The Fourth Floor.

1t was on the fourth floor of the Moi
fat Block. The occupant of an office
sat reading his paper, when the door
opened aud queer-looking old chap,
having very old hat and very bad
pair of boots, and making very thin
coat do great deal of duty. entered
and bowed and said:
''They wouldn't let me come up in
the elevator, and so clumb the stairs.
Is it proper to say clumb?"
The occupant looked up, and then
returned to his article on 1.-The Salt In
dustry of Michigan"
''Well, never mind whether it is or
not" continued the man as he shut the
door and leaned against it. Il clumbed,
and here am. / struck the town last
week. / am not certain as to the prop
erness of the word struck, but | ar
roved here and have had an internal
hard time of it. My friend, am nigh
onto 60 years old. "
The occupant looked up. refolded
his paper, and went on with his article.
Nigh on to 60 and clean diseour-
aged" said the old man. Fact is, I
kinder think if somebody don't gimme
quarter or sunthin as a present I'll
precipitate myself into the river. be-
lieve precipitate is the word, though |
wouldn't swear to it. Would you like
to warm an old mans heart with
giftp"
The occupant turned around and
punched the fire, and then sought the
paper again.

handsome present and save my life.

you off. Avarice is not the predomi-
mating trait in my character. | believe
predominate was properly used there,
though I'll leave it to you. ;"
There was deep silence in the room
for sixty seconds.
well, we might say ten. That
would buy a plug of tobacco, and as
long as L had anything to chew on /
shouldn't think of drowning myself.
Yes, ten cents would kinder entitle me
TO mingle in with the joyous festivities
OF the occasion. You needn't be in
any hurry about handing it over; I've
got all the time there is
This time the silence continued for
120 seconds, and was thick enough to
knock down oyster soup.
81 presume you have nickel about
your person, whispered the old man
after a while. Il won't agree to cut
much of figure in the festivities for
that sum, but I'll make it go as far as
possible"
There was more silence. Not leaf
stirred, nor a bird chirped.
''Good-bye!" said the stranger as he
opened the door and backed out.

Beautiful Hebrew Maidens.

l only wish you could meet some of
their daughters coming out of public
school of an afternoon. Such COM
plexions as they have! The olive and
the peach are blended in their cheeks.
Such eyes! You must 90 to Southern
Spain or Italy to see other eyes to COM
pare with them. Such plump and
shapely forms, SO wholesome and
healthy. Are these in their silks and
jewels the hated, mean, miserly, grub
bing, self-denying Jews we read aboutP
you ask. Come and see their brothers
Washington and Julian Nathan, sons
of the murdered Jew millionaire, who
were for years considered the hand
soonest young men in New York. Look
at the young Hebrews in the theaters,
the music halls, the billiard rooms, the
clubs. See how fashionable and costly
is their dress; see how they fling their
money about. You say all Jews are
stingy. These young swells are not.
You say that if they spend adollar they
expect to make five by it. That may
be so in business, but Lord! Lord! how
they are spending money like water on
each other for drinks, for women s
oIuIiOS, IOI SCdbo at bllc play, lOE eX-
travagant dinners. To tell the truth,
wonder what their old fathers, who be-
gan life with peddler's pack or a
second hand clothes shop, would say if
they could see the young bucks as see
them, constantly in the vortex of fash
ion or pleasure or sin, up town late at
night. And yet, on the other hand, we
New Yorkers have observed that Jew
will be as close as the door of a bur-
glar-proof safe, denying himself not only
the luxuries but some of the very COM
monplaces until he can afford to do the
ether thing, and then presto! he has a
place on Murray Hill, costly pictures,
a corps of servaa.s, dancing and
French and music masters for his chill
dren, and sealskins and phaeton for
his wife.-Neao York Letter IN San

To leave the turmoil and the careful tu-
mutt,
And wander vaguely TO pleasant region.
Where green fields glow with sheen OF sum-
mer surset
And narrow farther to a sylvan vista,
Whence issue SQUADS to sootbe the spirits
To bear the laugh and gurgle Of low waters.
And young birds sins with a diviner music,
And young birds carol with lovelier music,
Aud evening winds that walk with FAINTER
fSotfall
Unto the white cloud and the bluer sky
To rest a little some green willow under.
Whose branches whisper in that shadow gar
den,
And hold that hand which hath the tenderest
And touch sweet lips just as thine eyes are
closing;
This is that falling ere the sunsets fading,
This is that dying ere the morn immortal!
To see blue hooded violefs reposing
And kiss thy check, as if thou vert 3 sister,
And warm thee with their breath OF heavenly
odor,
As If thou vert to them indeed a sister.
To find some quiet in the willow vista,
Some little siumber in that shadow garden;
This is that evening of thy dreamlese sleep
This is that slumber ere .hc life immortal!
A gentle waking to a new beauty,
A gradual unfolding TO the soul life,
As though roses chrysalis transported
Into the blooming valley OF that Eden;
slow unfolding of an early blossoms;
A little kneeling at the sapphire portals,
And consciousness of all surcease of heart
ache, fl--.f
Tumultuous tremor as the soul receiveth
The grander splendor of the spheral chorus,
The JOY which "passeth human understand
iny."
This is that coming of another morning,
This is the morning of the lie immortal.

