Hiram's Reflections.

Thank God at last, the eXultant
shout of the victor has died out in the
distance, the sober second thought
has come to the people, and the cleo
ton with its wild frenzied scenes is
over. There is no doubt, but l am
the oftenest and best crowed over
man in this county. Everybody knew l
was present when James G. Blaine
was nominated at Chicago and every
body knew believed Ill him from
the crown of his head to the sole of
his foot. And honestly believe to-
night, Notwithstanding he led for
lorn hope, and his banner trails in
the dust, that he is the grandest and
greatest uninspired man whose foot
prints ever marked the earth. Yea
verify, take the inspiration from him
who could say to the tempest ''be
still, and let the winds follow me like
a dog" and Blaine is the greater.
The town boys crowed until their
leader growing sorry for me cried
"hold enough" and after thought it
was all over here came my friend
Davenport from Crofton like raging,
roaring, remOrseless tornado and
marching into my Office he tossed his
hat high into the air and fairly made
the welkin ring. The very children
upon my street "mewling' in their
mothers arms would raise their ten
der heads and shout as l would pass
to and fro "hurrah for Clevelandw
of course l regret that Mr.. Blaine is
beaten; yet his election would have
brought no chicken pie to me. If l
ever get a slice from this delectable
dish it will come through my strong
right arm and it is still left me and
the young man in my humble opiuion
who stands proudly aloof dep ending
on anything else will be left. After
all, this is our country, aud there is
room enough in 1t for us all politi-
clans, and place-seekers may rant
and rave, and talk of humless spin
dies, motionless shuttles, glowlcs'
furnaces and unoccupied rooms yea
may write Of gloom, despair and bats,
but this country will live and -four
ish and grow green and greener still.
Misfortunes have, and may st.ll come
to individuals, sweeping away at one
full swoop the accumulations ofyears !;
but the great mass of these people
will thrive and be happy. 1t makes

What Il Does.

Almost every lady habitually uses
some kind of hair dressing. 1t is a
toilet necessity. Parker's Hair Bal
sam is the best, because: it gives
gloss and softness arrests falling out !:
does not soil the most delicate fabric !;
is deliciously perfumed; cools the
mead; eradicates dandruH, and pro-
notes luxurient growth.

DAVID B. HILL.
The NEXT GOVERNOR OF New YORK
STATE.

The election of Governor Cleve-
land, of New York, to the Presidency,
makes it necessary for him to resign
his present position some time prev
ious to March next. This will
make David B. Hill, no v Lieutenant
Governor of the Empire State, its
Governor.
lie was born in Chemung county,
New York, in 1913. AT an cary age
he manifested great interest in poll
tics and gave his allegiance TO the
Democratic party. In 1864 he was
admitted to the Bar in Elmira where
he then resided, and of which he has
continued to be an honored citizen.
lie was elected a member of the As
sembly in 1870, and again in 1871. In
his first term he succeeded in passing
through the Assembly bill for the
adjustment of the contract system
in the State prison. 1t was suisse
quently killed i'll the Senate. When
in 1875, Governor Tilden appointed
him member of a commission to pro-
vide uniform charter for the cities
OF the State, he declined on account
Observation-Disclosures work. Elmira
has made him an Alderman and la
ter the Mayor of that flourishing city.
Mr.. Hill is an old bachelor, pecu-
liar in his habits, regular as clock
work, and, it is stated, rather ui-
pleased than otherwise with the pro-
motion awaiting him. lie lives in
the Chemung Canal Bank Building,
Elmira, and dislikes the idea of leav-
ing his snug quarters to make his
abode in the splendid Executive
Mansion in Albany. His parants are
both dead, aud he has no sisters.
That he should be necessitated to
keep house and entertain on grand
scale in his lonesome condition, APP
pears less surprising in the light of
these facts. The ladies are wonder
ing what the poor man will do. Mr..
Hill is good lawyer, and politi-
clan of experience and sagacity. His
chief recreations are music and the
drama.
The next Governor of New York
is man of medium heigth. He wears
tight coat which shows his compact
figure to advantage. His head is a
good example of the ''bald brow of a
bachelor

THE LATE BROOKLYN FIRE.
RumOr that Fourteen LOcked-up Boys We're
Allowed to Perish in the Flames.

