A party of young bloods In Jamaica,
N. Y, concluded to have some fun with
a countryman who was tramping about
town looking for job. They hired
him to act as private watchman on a
dark street, promising to give him $50
for the first month and then increase
his salary if he proved efficient. The
first night nothing special happened,
but the next night he was met by .
rough looking customer who threatened
to smash his jaw if he didn't stop pa
trolling that beat. In about ono minute
the countryman was hopping up the
muddy street with the ill-mannered
aristocrat. After letting up on him he
discovered he was one OF the parties
who had employed him. A little later
a ghostly figure made its appearance,
but it wasn't long until this ghost, mi
nus its winding sheet, went lying across
an open lot, bearing black eye and
broken nose. The next day it was dis
covered that it was ano.ler member of
the gang who hired the man to have
fun with. He refused to quit bis job

mothers sake the children tended him
dutifully. One night he stretched out

UNWRITTEN RHYMES.

A dozen times day or more
A little foot comes to my door,
And tho bid, come in" "stay out"

With eyes as blae as gentian bells,
And checks as pink as sea-loved shells.
And hair that strays where ere II lists,
And hands with dimplcs kissed snt kissed.
see-and countless cunning baby charms,
And then my queen is In my arms.
They fall so fast / cannot speak,
The kisses on my eyes and check,
And tangled hair weayes In the brown,
And dirDpied hands hide smile or frown'
And then with hug and kiss the last.
And tribute paid for service asked,
i stop to tie q wanton shoe,
Or yexfng knot in string undo,
Or braid strand OF struggling hair,
To save my lady from despair;
Put here and there pin or two.
To make a rent as good as new;
OR kiss hurt on hand or face,
Or brush away trouble trace;
Or find her Adam for his Ark
Bent doubtless!y upon lark;
Or tell "Bo Peep or ''Ninbe Dick"
Or Witch Who Rode Bramblc Stick
Or mend wheel in some old shay,
That days ago had seen its day;
Or rock her "Simple Simon" lad,
twho when he's bal is very bad);
Or do hundred things and one,
That never "etay" when they are DONE
And then she's down and of again,
And'l take up my waiting pen.
But o my thoughts, where have you flown?
And my rhymes, where have you gone?
And where my plan, and where my plot;
That so Giligent had wrought?
And where my hero where my maid?
And cunning scheme so deftly laid?
They're gone-and tho my ink-wet pen
Is waiting for those maids and men
To render their account to me,
only see, and sce and see
My little girl within the door,
And hear her foot fall on the floor.
And be II thus; my cailow rhyme,
And hating verse, half out of time,
The world will never want or miss,
And Ignorance shall be its bliss,
And other men with happier way
Will say the thoughts tried to say;
And other lips with songs will ring
What could feel, but could not sing.
But tho the world stood still as night,
To hear the verses might write.
An tho my songs should always live,
would not give Il would not give
For all OF this aud Kingdoms more,
The joy feel when at the door
The little face love see,
whose face is paradise to me.

..1'he GRIND Ola Party.r

The Republican party has called r.
self the ssGrand Old Party" 1t de-
serves the title! lis early leaders were
as grand liz love OF Liberty as the modern
leaders are grand in love of Larceny.
1t was once grand in its Freeaom-it Is
now grand in its Frauds! 1t was grand
in its Lincoln, in its Sumner and its
Gerrit Smith--it is now grand in its
Arthur. its Kellogg. Its Keifer. its Dor
sey its Bliss, its Bill Chandler and its
Johnny O'Br.en.
Il is no petty theft to steal Presi-
dency. There is grandeur of crime
in the purchase of Presidential cleo
ton; in the sale of Supreme Court
Judgeship; in the stealing of millions
of dollars through Star-route frauds; in
the corrupt surrender of millions OF
acres of public lands to railroad corpor-
atoms; in Whisky Rings reaching into
the Executive Chamber; in Post-trader
frauds involving Cabinet Ministers; in
Credit MobiIier bribery embracing Sem
ators and Congressman, and in tho bold
official protection of public robbers!
There is no petit larceny about the
enormous fees drawn from the Treasury
under cover of the bogus S.ar-routc
prosecutions!
The question now is whether the
magnificent crimes of the Grand Old
Party shall be condoned, or be punished
by the Punishment of their perpetrators
from power. Are men who have stolen
one Presidential term and boastingly
purchased another to be allowed third
time to defy the will of the people by
refusing to permit an honest election. q
fair count and the inauguration of the
successful candidate? Are robberies of
the Star-route character to be repeated
and the criminals to be protected? Are
political lawyers and pet Congressman
to continue to deplete the Treasury
through extravagant fees as Govern
ment counsel and to receive pay at the
same time for settling" cases adverse
ly to the Governments interests? Are
we still to have corrupt legislation fer
favored corporations and monopolies
and against the rights and interests of
the people?
These are the questions to be decided
within the next six months. II depends
upon the Democratic party to say how
they shall be answered. Only through
Democratic President can the country
be saved from misrulc. Only through
. Democratic Administration can the
Government be brought back to the
landmarks of honesty, purity and econ
omy. Only through Democratic blind
ness and folly can the people be induced
to condone the crimes of Republicanism
and continue corrupt and dangerous
party in power.
Before the country makes up its mind
to rid itself of the Grand Old Party it
will demand to be satisfied that the
Democracy is united and harmonious in
favor Of effective administrative reform
and q strong American policy. The
people want honest Legislation. honest
elections, pure Judiciary, the pro.ec-
ton and elevation of labor the proper
restriction of corporate power, reduced
taxation. economy and simplicity in adj
ministration and assured punishment
for Official crime. II the candidates
and harmony of the Democratic party
assure these reforms, the days of Re-
publicanism win be numbered.-M Y.

