A We'll Bred Canine.
Fort Valley (Ga.) Mirror.

O. H. Miller has a dog that knows more than do many of his 'color" who perambulate about and walk upright on two feet. This knowing canine has furnished him a plate and cup, and has a place appointed to keep them in. When hungry, his dogship, with plate in mouth, approaches the household cook and asks for his breakfast, dinner or supper, as the case may be, receiv- ing which he carries the same to his kennel, and after satisfying his hunger washes the plate and puts it away in its proper place. When dry he goes through the same programme with the cup. 1t may also be said that the dog is Baptist, as nothing can tempt him to enter church ot another de- nomination.

first of these is now to be found in the books, and it is sung to the four sixes meter tune of "Wisconsin. :" It is as fine bit of work as you can find in modern hymnology, for it not only breathes spirit of devout piety, but is fashioned with all the skill of an artist in the mechanics of versifica- tion:
 0 thou who in the ways Of this rough world art faint aad weary
 grown,
 Thy dropping head upraise
 And let thy heart be strong; for, better days, Trust still that future time will unto thee
 make known.
 But here in "Dream Faces" we have the Badger poet at his best; that is to say, in the realms of pure fancy: The faces that we see in dreams Are radiant, as if with gleams From some diviner world than this sweeter, sadder tenderness Darkens the depths of loving eyes; more seraphic beauty lies
 On lip and brow, than ever yet The gaze of waking mortal met. Q blessed mystery of sleep!
 That can recall from out the deep Of vanished years, and from the tomb The loved and lost to life and bloom; That makes each memory 6 bright Reality, and fills the night
 With gladness and sweet thoughts that stay Like lingering perfume through the day. --~- None but poet could have written those lines; none but good man could sleep sleep presenting the beau- tiful images of which this singer sings so beautifully. In his "Philosophy of Sleep" has not the ingenious Robert McNish most properly quoted these lines of the dear Stoke Newington bard:
 The wicked passes hideous nights
 And losses to and fro;
 He hears such sounds and sees such sights
 As rend his heart in two.
 But he who walks in wisdOm's ways
 From evil shall be free;
 As placid as his virtuous days
 Ills vrtuous nights shall be.
 We regret to say that this good poet and good man has not published mach of his verse in later years. We understand, however, that he contin- ues to write as of yore, and that all his poems are carefully preserved. Some time we shall have them. Per- haps Mir. Stedman and Miss Hutch inson will get them for their history.
 Base politics, whose feverish breath
 The soul of man infuses
 With poison that entails the death

The Political Situation.

The English press has spoken, the En-
glish manufacturers have spoken, and
now the English Minister has spoken,
andthey all mean Free Trade and strongly
favor the reelection of Cleveland as the
avowed representative of Free Trade
ideas and interests. 1t is put forth as an
apology for the Democratic partisanship
Of Minister West, that he was entrapped
into the written expression of his Cleve-
land sympathies, and that it is not fair to
his views or to the disadvantage of the
candidate whom he privately favor-. If
the English Minister was caught by the
methods of the detective, or by the inl-
prudence of friend, it matters nothing
to the real bearing Of the fact that
he asserted himself as an advocate of the
election of the Democratic candidate a.
the Chief Magistrate of the Nation, be
cause thar candidate stands committed in
pending negotiations aud political is
sues to measures and opinions deemed
more favorable to English prestige and
interests than the ideas and policy
to which the Republican party and its
candidates are pledged. Whether Minis
ter West is recalled or censured by his
overlooked by the Tory-Mugw
bury Cabinet matters nothing to the in
trnsic merits of the party and the candi-
dates whose success he sought to promote
II is enough that Cleveland is the British
candidate andis fully committedto British
ideas and policy. This was as well known
before Vests letter came to light as now.
II Cleveland and Bayard now make a
show of disapproval of the blunder of the
English Minister, it is only because he
has been caught in the act of his political
intermeddling. To their eyes his offense
is in being detected, and not that he is
their ally. They have long known well
that he is their political friend. Ii would
be base ingratitude on his part if he were
not. He, Chamberlain and Upper com
pletely mastered them in diplomacy, made
them the tools of the British Government,
gravely compromising American rights
and interests for the benefit of Canadian
British claims and interests. The British
Cabinet just rs well as the Minister at
Washington have been and are hopeful of
the reelection of Cleveland, and this Bay
ard and the President have perfectly well
understood. 1t will be in vain that they
now attempt to make poor Sackville West
the scapegoat of their sins. They GER
taiuly can not do less than to demand the
Salisbury Government to promptly recall
him. No Washington official with drop
of American blood in his veins could do
less. The merest tyroin diplomacy knows
this is imperative. But this changes
nothing, mitigates nothing, qualities moth
ing, in the fact that Cleveland and his
party stand ne the representatives and ex-
ponents of English Free Trade, which, if
dominant in this country, would make the
[ uited States the commercial domain of
Great Britain precisely As are now Ire

PRESBYTERIANS ON PROHIBI-
TON.
The Third Party Movement Condemned
by Well-Known Clergymen.

