Bugaboos.

In families where children are given
over to the care of nurses to any extent,
there is great danger to the nerves of the
little people from the character of the en-
tertainment afforded them by the converse
ton of the nurses whose delight it often
Is to relate the marvellous, and to aggran-
die their own importance by the asser-
ton Of their knowledge or personal
connection with the marvel which
gives it verisimilitude The number OF
children who are terrified to sleep by the
stories told them by nurses is something
that would astound loving mothers il
they knew it. Giants, ghosts, hobgob-
Inns, wild beasts, unknown creatures,
and unshaped monsters of the dark
haunt the twilight of their dreams
and disturb and break the hours of deep
sleep, and nerves are disordered and little
brains inhamed in way that is unguessed
by those who know nothing of these nur-
sery tales. 1t would be well if every
mother, when engaging nursery maids,
warned them against such practice un-
der severe penalty, and took pains after
ward to observe that the warning had
effect. If eternal vigilance is the price Of
liberty in political affairs, it assuredly is
in domestic ones, and there can be no more
blessed liberty in life than freedom from
the fear and horror which make the in
fancy Of so many nurse-ridden children in.

CONCEALNIENT.

If thy dear. searching eyes could to my heart
Find but the subtle way, its truth to see,
Thou wouldst not then in silence grieve apart
That thy great love should unrequited be;
For tbs but seeming dear, that am cold
And irresponsible 10 thy yearning still.
/ need must seal my lips. lest they, o'erbold,
Should open wide the barred gates of the will,
And all that deep and restless prisoned tide
Which hidden lies, in its imprisoned sway,
Burst forth so swift and strong that else beside
Might strive and strive in vain, Its force TO
stay.
Dost thou not know with what persistent hold
The smoldering fire burns its steadfast way,
That Of its might no warning tale is told
The careless eye which seeks alone the ray,
The light, to say if fire be or no,
Until by chance some wandering breath of
air
Wakes with its touch to frey crimson glow
The unseen thing which all the while was
there2
So, hidden love, a smoldering fire burns,
Nor gives from out the breast tell-tale CLEAN,
Till some magnetic current swiftly turns
Its unseen light to wondrous glowing beam.
Nay then, dear love, think not that thou canst
read
Ny heart and soul by looking in my face;
Or, weigh their worth by every careless deed,
That thou canst thus all depth of feeling trace.
Nay, It's too sacred far for common eye,
This love hold for thy dear self alone;
Alone for thee shall my heart open lie,
To none but thee its tenderness be known;
50 If thou wait some outward sign to see,
All, then, need must wait because thou hast
so Will, till iate-or chauce-whieh 'er il be
Shall kindly bring us heart to heart at last.

Transporting BufIaloes,

The Manitoba fast freight train from
Winnipeg yesterday brought in herd of
eighty-three live buffalo, which were on
their way to C. J. Jones ranch, near Gar
den City, Kan. Mr.. Jones bought these
queer cattle from Warden Benson of the
Northwest Territory, who since 1887 has
succeeded in raising this herd from FIVE
animals captured at that time. Mr.. Jones
has already on his ranch about fifty head
of bison and goodly number OF animals
resulting from cross between the bison
and ordinary beef cattle. The matter of
DEMONSTRATING these animals is attracting
much attention among breeders, as the
wild bison is almost extinct, and buffalo
meat is worth fifty cents pound in
Chicago. A great many curious sight
seeers visited the Manitoba yards while
the cars stood there yesterday. Ainnedpo-

them that Miss Vernon had received a
summons from sick friend, and would not
appear at breakfast, as she must hasten

morning, later.
"Well, Sidney ?"
"What was the row about that woman ?
She didn't leave here because she wanted

"Do you wish to know ?" asked the Cap

"The truth ?'

He told him, emitting no detail. The
worried-expression left Sidney's face at the
explanation.
L feared her." he murmured. "She
was a dangerous woman, siren, whose
fascinating smiles nearly won my love, only
to shipwreck my happiness for selfish and
mercenary motives"
That hour the real diamonds replaced
tina false ones; that hour, too Sidney Dan
forth knew that he was free to WOO the shy
and lovely Ethel; and he shuddered as he
realized how pity and interest had nearly
enmeshed him in the wiles Of siren adj
ventures.
Pretty Ethel blushed like schoolgirl
when he caught her under the mistletoe at
midnight and claimed the privilege of a
Christmas kiss.
1t was something more-the caress of
deep and honest love-and she knew it
long before her visit at the Danforth man
sion was ended.
The whole story was soon known, and
when Christmas cheer rang high under the
green mistletoe, they all voted the doughty
and clever Captain Tarble veritable
Santa Claus.

