A Child's Garden of Verses.

This little volume, "a Chids Garden of
Verses" by Robert Louis Stevenson Charles
Scribners Sons, New York;, as its name indicates,
is book of poems adapted to children. Their very
simplicity commends them, and they are whole
poem entitled ''The Little Land" which begins:
When at home alone sit
And am very tired oft,
have Just to shut my eyes
To go sailing through the skies
To go sailing far away
To the pleasant Land of Play;
10 the fairy land affair
Where the little people are
Where the cover-tops trees,
And the ran-pools arc the SEAS
And the leaves like little ships
Sail about on tiny trips;
And above the daisy tree
Throu oh the grasses,
High o'erhead the humble bee
HUNS and passes.
''My Bed is Boat" is another pretty CON
ception, readily understood and appreciated by
children:
My bed is like little boat;
Nurse helps me in when | embark;
She grds me in my sailors coat
And starts me in the dark.
At night go on board and say
Good night to ali my friends on shore;
shut my eyes and sail away
And see and hear no more.
And sometimes things to bed take
As prudent sailors have to do;
Perhaps slice of weddng-cake;
Perhaps toy or two.
Ali night across the dark steer;
But when the day returns at last,
Safe in my room beside the pier
find my vessel fast.
The other poems are of like character, and
we'll calculated to entertain little people in the
way they should be. Sold by the Bowen Merrill

THE WORLD OF LITERATURE.
The Bad Boy at Home.

The time devoted by Walter II. Gray to the
composition of this book might have been better
spent at any other occupation, however trivial.
The reading world and the oncoming generation
would be better off had Mr. Gray spent that
time at playing croquet, or fishing, or teaching
dog to do tricks in 1caping and barking. The
book is beneath puerity; it is positively idiotlc
in its insipidity What is intended for sprightly
and even boisterous humor is the --LATEST idiocy.
The authors assurance in putting such
verbal trash before the public is appall-
ing, and to label it humorous is
as much misnomer as to call
stale Goldfish mountain trout. There is not a
page, nor a line, from cover to cover, that con-
tains the first element of decent humor. Its
'jokes" are bald with age; its saes the stupidest
coarseness. The book cheap 25-cent paper
edition. is not worth moments consideration
on its merits But there are other reasons for
its notice. The very worthlessness OF books OF
this class renders them dangerous, and it is time
that public condemnation put an end to their
publication A man might force himself to read
such rot without special harm, and no particular
effect beyond acquiring hearty contempt
for the author of such trash. But the
boys, can never be fully comprehended. Unable
to detect the stupidity of the tricks and the
element of impudence and harm in them, there
are many boys who would be- encouraged to imi-
tate them, in the belief that such things are
Smart or "cute" The antics of this "bad
boy" are strained, unnatural and coarse. No
bright, self-respecting boy would be guilty OF
such; but, as we have said, there are boys who
might be encouraged to initiate them, to the
harm of himself and all concerned There is
too much of this kind of literary rubbish in cir
culation The transitory success attending the
publication of the doings of 'Pecks Bad Boy"
has, as might have been expected, en-
couraged others to enter the field until
now the country is burdened with
the inanity of self-conceited scribblers.
There is abundance of good things in literature
for the amusement and edifcation of the young
and from these they should draw their mental
pabnlum. The book under consideration here is
utterly unfit to read and should find no encour-
agement

Mr. HENDRICKS has made another humili
humilating to another man of his ability. OF
late years the -presdenthas appeared before
his fellow-citizens of indianapolis only to con-
firm the impression that the Democratic party
and the Nation are to be congratulated because
of the defeat of his ambition at Chicago last
year. The rhlegmatic and fat-witted man
from New York is undoubtedly better and
safer chief executive than Mr.. Hendricks
could ever have made The satisfaction felt
over the fact that Mr. Hendricks did
not become President is marred in
Indiana by the humiliation felt over
his repeated exhibitions of unftness for the
place he occupies He has never yet risen
above the low level Of substituting 1t has
cupied his thoughts to The exclusion Of every
thing else. This he never fails to confess, and

