PICTURE FRAMES.
Five Children at One Time.

A remarkable story comes from Henry
county, Ohio, just west of Toledo, which,
if it were not thoroughly substantiated,
would be almost incredible 1t is to the
effect that several days ago the wife of
Wilhelm Freund, German farmer liv-
ing about half a mile from Holgate, gave
birth to five children, all boys, and that
all the infants are well-formed and alive.
When the correspondent investigated he
found that the event is but one of SER
les that have happened in this interest
ing family. Mrs. Freund is SO years of
age, and during her nineteen years of
married life has given birth to twenty
one children, eighteen of whom are now
alive. The other three lived to various
ages over year. The mother is describ-
ed as a comely German woman, rawbon-
ed end spare, and the father short and
solid, but not portly. This happy couple
i've on small farm which the husband
tills with the assistance of progeny.

After a while Sir Maingay almost forgot

down to continental life for an indefinite
time. Lady Clauson knew she was hnprov-

they did return to England. In the course of
the four years spent abroad, Lady Clausop

Pressed her lips upon the childs golden

Pressed her lips upon the chitds golden
head.
OF the child, little boy, there was nothing
that could be seen except q mass Of bright
golden hair. The woman had wound thick
woolen shawl around him, and held him close
to her bosom. He was no annoyance to any
one, for, shortly after the train started, he
fell fast asleep. Indeed, 70 inoRensive were
his travelling companions, that the gentleman,
who had felt somewhat disgusted when
woman and a child entered the compartment,
began to hope that, after all, he need not shift
his quarters at the first stoppage.
The train sped on through the white fog.
1t was fast train, but not 50 fast a. to give
itself airs and decline stopping more than
twice in hundred miles. Near Reading the
speed slackened. The gentleman with the
book breathed an inward prayer that he
might not be disturbed. He did not notice
that, AZ the train drew up at the platform,
the woman half rose from her scat, a. II her
journey was at an end; then, after . mo-
ment's hesitation, reseated herself In her
former attitude. The travellers were not
disturbed. The train shot on once more.
Still the gentleman read his book-still the
silent woman held the sleeping child.
In less than half an hour Didcot was
reached. The woman, after . quick glance,
to assure herself that tho reader was lAtent
upon his book, pressed her lips upon ths
childs golden head, and kept them there
until the train stopped For minute or
two she remained motionless, then, laying
the child on the seat, rose quickly and opened
the carriage door, Tho reader looked up a
the cold, damp air rushed into tho heated
compartment.
"You have no time to get out" he said

II she heard the well-meant caution she
paid no heed to It. She made no reply, but,
stepping on to the platform, closed the car
riage door behind her. The young man
shrugged his shoulders, and resumed his In.
terrupted paragraph. It was no business Of

On the night when the down train carried

oak hall table. The lantern Of many colorei
glass over his head threw rich, warm tdnts on
his sunny hair. He seemed In no way shy or
terrified; indeed, II any fault could be found
in his bearing, II was that his manners were
more familiar than such short acquaintance
justified. As the dignified brothers once more
bent over him to resume their examination,
he seized Mr.. Herbert's watch chain in his
chubby fist and laughed delightedly--a laugh
which Mr.. Mordle echoed. He had long looked
for suitable excuse for expressing his feel
ings in this way. The situation was 70 funny.

The child had such large, bright blue eyes,
such wonderful golden hair, such fearless and
confident ways, that Herbert, who was fond
Of children, patted the bright head and pulled

The Presidents inaugural.

That the mugwump press would applaud Mr..
Cleveland's inaugural address was to be expect
ed. He is their President. and their ideal States
man. They were bound to cheer him to the
echo, no matter what sentiments he uttered. 1t
l. somewhat surprising, however. to find that
these mugwump editors bestowed their praise
III such fashion a. to indicate that they had not
read the address. They say, with great una
nimity, that Mr.. Cleveland has declared hi,
opinions III unmstakablc terms on all the lead
ing questions of the day, or words to that effect ;
whereas be does not express decided opinion
upon any vital issue, and does not refer at ali
to the silver question, our need of Il navy, or
the issue of protection vs.. free trade. while hi,
references TO the finances and taxation are so
guarded as to afford indication Is to his real
sentiments or the direction of his policy If
these mugwump on cans had been content to
praise the President for what he did say, il
would have been all that could be expected of
them. and they might have endorsed some GOOD
Republican doctrine. Civil service reform was
originated and carried into effect by Republican
administrations; 1.-THE protection of the freed
men in their rights is surely not Democratic
plank; the repression of poygamy and The
shutting out of servile labor are matters which
have engaged the attention and commanded the
support of Republicans, while fealiv to the
Constitution is brand-new Democratic idea
OF the gliltering generalities of which the in
augnral is mainly made up it may be truly said
that they are mainly echoes of Republican plat
forms.
1t would be interesting tc know what the
Democratic organs really think of this remark
able addre>S-re that is for its brevity
and for what it does not contain Their praise
can only be perfuncory, for like sentiments
when uttered by Republicans have excited their
wrath and encountered their bitter st OPPOSE
ton. Mr.. Cleveland before hi, inauguration
expressed himself very clearly on the silver
question, and his opinions on this subject are
those e: most Republicans; but Il m ajoritv of
his par in the House sat dow.l heavily upon
the Presdent-elect. Does he express the SEN
timepts of his party with regard to civil service
reform! That question may well be left to
answer itself. Does the solid South which
with the aid of fraud in New York, elected Mr.
Cleveland, agree with him that the freedman
should be protected in their rghts.' The
President says that polygamy must go; but it is
Democratic sympathy and support that have
maintained this blot upon our civilization. The
President demands simplicity and economy; ;
and tie answer is found in the costly pageantrv
which marked his Inauguration. So far as the
President has outlined policy it is good one :;
but it is not the policy of a majority of the
Democratic party, and there is no reason to be-
leve that he will be able to carry it out. We
very much doubt whether he will even attempt
to do so.

Mr.. David o. Foye, of Bath, who was men
toned in the Boston Journal the other day as a
candidate for the post office in that city, writes
a letter of denial to that journal, in which he
administers the following well deserved re-
buke to those too previous Democrats who are
circulating petitions for appointments to offices
not yet vacant: "When," he says, 81 cannot
get living any other way, l will call upon
him lCleveland and not go around with a
petition for signatures, as some of the Green
hackers and Democrats of three months stand
ing arc now doing" Probably these Demo-
Gratis Of three months standing will call Mr..
Foye a "Mossback," but the recruits who
joined the Democracy for office will hardly be
allowed to displace the old guard who have
been Democrats these many years from prin-
ciple-or lack of it.
