a State vinegar inspector and canal inspector got
into a fight In Lockport and made accusations Of
fraud bribery and corruption Now, the next point
wherein an ofce-hoder cropped up in playing politics
WAS along the Erie Canal where a number OF Demo

inspection OF the canal were putting Martin schenck

The party consisted Of John BOgert. the state En-

Of Public Works Henry T. Beach. John BisgOod
Frederick y. Klmball and Martin schenck. The
party travelled in the steamer Racquette and made
places so that Mr.. Schenck could be introduced as
the next canal boss. The Democratic candidate for
State Engineer and Surveyor made the best OF lus
opportunitles to get votes for the Tammany ticket

district if Nh Derby does not receive as large a
plurality for Senator as Mr.. Quackenbush received
for Congressman Indeed, their leaders think that
Mr.. Derby will carry Rensselaer, County as well
as Washington County.
The Republicans have further strengthened
their canvass for votes by indorsing the nomina-
ton of Henry A. Conway, brother of County
Clerk Conway in the Ist Assembly District MI
Conway is an Anti-Murphy Democrat and there
fore deserves Republican aid in Democratic
Assembly District.
In the Id Assembly District of Rensselaer,
County the Republicans have nominated Levi e.
Worden of IIoosac Falls who made an excellent
representative of the voters of the district at
Albany last winter Mr.. Worden will have large
majority
In the Hid Assembly District Of Rensselaer,
County, which is Democratic district the KepuD-
licans intend TO indorSe the nomination of Conway
by the Democrats for Asemblyman.
The Republicans have made two strong nomna-
tions in the two Assembly Districts of Washing
ton County. IN the Ist District that excellent
member, William ID. Stevenson mas been rehoml-
mated. In the lid District William Reid, popu-
lar Republican, has been nominated. The big
vote that MIR Derby will receive for Senator
will unQuestiOnably elect both of the Republl-
can candidates Tor Assemblymen in the county.
IL only remains to add that Mr.. Fassett will re-
ce1Ve fully as large Vote LOT OONeIhOr hS MI
Derby will receive for Senator. Congressman
Quackcnbnsh said to-day: Mr.. tassett VIII carry
both Rensselaer, and Washington counties" The
large Republican mass meetings held here in Troy
Gu Saturday night last show that Republican feel
ing in Rensselaer, County is intense, and gives
good evidence that Mr. Quacl<enbushs prediction
will be fulfilled. Mr.. Murphy of course will use
Mr.. Flowers money lavishly in both RensSe laer
County and in Washington County, but the Ballot
Reform law and the registration acts, imperfect
as they are. have much lessened the opportunities
to use money for candidate except in legiti-
mate manner. And Mr.. Murphy cannot roll up
a big vote for Roswell p. Flower in Rensselaer,
and Washington counties by using Mr.. Flowers
money only for Legitimate campaign expenses

the ring" "Who7" asked Miss Bart
lett. "Tom,' came the immediate re
ply. In reply to the question "why it
was taken", she was told it was for
the purpose Of convincing her of his
power. Still she persisted in her de-
msnd for its reJurn and was told to
rest contented, it would be returned.
Miss Bartlett claimed that in all
these communications she recognized
the voice of her dead friend, and on
this occasion he assured her that he
would accompany her home, and that
undoubtedly he did accompany her.
Returning to her room she lighted
the gas and sat down to read, when
she experienced peculiar sensation in
her hand, and glancing a { it saw that
the missing ring was on her finger,
but the guard ring was gone. Peculiar
fact, as Miss Bartlett relates, is that the
ring was almost perfectly black in
color, and so remained for several
days. During the night, as she claims,
an undefnable impression was made
upon her mind that if she would look
in glass receptacle that stood on a
desk in her chamber she would find
the missing guard ring, and in the
morning she went there and found it
and put it on, and since has continued
to wear both Of them.
Although no incidents as startling
as that related have since occurred,
Miss Bartlett says she frequently has
communications with her dead friend.
The lady was never in Tifin in her
life, and of her own knowledge knows
the name of but one person In the city
yet she has learned, as she claims,
much from the dead Heslington of the
town and its people, particularly those
who were his friends while living. He
described to her mlnutely the circum-
stances surrounding his death, saying
that when death came to him he
seemed to be falling asleep, when sud
denly he found himself standing in
the presence of his mother, who had
been in the spirit land for many year,
The letter of Miss Bartlett relates
many other incidents, all tending to
show that she is either favored with
communication from the other world
or that she is the victim Of an hallu-
cination as inexplicable as it is far
reaching and comprehensive. Her So
cial standing precludes the possibility
of even conni vance at deception, and
her evident intelligence and the thor
ough conference of letter to o friend
evinces mind peculiarly we'll bal
anced.

STREAM AND SOURCE.

Slender the streams that fow
Out Of The elefts Of the rock,
But they widen into the river below
Where the shepherd waters his hoeki
And behind and above them all,
The rivulets and the river,
The springs that arc hid in the heart Of the
hills
Feed them In secret forever.
Slender the streams Of good
That fiow from the lives Of men,
But united they swell TO a gracious hood
That blesseth again and again:
And, like the fountains that feed
The rivulets and the river,
The wells OF Gods grace are the source of
all good,
And he is the secret giver.

The Poets of Ireland.

Nc critic has yet given us scientific
analysis of Irish genius, but there are
certain features of it which all recog-
nize as distinctive-as peculiarly Irish.
The most marked Of these, perhaps, is
the delicate subtlety of the language
used in expressing the emotions.
Through all the ages this has been noted.
No matter whether the poet or orator
was Kettle or Norman, Dane or Saxon,
if only his family had been in Ireland
long enough, his effusions showed the
same exquisite perception of the delicate
shades of meaning in all words expressive
of sorrow or love, anger, humor or
hatred, devotion or patriotism. Is it in
the air or the scenery?
The verses of Tom Moore, Oliver Gold
smith, DR.. Maginn, Charles Lover and
many others might be cited in this con-
nection.
These are but specimens of the most
cultured Irish poets, but the great point
of interest in this connection is the enor-
nous mass of poetry and song floating
among the common people. And this
has distinguished Ireland from the ear.
liest times. The Druids and the bards,
the early Christian missionaries and later
heroes, even the transplanted Danes,
Normans, Scotchmen, Saxons, all were
poetic after their kinds, and in many Sec
tions of Ireland the trained ear often de-
tects sort of rhythm in the common
speech of the peasantry. To sketch ever
so briefly the writers of popular Irish
songs in recent times would simply be
to write book. And the supply is ap-
parently without limit, the music as
sweet, the language as tender, as deli
cately shaded as ever. No popular move
ment is without its poets; no corner of
Ireland but enjoys many local ballads.
Yet, it must be in the air.
