ST. NICHOLAS.
FOR
YOUNG FOLKS.
ATTRACTIONS FOR 1884-5.

No printed periodical can take the place
of parent, pastor, or school-teacher; but a
good magazine can supplement their work
and influence to a wonderful degree. IN
view of this, it is not eXtIavagant to say
that-instead of "Can we afford TO take 5
Nicholas ?"-the question of every earnest
household in English-speaking countries,
to day, should be "Can we afford NOT TO
take st. Nicholas 90
The magazine, during its eleven happy
years of existence, under the editorial
charge of
MARY MAPES DODGE,
has grown familiar to hundreds of thous-
ands young readers; and their interest and
intelligent enjoyment have constantly in
spired the editor and publishers to fresh eff
fort. To-day, its strength is in its whole
some growth, its sympathy with young life,
Its hearty recognition of the movement OF
events, and its steadily increasing literary
some of the good things already secured
for future mum berS of st. Nicholas:

Letter from Texas.

To the Chronicle:
Here we are in Texas, seven or
eight hundred miles from Tennes.
see. We left GAINESVILLE on the
morning of Nov. 9th, after spending
the night of the 9Th with that polite
and gentlemanly Hatcher Neblett,
and his very clever wife, who know
how to make everybody feel at
home about them. God bless them
in all the future.
We reached Nashville at IL, the
9th, and went out to see the Demo-
cratic demonstration that night,
and | never saw such an occasion !;
everybody was wild {; the city and
the heavens were made red with
bOn-fires, the earth shook with the
firing of cannon. and the intermedi-
ate space, the air, was filled with
the shouts, songs and hats Of the
great mass OF the excited crowd as
they went sweeping through the
streets, in fact, It looked like every
one was converted old men sung
songs. shouted and Rugged each
other. We found the same excite
ment all the way to- Texas.
We left Nashville Friday morn
Ing, the 7th, on the Northwestern
road, reached Mckenzie about -
O'Clock and changed cars for Mem
phis. The conductor on this part of
the road to Memphis is II radical of
the bluest stamp. His face showed
the bile all through the system.
The whole circulation showed the
greatest irregularity; the result OF
this arrangement, | suppose, Is the
defeat of Blaine; but he will get
over il, if it don't kill him. Should
either result follow, the country's
interest will go on the same.
The road from Memphis to Little |
RuG& will cure most any one OF dys- !
pepSia. 1t is road OF ups and
downs, aud the downs are worse
than the ups.
We reached Little Rock at mid
night and TeXarkan2 next morning,
then for Dallas. After leaving
Texarkana we passed through some
poor country, but when we struck
the prairie then the scenery was
grand from this on to Dallas and
beyond to the point of destination,
which was Lancaster, and the scene
spread On and on. 1t is the grand
est country l ever saw. Nature col
lecte3 her wisdom, power and love
and Bestowed her best gifts on this
Empre state. She is Democratic
tu t. core.

Mrs. President Polk.

Carp in his Washington letter
says: The widow Of President
Polk was here last week. She is
now eighty-One years old, and is as
healthy as George Bancroft who,
it will be remembered, Was her hus-
bands secretary OF the navy. She
was just nineteen years old when
she married Mr.. Polk, who was
then a member of the Tennessee
legislature. A farmers daughter,
her father had been able to give
her n good education, and when
she came here with her husband rs
a congreSsnan's wife, during Mon
rOe's last term, she at once entered
society. During Folks fourteen
session OF congressional life she was
as leading figure in Washington So
ciety circles. She was twice the
leading lady of the land. Once du-
ring Folks speakership, during
part of the administration OF Jack
son when there was no lady at the
White House to take precedence
over her, and again when her hus-
band was president. Mrs. Polk
was a great politician during her
husbands life. AS much so as
Mrs. Logan is now. She acted for
years as her husbands private sec
rotary, and during the time he WAS
in the White Houee she had
charge OF all his papers. She knew
how to manipulate the wires for
James X. Polk, and she understood
public questions thoroughly. 1t
was she who did away with hav-
ing refreshments at the ordinary
receptions at the White House,
and she also prescribed that no
should go on in her reign.
Mrs. Polk is a strict Presbyterian
still, and she is noted for her piety.
Her husband died year after he left
the presidency. Siuce then she has
lived in a place he bought in Nash
vile at the close of his term. 1t is
known as Polk Place, and it is said
that Mrs. Polk keeps her husbands
books and papers in the same con-
ditiOn as they were when he died,
now more than thirty-five years ago.

THE discounted Blaine shriekers
are thoughtless, precipitate and
inconsistent in their sneers at Hon.
Roscoe Conkling for accepting the
position OF counsel for the Demo-
cratic Electors in New York State
to watch the cunning Blaine mana
gers. Did they not secure the great
lawyer Evarts on their side-exper-
fenced in that sort of work in 1876
Let them think of Evart's work in
1876, and his reward at the hands
of the man he helped to count
in. Conkling was secured, not to
compound felony, but to prevent

A Great Discovery.

Mr.. VIM. Thomas, OF Newton,
Ia, says: "My wife has been
seriously affected with a cough for
twenty-five years, and this spring
more severely than ever before.
She had used many remedies with
out relief, and being urged to try
DIR. Kings New Discovery, did so,
with most gratifying results. The
first bottle relieved her very much,
and the second bottle has absolutely
cured her. She has not had so good
health for thirty years."
