A Suicide Who Respected the Property Of
His Friend and Partner.
II Colonel Bluford is more precise
about one thing than another, it is his
razor. He is so particular about it that
he has almost come to the conclusion
not to allow himself even to use it on
his own chin on Sundays. Bluford
went off fishing few weeks ago, and
while he was. gone, his partner, who
was also his room-mate, committed sui
eide. The Colonel was asked by tele-
graph to return. He came back as fast
as he could. Meeting friend at the
depot, he asked in q voice husky with
emotion:
lis it fact that my partner has COM
mitted suicide?''
Eyes; he was buried this morning"
The blanched face of Bluford be-
came paler than ever, and his voice
sounded unnatural as he whispered
hoarsely:
{, ..How did he do it?'
morphine. =
.Thank Heaven!" cried Bluford, fer
vently, ..my razor is safe; but l might
have known it would be, for George was
one of the most considerate Of men. I
shall always revere his memory. -.

gale of wind is blowing that carries
away some of the sails and spars, or
when the vessel is nearing lard in a
stiff breeze, there is unceasing labor for
the tar. 1t is thrilling sound, the cry
of '.All hands shorten sail, and no sea-
man can tell when he will be able to 60

in strong gale, far out at sea, there is
comparatively little actual work when
the labor of furling the necessary sails
has been accomplished. It is all watch
ing and waiting, the hoping that some
thing will not carry away, and cause
some nasty work aloft. The seas sweep
over the deck, and render all painting,
chipping of iron rust, and polishing of
brass work impossible. The helmsman
has the hard task then of keeping the
ship from being continually flooded by
the laundering waves.
After all, it is not too much to affirm
that the calling of the sailor is one OF
the hardest on the face of the globe. He
lives on a floating house of business

THAT ANCIENT "LYRE."

The wild winds wall with wonder,
The soldiers stand amazed,
And mourn their awful bIunder.
The chestnut bells are dazed!
While all the living issues
In terror stink away,
And host of forgotten spccters
Come trooping back to-day:
For the strings of that ancient Tyre
Send forth the sad refrain:
y If you wish to squelch the rebels
Vote for the man from Maine"
The war is long since over,
Its cruel wounds assuaged,
The fields are green with clover
Where once the battle ragged:
The Sta.s and Stripes wave proudly
Der enc united lsnd,
And North and SOutS. in friendship
Have clasped each Others hand;
Yet still that dom eest Tyre
Sends forth the sad refrain:
/" IF you wish to free the niggers,
Vote for the man from Maine"
"Oh, what of the Mulligan letters?
And who were the Fisher crew?
And when was Fort Smith captured
BY Jim and the boys in blue!"
But never the ghost of an answer
Is waited back to me
From the strings of that ancient Tyre
In its dirge of sweet misery;
But forever and forever
1t echoes the sad refrain:
IL you wish to be freed from the British
Vote for the man from Maine"

HOME AGAIN.

Home again! Mother, your boy will rest,
For time at least, in the Old home nest.
How good to see you in your cornered nook
With knitting or sewing, or paper or book:
The same sweet mother my boyhood knew,
The faithful, the patient. the tender and
true.
You have little changed; ali well, maybe
A few gray hairs in the brown see;
A mark or two under smiling eyes,
So lovingly bent in glad surprise.
TITS who have changed, all mother mine
From teasing lad to manhood's prime.
No longer climb on your knee at night
For story told in the soft freight;
No broken slate or book all torn
Do bring to You with its edges worn;
But I'll come to you with my graver cares,
You'll help me bear them with tender pray
ers.
I'll come again as of old, and you
WIZ help the man to be brave and true;
For the mans the boy, only older grown,
And the world has many stumbling stone.
All. mother mine. there is always rest
When find you here In the old home nest.

How President Arthur Came Finally

How President Arthur Came Finally to
Suspect James G. Blaine.
The remarkable story said to have
been related by the late President Ar
thur to Judge Draper and Chairman
Warren, during the Blaine campaign
of 1884, and given to the public for
the first time ilA the New York Times,
is pronounced authentic by Judge
Draper. Although the main facts in
the case were known at the time Of
the Senatorial fight in 1881, yet the
plain unvarnished account given BY
Mr.. Arthur throws. new light on
crisis from which may be dated the
downfall of the Republican party. It
will be remarked that the late Presi-
dent related the particulars Of the
quarrel between Conkling and Gar
field in order to emphasize his advice
to the two Stalwart leaders not to mis-
lead their followers in supporting
Blaine's candidacy by pledges which
previous experience in half-breed
honor taught him would not be full
filled, should Blaine be elected.
The hand of President Garfield's
Secretary of State is plainly discerni-
BILE in the cunniugly devised plot to de-
ceive Conkling and Grant, and the
New York Senator felt that behind
Garfield stood the Half Breed Mephis-
topheles, directing the plot which cul-
minated in the nomination OF Judge
Robertson. Arthur did not know Blaine
and his powers of deception as we'll as
Conkling did and he relied, as he says,
implicitly on the assurances of Gar
field. When Mephistopheles became
the nominee of the party in 1884, the
Republican President, while loyal to
his party and prepared to acquiesce in
the decision of the National conven-
ton, considered it his duty to warn the
Stalwart leaders against being do.
ceived as he was four years previously.
His words are emphatic on the subject:
"Let me say to you, as friend, as
sumo no responsibility for the future
course of MIR. Blaine's administration
in this State. Allow none Of our
friends to be deceived with false
hopes He bore lively remem-
brance of the words of President
Garfield to Conkling. Plat and himself
the Sunday previous to the appoint
ment of Judge Robertson to the col
lectorship: az am not prepared
yet to take any action on New York
matters and shall not be for some
time"
He also considered that the ruling
spirit of Garfeld's Administration had
become the choice of the Republican
National convention. and that the in
fuence which operated against him
self and his friends on former occa-
sion had lost none of its malignity.
The loyalty of the late President to
his party would not permit him to
counsel any dissatisfaction in the
ranks. Bnt he knew that Blaine was
not to be trusted and he was impelled
to warn his friends against the Mephis-
topheles of the party. Time has not
improved the situation or changed
the feelings of some of the Republican
leaders towards Mr.. Blaine. They
know him to be trickster, and his
magnetism" to consist of his re-
markable powers of deception.-Alba
