SELECTIONS.
PRINCIPLES, NOT MEN.

The lesson of the recent election is
so pregnant Of meaning that it is
prolific of almost indefinite sugges-
ton and comment. All over the
country there were surprises to the
managers of machine politics and a
healthy manifestation of the indie
pendence of the citizen voters. This
was no where more pronounced than
in Virginia, North Carolina and Ken
lucky. In each of these States the
independent voter was about. Sec.
tioDal and race appeals, so force.
full and effective in the past, were un-
needed, and the ballot was used to
express the convictions of men who
deposited it. The large and small
/" bosses" were utterly ignored, and
who for the first time in many years a
proper appreciation of the rights and
lmmunities ofcitizenship was shown.
There was notable absence of the
drill and discipline Of the managers
the want of that arbitrary domin-
ancy which so CRATES upon the in.
stincts of manhood, and that intoler-
ance of freedom of volltIon and ac-
ton which has made election results
the mere edicts Of close, selfish cor
porations, shaped and engineered
for the advancement of individual
ambitions, and not the welfare of the
people. In this respect the results
recorded on the I'd of November
have a double significance. They
give notice that the people have
been thinking-that they have been
reviewing the past, and have meas
ured the purposes and objects Of the
politicians and the extent of the
benefits which have accrued to the
masses. They recall promises which
were given to capture and approprl.
ate their votes, and then deliberate
ly and contemptuously broken when
power was attained. The reforms
and bounties and blessings
which were to flow from Ring sue
cess, have turned into the bitter
ashes of disappointment. Instead
of reform we had blunders and mis-
takes which in their magnitude
have reached to crimes; instead oil
of bounties and blessings, we have
had infiamed prejudice and passions
and wrongs and expressions which
have confused and deranged the
affairs of State, and brought feaI
and ugly threats to all the important
conditions of the Commonwealth.
Mr.. Barbour, one of the bosses
returns from Europe to find as the
fruits of his partizan successes, the
financial condition of the State de
plorable; the coupons absorbing the
revenues; the public schools, tremb
ling with apprehension the authori
ties he helped to empower, defying the
supreme judicial tribunal of the Ma
ton, and the people in revolt agains
his methods and his achievements
He, however, does not seem to com
prehend the revulsion, and in spiri
OF bravado proclaims that the g Dem
locratic party will live forever" AMI

Attempts have been made several times to
found temperance society in Paris, but
without success. The Partisan cannot be in
duced to give up his wine. Light wines are
cheap in Paris, and what is more are consid-
cred essential luxuries OF diet, owing to the
bad quality of the water, which is indeed
uD,triDkable in some parts of the town. The
drinking habits of the people are growing,
Tor, within the last few years, the consump-
ton OF alcoholic lquor has been doubled.
The latest attempt TO start a tetotal society is
that made by the Societe de La Croix-B -Bleu.

singing with her whole heart:
"The world itself keeps Easter day,

Monday found not one missing from her

table was spread in the most tempting man
ner Beside each plate lay tiny nosegay of
snowdrops and violets, while many OF the
dishes displayed Easter devices. The bis
cults were in the shape of eggs and the cof-
fee was served in dainty egg-shell cups. The
ice-cream came in the form of a hen, sur
rounded by brood of tiny yellow chicks,
and brown rabbit seated jauntily on his
hind legs, proved TO be composed OF rich
plum cake. The novelty of the meal de-
lighted the girls, who chatted like a conven-
tion of black birds.

said: My dear girls, / nave to thank one

have complied with my request. Our
church was yesterday made more Easter
