BALLADE OF BABYs COO.

Let the bachelor boast his barren bliss,
The ease of his life, the room OF ms OWE,
Not an Opera played that he1eeds miss
He misses ut beast, one tehderest toDei
For look you, to these that 1--we not alone
And live not for self-tho' blessings be rare
And life seems measured by many moan -
The COO Of tile baby is cure Tor aref
His voice may thrill at the voice Of the sis"
Who queen Of the home IN ms boyhood shone
And his soul be sweet with the girllsh kiss
He misses at least one tendercst tone,
For, mind you, In all this temperate zone
Whatever pfanks may be played with the alf-
SILVER or roast not forever we groan-
The coo Of the baby is cure for carel
There isnever a morning sound Ike this
In his pretty room with the miuc throne,
When he huns the song of his pet actress
He misses, at least one tonderest tone;
For, bark you tho lids be heavy az stone
And night has been found a waking nightmare
And aches are gnawing at many bone
The COO Of the baby is cure for care.

A Stolen Horse and Saddle Recovered.
A colored man named James Ton
que, residing near Mount Zion, in the
Eighth district of this county, came
to Annapolis Saturday morning in
search ofa horse and saddle that had
been stolen from his premises the
night before It was not long after
Tongue reached here before he recog-
nized his horse in the wagon of one
William Dwell, a white man, resid-
ing on West street. He at once
claimed the horse as his, and was in-
formed by Dwell that he had bought
the animal in the morning from q col
ored man giving bis name as William
Stalwell, who represented to the pur-
chaser that he was the owner of the
horse, and was compelled to sell the
animal in order to raise some money
that day to pay a pressing debt. Up.
on these representations Mr.. Dwell
gave him $25, the price he asked for
the horse, and sent the animal to the
blacksmith's to be shod. Stalwell, it
appears had previously offered the
horse for sale to several other parties
upon the same pretext. Dwell at
first refused to recognize the claim of
the rightful owner, and in order to
prove his property and get possession
of the animal, Tongue went before
magistrate and made known the
facts to that minister of the law, who
issued warrant for the arrest of the
parties. Tongue proved conclusive
" the ownership of the horse, which
was delivered up to him by Mr.. Du-
veil, who was out Of pocket Just $25
and the price of shoeing the horse,
by his little speculation. In the
meantime the horse thief had flown,
to parts unknown, but the officers of
the law are upon bis track.

THE policy ofPresident Cleveland's
Administration, says an exchange, in
recognizing the right of the Southern
States to participation in the prefer
ments of the Government, after so
long political hiatus, cannot but be
regarded as healthy sign of the
times. He has wisely selected for
high public trusts some of the eminent
men of that section, who will undoubt-
edly reflect honor upon the country
and do credit to themselves. 1t is
also measure of satisfaction that the
gentlemen who have received home
and foreign appointments are men
fully abreast of the new order of
things, and who recogaize the prog
ress incident to the changes of the
last twenty years. It is high time
that the dead past should bury its
dead, and that sectional differences
should be entirely obliterated from
the politics Of the Republic
1t is also noticeable that President
Cleveland pays due regard to the In
stitution of the civil service, bcliev-
ing that Office is not the mere reward
of partizauship, and living up fully to
his apborism that "public office is a
public trust"

THE TRIBUNE sanctions, with all good
citizens, the saloon, and wishes them
god-speed in their GRAND of love and
