We Smell You. Jimmy blaine.

The hunted deer will powder smell
Before the bloOd-hounds bay,
And he who hunts the White House well
Must watch the windward way;
Just now the winds begin to blow
From out the woods of Maine,
And though your form is hiding low,
We smell you, Jimmy Blaine!
We may not always see you, James,
You dive so slylydown
In water murkier than the Thames
That flows by London town.
But though your form is hid from sight,
Nor track nor sound remains,
Still. in the tell-tale breath of night,
We smell you, Jimmy Blaine
When Garfield in the harness preached,
And backward flung his ears,
And Murat howled and Whitelaw screeched
To play upon his fears,
You gravely said you didn't know"
Who pulled the unseen rein
You wondered why he baked, but, oh!
We smelt you, Jimmy Blaine!
We can not always hear you. Jim,
Your prudent lips are dumb,
Where paths are dark and lights are dim,
And jobbers go and come.
You made your millions in day,
But never could explain
The devil only knew the way:
He knows you. Jimmy Blaine.
The perfume peddler Cf the night
May sleep within the swale,
While lingering in the morning light,
His memory haunts the gale;
And when your body finds repose.
Among the pines of Maine,
We wonder if the public nose
VIII smell you, Jimmy Blaine?

AN IMPORTANT MATTER.

A Timely Suggestion that Both Parties Can
Profit BY.
The following editorial from the Fort
Worth Gazette, is timely and to the
point, and the matter therein should be
Thoroughly considered in making nomi-
nations, no matter by which party:
Mr.. Arthur is Republican, but he has
given the country a fairly capable and
respectable administration, which Is
lucky, for every Vice President who has
become President has not done as much.
But while conceding the creditable char
aoter Of Mr.. Arthur's administration,
the lesson of his elevation will hardly be
overlooked by either Of the great politi-
cal parties this year. When selecting
Vice Presidential nominees they will re-
member Guiteau's bullet and proceed
with more oiroumspection and caution
than in the past. Heretofore 1t has been
too much the custom to consider the
Presidential nomination and the plat
form as the only really important work
of National conventions. Men have
been nominated for Vice President who,
under no circumstances, could have re-
ceived the Presidential nomination,
Parties have seemingly overlooked the
fact that in the natural order of things
death enters the White House as well as
other places, and the Vice President OF
to-day may be the President Of to-mor-
row. And apart from the contingencies
incident to natural events, the assassin
alton of two Presidents has come to dis
turb parties and the country. A con-
servafive, well-balanoed, respectable
man like Arthur may not be at hand
every time. 1t Is to be hoped each
party. In making its nominations this
year, will exercise the wisest prudence
and care in selecting Vice-Presidential
candidates. The country cannot afford
| to take any hap-hazard chances, no mat.
ter which party is in power. The Vice
President should bs D man whom the
party electing him can see come into the
Presidency without qualm Of appre-
!. ension as TO his competency AMI

Homeopathy Growing.
Speaking Of the late convention OF
homeopathic physicians at Austin, the
Fort Worth Gazette says; "The de-
ciples Of Hahnemann are growing In
strength and numbers In Texas, as was
illustrated by their State convention or
Medical association held at Austin last
week. They are growing aggressive,
too, rs Is shown by their demand for
representation In the Medical depart
ment of the State university and the
State Institution for the insane. What
effect their plea will have with the au-
thorities Is rather uncertain. The pub
lie, however. which Is usually fair
minded, will be apt to say that the
homGopaths ought TO have living
chance, and be allowed to test the value
Of their claims. 1t is quite certain that
homeopathy has made remarkable pro-
gress in this country within the past
few years and that 1t Is gaining ground
every year. 1t Is accepted and the'fayor
lite school Of medicine with very many
intelligent people, compromising an In
fluential and respectable element of So
ciety. II will hardly do to put these
people down as the dupes Of charlatancy
some interest In the outcome of move
ment which involves the good repute
and value OF a system which commands
and receives their countenance and sup
port"

