About six months ago." he said, there
was play produced in u city theater here
in which young actress, who has the
reputation of being the idol among the
dudes, took the leading part. She is a

late her upon her performance las had been

in New York. The dressing-roomsi in the
Star theater are down u steep flight OF
steps. and when l went on the stage
l observed somebody climb up these steps
hurriedly, trot across the stage, say good
night to tho doorman, and disappear. A
moment later | spoke to one of the actors
and asked him where the girl was. He
said he didn't know. | went down to her
dressing room and found that she had
gone. Then hurried up stairs and the
doorman told me chat it was she that had

speeding down toward Fifth avenue,
with her cloak tightly drawn around her
and her bent down. She was hurrying

What We Have Missed.

This great republic has narrowly os-
capped what would have been most
humiliating disaster.
The success of Cleveland meant the
domination of solid south over north
that had oyerthrown it on tho field of
battle.
Ii meant a president in the white
house who would have been the direct
product of political murder and fraud.
1t meant that tho dial of time was to
be turned back until the bloodshed, the
boundless expenditure Of treasure, the
ocean of widows and orphans tears, and
the marvellous deeds OF Valor, patriotism,
and craftsmanship that marked the great
war for the union should be written down
on the pages of history AS having boon a
barrenand ghastly sacrifice without pur-
pose or reward.
1t meant the exaltation of.the seducer
and tho proAigate over honorable chas-
tity aud sober domestic virtue.
1t meant bringing the industrious we'll
paid American workinRman down to the
level OF tho poorly.paid, ill.fed, and
hopeless wage workers Of Europe,
II meant tho substitution Of FREQ trade
for protective tariff policy that has
made our nation tho marvel Of tho world.
1t meant tho triumph Of duh, COM
mon. place man over one OF the brightest,
braniest men Of the epoch.
1t meant that the thousands Of manned
union soldiers aud soldiers widows and
orphans who now earn an honorable
support in the service OF the government
should be cast out to have their places
filled by northern copperhosds and
mossbacks and the red.handed assassins
of East Feiieisna, Copish, Danyille, and
New Iberia.
1t meant that the Peoksnits Miss
NGncys, and hypocrltes of the republican
party would be able to chatter, oacklo,
and grin over having cast from power tho
grand party that is now happily rid Of
them,
Il meant that Thomas A. Hendricks

crowd that rainy day and speculated on
what might have been. Had the farmer
been the right sort of o man the boy would
have boen at home. 1t would have been
as good as holiday for both. All the
items of the day.book would have becn
posted up after breakfast, and we'd have
looked over the diary to see that day we
sowed wheat in lot No. 4-what time last
spring we set out those apple trees-just
what day we sold the wool and bought
that new wagon. and we might even run
back year to see when the equinoctial
set in and how long it lasted.
Then there would be something to do
down cellar-old vegetable to carry out
a pane of glass to put in the window
boards to be nailed on the bins-sheives
to put up for tho canned fruit-perhaps
some whitewashing to sweeten the place
for the winter.
BY 10 o'clock we would be in the barn.
| The harness should be oiled on damp
day. We'd first take them apart and give
each piece thorough wash in soap suds,
and IL straps or buckles were loose tho
sewing awl and needles would speedily
repair damages. An hours work would
add years wear to every harness. Then
the crank to the grindstOne should be
fixed on solid-that loose plank in the
stable nailed down-the broken rung in
tho ladder going up to the NOW made
secure-the managers overhauled to pre-
vent waste of fodder-all pieces of, rope
and straps picked up and hung where
they could be found when wanted, and
the barn swept clean. In this latter task
we'd find clevis or two, odds and ends
OF chain, that hammer which has been
lost for TWO weeks, two or three drag
teeth, and other articles, all of which
should be secured where they would not
go astray again.
After dinner the barn doors, which have
bothered all summer long, should receive
attention. The dozen places in the staDit
into which the keen air of winter would
drive should be made snug. Every hinge
on every door Of barn or sheds should bC
oiled. Ptchiorks, spades, and shOyeIs
with loose handles should be seen TO
and that spade should be ground to al
edge.
1t wouldn't be bit like work to take I
wrench and overhaul the family carriage
aud the wagons. Loose nuts should be
frightened, springsoiled, bolts driven home
aud tho grease cleaned away before II
works into tho hubs and weakens thu
whole wheel.
And then those iron hooks might b
driven in place in the smoke house, new
handle fitted to the ax, the tanning mil
cleaned up, and all the grain bags hunteC
up, marked, aud placed together, and b.
supper time we'd have saved S25 of wea

LATE dispatches indicate that West
Virginia may have been carried for the
fusion ticket. If this is true the state
will give three votes for Blaine and three
for Butler. In that case it could occur
that the election would be thrown into
the house of representatives. Adding
Wisconsin to the list Of states claimed
yesterday by THE NATIONAL REPuBLI-
can for Blaine would give him total Of
245 votes. If that claim was fallacious as
to New York and Virginia, 4s votes would
have to be deducted, leaving him 1877.
Adding three votes from West Virginia
would give him 200 votes, Cleveland
would have 19s, and Butler 3.
