many articles were carried off Without

der the circumstances. Their closing
out was not surprise, but came sooner
than was anticipated.

THE DECKER.

The letter of "JEEMs" LEGATE to the
Republican committees not only FULL of
worldly wisdom but shows up an amount
of it on the part of defeated Blaineites
which it would appear to the average
locker on, should have secured the OBJ
ject for which it was projected. JEEMs
is not unknown to fame and the student
of the political history of the country
will not fail to recognize JEEMs as the
| Identical nobleman who was so conspic-
uously mixed up as intervenor and gen.
eral go-between when S. G. PoMERoY late
| senator from Kansas, was approached
on the subject of his sale and self
delivery at the time of ANDREW JOHN
SONS impeachment to the warm and
earnest friends of that late public func-
| tionary. In the case referred to Pom
| ERoY met q gentleman "dona ferens''
in apark in Washington City in earnest
| conference. a certain note signed in
the handwriting of S. G. p. was torn up
in said park and JEEMs gathered up the
fragments. From that time for years
afterwards the hero senator of the
gilded age was the friend of JEEMs in
most of his financial successes.
Nearly twenty years have rolled by
and JEEMs is tho same fellow in the
same trade. He is negotiator. This
time he seems to have had but indifIer-
ent luck, yet he was the same rollick-
ing, good-natured, clever JEEMs he had
been when in tho bloom of youth. His
references would indicate Willingness
on the part of Sr. JOHN to sacrifice him
self to bronchial disease, provided he
had about $4,000 to pay the Doctors bill
and no tardy disposition on the part of
the Republican committee to
stand the racket. But "the
best laid schemes OF mice and men,"
etc. How scholarly does JEEMs appear
with his "omnia genus" and what n
pity it was that the effort to remove OBJ
struciion from the pathway to glory and
tho White house was not more success
full! Never mind, JEEMs, some twenty
or thirty years more there may DO an
other chance to play a royal game, and
in the meantime you can console your
self for the loss of the big fish you an
gled for by hooking the pantry OF the
Kansas legislature. JEEMs is gifted
and companionable, thoroughly CONVEX
SAINT with affairs of state, and had
BLAINE been elected, would doubtless
have been sent abroad.

UNCLE DANIEL has lived in Texas ever
since this state was worthy of notice; he
has had no use for n pistol, because he
wanted TO killno one, and no ono wanted
to kill him. 1t is only the desperate and
tho outlaw who want pistols on their
persons, and the sooner they arc taught
that such practices are not in accord
