IN SANCTUARY.

IN SANCTUARY.
While pale with rage the wild surf spring
Athwart the harbor bar,
The safe ships fold their snowy wings
Beneath the evening star.
In this calm haven rocked to sleep
All night they swing and sway,
Till mantles DER the morning deep
The golden blush Of day.
Here, safe from oil the storms Of fate,
From worldly rage and scorn,
Thus let me fold my hands and wait
The coming Of the mora;
When all night DER moonlit turf,
/ Tho wind brings in from far
The moaning of the baflled surf
Athwart the harbor bar,

The TaiE0r'S Stitches.

The President Of a Boston bank once
redeemed counterfeit tifiy-dollar bill
on his own bank. not doubling for Il
moment that the signature upon it was
his own. Mr.. Josiah Quincy mentions
in his ''Figures of the Past" that the
incident was told at Daniel Webster 5
dinner-table and led to a discussion Of
the value of expert testimony. Several
of the guests asserted that it could Dc t
be depended upon. but Mr. Webster de-
Tended it. He said that he had found it
valuable, and that experts were liFe
children who saw more than they could
explain to others.
"And this reminds me,' he added,
"of my story of the tailor. A case Of
life or death was being tried, and the
tailor's testimony was very important.
"He had been called to prove that he
had made a certain coat for the crimi-
nal, and he SwOre to the fact stOutly.
Upon cross-eXaminatiOn he was asked
how he knew that the coat was his
work.
"'Why, know it by my stitches, of
course
- Are your stitches longer than those
of other tailors?'
oh no.'

"'Not q bit shorter
"t Anything peculiar about them?'
Well, don't believe there is.
Then how do you dare to come
here and swear that they are yours?'
This seemed to be a poser. but tho
witness met it triumphantly. Castinga q
look of contempt upon his examiner, the
tailor raised both hands to heaven and
exclaimed:
- Mercy on us. as if L didn't know
my own stitches!'
The Jury believed him, and they
were right in doing so,' continued Nj
Webster The fact is,' he added,
..we continually build our Judgment
upon details too fine for distinct cogni-
Zancc.
And these nice shades Of sensibility
are trustworthy, although we can give
10 good account of them. We can
swear to our stitches, Notwithstanding
they seem to be neither longer nor
shorter than those of other people. -

stricken when Dorsey was invited to as
sumo the whole responsibility and al
most absolute powers in the conduct OF
that remarkable campaign. 1t is fact
that after the Fifth Avenue conference
there was sudden revival of confidence
on the part of leading Republicans with
out any apparent reason for it, and that
Immediately after, with as little appar-
ent reason. there was sudden change
in the political complexion of Indiana.
1t is a fact that Garfield wrote to his
"dear Hubbell " that he hoped Brady
was doing well in the departments, and
looked to his unusual resources Tor
assistance in his embarrassment. 1t IS
fact that a dinner was given to Dor
sey in New York, after the election, to
acknowledge his skill is dispenser OF
"soap,n to admit that he saved Indiana
with money, and leading Republicans,
Garfield among the number, were either
present OF sent their profound acknowl-
edgments of the worth and value OF
MIR. Dorsey in the campaign. When
we refresh our minds with all these
facts we hardly need the testimony of
Dorsey OR any one else to fill out the
story. Instead of there being any inn
probability about the latter's state
ment, it fits the established truth like it's
complement 1t is The missing half of
a torn leaf. The Jay Gould and STAN
ley Matthews incident is not dependent
upon Dorsey for substantiation. Why
has not the Tribune something to say
about that part of it? Its editor Knows
considerable about it, or is said to. at
least. We believe now as we believed
at the time that the Republican cam
paign of 1880 was one of the blacklist,
most corrupt and most desperate con-
spiracies of the century. If new light
can be thrown upon the details history
demands the revelation, and the testi-
mony of the man who has turned peo-
pies evidence becomes valuable, like
all evidence of that kind, only as it
harmonizes with and strengthens facts
already known.-Boston Post.

Her grandson had tried her sorely

months ago. 1t had begun by his de-

her house, and taking rooms at the st.

