Didn't Want Amy Circulars.

CHICAGO, June 6.-There was All
exciting scene about midnight in the
Colorado headquarters which would
have resulted in bloodshed but fN
the prompt interference of police
officers. A number of Blaine's
managers were holding a meeting
with closed doors, when a young
man carrying an arm full of circu.
lars entered. The circulars con-
tanned a reproduction of PucEs
"Tattoed Men," which are being
distributed everywhere for political
effect by a few ultra anti-Blaine
men. 1t appears that the meeting
was being held to discuss the best
means of suppresslng the further
circulation of these campaign circu.
lars, and when the young man
entered their midst and commenced
distributing them all over the room,
there was intense excitement. One
man jumped up and catching the
intruder by the coat pulled him to
the door and flung him out into the
hall when be was beset by a dozen
other adherents of Blaine. They
kicked and pounded him. and were
rapidly reducing him to jelly when
some friends came up. Revolvers
werep pulled on both sides at once,
but bloodshed was prevented by the
appearance OF officers who rescued
the bold news agent.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

1t will be fourteen years In Sep
TENDER since Gambetta proclaimed
the French Republic from the steps
of the Hotel de Vile, and during all
these years Americans have watched
the career of the young republic with
intense anxiety, fearing lest some
stab of its foes or some blunder of it's
friends should result in its ruin. 1t
is probable that the people of the
United States feel a stronger desire
for the perpetuation of the French
Republic than for almost any other
political result in Europe it would he
possible to mention, and its downfall
would cause nearly as much sorrow
In America as IN France. 1t Is re-
dicul0us, therefore, for Frenchmen
to magnify the after-dinner visit of
the Count of Paris to the house of
Mr., Morton, the American Minister
In Paris, into anything like an ad-
mission by the United States of the
of the Count. Al a SOL
der who held a place on the staff of
Gen. Mcclellan during our war and
one of the best historians of that
struggle, the Count of Paris has
many admirers IN this country, not
me of whom, probably, would con-
'ees a desire to see him king of
france. If there are as many people
n France as in the United States
Who wish to see the French Repub-
ic live, Its fall will not be witnessed
" this generation.

TaE HERALD'S OPINION.

The New York Herald is an inde>
pendent newspaper but during the
past two or three Presidential cleo
tons it has welded its immense in
huence In favor of the Republican
candidates. But it will not support
Blaine in this campaign nor can it
without making itself the butt of
every Democratic paper and every
consistent politician In the country.
A few days ago it had the following
to say concerning the Maine states.
man : james g. Blaine, having sat.
lsfied himself that he will not be
nominated at Chicago for President,
boldly ~confesses his resolve to ruin
the Republican party, since he can
not rule it. IT Blaine, after making
this declaration under such circum-
etances, does not instantly withdraw
his name for very shame from the
consideration of the Chicago conven-
ton, it should be hooted by everv
delegate. 1t may be that the Repub-
lican party's time is up but its bit
terest foes must acknowledge that it
has had too grand a ca reel to deserve
to be thus betrayed. Nor will thew
tolerate the traitor, though they NAV
profit by the treason. Blaine NAV |
imagine that he is a political Samson
In what he is doing, but the people of
the United States, Democrats and
Republicans alike, will be quick to |
recognize the traits of a Judas"

HOW A N

Col. Bob Ingersoll was recently In.
terviewed for the purpose of trying
to find out who is preference is for
Presidential candidate. He said he
would like to see Gresham nomi-
mated, but thought he was only a
possibility, not a probability. When
asked what he thought of Arthur's
chances he replied: II hardly know.
He is hardly an average man in point
OF ability. That ought to help him.
The people do not appear to want q
man for President who is above the
average. The business man prefers
a man below the average. He regards
a man with ideas as positively dam
gerous. The business man wants
nothing done. he says, heavens,
aren't we doing we'll enough now9
then let well enough alone, because
while we are suffering from over
production and nothing is done to
secure foreign markets for relief.
nothing Is done to cultivate friendly
relations with foreign nations, and
the result Is outside nations carry on
the commerce of the world"
The Colonel then went on to say he
did not believe New York could be
by the Republicans If Tilden
should be nominated. Upon the gen
oral subject of politics he was quite !
He thought it was very
doubtful whether he would take apy
part in the GINNING campaign and
was fully satisfied to give the subject

oower in the Republican party, and
Ills willingness to abstain from all
discussions shows he Is not

PENSION BILLS.

