Cromwell and the Boy.

There is no doubt but that Oliver
Cromwell, the Protector, resided for a
time in Glasgow, about 1868. He had
his dwelling in ''Silvercraigs street" !"
on the east side of the Saltmarket, OPP
posite the Bridgegate. A number of
strange stories fingered in the last CEN
tury and the beginning of the present,
as to the sayings and doings of Oliver.
1t was said that he was in frequent
communication with one of the city
clergymen, and had many tough ar
gument as to the respective advantages
and merits of Presbyterianism con-
trasted with independency, or, as they
were at the time called, Separate Secta-
ries. The clergyman who had the for
titude to meet the Protector in dispute
was said to be Mr.. Patrick Gillespie,
then minister of the Outer High Kirk.
The Protector maintained that under
the system then prevailing in Scotland
the lower classes were left ignorant of
Scripture truth. To test the accuracy
of this, one day the Protector and his
ministerial friend took their position in
the Old Saracen Inn, at the east of the
Gallowgate. 1t was agreed that one of
the many lads who drove little carts
laden with Goals for the supply of the
citizens from the coal-tields of Monk
lands should be called in unprepared,
and that the Protector should put any
question to the carter lad from the
Scriptures. The lad was brought in,
and the question put was: "Tell me
who was the father of Adam?' Prompt
ly the carter referred to the third chap
ter of L,lke's Gospel, and, beginning at
the twenty-third verse, he proceeded:
''From the son of Joseph, which was
the son of Heli,' up each successive
link until he reached the climax at the
thirty eighth verse, (which was the so-
of Enos, which was the son of Seth,
which was the son of Adam, which was
the Son of Cod" Oliver was struck al
the accurate memory of the lad, and
rewarding him with golden piece
was begged to become in his turn the
interrogation, and asked: "Since l have
thus answered your questions, would
you be pleased to answer mine 1t is
one not so ancient; it is only. tell me
who was my father?' The Protector
was somewhat overcome with ire.
which was still intensified when on in
quiry at mine host at the Saracen's &
Head he was informed that the carter
was foundling from the Monklands.
and that his parentage was hid under a
veil of impenetrable obscurity.-Glas-

Our Party Prospects.

The Democratic party was never bet
ter, its foes never worse armed for con-
f1ict. The only advantage its enemies
have consists in their tenure of plunder
and power; the first has corrupted the
morals, the latter the forms and facts
of free government. Twenty-three
years of absolutism has begotten po-
litical debauchery and the Republic be-
comes despotism. A gilded class of
plutocrats shapes legislation, sways the
Senate, corrupts the House, pollutes the
bench. A richly pensioned nobility
dances about the White House, while
only subsistence is doled out to the
true heroes of battles. The public do
main, won by tolls and sacrifices of
common soldiers in Mexico and by the
statecraft of Jefferson, is taken from
the people and transferred to half a
hundred Huntingtons and billions, while
revenue and banking systems. fastened
upon popular industry, breed myriads
of tramps and beggars on the one hand
and a gorgeous aristocracy on the other.
Splendor and opulence crown the gov
erning class; rags and penury the toll
ers in mills and mines and fields. . In
twenty years of absolutism pseudo Re-
'publicanism has instituted in free
America every vice of society and
Government that distinguishes hoariest
despotism of the old world. Even
Africans, given the ballot that
the supremacy of the party in power
might be continued and perpetual, con-
fess the vices of their self-styled bene-
factors and white men, as never before,
are aroused to a sense of danger i'm
pending over their liberties and their
rights as industrial and political factors
The pendulum of popular impulse and
passion, thrust violently toward central
ization and Imperialism by secessionism,
now moves backward toward federal
ism, as distinguished from consolida-
ton on the one hand and disintegra-
ton on the other, and in the surely
coming triumph of the Democracy the
original union of free States, as insti-
tuted by our fathers, will be repro
duced. At that point the pendulum of
which we are telling, will stand still,
until, we would fain hope, time shall
be no more It was peoples Govern
ment; it must again be peoples Gov
ernment. To restore it to them is the
mission of our party. To govern them
selves is their right If at any time they
govern themselves unwisely it is their
misfortune. Their present task-masters
must and will be uncrowned.
With what degree of earnestness the
people contemplate these facts and ne
cessities, and how thoroughly the spirit
and purposes of our fathers, who, in
fighting for colonial independence,
fought for perfect local and individual
freedom, is reproduced, is illustrated in
the eagerness with which the reproduc-
ton in these pages of Jeffersonian phi
losophy is accepted by the press of the
country. Register.

