THE ORDER OBEYED.

How q Tennessee Gentleman Was Nomi-
mated for Governor, Although He Obeyed
the Presidents Order.
The dispatch which came over the
wires from Washington in relation to a
recent order of the President warning
office-holders not to be o busy about
caucuses and conventions must have
been a hard blow to Republican papers
which have been wildly abusing the
Administration and charging that the
order was simply issued for effect
that it meant nothing unless it was
to hoodwink the people. The CORE
spondence which passed between
Robert L. Taylor, of Knoxville,
Tenn, and pension agent at that place,
and William Mclean, Acting Pension
Commissioner, shows clearly, how
ever. that the Republican organs
maligned the Administration and
charged it with hypocrisy when it's
only object in view was honest SINGER
ity. 1t appears that the Democrats
OF Tennessee thought MI. Taylor, the
pension agent at Knoxville, would be
a good candidate for Governor and
they urged him to put forth some eff
fort in his own behalf and to attend
the convention in person. The office
MIR. Taylor holds is not a very impor-
tant one, but the gentleman's con-
science would not allow him to
hold it and violate the order of the
President, cautioning ofice-holders not
to enlist in political campaigns
Extensively. 1t is true that Mr..
Taylor wanted to go to Knox
vile. his ambition had been fired
by his n%eighbors. but he would not 90
without he could obtain the consent of
somebody in Washington. So he wrote
to the Commissioner of Pensions, and
as General Black was out of town the
Acting Commissioner replied: While
no doubt exists as to your good faith
in the proposed acting, your presence
at the convention will place you and
the Administration, if not in a false
position, in one subject to misconcep-
tlon." Did Mr.. Taylor go to the con-
vention? Indeed he did not, but put
ambition behind him, remained at
home, and, strange as it may seem, !
was nominated for Governor. That lie
will be elected nobody can doubt, for
the people of Tennessee recognize that
a man so welded to plain duty as MI.
Taylor is, is a jewel of rare price. 1t
would seem that in Tennessee a pub |
lie office is a public trust after all

Interior of a Venezuela House,

The house is plain and substantial
looking outside. 1t is entered through
a passageway paved with marble, and
when wide enough to drive a carriage
through, perhaps, with great mahogany
doors, the outer ones standing open
through the day. You enter into an
open court or patio, having an over
hanging roof, so Us to make an in er
piazza, and still further within il a
wholly open space filled with the most
beautiful flowers and most odorous
shrubs. Three sides of this little garden
are surround rd-to use an incorrect

American lady asked me to call with
her at this Caracas home. We found
the lady of the house surrounded by
beautiful, healthy children and the other
flowers. and passed an agreeable half
hour in their company. The mistress of
this elegant home vas the daughter of
a man who has given delight and of

Peace Not Yet Declared.

1t seems that the Blaine fight against
Senator Edmunds in Vermont has not
only not subsidized since the declaration
of the Republican State convention in
his favor, but is becoming hotter than
ever now that nominations for the
Legislature are being made. The
county conventions in nomi-
mating candidates for the Senate have
very generally declared for the re-elec-
ton of Edmunds, but the fight is going
on chiefly in the canvas for represent
atives in the towns. There are only
thirty members of the Senate of Yer
mont, while there are 24O Represent
atives, and in a joint convention the
power of the former will be small. The
opposition to Senator Edmunds en-
anates from the Blaine men, who have
never forgiven him for refusing to raise
his voice for a candidate whose char
acter he knew and despised, but it is
industriously fostered by the great rail
road magnate of the State. j. Gregory

repeated three times, and each time it
seemed more mournful and bloodhound
ling. 1t was not like the roar of a lion
rather, the cry of anger of an enor-
nous cat. For a moment the calls
bawling stopped, but presently it BEGAN
again, louder than before, and CUTLER
mo clutched my arm and pointed
through a rift in the vines to the GRASS
in front of the trap.
A little shape had suddenly leaned
ou of the shelter of the Jungle and was
crouched before the trap-door. Its body
seemed to be as big as the average
horse, but its short legs and c~rouching
position brought its belly to the grass.
Its tail moved slowly from side to side.
and its eye-balls glowed in the half-dark-
ness like live Goals. In the moonlight
the shape vas as black as a shadow.
There came another cry, shorter and
fercer than the others. The figure lifted
itself from the grass and shot like a great
bird into the mouth of the dark trap.
The pole which confined the door flew
from its position and the heavy door of
hewn logs dropped with a solid
'.chuck, plainly audible to us on our
distant perch.

"He will stay, Don Henrigo. That

Origin of a Theatrical Custom.

The custom of calling actors and dra-
natists before the curtain is not as old as
might be imagined. In Germany it was
the famous tragedian, Ludwig Schroeder,
who, in 1850, first yielded to the APP
plause OF the Hamburg public and APP
peared before the curtain. Leasing de-
cidedly discountenanced the calling out
OF the drramatist, but did not object to
the actors appearing before the curtain.
After Schroeder had set the example, it
became not only the general practice of
actors TO appearin response to applause,
but to express thanks in a set speech.
This. in turn, led an interesting writer
at the beginning of this century to COM
pile a book for the use of actors in this
emergency, containing fitting words of
acknowledgment for every role in the
repertory Of the German stage.-Berltn

SOMETHING AGGRESSIVE.

