Down on the Platform.

The New York Commercial Adyer-
tiser, an old republican journal which
has supported every candidate of its
party for president from Fremont to
Blaine and which has never finched in
its allegiance to republicanism, de-
nouncts the Chinese platform of the
sham republican party of today in a
numbtr of vigorous and spirited editor
ials. The following from recent
edition hits the nail squarely ON the
head:
"The republican platform adopted
is astonishing in its pro, isions. 1t is,
as we have said, un-republican and un-
American. 1t is platform in direct
contradiction of the history, the prin-
ciplcs, the teachings of the party in
whose name a conspiracy of unscrupu.
lous politicians has put it forth. Lin.
coin would have repudiated it with dis.
gust and loathing because it antagon-
ICES individual liberty and the rights
OF the people, in the interests of fav.
ored and would-be arstocratic class.
Garfield, Grant, Arthur, Mccullough
and Folger left words on record which
condemn its most vital parts, and we
mistake the character aud temper Of
intelligent republicans of today, il
many thousands of them do not con
denim it with their ballots, as their rep
resentative newspapers have through
many months condemned its sugges
tions in advance
The Adcertiser supports Cleveland
and Thurman. 1t is now in order fol
the Chinese organs to assign a motive
to the editors and publishers of th,
Adyertiser.

II has been a "achwerfrage" for a

Cool drinks, by all means, but never

The latest about General Sheridan is
that he actually died once but was
brought to life again by the matchless
human skill of his physicians. 1t was
on the afternoon of Thursday, June Z.
A hemmorhage of the stomach had
been followed by hemmorage of the
bowels. There was no pulse, no res
piration. The firm jaw had dropped
the eyes were wide open and glazed
and the hands were as cold as ice.
Father Chapelle turned from the bed
side and said; "All Is over" and then
passed sadly from the room. Mrs.
Sheridan sobbed In prayer for the
dead heroes final rest. Suddenly DIR.
O'Reilly discovered that the heart
began to beat after FIVE minutes of in
action, the proper aids were applied
and the General soon grew better.

How Type is Made,

1t takes a great deal of work 10
make type. Every letter has to be
handled by five persons after it is cast.
The fret thing done is cutting the let
ter on the end of fine piece of steel,
forming punch. The punch is driven
into piece of polished copper, which
make the matrix. Tho matrix for the
face of the letter and the mould for
the body of the type are put into type
casting machines, fed with melted
metal, and the letters turned out one
at a time, dropping from the machines
like the ticking of watch. A great
deal of work is required in finishing
type, and when at last they are appar.
emily all right, each letter is examined
under a microscope, and the defective
ones are rejected.

SOMETHING GREAT.

The trial was ended-the vigil past;
All clnd In his arms was the knight at last,
The goodlest knight In the whole wide land,
With eyes that shone with purpose grand.
The King looked on him with gr acious eyes,
And said: HE is meet for sone high emprise.'
TO himself he thought: ~ will conquer fate;
I will surely die, or do something greiis."
So from the palace he rode away;
There was trouble and need In the town that day
A child had strayed from his mothers side
Into the woodland dark and wide.
"Help!" cried the mother, with sorrow Wild
"Help me, Sir knight, to seek my chldi
The hungry wolves in the forest ronm;
Help mo to bring my lost one homci" q
He shook her hand from his bride rciI.
"Alas poor mother, you ask in vain.
Some meaner succN~ will do, may be,
Some squire or varlct ~ low degree.
There are mighty wron.s In the world TO right
I keep my sword for noble fight.
I am sad at heart for your baby's fate,
But ride in haste to do something great"
One wintry night, when the sun had set
blind old man by the way he met:
snow. good Sir Knight, for Our Lady's sake,
On the sightless wandcrer pity takei
The wind blows cold, and the sun is down.
Lend me, pray, till reach the town."
'Nay,' said the knight; II can not wait;
ride in haste to do something great"
So on he rode in his armour bright,
His sword all keen for the longed for fight.
Laugh with us-laugh ~ cried the merry crowd
80 weep!' walled others, with sorrow bowed.
Help us!" the weak and weary prayed.
But for Joy, nor grief, nor need he stayed.
And the years rolled on and his eyes grew dim,
And he died-and none made moan for him.
Te missed tho good that he mghthave done;
He missed the blessings he might have won.
Seeking some glorious task to find.
His eyes to all humber work were blind.
He that is faithful in that which is least
Is hidden to sit at the heavenly feast.
Yet men ana women lament their fate,
II they be not called to do something great.

OF liberty In Paris far from pleasant.
July came. One hot and breathless night,
Lux left the Convention in q detected frame
OF mind. He felt mocked, deluded, discour-
aged. There was vile scent of blood In
the streets Of Paris. Women passed him
singing Ca ira and the dreadful Carmdgno,e.
A score of high and naughty heads had

There the young Deputy began pacing
aimlessly about, absorbed in unhappy
| thought. Presently he heard light step.
| A woman was advancing toward him under
| the galleries. She wore q white gown a
Norman coi6e fastened with a ribbon, and a
silk .j7chu on her shoulders. Adam Lux saw
face young and of amazing beauty-the
skin like alabaster, the splendid eyes un-
fathomably dark-a mass of chestnut curls,
with auburn tips, clustering against daz-
zling neck. 1t was his dream maiden, in
the flesh, the substance of that mysterious
shadow which had twice appeared to him in
his own City Of Mayence!

white dress brushed him gently. His heart
gave a furious bound. He turned and fol-
lowed her.
She entered tho shop of cutler; tho
young Deputy entered also. She advanced
to counter, and said something to the man
behind it. Lux failed to catch the words,
but the rich, cultivated voice was that of u
born gentlewoman.
The cutler produced tray of knives. In
the shadow of the shop-door Adam Lux saw
her select one-a poniard-knife, with an eb-
ony haft.
'The price?" she asked.
"Thrce francs, ciioDcnne," answered the
cutler.
She put the money on the counter, con-
cealed the knife under her silk kerchief,