CHAPTER ".
TEMPORIZING.

There was no time for words.
While they faced each other, she with
the white horror of this discovery fresh
upon her, the door opened again and
Rodney came in.
"Mignon-your' he exclaimed, in
utter astonishment. ''WhY, my dear,
what is it? Are you sick? Tendyke,
what has disturbed my wife?'
In the quick, suspicious glance he
shot at his partner, you might read the
mans heart. Jealousy lurked there,
ready to spring forth at the slightest
warning.
''Mrs. France has been surprised
not very pleasantly surprised, I fear-at
meeting an old friend in me" responded
Tendyke, quietly. Il don't flatter my
self that that fact overcame her,
though. Can you stay in for twenty
minutes, France? I have an appoint
ment with Hardwicke. Mrs. France, L
hope for the pleasure of seeing you
again. and Mr.. Tendyke sent a sig
niticant glance straight into her eyes
before be departed.
Left alone, an awkward silence fell
for moment between the young pair.
Rodney broke it.
'Well, Mignon, what have you to
say?" His cold tone hurt her. ''Why
did you not tell me before that you
knew Tendyke?''
II did not know it. I had not seen
him, you remember"
You were not likely to forget his
very name, however, and we have men,
toned that between us hundred times.
What was he to you? How much does
he know of your past? If I thought
that was to haunt us forever l could
wish-n
THAT you had not generously res
cued me from it. Oh, Rodney; Heaven
knows, | wish that myself
The desperate earnestness OF her cry
struck him like a sharp blow. Pale
with emotion, but making an effort to
control himself, he put out his hand.
Come he said, 'this is no place
for matrimonial pickering. Come,
Mignon; l must send you home.'
A wild fear of what would happen if
she went and left him there passed over
Mignon, but why not let it come then
as well as afterward? Let Varick do
his worst. She knew her husband bet
ter than he knew himself; knew that
when the time came he would forgive
her to the uttermost; but she shrank
from giving him pain, quailed at thought
of meeting him after Varick's story
should be told.
She was far from prepared when his
step sounded in the hall, and he burst
impetuously into the room.

"Mr France in? I'll see," said Tie
Clerk, not knowing that this was Mr..
Frances wife. ''He will be very soon,
madame," holding open the door of the
private office, s. but here is MIR. Ten
dyke who can attend to your business
at once"
Mignon went smilingly forward to
explain. The attentive clerk shut the
door behind her. and in the DINNER
light of the inner office familiar form
arose, hated voice struck upon her
ears.
"My dear Mrs. France, this is a long
deferred pleasure. Allow me to intro
duce myself-Tendyke, your husbands
partner
She grasped at the back of chair
which stood near for support; for this
was Varick, her arch-enemy, and she
knew in that moment as well she would
ever know afterward that he had plotted
her husbands ruin.

Times Changes.