only natural that officials of all classes
should look with small favor on reforms
which threaten to take away their bread
and butter, and even make their
further stay in the country impossible.
Their disappearance would be no mis-
fortune. They are a thoroughly worth
less class, whose only idea OF govern
ment is to collect taxes for their own
benefit. IL never seems to enter the
heads of these men that the people who
toll have any rights, and they seem to
regard the workers as solely created to
produce taxes on which soldiers and
officials can live in idleness and ease.
Some idea may be formed of the nature
of --Pasha rule from the fact that from
Dongola to Assouan there Is not n single
landing stage, nor yard of road, nor
paved street, and yet the people are
heavily taxed, each household paying to
the Government from e5 to efO per an
mum. This tax is collected by the Bashi-
Bazouks, and it is alleged that these
for their own special benefit nearly
equal In amount. In return for this
heavy taxation the people enjoy the
right to be bullied by every one in the
Government service. In the towns a
crude and inefficient police police Is
maintained. There is no department of
public works, or II such department ex-
lists 1t does nothing. Whatever pre-
tense of government exists is confined to
the banks Of the Nile. Once the river
lost to sight every man becomes his own
government, and defends his person and
property as best he can. Under these
the people are FESTIVE and discontinued,
not seeing much good In any govern
ment.
In the old days Of the slave trade
Dongola was a'flourishing center for that
nefarious traffic, and it is by no means

A Modern Fable.

A donkey fell into deep hole and ,
after nearly starving, caught sight of
a passing Fox, and implored the
stranger to help him out.
~ am too smal' to aid you" said
the Fox. "tut / will give you some
good advice. Only "a few rods away
is hig strong elephant. Call to him
and he will get you out in a jiffy."
After the Fox had gone the Donkey
thus reasoned with himself: II am
very weak for want of nOurishment.
Every move make is just 80 much
additional loss of strength. Ii raise
my voice to call the elephant shall
be weaker yet. M, will not waste
my substance that way. 1t is the
duty Of the elephant to come without
calling"
So the donkey seated himself back
and eventually starved to death.
Long afterwards the Fox on pass.

ing skeleton. and remarked: "If 1t

A Queer Boston Merchant.

A Boston merchant who lived and
died on Summer street. was a curious
instance of one who had been an in
valid from childhood, always ex-
trernely hypochrondriac. who never
imagined himselfill when he was not,
nor exaggerated his actual illness,
nor feared, undu!y, sickness or pain.
or death itself. But it was the bust.
ness Of his life to take care of his
health; and he devoted himself to
this work with wonderful assiduity.
He rode just so far each day. when
the weather was fair, and at such an
hour. He had a great variety Of
clothing, which he regulated with
precision by the thermometer, some.
times changing his dress many times
in a day and selected for his over
clothes, when he rode out, the very
garments which the mercury indi-
Gated.
He had q weathercock put upon his
stable, within fair view from his bel.
room and sitting room and that ana

watching constantly, and found in
these occupations very agreeable
way of employing all his day and all
his days. How far his long life is to

is hard to tell hut he 0utliyed every
brother and sister. every brothers
wife and every sisters husband, and
his own wife. and died in 1897 at the
age of 81.

weather comes on, will summer bet.
ter. and winter better the succeeding
winter.
Sheepmen and cattlemen, and in
fact all farmers, have a common in
terest, Let them pull together in de-
handing legislation, and they will
get what they ask.
Keep few sheep, few hogs and
a few cattle, and it will give you a
better chance for the profitable feed
ing of all the products of the farm
than you can otherwise secure.
The marked difference in the prices
brought by mutton sheep on our mar.
ket should convince any int lligent
shepherd of the folly of feeding any
but first class sheep.
A Middlebury, VT, letter to an ex.
change says that shipments of sheen
have begun to grow large again, and
there appears to be good outlook
for fall and winter trade.
Don't let the sheep rest under the
stacks until they fall over on then
and kill two or three of the mos
valuable ones. 1t is much cheaper
to attend to such matters in time.
A good judge of sheep does no
judge alone from the length of thu
wool, but from its density and even
ness over the body. Be sure tina
there are no bare places. and tina
wool does not run out to a feathe
edge on the sides.
