TO A N IDOL
By cLIEToS scoLLARD.

Once you ruled, a god divine.
In q sacred shady shrine
Near a river dark as wine
Md the trees;
And to you the mandarins
With their smooth, unshaven chlnss
Prayed absolgence from their sias,
On their knees.
Tiny-footed Chinese maids,
With their raven hair in braids.
Sought you in your quiet shades
Meath the boughs;
HAPPY for a thousand years
You beheld their smiles and tears
l. sfened to their hopes n fears
And their VOWS.
Now above her escritoire.
In my lady's pink boudo.r,
Ever dumbly pining for
Lost repose,
You sit stolid, day by day,
With your cheeks so thin and gray,
Stony eyes ami retr0usse
Little nose.
Where the sunlight glinteth DER
Persian rug and polished floor
You will frown fOreverm0re,
Grim as hate;
A divinity cast down,
having neither shrine nor crown,
Once q god. but now a brown
Paper-weight.

Special Correspondence OF the Gazette.
Fort SMITH, ARK, Dec. l6.-"Thomas
Bowman, murder Death of defendant
suggested and suit abatcd." Such was a
note found yesterday on the clerks record
In the United States court, which would
have attracted no special attention had
the subject mentioned been an ordinary
prisoner. Since the 18th Of August last
every stranger passing by ;hc United
States jail would be attracted by the sight
of an old man, whose flowing locks and
long beard were white as the driven
snow, seated complacontly in chair at
the barred window Of the cell,
looking morose and haggard. Upon
Inquiry the stranger would be informed
that this was Thomas Bowman, who was
there awaiting trial on the grave charge
of murder. BY his surly disposition and
utter refusal To associate with those with
whom he was thrown in contact he soon
became rcpulsiyo to every prisoner in
jail, and when few days ago he was
taken sick ii was hard matter for the
prison officials to induce his fCllOw-pris-
onerS TO bcstow upon him the care his
condition demanded. He seemed to
court death, and about Il week ago re-
fused all nourishmont and medicine
offered, and on Sunday last this
whlte-haircd murderer was released
from prison by the hand OF
death in the seventy third year OF his age,
with no relative near TO smooth his hoary
locks or offer him Que word OF consola
ton In his last moments, He Is said TO
have led a wicked NE, and II Is charged
that his hands had been more than once
stained with the blood OF his icllow-man.

TYPE-SETTING MACHINES.
\ New Invention Which Means Mischie

\ New Invention Which Means Iischie,
to the Intelligent Composition.
There are about Congress some of the
best shorthand writers in the world.
writes a Washington correspondent.
Nearly all of them are spectators in 8
quiet way, and some of them are quite
rich. Most of them are at present in
terested in the new typc-Setting machine
which is being perfected in Baltimore.
Here is a machine which is manipu-
lated by keyboard similar to that OF
the typewriter. Each top of the KEY
moulds and manufactures a new type
out Of stereotype metal, SO that one link
OF work represents solid bar of metal
with a raised face of the letters struck
This bar can be sliced like cheese for
the correction of proofs or juStifving,
and can be made in such shape that II
can be locked i'll Il cylindrical form so as
to 90 upon any of the presses where
stereotype plates can 90. The beauty
of this work is that the presswork is
done each time from the face of new
type. Ii it is practicable the machine is
SO clean and simple that the work of
type-setting can be done in a parlor
without any dust or litter
When these machines are ready to 90
to work the intelligent compositor will
be banished. His place will be taken
by nimble fingered, neatly dressed
young women. The dirt of the great
newspaper establishments of the future
will be swept into the basement where
the presswork is done, while the money
saved by those machines will be de
voted to the establishment and adOrn-
ment OF the up stairs part of the publ
cation Office, SO that the editorial rooms
of the future viii be all that art and
luxury can devise. The editor of the
future will recline upon an easy chair
and softly murmur his editorial musings
III the pink ear OF 4 gentle and lovely
maiden, whose fingers will set his
thoughts as fast as uttered, so that rs
soon rs he has finished 4 proof of them
can be instantly hung up in front of
him for correction. This is the glowing
picture of the work of the editor of the
future given me by one of the steno-
grapherS interested in the development
OF the machine. One of the principal
Stenographers of Washington has in
vested the savings of 4 lifetime in this
invention.
Belief in the virtues Of this type-set-
ting machine has spread to Congress
SiOnal circles. Senator Pendleton and
at least 4 dozen more of his associates
have stock in the enterprise. 1t has
been worked up among the offices III
about the same way as the Bell tele-
phone stock before it took its great
sweep upward. Through the location
of the Patent Office here and the pres
ence of large class of patent attor-
neys, nearly everyone in official life has

made in the lottery of Inventions

OBNOXIOUS OFFICIALISM.
Secretary Chambers Attitude Toward
Congress.