If the colored man reads the Repub-
lican newspapers carefully he must be
amazed and bewildered to find how far
he has declined in value as an available
political element since 1876. A great
National Convention of the colored race
has been called to meet in Washington
next September, to consider the hard
ships and unjust conditions under which
it still labors. Ten years ago such a
call would have provoked echoing re-
verberations from one side of the coun-
try to the other, and all the Republican
papers would have joined in the chorus
of sympathy and encouragement ex-
tended to the aggrieved negroes. Even
as late as 1876, when, the day after
election, news was brought to the Re-
publican candidate that he was beaten,
his first thought was for the ''poor col
ored people Of the South who would
be placed at the mercy of the "rebel'
whites-the very position in which he
himself actually placed them a few
months later. But those times are gone
by. The Bloody Shirt era is over. The
Republican party has, to borrow a word
from the school-boy's vocabulary, got a
''bellyfur' of the negro, and does not
want any more of him.
The call for National Colored Con-
vention provokes from the Republican
press no other notice than one of criti-
cism. 1t is a race movement SAYS one
ia campaign of black Knownothing-
ISM which deserves the severest CEN
sure. The black man is not tied down
to one place; if he is not satisfied with
his condition in one State, let him imi-
tate the example of the farmers of nli-
nois and Ohio who are moving by thou
sands to Dakota in search of better
homes. Let the black man migrate as
the white man does. "The negro must
appeal to his own thrift and enterprise
and not to the law for industrial relief"
In addition to this the negro is told that
''the country will look with distrust and
disapproval on the Inauguration of
race movement" and that public opn-
ion is too well aware of the damage that
would be wrought by any appeals to
race feeling in the South to look with
favor upon this ill-considered demon
stration.''
How times have changed since the
Grant regime. when all the machinery
of the Republican party was employed
to work up negro movements and to
lnstlgate the very race demonstrations
here condemned! The Republican party
has grown weary of the negro. 1t has
wrung out of him the last particle of
political material he can be made to
yield and now filings him aside to take
care of himself.
The colored man is now learning the
bitter lesson he ought to have learned
long ago-that he must work out his
own fortune as an American citizen,
unassisted and unsupported, or go to
the ground. His fate is in his own hand.
If he can not stand alone he must fall.
The special legislation in his behalf is
ended. He need not expect anything
further from the Republican party, nor
Congress, nor the President, nor the
army. He must look to himself. ST..
Louis Republican.

CHAPTER III.
RODSEYS PARTNER.

RODNEY PARTNER.
s.What can he do?''
1t was the question which Mignon
had asked herself over and again since
Farick' visit to the cottage. She knew
him of old as n relentless enemy-a
subtle, unprincipled, malignant man,
who could veil his deepest hatred under
false smile, and strike his bitterest
blow when when he had lulled his vic
tim into fancied security. How foolish
of her to fancy that if if she once broke
his chain he would let her 90.
He would not marry me when he
could" she thought, angrily. "Why
should he care?''
All, she knew why well enough. As
La June she had been worth more
money to him than his wife could
have been. He had made her feel that
when the scales fell from her eyes and
she had futilely resisted him. Her
father had been on his side, too. AL
ways 4 gambler, Tredegar Almont had
never reaped the rich results of his pro-
fessiOn until he became associated with
Narick; and he was not apt to give
these up for the foolish fancies of his
daughter.
Not sing there?'' he would say, when
she tried to appeal to him. ''Non-
sense, my dear. You are as secure
from all insult as you would be in the
Governors parlor, with your father and
your future husband both at hand to
protect you. It's only a choice between
going there and having Varick and his
friends here to entertain"
What wonder that she thought men
hard aud merciless? What wonder
that, when Rodney France came, with
out questioning, and proposed an elope-
ment two weeks from the day when he
met her first, she should fly to the ills
which she knew not of from such as sur
rounded her?
And now the brief peace she had
known was broken. The serpent had
reared its ugly head amid her roses;
it could be Paradise to her no more.
Rodney was away much of the time,
now. He was anxious to launch him
self on the sea of business life as speed
lily as possible.

our rising young banker. That will be
all-sufficient for her."
Mrs. France had grown really radiant
over her small triumph. Looking at
her, a sharp pang pierced her husband S
heart. Could it be that she delighted
in this sort of thing? Would she ever
be quite as much his own if she had
even this small world to please2 She
grew a little pale as she comprehended
the struggle which was going on in his
mind.
'tIt was for your sake / tried to please
Them" she said. elf it gives you one
moments uneasiness to see me in COM
pany with these men, we will not have
them here again"
."sOh, Mignon; fairly hate myself for
being such dogin the manger, but"
But he did not disclaim her sacrifice.
How could he help remembering that
her bright glances and sweet tones had
been used to befool men once, and fear
with a desperate, quaking fear-that
the wish to conquer might wake in her
again. 1t was not that he doubted her;
only that in his selfish, idolatrous love,
he would have her his, without a
thought or look for any other in the
world.
Mignon was willing enough to humor
him. In this retirement she found
peace and safety. Not even John Ten
dyke came to disturb their quiet life.
She had almost forgotten him when,
one day, months later. after fore
moons shopping, she found herself in
the vicinity of the bank, and yielded to
an impulse to run in for moment and
see her husband.
