HAMLET REVIVED.

To draw, or not TO draw, that Is the question;
Whether tits safer In the player 10 take
The awful risk OF skinning for a straight;
Or, standing pat, to raise 'em all the limit,
And, by blufiing, to get IL, TO draw-to skin;
No more-and by that skin 10 get a null.
Or two pair, or the fattest bouncin' kings
That luck is heir tots a contamination
Devoutly 10 be wished. To draw, 10 skin;
Perohsnce TO bu'st-aye, there's the rub;
For in a draw of three what cards may come,
As we shuttle of the uncertain pack,
Must give us pause. There's the respect
Which makes calamity a bobtail flush.
For who would bear the Overwhelming blind,
The reckless straddle, the walt ON the edge,
The insoence of pat hands, and the lifts
That patient merit Of the buffer takes,
When he himself might be much better OF
BY simply passing? Who would trays uphold
And go out on a small progressive raises
But then the dread of something after call,
The undiscovered ace full, 10 whose strength
such hands must bow, puzzles the will,
And makes us rather keep the chips We have,
Than be curious about hands we know not OF.
And thus the native hue of a four-heart flush
Is sicklied with some dark and cursed club,
And spectators In a Jack-pot's wealth,
With this regard this interest turns away.
And loses the right TO open.

DEPPEN'S CLOTHING HOUSE,
Courtship and Marriage.

rev. II. W Dale.
With an honorable girl and an hon.
orable man, an engagement carries
with it something more than a few
sunny months of courtship. After
cOurtship comes marriage; after mar
riage comes the home. To describe the
reasons which to some young people
seem quite sufficient to justify them,
first in flirting, and then in getting
engaged" would answer no good pur-
pose. But putting aside the indirect
manner in which writers address their
readers. let me speak frankly to you, as
a friend to friend. Let me ask you to
consider what you must have in your
future husband, in your future wife, to
make it even tolerable to spend twenty
or thirty or forty years together. l
will not insist on the elements which
are necessary to the romantic perfec>
ton of married life; for most of us are
commonplace people, and life of ro-
nance is beyond our reach. There are
some very commonplace things you
ought to make sure of. Good sound
health is one thing; there are twenty
grave reasons for insisting on it. Next
to this should put perfect truthfulness;
the man who will lie to other people
will lie to his wife; the girl who will lie
to other people will lie to her husband
Next to truthfulness, temperance, in
dustry, and courage. Then fortitude ;
that is, the power to bear pain and
trouble without whining. Then I'M
seifishness; for the selfish man, the
selfish girl, though drawn out of selfish
ness in the early weeks of cOurtship,
will settle back into it again when the
wear and worry Of life comes on.
said just now the most of us are COM
mon.place people, and that life of ro-
nance is out of our reach; but believe
i'm "falling In love-" The imagination
should be kindled and the heart
touched; there should be enthusiasm
and even romance to the very end OF
life, or else the home is wanting i'm its
perfect happiness and grace. The
wonderful charm which makes the
wife more to the husband than all other
women, and the husband more to the
wife than all other men-this is neces-
sary to a happy marriage. But take
my word for it, those plain, solid vir-
tues Of which have spoken are indis-
pensable to the security and happiness
of home; and it is home you are
drifting to when you are drifting into
love.

