Jas. S. Libby, Of Portland, Maine,
who has been in town the past week,
like his brother Reuben Libby, of
this city, is one of the staunchest
democrats. Some unwary republic
ans on hearing that he hailed from
a town in which Blaine resided for
some years, and seeing him in COM
pany with such an old time repub-
lican as his brother-in-l aw, Joshua
Hanscom, presumed to inquire of
him in regard to the plumed knight
and especially as to his popularity
in the Pine Tree State, but he
paralyzed them by replying that on
account of Blaine's unpopularity at
home the democrats of Maine enter
tanned high hopes of carrying their
state for Cleveland in November. 1t
is reported that some of his inter-
viewers went off and tried to COM
fort themselves by looking at the
pictures in The Judge and reading
The Chicago Tribune.

POLITICAL POINTS.

J. G. Monahan, editor of the
Darlington Republican made a brief
business visit to this city on Sat
urday last. His coming here had
no political significance although 1t
was generally supposed that ne was
looking up some one who will ac-
cept the republican nomination for
congress. Calvert Spensley and
Phil Allen declined to be interviewd.
Hon. ]. Sterling Morton, of Neb-
raska, one Of the most earnest
revenue reformers il the west heart
lily endorses the democratic tariff
plank He says:
The declaration, We demand tina. federal
taxation shall be exclusively for PUBLIC PUR-
POSES and shall not exceed the needs of the
government economically administered" suits
me perfectly, and is the most concise embodi-
ment of a tariff only for revenue. and the most
unequiyocal, which has been the pleasure of
the American citizen to peruse in long time.

that there are in the neighborhood

fcations of candidates. ignoring these slight

BulWer and the Village Girl.

Had Bulwer been less susceptibly
emotional, he might have been infinitely
happier. His life was wrecked by an
ill-considered marriage, which induced
the quarrel with his mother, who had
Judged the circumstances more dispas-
sionately; and while still youth at a
private school he INDUCED an attach
ment which left indelible impressions
on him. He tells in the Autobiography
of ''the pretty village girl" to whom
81 gave whole romance-never
spoken" At the time, apparently, he
hardly realized the depth and earnest
ness of their mutual attachment. They
were separated, and ''she was forced
into marriage against which her heart
protested" She died, and was laid to
rest in church-yard in Cumberland
and four years later he made pilgrim
age to the grave:
"Until | had knelt alone and at night,
beneath the stars, at that shrine, felt
that my life could never be exercised
from the ghost that haunted it-that
my heart could never again admit the
love OF woman, nor my mind calmly
men,"
But the phantom was never wholly
exercised. The story of the village
beauty with whom he had trihed on the
banks of the Brent was retold in the
Lily Of 'Kenelm Chillingly,' and when
reading that story before its publication
to his son and his daughter-in-law in
his declining years, he was painfully
overcome by his emotion. Till his pri-
waite papers were examined after his
death, they knew nothing of the real
cause Of chat emotion. His son remarks
that the early attachment had deeply
colored the whole of his life. The i'm
mediate effect was that he lost both
health and spirits, and had recourse in
his dependency to the consolation OF
religion. ''But it was long before |
found the consolation that I sought.
NY nerves We're so shattered that re-
llgilon oppressed me with her awe
rather than soothed me with her mercy"

Some Instances OF Discipline.


In many of the departments at Wash
ington much grumbling is heard amono
the clerks of the rigid enforcement If
the rules governing employees. An as
slstant chief of a prominent division of
the treasury, who had been in the de-
partment twenty-five years, went into
the corridor the other day to point out
the direction Of the cash-room to his
wife and q lady friend, and upon re-
turning to his work found on it a card
directing him to report to the Secretary
for disobeying rules in leaving his desk
on matters not connected with public
business. Not long ago clerk in an
other department was few minutes
behind in reporting for duty. He was
fined seven cents for being tardy. and
the fine taken out of his wages at the
end OF the month. To do this it was
necessary for his immediate superior to
formally communicate to the disbursino
officer of the department, who carefully
computed the value of the time lost. and
then the Auditor and First Comptroller
had to approve the account, and by the
time the red tape performance was
ended the Government had lost prob
ably the value of one days time of a
clerk in formally passing the fine of
seven cents npon the tardy employe
and collecting the same.-DetroI Post
