Such forget that the same
claim has been made in all ages and
countries by defenders Of old wrongs
against new reforms. 1t was alleged by
the Tories Of the American Revolution

repeated against jefferson and afterward
against Jackson. audit is alleged by the
Conservatives against those who in Eng
land are now e~ndeavoring TO enlarge the

reforms in government must not be ex-

social mountain tops enjoying the bene-
fits of the existing order Of things.

The Republican party is largely made
up of those who live by their wits. aud
who aspire in politics to advantages Of
the rest Of mankind. similar to those
which their daily lives are devoted to
securing in private business. The Dem

who live by the work of their hands,
and whose political action is governed

results, then, that the Democratic more
readily than the Republican party can
be moulded to the support of reform
measures which involve u sacrifice Of
selfish principles The indispensable
necessity Of our times IS a change of adj
ADMINISTRATION in the great executive OIL
ces of the country. This, in my judg-
msnt, can only be accomplished b. the
election of the Democratic candidates
for President and Vice President.

do not know that Mary was a strong
minded woman, or that she was wealthy
or beautiful;'perhaps she did not move in
the best society; but there is one thing do
know-she could love. Wherever the Cos
pei OF the Son Of God is preached that story
is told out. | suppose Mary forgot all
about herself, but she loved the Master,
and she poured that ointment oat upon
him. Eighteen centuries have rolled away,
but the name OF Mary Of Bethany is as fresh
as ever IL was. l suppose there is no wom-
ans name so fresh as hers, except the name
Of Mary, the mother of the Saviour. can
imagine some men, when Christ was on
earth, prophesying that that story would DO
told in the nineteenth century, and not
man on the face of the earth would
have believed IT, We look back ON the days
of miracles, but we forget we are living In
the days OF miracles. Missionary societies
in New York and London have put the
story of Mary into two hundred and flfty
languages, and have sent out millions OF
copies Of it. That story will live as long
rs the church Of God Is upon EARTH She
made her name immortal by that one act
We want, to-day, men and women who are
willing TO do.
suppose II the reporters had been living
in the days Of Mary, and heard on the
streets of Jerusalem that she had broken
that alabaster box upon him, they would
not have thought II was worth noticing;
but II has outlived everything else that
took place then. II they had seen that
widow cast those two mites into the treas
ury OF the Lord they would have 8aid:
"There will be no one In Jerusalem that
will care for that"
But seel Eighteen centuries have rolled
away, and that story has outlived every
thing else that occurred there.

TIE SHOWS of last winter had not yet
melted upon the plains of Poland and
everybody In Warsaw was still wearing
rubber boots and watching the thermome-
ter, when Antoni Won Ziolkowsd and Cath
crime Dali met. He was blithe opponent
of the Russian Gar, and she was blue
eyed maiden with the usual assortment of
patriotic sentiments, which, according to
Miss Porter, the novelist, all Polish ladiss
possess.
For the pair not to have fallen in love
under these circumstance would have been
contrary to all the precedents of modern
light literature and accordingly they soon
progressed so far that the size of the we'd
ding ring was discussed. The inevitable
obstacle arose in the shape of an aunt with
whom Catherine lived. This lady had an
unreasonable objection to son-in-law who
was constantly followed by detectives, and
who might at any time take trip to ST.
IBERIA without waiting to buy return tick
ct, and she therefore sternly opposed the
match. Catherine wept and Ziolkowsd
was very near kicking one Of the detectives,
which presumably would have sent him up
the Vistula for ten days. This impulse
was however soon conquered, and an elab-
crate scheme Of elopement was prepared.
The aunt, however, bafiied 1t by selling her
property and starting with the fearful
Catherine for America. Ziolkowsh at once
ceased to conspire against the Gar and
started for America.
So did detectives, who wanted to bring
him back, as they preferred to have him
stay at home, where they knew just what
he was doing. The procession glided
through Prussia in true opera bouffe style
-Ziolkowski always arriving at town
just five minutes after the aunt and Cath
crime had departed, and the detectives al
ways coming in ten minutes later, only to
find that Ziolkowski had also gone on.
When he reached Bremen he saw the
steamer which bore the aunt and Catherine
hull down in the ocean, and so, Disgusting
himself as an emigrant, he followed in the
steernge Of the next steamer. The detect
ives disguised themselves as common sail
ors and shipped before the mast of the next
steamer, and so the chase continued.
Six weeks ago Ziolkowsld landed in
Castle Garden, disguised himself as fur
rier and renewed his search for Catherine.
He found her while her aunt was out shop
ping. Again they schemed, and on Satur-
day they eloped to Castle Garden and were
married by Father Slattery, with Matron
Theresa Lynch and Officer Peter Groden as
witnesses. The detectives, misled by Ziol-
kowski's last disguise, went ON across the
continent and are now supposed to be on
their way to China, where they will con-
tinue the search in the costumes of retired
laundrymen from California.

