7 AM DYING.

The following poem we copy from
the columns of the Memphis Bulle
tin. 1t is rarely we find such con
tributions in the columns of a news
paper. 1t is sweetly, beautifully
sad:
Raise my pillow, husband dearest,
Faint and fainter grows my breath;
And these shadows stealing slowly
Must, ! know, be those of death.
Sit down close beside me, darling,
Let me clasp your warm, strong hand
Yours that has ever sustained me
To the borders of the land.
For your God is mine; our Father
Thence shall ever lead me on,
Where upon a throne eternal,
Sits his loved and only Son.
pve had visions and been dreaming
Ger the past of joy aud vain
Year BY year I've wandered backward
Till was a child again.
Dreaming OF girlhood, and the moment
When stooG your wife and BRIDE
How my heart thrilled with joys triumph
In that hour of woman's PRIDE
Dreaming of thee and all earth chords
Firmly twined about my heart
Obi the bitter, burning anguish
When first l knew that we must part
1T mas passed ano 6oQ mas PROMISED
All my foetsteps to attend;
He, that more than friend or brother.
He'll be with you to the end.
There's no shadow on the portal
Leading to my heavenly home,
Christ has promised life immoral,
And tits life that bids me come,
When ife's trials wait around thee
And its chilling billows swell,
Thou'lt thank heaven you've been spared
them
Thou1t then feel that call is WE'LL"
Bring your boys unto my bedside,
Ny last blessing let them keepi--
But they're sleeping, do not wake them;
They'll learn soon enough to weep.
Tell them often of their mother;
Kis= them for me when they wake;
Lead them gently in life's pathway;
Love them donbly for my sake.
Clasp my hand then closer, darling
This, the last night of my life,
For tomorrow l shall never
Answer when you call me "wife."
Fare thee well, my noble husband,
Faint not under the chasteniDR rod;
Throw your strong arm round our children;
Keep them closer to thee--snd God,

A Blaine ctnh Rustaa.

A boy whose face looked as if it had
been under a mustard plaster for a
night accOsted me In the halfway OF
the Herald office last night, and wanted
to know if the man that took political
items was in-"Because," said he, 'a
club was held at our house to night
which mother said ! must bring down
10 the papers, Pap was out last night
till broad day light and came home this
mornin' in what he called the good old
way, through the window instead of the
door and he howled and woke up moth
er and said he was wild aud woolly and
a white elephant and a plume knight
and lot OF other things. He said he
mad jined club that had bin rattifyin'
and that he was lor Blaine and Long
Jones. He got up on the table and sez
to us: The meetin' will now come TO
order, and move, 'sez he, that we lay

in mother who has bin for Tilton all
the while, and purity soon she got a pay
in' block that L had got for kintlln' the
fire and she let drive at pap and it hit
him under the nose. He rolled over
like stuck pig, and mother sez: IIl|

Northern Sentiment.

The New York Herald of Monday
says this about the work done at Chica-
20 last week:
The Herald puts at lthe head of its
columns the democratic ticket for pres
ident and vice president OF the United
States. We congratulate the democrat
ic party upon the work of its con-
ventiOn at Chicago and the Opportuni-
ty it offers to the American people,
through a union of patriotic voters,
by whatever name they call themselves
democrats, independents, labor re-
formers or whatever else-to redeem
the country from the disgrace and peril
TO which the republican party has
plotted to expose it by the thoroughly
bad nomin 4tion of Blaine and Logan
Cleveland's easy nomination on the
second ballot yesterday jusiities all
that we have thought and said of the
sound judgment and good sense of this
convention when put to decisive test
OF choosing between what is vital,
sound and vigorous in the democracy
and what is very much the other way
and the convention is to be copgratula-
ted upon the tact that it has named
the man who will be the next presi-
dent

We assure Judge Reid and others
who think as he does that we have too
much reverence for the memory of the
old whig party to admit for moment
that the republican organization of this
day and generation is the legitimate Off
spring of the former, inheriting its vir-
tues, integrity and patriotism. Judge
Reid's appeals to old line wings are
impressive but will hardly reach the
coveted result. The editor of this pa
per is old enough to remember the
birth, life and death of the old whig
party and numbered among its mem
bership some of the greatest and purest
statesmen the world ever produced.
There were giants in those days. But
Rome has lost her breed of noble bloods,
and pigmies and dwarfs strut and fret
in robes borrowed from the illustrious
past, claiming merit and promotion be-
cause of the deeds and services of those
no longer on earth.-Athens Post.

ONLY a Poor Old Tramp.

