Mr.. TILDEN'S LEGATEE.
Gen. John B. Gordon, of Georgia, Be-
ieves Henry B. Payne Should
Be Nominated.
The More Men Decline the More They are
Wanted, says Mr.. Payne's Son-in-Law.
Especial Telegram to the Globe. !


PHILADELPHIA, April "A New York dis
patch to the Press says that Gen. John B.
Gordon, of Georgia, related to-day his ex-
perience at the Democratic Mecca, to which
he made pilgremage last week. After Mr..
Tilden had put in his usual disclaimer of
further personal ambition, the talk turned on
other persons. He discussed freely with
Gen. Gordon the possible candidates of the
party, Ahdel, Bayard, Mcdonald, Morrison
Cleveland, Flewer, Carlisle, and others; but
as to their chances of success in the event Of
he was wholly non-committal. Finally Gen.
Gordon asked
Well, whom can we elect? Payne is the
one we have not canvassed. Can he be
elected?''
Mr.. Tilden repliedhe thought Payne could
be elected beyond doubt. When Genl-
Gordon asked for the reason, he replied:
have three reasons which are very cogent
First-Mr. Payne has invariably been
right on every one of the questions that have
divided public sentiment during the past
thirty years. 1t is pretty hard to find such
men in the Democratic party. Secondly
His nomination will not brighten the business
element of the country into another outpour-
ing of cash to aid the Republicans. Lastly,
he has the ability to conduct the canvass,
the wealth necessary to its legitimate expen-
SEES, and the vigor to undertake reform after
the election. These three things are hard to
find combined in one man"
This statement from Tilden has revived in
terest in Senator Payne's candidacy. Though
he and his son, Col. o. H. Payne, have per-
sistently decried the possibility of his being
nominated and insist that he would not,
under any circumstances, be a candidate,
events are rapidly shaping to the same issue
in national politics as they were when
he was put forward for sena-
tor in Ohio. Lately Col. Payne has
seen that his father was getting into the arena
regardless of all they said. The question of
making still more positive and emphatic
utterance was discussed and decided mega
lively on the advice of ex-Corporation Couny
sci McWhitney, of New York city. Nh.
Payne's son-in law, who pointed out that
this was year when the people were seeking
candidates, and the more man declined the
more he would be wanted. This political
movement is variously constructed, but all
opinions agree that Payne can enter the con-
vention if he likes as Tilden's legatee

SHE AND I
flames Berry Bensel.1


And said, "She is Dead could not brook
Again on that marvellous face to look"
But they took my hand and they led me in,
And left me alone with my nearest kin.
Once again alone in that silent place,
My beautiful dead and I, face to face.
And could not speak, and l could not stir,
But l stood and with love I looked on her,
With love, and with rapture, and strange
surprise
looked on the lips and the close-shut eyes;
On the perfect rest, and the calm content
And the happiness there in her features
blent;
And the thin, white hands that had wrought
so much,
Now nerveless to kisses or fevered touch.
Ny beautiful dead who had known the strife,
The pain, and the sorrow, that we call Life
Who had never faltered beneath her cross,
Nor murmured when loss followed swift on
loss;
And the smile that sweetened her lips Away
Lay light on her blessed mouth that day
l smoothed from her hair silver thread,
And 1 wept but I could not think her dead.
felt with q wonder too deep for speech
She could tell what only the angels teach.
And over her mouth leaned my ear,
Lest there might be something should not
hear.
Then out from the silence between US stole
A message that reached to my inmost soul:
"Why weep you to-day who have wept be
fore
That the road was rough I must journey
DER?
Why mourn that my lips can answer not
When anguish and sorrow are both forgot?
Behold, all my life l have longed for rest
Yea, cen when l held you upon my breast.
And, now that l lie in breathless sleep,
Instead of rejoicing, you sigh and weep.
My dearest, know that you would not
break,
If you could, my slumber, and have me wake;
For, though life was full of the things that
bless,
have never till now known happiness"
Then l dried my tears and with lifted head
left my mother my beautiful dead.

Origin of the Postof1ice.
English Illustrated Magazine.

