The German Vote.

Emil Schaddein, of Milwaukee, a
member of the most prominent
brewing firm of that city, who is
now on a visit to the eastern cities,
says in an interview: ''The Germans
of the northwest will vote almost
solidly for Cleveland and Hendricks
as against Blaine and st. John. I
firmly believe we are numerous
enough to carry Wisconsin and
Kansas too, perhaps, while Iowa
and Illinois are made extremely
doubtful by our attitude; and as to
Ohio, look out for the German vote
in northern Ohio in October. The
northern Ohio Germans have for
years been the salvation of the re-
publican party in that state. They
will do nothing to save this year."
Son what do you base your con-
fdenceP' Mr.. Shaddein was asked.
"On a thorough canvass of the
German votes in the states / have
named. The work was begun a
year ago. The extraordinary prom
Inence given the temperance issue
in Ohio, Kansas and other states
last fall alarmed US. An associa-
ton of Germans was formed by men
of energy and Of means. In every
county of Wisconsin, Minnesota,
Michigan, Kansas and Iowa, local
clubs were organized. They were
not democratic or anti-republican,
but in the interest of personal lib
erty. The result is an organization
of extraordinary strength against
the republican ticket. 1t will tell
the story of the campaign of 1884,
unless 1 am badly deceived and 1
know / am not. Let Maine give
Blaine 10000 majority, or $4,000
majority on Monday. The more
the better for the democratic party
and the liberty of the nation. ~

AS matter of fact, the school di
rectors retain their seat er o6fciO
and one of them acts as chairman
of the meeting. Now the teacher
elect gives out the words, as a rulC
beginning with the easiest words
The first mistake against correct
spelling creates universal hilarity,
often bursting into full round OF
applause, especially if the culprit
happens to be a six-footer of eigh-
teen or so. He sits down amid the
laughter of the audience, without
being offended, nay, he grins good
naturedly, knowing that he is only
the first of long list of offenders.
Sure enough, one by one the spell
ers come to grief by words like
phthisic, metempsychsois, ,Llewellyn
and other test words. There! one
of the teachers is felled by the
word ingenuity, he has spelled it
ingonuously, and takes his seat in
gloriously. Sometimes the whole
class misses test-word volunteer
ed by the teacher, and then they
all take new start. But it has so
happened that a trickish peda-
gogue comes out second best. We
remember that an otherwise very
successful teacher inserted at a
spelling bee in Ohio the word po-
lypagous, with the object of seating
a lad of brilliant talents, against
whom he had a spite. But, unfor-
tunately, the boys in the rear
had failed to understand him, and
before the teacher could repeat the
word, one of the former with a deep
bass voice suggested ''pollyfox,"
whereupon the whole audience |
shouted ''pollyfox-hurrah for pol
lyfoxp The nick name sticks to |
the unfortune teacher to this day. |
Spelling is followed by tracing" in
on the black board, and
is often very interesting and even
exciting, as it requires not tlonly skill
but cool head. If it sh ouid hap
pen that teacher be outdone by
some bright scholar, then the gen
eral merriment reaches its climax,
while the old director shakes his
head in amazing wonder, and looks
upon the boy as prospective sen
ator from the congressional dis
trict in which the school is situated.

Unnatural Natural History.

The pelican feeds its young with
the life blood from it's own bleeding
Josom. This is a beautiful mis-
take, that will live forever in sym
bol and legend. The "real live"
pelican has large bag under her
unwieldly beak, and digging with
the beak toward the breast, she
feeds her brood and soils her feath-
ers with red stained tidbits of fish
from the bag. The nightingale
leans her breast against a thorn
and sings in pain. In the old poets
not only has she a thorn in her
breast but she puts it there. In
stead of being the voice of lonely
love she ought to be the emblem of
those discontented people who, in a
positionIenviable to others, first make
their own troubles and then spend
their lives in self-commisseration.
OF course the nightingale is not
such fool as she looks in poetry.
Swans are said to sing a death
song; this is poetry too. But they
are Matched during thunder; and
this is prose-the belief of other
wise sensible folk. Crows and cur
Jews hate each other so that their
eggs put in the same nest will all
burst. Talking Of eggs, the cock of
the south of !England lays an egg
when the hen has ceased laying; it
IS small insignificant affair with
no yelk in it, clearly an amateur at
Tempt. These cocks eggs are to be
found in Sussex, if nowhere else.

