Hon. j. J. Pugsley on Judgc Foraker.
The Columbus correspondent of tie Uin-
oinnati Commercial Gazette wrote so that
paper the day before the Convention as
follows:
GOOD WORDS FOR ToRAKER-
Representative Pugsley, Of Highland, is
intimately acquainted with Fomker, the
two having been neighbors. While he
thinks that Sherman is the strongest man
the Republicans have in the State, he dep
recates the attempt to put him forward for
Governor against his will.
Mr. Pugsley was asked what kind Of a
man Judge Foraker was "a good, genial,
whole-souled fellow" the Representative
replied. "He is active and bright but has
a wonderfully level head on his young
shoulders can not say thet he is a bril-.
liant orator, but he can mike a sensible
speech, one that will arouse enthusiasm,
and, at the same time, will bear criticism
The Republicans can rest assured that il
they nominate Foraker he will not disgrace
the party by making any foolish utterances
He has a winning way that at once oapti
Yates strangers, and all those who know
him well personally respect and love him
One great advantage that he will have il
nominated is that he is acquainted will
both city and country life. Many Of oui
most prominent politicians can get alonG
first rate in the city, but they are complete
ly lost when in the country. Foraker wa
raised in the country, and knows the way
of country folks. His professional caree
has been in the city, and every one admit
that he is a polished gentleman. Ou
county is solid for him, and he will brinl
out full vote. If Sherman was not U. S
Senator 1 would be in favor of nominating
him, but under the circumstances Forake
is the most available man for the Republi
cans to place at the head of their ticket"

Judge Foraker and the COiOred
Voters.

The Cincinnati Enquirer and News
have been attempting to make some
political capital against Judge For
aker among the colored voters, by
charging that he is not is favor of
the equal civil rights secured to them
by the Constitutional amendments.
The attempt has proved failure
however and will be seen by the foil
owing card from Col. Robert Harlan,
the we'll known colored leader Of that
city:
JUDGE FORAKER AND THE CIVIL
RIGHTS LAW.
Cincinnati, o., June IS, 1883.
To the Editor of the Commercial
Gazette.
In the News Journal and the
Enquirer there recently appeared
reports of purported interviews with
a colored man in the Government
service, in which it was stated that the
colored men would oppose Judge
Foraker because, as it was alleged,
he had opposed the Civil Rights Law.
I am informed that some persons
have stated that 1 was the Colored
man who should have made these
alleged statements. ! want to say
most emphatically that l am not the
man, and moro than that, l don't be-
lieve any coIored Republican ever
said any such thing. If he did l
know they are untrue and grossly
unjust to Judge Foraker. For l
know of my own personal knowledge
that he has always been an earnest
friend and supporter Of my race in
its struggle for its rights.
1 remember we'll to have heard
him make a speech to a mass meet
ing at Lower Market in this city in
1874. when the Civil Rights Bill was
pending, in which he took strong
ground in favor Of it, saying it was
right, and that the Republican party
could not afford TO hesitate about
making it law.
As to the Crawford House civil
rights case. l want to say that l
was at that trial, and that know
that Judge Foraker did not use any
language that any colored man could
take any exception to. He simply
did his duty as a lawyer. Colored
people have intelligence enough to
know that for a lawyer to defend a
client when charged with violation
of the Civil Rights Law does not
mean that he is opposed to the law.
Even General Butler, the father Of
the Civil Rights Law, would not
hesitate to accept employment as a
lawyer to defend a client charged
with its violation, and nobody would
think of criticising him for it.
In conclusion, 1 am earnestly in
favor of Judge Foraker, and I have
yet to find the first colored Repub-
hcan who is not. Robert Harlan.

About Kisses.

