one Of the Y. NJ. c. A. delegates from
Colby University has 3 pretty cousin who
lives in the outskirts of Augusta. On his
way back from Brunswick, yesterday morn
ing, as the train whisked by he stretched
forth his head from the window TO catch a
glimpse of her dwelling. A high wind was
prevailing, and before he knew 1t his new
silk tile uuceremoniously left his head and
vent sailing over the fields. He plead with
the conductor, but that gentleman was obdu-
rate, aud refused to stop till Riverside was
reached. There the young man left the
train aud walked back over the ties till he
met large tramp wearing the beaver which
he had lost; After forcing a small present
upon the knight of the road, he regained
possession of his property and left on the
afternoon train for Wa,ervilie.

TIE Cincinnati Enquirer of yesterday
printed, on its first page. special from Co
lumbus, telling how the mantle of Blaine had
fallen on ''the brilliant young Governor. j.
B. Foraker" and how the latter was secretly
working to steal the Ohio delegation away
from Senator Sherman. On another page was
printed an interview with Governor Foraker,
in which, replying to a question if, with Mr..
Blaine out, the Ohio delegation would be
solid, he said: "Most assuredly, yes. With
Mr. Blaine out my Judgment is the Ohio
delegation will be solid in the support of
that he is entitled to the support of the State,
and he will have it." Again, referring to
Ohio's position in politics Governor Foraker
said: "Ohio has always been proverbial for
slider him it's central figure in public life to-
day--an honor to any commonwealth. The
silly idea associated with Mr.. Sherman that
he is cold man is the reverse of the truth.
| have never so found him, and such as so
charge against him cannot have the honor of
his personal acquaintance" There is nothing
ambiguous or equivocal in these expressions,
and they show. what every person Of common
sense would naturally suppose, that Governor
Foraker is solid for Sherman, as he ought to
be-. 1t would be base ingratitute and stupid
laundering on the part of Ohio Republicans
not to give Mr.. Sherman a solid delegation
from that State, and it is not to be supposed
that Governor Foraker would lend himself or
his name to an anti-Sherman movement.

A LETTER is published purporting to have
been written by the President, and declining
denomination, and giving at some length the
reasons for such action. Colonel Lamont
pronounces the letter deliberate forgery,
and Of course that settles 1t; but the letter
makes mighty good reading. and if the Presi-
dent did not write it. SO much the worse for
his honesty and consistency. The able forger
evidently had very clear conception of what
the President ought to write. After discuss
ing the personal aspects'of the case and the
duty of consistency, the letter continues:
''But independently of these considerations
is it not true that the one-term principle Is
the right principle after ali? Has it not, in
fact, become almost a fixed principle in the
Democratic creed7 Our party made it
specific and distinctive feature of its platform
in 1872. In 1876 Samuel j. Tilden, In his
letter accepting the nomination to the presl-
dency, said: No reform OF the civil service
in this country will be complete and per-
manent until its chief magistrate Is disquali-
fed for reelection"
It concludes with an expression of regret
that he did not announce his determination
in respect to a second term in his inaugural
address. and says the omission was really an
oversight, ''for my purpose in this regard was
fixed then as it is now, and has been ever
since wrote my letter of acceptance"
Forging letters is an old trick, and very
dirty one, but we do not recall previous in
stance in which the forgery has attempted to
vindicate the alleged writer's honesty of pur-
pose, and where the reputation of it has
involved a necessary confession of incon-
sistency. If Mr.. Cleveland is capable of
blushing, he must have done so in denying
the authenticity of letter which would do
him so much credit

law was upon the statute books. A case

BISHOP j. L. SPALDING thinks polygamy
far less formidable evil than it is commonly

magazine article, in which he discusses the
dangers threatening the social life of the coun-
try, the Bishop says, with an righteousness
