During the four years of Democra-
tic rule the country was prosperous
and each recurring year brought
with it increased confidence and fac
tories sprang up, as if by magic, in
every part of the country and the la
boring man and his family were hap
Ply. But, is it SO, under the Harri-
son administration? Shops and fac
tories are being shut down all over
the land; wages are being reduced
In the mining regions of Pennsyl-
vania, the miners wages have been
reduced until the miners do not
average ten dollars month in wa
gcs. This is protection.

While at College he read Chaucer
Spenser, Goldsmith, Grey, and Mil
ton, but his soul was i'll at ease. II
seems singular that mind SO medi-
tative and so philosophical should
have been dissatisfied in this "gar-
den of great intellects"; but his love
for nature surpassed his love for all
else, and, "amid these grand old halls
grey with age and rich with historic
and intellectual renown, for centur-
les the sacred nurseries of blooming
YOUTH" he longed for the freedom
of his native hills, and the beloved
lakes and mountains of his earlier
days. His vacations were spent with
his sister, Dorothy, who was the
companion of his rambles. She was
naturally endowed beyond most wo
men and exercised great influence
over the poets mind and character
She it was who softened his original
ly harsh nature, called forth his shy
er and finer sensibilities, and became
to him "poetical conscience"
In 1871 he took his degree of A
B., left Cambridge, and soon after
visited France, Italy, Switzerland
and Germany. He travelled on foot
tramping through forests, climbing
mountains, penetrating humble cot
tages, and meditating on the beauty
and grandeur Of nature.

and pump iii the rear of the stable supplies
the stock. A large porch runs the entire width
OF the house. and number of stationary seats
have been placed here for visitors and friends

IN Mr.. Douglass estate was purchased BY him
from Mr.. Van Hook, one of the founders of
lnlontown, now Anacostia. The site on which
MIR. Douglass residence now stands was long
known as fuckers hill" From this elevation
one can see nearly all the points of interest for
miles around. Since Mr.. Douglass purchased
the land from Mr.. Van Hook he has made
many Improvements in the house, as well as on
the grounds.
On account of the great height of his house
and the great cedar trees that surround it Mr.
Douglass calls his place Cedar Heights Mr.
and Mrs. Douglass are hospitable and entertain
many visitors.

a sunset glory lines the west
With streaks of crimson, in the pine
The raindove murmurs on her nest
And myriad golden starlets shine.
Upon the fair calm hour of night,
As she her sable veil lets fall:
And swallows from the dizzy height
OF iyy'd steeple twittering call
As twilight fades, and darkness grows
Upon the landscape; and the leaves
OF dew-filled flowers slowly close,
And martins gather meath the caves.
On the breast of the silvery stream
The lilies CULVER, whilst the sigh
VI rusthng night breeze, like a dream,
Stirs their white blooms and passes by
The sleeping swan, with ruffied wings
And head reposed, slow drifts on;
The nightingale melodious sings

The FLASHING Of the mill-wheel falls
Like music on the farmboy's ear
As, homeward trudging, blithe he calls
And whistles when his cot is near.
The lights 60 out in the cottage homes.
The labors Of the daytime cease,
Abroad the king Of slumber roams.
And in his train are-rest and peace.

Curious Incident.

agonies Of death, 5000 people scattered over
the hill sides and safely ensconsed in the top
of trees. a thousand men and bows chasing a
rabbit, scared nearly to death, yelling, laugh
ing. screeching as they run. is a picture few
people ever see. And yet il was one presented
in Cobb county to-day.
Just three minutes after Sheriff McClaine
sprung the trigger which started Ed. Frey's
soul on Its way to eternity, a great tumult
came from the hillside almost directly in front
of the gallows. Upon that hillside 1000 Of the
5000 who saw the execution were gathered,
and from it came the cry:
Catch him.
"There he goesl"
''Stop him.
''Some one shoot him."
The cries were faint at first but with each
breath they grew louder and more general.
and, with feeling akin to fear. everyone upon
and about the scaffold glanced in the direction
whence the noise came. And this is what they
saw:
Men and boys rushing pell nell. heller

ran. In body they went rubbing, punching.
tumbling, and falling against each other. For

minute later and the crowd began to r6turn
to the hillside, laughing and testing as they
came. In the center Of the foremost group was
tall, raw-boned farmer boy, and in his hand
ne held something which seemed to be attract
ing the attention of those around him. As he
gained the apex Of the hill he raised il high
over his head so that nearly every one Of the
1t was a rabbit.
The motley cotton-tail was secreted under a
bush in the crowd and Just after Frey had been
dropped something started it out. The long
cared cabbage eater began dsrting through the
crowd. and several parties tried to catch It. but
the nimble-footed quadruped eluded the grasp
and the scramble for its ears became general
Some one started the cry:
stop him.
And IN second almost a thousand voices
had taken it up and as many hands were catch
ing at the fleeing, darting animal. The crowd
became excited and with ono impulse started
on the chase and yelling as they went. But il
was the farmer boy who caught the rabbit.
Judge Winn offered the bow SIS for one of the
feet but the offer was declined.

Blaine and Reed.

THE MrGwCMP GOSSIP REGARDING THESE MAINE
STATESMEN.
Washington Correspondence Lewiston Cfe Journal
WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-The journal CORES
pendent called the attention of Congressman
Dingley to paragraph from the Providence
Journal (mugwump), stating that Mr.. Blaine
opposes Mr.. Reed for Speaker, and also to
paragraph in another paper Cboth copied ex-
tenslvely), ascribing to Mr.. Reed opposition to
Mr.. Blalnes appointment as Secretary of State
and solicited his comment thereon
''Such statements" said Mr.. Dingley s.are
the inventions OF the few papers and politicians
who regard it as their mission to abuse Mr..
Blaine and to ascribe to him all manner of
petty acts and opinions. Both statements are
without foundation. Mr.. Reed has not opposed
Mr.. Blaine's appointment and Mr.. Blaine is not
opposing MIR. Reeds candidacy for the speaker
ship. On the contrary he speaks of it kindly
and favorably, although, of course, he does not
the canvass going on for the position. Mr.,
Blaine and MIR. Reed are friends, and the at
tempt to represent them as antagonistic to each
other, is silly and groundless.

that I'VE know Gen. Harrison has never i'm,
tended to appoint him, and has not yet acceded
to the demands of Mr.. B. s friends and that he
rendered the position to Mr. Sherman etc.
Now, there is no foundation for this assertion.
as am informed by friend of Gen. Harrison
who knows. Mr.. Sherman never was rendered
the position, and the first gentleman to whom
place In the cabinet was rendered was Secre-
tary Blaine; and the tender was made to him
in the most fattering terms, as soon as Gen.
Harrison was chosen by the electors, and ten
days previous to this comment--before which
election Gen. Harrison had said he did not
propose to tender anyone a place. !"
