In imitation of Satan, who promised to give
away the whole world, when he did NOT own a
foot of it, some enthusiastic personal parti-
sans Of the New York Governor, approached
Ben. Butler, and offered him cabinet ap-
pointment, if he would turn in and help
Cleveland on the first ballot, but the old gen.
tlemen spurned the proffered bride. But
Ter struck hands with John Kelly, and they
twain predict Cleveland's defeat, and will
do all they can to verify their prediction.
Had old Ben felt any way sure of Cleve-
lands election, had he virtue to spurn the
proffered bride? Doubted. The following is
the statement: ''It is said that Cleveland's
organizers held half-hour interview with
Butler this morning and rendered to him the
position of secretary of the treasury under
Cleveland if he came to Cleyeland's support
ON the first ballot. Butler promptly replied
that he could not consent to hold cabinet
Office under a man so unskilled in politics as
Cleveland was. In making this reply But
ler's language is said to have been more Wig
orous than delicate, but it conveyed the con-
temptuous idea above mentioned"

He will remain In the field as a greenback

they did not adopt platform he could sup

Of which he was a member, that he earnestly

upon bis views being Incorporated in the
platform. This is the game willy Ben played
to let himself out. He never had any ides
that he could secure his platform
and / am just uncharitable enough to thint
he made bis platform radical to make sure
that it would not be accepted. AS he could
not secure the Democratic nomination he de.
sired some excuse for not regulating the
nominations he already has, and If he had
committed himself to the Democratic ticket
he would be Obliged to withdraw from the
other tickets. So the platform dodge was
resorted TO and worked to a charm.

POETRY.


Preseience.
The noontide sun beats fiercely down,
Sweet scent OF locust fills the air,
The breezes lag through field and town,
And life has lost Its sense OF care.
And stretched anear the painting nock
That huddle In the locust shade,
They watch afar the sails that rock
All Idly In the track Of trade.
The white, white safls that idle lie
They watch, but never seem to see,
Their eyes are full, they sadly sigh,
Tomorrow must our parting be.
Tomorrow, loye-nay do not fear,
Tomorrow is a word OF hope.
And faith will keep your vision clear,
Where love alone would only grope"
All, man, your talk.but idly rolls,
All words of cheer must idle be-;
The precedence of some gentle souls
Is deeper than philosophy.
She hears the drowsy hum OF bees
Around them in the locust bloom;
But over all she hears or sees,
There vaguely falls sense OF doom.
"Dear love-" she says, tears drown the rest;
He tries TO still her vague alarms;
Her head sinks ON his loyal breast,
lie folds her In his loving arms.
Next morn upon the strand they part;
She hears the languid sea complain;
All, maiden, press your aching heart,
You shall not see your love again.
He may not come while ocean rolls:
And so hold IL true to be,
The prescience OF some gentle souls
Is deeper than philosophy.

THE CITY OF oRIzABA.

The City of Orizaba, with its $1,000 to
10000 inhabitants, looks poor, in rather
unpleasant contrast with the rich verdure
which surrounds it, wanders up the banks
of the pretty branch of the Rio Blanco
which flows through it, and even stands
forth in its paved streets. But it is well
worth seeing for its tropicals products
Behind the town rises dome-shaped moup-
tain, which obscures the Peak Of Orizaba-..
the beacon Of mariners approaching Vera
Cruz, although it stands 100 miles from the
Gulf. Close to the city ON the south ap-
pears loftier height, cloud-topped during
the whole of my stay in Orizaba, and q
prominent object in the eastern horizon

ANA. There are two or three second-rate
hotels in Orizaba, but OF any rate preferable
for d stopping place TO thoss in fever-infect-
ed Vera Cruze. Nearly every roof in ORR
zaba is made Of red tiles, whose appearance
is novel for Mexico and also not little at
tractive. The stream Is spanned by several
handsome and substantial stone arch
bridges. No Spanish public works in Mexi-
co are more noteworthy than that of the
bridges. Many Of them might almost have
been brought from Spain bodily, so closely
10 they resemble the arches with which
travellers in the mother country are famil-
lar. The railway has handsome modern
station at Orizaba, aud tralncars run to the
principal street, on which the hotels arc
situated.

A DENTIST TAKES AN ADVANTAGES.

does not look unlike pious divine, and his
mode Of conducting himself. coupled with q
sanctimonions timbre OF voice, completes
the deception.
II il said of the Doctor that during one of
his exciting political campaigns he was hit
in the eye by prize-ighter. He was, of
course, too much of n gentleman to engage
in scrimmage when he knew the odds
were against him so he quietly bided his
time. Some months later the prize-fghter
had a bad tooth and dropped into the Doc
tors office to have 1t pulled. The hitter
instantly recognized his assailant, but did
not betray his emotions. BY dint of eloquent
persuasion he induced the prize-fghter to
take laughing gas, and when the rnfiian had
become unconscious the Doctors old-time
fire returned. Hurrying over to his old
friend, Prof. William Clark. he borrowed q
pair of boxing gloves and then returning TO
the Office went to work at the prize-fghter.
When the latter awoke he had two hand.
some black eyes and his nose was bleeding
with delightful freedom.
What Is II ?" asked the prize-fghter
when he opened his eyes.
Keep perfectly quiet" urged the Doc
tor concealing his boxing gloves under tn,
chair you've fractured your jngnlar."
Then he put cork In his PATIENTS mouth,
extracted the tooth and charging him ~ for
the job, advised him to 60 home and go TO
bed at once.

things, but whenever he sees that prize
fighter he has to sit down for about an houi

Not n Friend Of the Hadaoe,..

with big N. The genuine haddock is made
Of well seasoned bass wood, which is put
together in fakes and layers, otherwise it
would BIO impossible to carve the fish. II Is
the dryest fish that swims. When cooked
half day, the general droughtiness is
greatly increased, and when the fish begins
to taste about as moist as lime kiln it is
then ready to serve. A peculiar sauce, q
few degrees dryer than raw cotton batting
is spread on the paddock TO make it dryer.
The fish should be served on porous plate,
in order TO absorb any lingering trace Of
primeyal taste it ever had. Nothing will
eat this fish except human beings. and they
rarely eat il more than once.- Burlington