'As favor, Mrs. Danforth. Pm queer
old salt, you know, and l never sleep
Christmas evening, so let me have my
own way. Besides, there's a small fortune
aboard that Christmas Tree, and I'd like to
guard it."
Captain Tarble had his own way, and
everybody laughed at his whims and fears,
as they babe HIM CHEEKY goodnight and
left him to the solitude of the reception
room, where Christmas tree had been set
up and decked out, as was the annual Gus
tom of the Danforths.
The old Captain had his suspicious, but
he kept them to himself. He lay down on
a lounge, with a speculative look at the
jewel-box which Sidney had shown him,
and decided that the night marauder for
tunate enough to secure Blanche's costly
Christmas present would have a lucky
haul indeed
Then he nodded and dozed and awoke
with start. 1t was just daybreak. Some
one was at the tree
A white-robed figure, that of a woman,
was there. He saw hand reach for the
Jewel-case, and sprang to his feet.
He was out into the corridor in a mo-
ment, but the thief was 100 quick for him.
He sat down in the hall. Who was the
marauder?
"Merry Christmas, Captain p
"Eh? Hello, it's you, Sidney Awake
SO soon? Eve something to tell you.

spoke. Yes, the jewel-box was intact.

quizzical look, "did you sit up all night ?''
Il dozed, of course"
And had a steaming tumbler of grog,
sailor-fashion, to begin with, and dreamed
it all. You seafaring men are always see

! Sidney's bantering did not change Cap
tain Tarble's opinion one whit, however.
II saw her, and-Pll watch" was the
grim decision of the Captain; so discussion
Of the theme ended for the time being.

Waterbury evening Democrat., 1888-11-07
THE ELECTION OF w1LLcox

MT Washington F. Wilcox, candidate fo- congress in the second district, is a lucky man. Fiom the day of his nomina- ticn, when it was believed by many that unfair means were used in the prelimina- lies, there was developed tremendous opposition, and it is almost certain that if the election had been held within week thereafter he would have been beaten out of sight. But the tremendous efforts which MT Wilcox himself and others who took an interest in his canvass put forth have succeeded in saving him from the wreck that threatened. In this city he ran much letter than even his friends ex- pected, which may be accounted for by the extraordinary work that was done for him by such men as Charles R. Baldwin of the American, Frederick J. Brown and Guernsey s. Parsons. These men, by their own personal effort and at great sacrifice of time and comfort, succeeded in stemming the tide of revolt sufficiently to give him safe lead over MT Lines. To them particularly, more than any other men in Waterbury, is due the credit of caving MT Wilcox in this town.

At the present writing the general re suit of yesterdays election is still some what in doubt, though the probabilities point to the election of General Harrison New York state, while electing Hill gover- nor, has probably gone for Harrison, which with the so-called solid north, on which the democrats do not seem to have made any inroads, will give him majority in the electoral college. Connecticut has gone democratic by a small plurality, and New Jersey has certainly declared for Cleveland. Indiana is still in doubt, with tho chances in favor of Cleveland. But the result in New York has probably set tied the election in favor of Harrison.
 As to the causes that have operated to President Cleveland's defeat it is idle now to speculate. The free trade scare, which the republicans have industriously worked and which they will parade as 'Ao ShloA cause ol tnelT success, has not been effectual in the great manu featuring states of Connecticut and New Jersey, and further results may prove that other causes have operated to place New York in the republican column. The fact that Governor Hill, who was powerful aG- vocate of tariff reform during the cam. paign, has been reelected governor may furnish a key to the situation wh. n the causes are closely investigated.
 In Connecticut, where other causes more powerful than the free trade scare oper- ated to the detriment of democracy, we have reason to be fairly we'll satisfied with the result. Morgan G. Bulkeley has failed of election by the people, and the fact that he will go into the capitol by the back stairs should emphasize anew the folly of a state constitution that permits the choice of an executive who has been repudiated by the people. Altogether the Connecticut democracy, un- der the disadvantages that weighted it down, can cong fatulate itself that it has done so well.
 Further returns will be awaited with in terest, and everybody, even those who must acknowledge defeat, will welcome the de cisive figures that will remove all possible doubt of the result.