The Efforts Being Made by Mr.. BIaine's
Friends in the Maine Campaign to Give
Him q Presidential Boost"
To aperson innocent in the ways of
politics it must seem very strange that
up in Maine, a State which two years
ago gave a Republican majority of
nearly $4,000, the campaign for the
election of a Governor and Congress
man is this year to be conducted with
all the preparations of q Presidential
year, including not only a continuous
series of speeches by Names ire
tired" statesman, Mr.. Blaine. but
nightly speeches by as many
political orators from other States
as a be induced to go down
East. The Augusta correspondent of
the Boston Herald throws some light
on the situation. AS every one knows
(who believes all he hears), the Presi-
dental nomination IN 1884 was forced
on Mr.. Blaine against his inclination.
Having, however, got a taste of run
ming for the high Office. he seems to
like the occupation, and this years
Maine campaign is all planned to assist
him in gratifying his ambition. The
correspondent quoted tells US that sit
will be the first time in many years
that Mr.. Blaine has been assigned to
so many speeches." that s.for weeks
he has been preparing himself for his
efforts;" that sit is believed that he in
tends to strike the keynote of the next
Presidential campaign that Repre-
sentative Dingley is predicting on the
stump ''that Mr.. Blaine will again lead
the Republicans" and that a vote for
Bodwell for Governor is considered a
vote for Blaine Denomination in 1885: this
change in Mr.. Blaine's tactics, as COM
pared with his ''lying low" methods in
1884, is undoubtedly a confession of
weakness. He has heard, as persons
who talk with leading Republicans
from all parts of the country are hear
ing, the sentiment that the Republican
party has had the name Blaine dinged
into its ears long enough; that the cam
paign Of 1888, to be successful, must
be something else than defensive, and
that it is time for the party to present
TO the country a new name which will
not labor under any personal handicap.
knowing the prevalence of these senti-
ments. the man in Maine plans to re-
new his W prominence by having a
lively campaign in his own State, of
which he will be the central figure, in
order that he may not drop out of the
list OF eligibles. Well. this may be fun
him, and if his coming speeches in
volve him in his usual self-contradic-
tons. it may do his party some service
by again setting forth his inferior quail
tiles as a candidate Y. Post.

SIaughtering Each Other.

If there is any one thing more than
honesty which the Republicans of Ohio
lack it is harmony. just now they are
at swords points and are ready to
slaughter each other at the polls. Not
content with butchering each other
they go outside of their State to stab
other aud better men. That weak
Congressman, Grosvenor, who climbed
into public life by means of his wealth,
told a reporter the other day that JEFF
Davis would get more votes in Ohio
than General John A. Logan. This
hatred of the Illinois Senator, who
bolstered Blaine in 1884, is due to the
fact that he refused to aid Ohio Rapub-
llcans in stealing a scat in the United
States Senate by ousting Senator PAYNE
on groundless rumors and base false
hoods. Logan's name will be remem-
bered with respect long after all recol-
lection of the Ohio scoundrels who ar.
abusing him is gone. Logan is moi a
saint. but he is head and shoulde.

The New Navy.

The preliminary steps toward the
creation of a new navy are now being
taken. 1t is a matter of ~congratula-
ton that the near future promises the
realization of the hopes of the people
in that direction. 1t has long since
been a recognized weakness of the
country that its marine armament has
been inferior to that of any other re-
spectacle Power. But the fact that tn e
naval authorities have been involved in
corrupt combinations with ship-build-
ers restrained Congress from voting the
necessary appropriations to accomplish
it.
The present administration of the
Navy Department has proved its free
dom from any corrupt collision, and
the consequence is that the %appropria-
tions have been made and the work
will soon be begun. The new navy
will consist of eight war vessels and
one dynamite gun boat. Secretary
Whitney is employing every available
means OF getting the best results from
the authority vested in him to disburse
the money voted for the purpose. He
is getting the most approved designs
and will compel the full performance
OF the contracts by which the building
of the vessels will be awarded.
The two cruisers and dispatch boat
contracted for by the late Admins
tration a nd the six vessels now about
to be commenced will make a fair
start for a navy. They are to be OF
various types and widely different in
capacity as well as in speed and power.
They will be modern in every respect
and equal in every particular to the
best ships of other Governments. The
armament will be as perfect as the YES
sells will be complete and the new
navy may reach the high standard that
the old n did in its days of hosest
management. -Har7isburg Patriot.

BEYOND RECALL.
L. G. GOULD, Publisher,

Bring not tonight
Your words of praise
o spoke them not
In other days;
Kiss not the lips
So silent now,
Drop not your ear
Upon her brow.
In life you gave
No loving words;
No voice of cheer
rom you was heard;
She asked for bread,
You gave q stone
Mock not her sleep
With grieving tone.
1t - not meet
To offer here,
ahe boon she sought
From year TO year:
NO word from you
Gould bring tonight
To her still heart
A faint delight.
Look on the face
So lovely yet;
1t bears no trace
OF dim regret.
Death swept away
The look of pain
And left it calm
And fair again.
She feels no more
The cruel slight
That hid from her
Loves holy light.
Shed not your tears
As penance small
The work you wrought
Is past recall.

NOT ALWAYS NECEssAR

By our original system of diagnosis, we can treat many chronic
diseases just as successfully without as with a personal con-
sultation. While we are always glad to see our patients, and
become acquainted with them, show them our institutions, and
familiarize them with our system of treatment, yet we have not
seen one person in five hundred whom we have cured. The per-
feet accuracy with which scientists are enabled to deduce the
most minute particulars in their several departments, appears
almost miraculous, if we view it in the light of the early ages.
Take, for example, the electromagnetic telegraph, the greatest
invention Of the age. Is it not a marvellous degree of accuracy

clerk of the weather" has become SO thoroughly familiar with