An Extraordinary Spectacle.

The Republican camp in the United
States is, at this moment, the theater
of an extraordinary spectacle. The
day is rapidly approaching when Re-
publican candidate for President is to
be presented TO the country, and the
party is busy choosing the delegates
who are to choose that candidate; and
the adherents of the three most con-
spicuous solicitors of the high honor are
zealously struggling to secure delegates
pledged to their respective chiefs. But
in the midst of this exciting work come
menacing movements against these
three aspirants. The ablest Republican
paper in New York sounds note OF
warning, and tells the party that neither
Mr.. Arthur nor Mr.. Blaine should be
nominated. for neither can be or ought
to be elected. One is supported and
will be nominated, If at all. by the
exertions of very disrepusable lot of
hack politicians, without principle,
without scruple, who work for their
personal advancement and expect to be
paid with Office or patronage if he is
elected" the other ''is surrounded BY
one of the most desperate gangs OF adj
venturers this country has seen since
the days of Aaron Burr
And along with this warning we see
conferences of leading Republicans Of
Pennsylvania and New York at New
York City to consult 90 on the advisa-
bility of making public declaration
that they will not, under any circum-
stances, accept Arthur, Logan or Blaine
as candidate for the Presidency"
These three men are the most promi-
nent and active candidates for the NOM
ination, and they are chiefs in the
party. One is President of the United
States; second is . member of the
Senate and leader of his party in nli-
nois; the third has been Speaker Of the
House, Senator and Secretary of State.
and is declared by his friends to be the
most popular man in the party. Yet
the party is warned that it must set all
three aside because neither Of them
ought to be elected; two OF them are
offensive on personal grounds, and
the third is unsafe for grave public
reasons.
Let it be observed that this Repub-
lican objection to President Arthur.
Senator Logan and Mr. Blaine is, not
that it will be difficult and perhaps i'm
possible to elect either Of them, but that
neither of them ought to te elected;
that there are high and strong public
reasons why either of them, II nomi-
mated. ought to be defeated by Repub-
lican votes.
1t may be asserted that such .
spectacle as this was never seen in the
country before, Of three thiefs of the
dominant party, and the only candi-
dates for the nomination, thus openly
denounced by powerful and respectable
bodies in his own camp, as unfit for the
honor which they alone covet. 81.

YOUNG MEN TO THE FRONT.
A Correspondent of the Milwaukee Sunday Tele.
graph Reviews the Situation In the
Srd District.

MINERAL POINT, Aug. The recent
article in the Milwaukee Sentinel advocat-
ing the nomination of young La Toilette
for congress affords no small amount
of amusement to the people hereabouts.
MIR. La Toilette no doubt is very fine
young man, but he is too inexperience
for such honors. If it is necessary to
take a young man, we have scores of
them in this district who are better
fitted for congressman than he is. We
have in this city Phil. Allen, Jr., some-
thing over 80, who is well acquainted
with the wants of the district, man
of good heart, habits and brain. He
would make very popular candidate
Then there is Judge George Clement
son, of Lancaster, about 80 years of
age, polished gentleman, scholar,
and lawyer and iurist with an estab-
lished reputation. He would make an
elegant congressman. Ex-senator
Joseph b. Treat, of Monroe, is BY no
means an old man, and he has had
experience in public life. Up at Madi-
son is one of the most remarkable
young republicans in the state. He is
a college graduate, has been connected
with leading papers, has written two
or three books, seems to know every
body, understand the political history
of the country, is the most persistent
worker ever saw; and besides that he
is an original Blaine man, which ii is
well TO take into account in selecting
tho candidate. The district don't want
TO send man to congress who will not
heartily support the incoming Presi-
dent. / am speaking of Hon. Frank a.
Flower, the state statisitician. He is
about thirty, a good speaker and a
campaigner of note. There is an inn
preston here that there is a good sized
rat under the Sentinel's bag of young
man meal.
