THE FAIRY.S MISTAKE.

A rowing child
Once fell asleep within fairies ring;
1t was in June when many a viewless thing
Has breath and motion in the breezes mild
When every leaf conceals f1utterng wing,
Andat their blossom-work the thronging fairies
sing
The startled fays,
Suddenly hindered in their sweet employ,
Circled around the fair unconscious boy,
With quick resentment in their sparkling gaze
Yet now, within their ring, one boon Of joy
They must bestow, a gift without alloy.
Then each in turn
Spoke hastily, her largess to deny;
Wealth, Beatty, Power and Pomp unkindly cry
"For our rich bounty vainly shall he yearn p
Love plying looked, but sadly passed him by
Poor infant in his sleep he stirred and breath
ed sigh.
At last the queen
Bent DER his fragrant locks and fingered long
To see how rosily he slept among
The wrathful fairies, helpless but serene.
''Wake, child - she said, 81 would not do thee
wrong,
Yet can only grant the simple gift of song.''
o, queen unwise
Inviting of the mischief thou hast done.
NJ finer charm was yet by fairies spun,
Opening all treasures to his Weakening eyes.
What good is hid from him. beneath the sun,
w no in this magic power the world itself has
won

TPorttand Advertiser (Independent.) I

The result Of the caucuses last evening
shows that the republicans of Portland,
by very large majority, have chosen Mr..
NJ. F. King as their candidate for mayor.
Boy and man, Mr.. King has lived in Portland
for forty years and is respected by all Who
know him. He represented Ward 5 in the COM
mon council in 1868 and in the board Of alder
men in 1871 and 1872. In 1882 he was re-elect-
ed to the board of aldermen. He proved him.
self faithful public servant. and if he should
be elected mayor would enter upon that Office
with the advantage of q thorough acquain-
lance With the city business. 1t is further
more to be set down to his credit that he has
not sought the nomination which has now
come to him and consequently has no politi-
cal debts to pay.

Divorce Scandals in France

The Senate has passed y bill pro.

puerile to try divorce cases behind

ger"us, because the prohibition
proposed by the Senate will leave

When a couple seek q separation on

In Toulon was of the genuine Asiatic
type and would necessarily spread,
no doubt could longer be entertained
on this question. The spread has
begun and already assumed alarm
ing proportions. While there may
be no need of sharing the alarm of
Europe in this country, the fact
should not be disguised that the cpl

Mi. KELLEY.

The Omaha Herald, generally cor
rect in its political predictions and
measurement of prominent men, has
the following to say concerning the
great Tammsny chief:
John Kelley knows his big bust
ness. He made a bold and . terrible
fight against odds, and q record that
has weakened him very much with
the national Democra y, but John
Kelley is a power, and he is, after all,
q Democrat who will no more think
Of opposing or boiling Governor
Cleveland in this campaign than he
will of throwing himself into the
North river.
MI. Kelley fights hard. He says
intemprrate things in his haste that
are false, half convinced that they
are true. John Kelley is q gentle
man and q nan of fine feeling and
warm heart. His ability for force
and will and resolution, guided by a
clear head, Is known to those who
encounter him in his own New York
field. In the hour of defta at Chi
cago he did not come up to the stand
ard which we had laid down for him
by declaring his support for the
nominee, but he was in the high
council of weed, Manning, Waiter
son, Scott and Herman as to what it
was best to do in the Vice-P1esident
and before he left Chicago he warned
ever, body not to accept the declara>
ton of disappointed Tammany men
as coming from him.
AS we long since said it would be,
John Kelley will be at the he head

York fighting for Cleveland. Hem

the Importance OF the protection of

of a friendly union between the states

Tended as the policy of peace and hui