A Lost Parrot Establishes His Identity by
Talking Pure Castilian.

lNuSnlhBuoh hcpuDiCuu'l
A friend Of Miss Jessie Horton, Of No.
10 L street southeast, gave TO her, about
two years ago, an educated poll parrot.
The bird spoke Spanish and English like a
native Of both countries, and was very
mischievous. Miss Horton and the parrot
became devotedly attached to each other,
and the bird soon became familiar TO the
neighborhood. About four months ago,
while Miss Horton was cleaning the cage,
the parrot escaped. Miss Horton was very
much grieved at the loss of her pet, and
advertised large rewards for its recovery,
but heard nothing Of IL. She did not give
up the search for IL, however, and in the
course Of her search saw almost every bird
in the city.
About week ago one Of her friends told
her that colored man named Frank Guy
had parrot resembling hers. Guy is a
tall colored man without hands, and keeps
a small grocery at 1876 Third street south-
east. Miss Horton procured n search war;
rant, and yesterday Detectives Mattingly
end Edelin, served IL. They went to Guys
place of business and saw the parrot. Guy
stated that he purchased IL at Richmond
about four months ago. Several other per-
sons corroborated his statement, saying
that II was at the time Of the excursion Of
the colored Chaldeans TO that city. The
detectives had some doubt about charging
Guy with larceny, and took the parrot to
Miss Guy ior identification.
The bird was taken to her room, and as
soon as he saw her began chattering and
screaming with delight.
"Beautiful JESSIE" ho said, "scratch
polls head" Look out, "I'm back" and
other similar expressions. 1t then began
calling "Mother" in Spanish, and, vixen
IL had stopped tapping its wings and bo-
came calm, carried on an animated conver-
sation in the same tongue. This satisfied
the detective as TO the ownership, and the
bird was taken TO police headquarters
where IL will be held until Guy is tried fol
the larceny of the bird. Guys story is be.
lieved, and II is supposed that some one
stole the parrot and took 1t to Richmond
where he purchased 1t. The bird Is also at.

The King Of the Cowboys.
LOrnllnln Mob Letter.l

The presiding genius Of the town Is
Tucker, who runs a combination saloon and
gambling house. When any Of the cow
boys get hard up they go to see Tucker. He
gives his money literally and freely to his
friends. Tucker is tall, fine looking man,
with an intelligent countonsnce. He affects
long hair, la Buffalo Bill, and prides him
self on his fighting abilities. II drunken
cowboy Is disposed to have shooting
matinee or rough -and tumble exercise he
can always be accommodated by applying
10 Tucker, who agrees TO do up the anxious
individual in short order. When any dis
turber Of the peace tries TO invade the
sacred precincts OF the Cowboys Rest, as
fuckers saloon is affectionately called, the
gentlemanly proprietor gives him his ad-
vice TO either fight or have drink. The
festive and belligerent cowboy adores
Tucker on account OF his generosity and
grit, and he would stand by this popular
border gambler through thick and thin.
ANY other man than Tucker would be liza
BILE to have his saloon completely demol-
ished two or three times week, but he al
ways remembers his friends; no hungry
man was ever turned from his door, and
the cowboys who have had substantial
evidence Of his goodwill never forget the
kindness. Tucker has many imltators, but
he Is the typical border paradox Of gentle-
man and rufflan, and no man can compets
with him In shrewdness and popularity.

nothing less than the giving of ex-

of the world The articles from the
different States and Territories of
our own country are particularly in
structive and entertaining. Judge
Parrlsh's articles an "The Farmer 3

aud lecturers in the West. will soon
leave for the South, with the view of
supplying the paper with series of
articles on the agricultural features
of that section. This journal also
has q fine household department,
which makes it particularly attract
