ladies of the Christian church to make
it an annual affair." NESTHOUSE

A Sad Parting,

One of the revolutions of the politi-
cal wheel OF fortune brought to the sur
face the nomination of a successor to
the Hon. s. b. Packard, United States
consul at Liverpool. When it became
known in that great emporium that
Mr.. Packard, who had been consul
nearly seven years, had to go, ban
quet and presentation were of course
arranged in his honor. The affair took
place May %, and was u model Of its
kind. There were toasts and responses,
and q handsome service of silver with
an illuminated address was presen T.
ed to the retiring officer. The mayor
| made speech that overfiowed with
good will towards America, and closed
| as follws: mo better. example could
| be given of the closeness of the con-
nection between our countries than the
| fact Of your coming here aud finding q
family still extant in Ipswich from
which you are descended"
I It really seems almost q pity to
break up such pleasant associations.
Mr.. Packard, however, had the requis-
ite philosophy. In making his ac-
acknowledgements he referred incident
ally to the result of last falls election
aud said: myself and my friends,
Who are about to walk the plank, will
gracefully hand over to our successors
the archives which we hold aud the
duties which we perform" Regard
ing the delicate and arduous nature of
those duties he had also something to
say, and after reading his remarks one
is quite willing to believe that United
States consul at an important port
really occupies very responsible and
laborious position. This impression is
perhaps strengthened by the following
dispatch from Mr.. Bret HaIte, United
States consul at Glasgow, which was
read to the assembled guests:
II deeply regret that urgent work
for the press prevents me from attend
ing the Packard banquet"
We have 6een only one consular re-
port from 1he pen of Mr.. Harte. 1t
was mass of statistics regarding the
industrial interests of Glasgow and its
swarming operatives. These statistics
were ruthlessly assailed by some in
cipient political economists, who insin-
uated that Mr.. Harte's figures didn't
add up right. as though he was apply
ing the Poker Flat system of mathe-
matics to problems of commerce and
population. Taken in connection with
the above dispatch, however, the re-
port offered strong evidence tending tO
prove that Mr.. Harte is hard at work
for the press. The attention of Mr..
Secretary Bayard is called to the fact
that though Mr.. Packard has been re-
tired under the full blaze of an illumi-
mated address, Mr.. Harte is still SO dill
gently working at his post that he has
no time to go gadding about the coun-
try attending banquets.- Republican.

He Stakes His Fate.

The uncommonly bold wager made
last week by the Hon. Billee ChandIer
i at Concord, and recorded in preaence
OF the Amoskeag Veterans, has not ra-
ceived all the attention 1t deserves.
/ Mr.. Chandler assured the applaudinr
Veterans that the four cruisers for
| which he and John Roach are mainly
responsible-namely, the Dolphin. the
Boston, the Chicago, and the Atlanta
-"will prove successful in every re-
spect; war vessels Of which the country
will be proud, and which will compare
favorably with the best ships OF any
nation." II am willing" he added,
with deliberate and solemn emphasis,
'.to stake my fate on the result.h
Chandler's fate is at present an un-
known quantity, but certainly he could
not have registered any more tremend-
GUS VOW. Not merely his life, or his repu-
tation, or his fortune, Is the pledge
which the ex-Secretary has placed at
the mercy of future events over which
he can exercise no direct control. He
stakes his fate, W hich means the whole
course of his existence from this time
on. here and hereafter, on the success
of the plans, designed by Chandler,s
own Naval Advisory Board, on John
Roach's disposition to keep faith with
the Government, and on the same In
dividual's ability to build ships as good
as any in the world.
How the Amoskeag veterans. hard
eued as many of them are, must have
shuddered when they heard the awful
wager!
The Hon. Billee Chandler's greater
namesake, the late lamented Zacha-
riah, had habit, as some of his sur
viving friends doubtless remember, Of
consigning his soul to everlasting per-
dition on the slightest provocati ton and
as future contingent in matters of
even trifing Importance. Yet we
never heard that he was venturesome
enough to stake his fate ON the seago-
ing qualities of any of Roach's war

The old gold fever seems to still in

their steps languid-their whole man.

and an associate of the Seven Wise
Men Of that period. But by close OBJ
servatfon such momentary hallucina-
tions were dispelled. 1t has long been
a custom among those who desire spec
linens, those who hope to earn "bit," 4"
and those who enjoy the mild excite
ment of searching for gold, to turn out
after heavy rain and look for the
precious metal. Young, old, green
horns and "experts" listed and sought.
Some even went so far as to turn out
their chickens in the not altogether
vain hope of realizing something by
dissecting their craws. Even I de-
scended from my usual dignity and
high position as editor of the leading
fashion weekly and farming journal of
the Pacific coast to seek the stuff that
is the base of the root 0: all evil and

mud knee-deep, through the drizzling
rain.
And tho our ranksiwere disjointed

By the vulgaire.
We were not at all darlnted,
Nor yet even haunted,
With despair.
And the revenge of the taunted

The Lovers Sweetest Music.

Sweet are the carols of feathered throats
When the day has opened its eye;
Sweet, o sweet are the tremulous notes
OF the young mothers lullaby.
Sweet to the lover when the night comes
down,
As he stands in the shadows dim,
Is the rustling faint of his ladv's gown
AS she comes down the lane to him.
But a sweeter music to him than this
Oh! the sweetest under the sun
Is the low faint tone of the maiden's "yes''
Which tells that her heart is won.

mansion, valued at 100000. It is the house
that was purchased by some of Gen. Grants
friends and presented to Mrs. Grant, but went
with all the rest Of their property in the Grant
Ward crash. There was mortgage of
100000 on the property which the creditors
would not allow to be taken up as 1t had term
Of years to run at a good interest, so that sum
was placed in Grant & Wards bank to Mrs.
Grants credit at the time of the purchase to
pay off the mortgage whenever it should fall
