be derived from the daily practice of
kindness on the farm If they have
not, it is full time they were giving it

Kindness it is so light, so easily

stow on man or beast and it is real
pleasure to bestow it. 1t leaves such

cipient always meets you with pleas

article of barter is so pleasant.sog grand,

mines of gold.
In the morning when 60 out, the
first TO greet me is my dog. He
comes for his good morning, Spot, and
a few pats on the head, than he is my
companion on my stroll about the
farm. The next to meet me are the
chickens they hold regular jubilee,
and we form a procession and march
to the barn. At the gate | find the
cows with their kindly ba'a. They
too march with the crowd and when
the crib is reached a small nubbin

their greeting. A few kind words to

THE MAN who received the greatest ova.
ton ut Chicago was, as Mr.. Phelps calls
him, 1.-THE little Napoleon of readjustment.'
And it was the same man who, at the Blaine
and Logan ratification meeting in Wash
ington last Thursday night, shared with
the negroes Douglas, Smalls and O'Hara
the chief applause that was won by the
speakers on that occasion. And yet the
republican party once assumed to be, not
only tho "grand old party" but the "higb
moral party OF the country" To save itself
from contemptuous ridicule it abandoned
all such pretenses after it coalesced with
Malone in Virginia, with the whiskey men
in North Carolina, and with the greenback-
ers in West Virginia, and its nomination oil
a man for President with such character
as that of Mr. Blaine shows that it has
thrown off all DISCUSSES and come out in its
true colors of bribery and corruption. The
whole party has adopted Mr.. Sherman's
formula "that any thing is justiiable in law
and morals that will beat down the demo
cratic party"-and thereby prolong the
power of the corrupt republican party.

THE GARRISON FA1LURE.-Cornelius K.
Garrison, the veteran financier OF New YORK,
has made an assignment. His preferences
are stated to be sG31 800. The amount in
volved by the failure is about $5,ooo'ooo;;
The assignment is made because of financial
embarrassment It was forced upon Mr..
Garrison by the protest of notes under his
endorsement. He is heavy holder OF Sc
curties, and so much of his wealth is tied
up in these, which are almost unmark etable
at present, that he could not meet his la
billies. The assignment is simply for the
benefit of his creditors A prominent bank
er on Wall street yesterday said: "Ihe Ell
feet of the failure will naturally unsettle
things, and, in fact, stocks cannot go any
lower without hurting some one. think
the failure rather good thing than other,
wise, for it will distribute large amount OF
money among many different people"

laid before the Senate sundry bills from the
House of Representatives. Among these
was the bill amending the Thurman act
relating to the Pacific railroads.

Immediately after the reading of the
Journal, Mr.. Stockslager, of Indiana, moved
that the House 60 into Committee of the
Whole for the further consideration of bills
for the erection of public buildings. This
was opposed by members having in charge
other special orders, but the bulk of the
opposition came from the friends of what is
known as the internal revenue bill, and
under the leadership of Mr.. Tucker, of
Virginia, succeeded in defeating Mr.. Stock
slager's motion by vote of-yeas IS, nays
119.
At the conclusion Of the morning hour,
during which no reports Of any importance
were submitted, Mr.. Tucker moved that
the House 60 into Committee of the Whole
for the consideration of bills raising revenue.

The REPUBLICANS of the U. s. Senate
yesterday confirmed the appointment of a
democratic scalawag as postmaster at Ports
mouth, though to give him the place true
and consistent republican and Union SOL
der was removed, at the instance of General
Malone. and though the removal was made
against the earnest protest not only of the
Virginia republicans, but Of the Grand Army
of the Republic, and though the deposed
man was q popular and efficient officer.
There never were people treated so badly as
the Virginia republicans have been and are
by the national party to which they belong.
It really seems as if the national republican
party is tired of Virginia republicans and
wants to drive them into the democratic
ranks. 1t need not be surprising if the re-
suit of next November's election shows that
its efforts have not been in vain.

1T Is rumored that some OF the Virginia
delegates to the national democratic conven
ton, while, like all the others, favorably dis
posed toward Governor Cleveland as the pro
posed nominee of that convention, decline
to express their preference for him until
they find out that he is the undoubted choice
of the democrats of his own State, as they
very naturally think it is but right that the
democracy of the State upon which proba-
bly, depends the result Of the election should
select the nominee, if it be that he is to
come from that State. The gentlemen re-
ferred to need be restrained no longer by
such proper Influences from expressing their
preference for Governor Cleveland for those
who are best Informed about the Governors
political affairs are just as sure that he will
receive the solid vote of New York at Chi
cago as that he was elected Governor of his
State by nearly two hundred Thousand ma
jority.

SOME or those whose interests and pre-
iudices induce them to hope for republican
success next fall, predict that the Iammahy
democrats will not be true to their party.
There is nothing tangible upon whlcn such
q nrediction is based. Until now, for some
time past, though Tammany's voting
strength was acknowledged, the organlza-
ton has been looked upon as sort of out
eide party. and been admitted with reduced
representation, or upon su1erancc, to demo-
cratic conventions. Under such circum-
stances it is not surprising that it has &C.
casionally acted Independently of the po-
litical party to which it belongs. But all
this has now been changed. At Saratoga
Tammany's strength had it's legitimate
recognition, aud it was allowed its full rep
resentation in all the branches of the party s
organization. The party's success has now
again become its own success, and in striv-
ing for Tammany victory it must strive
for that of the national party of which it is
a part. But, besides all this, Governor
Cleveland has the assurance of Mr.. Kelly
that if a majority of the New York dele
gates to the national convention be Cleve-
land men, the delegation will be unit for
him, 80 far as Tammany is concerned, and
that if he be the nominee of the national
convention, his most devoted friend will not
work harder for his election than the Tam,
MANY democrats.

GENERAL MALONE, according to his
Washington morning organ, "thinks that
Blaine and Logan will carry Virginia" But
then the General thought, OF. rather said he
did, and induced some of his dupes to bet,
that his Hancock ticket would carry Vir-
ginia by thirty thousand majority. He also
said he thought he would have majority
in the present Legislature. What the Gen.
eral Gays he thinks of fooling Northern
people about his political strength in Vir-
einia Is doubtless Of some account to him
self, but what he thinks, or says hedoes, of
the probable result of elections in Virginia
Is of no conceivable importance to any one
