A study.

a low, red farmhouse half way down the slope,
Gay and pink clover set in riotous grass
Hers-on her knees half-twned daisy rope
A shy child glances up to see you pass.
Beyond the nook where she sits, nested low,
A meadow, daisy-sprinkled, stretches far;
Across it what sweet wind-waves comes and gol
Beyond it what dark depths of woodland are!
Fringed this nearest side by alder boughs,
Whose sweet white blossomng toss is like seafoam
Here hath my Lady Wren her dainty house
Fairer than lace hung palace her small home.
The place is full of secrets Hist! the voice
Of whispering waters, stealing green and cool
'Twixt curtaiung trees; there is no other noise,
Save slow murmur from yon half-hid pool.

At Naples.

The demonstration city lay
In the deadliest heat of the year,
In horror of reeking filth
And horror of frenzied fear
While crowding the city's gates
Were the fleeing and furnishing train.
TIL the dead lay piled in the streets.
And all help of man seemed vain.
But into the deadly glare,
And the fatal face of the sun,
King Humbert rode che day;
He rode with train OF one.
The archbishop stood alone
By his side in that street of death,
And the lazzaroni famed
The church and state in breath.
And the sorrowing city rose
From its superstitious dread.
And an army of helpers came
With the king and priest at its head.
And though the pestilence rage,
And death may still have its day,
Yet the spirit of priest and king
VIII hold even death at bay.
o. king of an ancient line,
You were crowned one day in our view,
But to-day, before all the world,
The nation crowns you anew.
The pomp of the whole world fades,
And a man is but king for day,
But the light of splendid deed
VIII not dim in heavens perfect day.

THE FLOWER MISSION FAIR.
The Opening Entertainment Last Night-A
Large Crowd and Creditable Display.

Everything that feminine taste and ingenuity
could suggest has been done to transform the
auditorium of English's Opera-house into a fan
tastic representation of "Wonderand,' what
ever that may be. At least that is the name by
which the annual fair of the Flower Mission is
designated this year, and at the opening last
night the ladies who had the arrangements in
charge received many compliments on the re
suits of their work. A platform has been built
over the stage and orchestra, and around the
outer confines Of this are arranged booths, elabo-
rately and brilliantly decorated, in which are
displayed hundreds of fancy and useful
articles for sale. Prominent young ladies of the
city, picturesquely arrayed in costumes
representing various natiOnalitieS and designs,
are the attendants, and scores of Chinese Ian
terms, various Japanese decorations, pictures,
flowers and evergreens make a very striking en-
semble. On display IS almost everything in the
way of fancy work that has yet been devised,
while those whose desires are in the way of
sweetened temporal refreshments, can be quickly
accomn odated. The fair is doubtless the best
conceived and arranged the ladies have yet
given, and it should be literally patronized dur
ing the week.
Last mis- hit the attendance was very good, STA
being taken in fer admission tickets alone,
while q considerable sum was realized from
the sale of goods. Excellent music was fur
nished by the When military band, under the
direction of Mr.. Cameron. The formal enter
tainment Of the evening was the performance of
the three-act comedetta 1.-The Little Treasure"
in which Miss Maude Stuart had an opportunity,
of which she availed herself, to do some clever
and graceful acting, while the other parts were
creditably ISSUED by Mr.. Sam Carey, Mr.. J. H.
Morgan, Mr.. Harry NJ. Baldwin, Mr.. James
feathers. Miss Helen Mckinney and Mrs.
Enrique Miller, the entertainment being given
under the direction of the last named lady.
The programme for tonight is "The Pied
Piper of Hamelin," under the direction Of Mrs.
James Lodge, who has arranged the entertain
ment in a series of beautiful tableaux and panto-
mines. 1t will be followed by the
Sleigh Bells Symphony" in charge of Miss
Mary Landers, and under the direction
of Emil Wulschner. The same programme will
be repeated Saturday afternoon, and o-morrow

Settled by National Authority

SALTILLo, Mexico, Dec. 16.-Yesterday, by
order of the national government, General Ger
vantes, commanding the military department
composed of the States of Durango, Chihuahua,
Coahuila,~ Tampaulie and Nuevo Leon, was in
augurated Governor pro tenn of the State of
Coahuila, to continue in Office until a new State
election can be held, some three or four
months hence. This not only settles
the dispute between the contending Governors,
security to the State, for neither party has the
temerity or inclination to oppose the federal
authority. Governor Ceryantes would permit
no public inaugural display, and declined several
~proffered serenade5. He has ordered all drink
ing houses closed at 10 o'clock at night, and the
immediate arrest of any one found intoxicated.
Harmony and confidence is established, and
all fear of revolution has already become a thing
of the past.

The DAILY JOURNAL.

The indianapolis Journal is better equipped
than ever in its history to serve the public.
With a fine mechanical outfit, not excelled
anywhere, the topographic appearance and
arrangement of the paper will maintain for
the Journal the deserved reputation Of being
one of the best printed papers in the country.
Our arrangements for the collection of news
from all parts of the world were never so COM
plete, never involved so large an outlay of
money, while in all departments the paper is
served with experienced and intelligent direc-
ton. The Journal is, first, a Newspaper. 1t
will give all the news of the day, from every
quarter, with ~fullness, entire fairness, and so
edited as to make its columns free from i'm.
p~urities and allow them at all times to be read
with perfect safety by every member Of the
family. The Journal is a Republican paper,
believing in the principles and general policy
of the Republican party; but it recognizes
that in the work of parties there are and viii
be wrongs, possibly frauds and corruptions.
These the journal proposes to be perfectly free
to %criticise and to condemn without stint, but
in spirit and with a purpose for good, having
a proper regard for personal rights and reputa-
tons. And the right to make this criticism
will be asserted and maintained without detri-
ment to the political character and standing of
the paper. With no desire to be captious or
fault-fuding, in the interest of the people and
of The party, believing that the great glory of
republieauism is that it permits freedom of
thought ana liberty Of expression, the Journal
will endeavor, in its editorial comment and con-
duct, to keep the Republican party the agency
through which and by which the best thought
of the people may find expression and the
highest purpose OF the people be executed.
Other than this, and less than this, will meet
its most vigorous opposition, We hope to
make the Journal the exponent Of the highest
and best, thoroughly sincere and earnest in
whatever it says and does; a paper of the
people and for tho people, as welcome to one
class as to another expecting a continuance
of generous confidence and support by the
people. Subscribe at once.

MUNCIE, Dec. 16.-The true nature of Democ-
racy is shown by the action of these people at
Yorktown, since the election. They have or
gained themselves into kind of secret society,
and hold weekly meetings under locked doors.
Just what the nature of their deliberations is
is not fully known, but SO much has been
learned as to make it certain that one object of
the organization is to take such action as will
prohibit the members, loyal to the party,
from having in future any transactions
of a business character with Repub-
lcans. They have gone so far as to
adopt a resolution to boycott all Republicans, to
not trade with them, to neither employ or be in
any way employed by them. The township is
pretty evenly divided politically, though the bust
ness men of the place are largely Republican,
hence the schemes is intended to inure to the bene-
fit of Democratic merchants, which will be the
result if the organization can be made sufficiently
influential and far-reaching. So far it has caused
considerable excitement, i'll feeling and comment
in the vicinity. Republicans are, however, pur-
suing the even tenor of their way, preferring to
let time show the nonsense Of such unnelghborly
conduct. If persisted in, the Democrats may
learn that theirs is a game at which two can
