EDITOR CHIEF:
The holidays are over and the world jogs
on i'll the same old grooves. New Years
day, in point of weather, was excessively
dull. A raw East wind, a drizzling rain
and muddy streets made one appreciate
the velvety rugs and cheering fresides of
home. There were fewer New Year calls
made than ever before. The charming
custom of calling in person and rendering
good wishes on New Years day originated
in the very best Of Partisan society. It
was copied by Americans, carried to an OK
treme and now is about to die out entirely.
Fashion, in an arbitrary mood, has de-
cided against it. OF course in its extreme
observance the custom has been abused.
Young men yielded too often to the tempta-
ton to drink wine and there was too much
parade, extravaganza and rivalry among
the ladies, but the idea in its native sim
plicity is good one and likely to foster
and friendship.
Hundreds of young men employed in
stores and factories, who used to delight in
donning the regulation full dress. and
rushing from one gas-ighted parlor to
just to get glimpse of the lovely
girls, attired in the most elaborate and be-
toilettes, con ent themselves now
With belonging to social clubs and taking
their pleasure in the streets. Surely, such
a change of custom is not an improvement.
Ii the temptation to drink was great in the
private parlor, it is greater in social club.
New Year clubs were out in full force
New Years eve, masked and in costume.
Formerly there was SO much lawless con-
duct on the part of maskers that Mayor
King issued an order that no one should
appear on the street in costume or as
member of club organizations without a
special permit from the Chief of Police,
md a promise to keep the peace.
There were about 800 applicants at the
Chiefs Office. Permits were granted to 204
separate organizations, each one number
ng from twenty to one hundred persons.
The names OF some of them were very
amusing. There were the Young Growers.

Senator Dwight NJ. Sabin.
CHAIRMAN OF THE REPUBLICAN,
NATIONAL COMMITTEE.
Another Man Who May be Struck by Pres
identia1 lightning.


From Our Washington Correspondent.
Dwight May Sabin came into this world
April Is, 1843, at Manlius, Lasalle county,
Illinois, and not in Connecticut as many
papers have stated. His father was far
mer on large scale in Illinois when
Dwight was born, and the son grew up on
the farm, hard worker during the crop
seasons and a close student at the country
school during the winter months. He was
not satisfied with the range of studies
taught, and devoted his evenings at home to
the masteryof the higher branches of math-
ematics and civil engineering. After his
fathers death the son located in Saltwater,
Minnesota, in 1867, he then being about %
years of age. He began dealing in lumber
on limited scale and capital, but so sue
gradually increased and grew to large pro-
portions, SO that at the present time, after
fifteen years, he is doing business of over
$10,00O,0OO annually: Besides being the
OWueT VI Il ldFBo uuulDor VI uulllS Ill Lie
pineries, he is the heaviest stockholder in
the Northwestern Car Company of his State
and enjoys an annual income from the
profits of his various enterprises Of nearly
$2,50o,OOO.
Mr.. Sabin in ,.early life became iden-
titled with politics in Minnesota, and was
elected representative three terms to the
State Legislature and two terms to the
State Senate.
He has been for several years member
of the Republican National Committee for
and was also delegate to
the Republican National Conventions of
1872, 1876, and 1880 respectively. He was
elected chairman of the Republican Ma
tional Committee Dec. II, 1885, by unani-
nous vote, and since that honor has been
conferred, Mr.. Sabin's availability as a can
didate for the nomination for the Pres
idency at the convention in Chicago next
June is being advocated by large number
Of papers.
Mr.. Sabin was elected to the United
States Senate to succeed William Window,
and took his seat March 8, 1883, his term
expiring March 4, 1889. He,is little over
10 years of age, and reputed to be worth
10000, 900.

To Repair Damages.

Dear lady, there is probably no use telling you
that fashionable life III great city is a rough
one on your beauty. Late hours loss Of sleep
and mental excitement will leave you by and BY
shorn of those beautiful tresses which drew
lovers around you IN other years. Artificial
glossy locks. Parker's Hair Balsam will stop
your hair from falling out restore its natural
color and softness, and prove cleansing and
beneficial to the scalp.

Ten CENTS AND ArMORAL.
Here is silver dime, my son;
Looks like lead it is blackened so;
Not a bit like the shining one
l dropped in my pocket weekiego.
Dlngy! Yes. Don't you think it strange
1t should lose its sheen in SO short time?
Would you like to know how came this change
For the worse to a brand-neW silver dime?
The cause is simple and easily told.
Bnt lay it to heart, o son of mine!
See If it does not a moral hold
For bright. brave boy with wish to shine.
draw from my pocket q copper cent
See, there is the secret; the silver dime,
Dropped in this pocket by accident,
Has rubbed against copper, all this time.
And the cent is never q whit more white
Nor improved at all by its company
While the silver dime comes out less bright.
And Its value is questioned, as you see.
Now the moralf ffor boys is very clear.
You see it. my son? Well, lay it to heart
And see, l drop the silvershere,
And the copper.there; let them be apart.
THE BOYS soL1LooUY.
Oh yes, the moral is clear as day,
Buts1 thoug ght was going to get that dime;
He gives me the moral-thats dads way
And pockets the money every time.

HER MAJESTY.

She wears a royal, golden crown.
Oursittle, laughing. shy-faced queen;
The clust' rlngicurls o'er eyes offbrown
Are bright as summer starlight's sheen.
She sways scepter DER us all,
: And we obey each proud command;
For we are held in slavery's thrall
BY that imperial, dimpled hand.
Her robes of state are pure as snow,
In every heart she finds throne.
In all the land she has no foe;
The name of rebel is unknown.
Her loyal subjects low and high,
-. Full many a costly tribute bring;
The glories of her kingdom, I,
Her humble poet-laureate, sing.
Around my neck her soft arms twine,
My song is smothered in her curls;
her sweet, fresh lips are pressed to mine.
Oh, Baby--little queen Of girls!

SONGS NEVER SUNG.

show does that verse run? Something like
this, isn't IL?
There are who touch the magic string.
And noisy FINE is proud to win them;
Alas! for hose who ever sing.
But die with all their music in them"
"Yes, that's beautiful, pathetic and true"
said your representative. .The poet alludes to
people who are somehow suppressed, and never
get their full allowance Of joy and air. Which
reminds me Of a letter shown me the other day
by HIsCox Il Co., Of New York, signed by Mr..
H.. G. Williams, Of Chapman, Snyder 4 Co.,
Pa, a prominent business man OF that place.
He writes:
81 have suffered with asthma for over forty
years. and had q terrible attack in December
and January, 1882. l hardly know what
prompted me to take PARKER'S Tonic. I did
so, and the first day I too four doses. The
effect ~astonished me. That night l slept as il
nothing was the matter with me, and have
ever since. l have had colds since, but no
asthma. Ny breathing Is now as perfect as If
/ had never known that disease. II you know
of any one who has the asthma tell him in my
name that PARKER's Tonic will cure it-even
after forty years." There was a man who es-
capped the fate of those whom the poet laments.
This preparation, which has heretofore been
known as PARKER's GINGER Tonic, will here
after be advertised and sold under the name Of
PARKER's Tonic. Inasmuch as ginger is really
an unimportant ingredient, and unprincipled
dealers are constantly deceiving their customers
by substituting inferior preparations under the
name OF ginger. we drop the misleading word.
There is no change, however, In the prppara-
ton itself, and all bottles remaining in the
hands OF dealers, wrapped under the name of
PARKER's GINGER Tonic contain the genuine
medicine IL the facsimile signature of HIsCOx Il
Co. Ia at the bottom Of the outside wrapper.
