Speaking of politics. Mr.. Hamilin sal

Speaking Of politics. Mr.. Hamilin said: II
am growing old in years, il not in
spirits and infirmities, but / thought
that the restoration Of the republican
party to power and to see it safely
launched on a new career of wise and intelli-
gent administration of public affairs was 1T
ting occasion for an old man who was present
at its birth to make journey of hundreds Of
miles"
Il entered the Senate of the United States
over forty years ago. That was in 1916.
In the latter year l was elected governor
OF Maine. That was our first real repub-
lican campaign, but had only held
the Office for thirty days when
the ticket with Abraham Lincoln. This carried
me down to 1865 1 was then out of public life
for four years. but in 1869 I was again chosen
to the Senate of the United States and served
in that body until 1880. / am delighted to see
the republican party in power and trust for the
good of the country that it may continue there
for many years" Mrs. Hamlin, who accompanies
the ex-Vice-President, is an attractive
bright, intelligent woman and somewhat
younger than he. She is the half-sister OF his
first wife. The first wife was Sarah Jane Emery,
born in Paris, Oxford county Me. She mar
Mr.. Hamlin in 1893 and died in 1855.
The present Mrs. Hamlin was Ellen V. Emery,
who was also born at Paris, Ne. She was edu-
Gated at home by her father, and also at the
Norway academy and Gorham Female semi
nary, Maine. Her father, Stephen En-
cry. was prominent in state affairs. He
was attorney general of Maine, member of the
governors council and of the board of educa-
ton and also judge of the district court. Her
mother was Jennette Loring, daughter of
John Loring, of Buckfield, Me-. prominent
country merchant and man of distinction in his
locality. Miss Emery and Mr.. Hamlin were
married in 1856. She has been with him in
Washington during every session of Congress,
and while he was Vice-President of the United
States, except for four years, when he was not
in the Senate. Mrs. Hamlin is therefore well
known in the higher circles OF Washington life
among those who were associated with public
affairs down to 1891 DEB r. K

II il affirmed that nv younger SON il sturdy,
rollicking chap, who fghts his nurse, throws
stones at cats, and makes faces at little girls.
Here my maternal spirit rises. am pleased 70
say my son is sturdy, trust he could also be
rollicking il il was required of him; but he is
in addition. an honest little fellow, who never
was crue. to an animal or brutal 20 woman Of
any size since he was born, and il seems to me
that since he is only little fellow, and offends
in nothing but in being the son of his mother
even vulgar malice and falsehood might respect
his defenselessness and leave his childhood in
peace.
What am curious about in this coHnection
with all this is the mental attitude Of thu writer
Did he say to himself, Here is a woman who
comes to New York and attends entirely to her
own affairs, sees no one, goes nowhere, does
nothing, says nothing. wears nothing worthy Of
the slightest notice-no use at all from a news
paper point of view. What shall do with her?
She is neither mad nor bad--only uninterest-
ing. Happy thought. / will write article
which will suggest that she Is all three Did
he say this, and the letter the outcome.
and is it quite Indifferent TO reputable, truth
loving people that he should be at liberty TO do
iR The final result of such a system, ii seems
to me, will be, that the man or woman of liter
airy or artistic reputation will become a sort of
social leper. To be the friend of such an indi-
vidual is to share the ignomy which follows the
down side streets to avoid the future poet, actor
or novelist. Good heavens they will say,
there is Jones. Don't let him see usl' What
has he doney Why he has written the great
est poem of the age, and his new tragedy is sand
to be Shakspearian. / wouldn't be seen speak
Ing to him for the worldr
For myself have merely, through sheer
force OF circumstances, unwillingly written a
few books and a couple of plays. l did not do
1t Indignantly or with felonious intent. 1 only
did it because it happened to be the thing
knew how to do in q sort of inofensive way.
Really looking at it coolly, do not see that
could avoid 1t, or that ii should bring scorn
and obloquy on my innocent friends and de-
fenseless family. endeavor as FAR as possible
to make up to my sons for the misfortunes /
have inadvertently brought upon them by
being their mother, but l find it difficult at
times, as their own inoffensive young charac-
tiers are impeached and in the midst of their
lessons and Juvenile amusements they share
the maternal ignominy, and appear-in the
hands of such persons as the writers quoted
sometimes as odious little prigs. sometimes as
violent little animals. / should like to spare
them il l could.
will close by asserting that il any apparently
insane person, attired in broid silk Kate Green
Always belted with wide sashes, and collecting
by the forco of her attractions armies Of young
men, has been amusing the metropolis. it has
been some one far more imposing, far more
fascinating. and with far more leisure on her

"COLUMBIA'S GLORY"
A Song Written to Washington In the
Last Century.

Among the relics that have an interest in
connection with the approaching centennial OF
the first Inauguration of Gen. Washington as
President is poem which is now in the pos
session Of DIR. ]. NJ. Toner, Of this city. Ex-
actly who the author WAS is not known, az only
his initials are signed, nor can it be ascer-
tanned whether the lines were sung as sue-
gested in the note to Mr.. wignell. Thomas
Wignell, however, to whom the verses were
directed, was the manager of the Chestnut
street theater, in Philadelphia, in 1874. and for
several years afterward. The sheet from
which these lines are copied bears the post
mark OF February, 1877, and on it is shown that
IL cents postage was paid. The note to Mr..
Wignell, which is at the end of the verses, is as
follows:
on the evening q washingtons brtGdays ' ''''''''
NE. THOMAS w1eSEf, ".as.
New Thester. Philadelphis.
This is the song, and while there might be
some fault found in its construction from n
critical standpoint, there can be no question as
to its earnest patriotism and devotion to the
