was alarmed to SEQ that his wife was gone
He ran into the parlor and discovered that tho
body of the youngest child was also missing
Mr.. Douglas made hurried search, and found
his wife lying in the woodshed with her dead

LIKE a. drowning man clutching at
straws, the Democratic party has been
to the hope that Tilden and the
barl would float it to the port of victory
or a haven of rest for the next four years
or eternity. The straw. however, feels
itself too weak to bear the burden, and
bobs gracefully but dexterously from un-
der the sinking party. Old Grandfather
Tilden is uot yet in his dOtage.. Many of
his Democratic friends thought SO. but
they are disappointed. He is not going
to launch that bar'l of his on the Demo-
cratic sea of uncertain speculation. That
old gentleman intended to risk his barl
and his chances again, Notwithstanding
his modest declinations, and coy, playful
treatment of newspaper correspondents
and political friends, was certain until
one week ago. From the quiet Shades
of Greystone he watched the brief strag-
gle of his opponents at Chicago. With d
hopeful heart he heard of the Arthur
business boom," and the boasts of the
Edmunds men; but the name of Blaine
made bis dear old Democratic heart
tremble. He no doubt felt that he could
beat them all, except the one who led the
race; but he hoped that the action of the
two previous Republican national con
ventions would be repeated, and the man
of Maine turned down. When the joy
Gus announcement flashed over the coun-
try that the Republican Convention had
acceded to the peoples demands, and bad
named the nations choice, it shattered
the long lingering hopes of the Democrat
ic sage, and If the prying ear of a news
per reporter could have invaded the Ii
brary at Greystone on that eventful Fri
day evening it would very probably have
heard the old man exclaim, with sigh:

GEORGE WILLIAM CURTIS, in his spec,

GEORGE WILLIAM CURTIS, in his speech
at Chicago, said, in contrasting the Re
publican and Democratic parties:
Mr.. President and gentlemen: shall
not repeat to you the splendid story OF
the Republican party-a story that we
never tire of telling, and that our chill
dren will never tire of hearing. A story
which is written upon the hearts of all
American citizens because it recounts
greater services for liberty. for the ceun-
try, for mankind, than those of an party
in any nation and at any period of time.
And what is the secret of this unparallel-
ed historyP 1t is simply that the Repub-
lican party has been always the party of
the best instincts, of the highest desires
of the American people. This is its spe
cial glory. 1t has represented the Amer
ican instinct of nationality. American pa
triotism, and Christian devotion to liber-
ty. This is the state of the party, and we
are confronted with the Democratic par
ty, very hungry, and as you may well be-
lieve, very thirsty. Laughter and ap
plause A party without single def
mite principle party without any dis
tinct national policy which it dares to
present to the country, a party which
fell from power as conspiracy against
human rights, and now attempts to sneak
back to power as conspiracy for plum
der and spois.

great contest upon which we enter, make
him onr captain of he hust, the vast host

with an iron tube running to the spring,
that with few strokes the water
