the snow-fakes around the old cabin,
and while several large sweet po-

Daniel.
. No one who has been raised among
colored people can forget the comfort OF
sitting around the cabin fire. The old
spinning-wheel, the hamper basket in
tho corner, tho red bedsteads and the
dug-out cradle, all come back and defy
the influence OF u glowing future and
soft rugs.

cannot exactly explain the difference
between a woman's walk and q mans,
but you will be able to appreciate 1t
when you hear this story.
A French detective was after an i'm
portant criminal, whom he knew TO be
disguised as female. He followed his
trail closely until he located him In a
certain railway car.
That ear was crowded with women, and
after studying over some scheme for
finding his man no took an apple and
tossed 1t toward party In crinollne
whom he strongly suspected OF being the
criminal
The ruse succeeded Tho party saw
the apple coming. ard put up his hands
and brought his two legs together SO
as to havea double chance OF catching
the fruit. That settled him
The detective followed the direction
OF the apple. and putting his hand on his
shoulder said. sYou are my prisoner"
You see. II It had been women, in
stead OF bringing the knees together at
such time. as a man always does, she
would have spread her knees apart SO
as to catch the apple In her lap.

The sky was blue above, and all the lane

And many paused. and listening, paused
again
TO hear the voice that through and

That cry for pity woven In song.

The majority of the Republicansin the
House reported certain, though not as
large as was anticipated.
How this victory was achieved by the
Republicans, and to what causes it
should be attributed, is easily compre-
hended when the election returns are
subjected to close examination. In
the Fiftieth Congress Connecticut had
three Democrats and one Republican; in
the next House Connecticut will have
three Republicans and one Democrat.
The Democrats lose three Congress

Sometimes the extras appear with big

Though many people seem TO think
that the Republicans have an advantage
that may keep them in power for fifteen
or twenty years it is certain that the fact
does not warrant that thing, either in the
character of the party or the history Of
Here are the examples
In 1872 hardly relic of Democracy
was left, but in "a Pennsylvania went
Democratic, as did great majority OF
the country, and in 1876 Tilden was
elected.
In 1880 Garfield defeated Hancock ems
carried Republican Congress. In 1882
the Democrats swept nearly two-third'
of the States, and in 1884 elected Cleve
land President with Democratic House
This year the Republicans have elected
their President by very close vote
possibly without majority of the popu
lar vote in his favor, and change OF
few votes in New York and Indiana
would have defeated him.
What next?
