HEROIC VERSE.
HURLEY's RANCH, N. NJ.
June, Z, 1888.

lAAhALA IAaNNhF AZ IVA
June, Z, 1888.
Editor LEADER.
Last night a muse, supposed to
be Madam Calliope, descended
from the Parnassus in the rear of
my ranch and seating herself com
fortably on my counter, dashed off
the following heroic verses, in
payment for aq%ua-fortis consumed.
That she had been indulging in
something stronger than soda
water is evident -
Once upon a midnight dreary, while l
pondered, weak and weary,
Over many any an unpaid bill within the
drawer;
While | added and grew mad did, sudden
ly there came Y tapping,
As Of some one gently rapping, rapping
at my shanty door.
'Tis some hummer, from the post, | NUT
tered, tapping at my bar-room door,
Some dry old hummer, and nothing more.
But, open wide | flung the shutter, when
with many a grunt and mutter
In there stepped q man I'd seen full many
"a time before;
Not the least obeysance made he, not an
instant stopped or stayed he,
But rushed for the bottle on the counter
as of yore,
Rushed for the black decanter Of galore,
Grasped and drank, and nothing more.
Then this hummer still beguiling my sad
fancy into smiling,
BY the quaint and swedish gravity Of the
physiog he wore.
Though | must be shorn and shaven,
thou, said |, had best be LAWN
CHASTITY, grim and ancient raven, wander
er from door to door;
Tell me, Duffy, what thy game 10, on The
nights Plutonian shore2
Quoth old Duffy, Gimme more!"
eyed Duffy, then shrieked, upstarting,
Get thee back into the prairie and come
prowling here no more;
Leave this ranch, or by the hockey, your
red head will surely broke be;
Leave, or be the powers III choke ye-
quit the perch behind my door;
Take thy beak from out my door, take
thy form from off my floor.
Quoth old Duffy, Gimme morel"
But old Duffy, never fitting. still is sit
ting, still is sitting.
On a barrel of Bourbon Whisky, just be-
hind my bar-room door,
And his eyes have all the reeming Of a
whiskey guzzler dreaming,
And the lamplight Ger him streaming,
casts his shadow on the floor,
And methinks | hear from u that
shadow, Gimme more!"
JACK HURLEY.

A Minister with half a Shirt.

One sultry Sunday a minister
was laundering away athis drowsy
congregation, the majority ofwhom
wonld go to sleep in spite of all his
efforts. At last he shouted, Wake
up here! There is a man preach
ing to you who has only half a
shirt on his back" Itawoke them
tremendously. The next day a
delegation of ladies visited the par
sonage and presented the preacher
with a package containing a dozen
very nice shirts, saying that it was
a shame that he should be reduced
to half a shirt to his back. He re-
piled. after accepting the shirts
with thanks, that he was not liter
ally reduced to a half shirt, al
though he only wore a half shirt
on his back-he wore the other
half in front of him.-Rome Sen

What il Felt Like.

Il feel to night" said a lady,
who was always at a loss for a
word, at a musical party the other
evening, q feel to night like "a

| am ! Like a"
"a morning STAR" suggested
her husband.

"What nonsense you do talk /!

"Betsy, bugs"
Rubbish !! Dear me, it's ex-
tremely annoying. What is it |
feel like! | know what it Is Just
as well as anything. Those birds
that never sing, except at night
time"
"Cats!"
The latter suggestion of her hus-
band was rejected with scorn, and
she remarked that it was of no con
sequence, she would probably
think of it by-and-by. About 2
o'clock the following morning Har-
ny was dreaming that, while on top
of a beer barrel, it exploded, when
he was blown clear into the middle
of a Sandwich Island barbecue.
Just as the odor of roasted mission
airy greeted his nostrils, he was
awakened by his wife.

correspondent of the New York Commercial
Bulletin refers to the subject and says:
The revival of the silver discussion in the press
Of the country has given rise to much speculation
as TO whether the Forty-eighth Congress like its
predecessors. the Forty-sixth and Forty-seventh.
win assume attitude Of mastery inactivity" in
regard to silver. 1t is but truth to say that among
Treasury officials and Congressman who have been
here recently the prevalent belief is that while the
silver question will probably be agitated In Con-
gress this winter there will be no legislation look
ing to the stoppage of the silver dollar coinage
The chief reason assigned for this belief is the fact
that the issue Is still largely sectional.
The silver movement of 1878, which culmin-
ated in the passage OF the silver bill. was wide
spread and powerful throughout the West and
south-so powerful that many Congressman yield
ed to its demands instead of following the prompt
ings OF their own convictions. The sectional
character of that contest is clearly indicated by
an analysis of the votes in the House and the SEN
ate on the passage OF the bill over the veto OF Pres
dent Hayes.
The bill was passed in the House by vote OF 19e
to seventy-three. OF the Affirmative votes, ninety
two came from the South, eighty-four from the
West and only twenty from the East. OF the mega
tive vote, sixty-ive came from the East and only
four from the West and four from the South.
Politically the vote stood: Yeas, III Democrats
and seveRty-nine Republicans. Nays twenty two
Democrats and ifty-one Republicans.
The bill passed in the Senate by vote of
forty.six 10 nineteen. OF the affirmative votes
twenty-six came from the South, nineteen from
the West and only one from the East of the
negative votes thirteen came from the East, four
from the South and two from the West OF the
Affirmative vote twenty-five were Democratic and
twenty-one were Republican. OF the negative
nine were Democratic and ten Republican.
The new superintendent of Representatives has
materially strengthened the West and the South
in the House, Will be seen by the following
comparison of the number of Representatives
from the three sections in the Fortyfth Congress,
which passed the silver bill. and in the Forty
eighth:
