READING FOR THE YOUNG.
a HAPPY NEW YEAR.

|" A happy New Year" Yes, dear child:
How many things year may do;
It may bring gifts for every day,
1t may take all past gifts away,
It may bring smiles, it may bring tears
It may rain blessings on each head.
We can not tell till 1t is dead
And gone to Join the other years
What this shall do for me or you.
We can not tell TIL 1t Is dead;
But this one thing we surely know;
It will not leave us as it finds,
But change our bodies souls and minds.
Some lives must bloom and some must fade;
Some spirits quicken In Gods light;
Some darken into growing night.
Does it not make you feel afraid
To think that we must alter SO?
So tall and wise you will be, dear,
Before this year is bent and gray;
Your hair with freSher gold will shine
But silver threads will CLEAN in mine.
The gains of youth are loss to age
Time gives to you and steals from mes
Yet can smile, content to see
These travel-signs of pilgrimage,
So different from your dawn OF day.
So here's New Year wish for both:
May we keep growing. you and /,
Learning sweet truths in sweetest way
Living in sunshine every day,
Having fresh love for God for good;
With child-like hearts which ripen still
To moderate wish and tempered will:
To conquest over self and mood.
So kiss me, dear, and let us try.
Susan Coolidge.

none but themselves. There is new
South, whose people long ago accepted
the result of the war, and who have
been showing by their industry, their
enterprise and their loyalty to the
Union that they are far more patriotic
than those Republicans who, in time OF
peace, have striven for the sake OF place
and favor to array States against States
and to feed the smoldering fires OF
dangerous sectionalism.
But the Republican party. which had
long ago outlived its proper age and

out its selfish, miserly hate of the party

withheld from the people of this our
common country. - Richmond (Va)

ITALIAN SLAVERY.

The Padrone system Practiced in New
York and Other Parts of the Country
An Outrage on American Civilization
Strong Repressive and Corrective Meas.
ures Needed to Stamp it Out.
NEW YORK, December 1S
Regarding the Italian padrones here.
Signor Moreno, who has been trying to
destroy the system, said: "This padronc
system is an outrage on American civiliza-
ton and on humanity. Children are
brought here under the plea of teaching
them mechanical trades, and adults of
both sexes are induced to mortgage their
little properties in farm or vineyard lands
in Italy, for quadruple the amount of
their passage money, and to enter into
CONTRACTS WITH PADRoNEs
to work from one to six years under the
promise that at the end of the contract,
and when the money advanced had been
repaid, they will be given farms in various
parts of the United States. The children
and adults, when once here enter into
life of slavery worse than that of the
Southern negro before emancipation.
Something ought to be done to suppress
this traffic and stamp out this slavery.
While the Moreno bill of 1874 was pend
ing found a good man in Blaine, who
was the Speaker, and he gave me import
ant assistance. | am almost alone in
fighting this great evil now" The two
Italian Padroni, Michaelle and Giuseppe
Marone, cousins, whose liquor stores are
at No. 81 and 66 Mulberry street, and
who were arrested on Monday on COM
plant of Angelo Artemo and Pietro Cas-
tellano and Vincenzo Esposito, charging
them with forcing the complainants at the
POINT OF THE DAGGER
to sign Acknowledgements of debts which
they did not owe, were arraigned at Jeff
erson Market Court. Complainants failed
to appear but they were traced to the
Italian Consulate and brought to court,
when they explained that the reason of
their non-attendance was that the defend
ants had threatened to kill them if they
went to court. Defendants were admit
ted to bail i'm the sum of 5000 each, to an
swer at special session, and complainants
having no homes were committed to the
house of detention to await the trial.

UNCOMFORTABLE BLAINE.

The Surprising Result of the Late Political
Contest, According to the Defeated Can
didate.
Really Mr.. Blaine's account of his
own defeat leaves it quite uncertain that
he is not yet victorious The Irish DEM
ocrats, thousands of them, voted for
him, the Germans didn't desert him,
and the Independents had no following
worth mentioning. According to his
| analysis of the vote he seemed to have
gained everywhere, and yet, curiously
enough, to very little purpose. This is
a surprising result of political contest
He appears to lay the most direct blame
on Providence and DR.. Burchard-th the
former under the guise of 1.-THE weather"
and the latter as San intolerant and
highly improper minister with a weak
ness for ALTERATION. The interview,
which was evidently furnished for the
purpose. of general publication and
letting Mr.. Blaine down gently
after his political Miscarriage; was
not contriyed in good taste. Blaine,
as usual, appears as his own
eulogist and defender. He says in effect
to the country, only for sundry acct
dents, and '''if - so' and so had not hap
pened Blaine would have been elected.
All this kind of speculation may be true
enough, but it is not to the point; it
leaves unsaid the only thing that he
should have said, viz. A manly,
straightforward admission that he was
beaten in a square fight, and magnan-
imous recognition of the public worth
of his opponent and a patriotic express
sion of his respect and support for the
peoples choice: No, Blaine will never,
we fear, be anything but a brilliant
partisan, and his defeat will in no wise
remand him to private life. If he can
not have official position he will at
least live publicly and manage to'att
tract notice. Almost simultaneously
with this interview explaining his de-
feat, comes the intelligence that Blaine
is not content with the quietness of his
home in Maine. He is said to be look
ing for a suitable mansion in Wash.
ington, where he will live during
the winter. engaged in the agree
able task of finishing his history
and keeping the author on the sur
face of events. This is, following
Beaconsfield's advice in reference to a
political defeat, ''act as if it had not
happened" Blaine is determined not
to be shelved, and, as he has strength,
energy and ability, there might yet be a
future of great prominence before him.,
were it not for the unfortunate records
he has left of his Congressional career.
These can not be effaced or destroyed.
They beat him before the people this
time, and they will be apt to do it again,
should he test their power. He had
better confine himself to literature, leave
politics alone, and live serenely on the
capital, political and financial, that he
has snugly slowed away. He might
add an additional volume to his history,
embracing the changes and chances
that led to his defeat, with special refer
ence to the danger of such enemies as
Conkling and of such friends as DIR.
Burchard, and, above all, of the folly of
writing too many letters.-St. Louis

BLAlNE'S MALlGNANCY.
Impossible to Resist the Conclusion That

impossible to Resist the Conclusion That
Blaine's Utterances Are Intended to Stir
Up Strife at the South.
If Blaine's malignity were mere sore
headedness it might be overlooked. But
when his infiammatory utterances are
taken into consideration with those of
Fred Douglass and such blatant organs
as the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette, it
is impossible to resist the conclusion
that they spring from a. deliberate pur-
pose to stir up strife at the South. 1t is
hoped very evidently that the negroes
can be moved to such display of ami
mostly against the whites assto arouse
the latter to retaliation. Then will
Blaine and his followers come to the
front with prompt eve told you so"
and combined effort to,fasten respon-
sibility for the result upon the election
Of Cleveland!
The design, is so patent, however;
that the ultimate.purpose of the schemers
is sure be defeated. If race COM
fiict does come in the South the people
both North and South will understand
very well who, has done the infamous
work of fomenting~ strife. and inf1aming
passions. Mr. Blaine. is magnetic
man and a. plausible. But he has neither
magnetism nor plausibility to deceive
the people as to, his responsibility for a
war of races should such a war unhap-
PLY come. A solemn and heavy respon-
sibility it will be, too, one from which
he may well shrink. He knows some
thing of the feeling of people express
ING their. condemnation of corruption in
office and their hatred of lying But he
will find the breeze which blew him
one side on the 4th of November but q
summer zephyr in comparison with the
whirlwind of wrath and Indignation
which will visit him and his co-coA--
spirators if their present wicked scheme
proves successful.
Meanwhile it is the duty of all
thoughtful. sensible men, North as well
as South. to see that the scheme does
not succeed. The influence which these
infammatory appeals of Blaine and
Douglass and other wicked demagogues
are having and likely to have upon the
colored people of the South must be
counteracted by showing them the true
character of such appeals and the abb
sence of any ground for fear that the
change in the National Administration
means anything but good 70 their race.
With the intelligent colored men this
will not be difficult. Indeed. they are all
ready telling each other that the cleo
ton of Cleveland will be benefit to
them. With the unintelligent, already
filed with distrust and vindictiveness
through the lying arts of partisans and
demagognes, it will be more difficult,
but with discretion and patience it will
be accomplished even in their case

THEY COME HIGH.

The Opinion Arrived at Isy Connections
Campaign Committee Regarding Chicago
Stump Orators-How Emory Storrs % n-
ioyed Himself" at Waterbury-A Twenty
four Hours Bill.
WATERBURY, CONN, December IS.
In the height of the recent Presidential
campaign here the Republican managers
announced with 4 flourish of trumpets
that the Hon. Emory Storrs, of Chicago,
would address a mass-mecting at the
Waterbury Skating Rink, the largest
building in the city. The livelieSt indig-
nation was aroused in Republican ranks
by the declaration of local Independent
newspaper upon the announcement of
StorrS' intended visit, that he was u pOlit-
ical dead-beat. When the distinguished
guest arrived, he was quartered at the
Scoville House, which is the leading hotel
in the city. Judge Lewis, of the Repub-
lican Committee, told Storrs that his ex-
penses would be all settled, and to go
ahead and enjoy himself. Mr.. Storrs re-
manned just twenty-four hours, and soon
after his departure his bill, amount
ing to $I2, was sent in as
directed. 1t was considered formidable
bill by the committee, but, supposlng
that Western stump-speakers, and Chi
cago ones in particular, come high, they
paid it. Yesterday the gentlemen OF the
committee were almost paralyZed by the
presentation of bill from the bar of the
Scoville House, in which the Hon. Emory
Storrs appears as debtor to the amount
of over $50 for WHISTLES, brandies, Pom
merry sec and extra dry, besides ale and
Henry Clay cigars, ordered by him during
the evening after his address and con-
sumed by himself and friends The bill
was not presented until yesterday be-
cause the bartender did not know to
whom to present 1T. The committee
swear that they won't pay cent of it,
and it is possible that the bill NAV be pre-
scented to Storrs himself.

A Breeze at the Exposition.

NEW ORLEANS, La, DecetlDeF II.
Exhibitors for the past month have been
complaining of the inability of the chief
installation officer of the Exposition,
Samuel Mullen. Some of them also claim
that he has not shown proper courtesy in
his treatment of them. These complaints
eliminated yesterday in a meeting of the
exhibitors, at which it was almost unani-
mously resolved to demand the immedia tie
expulsion of Mullen from the bureau.
The trouble seems to have been pre-
cipitated by the exhibitors not being pro-
vided with admission tickets; but they
assert that they have been unable to Sc
cure the space allotted them, and have
been put to great annoyance and expense
by Mullen's incapacity and boorishness.
The latter states that the trouble arises
entirely from his inability to furnish
every exhibitor the best space in the
building.

A. Fatal Discovery.

CLEVELAND, o., December 10.
Early last evening a farmer named
Harrington, living two miles from Geneva,
was called to his door by a knock, and on
opening, was confronted by masked
man, who sighted along the barrel of a
revolver and demanded: IL want your
money" Harrington took small sum
from his pockets and handed it to the
robber, who took it and cried: 'That
isn't all. / want the balance" At that
moment the handkerchief fell from
his eyes, and Mrs Harrington,
standing near, exclaimed: sob, L
know him." "You do, do you?" shouted
the ruffian. 'sTake that, then," and he.
fired, the bullet going through her
shoulder. She ran out of the house AID
to the neighbors for help. On returning
with friends, evidences of a desperate
struggle were found in the house, and
Harrington lay dead on the floor with a
bullet-hole in his forehead. Mrs. Har-
rington recognized the murderer as a fell
low named Teck, who lived two miles
from the farm. Citizens are securing the
country for him.
