ABOUT hundred Irishmen of New York
city, formerly Democrats-all of them
have formed club to be called the Blaine
and Logan Irish Democratic Club. Such
men as Edward j. Rowe, Edward
o'Meagher Condor, Richard Murphy, ex-
Fenian leader; Colonel O'Flynn, Florence
Mccarthy, Manus o'Connor. John Walsh
and Lawrence o'Brien were present and
took part in the proceedings. This move
ment will decide the contest in the Empire
State for Blaine and Logan beyond per-
adventure.

EVERY time an English paper booms
Cleveland and Hendricks it adds to the
number of Democratic Irishmen who will
vote for Blaine and Logan. We hope the
Cleveland organs in Great Britain will keep
up an incessant fusilade until next Noyem-
ber, when they will receive an answer that
will settle their hash.

IT seems that the Cleveland men at Chi
cago banked on Tilden's hatred of Hen
dricks. .They knew that Tilden hated
Hendricks; that he believed Hendricks
only came into the old ticket more in the
hope that if it should DO elected Tilden
might die and he would become President.
The Cleveland men knew that they could
get the Tilden vote whenever Tilden saw
that there was danger of Hendricks
nomination. And when tho Hendricks
lnrrah came that settled it. Tilden's
friends went over to the ex-Sherif and
nominated him. Thus Che hatred of one
man made the nomination.
The Cleveland men intended to ignore
Hendricks altogether, but Buffers flank
movement compelled them to try to concil-
late Tammany, and they took Hendricks
for Vice-President. Thus the ex.sheriff is
tied up with q man he didn't want to
please men who didn't want him, and they
were put onR platform that nobody wanted.
And the whole caboodle will bo upset by
the people who don't want either plptfors
or candidates, =

ONE of the best evidences that could pos
sibly be found to establish the fact that the
Democratic party lies when it says it is
opposed to monopoly is found in the treat
ment of Allan G. Thurman at Chicago, not
only by the Ohio delegates but by the great
body Of tho convention, He is the recog-
nized head of the small anti-monopoly sec
tion Of his party. He is the peer of any
man in his party in point of honesty and
ability, but when his name was presented
10 the convention it sat down on him SO
hard that the resurrection horn will hardly
bring him to sight again.

CHRISTMAS.
Selected for the Democratic Aduocate,
BY MARY VERNON.

1t is Christmas Eve and the freight falls
Amid the quaint pictures that hang round the walls
While cedar wreaths, holly and beautiful pine.
Just fresh from the woodland each other entwine.
The voices of children in innocent glee
Ring thro' the old halls like some rich melody
As off to their beds in a hurry they HE,
For fear that good Santa Claus might pass them by.
Each stocking is fixed in the very best way
For the little fat man to unburden his sleigh;
0uo hangs on the mantle and two on a chair,
And one in the chimney with scrupulOus care.
There are four-we had five short twelvemonth
ago
Our Charley sleeps in the grave still and low;
No more will he need these sweet tokens oflove,
His spirit is dwelling with angels above.
So thought of a child not far from our door,
Whose mother. widow, was needy and poor
And murmered, "I'll take him the treasures long
kept
As folded each garment and silently wept
The jacket and pants, the last he had OIL
Oh the pain of my heart as I laid each one down
The shoes and the stockings my darling boy wore,
The cap and the feather looked at once more.

The wagon he trundled the last Christmas morn;
The horse and its rider the hoop and the ball
prayer from my bosom accompanied them ALL
packed for the hungry basket of food,
And went out upon my new mission fgood;
Asking the Father that His will might know,
And ever be learning that will how to do.
heard a low voice in tremulous tone
As l drew near the place singing sweetly alone:
"His saints what is fitting shall neer be denied
So long as It's written the Lord will provide"
l knocked, and woman with face wan and pale
Bowed her head as told her my motherly tale;
Then she said: 81 can trust him. whatever betide,
The promise assures me the Lord Will provide"
The morning light broke and thousand young eyes
Glanced out thro the windows and up to the skies;
And the widow poor child, with his face all aglow.

For prayed the good Father would net pass us by;
To be good boy would every day try;

He has sent us the things for which most prayed"

The Sheriff in England.

In the autumn of every year the lord
lieutenant draws up list of three candi-
dates possessing the necessary qualifications,
that is to say, large fortune and high
local standing. He forwards this list to
the Court of Exchequer, where it is pub
licly read out ON the morrow of All Saints
Day. If there he has no opposition or
valid excuse, the list is presented to the
Queen, who, without looking at it, pricks
it with a bodkin, and the person whose
name is thus pierced is nominated. This
ancient and solemn rite is called "pricking
for sherifs;' it is needless to say it is Of
Saxon origin, as is the Office Of sheriff it.

Marie Antoinette's head was cut off is now
in Nine. Tussand's exhibition in London,
1t is in the form of collar, or circle Of
iron, and will weigh twenty-five pounds
The collar is cut horizontally, each halt
containing knife or blade. When used
the upper half was allowed to fall between
two upright standards, striking the neck
which lay across the blade of the lower
half. In addition to that of the unfortu-

profit than any other establishment in the