Lord Wolseley recently delivered

Lord Wolseley recently delivered a
lecture on Success in Life He
recommended total abstinence, on the
ground of expediency. If, he said, two
lads started out together in life, all
things being equal with the exception
of one drinking and the other being a
teetotaler, it was long odds on the lat
ter. He added that on his Red river
campaign, one of the hardest he was
ever on, there was no strong liquor,
and there was likewise no sickness and
no need for prison discipline. If drunk
enness could be eliminated, crime in
the English army, ne contended, would
be practically at an end.

Here is another of the many reminis-
cences that are going the rounds of the
press concerning Sojourner Truth: At
one time during the war she was in
Washington, and called on President
Lincoln and gave him her photograph,
saying, ''The face is black but it has a
white back to it. VIII you please give
me picture of your face with a green
back to it?" Lincoln smilingly handed
her $40 greenback, the vignette of
which was the picture of his face.

The election of Cleveland and Hendricks was a chance victory for the Democracy. They can- not say it was won by them. They may well thank the Independents of New York for this victory. These Independents are a clase of voters who have always claimed to be Republicans-who to this day say they are Republicans-and
 who, now as they always dId; detest the principles ofthe Demo- cratic party. These where the instruments-these Independent Republicans-who, having been led by the ignis fatuus ofpersonal motives, assisted the enemy into power. Now in their chagrin, they see the terrible mistake, hut-!oo late! This in a nutshell, was the cause of the great(3 De- mocra,ic victory that is now flung at cur teeth, and of which lhe Democracy boast so much. But in all, it is g good lesson for the New York Independents. There is a Spanish proverb which says that "A los g0Ipes Sc quiia 10 bruto," and which may apply in this case, and it may be that at the next Presidential election, four years hence, ihe Independ- ents of New York may know bet ter and not go of in a tangent and loose great prize.

Mrs. Belva Lockwood, the woman candidate for President on the Woman's Rights ticket, received, according to the latest returns, five votes for the uffice. Texas gave her four votes and Ohio one. The conclusion is that there are four "damphools" in Texas..and one in ohio, and that Yuma has none, for it did not give Mrs. Lockwood even a re . cOguition. Under the COnstitu- tion of the United Statesa a woman can't hold the office of President even if elected.

Most people seem te be un- aware an Act was passed March ', 1881, making il misdemeauor for any one 10 gamble with q minor, and fixing the penalty for all parties at $500 fine or three months imprisonment, or both at the option of the Judge. It has become quite a common occur renee af late to see men and mere boys engaged in card playing and dice shaking for money in various saloons in this place. The law fixes the same penalty upon the owner of the saloon in which said unlawful gambling is carried on as it does upon the participants in the game. Aside from being d violation of the statute it is a crime against the morality and peace of every home in the land to which belongs an er:ing son. It is a good sign that the citizens of Yuma are waking up to the fact that many of the youth are going to destruction through this channel. A sad caSe occurred few days ago when it was found that ono of the most trusted boys in town had become a defaulter ip quite a sum, which money had been lost at the gaming table. The boys reputation is ruined,s row and humiliation brought upon his parents, and a general dis grace accorded to the town. The parties who won the money a1e even more guilty than he, and should have the full extent of the law meted out to them. Our citizens are seriously talking of making an example of places where boys are allowed to gamble, and the law will be strickly en- forced hereafter.

FOR REFLECTION.

The main issue before the American people at the recent National election, was the tariff question. Now, did the Demo- cratic party elect their Presi- dential candidate upon that issue? Was he not elected by a scratch? And does not the fact that Mir. Blaine had majority of the elec- toral votes outside of New York, show that the American people are Republican lu sentiment, and that the Republican platform and views expressed therein upon the tariff question are the Sen timents of the people? Any sane man who has studied the State of New York, and knows the influences that gave that State to Mir. Cle- veland, will readily see that we are correct upon this point, and will readily see, too, that Mir. Cleveland was not the man the people wanted to occupy the Presidential chair. But will some sensible Democratic paper explain to us how it was done? And let that sensible Democratic paper bear in mind, before it essays an explanation, that it must not claim the Electoral Vote of New York as having been obtaind upon that issue-the tariff question. And can the Democracy-will it have the audacity, and will it be little enough 10 claim New York as a Democratic State? We await a fair and impartial exposition of the entire question from a Demo- cratic standpoint.

The recent National election has served as a good lesson for the Republican party, and has taught them that, hereafter, they must remain united at least on Presidential elections. It has been a lesson and a rebuke also 10 the different ismS that sprung up and attempted to cut a figure by placing their Presidential candidates before the people and audaciously c0urted their suf- frages. It is a qualification that these ismS have passed away, and that their bones are now bleaching upon the shores of oblivion under the sun of public contempt and that they will never again at tempt to mar, or ruffle the politi- cal waters. This is as it should belt was their inevitable doom! Coming to the field as they did, under unfavorable circumstances and led by bliuded fanatics, they were but impediments to the two great political parties, and in some States d1d much harm. In New York they gave the State 10 the Democracy and caused the defeat of the Republican candidate for the Presidency. But they will do harm no more! And in four years hence tLe two National par ties, upon whom the great Anne. rican people look for protection, will alone engage in the contest for President.
