The "divinity which doth hedge King or

my application to U. S. Minister Lincoln, and
as will be seen by the above courteous letter
the same fate has attended my effort to enlist
the powerful aid of II. r. II. the Princess of
Wales. But in my third attempt (proverbially
the lucky number) hope to be successful.

Butterfly's Birthday.
From the kindergarten

Dulg0Ill . LII Liidoy'
From the kindergarten
One warm, cloudless day, in early
summer, there was born baby cater
pillar, and a queer little roll he was,
too; only live "cylinder' wrapped
in black, brown and yellow fur, re-
minding one of Agoonack's little
brother who Sipsu, who wore a fur
coat and looked like rat.
On this little cylinders shaped body
were ten short legs, and on the end
of these were fen tiny feet. Six OF
these were armed with small, fine
hooks, which the owner oftentimes
found to be very useful and conve-
nient tools. Then he had little
mouth, furnished with the strongest
little jaws you ever saw, and In it car
ried a strange kind of machine that
seemed of no sort of use to him, or
to any one. Nor could he imagine
why, or what for it was placed there,
and had you asked him | am quite
sure he would not have been able to
tell you its name; but other folks,
like Miss Winthrop and Miss Blanche
and little people like you, may call 1t
"spineret."
Nor was this all. On each side Of
his head he had three shining black
eyes with which he could see very
plainly anything not more than ten
inches away.
He lived in tree and OH what
big world it seemed to be. Such
long journeys he used to take over
the hills and in the valleys along the
steep and rough roads of crooked
boughs, and once he crawled way
down the trunk and off little way
on the sand, until it seemed to him
there never had lived another cater
pillar who had travelled so far or who
had seen so much as this one, and he
was in danger of thinking more Of
himself than he should.
You must not be at all surprised to
hear that this active little fellow was
very hungry most of the time. After
hearty breakfast of tender grean
leaves, he was quite ready for a
dainty luncheon of delicate buds, and
dinner time never came one minute
too soon. For this meal he would
pick out one of the largest, finest
leaves to be found, then twisting his
little body into such shape as to
place the leaf between his legs, so
that he could hold it conveniently
with his tiny hooks, which answered
for him in place of your little fork,
he would gnaw and nibble, nlbble and
gnaw, swallowing each bite almost as
soon as it was cut off, until it seemed
as if his coat would burst open. In
deed this did happen several times
during his life, when he was forced
to change his old coat for new one,

may imagine him in a fresh new dress,
off for an afternoon tour OF sight
seeing and discovery, to come back
hungrier than ever for supper.
After awhile, something seemed to
whisper into his instinct-that means
his little caterpillar mind-that by
and by very surprising change would
happen to him, and that some day he
would be able to lift himself up in
the air far above his tall tree home,
and that his eyes would be SO keen
and bright that he could see in the
"far away" many and more lovely
things than any he had yet dreamed
of. The same fairy Whisper also
said, that if he truly wished all these
rare and delightful things to become
his, he must be careful to finish all
the work laid out for a little cater
pillar to do.
Sometimes it was quite hard to be-
lieve everything the little fairy voice
said, for she never spoke loud, nor
allowed herself to be seen once. But
Caterpillar determined to do his best
best, and whenever work was given
him to do he did it as we'll as he could
and without any waiting.
Thus time went on; and buster,
happier little follow than was this tiny
crawling cylinder, | think none of
you ever saw.
Many time, after his tasks were
finished, and when with that same
hungry appetite he sat eating the
green leaves that tasted SO good, and
made him SO strong, active and well,
he would say to himself: "This is
such a very nice world, don't see
how there can be any better one."
So the days passed. Baby Cater
pillar had grown so large he felt sure
he would never grow any more.
Then it was that some very queer
feelings came into his little body, and
the funny little machine began to
move. Caterpillar grew very sleepy,
too. His six bright eyes became so
dim, it was all he could do to see
anything. He felt faint and chilly
and longed for warmer coat to wrap
about him, and wondered what he
should do. Just at this time he
heard the fairy Whisper ask: "Where
is your spineret?' Sure enough,
where was it? 1t was right at hand,
and the little fellow set it to going,
and it began to spin off yards and
yards of soft, fine threads.
These he wove into a lovely little
hammock which he swung off from
the underpart of large leaf into the
air.
"What delightful dream bag this
is" said he, as he laid down to rest
in the pretty breeze-blown cradle.
He slipped off the old worn out
suit that he now needed no longer,
and rocked himself to and fro until
he fell asleep. Such sweet, quiet
sleep! Nothing disturbed him, and
on he slept through the long, cold
winter. BY and by the springtime
came. The little buds began to swell,
and peep out of their snug brown
cribs, and the flowers that had so
long been hidden under the snow
were thinking seriously of coming up

Rhode Island.

