him.
New York SIN tdem. says Under Mr.
CIeveland's administration the demo

tors and HeSsians they will do as much
as the republican leaders to make
votes for the republican ticket.
The independent republicans have
appointed committee of which Carl
Schurz is chairman, to propose an adj
dress TO the republican voters of the
country, setting forth the reasons for
Opposing Blaine and Logan.
The Irish World says: THAT If the
democracy does not nominate General
Butler, for president, it will support
Blaine, because it wants more vigor-
Gus policy. 1t says the democrats can
not hol1 the Irish vote unless Butler is

New York Truth Gnd.): There is
nothing left them, but to nominate
the old ticket. Many democrats still
believe, and they are right in believ-
ing. Dir Tilden Is the only candidate
who can lead the party TO victory in
November They tenaciously cling to
him as their only hope. Mr.. Tilden's
candidacy may cost him his life, but
his refusal TO be the candidate will be
the end of the democratic party.

CHAPTER III.

For little while no one spoke. The
minds of the three men were occupied
with the same subject, but each of them
was looking at 1t from his own point of
view.
You were my fathers friend, and
you must be mine in this matter, Mr..
Gimp" said Frank, at last. 1T shall
be nothing out Of your pocket to humor
me in this whim."
"But it will be SO unprofessional go
utterly unprofessional," urged the lit
tie lawyer, with look Of comical dis
tress.
al do not ask you for any active as
sistance in the matter; all want is
your passive connivance," urged Frank.
Il hate impostures Of any kind, Mr..
Frobisher."
Not more than do, as rule. But
this one can not harm anybody"
One never can see how things will
end. Besides, Mr.. Drummond's looks
and general appearance are SO different
from yours"
THAT does not matter In the least.
Neither my uncle nor aunt has seen me
since was twelve months old. My
cousin Clunie, any my other cousin
Elma Deene, have never seen me at ell.

Arnold vs.. American Culture.

We dare say il in fact makes very lit
tie difference TO most people what our
English cousins think Of us and our cult
ure, but there is no doubtthat while they
give us full credit for cur material great
ness that they rather underestimate
our finer requirements. Mr.. Matthew Ar
mold is certainly great deal more than
an average exponent Of English intelli-
gence, but even he has betrayed consid-
cradle ignorance Of American culture.
At dinner not long since, in conversa-
ton with the lady next TO him, he hap
pened to mention Wordsworth, adding,
in an apOlogetic way, that he supposed
few Americans knew anything about
that poet The lady, who happened to
be very good specimen Of the vera
Americana, couldn't quite endure that
reflection on her cOuntrymen, and took
strong exception to the statement, in
forming the great man that he was mis-
taken. Tofortiiy her assertion sho said
she didn't believe there was guest at
the table who hadn't copy of Words
worth's poems in his or or her library.
Mr. Arnold, acting on her suggestion,
interrogerated each one on the subject.
To his surprise he learned from the
replies that every one (the party be-
ing either an exceptional one or some
members fearing TO be found deficient)
claimed TO possess the poets works.
We say fearing to be found deficient be-
cause, under such circumstances, II an
American worthy Of the name had any
doubt as to whether he owned the books
he would have given himself the benefit
to aid in the confusion of the Britisher
who should question that any American
assemblagc should not be thoroughly
acquainted with ordsworth's writings.
We say he met with an affirmative an
swer TO his question, and only wish to
use the occurrence TO point the state
ment that our transporting friends do
not give us credit for the cultivation
we really do possess. We would venture
TO make the further claim-and think
we could support it--that take our
people and compare them class for
class with the English, and they will be
found TO have as thorough an acquaint-
ance with what is really best in English
literature as the English themselves.
We do not wish TO talk spread-eagle too
much, but think our cosmopolitan spirit
Is giving the American people q truer
and more general culture than English
men can ever attain unless they aban-
don the insular prejudice which makes
them skeptical Of any cultivation but
their own.--Aodern Age. al rI

COULD NOT BE HIS ANGEL.

] asked my little love one day,
My saucy, 'witching La,
"lf she would be my own through life,
My angel good and truer"
But she tossed her nut-brown rinRletS-
And sad: "She did not care
To be an angel yet awhile,
This world seemed very fair
Oh, Lul my heartless, cruel one,
With mouth like Cupid's bow,
Why will you always laugh at me,
How can you treat me sor
Why will you lift that little nose
In haughtiest disdnin,
Pray tell me that my Dleadings, dear,
Have not been all In vainS
She turned her merry eyes on me,
O'erbrimmed with fun and life:
~ can not be your angel, Fred;
Butt VIII be your wife,"

whereas if exchanged directly for standard dollars
the silver advocates seem to think, the amount of
silver in actual circulation would be increased.
But the provision requiring that the trade dollars
received and exchanged shall be counted as part
of the purchases of silver bullion is the, most
Objectionable to the men who care little whether OF
not the silver coins circulate For that matter,
they would not object to the coming of more trade
dollars. What they want is aGoyernment market