WITH CLEARER VISION.

I saw tonight the man loved
Three little years ago;
1 did not think so short q time
Could change mortal sol
There was none like him in those days
So strong, so true, so wise;
he had lofty, marble brow
And tender, soulful eyes.
A voice of music; hair by which
The ravens wing would seem
But pale, indeed face and form
To haunt sculptor's dream.
But when looked at him tonight
1 saw no single trace
OF the old glory-only just
A very common face.
No marble brow, no soul-fit orbs;
The face was round and sleek,
That once to my love-haunted eyes,
Was 50 intensely Greek.
l know full well he has not changed
So very much. All, mel
But l was blind in those dear days,
And now, alasl sec.
'Tis very dreadful to be blind,
Of course, and yet, tonight
should be happier, far, if
Had not received my sight.
One little thought will trouble me
only wish knew
Whether he still is blind, or if
His eyes are open, too.

The chief confusions about a wo-
man docter is that if she was sud

had fallen down a shaft, and they
told her he was young man and
unmarried, she would stop so long
to fix her crimps the man would die
from the violence of his contusions.

Blaine.

To question of the Herald cor
re- po' dents as to the Ohio letter
Mrs. Morrill, said: Some weeks
ago | received q letter from Colum
bus, Ohio, on a sheet with printed
head representing some political
organization. I was so surprised
and indignant at its contents that
l did not particularly notice wheth-
er it was from q state committee, a
county committee, or some political
club, but it was signed by Mr..
Brown, as chairman, and a Mr..
Ogdon as secretary. 1t was, as
well as can remember, about as
follows:
Senator Lot NJ Morrill,:
Dear Sir:-The situation in Ohio
is a cri tical one. The party is in
trouble on account of the attacks
on Mr.. Blaine as the candidate of
the party. Your well known char
acter as pure and upright states
man and coming from Blaine's own
state, you could refute the charges
as no one else can. We hope you
will come to us in this emergency,
and make as many speeches as pos
sible.
REPLY OF MRS. MORRILL,.

that any republican should be ig- |
nerant that my husband was dead.
1 was more indignant that he
should be asked to assist in making
Mr.. Blaine president. I at once sat

sheet this reply, as near as 1 can

letter and of my answer:

much as l mourn his death, l

HOW BLAINE WAS SAVED.

Morril, twas visited by Mr.. Blaine

A MAGIC POWER !
A Secret Agent at Work,

We we're surprised the other day TO
learn that certain individuals in this city,
who had for many years yielded to what
was apparently an Inevitable fate, were
startled from their torpid condition OF
semi-stupidiiy, into asserting their right
to ''life, liberty and the pursuit Of happi-
ness." These parties had been bound by
an influence as powerful as it was iacom-
prehensible. They knew not the cause,
yet they were victims to the result, ThGT
were enchanted, but they could not dis
Germ by what means they had been man
acled. They had long sought deliver
ance In vain. Their appeals TO science
and the knowledge contained in books
we're equally unAvailing. At last, relief
came. 1t was no! through any action OF
the President, or Of Congress, for their
trouble was not of q political character.
Neither did the Governors message re-
lleVe them, nor any action Of the new,
Legislature, Tor it was out of their power
and foreign to their jurisdietion. Yet
they were suddenly and effectuaily re-
leased from the bondage they sufafsc,
and placed on the equal scale Of human
nappiness. What was their trouble?'i
is what our readers will ask. They had
been rendered helpless By tina. ppiye-saI