Tho New Treasurer of the United
States.
The date of Mr.. Jordan's appoint
ment to succeed Albert u. Wyman as
Treasurer of the United States, was May
LIST. If the reader will take the trouble
to examine q Treasury note from his
"pile," he will find the Treasurer's
name at the time of its issue from
Washington, legibly written on it. On
and after the date May LIST, one of Mr..
Jordan's duties will be thus to adorn
new notes with his autograph. His
office is q highly responsible one. Its
incumbent is charged with the custody
of all public moneys received into the
Treasury at Washington, or in the sub
treasures at Boston, New York, Phila-
delphis, Baltimore, Charleston, Cincin-
natl, st. Louis and San Francisco, or in
the repositories and depository banks.
He disburses all public moneys upon
the warrants Of the Secretary of the
Treasury and upon the warrants of the
Postmaster General. Within the scope
of his duties are also the issue and re-
demption of Treasury notes. He is
agent for the redemption of the circu-
lating notes Of national banks, and OF
bonds held as security for public depos-
its is custodian Of Indian trust funds
and agent for paying the interest on
the public debt, and for paying the
salaries of the members of the House
of Representatives. Uncle Sam pays
the by no means extravagant salary OF
six thousand dollars year for the per-
formance Of these duties, which mani
testify requires an ability gained by long
experience and natural adaptation.
Mr.. Jordan has both. The greater
part of the fifty-two years of his life
has been spent in hanks or other finan.
cial centres. He began at the foot Of
the ladder in New York city, rising, in
his first place namely, at the Hanover
Bank, to be general book-keeper Of that
institution. His next engagement was
at bank in Fishkill. The Third Ma
tional Bank, New York, was started in
1864, with Mr.. Jordan as Cashier. In
1880 Mr.. Jordan became Treasurer OF
the New York, Ontario and Western
railroad, which position he resigned g
year ago. Since that time he has beer
working hard on a scheme, as yet un'
successful, looking to the establishment
of Clearing House, with operation,
covering the whole country. The bill
incorporating the company having the
matter in hand has not yet been passed
by the New York Legislature.
During his business career Mr.. Jor
dan has exhibited great ability in f.
nance. OF late, by the request Of Sec
rotary of the Treasury Manning, he ha
been engaged In the Specification o
the methods of the Treasures office
His ambition Is to present its affairs t
the public, that the average either
| will apprehend them clearly, and with
out difficulty.

The Federal Systsm.

The Americans have tried to organ
ize and regulate democracy. The
trainers Of the American Constitution,
no veil Of Illusion being spread before
their eyes by the surviving forms and
names Of an old monarchy,-saw
the problem which destiny had set be-
fore them. IL was not such a problem
as would he presented to them by the
America Of the present day, with its
New York and its Chicago. its food Of
foreign immigrants, aud its snfrslcbis-
ed negroes far less was ii such . prob
lem rs Great Britain, with the populace
of its great cities, its host of Radical
and Secularist artisans, its uninstruct-
ed millions of farm laborers, and its dis
affected Irishry, presents to the British
statesman. They had to deal only
with the Puritan free holders of New
England and the planters of the South.
Still they saw the necessity of provid-
Ing a solution, and a solution they
produced, one not In all respects cor
rect, even in its day, yet effective as
well rs deliberate, and such as has suf-
feed, notwithstanding the great in
crease Of the strain upon the ma
chinery, TO shelter civilization and
avert anarchy. They instituted an ex-
ecutive government invested with actu-
al power and existing independently of
parties in Congress, q real though sus-
pensive veto, Senate elected on aeon
sentative principle, q written constitu-
ton in the Keeping Of Supreme Court,
by which all powers and Jurisdictions
are strictly defined and limited, and
which can be amended only with the
deliberate consent of the nation at large
Besides, as was said before, the Federal
system itself, by locslizing questions
and breaking the sweep of agitation, has
a highly conservative effect. These
safeguards, with the political qualities
of the Anglo'Americsns and the Ger.
mans, prevent a catastrophe which
without them would certainly come.
But England has nothing like them.
She has nothing but an "sncient
throne" now stripped Of the last ves-
tige ofpoliticalpower, and an sristocrscy
which is evidently doomed, and, by its
struggles to retain Its obsolete privilege,
stimulates revolution. The only c,n-

