I'm spring.
In tho Apple tree sings the blue.bird,
In the Naples the robins swing,
And the Violets blue, in the morning dew
Are whispering all of spring.
Across the meadows the zephyrs
Dance lazily to and fro;
While OdoYs sweet spring up at their feet,
Wherever they come and go.
In the garden the yellow Crocus
Its golden banners toss,
And Anemones hide ON the warm billsid e,
Mid the leaves and tangled moss;
while the brooklet CLEANS in the valley,
Who.e the downy oatkins nod:
And Lily Bells peep where the Myrtles creep,
All over the Lufted sod.

Mrs. Illuck-"What are they selling out

"Cause they're nearly eaten I'D every

A few moments after, the sagacious
Chief Of the infallible Police Brigade,
having finished the examination of va
rlous reports, began to make his prepara-
tons for his daily round of engagements.
First of all he had an urgent appointment
with the Prefect of Police. He took from
hls table bundle of notes and stuck them
into his pocket. In doing so his hand
touched an object which he had no knowl-
edge of possessing. "That is strange"
thought he, drawing the unfamiliar
article from his pocket
1t was a small pasteboard box. He
opened it, and found therein, suspended
from his watchchain, one of those copper
watches which the fakirs offer for sale on
the boulevards. "Only fifteen centimes
the delight of the children, the peace of
the parents, and only three cents!h
In the bottom of the box was a small
piece of paper neatly folded. Vidocq un-
folded the paper and read:
Diamond cut diamond hal ha ha.n
The officer quickly put his hand to his
pocket-his watch had disappeared!
"Oh, the brigandl" cried he, in his ex-
ASPIRATION. "What trick he has played
me! To think OF it-that l, Vidocq, the
celebrated Chief of the Detective force of
Paris, whose name is terror to evil-doers
throughout France-that should fall an
easy victim to such half-witted rogue as
that !" And the Chief buried his face in
his hands from utter shame.

The St Louis Globe. .Democrat says, and

The St Louis Giobe.Democrat says, and
says it well
The fact is that a great deal of undeserved
criticism is made from time TO time upon the
statesmen of the current period. They are more
capable, more honest and more useful than is
commonly allowed. IL they do n tower in IA
striking and picturesque way, il is more because
OF a changed general situation than on account
of diminished ability. They comp are favorably
with the political leaders of any other nation
the superior, of any similar body in the world.
The times are not favorable TO the making OF
So endid reputations of the old aud TeYered or
der. We are living in an age OF different re-
quirements and opportunities-an age of new
tests and new processes. If the actual truth
were to be told, it would m )st likely show that
the statesmen OF the present are quite com
petent, taking them all in all, as those of the
past. The latter have the advantage of dis
tance and tradition on Tn. ir side.
We are much Of that way of thinking.
We will send our men of the day down
into history with no mean reputation for
ability, and no reason to be ashamed of
their achievements as a whole Certainly
under them there have been accomplished
the greatest triumphs of the age in this
nation, the most marvellous progress and
the most benehcent works, and the Repub-
lie has stepped to higher levels, into
greater capacity, and wears heavierarmor
than ever before. There is altogether too
much tip-tilting OF the nose at the leaders
among men of the present day. The ac-
complishments of the time, the forward
march of the nation, the promise of the
future, the security of the present, do not
justify it,

have stood before the world condemned as
perjured under his oath of office. He was
bound to enforce the laws, and had no
power to suspend them and permit re-
belling States to seize upon the national
goods and convert them. We have but
the idea of the Dispatch that the erring
sisters would have seen the error of their
ways and have sued for leave to return.
The evidences were, and still are, that had
the Confederacy been once established, it
would have remained separate and we
doubt not an antagonistic power. Such
talk as our contemporary indulges in at
this late day is simply an exhibition of ig-
norance of the forces that impel men and
give momentum to States

THE Dry Goods Chronicle, of August
18th, places our imports and exports for
the last fiscal year at 1879, 900 tons, esti-
mating the freight at $40 per ton, and we
paid on that tonnage S19i,7S7,0O0 The
American vessels carried but 14b per cent
of the freight referred to, SO that S169, 49,
$50 of the amount went to foreign owners
aud only $2S,69l, $50 to our own carriers.
The history of our policy toward Ameri-
can shipping since 1858 is too well known
to necessitate recalling it here-lt is suf-
fieient to consider the simple facts as they
are. While England has steadily increased
her subsidies of mail lines we have as
steadily reduced ours. "Now," says the
Dry Goods Chronicle, eve are paying Ger
man steamers 81 80 mile for carving
American mails, and American steamers
for carrying the mails 10 South America,
only 10 cents a mile! As strange as it
may seem, these are the exact facts. We
are spending millions of dollars on war
vessels, and farthings on building up our
commercial marine, which would, in case
of war, become an important factor in the
defense of our coasts"

OSE OF the chiefest diversions of American

Wrong again. As matter of fact very
few laws eF condemnation have ever been
passed sout the penalty attaching for
their violation. What is done, however,
is this, the passing of laws with much
show of moral sensitiveness, but with the
full knowledge that the moral support of
the people cannot be had for their enforce
ment. We have a host of such laws out
here in the glorious climate of California.

An Electric Syndicate.

Within Che last week a powerful syndi-
cate has, been formed in England, including
some of the largest and best known Eng
lish electrical concerns, and having for
consulting engineer, Sir William Thorn
son, one of the most celebrated electricians
among English speaking people. 1t is
significant to Americans that the patents
of an American electric motor company
have been included in this syndicate. The
patents referred to are the Sprague

AT the National Editorial Association
meeting in Detroit in August Mr. Capeller
read paper on the duty of newspaper

summing up, that an organ must never
swerve from the principles of its party. 1t
must tell the truth, avoid undignifed per-
SonaIities and never be influenced by mon
etary or personal considerations. Where
was Mr.. Capeller raised? /? What has been

1T will not be long time before the
Grand Army of the Republic will cease to
be a cause for contention or to worry the
fearful-hearted that the old soldiers are
going to absorb the treasury. In the year
1888 alone the Grand Army lost by death
no less than 1896 members. The next
year will, of course, show still larger fall
ing before the sickle of the first of reapers,
for as the membership grows older, the
rate of mortality must increase, until in
the last few years that the veterans are
left, they will be swept away in vast bod
les. At the utmost, another decade will
see the Grand Army men SO reduced that
they will have difficulty in ralIying few
thousand for their annual reunion.

THE international Congress of Short
hand, lately sitting in Paris, has passed a
resolution commencing the introduction of
shorthand into primary schools. 1t may
do to introduce the phonetic branch of the
study into the primary schools, but it is to
be doubted if shorthand writing should be
attempted in the primary grades, or in any
until the writing of long hand has been
fairly mastered.

IT is late day indeed to find such ex-
preston as this in newspaper Of the
times. The Richmond (Ya) Dispatch
says:
There never was greater biunder Committed
than Mr., Lincoln committed under the advice
OF bad counseiors when he began war upon the
South. II he had allowed Tree institutions 10
have trial-if he had let the Southern States
alone-the Union feeling was so st:ong in ali Of
them that public opinion would in u lew wears
have Compelled the few seeded ''erring ssSter,,'
TO return TO their allegiance to the Union.
The Dispatch fails to see, or will not see,
that the "let alone" policy would have
been an admission of the dissolubiIity of
the Union; confession that it is but a
rope of san concession to the claim
ants holding that it was but the result of
temporary compact, severable at the will
of either party. Had Mr. Lincoln con-

purposes of the reyolutionists, he would
