A Young Man of Great Promise.
No young man has lived in Washing
ton for many years whose death could
be more generally and sincerely regret
ted than Walker Blaine BY unfailing
courtesy to every class of public men he
had won the regard of ALL The sharp
divisions which have existed in the par
ty with respect to his father have never
influenced him in the discharge of his
official duty. In this respect he has fol-
lowed the example of his father. =.
His ability had come to be conceded
on all sides. He filled his important po-
sitiOn in manner to reflect credit upon
himself, to honor his family, and to
make the public service creditable.
There is universal sympathy with his
parents and family A most prominent
public servant has been cut off in the
prime of life, and suddenly removed
from the high position which he was
honoring.

Daniel in the LYONS, Den.

Some years ago poor Irishman living
in Virginia came into possession of an oil
painting representing Daniel in the
Lions Den. and as the painting was much
admired Pat thought he would travel
about from town to town and exhibit and
explain the historical points of his
picture. He stood before an enlightened
audience and explained as follows:
Ladies and gintlemin here is Deniel in
the lyons din, the large sphace bechune
Deniel and the lyon is the din; they call it
the lyons din because it was the lyons
residence altogether. Av course the era
tur to the rare is the lyon himself and the
divil in him is rising at the sight of
Deniel and the fact that he had nothing
to ate at all for tin days, do not same to
make him willing to mind his gn bust
ness and lit poor Deniel alone. Tharc
sits poor Deniel here, ladies and gintle-
min and there sits the lyon there. The
lyon is not afraid of Deniel, not at all, it
is Deniel that is afraid of the lyon, be-
cause Denie knows if the lyon was to
bite him he would fale it rale plain. If
Deniel was to escape, the lyon would fale
rale sorry, but Deniel would fale a hape
bother. The longer Deniel remains
the worse tits for Deniel and the betther
for the Lyon. If Deniel should escape,
the Lyon would fale loke one of us whin

MEL escaped and wint down to Uncle I'm
erSOn and bought a WATERBURY watch
and a gun, for be might mate the same

Waterbury watch would prevnt, and if it
should not he would have something wud

MyTiads of emigrantS take their way.
Thousands upon thousands of acres
covered with the virgin forest still await
the axe of the pioneer. Holding down
a claim on the frontier, it should be re
marked, has other drawbacks besides
that of disputed possession. Many an
enterpriSing settler who, with indomit-
able hardihoOd, has cleared the waste,
just as scanty area is ready for tillage,
is stricken by that foe of the frontiers
man, malaria. What a boon to that
