A CITIZEN ABROAD.

After a pilgrimage of two weeks
to the "City Of Holy Faith" and
home OF the ring" which is not
holy, Col. Jewett returned OH Mon
day, and beng short OF interesting
matter to preSeut our readers, we
button-holed the Colonel and piled
him with questions, extracting the
following:
"You may say that l had every
reason to be satisfied with my trip
to Santa Fe, except so far as the
weather may be concerned. One
who travels over the stage line
once month, will probably find
on settlement of his final accounts,
that due credit has been given him
for privatlons endured. Our
friends at the ancient Capital are
much subdued. Republicans Of
course, anticipate general sweep.
Democrats are blue over Cleve-
lands, reported Conservative and
Civil Service notions, moreover
there are so many Of them, and
the offices are so few. Farther
more, Democrats in the East, who
have acted the part Of Saviors are
very many. Is it not possible,
Notwithstanding the pledges of the
platform, that Webb and Stone

PRESIDENTIAL Inauguration balls
are always great events at Wash

will be no exception. 1t would be
manifestly appropriate for Clevs-
land to lead off in the dance with
the widow Lockwood, he being
tsnd Of widows. Then the widow
Butler might join hands and feet
with St. John. At the breakup,
r. R. r. Burchard might stand at

TEA PARTY.


the 111th anniversary of the de-
struction of three cargoes of tea in
Boston harbor, by sixty prom
inent citizens of the Hub" dis
guised as Mohawk Indians. This
interesting and rather unusual tea
party, was one Of the prime causes
which precipitated wAr with Great
Britain.
We observe by our exchanges,
that this tea party anniversary is
to be celebrated in many portions
Of the country on next Tuesday
evening. CT course these tea
parties will be given under the au-
spices of the ladies, who will give
old fashioned tea parties, with bills
of fare comprising roast pork, bak-
ed beans, doughnuts, pumpkin
pie and CIDER, and in many places
the ladies will be rugged out in the
old Continental costumes, while
tea ware of Colonial times will
adorn the festive board.
In reference to the destruction of
tea in Boston harbor, and which
led to our Revolutionary war, Ban
croft relates :
"During the latter part Of the
month of November, 1913, three
cargoes OF tea arrived in Boston
harbor, consigned to Richard Clark
e Sons. The citizens notified the
consignecs not to receive the tea,
as the Colonists were determined
that they would not permit taxed
tea TO be landed or used in that
stout old Commonwealth. Capt.
James Hall, of the ship Dart
mouth, nevertheless prepared to
unload his tea. On the morning
of the 10th of December, three
thousand of the people assembled
in town meeting, and continued i'll
session until six o'clock in the
evening Just as the meeting was
adjourned, they were startled by
an Indian war whoop. A number
of men disguised as saveges led
the way to Gritfin's warf, where
lay the ships containing the tea.
though these vessels were under
the guns of the fort, and guarded
by British soldiers, were boarded
by the disguised party, and som(
three hundred and sixty chests o
tea were broken open and poureC
out upon the seething tide. The
Crown Government resented thi
act by taking immediate steps tC
bring the city OF Boston into sub
= lection, and Lexington, Concor,
and Bunker Hill was the dought'
answer rolled back by the BRAY
men of Colonial days"
Around this act OF the father
cluster "reminiscences which bin
y. in fraternal cords, a congress
p of great, wealthy and renowne
states. In its celebration, eac
and every citizen can most CO..
daily unite, and let glad feeling
and fraternai memories, surge an