WATERBURY DID NOBLY

Waterbury did it's duty we'll yesterday. The democracy was out in force and work ed unitedly, tremendously and vigorously to roll up the biggest majority ever given in this town. Free trade had no terrors in this manufacturing city the spook hid its diminished head as the ballots of intel ligent and upright freemen fell like snow flakes in the box. The alarm that was sought to be raised by few disingenuous manufacturers, that the country would go to smash if the democracy was triumphant, went down before the intelligence and the manhood of the parry. These manufac- turers were rebuked for their impertinence and their deceit it is to be hoped they
 will profit from the lesson and hold their
 peace in future.
 Waterbury did nobly. A manufactur- ing city that has peculiar relations to a protective tariff, where the vote comes largely from wage-earners in protected in dustries, the result is significant that labor in Waterbury is proof against the false reasoning and illogical assertions that have propped up the fabric of high protection. Labor in Waterbury has spoken it has given proof of the faith that tariff reform is demanded for the best interests of the country. It has shown fruits of the ed ucational campaign that has closed so brilliantly as far as Waterbury is concern ed, and for the emphasis of it's verdict we offer congratulations. The DEMOCRAT has reason to be proud of the result in this city. It has held up the standard of tariff reform with all the earnestness and all the vigor of which it is possessed. In season and out it has proclaimed that lower taxes must be levied, that taxation for surplus is taxation for robbery, and that the special proteges and beneficiaries of a high tariff must be put down if the country is to prosper and expand in harmony with its natural resources. That labor, which is the hope and the glory of America as it is the pride and sinew of Waterbury, should see it in this light is cause for congratulation, and the DEMOCRAT feels especial pride therein. The DEMOCRAT has fought the fight of tariff reform, it has battled for the success of its principles; it has been sustained and upheld by the democracy of Waterbury.
 Whatever be the view held by the country at large of revenue reduction, whatever be the verdict of the freemen of the land, the democracy of Waterbury has declared, in tones of thunder, that it believes in tariff reform, in the principle of lower taxes and a more equal distribution of the burdens of government; in word, that it believes in democracy and Grover Cleveland. Dem ocrats of Waterbury, you did noble work yesterday, and among the congratr- lations that you deserve none will be more sincere than those which the DEMOCRAT ex- tends as it bespeaks yours for itself
 Democracy is triumphant in Waterbury Let us all rejoice

WEIGH AND O'NEIL,

Waterbury did we'll for itself, and did we'll for the democracy of the state, when 1t elected Henry L.Welch and John O'Neil jr, to the legislature. The interests of this city are in good hands, and will be we'll cared for by these sterling, able democrats. Should the revision of our city charter be brought before the legislature-and it is more than likely it will-such a man as MT O'Neil will be invaluable in seeing that it is properly done and that the best interests of the city and it's people are con- served in the revision. Our representatives we can easily predict, will be a credit to the city and an honor to themselves.
 Democrats, yon did we'll in electine Messrs Welch and O'Neil.

HEwITT'S DOWNFALL.

The overwhelming victory of Hugh J Grant in New York city is notable and gratifying incident of the day. The know nothing sentiments that have made Abram $. Hewitt prominent figure in American politics were fittingly rebuked in the crushing majority that was given against him and his principles. The time wher race hatred, bigotry and intolerance as exemplifed in the person and the charac- ter of Abram s. Hewitt could flourish on American soil has gone by. The dark pages of know -nothingism will never be opened again in the history of America, and the swift fate that has overtaken this latter day experiment of its foul principles should be warning that this country will have no more of it. Hewitt as fac tor in American politics is dead-the votes that showed him under yesterday may be regarded as the vindication of American institutions and American principles.
 All hail, Mayor Grant In you we see tie defender of truth and justice and equality In you we see Nemesis, following with swift and stern resolve the hateful shadow of race antipathy and religious bigotry that found their shrine in the heart and the head of this shattered idol of American know-nothingism The country greets you as the type of it's own faith that all men are born free and equal, and that the glorious principles of the constitution the principles for which our forefathers bled and died-still live in the hearts and minds of the American people!
 Mayor Grant all hail