Who can explain the magic power
that lies in kiss? More eloquently
than words it expresses love, friendship,
sympathy, admiration, repentance. 1t
/ is token of affection and esteem, and
of scheming duplicity as well. How
could lovers WOO and wed without the
sweet assistance of kiss? From time
immemorial Cupid has depended upon
it as bis most powerful ally. Who can
not recall the kiss of a mother, that
seems almost like benediction, or the
kiss of father, as a mark of approba-
ton or encouragement? The kiss of
brother or sister, expressing more I'M
selfish love than could be contained in
volumes of words? The kiss of the little
one, full of trust and confidence? What
mother has not been called upon to kiss
away the pain from bruised heads and
burned fngers? What part these
demonstrations of love, affection! or
friendship play in every ones every day
life. Kisses are recorded in history for
which crowns have been given or a
world thrown away. Ever since its
murmur was first heard in the gar
dens of soft-tiowing Cedron has it played
an important part in the destiny
of nations. Queens have ever looked
kindly, upon the practice, Good
Queen Bess was not averses to
the osculatory salutation, and bestowed
it right heartily upon her favored
suitors. A remarkable kiss is recorded
as given by Queen Margaret to sAlain
Charter more than four hundred years
ago. He was poet, but the ugliest
man in the whole of France. During
his lifetime he enjoyed a wonderful
reputation, but after his death he was
soon forgotten. He is now chiefly re-
membered on account of the kiss which ]
the Queen pressed upon his dreaming
lips one day, as she found him sleeping,
sayingt to her maid as she did so: II kiss
not the man; l Kiss the souIehat sings. 'f.a
Kisses are the sunlight of life, but Of
late physicians are loudly condemning the
practice of promiscuous kissing. "A phyf:j
Stefan, whose reputation is Worldwide
thinks that for an unhealthy person to 4
kiss another is crime, and theh of
much kissing most dsngerous from
sanitary point of view. Not only does
he believe that diphtheria and like dis
eases are frequently communicated by
kissing, but that still more loathsome
diseases are contracted by contact with
the lips of affected persons. So let us
be chary of our kisses, or at least be-
stow them with discretion. Promiscu-
Gus kissing, which is not promoted by
sentiment, means nothing, is in bad
taste, and is of little qualification. Let
such OSCILLATION be abolished Chicago

FOOTSTEPS ON THE STAIRS.

In the quiet hush of evening,
As we watch the dying light
Fading into murky shadows,
Sinking into duSky night
How often from our musings
Or hfe's SORROWS and its cares
DO we turn and mutely listen
For the footsteps on the stairs.
And when midnight's slumber gently
Gains the weary heart to rest,
And the soul in joyful visions
Of our childhood's days is blest;
When the past, with all its music
And its old remembered airs.
wakes us from our dreams, we listen
For the footsteps on the stairs.
When the heart with grief is burdened,
With its daily toll and pain,
And we feel the sun of pleasure
Will not rise for us again;
And the spirit breathes its sorrow
Forth in silent, voiceless prayers,
Then we long to hear the music
VI the footsteps on the stairs.
In the home of the hereafter,
Where their waiting spirits stand,
watching for their loved ones coming
To that purer, better land
Then their angel lore will teach us
To forget all earthly cares:
Only then well cease to listen -
For the footsteps on the stairs.

CHAPTER v.
THE TRAGEDY.

Two weeks went by.
1t was a wet winter night, quite dark
at five o'clock, with the sleety rain
freezing as it fell until the cobble-stone
pavements of the little town held a ver-
liable man-trap in every round and hol-
low; but John Tendyke, returning to his
room after his six o'clock dinner, trod
the slippery way in safety, and looked
about him as he shut out the dark and
cold and damp, with well-satistied eyes.
His room in the bank building was
large, and lighted only by the soft coal
fire burning in the open CRATE. which
sent Pickering shadows into the far cor
ners, about the tall bookcases and the
screened alcove where his bed stood.
But it was not the comfort of his sur
roundings which was putting Mr.. Ten
dyke in good humor with himself.
There's hardly doubt but she'll
give in,'' he was thinking, as he walked
softly back and forth in the red CLEANS
of the fire, on the alert for some expect
ed sound. IF she don't, I'll make
enough to console me for her loss. l
don't think have left loophole open
to betray me if l am driven to that
course and his mind was cast forward
over his projected plans, until the slight
click for which he had watched appraised
him that some one had entered the outer
room of the bank.
