sIoody-shirf Johns Gloom.

Senator Sherman is said to take :
gloomy view Of the outlook for the
Republican party this year. He has
about given up all hope Of carrying
New York. for the reason that New
York people, being "strictly BUSH
ness" don't care much whether the
negro in the South votes or not. and.
in fact. would prefer to have the South
prosper under white control rather
than upset commercial development
by restoring the political domination
of the colored race. Mr.. Sherman
thinks the only thing to do is to con-
centrate on Indiana and Ksw Jersey
on the high-tari6 issue and leave New
York to the Democrats. = CHICAGO

Hove her tho she is not mine.
Nor ever can be, more's the pity!
And yet can notscount IL wrong
To worship one SO young and pretty.
To look into her eyes 80 soft,
To steal kiss when she will let me.
To clasp her In these arms OF mine
When she by chance or stealth has met me.
She's but q bud upon life's tree;
NY leaf Is in the scar and yellow;
I'm growing old and gray and bald.
A foolish, fond and fat old fellow.

Yes, that's fact. You needn't start 30,
Nor look so Mortified to hear
This little witch should stir my heart 80.
Her very shadow on the grass,
The echo OF her voice love It;
can but wish that she were mine,
Tho Scripture says, Thou shalt not covetT'
NV ncighbors wife, his OF. his ass,
For all wouldn't give quarter;
covet nothing that is his
Except his blue-eyed baby daughter.

DECEPTIVE SENSES.

Illusions OF Bodily Motion Induoed
Throagh Visual Impressions.
The senses are subject to illusions in
proportion to the rcmoteness of the in
formation that they give from the inn
mediate necessities of the organism.
ouch. the most immediate and least
inferential Of the senses, is least subject
to illusions; while sight is so very much
50 that the blind often say they have an
advantage over the seeing in being free
from visual illusions. The illusions OF
bodily motion are rcuch nearer to those
of touch than to those Of sight and yet
they can under certain conditions be-
induced through visual impressions. OF
this the writer has recently had two
interesting examples. He was standing
upon the floor of railroad depot. the
boards Of which were laid with con-
siderable open space between them; and
che shadow Of an electric light was
moving up and down. by the swinging
Of the light in the wind. Looking at
he floor. itseemed a. though the shadow
was stationary. and the floor boards
moving. From this it followed that tho
person on Il was moving too. and the
writer distinctly felt the swinging sem
sation; In fact, his attention was called
TO the phenomenon by this feeling Of
motion. The other observation was ms

looking out OF the window, the trees

Likely to Get Into RroilS.

THE Historian tells of a new polit-
ical party being formed i'll that city,
which is neither Republican, Demo-
crat or prohi; but mixture. AS we
have but eight presidential candi-
dates in the field, there is room for a
few more. This party is composed of
but one person at present, who calls
himself "philopolemic"-a lover of
disputes. Such person is sure to
get into broils, and before we know it
there will be many out of one. This
philopolemic should take up the tariff
for his subject of discussion; he has
but to harp on this for awhile to get
everybody in wrangle.-Salem

A well-known sea captain who has
made numerous voyages to Chinese
ports. referring to the lepers recently
shipped from here to their native land,
informs Telegram reporter that he
doubts very much whether the Chi
nese authorities will permit them to
land. At Hong Kong they certainly
would be denied land footing. The
Chinese fear leprosy more than the
whites do, and the bark Kitty may be
compelled to discharge her living
cargo of putridlty elsewhere if the
unfortunate wretches do not die on
the voyage.

The president has not yet given any
directions to the secretary of war rel
ative to the expenditure of the items
in the river anil harbor bill. 1t is un.
officially stated there will be five or
six weeks before the engineers office
will be ready to work. Gen. Casey,
chief of the engineers, has followed
the usual course on the passage of
the river and harbor bill, and has
notified the engineers at different
points of the amounts appropriated.
These officers send in their projects
of improvement and work is begun
after they have received the approval
of the secretary of war. This can
hardly be done before the first of
October. Gen. Casey is pushing the
work as rapidly as possible, but the
bill passed late and he has to take
the usual precautions to insure the
expenditure of the money according
to intelligent plans.

WASHINGTON, Aug. Ex-senator
Jones of Nevada is hard at work with
the subcommittee of the senate
finance committee in the preparation
OF the tariff bill. He says that the
difficulties in the way of the prepara-
ton of a tariff bill could not be nm
derstood by any person who was ig
norant of the relations which one
industry of the country bears to an
other industry. The committee on
finance, senator Jones said, was work
ing every day upon the bill, but he
did not think any bill wOuld be re-
ported to the senate any earlier than
September 10Th, but it might be later
even than that day. He thinks con
gress will be in session all the fall.
There is some gossip respecting re-
cess of congress for four weeks, COW

to be no foundation for the rumor.