New YORK Dec PA story is circulated that
when the fire broke out last Thursday in the St
Johns Home for Boys, fourteen refractory boys
were locked up in small room over the chapel
and that in the confusion they were forgotten
and left to perish in the flames. 1t was added
that so far no effort had been made to search the
ruins of the chapel Mother De Chautet, the
superior of the Home said that the only place
over the chapel where any one could be impris-
oned was large closet which was in the bath
ROOM
This closet" she said, twas not large enough
to admit more than one boy, but if it would
have admitted twenty we would never have
placed more than one there if we wished
to punish him. Putting two boys in a
room robs the punishment of half its Sc
verify. The only boy we found it necessary
to punish on the day of the fire was John Leavy,
an eleyen-year- old boy. who was released by a
sister as soon as the fire broke out He had
plenty of time to make his escape He is here
now, and has no idea that he was in any danger
at all"
do you know positively how many boys are
missing}
NO. we have been so busy that we have not
had an opportunity to look into that matter"
Captain Folk said he was certain there were
no boys locked up over the chapel, although he
thought there we're more bodies in the ruins.
II was in that portion of the structure five
minutes before the roof fell, he said. Il went
into the place to look for Policeman Gibson, and
peered into every corner"

LONDON Dec. 25-The Times, this morn
ing, has letter on the Nicaragua treaty a col
umn and half long, in the course of which it
says:
'Mr. Ceveland's character, indeed his conduct
during the late contest. leads US to hope that he
will adopt a more dignifed and friendly course
We readily admit that the Nicaragua canal
scheme must be judged in the United States
primarily on its merits, without reference to
English suscephbilities or even English inter
ests. At the same time we occupy position of
almost impreguable strength protesting against
a policy which would constitute a DELHI
crate violation of treaty rights. The Clay
ton Bulwer treaty was expressly designed to
cover such case that contemplated in the ar
rangement with Nicaragua. When it is proposed
to abrogate that treaty at the will of one of the
parties it is incumbent on the dissentient nation
to justify thai extreme measure by convincing
argument, and the government of the United
States has not thus accepted the burden of proof
Meantime the obligations, legal and moral, of
the Clay ton Bulwer treaty remain unimpalred. "
Mr. Lahouchere pooh poohs the idea in Truth
that the Clayton Bulwer treaty was to cover any
other than the canal contemplated in President
Fillmores time, then known as the Joe White
Horace Clark Vanderbilt canal.

holding the Clayton Bulwer treaty.

FOREIGN MISCELLANY.
An Effort to induce Madame Hughes to Go
Upon the Stage.

An Effort to induce Madame Hughes to Go
Upon the Stage.
PAri0 Letter.
An American speeulator is extremely anxious
to get Madame Clovis-Hugues to sign an engage
with him to play Lady Macbeth in the United
States and different European cities, when she
is acquitted 1 have no doubt that she would,
in that character, be one of the greatest sue
ceses of the age. She is Siddonsish in air,
aspect and possibly disposition; has lived in an
atmosphere of poetry and fine art, and has
natural bent for "le style noble" With very
little teaching she would make q first-rate
tragedy queen, and probably the finest Lady
Macbeth that ever trod the boards of a theater
since Mrs Siddons retired from the stage. Her
voice accords with her person; 1t is strong.
deep and beautiful. Latterly she was rather
stout for perfect beauty. But it may be expect
ed that seven weeks in a house of detention will
render her more slim. Being a sculptress, she
has an eye for picturesque attitudes. Her arms
are finely shaped, and, though she is not CO.
quettish woman, she thinks it pity to hide
them. She often wears high dresses, with gauze
or lace sleeves which only slightly veil them
As can't waste pity on such a wretch as NORM,
and as l never yet saw a tolerable Lady Mac
beth, l sincerely hope Nine Clovis-Hugues will
be acquitted, and will accept the offer of the
American Spectator.

A Wicked French Servant.

Lucy Hooper's Letter.
For cool iniquity on the part of a young girl
commend me to an attempt at poisoning which
lately took place in French household. The
young wife of its proprietor was the happy
mother of an infant some five months old A
wet-nurse, a girl of nineteen had charge of the
baby One day the little fellow was seized with
an attack of collie The mother prepared smp-
pie potion which her doctor had prescribed for
the child, but on pouring it out she thought that
it had peculiar appearance, and a still stranger
odor She tasted it, and found that it had q
nauseous and abnormal flavor She
sent the phal to chemist to
be analysed, and it was returned
to her with the information that the medicine
had been largely adulterated with phosphorus.
Meantime the young wetnurse had seer fit to
decamp, taking with her all her possessions. The
police was put uponher track, and in due time
she was arrested. At first she was loud in her
indignation against her employers for bringing
a charge of poisoning against her Finally she
decided to make a full confession. She had
found the quiet household in which she was living
very stupid and so resolved to get out of it, She
had grated the tops of box of matches into the
baby's medicine hoping that the child's death
would be attributed to natural causes, and that
she would take with her on leaving certificate
of good character from tho bereaved family
This ingenious Young person has been commit
ted for trial on the charge of an attempt at muir
der.
