Gen. Logan's reelection to the Unit
ed States Senate has brought him
prominently to the front as the Repub-
lican candidate for President in 1888.
The St. Paul Dispatch, who, we believe,
was the first northwestern journal to
suggest Logan's candidacy, says:
''There is no question but that Log ans
election to the senate has put new life
into Republicans everywhere, and they
will now commence planning with con.
fidence for victory in 1888. Loean's
triumph entrenches the Republican par
ty in the senate, and there is little
doubt that it will be able to hold that
important position throughout Clcve-
lands term. The Importance of this
upon the future of the party cannot be
overestimated. 1t is not alone Logan's
vote which insures the Republicans a
majority, but his united, inspiring
presence and his magnificent and con-
tagious courage which will have brac.
ing moral effect upon his party as
sociates in that body. The Republicans
just at this time needed the Illinois vic
tory badly, and may thank their stars
that they have secured it. Its organic
er and winner deserves the highest re-
ward that his party can bestow; but it
is not so much this sense of gratitude
that is likely to make him the presi-
dental candidate in 1883 as the feeling
that he is the only man that can lead
the Republicans to victory. This feel
ing will grow

The deadlock in the Illinois legisla-
ture was brought to an end on the 10th
inst. by the reelection of John A. Lo-

voted solidly for Logan. The Demo-

three hours fight Logan was finally de.

happily terminating the most stubborn
political fight that has ever occurred in
this country.

A Chinese Lynching.

Just outside the west gate of the
Shanghai City is small hamlet where
lived an old man and his son. The lat
ter made it practice of calling upon
mis- father for cash whenever he was in
want of it, until the thing got rather
monotonous for the father, who remon-
strated with his son, and being saucily
replied to, the father attempted to apply
"paternai correction" on the son; the
son in rage, then caught hold of the
door bar and brought it down with such
force upon the fathers skull that he
cracked it and killed the old man. The
neighbors, hearing the row, assembled
at the door of the house where the muir
der was committed and captured the son
as he was endeavoring to escape. The
members of the fathers clan were then
called together, and at solemn conclave
it was decided to administer on the
spot the law set aside for parricides in
stead of appealing to the magistrates,
which invariably causes much delay,
and perhaps the murderer might effect
his escape in the meantime. So the
parricide was bound hand foot, and
just without the hamlet hole was dug
and the wretched murderer consigned
to it's depths. The mud was thrown
into the hole and the members of the
clan stamped by turns on the grave I'M
til it was on a level with the ground,
and SO, without leaving a mound or any
marks to point out the parricide's grave,
the assembled crowd dispersed silently
to their daily vocations.

THE ACTRESS.

The curtain slowly rises, and before expectant
eyes,
An old italian city lies;
In fair Verona's streets ESQ says the poet) the
scene is laid,
With Montague as hero. and the Capulet's sweet
maid.
Meanwhile my eager glasses quickly rove from
box to stall,
Careless of curtains rise or fall
Careless of lovers zeal, of ball and dance and
kinsman's rage,
Or whether angry prince, OF subject, walks upon
the stage.
For in my heart there lives note, written by her
dear hand,
In which she saws: "For you is planned
A great surprise You'll see me at the play-Be
there at eight
After one year OF absence, you Will surely not be
late"
Yes, the dreary months of exile at length have
And soon as in the past may
Look in her tender eyes, so full of truth, and
hear her speak,
(But yeti think to find her here is decided
freak.
ST know she wrote, "that when we meet diff
ference you'll see,"
The change perchance from twig to tree,
Some girls grow old so quickly, and perhaps her
s.To step outside the old rut," may have made
her do the same.
Still she's not here it's so like her, to be little
slow,
Twas eight that struck an hour ago,
I might as well look on the stage and see If
Juliet,
(Forgive me sweet, has any grace like my shy
Violet.
Indeed she has-how like her hair-and as she
slowly turns
Ny God TITS she HOW my heart burns
And how crave for air-Ah me is this her pref
ty plan.
To the false worlds homage to the ewes of one
true man?
But then, why should 1 murmur if her tender
hearts the same,
Although she cares just now for fame?
So when we meet I'll try to feel, as did awhile
ago,
Before her lips and hand were touched by hand
some Romeo.