anees, is that it is in his power to reward the
faithful and apportion the spoils. This is
Mr.. Hendrickss refrain. 1t has been sung

gained ground that he repeats i

dreams The shame Of this low estimate

THE Secretary of the Navy is right in in
sisting upon careful examination of the
vessel now in the hands of John Roach, which
he has built for the government. If it is
worthless, or fatally defective, it should be
rejected But at the same time, every en-
couragement should be given the American
builders, and if some slight alterations will
make the craft all right it should be promptly
accepted. Spite should have no voice in a
question of so much importance.

The Brooklyn Union, mugwump, is full of
sympathy for the President in the "crucial
time through which he is now passing, and
suggests various methods by which he may
avoid, in some measure, the prosecutions of
offce-seekers. The Union however, seems to
have but little faith in its own prescriptions,
for it adds sorrowfully: Gwen with such de-
vices as these, it seems likely that his whole
term may be consumed in the labor of making
appointments, and that he will have little
time to give to other and more important
executive duties" During the past twenty
five years Presidents have found time to
attend to the wants of all applicants, and to
perform many more important executive du-
ties in addition; but the reason was, perhaps,
the fact that Republicans were not so hungry
and thirsty, not to say ravenous, for position
Or it may be that the Presidents were of a
different sort

THIRTEEN competent clerks in the railway
mail service between New York and Pittsburg
have been discharged without cause assigned.
Wise postal clerks have secured, or have
sought to secure for themselves other situa-
tions, without regard to the soft words of Mr..
Villas, who assured them that they would not
be disturbed Others with more faith will be
led, by this wholesale decapitation, to fol
low their example. 1t is the best course fol
them, but the public, which likes its mail de-
livered promptly, will have to suffer for their
sakes

APPOINTMENT CLERK HIGGINS has, it is
said, obtained the names Of all the clerks in the
Treasury Department who went to their re-
spective homes to vote for Blaine, and also
the names of all who contributed to the Re-

flied to decide what constitutes offensive par
tisanship," that man is certainly Mr.. Ballot

THE amount of work in the department of
the First Assistant Postmaster general is said
to be sufficient to break down the constitution
of even strong man who should undertake it.
A large number of able-bodied men, however
have each indicated willingness to fill the
deadly breach in the probable event of Mr..
Hays resignation. Such is Democratic pa
triotism that the faithful brethren are willing
to take office though it Stay them.

Il A DEMOCRAT, writing from the Thirty
fourth legislative district in Illinois, gives a
clew to the loss of that Democratic stronghold,
and the election of the Republican candidate,
resulting in the election of General Logan.
He says: II am a resident of the Thirty
fourth Illinois senatorial district, and, like
many others whom I know, abstained from
voting in the late election because the Demo
cratic party does not seem to constitute fac
tor of any Importance in politics at present. >
He is evidently Hendricks Democrat, for Of
flee only, and doesn't propose to stand By De-
mocracy unless Democracy stands by him.
He proposes to make one hand wash the other.

THE Republican postmaster at Martinsville
has been suspended because of offensive par
tisanism" His offense consists Of having
been the editor of Republican paper. The
man appointed to succeed him is the editor of
a Democratic paper there. The President it
may be remarked, has one of the most dis
eliminating minds of the age.

THE Democratic members of the New York
Legislature have issued a manifesto condemn
ing the Republicans relative to the census
bill. They begin with the assertion that the
Democratic party is in popular majority in
that State, which is not true by some DO, 000
The arraignment is therefore fatally faulty.

A Question of Postoffices.

New York Evening Post (Mugwump).
In word, what is it in the Democratic view
of postoffices which makes it desirable that when
a Democratic administration comes into power
the postmasters should be Democrats If there
be a Democratic way of managing postoffces,
the country ought to know what it is, and it
ought TO be an issue at the elections.
