One afternoon a week or SO later

deal of interest, as well as q good
deal of pleasure, for beside that the voice
was in itself agreeable the song she sang
seemed to me to be very curious as well
SIS very pretty. Though the words, of
course, were quite indistinguishable I
guessed that it was Russian song, per-
haps folk song. 1t had much of that

almost barb.ric brilliancy of color which
we feel in some of the compositions of

liant even, in its movement; yet q pro-
longed minor wall seemed to run all
through it, giving a secondary effect Of
sorrow. Here and there would occur a
repetend, consisting of succession of
tense high notes; every new departure and
variation of the tune always finished by
bringing up at this same repetend; the
influenced it upon the nearer was very
strange. It sounded like hilarious laugh
ter, yet at the same time it sounded like
wild, passionate sobbipg, and it moved
the nearer at once to pain and to pleas
ure in a way that was very strange.

Woman and the Telegram.

A woman never gets over her nervous
terror Of telegram. No matter how
familiar it may be to her a sudden terror
always clutches her as she takes the un-
opened envelope in her hand and de-
clares that she has ''felt in her bones all
day that something dreadful was going
to happen to her." And by and by,
when she gets the courage to open the
sinister missive, she looks up at you with
''teary" smile and says: tom and
Lucy will be here tonight. How glad
I ami And how foolish wasI never

CURIOSITY.

In September, 1852, | came back to
New York from FIVE years residence
as an art student in Paris, and took a
studio with living rooms attached IN
st. Marks place.
The house, which had formerly been
a private dwelling, was owned and the
three lower floors were occupied by an
old Frenchman named Archimede Mu-
selle. A large sign under the drawing

The Australian Ballot.

The workings of the Australian
ballot system are spoken of very high
ly by all honest people in States
where it has been tried. An Indiana
paper speaks Of the law in that State
thus: "rhe practical politicians
wfo were in fever Of apprehension
few days ago lest an election would
not be practical under the Australian
system will now sing another song.
The election was altogether the quiet
est and most satisfactory ever held in
this State. The foaters generally
stayed at home, and the trusted men
with the necessary funds cut no
figure worth mentioning. But the
decent people of all parties were out
in force, and, reg lrdless Of their po-
litical affiliations, expressed them
selves as delighted with the workings
of the new system. The law has
come to stay. 1t worked like charm.
1t has ushered in new and better

County Official Paper
PENSIONS GIVEN FOR VOTES.

It has been generally known for
years that the Republicans worked
pensions for all they were worth. It
was hard indeed for Democratic
soldier to get pension, however de-
serving. Year after year he was told,
"You make mistake in voting the
Democratic ticket" until starved in
to "voting right"
That pensions have been made q
matter of petty party politics, man
aged not for the interest of deserving
soldiers, but for the benefit of the
Republican party, is abundantly
shown by the official records. Doubt
full States-States necessary to Re-
publican success at the polls-get the
bulk of the pensions. In proportion
to population Indiana has more pen
sioners than any other State in the
Union. Indiana and Ohio together
have almost one-fourth Of all the pom
sioners Of the country.
Indiana, furnishing 1871 soldiers,
has Al, 1893 pensioners; while Massachu-
setts, furnishing 152,O48, has only 21,-
897, and Illinois, with her 259,147
soldiers, has but 39,943. New York,
which furnished 467, O47 soldiers, has
only 50,206 pensioners-twice and a
half times the number of soldiers and
only about the same number of pen
siopers. In Indiana one-fourth of the
soldiers draw pensions; in Ohio, one
fifth; in Massachusetts,, Pennsylvania
and Illinois, one-seventh; and in New
York, one-ninth.
In Indiana one person in every
forty-seven draws pension; in Ohio
one person in every sixty five; in New
York one person in every 100; in
Minnesota one person in 142.
There is no explanation for this re-
narkable showing, except the neces-
sity Of carrying Indiana for the Re-
publican party and the advantages of
pension giving as means to that end.
In the pension system of the United
States, as in every other department
Of the Government, as at present con-
Quoted, there is fraud, deceit, hypoc-
risy, manipulation for political effect;
pensions are given for votes and tax
payers are robbed Of millions. 7[Vir-

ODD POLITICAL F1oHE
Two OF Mr. Longs Sons Working Hard to

MONTGOMERY. Ala. July 15.-The nomina-
ton OF B. NJ. Long OF Walker county as the
candidate OF the Republican party for Gov
ernor OF Alabama has precipitated an odd
political struggle upon the people OF Walker
county. 1t Is a well-knoWn fact that the Long
family Is split on politics. The old gentleman
and two Of his sons are out-and-out Repub-
licans. while two others are tho stanchest
Bourbon Democrats in the State. and are
hoart and soul In the fight TO prevent the old
gentleman from defeating Col. Tom Jones In
Walker county. Johu Long, one OF Is. NJ
Longs sons OF tho Republican persuasion. was
elected Chairman OF the Republican County
Executive Committee. aud started out In the
campaign to rally forces sufficiently in Walker.
which Is close county, to give his father a
majority for Governor. The Walker Democrats
are sharp ones. and q bomb has been thrown
Into tho Long campaign by the nomination OF
Tom Long. ono OF b. NJ Longs Democratic
sons, as candidate for the Legislature. The
Qnoct OF tho nomination OF Tom Long has been
felt. and II 10 eyinced by the resignation OF his
brother. John Long, who was unwilling TO cad
tho Republican forces against his brother Tom.
John Longs resignation has been accepted,
dual. and decidedly unsatisfactory. He wants
Walker county TO go Republican on the dues-
tion OF Governor. but whom It comes to hepre-
sentative in tho Legislature, 1t is thought that
no will not care II 1t should 20 Democratic and
send brother Tom TO Montgomery. The Re
publicans do not think that John Long will
make an active canvass against Tom.