LIGHT
BY WILLIAM PITT PALMER,

1.-The following poem has been pronounced by
English critics to be the finest production OF its
icrgth in the language:1
From tho quickened womb of the primal gloom,
The sun rolled, black and bare,
Till wove him vest for his Ethiop breast,
Of the threads of nay golden hair;
And when the broad tent Of the armament
Arose on its airy spars,
pencilled the hue of It's matchless blue,
And spanglei it around with stars.
/ painted the flowers of the Eden bowers,
And their leaves of living green,
And mine were the dyes in the sinless eyes
OF Edcn's Virgin queen;
And when the art in the thoughtful heart
Had fastened its portal spell,
In the silvery sphere OF the first-born tear
To the trembling earth fell.
When the waves that burst DER world accurssd
Their work of wrath had sped,
And the Arks own few, tried and true,
Came forth among the dead,
With the wondrous CLEANS OF the bridal beams,
l babe their terrors cease,
As wrote on the roll of the storms dark scroll
NOu 3 CONcLallt VI pcdCc
Like pail at rest, on the scnscless breast,
Nights funeral shadow slept
Where shepherd swains on Bethlcham's plains,
Their lonely visils kept.
When flashed on their sight, the heralds bright,
or Heavens reGeeming plan,
As they chanted the morn, the Savior born
Joy, joy, to the outcast man,
Equal favor / show, to the lofty and low,
On the just and unjust descend;
Fen the blind whose vain spheres, roll in dark
ness and tears,
Feel my smile, the blest smile Of a friend
braced,
As the rose in the garden of kings;
At the chrysalis bier of the morn appear,
And 10 the gay butterhy's wing.
The desolate morn, like the mourner forloln,
Conceals all the pride of her charms,
Till bid the bright hours chase the night from
her flowers,
And lead the young day to her arms; -
And when the gay rover seeks Eve for her lover.
And sinks to her balmy repose,
I wrap the soft rest by the zephyr famed west,
In curtains # amber and rose.
From my sentinel steep by the n. hit -brooded
deep,
I gaze with unslumbcring eyes.
When the cynosure star of the mariner
Is blotted out from the sky:
And guided by me through the merciless sea.
Though sped by the hurricanes wings;
His compassionless, iark, lone, weltering bark,
The haven home safely he brings.
l wakcn the flowers in the dew spangled bowers,
The birds in their cha" bcrs of green,
And mountain and plain glow with beauty again,
As they bash in their matinal sheen.
o. if such the glad worth OF my presence on
Garth,
Though fitfdl and ficcting the while,
What glories must rest OH the home of the blessed
Ever bright with the Deity's smile.

From the Battlefield of Victory to the
Trap-Holes Of Wall Street.

There is not in America another
citizen whose career has been as
notable as that of Ulysses s. Grant.
He was honored by the whole
world as the illustrious compeer of
Napoleon I, for his great military
achievements in our civil rebellion.
As a general, the lustre of his name
remains as brilliant as ever; it has
passed into history, and it will be
handed down to honor for ages to
come. Civic honors were crowded
upon his military fame by his cleo
ton to the presidency for two terms.
His first term as the executive-hea
of the United States would have
added fresh laurels to hi, name had
he then retired from public service;
but, the tide of political favor car
ried him again into the White
House and the second four years of
his Presidency are still remember
ed as creating much criticism in his
own party ranks. And yet when
Gen. Grant was succeeded by Hayes
his name was power in the land.
After his tour around the world In
which the crowned heads of en-
pires and Kingdoms did homage to
his greatness he returned to his
native country and the famous
struggle for q third nomination tor
the Presidency, in which "3O6' del
egates at Chicago led by Roscoe
Conkling proved their faith IN
Grant, is and ever will be the prom
inent episode in political annals
that commands admiration, even
from the then anti-Grant faction.
Having attained the pinnacle OF
honor in public life, the illustrlous
General and ex-Presldent turned his
steps into Wall street.-the Mecca ot
sharks and spectators, expecting
to score brilliant victories III the
financial world. Clustering around
his name were those of Jas. u. Fish,
Ferdinand Ward and others whose
checks were good for millions when
the firm of Grant & Ward first
swung its sign to the gates OF Wall
street, and the business of the con-
cern grew into a magnitude OF I'M
mense proportions. ,,, :,
Not until the late crash in Wal
street was it surmised, even by
Gen. Grant himself, what the char
acter of the operations of the firm
were. The General was at no time
active in the management OF the al
fairs of the bank, trusting the de
tails to his young. partner, ward
