THAT swEET-cKKE of Idaho, Governor
Bum, was pretty anxious during the
election, and continued to grow more
and more so as he read the Associated
Press kilograms. Finally, on the 9th he
could endure the awful suspense no
longer, and from the wilds of his col
ony sent the following dispatch to that
Independent, reliable paper the Phila-
dalphia Times
BOISE CITY, Idaho, Nov 9th.
The Times, Philadelphia: Please give
mey our candid opinion of situation, not
that am anxious, but l fear for the
Territory. WIN. NJ. BUM.
To which the following reply was
wired:
TIMES OFFICE,
Philadelphia, Nov. 9.
HIS Eccellency, Governor Bum, Boise
City, Idaho: Cleveland has New York
by over 200; Indiana by 5000; Jersey
by 400; Connecticut by 1900 and the
South. Blaine and Johnny Davenport
are kicking like steers, but it's no use.
Sorry for the Territory. The TIMES.
There was a good deal of information
in the answer, but there wasn't much
comfort for enc who must pack his
grip-sack next March, and HE him to
pastures new.

people should be told of it. 1t had its
origin in the Nelcs, of Portland, Oregon,
a newspaper which comes about as near
to being authority upon Democracy and
the Mormons, as our morning CO.
temporary; or in other words, no
authority at all: Utah is almost
solid for Cleveland. If elected, he
will undoubtedly keep the pledge
of the Democratic party to the
Mormons to admit it as a State, and
shoulder polygamy upon the nation. :"
Whoever heard of any pledge of the
Democratic party to the Mormons to
admit Utah as a State? When was the
pledge given, and to whom and by
whom? What was the agreement by
which polygamy was to be "shOuldered
upon the nation? How was the should
ering to be performed? What does
Governor Cleveland know about
the bargain? We might go on and ask
questions of this character from now
till dOomsday, and neither the Portland
Ne,os, nor any other paper could answer
one of them, for the simple
reason that there is absolutely nothing
in the story that any bargain has been
entered into between the Democratic
party and Mormons. We doubt that
any Mormon has had any communica-
ton with any member of the Demo
cratic National Committee, or with Mr..
Cleveland, since the Chicago Conven-
ton and are positive that if there has
been any such communication, it has in
no way related to politics, to policies, or
to Utah in connection with the matter
of admission to the Union.
If Republican editors didn't have
something TO lie about, they would be at
a loss to fill their columns; if they
couldn't attack the Democrats and the
Mormons, how dreary their papers
would be.

UNGENERoUs AND UNJUST.

"We'u nominate no Jim Blaine next
time" is the threat from which the Re
publicans are trying to derive comfort
and hope. Somebody must be blamed
for every failure that occurs, and in this
instance 1t is only natural that fault
should be found with Mr. Blaine. AS
matter of fact he is only one of those
upon whom the responsibility for the
defeat rests. If we were to apportion
the responsibility, it would fall upon Re
publicans generally, in proportion as
each has had a hand in shaping the
policy of the party and in directing its
operations? 1t is true that on the 4th
instant the people repudiated James G
Blaine, but they none the less declared
against Republicanism-aga Repub-
hcan methods and practices. Blaine
figured only as unit, and
the war was made upon a
horde; the struggle was against
principles more than men. As regards
Blaine personally, he was unquestion
ably the strongest man in the party.
His nomination demonstrated this, and
his campaign confirmed it. There is no
denying the fact that he is a magnetic"
man, however much the term may be
played upon. He wins men, CARRYING
them against their own judgment
There is no other man in the Republi-
oy.fry IL.
campaign that Blaine did; there is no
other man who could have electrified
the people as he electrified them, or
who could have rallied them around
banner of which they had for years
been growing sick and tired. 1t was
undignified and vulgar for the Presi-
Dental candidate to make a personal
canvass, and appeal directly to the people
for their support, but without that
personal canvass Mr.. Blaine would have
been showed under. He may be crit
icised and condemned for going about
the country as circus in spangles and
tinsel, but that hippodroming attracted
the voters as nothing else would have
done. Democrats know and intelligent
Republicans admit that if Blaine had
not gone into Ohio and called the
people around him the Buckeye State
would have given a Democratic major
ity in October. His visit to West Vir-
ginia came near deprving the DEM
ocrats of that State, and if he had kept
out of New York the plurality against
him there would have been ten
times what it is. 1t is nom
sense, besides being cruelty un-
kind to talk about the Republicans
having to carry the "load' of Blaine.
for Blaine carried the Republican party
and carried it farther and better than
! any other man in the party could have.
done. 1t is true that he was weighted
down by bad record, but his draw
ing" and managing powers were SO
much better than those of pretty nearly
any other man in the party, that he
was able to move under the burden and
still help the cause along. The defeat
was of Republicanism, more than of
Blaine, for Blaine iran ahead of his
ticket" in the language of elections If
Republicans were just, not generous,
they would admit the truth of this, and
give their Standard-bearer credit for
making the funeral of his party at least
respectable in the matter of attendance.

