Firm for Blaine, But Little Shaky on OrthOg.
raphy.

Yesterday afternoon 10 rn0I re-
porter met Bob McReynOlds rushing
toward the depot with a paint bucket
and brush. Upon being Intercepted
as to what was up, Bob said that he
could not stop-he had been sent for
by the Colorado delegation to Chicago,
which was going through Gu special
ca and ne was going to meet them at
the depot.
That the delegation wanted Bob, ex-
/ cited no surprisein the reporters mind,
but what they wanted with paint
bucket and brush was beyond his COM
prehension, and falling into Bob's
wake he followed him to the depot.
When the train came in it needed only
casual examination Ofthe car to solve
the mystery. On one side of the car
was banner displaying the sentiment
Colorado Delegation fol Blame" and
on the other banner reading 1.-The
Rocky Mountains are for Blame"
Bob was seized by delegate az soon
as he appeared and set to work remod-
cling and enlarging the Denver stple
of spelling to conform to eastern ideas.
He daubed lot of white paint over the
apostrOphe in Mountains" trans

an "e" and inserted an ri" in Blame
in both notices.
"The painter who got up your mot

ic idiosyncrasies, F." ventured the report
er to one of the party.
"Oh, those are all right" was the
reply. That's good enough in Denver.
When Eugene Field was out there he
used tn always insist on putting on all
the frills in spelling, but he's gone
now. He got too many eastern ideas,
and that's the reason we sent him oil
to Chicago. There 'aint amy use of an
''I'' in Blaine, but every fool loafer at
the dcpots along the road after we got
into Nebraska made fun of the spell
ing, and we concluded to get it changed
here and telegraphed for a painter.
Don't say any thing about it in your
paper. Our constituency would go
back on US to man if they knew we
went back on the Colorado way OF
spelling as soon as we got into Nebras-
ka." The bell rang here, and the
speaker took his leave, and after view
ing the remoddelled notices with a
look of disgust entered the car.-[ State

A GREAT RAILWAY PROJECT.

Akin 20 the work of the Panama
Canal is IL project introduced by Con-
gresham Stewart into the House of
Representatives. He wants the Unit
ed States to build railroad from Mex
leo through Central America SO as to
unite the railway systems of North
America with those of South America.
The projected line is finally to be ex-
tended to the Argentine Republic.
This is u very bold scheme, yet who
will dare say will never be undertaken?
The trade of South America is now
nOnOpOlized by Great Britain, because
she has an abundance of steamships,
and we have none at all, But had we
direct railway communication with all
the centers of trade in South America,
a gigantic business would be devel-
oped, to the immense advantage Of the
manufacturers and merchants of the
United States. Il From DenOreSt'8

SUNSHINE COMES TOMORROW.

Some days must be dark and dreary,
Some lives must be full of gloom,
Some hearts Of their cares must weary,
Fill they long for rest in the tomb.
Some eyes must grow dim from weeping
While others are glad and bright,
Some wake while others are sleeping
Care-tree, until morning light.
o. well for the hearts which sorrow,
That the lOnged-fOr rest draws near,
And we'll that the sun tomorrow
May shine on the paths now drear,
There are sunny isles in mid-ocean.
Where the myrtle and orange bloom,
URheeding the wild cOmmotion,
Or the depths which no stars illume.
AS to those isles to the shipwrecked
mortal.
Tossed about on the oceans crest,
So the entrance to Heavens portal
Tells only of endless rest.

Drinking in the Middle Ages.

We are of opinion that drinking had
not in the middle ages reached anything
like the disgusting extreme at which we
find it in the latter part of the seventeenth
and the whole part of the eighteenth
centuries. Ohaucer, it will be conceded,
was an accurate painter of the contem-
porary manners. With the one excep-
ton OF Shakespeare no Englishman has
surpassed him. Many of the characters
in the Canterbury Tales" get drunk,
and misfortune happen to them in con-
sequence, but nothing Is ever SAID 10
indicate that the poet had any sympathy
with this gross form of vice. The same
may be said of the Elizabethan drama
lists. 1t is not until. we reach the
reign Of Charles III. that we find writ
ers of repute speaking of excess
in drink as if it we're no frailty. but
rather a virtue. This distorted view
OF things continued getting worse and
worse until the days of our grand
fathers. All eighteenth century litera-
ture is full of it. There was q print
once so popular thati was found on the
walls Of cottages, as we'll as in bar par
lors, which represented two compart-
ments. In each was a man sitting. The
first was labeled "A Jolly Good Fellow"
He had a tankard of foaming beer be-
side him. The other had for inscrip-
ton "A Muck-worm,' and represented
a thin and man making en-
tries in o ledger. The inference to be
drawn, of course, was that the man who
cast up his accounts was infinitely in
ferior in the social scale to the boon
companion who stnpefied himself with
beer We imagine this was the COM
mon feeling of the time, and it contin-
ued in many classes down to the begin
ming Of the present reign. W. ourselves

twice and an arm three times by falling

In Harper's Magazine such crimes as
those of Ferdinand Ward, while they
spring often from ~deprayity, are oftener
the result OF mere weakness of charac-
ter. Thackeray in many of his minor
sketches constantly draws the portrait
nf the man and whose means
are not equal to the style of living which
thew desire; and they desire it not for it,
self. but only because others have it.
They are not strong and steady enough
10 be c~ontert with that which they can
command AMI afford, and the means to
secure the other must somehow be OBJ.
tanned. Thackeray puts the fact in the
simplest and most amusing form. The
u couple must give q dinner, andin-
stead of the joint of lamb and the glass Of
beer which is the only repast to which
they have the moral right to invite a
friend-if, indeed, the beer may be NOR
allv permitted-they must needs pre-.
pare a feast which they a not honor
ably afford, and for the sole reason that
other people who can afford it give such
feasts.
It is this doing a little more, or a
great deal more, than the doer can
honestly afford, which leads to the
swindIes of Wall street. Living in u
house too expensive for his means, main
tanning it accordingly, dressing as his
richer neighbors dress, doing in all
things as they dot is this weak com-
pliance which is hidden in the fine
houses, and drives to the park in the
fine equipages, which presently ends in
Ludlow Street Jail and hopeless dis
grace. Yet it is the poorest kind of
competition, because the little imitator
might see even with his dull eyes that
there must always be a few persons who
can "do the thing" better than all the
rest, and without feeling it. The bull
frog may swell until he bursts, but he
can not rival the OK.
This is the tendency which oil sensi-
BILE people-and a great many other
wise sensible people are swept away by

of individual example is immense, but
it is often unierestimated by the indi-
vidual. My vote is of no consequences,

a saturnalia of luxury and extravaganza

simple, moderate, temperate way, is
diminishing the supply of Ferdinand