A very pitiable looking object
was the man who the police hauled
up to the square last Saturday
morning. He looked half crazy,
half clad, and said his name was
James Connolly. He was put in
Jail as vagrant. When he was
arrested on the street he was bare
headed and the scorching suu was
beaming down upon him hot enough
to set his racked brain to boiling.
He was likewise barefooted sad for
the want of sandals his feet had
been cruelty lacerated and the path
ne trod was stained with his own
blood. Neither had he coat upon
his back nor a shirt, He was also
pantaloonless and unmentionable-
less and if he had on any clothes at
all the policeman couldn't find
them. The poor man he looked

"A difficulty arose between E. B.

killed. IL seemed that the latter chased
the former around some business

officers. Then they both started for
home and the former seized his shot
gum got in ahead of the latter about
one mile from town and shot him down,
leaving his body exposed to the hot
sun sand beasts of the prairie for sc
hours. The fugitive was apprehended
at Marshall and brough, TO Elmo tor

was refused bail. They were highly
connected and first cousins.

Mr., BIaine,s Letter.

1t is long and well written. But
for the charges against him by his
former party associates, which
would seem to call for some expires
sion of defense or palliation,i it would
be called strong letter. 1t evades
all these special matters and dis
cusses generally and glowingly 9TH
er issues, thus attempting to lead
the canvass away into distractions
1t was delayed so that it might be
in some sort an answers or counter
balance to the democratic platform,
and yet it does not phaze in the re-
motest degree a single position of
the democrats. He leads his party
beyond it's platform to take an alb
solute protection attitude. He dis
cusses foreign relations amicably
showing that he has backed down
from his raw-head and bloody bones
policy and will not gobble up the
other nations of the earth. He
pours out a gourd of soft soap upon
the south and his expressions now
are as much as to say, "when 1 used
to abuse the SOUTH and its people
and prospects, l misrepresented and
slandered and falsified." He is go
ing. to have the civil office admins
tered capably and honestly (?).
There is an ominous absence of
vindictiveness and scurri1ous abuse.
He evidently wants that kind of bu-
siness stopped, as it is quite un-
pleasant to him personally. The
letter fails absolutely to sound
single high note on any question or
to lmpart thrill anywhere. The
party finds itself unable to shrek
and applaud.

Our Washington Letter.

The democratic congressional
committee now has its headquar-
ters in good running order, and
news of the detection of independ
ent republicans is coming in so rap
idly that it looks as if the entire
better element were about to desert
the Q. o. p, and leave it's leader to
remain in the pine woods of Maine,
while they helped to inaugurate
Grover Cleveland, the reform mayor
and governor, and place him in the
seat of Washington where he can
reform the national administration.
Advices received from all quar-
ters are most encouraging, giving
promise of breaks all along through
the republican lines, while the dem
ocratic states stand firm and prom
ise increased majorities. The re-
ported detection in Talnmany is
more superficial than real, and sub
serves very good purpose-it en-
courages thousands of republicans
who are dissatisfied with machine
rule and methods to come over to
the support of Cleveland. The in
dependent ranks in Massachusetts,,
New York and Connecticut are fast
being augmented, making it already
clearly evident that those states
will be carried for Cleveland
and reform. There is an earnest
determination on the part of the
national and congressional commit
tees to make the victory this fall
complete and overwhelming, so
that there will be no doubt as to
the intentions Of the American peo-
pie.
The Blaine campaign as mapped
out provides for. much wind and
bluster, but it will be like a sound
ing brass and 9 tinkling cymbal,
and will have no effect upon the
solid business masses ~ho are de-
termined to be rid of the oppressive
war taxes that are paralyzing the
energies of the people, The demo
cratic campaign Will be character
lied by quiet, earnest, determined
work, and unbounded faith in the |
success of the right.
Gen. Butler has been in town for |
several days, and has recently had |
a conference with the president. |
AS a consequence all sorts of ru-
mors have gone out about arrange
ments for political trading in the
ensuing canvass; but as Mr.. Ar
thur is luke8arm on the question of
Mr.. Blaine's election, it is believed
that there is no truth in the rumors.
However, it is but little matter
the reports are true or not,
as nothing that Butler or any of his
Tx can do will prevent Cleveland's
election. Now that Butler is pret-
~ well into good company, and on
5he winning side again, he had bet
ter stay and behave himself, else he
may be forever cast off.
Things are not moving smooth
y with the G. o. p. in Virginia, by
great many rows Of apple trees. The
two republican bosses, Malone and
Dezendorf, hate each other like
fury and with a great deal more in
5ensity than they hate or pretend to
hate the democrats. The republi- (
can national committee propose to

"Gov. Cleveland is one of the
most curious men 1 ever saw" ex-
claimed Judge Advocate to General
H. G. King yesterday. There is
not a member of his staff who is
not ten times as anxious to have
him promoted as he is. l don't be-
lieve he would raise his hand either
to get the nomination or the election.
OF course we went to Chicago and
worked heart and soul for him. /
went first to the celebration at Buff
falo. While there I saw the COVER
nor. What do you think he said
when he learned that / was bound
for Chicago? He told me that 1
had better go back to New York
and quietly attend to my business.
He was so sensitive that he could
not bear to have friends working for
him. / never saw such a man.
while 1 was there we dined together
at Gerst's, which is about four
blocks from his Office. 1t took us
half an hour to get there. never
saw a man stopped so many times
on the street by people who wanted
to shake his hand and say 'how-dye-
do This was before the nomina-
ton, mind you. What must it be
