The Republicans are sending out a silly
and almost funny rumor from Washing
ton to the effect that the Democrats are
becoming alarmed on account of Blalne's
reception in Pennsylvania, and that they
are considering the propriety of getting
the President to follow the plumed knight,
and so get up counter enthusiasm. The
Democrats know just how Blaine thun.
der is manufactured, and there is no
probability that ne will do much more
harm in Pennsylvania than he did last
month in Maine.

The Republican managers are by no
means hopeful with regard to the future.
OF course they put on as brave front as
il possible, but they NO longer find them
selves able to play creditable bluff
game. Gen. Simon Cameron, OF pennsvl-
vania, VINO is now simply an observer,
and who has a good deal of candor in his
makeup, said 10 correspondent the
other day: "There is no doubt that New
York will be the battle-ground therefore
the party managers must consider toe
question OF expediency. A mistake Will
cost us the last chance for years. II the
Democrats carry the next election, they
are likely to stay. This term is expert

Mayor OF New York by Tammany, ard
his Endorsement by the County Democ-

s0liditied Democratic party for 1883.

Pool Betting Must Co

The success of the New York State Off
cials in breaking up pool selling will no
doubt encourage those of other States to
more zeal in the endeavor to put an end
to the pernicious practice. For long
time it was not believed to be possible to
suppress pool selling in New York, and
the law was openly defjed until a few
months ago. Even after the prosecution
of offenders was begun, the officers were
laughed at, and boasts were freely made
that convictions could never be secured.
1t has been found out, however, that the
law is only a dead letter when the off.
Gals and grand jurors, who are sworn to
enforce 1t, neglect to do their duty, or do
it In a half-hearted manner. Pool selling
has been practically suppressed In New
York, and the pool gamblers have prao-
tically retired from the business or quit
the State altogether. What has been done
in New YORK can be done elsewhere. In
this State there is some doubt as to
whether pool selling is covered by our
gambling laws. This question ought TO
be looked into by the General Assembly.
and If the laws are not sufficiently COM
prehensive they ought to be amended, and
be made TO cover the offense so as not to
admit of shadow OF doubt on the sub
ject.
There is a growing sentiment through
out the country Ia opposition to all forms
OF gambling. Especially is this true as
to those forms which are INDUCED in at
large public gatherings. Pool selling is
usually conducted openly; and it is often
very demoralizing in its effects. II ought
to be suppressed everywhere, and espe-
cially ought it 10 be banished from Geor-
gia.

A Wall Street Candidate.

MI. stephen '. White, who has been
nominated for Congress in the Third New
York district Brooklyn is one of the
great Spectators of Wall street. 1t may
be that he Will make a good Congress
man, but the chances are that he Will not.
A man who has devoted the best years of
his life to stock gambling, and whose
chief aim seems to be to increase
his already vast fortune by that
method is hardly the sort of
a man to devote his whole time to pro-
noting the best interests of the country.
If he had retired from Wall street, and
desired to round up his career by term
or two in Congress, the case would be diff
ferent. There is no statement, however,
that he proposes to leave Wall street. in
fact. his operations there, if reports are
to be credited, have been on grander
scale during the past few months than
ever before.
1t may be that the Republicans nomi-
mated him with the hope that he will con-
tribute literally to the campaign fund.
If that is the case it is not probable that
they will be disappointed. Mr.. White is
not only very rich but very liberal.
He has wandered about the country a
great deal. He was born in North Caro-
lima and educated in Illinois. He was
newspaper reporter in Missouri and law
yer and judge in Iowa. He finally set
tied down in Brooklyn and began the
practice of the law there. He soon dis
covered, however, that he had a faculty

When the message of Mayor Hillver,
of Atlanta, was read in the Council the
other night, vetoing the ordinance giving
the brewery the right to sell beer In the
city, Councilman Angler moved that the
ordinance be passed over the veto. In the
course of his remarks he said: '"ThIs
Council was not asked to revise, amend
and enlarge and extend and put riders
upon the work of the Legislature. The
Mayor says we can't change the prohibi.
ton law. True, but we can let it alone.
just as the people decreed at the ballot
box. We ought not to prohibit what the
State does not prohibit. This ordinance
makes the bare possession. the naked
custody, penal. Under the State law
there must be an overt act of a complete
sale TO be an ofense. Ihurl back the i'm
putation that Capt. Rob Falhgant, or
other honorable men from Savannah,
Augusta or elsewhere, put things in the
State law to make 1t obnoxious. That
charge of the Mayor is grouudless and an
insult to chiyalric gentlemen. | deny

A GLOVE.

All, yesterday / found glove
Grown shabby, full or tiny rips,
But dear to me because my love
Once through 1t thrust her ingertips.
A glove one would not care to see
Upon his arm in public street:
Yet here own there is for me
No relic In the world more sweet.
A faint, far scent of lavender
steals from it, as the clover smelt,
When through the fields walked with her
And plucked the blossoms for her belt.
FAITH but I loved the little hand,
That used to wear this time stained thing
Its slightest gesture of command
Would set my glad heart tuttering.
Or II it touched my finger. SO,
Or smoothed my hair-why should 1 speak
or those old days2 1t makes, you know,
The tears brim over on my cheek.
Poor stained. worn-out, longwristed glove!
think 1t almost understands
That reverently and with love
hold IL in my trembling hands.
And that IL Is so dear to me,
With its old fragrance, far and faint,
Because my mother wore it. She
On earth my love, in heaven my saint.

