PARTED NOW.

Still breathe thy name at night, softly unto
God above;
Asking Him thy steps to keep and to shield
thee with His love.
Though this side the Great White Throne, we
shall meier clasp hands again.
Nightly at His feet kneel, praying, oft through
binding rain,
Tha. His love may guide thy way, though our
paths lie far apart
Save thee in temptations hour-gve thee
strength of mind and heart.
As softly breathe thy name in the.watches of
the night,
Come to me thoughts of the time, when we
prayed for heavenly light;
Knelt together at His feet, blessing Him that
we were one,
We who meier again must meet-till we meet
before His thronei
Though thy name l softly breathe, still the
words will meet His ear,
And We'll meet when time is past, parted now
yet once so dear!

Blaine's Rough on Hats.


Mr.. Blaine bought a new silk hat
while he was in this city, the fourth one
in less than seven weeks. The third
that was replaced was so shabby when
he reviewed the great street demonstra-
ton on Friday night, that there were
persons present who were willing to
make affidavit that it was worse look
ing than the historic and familiar old
tile which Mr.. Everts has carried ever
since the war; Mr.. Blaine has habit
of emphasizing his public remarks by
unconscious attacks upon his hat, which
he always carries before him in his left
hand, while he gesticulates with his
right, Worse yet, for his hat, he occa-
sionally uses the left hand in moments
of fervor, and then the collisions be-
tween the hat and the right hand are
much more forcible and frequent than
when he merely bangs the crown or
side as it lays in repose in an idle grasp.
He has had a habit, also, of moving
through the enormous and compact
crowds wherever he has gone with his
unfortunate hat held at his side, even
with his knee, or in front of his stomach,
and his companions on his recent jour
ney say that when he has gone into
multitude with a brand new hat held
either of these ways he has returned
with it looking as if it was century
old and had spent most of its time in a
rock crusher.

CROWDED WITH MILLIONAIRES.
The Rich DO Nothings Increasing at q
Great Rate I'm New York.

Correspondence Chicago Herald.
New York is being crowded with mil
lionairism. Five of the men so enorm-
ously enriched by Nevada mining are
here now, or have been recently. Fam
lies whose fortunes are permanently
enlarged come to the metropolis to live
luXuriously. Square miles of resi-
dences, each representing, on the aver
age yearly expenditure of S25, 900 for
maintenance, aside from whatever spec
ial and personal extravagances the in
mates may indulge in, make an aggre-
gate of capital dazzling to contemplate.
Year by year the amount of money
withdrawn from active use in business
grows immensely, and the number of
rich idlers increases proportionately.
Among all the young sons of the Astors
and Vanderbilts there is not one who
has an active pursuit save that
of pleasure, and l mention these
names because they are familiar,
and not for exceptionally. Go into
the evening resorts of time killers and
you will at every turn meet fellows who
do absolutely nothing useful from the
beginning of year to its end. They
are luC HtllS VI dliu SOhC NOihci
They are destitute of manly pride, but
full of the foolish vanities of dandyism.
Vicious, also? Naturally. Their ex
travagances in that direction are just
now remarkable. 1t has suddenly be-
come the fashion among them to keep
bachelor apartments, no matter how
adequate to all rational requirements
their family homes may be. Within two
years dozen or more magnificent
have been erected on the
French flat plan, except that no women
or kitchens are included. Suites of two
or four rooms are rented at 81 900 to
5000 per annum, usually to be lavishly |
furnished by the tenant, who is very |
often rich family's scion on his way to
the devil. A restaurant, from which the |
most elaborate meals may be ordered
for delivery in his own dining room,
enables him to entertain his friends in
IS carousing manner as he chooses;
md these guests need not be masculine,

Home.

Most Americans do not have homes;
they have merely places to stay, where
the father can read his newspaper, the
mother ply the sewing machine, and the
children make molasses candy, or have
annual birthday parties. But the idea
of heart center, where love is cher
ished, thoughts are fostered, and morals
expanded, is apparently unheard of in
their philosophy. Materfamilias goes
to church on Sunday without an idea
that she is leaving the hottest temple be-
hind her, of which she is high priestess,
and if you should dissect her brain you
would find that in the corner devoted to
necessities" the strata of clothes, cooks,
sewing girls and roast turkey. fill up all
but the smallest crevice conscientiously
set aside for religious belief and church

Returns for Presidential election do
not show decisive result, but it looks
as though Cleveland was elected. He
will probably have plurality of 10000
in New York though Republicans claim
the state.
Cleveland has carried New Jersey by
LOO and Connecticut by 5000.
Both parties claim Indiana, but
Chairman New of the Republican state
committee conceded state to Democrats
by 5000 majority.
Wisconsin is in doubt, but the Re-
publicans claim the state by 1000.
Republicans have elected seven of the
nine congressman in Wisconsin, "a gain
of four.
Republicans are thought to have. car

Of this su stance. Every gushing
school girl who sinks her white teeth
into chewing gum chews this parafine
wax. Every caramel she eats contains
this wax, and is wrapped in paper sat-
urated with the same substance. The
gloss seen upon hundreds Of varieties of
confectionery is due to the presence Of
this ingredient of petroleum, used to
give the articles a certain consistency, as
the laundress uses starch. So that a
product taken from the dirtiest, worst
smelling of tars finds its way to the
millionaire's mansion, an honored serv-
itor. 1t aids to make possible the
electric radiance that floods his rooms;
or, in the form of wax candles, sheds a
softer luster over the scene. It polishes
the floor for the feet of his guests. and
it melts in their mouths in the costliest
candies For the insulation of electric
wire, paraffine wax has to-day no sue
cessful rival, and the growth of the de-
mand for this purpose keeps pace with
the marvellous growth OF the electric
lighting system. Asingle Chicago firm
buys parat1ine way by the car load.
It's price is but half that of beeswax.
and yet the older wax yields readily to
sulpnuric or other &C d, this being a
test for the presence of beeswax in par
af1ine. The demand for paraffine for
candles as yet heads the list.
Then comes the needs of the paper
consumers. In 1877 q single firm IN
New York handled $4,000 reams Of
waxed paper. Not only for wrapping
candy is this paper valuable, but fine
cutlery, hardware, ETC., incased in
waxed paper is safe from the encroach-
ment OF rust or dampness. Fish and
butter and 2 score OF other articles are
also thus wrapped, and there seems
literally no end to the uses found for
the paper saturated with this pure hy-
drOcarbOn. In the chemist laboratory
it is invaluable as coating for articles
exposed to all manner of powerful dis
solvents; brewers find it a capital thing
for coating the interior of barrels. and
the maker of wax flowers Stimulates
nature in sheets of parat1ine. And yet,
until Drake drilled his oil we'll in 1859,
the existence in this country of this
boon to civilization was unsupported,
and it lay in the depths of Pennsylva-
MIA rocks, where thousands, possibly
millions, of years ago it was stored by
the hand OF an all-wise Creator.-Sci-