A Boys Glittering Find.

Information has just reached this
city, says a Lancaster. Pa, telegram of
an excitement prevailing in the lower
end of the county over the discovery
made by boy while digging for a
skunk. About two feet below the sur
face of the earth the lad came upon
bright, glittering mineral, lump of
which he snatched and carried home to
his father. The father took it to three
miners who had at one time mined in
California, and they unhesitatingly pro-
nounced it gold. Scientific men, to
whom the matter has been referred,
discredit the idea of gold existing as q
production of Lancaster County, but
the miners who examined the specimen
stake their practical knowledge against
that of theoretical mineralogists and
scientists generally. Father and son
persisently refuse to disclose the place
where the mineral whatever it is-was
found, but it is believed to have been
discovered on farm on Fulton town
ship, and the people of that section are
greatly excited about it,

The "Virgin of the Napkins.
From the st. Nicholas. !

When painting the pictures for the
Capuchins, Murillo dwelt in their con-
vent nearly three years, it is said, with
out once leaving it. He painted for
these monks twenty pictures with life
size figures, and several smaller
works. Seventeen of these are
now in the museum of Seville,
for the monks had the wisdom
TO send their pictures to Cadiz for safe
keeping before the "Plunder- master
general of Napoleon" as Soult has been
called, could reach them. When the
French wars were ended, the pictures
were returned to Seville. I cannot
speak of them separately, but will say
that the Madonna called Ella Virgen de
la Servilleta," or the Virgin of the Nap
kin, now in the museum, has this pretty
story connected with it. The legend is
that the cook of the convent grew very
fond of Murillo during his long service
to the artist, and when the time came
for them to be separated the cook
begged the painter for keepsake. The
painter said he had no canvas left; the
cook quickly gave him a napkin and
asked him to use that; with his usual
good nature, Murillo assented, and soon
painted this picture, which is now one
of the famous art treasures of the world.
It is not large, and represents the Vir-
gin with the child Jesus, who leans for
ward, almost out of the picture, as if to
welcome anyone who approaches it. It
has brilliant color, and SO affects one
that it is not easy to turn away from it.

Matchmaking Detectives.
[From the New York Mail and Express. I

lErom the New York Mail and ExpressI
In speaking of certain class of pri-
vate detectives the other day Col.
Charles s. Spencer, the criminal law
yer, said to reporter for the Mail and
Express: Many of the so-called detec-
tlves get their living by Matchmaking
people who at some earlier period of
their existence committed violation of
the law, but are now trying TO live
honest, respectable lives. I remember
one case which came under my own OBJ
servatlon number of years ago. was
called upon to defend o man, whose
name Will not mention, but who bore
bad reputation, charged with a crime of
some Importance. He was acquitted,
although afterward became convinced
that he was guilty. He was a man Of
considerable natural ability, and would,
| believe, could he be persuaded to re-
form, be able to earn an honest living.
When I spoke with him about the mat
ter he listened respectfully, and then
replied that he had been thinking of
the matter himself. He said that there
was an agent who wanted him to sell
maps for him, but as he had no money
and no one to go security for him he
had not accepted the position. I told
him that [ would help him to secure
the place. I loaned him 800. He pur-
chased the maps and went to work. He
was very fortunate in his sales, and at
the end of two or three years he had
saved the sum of ST 500, and paid back
to me the loan I had made him with
interest.
"He then concluded that he would
open fish market in the lower part of
the city, which he did, and was getting
along nicely when private detective,
who knew all about his life as crimi-
nal, discovered him in his market. He
told the new prosperous market man
that he would tell his customers all
about his past history, of which they
were ignorant, and thus ruin his bust
ness, unless he would pay him 800 as
hush money.
"My protege, seeing that the detective
had it in his power to iniure him, paid
the money. Not satisfied With the sum
he had received, the blackmailer came
back again in few weeks later. As he
did not know that the fellow could be
arrested for blackmail, he continued to
pay sums of money to the scoundrel un-
til he had crippled his business and
compelled the man to sell out at loss.
He came to me and stated his case. I
advised him to go West and try again.
I loaned him enough money to get out
OF town with. A year or two ago he
sent me letter stating that he had
made money and had become quite
in his new home. He sent
back the loan, too, with interest"
