THE Buffalo Courier says: "As
a citizen and voter Mr.. Cleveland
has uniformly and consistently act.
ed with the Democratic party, AS
n public officer he has been faithful
to the principles and best traditions
of the Democracy. He has strength
ened the party and won its respect
and confidence, not by attempts to
crafty the ambition and greed of
individuals, but by a conscientious
performance OF his duties. AS rep
resented by him the cause OF the
Democracy has always been the
cause of good government. This
fact was recognized by the great
National Council of the Democratic
party. He was nominsted, not aS
a compromise candidate, but as one
who took the lead from the first.
That his nomination has secured to
the party the cooperation OF thous-
andS who were never Democrats is
surely no objection to the nominee.
Every sensible Democrat must be
glad that the merits OF our Presiden-
tial candidate have transformed old
political opponents into friends and
allies. Every true Democrat must
feel assured that if Cleveland is
elected the political principles to
which Jefferson. Jackson and Til
den adhered will again prevail in
the administration of the Govern
ment. He will find this assurance
in the public career Of our candidate
and his own declaration 81 have
have kept the faith because ] be-
lieve, If rightfully and fairly admin
istered and applied, Democratic
doctrines and measures will insure
the happiness, contentment and
prosperity of the people. 4G

Georgia railroads hadn't a depot or

TO the party which concludes SIS
follows: "If there are Stalwarts
who are willing to blind their eyes
to his (Blaine's) moral defects, and
who think that regular nominations
are not binding on any but them
selves, they may vote for him but
all who despise falsehood, corrup-
tion, and party treason will rejoice
in the opportunity now afforded
them to put an end for all time to
come to the political aspirations OF
James g. Blaine. Some will con.
tribate to this result by their action

there will be enough OF both classes

A Distinguished Parsonage.

IU'O'V Dtolu'Ns
The other day there was funeral in
Paris at which there were half dozen
mourners. A woman was buried who
had long outlived her times, her fortune,
and her friends Nine. do Courvoisin,
Princesse de Salm, who was taken to
Pere Ia Chaise, had lived for o. years,
and her career was remarkable and
full of romance. Her mother was that
famous Nine. dc Courvoisin, who was tho
faithful lady Of honor Of poor Marie An
toinette. Her daughter, less faithful to
the Bourbons. was one of the brightest
ornaments of the court which surrounded
Napoleon 1. when fortune smiled fairest
upon his imperial career. The Corsican
ruler fell madly in love with the beauty,
and all his power was bent upon making
her conquest, but it failed. With rare
tact and with wit that stood her in good
stead, she managed to rebuff the emperor
and to turn his thoughts upon another
who was kindlier natured, and through
all the changes of the century, from
Bonaparte to Bourbon, from Bourbon
to republic, from republic to Bona
parte again, and from Bonaparte to re-
PUBLIC she held ID her own; Her fortune
voted herself to spending it in charity,
and when she died there was not enough
left to bury her, and the descendants of
her old admirers and friends saw that she
was decently buried, and some of those to
whom she had been benefactress followed
her to the grave. History has made so
many pages since the girlhood of this lady
that it seems almost impossible to realize
that new-made grave contains form
which the Little Corporal" admired in its
heighday Of beauty and grace.

OCTOBER.

When the darkness drew away, at the dawn
ing Of the day,
/ heard the modrakes screaming loud and
shrill across the bay,
And wondered to behold all the sky in ruddy
gold
Flashing into fire and fame, while the clouds
like pillows rolled.
Rcd the sea ran east and west, burning broke
each tumbling crest,
While the waves like shattered rubies leaped
and fell and could not rest.
Every rock was carmine flushed, every sail like
roses blushcd,
Flying swim before the wind from the south
that rOarcd and rushed.
IFS It Judgment day?' l said, looking out DER
pillows red,
Gazing UP ut crimson vapors, crowding, Drift
ing overhead
Listening to the great uproar of the waters on
the shore,
To the wild, sad crying sea birds, buiieted and
beaten sore,
sis the end of time at hand2 Is this pageant
strange and grand,
A portent OF destruction playing fierce DER sea
and land?'
Then the scarlet cbbed and slow, sky above
and earth below,
Drowned in melancholy purple, seemed with
grief to overflow.
And while thus sascd the day, growing
stronger, turned to gray
All the transitory splendor, and the beauty
passed away,
And recognized the sign OF the color poured
like wine
Of Ia Ia n
the vine.
1t was the ripencss of The year. Soon know
must disappear
All the warmth and light and happiness that
made the time so dear.
And again our souls must wait while the bare
earth dcsolate
Bears in patience and in silence all the winters
wrath aud hate.

The history of some Of our most valu.
able mining discoveries is plain and I'M
vanished enough. 1t is with richness as
with greatness. Some are born to great
ness, some acquire greatness, some have
greatness thrust upon them, while others
never have it from any cause. A man,
living on wood ranch in the Santa Ritas
for three years last Sunday was sitting
down with five companions on the hard
ground discoursing on the respective
qualifications of the presidential candi-
dates, or perhaps the probabilities of the
boom" ever finding them out in tho
wilderness. One Of the party carelessly
picked up piece of rock, saying, ~
wonder what this is, anyway" and threw
1t on the ground. The rock broke to
pieces and was found to be rich in horn
silver, $4,000 to tho ton. The ledge was
prospected for and found aud the find
located. The ore will be shipped to Pueblo,

The Decline in Coffee.

To-day was one of the most exciting ever seen
in the coffee trade. The 152, 900 bags bulletined
as sold did not represent the real magnitude of
the business, since it is not at all improbable that
the sales were much nearer 200,0 900 bags. The
market was panicky and irregular. Beginning
with drop of from 2O@3O points at the first call,
due to some depression in Havre, the downward
movement was given a fresh impetus when two
failures in the trade were announced. The de-
cline then became panic, and a scene of wild
excitement ensued. March soon fell to $50, a
drop of IS points as compared with the closing
figures last night, and other options suffered
quite severely. Later, when it was seen the
shorts were covering freely, there was a recov
cry, but the closing figures were nevertheless
considerably below those of last evening. L. S..
Risley sent a notice to the exchange of his ina
bility to meet his engagements. He said they
were small, but could give no exact information.
Wolff 81 Seligsburg also announced their inability
to fulfill their contracts. They are said to have
been carrying from 5000 to 100000 bags for
firms in Rio de Janeiro, who had not responded
to call for more margin. This was possibly ow-
ing to the fact that the cable was not working
well. Meanwhile they decided not to put mar
gin up on their risk Its said $780, 900 will cover
their liabilities. The rumors of this panicky
day placed their liabilities among the millions.
Among the firms involved were the agents, Kern,
Haint 81 Co., of Rio de Janeiro, who were the
recognized leaders eff the great bull movement in
coffee inaugurated a year ago. This year the
Costa RIGA coffee crop will reach 100000 bags.