1t seems as if America were peculiarly
susceptible to epidemic influences of a
mental kind. We hear of no other
country SO violently perturbed by
"waves" of temperance crusading,
religious revivals, velocipede crazes,
peiestrianism, and. finally, roller
skating, upon which latter pastime the
thoughts and feelings Of three -fourths
of the rising generation are at present
centered. In intensity and extent, the
roller skating mania has far exceeded
all its predecessors, and it must be
inferred, either that the psychological
contagium Is particularly strong, OIL
that the susceptibility of young Ameri.
ca to affective epidemic influences il
increasing.
Modern scientists of the "Psychical
Research school are putting forward
the theory of brain waves as possibly
potent element In the production O
panic fears and epidemic fashions and
feelings. The mind acts ''exoneurally,'
We are told, and the vibrating brain
cells of the enthusiastic roller skater
communicate their rhythmical pulsa
tions to the previously insensitiv,
spectator. Whatever the mechanism
there is certainly at present a mOrbidly
exaggerated passion for, and indulgence
in. roller skating. And the question
comes home to the physician, whethe
it is doing any physical or menta
harm.
On the whole, We are inclined to tax,
a rather lenient view of the presen
craze. Considerable inquiry has failet
to elicit any facts showing that role
skating, temporarily INDUCED in, doe
any harm to growing children, or pro
duces any diseases and injuries peculia
to the sport. Severe sicknesses hav
been known to result from violent ex
ercises in hot, ill-ventilated Kinks, ant
occasionally serious injuries are pro
duced by falls and collisions. Ii

Saloons in tn. South and in the North


Gov. st. John, since his return from
the South, confesses that the temper
ance work is further advanced in the
South than in the North. Mississippi

the same population, has over 5000 sa-
looms; Arkansas has ,S44 saloons, Cali
fornia, with about the same population,
has 9,369 saloons; old Bourbon Ken
lucky has 4, 461 saloons, and Ohio, 49,.
800. Startling as the statement may
be, in proportion to the population the

A Card.

To the IOters of Ohio County:
One month ago, in obedience to the
solicitations Of numerous friends, an
nounced myself a candidate for re-elec-
ton to the office of Representative from
Ohio county in the next General As
sembly, and confess to what trust
was pardonable ambition to serve my
county for one more term i'm that ca
pacity. Before announcing, however,
i learned that DIR. b Y. Patterson was
also DESTROYS of being candidate, and
meeting the Doctor in Hartford ut the
April County Court, We agreed to COM
promise or arbitrate our claims and to
that end. and with the view of saving
one OF US the worry and expense OF q
primary canvass, we submitted to four
gentlemen the question Of deciding
which one of us would, in their opinion,
make the strongest race before the
people at the August election, and that
question was decided in my favor and
the Doctor expressed his aequieseence
in the decision and announced to his
friends that he would not be q candi-
date. One week ago, however, he
strangely enough determined to recon-
slider his action and, without notice to
me, announced himself candidate for
Representative, subject to the decision
Of the Democratic primary election, on
the 18th of the present month. Should
that decision be adverse to him it re-
mains to be seen, whether with his
peculiar ideas of good faith, the Doctor
will submit.
/ find also that certain utterances Of
mine two years ago are now insisted on
as pledging me to single term. GER
tainly made no such pledge. at least /
did not intend to be so understood.
What did say, or at least intended to
say, was that in the event of my defeat
in that canvass l would never again be
candidate, but / am unwilling to
place myself in an attitude of even ap-
parent bad faith towards either the
public or aspiring gentlemen who wish
to succeed to my Office. For this
reason | decline being longer a candi-
date and hereby withdraw my name
from the race.
To the coal miners and their friends,
whose minds certain interested gentle-
men sought to poison against me for
my alleged delinquency in the matter
of the convict labor law, but who have
generously extended to me the most
convincing proofs of their continued
confidence and esteem. feel especially
thankful for their promised support, and
to my other friends throughout the
county who have manifested desire to
return HE for a second term, l likewise
return my thanks,
Conscious of the confidence and
friendship of my people, which 1 prize
above office. i. without regret, abandon
the race and retire to the quiet of my
country home. w. ID COLEMAN
