Gould's employ" But the Consti.
tuition assures its readers that the
people of New York "will take care
not only of their election returns,
but of the thieves and scoundrels
who are plotting to precipitate an
era of confusion and oistrust."
After having given expression to
these charitable opinions, the Con-
stitution devotes an article to Thos.
A. Hendricks, of Indiana, whom it
considers one of the most conspicu-
Gus figures of modern politics Mr..
Hendricks is the sort of statesman
it admires. 1t speaks of his "grand
intellect" and it credits him with
having been effective, beyond all
others, in securing the success of the
pure, honest, upright, patriotic and
glorious old Democratic party. 1t
says that Hendricks gave the key
note to the camp4ign, and pitched it
to such height OF honesty and pa
triotism that none of his opponents
could successfully follow him!"
When men like Hendricks are the
ideals of patriotism, honesty and
grandeur of intellect, we shall not
greatly object to being classed with
"the scoundrels and thieves" We
are al all events content to await the
verdict of impartial history upon the
achievements and the character of
the Republican party, from it's be-
ginning to the present time, as con
trasted with those of the party of
which Hendricks is representative
member MiIacdukee Sentinel.

The Summer Hotel Widow.

If anyone who has travelled much in
the summer has encountered fashion
able summer resort hotel without its wild
ow it is very exceptional. The widow
is inevitable TO the surroundings. she
is always interesting, generally has
fine eyes and dresses well and wears
diamonds. But it is her manner as
rule, that is most attractive. In nine
cases out of ten she has little girl
whose early retirement to the arms OF
Morpheus is her greatest anxiety. or
rather one of her greatest, for she seems
anxious when left alone even after re-
lieved of this annoyance. Her man
ncr is usually brilliant and ELUSIVE and
almost always insures her the notice
and attention OF gentlemen. She does
things, as 4 matter of course, that the
young unmarried ladies are forbidden
by their mothers to do, and the moth
ers have hard time explaining to the
daughters why what is right for the
widows is wrong for them. The moth
ers very often take revenge by mis-
representing the widow and telling
their daughters to have nothing to do
with hen. But the widow has a good
time and very often the unmarried girls
don't Still, according 10 her own
standards. she keeps within bounds,
and no matter how hardly pressed is
generally mistress Of the situation.
This is the gay young widow. Oh course
there are others who are saints In de-
pertinent Philadelphia Times.

German legends.

Though Germany has been more fully
explored in this direction than almost
any other country, it still possesses pc
culiar attractions for the collector. The
peasantry in the center and the sosth
are more easy of access than English
farm laborers, and their minds are
more richly stored with the wisdom
and foolishness of the past Not that
they are more superstitious; the ancient
rite has become mere game and The
charm n jest; the old story is oftener
told than not with an incredulous
smile; but even the middle aged are
not afraid that you will laugh at them
for talking about such matters, and the
aged love to dwell upon them, together
with the other memories of their youth.
Every district. too, has its own pecu-
liar character. In East Friesland the
legends are dark. stern, at times tragic;
even when heather in their origin they
have been remodeled by the spirit of a
firm Protestant faith. In Central Ger
many they are brighter and more hui
morous. occasionally more grotesque;
the deepest note they touch is q certain
pcnsive tenderness. and hardly trace
of conscious Christianity is to be found
among them, though here and there in
the memory of n saint now forgotten in
the district may be found strange
combination with other materials. In
the Austrian Alps, again, they are more
graceful. imaginative. pathetic, and al
most invariably strongly colored by
Catholicism. Thus the Frau Berchta
or Frau Hohle of other districts here
becomes the wife of PLATE, to whom
popular fancy has assigned sad but
not ignoble fate in the other world. AS
she confessed the truth and yet was
not baptised, her spirit is doomed to
wander through the earth until the
Judgment day, and 10 her the souls of
all un baptized children are gathered.
Summer nights she leads them through
the corn and the flax fields, where they
pick off the widowed ears and harm
ful insects, and bear them away in their
little pitchers; but in winter particu-
larly about Christmas time, the strange
procession will sometimes pass through
Il village in which an inconsolate mo-
Their dwells, and then n little hand will
tap at the window, and when the
mourner looks out she will see her
child, no longer the baby they carried
to the churchvard six months ago, but
n bright little thing who, if it had n
living body, one would take to be three
or four wears old. Yet she knows at
once that it is her own, and it SAYS:
Mother you must stop crying; all your
tears fall into my pitcher; it has grown
so heavy that can hardly carry it, and
they drip down on my clothes and
make them so cold and cumbersome
that | can scarcely keep up with the
rest. If the mother chances down the
street she will see a form so bright
''that you might have taken it for Our
Lady's, " with throng of little chill
dren crowding around her, cas- il they
loved her. - Saturday RerietC.