There has been q plethora of pen
sion bills reported in Congress dur
ing the present session, so many in
deed that it is doubtful whether any
one of them will pass at this session.
The last bill which has been favor
ably reported upon is. the one intro
duced by Senator Cullom. It pro-
vides that every person shall receive
q pension who served three months
during the late wal and obtained an
honorable discharge, and who is de-
pendent wholly or in part upon his
own labor or upon assistance from
Others for the means of comfortable
support. The highest amount, $50
per month, is granted for total disa>
billty, and less amounts for smaller
injuries. Widows and parents of
deceased soldiers AND sailors now 70.
ceiving IS per month are to receive
81, and widows and minor chill
dren of pensioners are entitled to
pensions.
Commenting upon this bill, the
Mail and Express holds it is IA her
comprehensive in its provisions, and
under which it Is possible for the
great majority of those who served
in the war to obtain pensions. It
seems to the great majority of people
unnecessary to go as far as this. The
pension roll already amounts to
like SIS, 900. 600 a year. 1t
is not certain how much q bill like
would add. but the increase
would be very considerable, prob I
ably $50, GOO, 900 more. This is a bad
time to bring forward pension bills,
too. just before a presidential elec-
ton neither party wants to show any
hostility, nor anything that could be
construed as hostility, towards the
Did soldiers; and the measure cannot
low be considered solely on its mer-
ts. 1t will be time enough to pass
|uch q bill next session.

A Story Of Parepa.

1t was many years ago that a pool
widowed woman, leading a hard life
of unending labor, was called to par1
with one thing dear to her-he1
only child. Mother and daughter
had toiled together for fifteen wears,
and the only bit of sunshine falling
into their dark lives was that shed
by their loving companionship.
But the girl had always been weakly.
Under the heart broken mothers
eyes she faded and wasted away with
consumption, and at last the dav
came when the wan face failed to
answer with a smile the anxious.
tear blinded eyes of the mother. The
poor young creature was dead.
For many months the pair had
been supported by the elder woman's
sewing, and it was in the character
OF employer 1 had become acquainted
with Mrs. @. and her story. By an
occasional visit to the awful heights
OF an east.side tenement, where they
lived, by q few books and comforting
words, l had won the love of the
dying girl. Her grateful Thoughts
turned in her last hours to the small
number OF friends she possessed, and
she tesought E mother to notify
me of the day of the funeral end AK
me to attend.
That summons reached me unon

below. .
There was the mother, speechless
in her grief, beside tt at box, q group

neighbors sitting about. 1t was use
less to say the poor woman was pre-
nared for the inevitable end; 1t was

Then the minister came ina dry,

riedly departed, while q hush fell
over everybody gathered in the little
room. Not one word had been ut

Then Parepa arose. her cloak falling
about her noble figure like mourning
drapery. She stood beside the miser- /
able stained cherry box. She looked
q moment on the wasted, ashy face,
upturned toward her from within it. |
She laid her soft, white hand on the
forehead of the dear girl, and then
lifted up that matchless voice in the
beautiful melody Of
"Angels ever bright and fair,
Take, oh take her to thy CARE
The noble voice swelled toward
heaven, and if ever the choirs of par
paused to listen to earth's music
it was when Parepa sang so glorious~
" beside that poor dead girl. No
can describe its effect on those
gathered there. The sad mourner
on her knees and with clasped
hands and streaming eyes, the little
0and stood reverently around her.
No queen ever went to her grave
