fondling his hand.

quired the old gentleman, who had been
aware of the fact for some time.

"Then don't tell me, my dear; don't
tell mep exclaimed Mr. Hope, a beam
of delight on his countenance. "I know
nothing about it, mind: if did, your
mother would worm it out of me-" For
there are still "Caudle Lectures" good

"Then, dear, dear papa-you won't be

"Neuer, my love; never as long as ]

the father, kissing the pretty up-turned
face, and adding in whisper, talbot is
the soul of honor, and can trust him"
In the grey morning it was Miss Hopes
habit to take walk. She took one next
morning. and muffied figure emerged
from the iron room to meet her. And by
the first up train these two reached
London, and by the time Lord Black

Her thoughts, no doubt, are upward wingtng,
While mine sink, clogged with doubt and fear.

How deft her fingers are-how busyi

But, stayl such thoughts, they make me dizzy,
And have no place within this dome.

Evolution in Hair.Pins.

The hair-pin of to-day is more like its
ancestor than is the enlightened man of
science like the primeval monkey. Hair
pins have "evoluted" out of the old
fashioned straight wire into various
shades, sizes and designs. Most of them
are enameled. They are of varying
length, from the gossamer forks with cor
rugated limbs, used to hold in place pufs
and curls, to the long pins required to
keep on the big hats whose broad brims
present great temptations to the wind.
They are made by machinery, and are so
cheap that the poorest woman may enjoy
the greatest variety. What becomes of
the hair-pins? They drop on floors; they
get swept up and lost; they become bent
and useless; they disappear and are re.
placed, and great factories are employed
in making them.-M Y. Sun.