That any benefit could be derived
from such change, Madame Earring

rumocs came to her in roundabout
way that Launt was neglecting his busi-
ness. that he was keeping late hours,
that he was falling in with class Of as
sociates whose influence, to say the
least, could not be for good. She had
tried to ignore these stories; she wanted
to believe no evil of him; but the time
came when she could ignore them no
longer. She had come on this morning
to demonstrate with him, had been
shown to his room from which he was
absent at the moment, and found that
note which seemed to her corrobOra-
tion of all she had lately heard.
The door opened and he entered;
Madame Harrington faced him like an
accusing spirit, the offending missive
held up to sight.

miserable man upon earth. Or if you
do, it will not be because Mignon Al
mont did you such deadly wrong that
it builds up an impossible barrier be-
tween you and her daughter.'
Launt started irrepressibly. A dark
flush, an indignant CLEAN, shot athwart
his face.

The Dorsey Exposures.

The reception of the late expose of
the secrets of the Republican campaign
of 1880 is just about what we supposed
it would be on the part of the Repub-
lican journals. They are violently an
Cry and declare the whole thing tissue
of falschoods, fabricated by Dorsey's s
well-known ingenuity in spirit of re-
venge and desperate malice. That is
one wing of their defense, or rather
apology for defense. The other is an
assumption of grief and Indignation that
any such charge or charges should now
be brought, when the man against whom
they are mainly directed is no longer
alive to defend himself. We are sorry
that they are so shocked by the bad
taste of those who give these charges to
the public, and if only the individual
was concerned we should join them in
their desire to throw the mantle of
charitable silence over the memory of
the dead. But that is not the point.
History never admits a mol pros. What

that party and with the knowledge and
consent. if not approval, of many of the
loaulhg men IN 1t. we Will admit That
so far as Dorsey's statements stand
alone, they must be accepted with the
greatest caution, il not suspicion. But,
on the other hand, it will not do to say
that they are falsehoods simply because
OF general impression that Dorsey is
entirely capable of falsehood. If it is
f:&lsehood, it is remarkably ingenious
snd workmanlike. What Dorsey has
said merely supplies the connection to
certain detached facts with which the
public is acquainted independently of
the recent Secretary of the Republican
Committee. 1t is fact that Dorsey
knew more about the whole arrange
ment of WAYS and means in the cam
paign OF 1880 than any other man. 1t
is a fact that Garfield and his friends
were very much demoralized and panic

English Railway Promotion.

A man began as porter; by and by
he was made one of the railway police;
if he behaved well he might get to
some other office; he might become an
inspector of luggage trains or cattle
trains; he might become the station
master of a small and then of a larger
station. Similarly he explained to ma
the system of promotion in the engine
driving department of the line. A man
generally begins as n cleaner, then he
becomes a fireman, and afterward
regular engine-driver There is a long
drilling before man becomes fit for
what is called the foot-plate life. In
deed, many of them never become fit
for it; for there are countless oppor-
tunities for committing blunders, and 4
man who commits blunders is never fit
for the work. The driver of a loco
motive ought to understand from
science and experience all about his
locomotive. He should know all about
his engine, just as a driver OF rider
should properly understand the temper
of his horse. He begins with belong
ing to class of enginemen who are
called the ''relievers." In reality, they
have no engine of their own, but they
take charge of the engines from the
drivers who have come from the main
line. His first work is generally on
pilot engine, where he can't do much
harm to any other person than himself.
A man learns TO drive a goods train be-
fore he is intrusted with a passenger
train; but it is generally five Or seven
years before, he gets this promotion.
and then it is on a slow train; he is
then promoted to a fast passenger
train, and then to an express. There
are three things to which q good en-
gine-driver has to look: First, the con-
dition of his fire, which ought to be
burning well before starting: a thor
ough taking stock and examination of
his engine before starting, and then
constant lookout for signals. The
slightest mistake in overlooking the
little red light, or, indeed, in not no.
ticing any incidental signals, may
wreck train and ruin driver.-LoH-