1LuoUi dUcu
The postofice is an example of the mode
in which things change while names remain
1t was originally the Office which arranged
the posts, or places at which, on the great
roads, relays of horses and men could be OBJ
tanned for the rapid forwarding of govern
ment dispatches. There was a chief post
master Of England many years before any
system Of conveyance of private letters by
the crown was established. Such letters
were conveyed either by carriers, who used
the same horses throughout their whole
journey, or by relays of horses maintained by
private individuals that is, by private post.
The scheme of carrying the correspond
ence of the public by means of crown mes
sengers originated in connection with foreign
trade. A postoffice for letters to foreign
parts was established 'for the benefit of the
English merchants" in the reign of James l,
but the extension of the system to inland let
tiers was left to the succeeding reign.
Charles l, by a proclamation issued in 1855,
may be said to have founded the present
postoff1ce. By this proclamation he COM
manded "his postmaster of England for
foreign parts to settle running post or two,
to run night and day between Edinburg and
London, to go thither and come back again
in six days, and to take with them all such
letters as shall be directed to any post-town
in or near that road" Neighboring towns,
such as Lincoln and Hull, were to be linked
on to this main route, and posts on similar
principles were directed to be established on
other great high roads, such as those to
Chester and Holyhead, to Exeter and Ply
mouth.
So far no monopoly was claimed, but two
years afterward second proclamation for
babe the carriage of letters by any messen-
gers except those of the kings postmaster
general, and thus the present system was in
augurated. The monopoly thus. claimed,
though no doubt devised by the king to en-.
nance the royal power and to bring money
into the exchequer, was adopted by Crom-
well and his parliament, one main advantage
in their eyes being that the carriage of COR
respondence by the government would afford
'the best means to discover and prevent any
dangerous and wicked designs against the
commonwealth" The opportunity Of an ex-
tensive violation Of letters, especially if they
proceeded from suspected royalists, was no
doubt an attractive bait, and it is rather
amusing to notice how the tables were thus
turned on the monarchical party by means
OF one OF the sovereign's own acts Of aggres-
sion. However, from one motive or another,
royalists and parliamentarians agreed in the
establishment of a state pest, and the institu
ton has come down without break from
the days of Charles to our own.

Especial Reports from the GLOBE Mankato offic
April =.
IIGnkGtO Dots.


There was an election at Mankato on Tues
day, which may be news to some people.
Tuesday demonstrated the fact that the
American citizen Will not be held by party
liRes in local matters.
Geo. B. Bohon, of st. Paul, the champion
truth teller of the northwest, addressed the
people of Mankato yesterday.
Judge Dickinson, wife and family, for
merly resident here, but now Of ST. Paul,
passed the recent Sabbath at the Mankato
house.
If there is any one thing which the aver
age Democrat can do with more grace than
another, it is to accept defeat There is
nothing like being used to it, and nobody
whines.
Mankato stretches out its hand and con-
doles with Minneapolis in the immortal
language of the defeated: ''We have met
the enemy and we are theirs,'' that is, the
Democratic portion of it,
Messrs. Halfhill, Zimmerman 81 Co., the
wholesale grocers, are receiving their stock
of goods very rapidly, and in few days will
be in ship-shape and ready to fill orders as
fast as they come in to them.
Every town in southern Minnesota that
can muster up a corporal's guard ofveterans,
is organizing G. A. R. post, and every one
that has enough young people to guarantee a
fair crowd, has a skating rink in full blast.
The Mankato Manufacturing company de-
elared five per cent. dividend to-day. The
company is engaged in the manufacture of
steam engines and general machine shop
work, and is in a most fourishing condition.
DR.. Livingston was the fortunate holder of
ticket No. go, found in a package of the eel
ebrated Matchless baking powder, which
yesterday drew an elegant moss rose tea set
at the store of Kinsella Bros. & Gleason, who
sell the goods.
What shall do for home? is the constant
query of the numberless strangers who are
continually arriving at Mankato, and the
question still remains unanswered. Who
will solve the problem by the erection of "a
house to rentP
VIII Spencer, of the firm of King & spen-
Ger, of Aitken, Mimi, and former Mankato
boy, was shaking hands with his old acquain-
tances here to-day. He reports Aitken as
booming, and the drug business, in which he
is engaged, as especially fine.
Mr.. Ira P. shissler, mayor of Van Vert,
Ohio, and a legal gentleman of some little
renown in his locality, is expected to arrive
here about the middle of the present month,
TO open q co-partnership with A. f. Plan,
present county attorney of this county. Mr..
Shissler has visited Mankato on several occa-
sions, and became struck with the place and
the live, go-ahcad style of the people, and his
removal here is the natural consequence.