PHuADELPHIA, Oct. 22.-At the meeting
Of the Presbyterian ministers this morning
the Rev. II. F. Lee, in speaking upon tenn
peranee in politics, said;
The Prohibition party, to Judge from the
Advancement it has made during the past
twenty years, cannot hope to be successful
until the millennium is over and long forgot
ten. We would. if possible, abolish the
whole rum traffic, but it is matter of great
JOY that voters in many of our States favor
Prohibition. We want this whenever it can
be had and enforced, but Heaven knows Pro
hibtion does not prohibit, and it is pity
any one should SO claim. The Third party
is the main aid and hope of the liquor ele
ment, which today is patting the Prohibition
lists on the shoulder and encouraging them to
stick. In words, this party is the Prohibit
ton party; but in acts il is the anti-Prohibi-
ton party, in opposing the party that is the
only hope of Prohibition or Temperance in
the country The Republican parry is today
taking stronger position on the question of
temperance than it took on the question of
slavery, and is the only hope of the ultimate
attainment of the result.
The Rev. DR. William p Breed agreed
with all that Mr.. Lee had said, He was a
Prohibitonist, but he was highly in favor of
the high license law that works so admirably
He did not like the Third party movement,
and thought some of the assertions of the
Third party were almost blasphemous

CLEvELAND's PORTRAIT.
Drawn by Faithful Hand by an Orig
inal Mugwump.

From the New York Independent
Henry c. Lea, the famous publicist of
Philadelphia, was one of the original Mug
wumps. He verify thought he was doing the
country service in advocating, in 1884, the
election of Grover Cleveland as a Civil Ser
vice Reformer. Mr.. Lea describes his con-
duct in the severest language yet applied to
1t; but 1t is not too severe. The meanest of
all persons is the hypocrite. But this is
precisely what Mr.. Lea declares Mr.. Cleye-
land to be, and worst of ALL he proves the
case against him. 1t would be n blow to the
interests of public morality as he shows, to
as painted BY Mr.. Lea in few bold strokes ::
No professional spokesman, openly pro-
claiming his belief in the prostitution of
patronage, could have wrought one-haf tie
injury to reform as the hypocrite smilingy
asking Art thou in health, my brother?'

warning all place holders against 'obtrusive
craftsmanship, was of interest only as a curl
ously superfuous exhibition of hypocrisy.
The President himself debased his high
office and broke with all its tradition bv in
terfe ring in the local politics of New York
City to aid the election of a former henefi-
ciary of Tweed.
The only effect, indeed, of Mr.. Cleve-
lands reform professions was to give a deep-
er shade of guilt to this whole scandalous
performance. Before he completely threw
off the mask, to save himself by pretending
to remove only for cause he deliberately
smirched the regulations of thousands of
honest men, who were denied all opportunity
of defence against secret accusations.

sufficient to brighten the most beggarly polit-
ical rooster.
"To secure the control of the machine in
dispensable to his denomination. he has en-
couraged the encroachment of the legislative
branch on the executive, for the foul bust
ness of Congressional office brokerage has
never been more extensively rife or more
cynically public than that in the scramble for
spoils which his policy has stimulated.
The effect of these transformations is
reflected in the massive egotism of Mr.
Cleveland's recent letter of acceptance, in
which he assumes that he is the Government,
and lectures the opposition in Congress as
though resistance 10 his will were treason
able.
incidentally, may call attention to the
deplorable aspect of MIR. Cleveland's and his

LIGHT INTO DARK PLACES


LOUISVILLE. Ky. Oct. 23.-The Republi-
cans in this former Bourbon stronghold are
very active. There is every indication that
Wilson, the Republican candidate for Con-
gress, will be elected. Mr.. Wilson was
really elected at the last Congressional con-
test, but ballot boxes were stolen and their
contents doctored so as TO show his defeat by
l47 votes. The Republicans propose that
this sort of thing shall not happen again
A leading business mana Republican
told me that most remarkable chang was
coming over the political condition of Louis
vile. The new Commercial Club there, or
ganized for the better development of the
natural resources Of the State, is largely of
Republican membership, and is doing good
work in attracting manufacturing interests to
the city and State. These interests depend
largely upon protective tariff.
81 believe" said the gentleman to whom
refer, that in less than ten years Lou syille
will be Republican stronghold, and if the
development of the State continues as it Is
now beginning, in a very few years Kentucky
will be Republican State. l should not be
surprised if it would be doubtful State
by the time we will be running Republican
candidate to succeed Harrison's administra-
ton. Louisville is growing very rapidly.
We have increased our population largely
during the past year, and most of those who
have come here from other States are Repub-
accessions from the Democratic party.
Many are coming over because they believe
| in Protection; many others because they do
not believe in Cleveland. While these men
may not say much about their ehange-for
business reasons-they will quietly vote our
ticket" c. NJ. X.

assistance of foreign allies the Democrats
have infused into the ranks of their oppo-
nents a more intense and determined pa
triotism, and furnished them with more
favorable conditions of success. Shall the
Republicans of Maine be taken by sur