For the third time in four consecu.
tive State elections the Democrats have
carried Rhode Island, and for the sec.
ond time they have won the prize that
they three times earned. In 1887
they broke the long line of Republican
victories by electing Mr.. Davis Gov.
ernor. In 1888 they were beaten. In
1889 they gave their candidate A Ale
votes more than the Republican got,
and yet lost the control of the State,
because the Democratic candidate did
not have more votes than all the other
candidates together, and the Republi-
can Legislature elected the man whom
the people had voted against. Two
weeks ago the Democrats gave Gov
ernor Davis nearly 800 votes more
than Governor Ladd got, and yet failed
to elect their man at the polls. The
election again fell to the Legislature,
and the political complexion of this
was only determined after second and
third elections for members had been
held in several towns. These elections
have resulted in giving the Democrats
majority, and the man who got the
most votes from the people for Gov
ernor will be elected Governor by the
Legislature.
1t has been difficult matter to dis
lodge the Republicans. They have
fought behind breastworks SO strong
as to defeat the majority oyer and over
again. The Constitutional require
ment that it shall take clear major
ity to elect is only one of these. To
supplement it there is limitation up
on the number of representatives that
Providence and Newport can elect.
No matter how large population is
in these cities, Providence can only
elect - and Newport only six MEM
bers of the lower house, while in the
State Senate the smallest town and the
largest city have the same representa-
ton. Thus in both branches of the
Legislature the most sparsely settled
country towns have far greater rep
resentation proportionatcly than the
two cities have. To make il still more
difficult to dislodge the Republicans
the ex-member of the Legislature re-
sumes his seat for term that he was
not elected to unless within certain

the taxes on tobacco. These reduc-
tions are proposed in order to keep
Republican farmers from voting
against their party. Then to please
the Protectionists, large increase is
intended to be made in manufactured
goods. and which goods comprise the
necessary articles of life.
As regards sugar, we have always
maintained that large reduction
could safely be made in the tariff tax
es now levied upon it, but we can not
see the Justice of entirely removing
the tariff off raw sugar in order that
an increase can be made in manufact-
ured articles. Sugar is an agricultur-
al product of which immense amounts
are grown in this country. The farm.
ers of this country can not, however,
produce enough sugar to supply the
amount needed by the people, and a
large amount has to beimported. The
people should have sugar as cheap as
possible, but there is no reason why
sugar should be made cheap in order
that manufactured goods should be
increased in price.
The Republicans know that tariff
reduction must be made, and they
think it can be best done by making
the sugar farmers bear all the loss.
for the sole reason that the greater
part of the sugar grown in this country
is produced in the Southern States.
As a kind Of set of for reducing the
sugar tax, the bill provides for giving
a bounty to sugar growers of two
cents pound on what they produce.
This tax is likely to 60 into the pock-
cts of the sugar refiners. The sugar
farmer is not likely to get it.
The Republican tariff bill is sort
Of pantomime reduction bill. One
part says there is going to be re-
duction of tariff taxes, and another
part of it says there will be an increase.
The farmers are going to be relieved
by having the duty taken entirely off
sugar, and then they are told that
they will be taxed two cents a pound
for the benefit of the sugar growers.
Tobacco will be relieved of portion
of its taxes, but the necessary manu-
featured goods will either retain their
present high taxes or have an increas-
ell tax imposed III their favor. The
bill provides for cheaper tobacco and
dearer manufactured goods that are a
necessity in every household.
The bill has not yet been acted upon.
1t is claimed by those who have ex-
amined it, that the net increase of tax
es will be at least $4,000, 900 per year.

A Deceitful Bill.

The strongprotests which have been
made by the farmers against contin.
uance of the present unjust and rob.
bling tariff laws has caused the Re-
publican congress to try and do some
thing to make the farmers believe that
the Republican party is their best
friend. And so the Mckinley tariff
bill has been got up and presented to
the House of Representatives.
The fact is clearly acknowledged
by the Republicans that the tariff tax
es must be reduced, but the puzzling
question with them is how they can do
so without injuring the Protectionists
who contribute the most money, or
"fat" as 1t il termed. The Mckinley
bill is supposed to do so. A large
pretended reduction in the tariff taxes
is made by removing the duty of
sugar and repeating considerable Of
