Globe-Democrat: The Prohibitionists
claim that they will poll vote in Iowa
this year large enough to give the state
to the Democrats. They will probably
soon pretend that they can give Yer
mont and Pennsylvania to the Demo
Gratis in the same way. The principal
element of interest in all this bumptious-
ness and vanity is contained in the fact
that the Prohibitionists thus confess that
they exist simply as an annex to the
Democratic party.

The Fancy for White Pets.

There is something curious in n lGdy's
fancy for white pets. One tender Crea-

sleek gray mouse rHu across the floor,
owns a pair Of white mice with pink
eyes. and often carries them in her mutI
when she is going TO call on a friend.
They are very tame, so to sleep in her
pocket, Cuddlc upon her shoulder and
uihble bits of cheese between her lips.
They have a little nest Of pink cotton and
run about the room as they please.
White rats often find n fair owner and
seem TO lose their responsiveness with
their change Of color. That is. n white
rat seems To create quite a different feel
ing from one of another color. They are
said to be more gentle, in a like manner
to white horses. Keepers of livery stables
will tell you that timid women always
choose a white horse To drive if there is
one in the ~stalls.s Whether it is a super.
stition or not, there is always something
about white creatures that appeals ID a
woman and seems 10 be fitting for the
tenderness, g%entlenes5 and purity Of her
sex.
If the old poets wished to convey the
picture Of a pure. lovely woman, they
portrayed her accompanied by some
white bird or beast. Spencer's Una, the
heroine Of the Faery Queen and the type
of truth, rode upon a 'lowly ass Q
white than snow, $ and ''by her in a line
a milk white lamb she led" Chauccr

women, symholizing them as two white

Arrests in New York in 1887.

One is apt to be alarmed 10y seeing in
the police report for 1887 that there were
81, l76 arrests in New York city during
the year. But he would be treasured by
looking at the class fcation of the cases
and noticing that iearly 10000 of that
number were arrested for such ~offenses
as disorderly conduct, drunkenness and
violation Of the city ordinances. The
Germans, in proportion to their numbers,
show Up by far the best in the report,
and, in fact, the had less than half their
quota Of often iers, as compared with
the other elements Of our population.
II appears that the police had a good
deal of business with professional men,
for they arrested 100 lawyers. 50 doc
tors, 50 editors and reporters and 10 cler-
gymen. 1T is men. not women, who
are your criminals" Elizabeth Cady
Stanton said in a recent speech: and this

Which we may give or take

For our loves sake.

We have blessed each other always,
We always will
We shall reach until we feel each other
Past all Of time aud space;
We shall listen till we bear each other
In every place.
The earth is full Of messengers
Which love sends TO and fro;l
kiss thee, darling, for all joy
Which we shall know.
The last kiss, oh. my darling,
Ny l1ve-l cannot sec
Through my tears, Us ! remember
What It may be.
We may die and never see each other,
Die with no time 10 give
Any sign that our hearts are faithful
