ONLY TOO TRUE.

fJohn Vance Cheney In The Insleside.!
No Flushing daughter of the morn
Can vie with her OF woman born;
No face at windows Of the spring
l, like a virgin blossoming.
Betwixt the blue lids OF the sky
No orb there mate5 n maid,n's eye;
Not mighty Mar unfaiIiny lance
Can match the mischief ofits glance.
Nature, how weak art thou to harm
As does a dear unslaevei arm!
Thy rocks would trickle into sand
With tin;les from dimpied hand
What swaying shapes Of sun or shade
Approach the motions of maid.
What snowy curve by winter traced
Ca tskc the taper Of her waistf
And that soft darkness of her hair.
Thy twilight shades-ah, their despairi
Not all the striving stars beguile
As may one memory of her smile
That foolish lips should speak SO wise,
Make merrinent from earth to skies;
Nav. Mature, drop n dewy tear
For solemn knowledys bought so dear.

THE last Current has sketch on "Orators I"

cal contests by unfedged collegians, suggests
revival of attention to pulpit and platform
eloquence. There is great deal Of humbug
nowadays in what we say of eloquent speak
ers. 1t is questionable whether the influence
of an orator remains the same as it was twenty
five years ago. A rich voice brought to the
atrical declaiming Of platitudes at times,
doubtless, stirs fair portion of hearers to a
responsive thrill of delight, but the speaker
who has something to say, and knows how to
say it, although his vocal culture may be in a
sad want of repairs, is liable to carry off a por-
ton Of popular applause. General Sherman is
not an orator. but there is an irresistible force
in what he says. General Grant never sought
oratorical t-iumphs, but the little speech he
made at Warren, O., in 1880, turned the tide
in favor of Garfield. His minutes utter

WE find in the Chicago Times an editorial
respecting the Illinois senatorial situation,
from which we clip these suggestive SEN
fences:
GAS the Times said yesterday, there has
been ground for the opinion that while the
two parties in the Legislature were evenly
divided, the Democrats, having the prestige
Of their national victory in November might
have counted upon the attraction of gravita-
ton to draw to them the force necessary for
the capture of the senatorship. The
pre-existing conditions are not yet changed in
any material sense by the lot-boxing in the
Thirty fourth district, and there is, therefore,
yet reason for the belief that the election of n
Democratic senator is not impossible.
The national administration needs the support
Of an Illinois Democrat in the Senate; the
party sees the practicability of supplying that
want and reasonably expects that there will
be no further delay in taking the steps re-
CURED to make the practicable an accom-
plished fact"
Stripped of all nonsense, this is direct as
sertion that the Democratic National admins
tration shall buy, by some means or other,
one or more Republican members Of the Gen
eral Assembly OF Illinois to vote for Demo
cratic candidate for United States senator.
What would be thought and said by the Gin
dependent" press, of which the Times claims
to be one if such a proposition were made by
the Republicans, the administration being Re-
publican. There never was more shameless
distribution of the spoils of Office suggested;
but such things seem to be regarded as per-
fectly proper and legitimate in reform
administration, and they are received without
a protest by the goody -goody mugwumps, who
have not yet managed to summon their al
administration has already done in lowering the
tone of the public service.

THE American Congress of Churches meets
today in Allyn's Hall, Hartford, Conn, and
will continue in session throughout three
days. 1t will be the first meeting of the organ
ization, which had its origin less than year ago.
but large and influential attendance is ex-
pected The first movement toward forming
this congress was The issue by the ministers Of the
churches of Pttsfield Mass. of a circular on the
four hundredth anniversary of the birthday of Luz
Their. This circular, addressed to ministers of all
denominations, contained an invitation to them to
meet at Pittsfeld on June 1S last to consider
plans for harmonizing the efforts of the various
churches in Christian work. The Pttsfeld
meeting was a small one, ard attracted little at
tention, but a permanent organization was eff
fected, and the work begun. The plan provides
for a council Of twenty five, self-perpetuating,
composed of clergymen and laymen, and repre-,
senting as many denominations ard as many
different parts of the country as possible, as
to be unsectarian and national in character.
The Hon. Justin Dewey, an eminent lawyer
of Great Darlington, Mass, is chairman, and
the Rev. DR.. William WHEREFORE Newton,
of Pittsfeld, is secretary of the council.
The congress does not aim at forming new sect,
or formulating new creed or promulgating q
plan of UNCONVENTIONAL union. Its object is to
provide for the discussion of vital church topics,
in order that UNCONVENTIONAL beliefs may be de-
fined aud understood, and the various churches
enabled to work tremendously for the end which
all have in view The governing council is not
chosen by any churches, nor is it responsible to
any. nor will it impose its judgments upon any.
Indeed, it is standing rule that at meetings of
the council of the general congress, no vote
shall ever be taken on any topic of discussion.
Governor Harrison, of Connecticut, an Episco-
palian, will preside over the meetings this week,
and the list of speakers embraces the names of

IT is ungenerous to find fault with the New
York World because it has doubtless reaped
benefits in the way of increased subscriptions
while raising fund to complete the pedestal
for Bartholdi's great statue. Even though the
World started in with this idea, it cannot be
fairly criticised. We dc not know that it has
claimed any glory in the work it has under
taken and, if it does it well, there is no ground
for complaint. Never look gift horse in the
mouth. Nor is it fair to sheer at the suscrib-
ers, and say that they give mite only because
they may thereby see their names in print
At any rate it remains of record that every
plan had failed until the World tried the one
that now seems in a fair way to succeed.

SOME people are so unmindful of reform ad

Maine prohioitl" The Rev. Charles F. Thurny
has given in long article to the affirmative
side the assurance that prohibition has been an
eminently successful experiment., while on tho
other hand the New York Post lays aside m ug-
wumpery for the time being, to annihilate the
reverend gentleman with examples Of illegal
liquor traffic in Maine. Swiftly in the line of
the Posts argument comes news of a possible
fatal defect in the Iowa law. There seems to
be no record of the passage of the law in the
journal of the lower house, and on this the de-
tense in recent suits against Iowa liquor dealers
place great hopes, particularly as they claim the
question is identical with that which caused the
annulling of the constitutional amendment.

THE indignation of the medical world over
the jeers and jbes cast by an irreverent press
and public at General Grants doctors is some
thing tremendous, if the remarks of the pro-
fessional journals indicate anything. The
physicians themselves also profess great an
noyance at the enforced notoriety they are
obtaining by the appearance of their names in
the newspapers. 1t will be remembered, how
ever, by the observant and critical public, that
these protests from the medical gentlemen did
not come until after the comments became
unfavorable. So long as the verdict that
Grant was at the point of death was accepted,
and, in accordance Herewith, the patient
seemed to grow steadily worse, no objection
was made by the physicians to the wide pub
lcity which was given to their names Only
when the refractory General proceeded to put
their prophecies of immediate dissolution to
naught, and the country to poke fun at them,
did outraged dignity and modesty manifest
themselves. There is no cause for fear, how
ever, that distinguished invalids will lack
medical attendance, owing to dread of con-
sequent notoriety on the part of practitioners
In spite of their shrinking fear of free adver-
Using, stern sense of duty-to Themselves
will forbid the regular disciples of the healing
art to ignore call from the General of the
army, or even the President himself.