Secretary Chambers Attitude Toward
Congress.
Secretary Chambers letter to the
Appropriations Committee of the House
of Representative illustrates very
forcibly one of the most obnoxious
phases of officialism in this country
the magnifying of Office. Carefully
worded rs it is and indicative as it is OF
a desire to avoid giving offense, it is
pervaded from first to last with an ar
rogant assumption that the Secretary
and not Congress is the proper judge as
to the necessities of the Navy Depart
ment, and that Congress ought to be
governed by the Secretary views.
This is a gross misconception of the
respective powers, duties and positions
of the Secretary and Congress. 1t is
undoubtedly the duty of the former to
furnish Congress with the information
he has-and which he has special facD-
tiles for obtaining-as to the condition
and apparent wants of the navy. But
when he has done that he has done all
that is required of him. If Congress
sees fit to make appropriations in ac-
cordance with his suggestions, well and
good. If not, lie has no responsibility
in the premises. To use homely, but
expressive phrase, it is none of his
business. He is simply the servant of
the people: and it is for the people
through their Representatives TO tell
him what to do, not for him to dictate
to them.
Secretary Chandler is not alone in his
exalted estimate of his official impOr
lance. The same arrogance crops out
here and there throughout the entire
system. We had a bad case here in
Detroit when a city attorney decided
that it was incumbent on him to amend
the charter instead of attending to the
duties imposed upon him by the exist
ing charter. We have had a series of
bad cases of it in the Board of Auditors,
which has taken upon it the regulation
of county salaries and other matters
never committed to it by the people,
whose servant it is. The new Police
Court bill is an exceedingly marked in
stance of it, whether it originated with
the officials who seem to have drafted
it o. was drawn by them at the instance
of the Board of Auditors upon a prom
Use of payment from the public treas
ury,
There is entirely too much Of this Of
fetal arrogance, this forgetfulness on
the part of public servants that they are
servants and assumption that they are
the peoples masters. All, or nearly all |
of them, need to be taught some such
lesson as Congress is teaching Secretary
Chandler. Detroit Free Press.

The Late Republican Candidate for the
Presidency Concocting Schemes for Re
yenge.
The Washington correspondent of the
Springfield Mass. Republican says that it
is all humbug that Mr.. Blaine is devoting
himself to the second volume of his his
tory. Intrigue and dinners take all
his time. Nearly every evening he
stretches his legs under some ones ma
hogany. and every day he is in mystic
rious consultation with his political
allies. His hand is felt in the New
York Senatorial fight, and more or less
in the factional quarrels in other
States. He considers himself the leader
of the Republican party, and in that ca
pacity he thinks it is his duty to guide
the movements in different parts of the
country In other words, he wants to
control the National machine rs thor
oughly as he used TO run his little
grindstone mp in Maine"
He is looking forward to 1888. Any
one who associates with Arthur is not
tolerated in the Blaine mansion. A
caller SAYS the house is full of gall and
gossip" and all the Arthur adherents
have to take it from the smart-tongued
family. They suspect Arthur of look
ing forward to 1888 also, and they hate
him both fer the past and the future.
Certain men have tried in vain to be in
innate at bu;h the White House and the
Blaine house. but they couldn't do it.
Considering the indianapolis libel suit.
people expect the Blaines To be tolerant
of a certain kind of scandal. but they
say things of Arthur calculated to
make ordinary people blush.
Many Republicans are trembling in
their shoes lest Blaine shall get another
nomination. But they do not know
how to head him of. a Congressman
who hoped TIE Lord would spare the
Republican party fom Blaine again.

him If nominated. blaine is smart
and sly" says the correspondent. ''He
cares nothing about the party, but. with

is determined 20 rule or ruin. He has
a charm of manner which faScinateS,