The Muscles.

The chief function of the muscles is
| to contract, and thus to move a given
part by drawing toward itself the ten
| don which connects the tWO-the part
| and the muscle. Some OF the muscles
are moved by a nervc-force sent from
the brain by the will-others act inde-
pendently of the will as most of the in
ternai muscles. Still others-as the
muscles concerned in brcathing-are in
the main independent of the will, and
yet can be controlled by it to some ex-
tent.
Again, even those whose ordinary
movements are determined by the will,
can be operated On Independently of it
by what is called "reEeX' nervous
action. In this case a sensat on runs up
to one of the brain-centers, and then,
without going as high as the region OF
intelligence, runs down nerve of mo-
ton to the supposed muscle.
This is so with the convUlsive move
ments of hysteria, epilepsy, etc.
Habitual acts become in time largely,
if not wholly, reflex, thus relieving the
mind from experimenting them. A
bird can fly and fish can swim with
out brain-through this reflex power.
No one knows what tie moving force
is which so wonderfully plays between
the brain and the muscles. 1t is not
electricity. although the muscles even
of dead man can be moved by this
latter force In every department of
science we soon strike the limits of
the movable.
Sometimes, as in cholera (St. Vitus
dancel. there is wild movement of the
muscles, often fearlully violent and ut
terly uncomfortable. Sometimes, as in
l0cOm0tor ataria, so called, there is an
irregular action of the voluntary muscles
the legs, arms and head moving
grotesquely in walking. Sometimes.
as in a trance, the limbs of patient
can he placed by another in the queer
est postures, and the former will not
have the slightest power to change
them, although he may have the full
possession of his senses.
The muscles retain more or less of
their popularity for time after death.
The heart of some animals will beat
for hours removed from the body. In
some cases of death from cholera and
yellow fever, certain convulsive force
may continue for awhile. One man,
several hours after death from cholera,
brought his hands together and lifted
his arms into the air, repeating it for

A rosy-cheeked, rollicking girl;

Her teeth were like pebbles of pearl.

But d onors quite frequently whispered:

That bundles and iainties l saw
Pass into the door of our kitchen,
Sweet gifts from my mother-in-law.
Sometimes when my labor was heavy,
And wages exceedingly low,
sank on my pillow discouraged,
Bewailing my trials and woe:
Bat trouble was suddenly lifted,
And icy ill-humor would thaw,
When round rolling dollars would jingle
From the hand of my mother-in-law.
Bat once on a cod winter morning.
When snow mantled valley and hill,
The wife had cherished so fondly
Lay silent and speeches. and still,
And l with two wee little children
Was left in the world all alone.

To weep for face that had gone.

thought o the varied past.
And wondered what Eail in the future
Would fondle my dA...ngs ut last;

The form of my motherin-law.

A Dangerous Quarter Of London.

On the third of last month. at about
six o'clock, as l was returning home
from my Office at Whitehall, and had
just passed small alley in High street,
St. Giles, halfway between st. Giles
Church and Tottenlam Court Road, a
fellow, coming toward me, snatched
my watch-chain Gan Albert) and ran
down the alley. l instantly turned
round, and followed him down the
alley, calling out Stop thief Two
young fellows were coming down the
alley toward the thief and myself, and
might have stopped linn at once, but
they made room for him to pass, and
then spread themselves out, arm in
arm, to hinder me, but did not attempt
any violence. upset one of them and
got past, but it gave the thief time to
increase his lead, and, alter keeping
him in sight for two or three turnings,
/ finally lost him in the maze of small
alleys behind st. Giles Church. /

near the Seven Dials, and then gave in
formation at Bow Street Station. Of
course, have not heard anything of
my chain. There is comic side to al
most all misfortuncs. / have said that
l only lost my chain, but was so firm
ly convinced that my watch was gone,

tents of my watch-pocket after the af-
fair, but racked my brains to give an
accurate description at the police sta
ton of the old-fashioned gold watch
which l thought l had lost forever.
My Joy may be imagined when. on
nearing home, from pure habit l put
my hand to my warch-pocket to ascer-
tain how near it was to dinner time,
and found there, safe and sound, my
