CRUMBS OF COMFORT.

The idea that MT. Cleveland may be Presi- dent of the United States seems to strike terror into the minds and hearts of a great many worthy people. They foresee all kinds of calamities from a complete prostration, not to say annihilation, of business, to the payment of the rebel debt and the re-enslave- ment of the negroes. Fortunately there are several crumbs of comfort for those who feel inclined to take this gloomy view of what may happen if Cleveland takes President ArthJr's place.
 Let us glance at some of the facts The President alone, even if he is Mir. Cleveland, cannot entirely upset affairs. The house of representatives just elected does not begin it's existence until March 4, 1885, and it will not meet as a Congress until the first Monday in December, 1885, unless specially assembled in extra session, and this is not likely to hap pen. That Congress will not be so danger ous to business as the existing Congress was expected to be. The present house has Democratic majority of about TO- In the nexth ouse the Democratic majority will not exceed 8 or 40. In the existing Congress the Republican majority in the senate is 4; in the next senate, having gained one in Oregon and one in California and lost one in Illinois, the senate will stand fl Republicans Gncluding Malone and Riddleberger) to 35 Democrats, a majority of six. A house with 40 Democratic majority is not so likely to make great or sudden changes as house with 70, and the latter found itself unable to pass tariff bill of any description. The senate will remain Republican for at least two years from the 4th of next March, and will serve to protect the coun- try from large part of the evils which a complete Democratic control might infict upon it. For. instance, the Democrats can not carry free trade bill this winter be cause the senate would refuse to pass it, and President Arthur would veto it. After this winter the senate will stop any such bill for two years at least, as the Republican senate will stand between the business interests of the country and the nefarious designs of the Democrats and free traders Neither will the senate allow any interference with pen sions to the Union soldiers or allow the granting of pensions to the Rebel soldiers, or the payment of claims from the South for slaves lost, or do aught to lessen the reve- nues or increase the national debt.
 It will therefore be seen that the country is in no immediate danger of ''going to the dogs" even with Cleveland in the Presiden- tial chair. And it is, moreover, possible that if he gets there he may turn out to be a pretty good President He will have a fine chance to do well for his country, his party, and himself, and he may rise to the occasion.

CIlrysanthemums.

Phil Robinson in Harper's weekly.1
 The waning year keeps to the last its best gift to our gardens, for there is no flower that blows comparable to the chrysanthemum:
 It cheers with bloom the stormy gloom
 By chill December nursed,
 That this fair flower first
 On that blest morn when Christ was born
 Into white beauty burst
 But traditions apart-and the chrysanthe- mum has many, for have not two queens worn it as their badge and emblem, and does not an emperor to-day entitle it 'tthe royal fiower?"-it is a delightful and a wonderful blossom, this darling of winter, the only flower in the garden, and yet 8 whole garden ful of flowers in itself. Spring, summer and autumn enjoy a constant succession of bou- ouets, and from the multitude of their con tending charms no single blossom can fairly call itself the chief flower of the day, or claim to wear the crown of beauty. But for winter our gardens keep only one posy, the chrysanthemum, and Flora thus dignifes it beyond all the flowers of the year by giving it the whole throne to itself:
 Symbol of hope, still banishing the gloom
 Hung OCT the mind by stern December's reign.
 A bleak reign, it is true, but then there is none to share it's sceptre with it, so the chry- santhemum queens it in solitary brllllance over empty beds Lest, though, it should seem too manifestly alone, and the eye might tire of a single flower, however beautiful, if monotonous in color, shape or size, the chry- santhemum seems forever streining to spread it's own charm over half the parterres. No lilies show so clear a white, no datfodils SC clear yellow; roses have no better plnks, and all the family of the hollyhocks and dah- Eas and many of the others-for instance, calceoIarias and zinias-cannot show t1nts and half tones in crimson and orange and tawny more decided, bright and various than the chrysanthemum alone. And, not con tent with rivalling their colors alone, It glyef the whole garden back shape for shape as well as hue for hue, and, whether as rose, { i dahIia, an aster carnation or daisy, Ii makes its pretty mimicry sufficiently exact 1 to create gratitude for its variety and to abol | ish monotony.
 l All our large-fowered varieties have beer l grown from the single Chusan chrysanthe | mum, and the delightful dwarf pompons | have in the same way been produced iron 1 the Chusan daisy A hundred years of ex perimental cultivation ~have been necessary 1 to arrive at such floral tiumphs as the Elaine l the Nil Desperandum, or the Button Helene | and viewed therefore solely as O work of art 1 the chrysanthemum is worthy of respectful | admiration: while as a work of nature tt 1 praise it seems almost impertinent.

Lord Chief Justice Coleridge in an address to the grand jury at the opening of the au- tumn assizes at Bedford, England, the other day, spoke at length on the character of the punishment which justices of the peace ire quent1y inhict. He strongly condemns the heavy sentences for trifing offenses such as pi1fering and the like, believing that such method was but manufacturing criminals in stead of correcting them. In illustration he cited case where two urchins were sent to prison for three months, with hard labor, for the paltry theft of few apples from an orchard, an offense of which, perhaps, many of the magistrates themselves were guilty when they were boys. If heavy sentences were awarded in such cases there were no others adequately severe for the far graver crimes which frequently came before judges at assizes.

Guard yourselves, oh! New Mexicans, from giving your vote to Judge Prince, if you do not wish that the fires of heaven descend on your heads. Vote, oh! vote for the Hon.

A temperance lecturer in London has given recently some curious figures in regard to the amount expended in intoxicating liquor. He estimated the annual average thus spent in the last ten years at $720,000,00O. This gives an expenditure of $6O,O00,O0O every month, of s15, GOO, 900 every week and of $25 every second, night and day There are 8, ,508, ,4s0 letters in the Bible, and if s205 was placed on every letter this would represent the annual expenditure The grain consumed by the brewers and distillers is sufficient to provide four loaves. of bread per week to every family in the United Kingdom.
