just emerged from her weeds, The other
not long married. whose husband had
lately gone to India for Il short term.
\ young lawyer present was drputed
to take the young widow in to dinner.
Unfortunately he was under lie impress

lady whose husband had Just arrived in
India.
The conversation between them COM
menccd by the lady remarking how warm
it was for the seiS,l Of the yelr.
"Ycs it is quite walm,' replied the
lawyer.
Then a happy thought suggested itself
to him, and he added with Il cheerful
smile:
But not as hot as the place to which
your husband has gone
The look with which the lady ans wcred
this lively sally will haunt that unhappy
man till his death.

The dilereNce in the people, and the

OF deep regret. The moral standard OF
the people has degenerated. and is cause
of mstrus,.. and disinterested friendship
is no longer the motive power. but self

time was when Il mans word was always
considered rs good as n bond, every one,
who had any pret"ntipn> IT, responsibility
had high sense Of honor. never promis-

just as he sad or promised deception
was out of the question, because as soon
as it was known that Il man would lie or
deceive ne aaS ndrked and no one would
have anythin. t. d, with him. But now
things are very different men promise
that which they know, 1T the time, can

HER BONNET.

When meeting bells began to toll,
And rious folk began to pass,
She deity tied her bonnet on,
The little, sober meetingl lass,
All in her neal, white curtaiued room, be
fore her tiny looking glass.
So nicely, round her lldy-chteks,
She smoothed hei bands of glossy hair,
And innocently wondered if
Her bonnet did not make her fair
Then strrnly enid her foolish heart for Ll:-
boring such ftncies there.
SO square she tied the satin strings,
And set the bows beneath Err chin
Then smiled to see how sweet she Looked;
Then thought her vanity Il sin,
And she must put such thoughts away be
fore the sermon should begin.
Bat, sitting meath the preached word,
Dcmurely, in her fathers pew,
She thought about her bonnet still
YES all the parson' sermon through
About its pretty bows ami bIiS which bet
ter than the text she knew.
Yet, sitting there with peaceful face,
The reflex of her simple soul,
She looked to he a very saint
And, maybe was one on the WHOLE
Only that her pretty bonnet kept away the

The New York Conference.

The independent conference in New
York city on Tuesday was remarka-
BILE gathering in the character of the
men who composed it aud the utterance
of expression, belief and purpose
There were about 700 delegates present
and the meeting was harmonious and
without Il descendant sound. Col.
Charles X. Goldman of Massachusetts,
was chosen chairman, with vice presi-
dents and secretaries from ii dozen
different states. Speeches were
made by Col. Goldman, Carl Schurz,
Congressman Lyman of Massachusetts,
Rev. Thomas X. Bacon of Connecticut,
Col. /. w. Iligginson, James +. Clatlin
of Illinois, President Seelye of Am
herst college and others. Instead of
resolutions an address was prepared
and read by Geo. w. Curtis of New
York and adopted without an opposing
voice. This address, although not
lengthy as measured by recent letters
of acceptance, covers the whole ground
and tells why independents cannot sup
port Blaine and why they can support
Cleveland. We shall endeavor to give
the address and President Seelye's
powerful speech in our next

Political Notes.

The Rutland Herald quotes gleeful-
ly from the Traveller: "Berkshire
republicans will support Blaine and
Logan" From the strange statement
we infer that the republican managers
feel about as farmer does when his
pasture fence is down. Every animal
must be safely tied in the barn before
he knows where to find it. SO with
the republican voter this year.
cleveland isn't known" shrieks the
hysterical Tribune. Well, Blaine is
and that's where the governor has the
hip-lock.
Mr.. Grover Cleveland was 26 years
old, strong, vigorous and bachelor
when the war broke out. He was
drafted and furnished substitute like
little man. Rutland Herald.
And Mr.. James G. Blaine was about
ten years older, vigorous enough to
push several questionable claims
against the government and married.
He was drafted, but sent no substitu tie
and stayed at home like Il big man.
Blaine pretended to be tickled half
to death when he heard of Cleveland's
nomination, but his son Emmons, who
was away from home and hadn't been
given the cue, gave the whole snap
away by saying that "father would
rather have seen any other man men
toned in the convention nominated
than Cleveland.r The indiscreet young
man affords material for the Hon.
Stephen b. Elkins to work upon.
The Queen City Clipper, which is
really against Blaine, thinks Edward
Johnson of the Free Press and Lucius
Bigelow of the Rutland Herald emit
e. s"uu Unelr eyes and write Blaine
editorials" The Clipper affords us
relief. 1t is evidently the tears from
their tightly closed eyelids that makes
the editorials so watery, or wishy
washy, so to speak. We see it all now.
Thanks, thanks.
The st. Adams Messenger quietly
but firmly informs the New York
Times that it is wrong on the tariff
question.
What Il relief it is in newspaper
perusal to run up against such heads
as 'The democracy at Chicago" "The
luminous political sky-clean Cleve-
land and Hendricks-ma the
doubtful states into the democratic
phalanX of certain victory :"
1t is needless to add that the Mont
pelier Argus did it.
The Irish World, which wants Eng
land blown up with dynamite, is for
Blaine, while John Boyle O'Reilly's
more conservative Pilot supports
Cleveland.
Hold on minute. Wasn't it Dorsey
who planned Logan's Chicago cam
paign for the vice-presidency. Ye-e-s,
think it was. And who is Dorsey &?
Dorsey-why Dorsey is patriot like
his intimate friend the Hon. Mr.. Elkins.