almost HELPLESS. Their language was

almost helpless. Their language was
unknown to her, but they soon gathered
that the helpless woman was the only
living creature on board. BY means of
rope from shore and with the assist
ance of the recurring waves, the vessel
was pulled as far up on the beach as
practicable and made fast.
Still, however, the distance between
the vessel and the land was great. The
fishermen put rope around the
woman's waist and threw it to land.
They next lifted her over the bow and
gave her hold of the rope by which the
vessel had been drawn toward the
shore, and which was there held taut
by willing hands. Suspended in mid
air, this much tried woman of sixty
years actually scrambled hand over
hand for a distance of several yards
until relieved by two men from the
shore, who, standing up to their mid
die in the water, caught her in their
arms. She was carried ashore nearly
dead with terror and exhaustion.
The people gave her food and rest.
She gained strength rapidly and was
taken soon to the mainland, and thence
by steamer to Hull. Thence hither by
rail- Here she found a telegram
awaiting her from the manager of the
Royal Aquarium in London offering to
pay her Flo week and expenses to
come to the aquarium. All she would
have to do would be to receive visitors.
The proposal was at once declined

his mother taught him to cook, wash

he had three sisters older than himself"
Well, that kind of a man with that sort of
mother and that sort of sisters may be
very thankful for that kind Of training,
but we'll bet a thousand dollars his wife
doesn't attend the praise service. Do you
know my son, how Lucifer, mightiest of the
angels fell? He was on earth one day, and
saw a man nosing around in the kitchen,
among the pots and pans and kettles,
messing up dinner for his helpless, awe
stricken family. He watched until he saw
the man wiring out the dish-rag, and then
he swore right out; he couldn't help it. OF
course, he couldn't be allowed in Heaven
after that, we all know that; but then, son,

once visited a pleasant country
house, the owner of which had power.
full and sagacious dog called Major.
This dog was highly priced by his
master and by the people of the neigh
borhood. He had saved many lives.
Once when swing-rope became en-.
tangled around the neck of little girl,
Major held her up until help came.
One day the butcher brought in his
bill for Majors provisions. Major
master thought it altogether too large,
and shaking the paper angrily at the
dog, he said:
ssSee here, old fellow, you never ate
all that meat-did you?'
The dog looked hard at the bill,
shook himself all over, regarded the
butcher with contempt, and then went
back to his rug, where he stretched
himself out with low growl of dis
satisfaction.
The next Sunday, just as service
began at the village church, into my
friends pew vaulted Major
The Major kept perfectly quiet until
we all arose for prayer; then he sprang
upon the seat; stood on his hind-legs,
placed his fore-paw upon the front of
the pew behind, and stared gravely and
reproachfully into the face of the
butcher, who looked very much con-
fused, and turned first red and then
pale. The whole congregation smiled
and Uttered. Majors master at once
took the dog home. But the butcher
was more considerate in his charges
from that time. Evidently he felt
mortified and conscience-stricken.-

which he lays up, living on what he has

.You have a picturesque and roman.
tic way of living, have you not?'' askea
a reporter of woman who was emerg-
ing from the cabin with basket OF
snowy clothes in her arms.
Hum; well it is not all romance by
any MEANS" was the reply. .'Still we
manage to live very comfortably on the
canal. We are always warm. Our
cabin is divided into two state-rooms, q
kitchen and sitting-room."
Descending into the cabin the re-
porter discovered that the entire apart
ment was about 16x15 feet, The state.
rooms were boxes entirely filed by bed
ding. The kitchen, a range, partially
enclosed by wooden screen at one
side, while the rest of the space was de.
voted to ''sitting-room," contained
table, a couple of chairs, and left
enough space for one to walk around
between them. A man, his wife and
two children lived in this particular
cabin, which is exactly similar In size
and arrangement to those of all othe'
boats on the canal.
..In the summer" said the woman,
1--WE have an awning and hammocks
upon the deck. The children always
have plenty of play room, which is
more than can be said for many who
live more extensively. In this way we
not only save rent or taxes (for the
majority of canalmen own their boats),
but during the summer we lay in a
store for the winter, purchasing along
the canal wherever the article wanted
can be bought the cheapest. During
the winter a canal man may become
a teamster, his horses or mules setting
him up in trade"

now, and it is long way to spring yet,
There are about 1000 boats on the

to Buffalo takes thirty to thirty-three
days by horse or mule power and from
twenty-three to twenty-seven days by

winter. We have church boat and
an entertainment boat. During week
days school is kept on the church boat,
and every evening a prayer meeting is
held there. 1t costs from 5000 to 5000

BABY's BEAUTY.


It L. Saved by . Delicate and Successful
Surgical Operation.
An operation performed at one of the
South Side hospitals in this city is thus
described by one of the attending sur
geons: The patient is a girl baby whose
body is covered with hair moles. One
of these began on her forehead, extend
ed down over her eye-lids and covered
the bridge of her nose, disfiguring an
otherwise beautiful face. The opera
ton was for the purpose of removing
this growth of hair. The patient was
placed under the influence of an anes-
thetic, and the surgeon made an incis-
ion in the skin covering. the forehead
and cheek bones on each side and
through the outer skin of the eyelids
and upper part of the nose. Then he
cut through the skin over each eye.
leaving pair of eyebrows. The skin
was removed and small pieces were cut
from the patients limbs and trans
planted over the forehead, nose and
eye lids. The child was SO completely
covered with moles that the surgeon
was obliged to make the transportation
of several small pieces of skin instead
of one piece. THE forehead will be
slightly SCARED, said the surgeon,
ssbut will be q thousand times more
slightly than If it was disfigured by that
mole. The little patient did not seem
TO mind the operation, and in half an
hour. recovering from the influence d
the an@sthetic, was sleeping soundly.-
