CARL SCHURZ.
PuzziiHg Statements AS To His
New Political Faith.

New YORK, Aug. 12.-CarI Schurz's
friends have been for some time ex-
pecting to hear definite announce
ment of his views on the pending cam
palgn and his intentions. 1t is now
understood here that this announce
ment has come, and Schurz will not re-
turn until after the election. He will
take no personal share i'll it in any way.
This news is variously received among
representative German citizens. Those
of them who are Republican in their
sympathies say SchurZ is disguised by
MI. Cleveland's lapse from the high
standard of civil-Service reform set up
at the opening of his administration.
They say that Schurz could not con-
sistently support Cleveland for rp-elec-
ton, and does not care to have to eat
his words of four years ago. They even
go further and say Schurz would, in one
contingency, not only return at once to
this country, but actually stump for
Harrison. That contingency they de-
clare to be the removal of Postmaster
Pearson.
Leading German Democrats, on the
other hand, pooh pooh this interpreta-
ton of S churz's absence, and say there
are two reasons why he is summering
at the German seaport town, Keil, and
will remain there several months longer.
One is the pTecariOuS condition of the
health of his eldest son, Carl, and the
other is the fact that he is writing
book of political "reminiscences cover
ing his marvellous career while yet
youth in Europe, and afterward the ex-
periences and achievements of his ma
ture years in public life in the United
States. Schurz is expected to complete
the bulk of this work before returning
to this country. He is now busy OH it.
Once begun the self-imposed task has
ceased to exist, and the labor has be-
come delightful in its all-absorbing oe-
cupation. The publication of this book
is looked forward to with as much in
terest by German-Americans as was the
appearance of the similar work by
James G.. Blaine.

DELAYED HARVEST.
Too Much Rain in Portions of the
Northwest

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-The weather
crop bulletin for the week ending Aug
ust II says: Reports from New Eng
land the Middle and Southern states,
districts north of the Ohio river, and
from Kansas, Missouri and Southern
Nebraska indicate that the favorable
weather in those sections during the
past week generally improved the con-
dition OF crops, especially of corn,
although some damage from wind
and rain is reported from
sections of Ohio and Missouri. Excess
sive rainfall and cool weather in Mime
sofa and Northern Nebraska are re-
ported as retarding the growth of crops
ana delaying the harvest. The rainfall
during the week in the cotton and to-
bacco regions of the lower Mississippi
valley was not sufficient to remove the
indications of drought previously re-
ported from that section, as crops are
still suffering from want of rain Light
frosts occurred in Northwestern Mime
sofa and in Michigan Friday, but no
damage is reported.

free whisky plank in their platform.
Now, with the parties arrayed on these
grounds, it can easily be seen what
Is decided advantage the Democrats
have il, the race. Heretofore
the Republicans would assume an
aggressive attitude early in the
campaign and the Democrats Gonld
hold back as though certain of defeat,
but this year the position is exactly re-
versed. The Democrats have adopted
the war into the Republican strong
holds, and making it warm for them
even thus early in the campaign.
1.-The Democrats are organizing clubs
all over the state, and every club is
working hard in its own district. The
speeches of Carlisle and Mills are the
most popular. and large numbers of
them have already been distributed.
The Republicans have not come
TO THE FRONT
yet in organizing. Then, again, the
leaders out our way are kept constantly
busy trying to persuade the Prohibition
voters that the party is not committed
to free whisky, but the mission work in
in this direction has been decided
failure.

GOOD SHORT STORIES.
Got to Thinking How Funny
'TwouId Be.


