CIeveIand's Bonds.

Theories prevailing in relation to the
political institutions ofA country are often
greatly at variance with tho facts. In
England theory says the queen rules, but
actually 1t is the ministry. In this conn-
try theory says the majority governs, but
really it is the minority. 1t happens in
this way: there is, and for many years has
been, nearly an equal division of parties
on leading questions, but the location Of
tho voters has been such that the prepon-
deranco Of congressional votes and Of cleo
toral votes has been one way while the
preponderance Of popular votes has been
the other way. Take tho last election,
A plurality of 1,l0O votes in New York
gave Cleveland 10 electoral votes while a
plurality Of 10000 in Maine gave Blaine
but electoral votes. Had l,2OO Of the
Blaine voters in Maine expressed their
wishes through tho ballot-boxes Of New
York, Blaine would have become Prosl-
dent and Cleveland would now be gov
ernor of New York, But this is not all.
On election day it was stormy in New
York, aud Blaine having larger mum Der
of men in poor health than Cleveland, who
were physically unable to leave their
homes without danger, lost more than
votes enough from this cause to have car-
ried New York, and hence the result was
changed by this circumstance alone. Tn &
majority was not able to express itself
in the way provided by law, and &c
tho minority won the election, and
are able to change tho whole vast
machinery Of the government, and car
establish policy entirely contrary
to the actual wishes OF a majority of the
citizens Had there boen ingenuity enough
in the people or craftsmanship Of Now

POEMS BY WINTHROP NJ PRAED. Two
volumes Ia one. Revised aud complete
edition By Rev. DEiNENr CuLERIDGE New
York; White stokes 4 Allen. Washington:
Vim. Balantyne ~ Son.
Although in his society verse he sings
Of the society Of forty years ago, and al
though the times and manners have
changed, yet the feelings that are ox-
pressed or concealed by these manners
remain much the same, and tho name Of
Praed Is rs familiar TO the readers of that
light and frothy literature known as UerS
desocieieas the more recent ones of Locker,
Calvorloy, or Dobson. Indeed, they all
more OF less echo his song, and initiate
the somewhat antiquated flavor that for ms
one of its charms. To those who only
know him by his poems IL is some
thing of a surprise to find that Praed was
brilliant ossayist, statesman, and an
orator, and cynic might comment some-
what bitterly on the fact that his serious
efforts are forgotten, while tho poems,
which were the casual recreations of his
leisure hours, have long survived him.
But IL was in them that the real image OF
his life was reflected, for from the time
no entered Eton as schoolboy until the
close of his short but active life he wrote
verses on all possible occasions. Many of
these poems of occasion are of only n
passing interest, and with the occasion
the interest has disappeared. But they
arc all alike characterized by the
same distinguishing marks Of graceful
and pleasing vcrsi6cation, of dainty and
elegant style, Of sparkling wit aud genial
humor aud occasional touches OF pungont
SATIRE though without the slightest flavor
of ill-naturc. Wo sec in his poems society
reflected as in n mirror, aud we see that
people forty years ago were much the same
that they arc to-day. They had the Same
loves and hates, the same aims and pur-
poses, and under the light exterior of con-
yentionality the same undercurrent OF
strong natural feeling There are many
quotable poems, but enc of tho best known
gives. perhaps, better example of Praed's
characteristics than any other il is 'rhe
Belle of the Ball. and will be recalled by
the last two verses
our love was like most other loves
| A little glow, u little shivGr
A rosebud and Il pair Of gloves,
And "Ay not yet upon the river;
Some jealousy of someone's hoir,
Some hopes of dying broken.hcarted,
a miniature, lock of hair,
The usual vows-and then We parted.
We parted-months aud years rolled by;
We met again four summers ntter'
our parting was all sob aud sigh
Onr meeting was all mirth aud laughterj

IN ordering war vessels to the Central
American coasts the administration has
done we'll. 1t is likely that Barrios has
already found in the determined prepara-
tonA made by San Salvador, Nicaragua,
and Costa Rica to resist his insolent pre-.
tensions, backed up by Mexico's formid-
able menace, good reason for the present
abandonment of his designs. If he has
not fully done SO the gathering of our
men-of-war in tho neighborhood of his
proposed field OF operations must suffice
to convince him that power that could
easily crush him views his plans with
disfavOr. and he would hardly venture to
risk coming into contact with the United
States. If it shall become apparent that
the influence of the United States has
been the determining factor in prevent
ing tho threatened war, it cannot fail to
afford unmixed satisfaction TO tho Presi-