The Boston Courier says they were
sitting together in the warm parlor, say
ing little but thinking much. But low
ers do not need to say much to be COM
panionable.
The little clock on the mantel for a
considerable time had been the only
speaker. Its tick, tick, tick, tick,
seemed to the youth to say: kiss her,
KISS her, kiss her, kiss her." To the
ma den it said: Leap year. leap year,
OF this phrase forced the maid TO break
the silence:
"How funny some people arep' she
''Funny?"
Eyes; some people who are going to
be married"
"Ohw
Yes; some want to be married in
balloon, some on the middle arch of
bridge, some in boat, some in a rail-
road train, some on horseback, some on
the edge of aprecipice, some down in
coal mine"
Eyes, have noticed it,"
what is the object, / wonder?"
Marriage, of course"
"But / mean their object in getting
married out of the usual way?'
"Well, Pll tell you what | think.
They get married in this way so that
they can tell their children and their
grandchildren that they were married
under peculiar circumstances, as, for
instance: Your mother and |, chill
dreD, were married in coal NINE or
Your grandmother and l, children,
were married in balloon
''I'll bet that's just the reason" said
the maiden.
..Of course it is the reason"
There was pause. Then the maiden
with glowing check said:
"Ive been thinking, John"
"Yes?'' he said, interrogatively.
"Ive been thinking how funny it
would be" ia pause and deeper
blush).
We'll, Bella, you've been thinking
what?"
"I'ye been thinking how funny it
would be if
"Yes?"
''lf, when the subject of marriage
comes up thirty or forty years hence,
you could point to me and say: why,
children, your grandmother proposed to
me in leap year, and we were married a
few weeks AFTER"
John is very busy these days furnish
ing nice little cottage, and Bella is
experimenting the making of her
wedding dress.

An Extraordinary Escape.

Mary Riley, young Irish girl, who
landed in America but two days ago,
made her first acquaintance with loco

wonderfully lucky circumstances. AS
she was crossing the Pennsylvania rail-
road tracks at jersey City at $50 O'clock
an engine came laundering along. and
Mary, all unconscious of danger. paused
to watch the glittering headlight. Be-
fore her companions could get her away
the train struck her. When it passed
the spectators looked to find her man
gled remains lying along the track, but
could see no trace of her. Hurrying
down to the station three blocks away,
they found Mary quietly waiting for
them. The pilot had caught her safely
In some miraculous manner and landed
her at the station with so little injury
that she was able to walk to her home.

there are numerous letters in existence
showing that we pointedly refused TO

appointments that were not like Caesars

the governor did not like, for he sup
posed that the secretary of the commit

TRANSPORTATION,
BEFORE THE BALL.

BEFORE THE BALL.
Before she goes
Her mirror shows
A maiden fair,
With golden hair,
A Psyche knot
(The latest dot)
Her shapely head adorns.
A fringe of gold
In curls untold
Her forehead decks
Round her neck
Some pearls lay,
AS if to say,
(which of us is fairest5'
A gown of blue
{Just the hue
OF her eyes
Or the skies),
Trimmed with laces rare
And flowers fair,
Her lovely form infolds.
Gloves and fan
In her hand
Her little feet,
In slippers neat,
With pointed toes,
French heels and bows.
Beneath her skirts are peepIng.
She turns away:
She cannot stay,
But her critical eye
No fault can spy.
She's well content
With the vision sent
Back from her mirror.
''Oh, maid serene,
You'll look queen
The belle of the ball youth be.
AT THE BALL.
Around about her hover
Many devoted lover;
Each one she'll greet
With glance so sweet
That Cupid's little dart
Strikes them in the heart;
1t almost drives one daft
TO see her flirt and laugh.
This fair coquette
Must dance each set;
In the stately lancer
She's the gayest dancer;
She'll gallop and spin
Through the maddening did
Of waltz, polka, quadrille-
Never moment still.
Through each giddy dance
She skipS and rants,
With the conscious air
Of one who is fair.
She thinks she looks the same
AS when she came;
But, oh the changes wrought
Since last she sought
Her tell-tale mirror
AFTER THE BALL.
Belle of the ball,
Gayest of all,
Turn on the gas
Look in the glass
At the changes wrought
Since last you sought
Your tell-tale mirror.
Your golden crimp
Hangs damp and limp,
Those pearls unstrung
Drop one by one.
Oh maid torlorn
Your dress is torn
You're stepping on its ruffles.
Your slippers ripped
From heel TO tip.
Your fan of gauZe
Is gone-Oh laws!
('ThoSe dainty gloves
The little loveS-)
Are buttonless and soiled.
Your hustle plump
Has had a thump-
1t gave a slip
'1'is on one hip,
Oh, what fright
You look to- night
My poor deluded maiden.
TITS always said.
And often read.
That pride must have fall"
Remember this,
Crest-fallen miss,
When next you're belle of ball.
