rally them, and It Is wise and wen to sup
PIGMENT these with such management.
But without the inspiration of principle
thousand Tildens would plan and scheme
in vain to rally the Republican masses,
for in their estimation there would be
nothing to prompt or justify the rally.
This was finely illustrated in the career
of James A. Garfield. A year before his
nomination the Republican party was all
at sea and quite demoralized on the finan-
cial question. The Democrats, true to
their instincts, had catered to the green
back craze and won few ephemeral sue
cesses. Many prominent Republicans
were appalled,. Even John Sherman, as
secretary of the treasury, was backing and
filling. trembling and temporizing.
At the most critical juncture-in June,
1s79-Garfeld, who had been studying the
question and preparing himself with his
usual thoroughness, gathered together
his manuscripts and hied him from his
home in Mentor to Boston, and in Faneuil
Hall delivered an address which was ex-
haustive of the vexed financial question.
1t tore the mask from the greenback her
esq and in an inspired strain pronounced
for honest money.
1t planted the party on firm ground. It
gave to the party an inspiration. It made
success possible and probable. 1t put Gar
field in the forefront of contemporary
statesmen and made him the national
standard-bearer in the ensuing campaign.
1t filed the party with an inspiration
which was proof against the venomous at
tacks that were made upon Garfield by an
INSCRIPTIONS opposition.
Thus inspired it was an easy matter for
organization and management to rally the
party for heroic and successful struggle.
Lacking that inspiration, torn by dissen-
sions over an unsettled policy, all attempt
to thus rally the Republican masses with
hope of victory would have been futile.
To be sure, there are millions who will
vote the ticket willy nilly. But there is a
faction, essential to success, a million or
more, who care nothing for spoils and but
little for men. who must have clear-cut.
well-defined declaration of sound princi-
Piles to fight for.
And, as was made manifest in Garfield's
case, this element-the most reliable fight
ing element in the party-responds most
heartily to the boldest and most audacious
declaration for honest and sound princi.
Piles. And the times were never ripper than
they are today for an open, bold and
unequivocal enunciation of true, thorough
going, incorporating Republicanism,
courageous stand for honest finance and
equal justice to all citizens, and fearless
opposition to wild fallacies and threaten
ing policies of every name and description.
The Republican party can be depended
upon, now as ever, to rally to the standard
of brave champion of true and fearless
Republicanism, for all that the name i'm
plies, but it is quite useless to try to rally
them in conquering force for any policy
or advocate of antiquities or evasions.

The Prince of wales and His Bride.
Lucy C. Lille in June Mppincotta

Lucy =. llliie In June LippincottA
Never, so it is said, since the days OF
Queen Elizabeth, had there been anything
so sumptuous as the preparations for the
progress of this royal bride from Gravesend
to London, thence on to Windsor castle.
1t seemed as though the whole nation had
swarmed into public view, so crowded
were the thoroughfares, the countryside
and the shores which greeted the eyes of
the Danish girl, whose nav dignity seemed
to have acquired something positively
spectacular in the splendor with which
the people set it forth.
Early in the day sixty young ladies.
attired in the red and white colors of Dem
mark, assembled at the wharves to strew
flowers beneath the feet of the princes
view bearing its precious freight, the air
was rent with cheers, at which, so relates
lady in the party, Alexandra turned
pale with excitement and chung to her
mother, hardly knowing what to do or
say in answer TO the wild tumult of
the people. Those upon the shore saw
a pretty sight, q timid, girlish figure
dressed entirely in white, VINO appeared
on the deck at her mothers side, then, re-
turning to the cabin, was seen first at one
window. then at another, the bewitching
face framed in little white bonnet, the
work of her own hands, and which, it
may be remarked, had to be replaced at
Gravesend for something more suited to
the bride of the Prince of Wales. The
princes yacht approached that of his
bride, the gangway was thrown down, and
Immediately he was seen by all those thou
sands to rush across IL and, waiting for no
formal word of greeting and to the de-
light of the onlookers, caught the princess
in his arms and kissed her, Just" as an
honest Yorkshire man said 10 me in de.
scribing the scene, ''as though she were
any other lass"

FRANCOIS coPPEE.
A Visit to the Poet OF the Poor n His
Little House In the Rue OudiDt.
Tnv1n- f-foh~

Francois Coppee, the popular poet lives
in the Rue Oudinot, near the Inulides,
one of the quietest streets in Paris His
house is small and unpretending The
door was opened by one of those hithful
domestics of the old school now almost ex-
tinct. The interior Is as simple as the ex-
terror: the only luxury is to be found in
his cabinet de trdUdiy, which contains a
magnificent library. The poet wal seated
on sofa playing with favoritecat. He
wore red flannel jacket and hue skull
cap. As he arose to receive 'isitor he
Lit cigarette, and, after smoking a few
whiffs, proceeded in the most amilble man
ner to satisfy curiosity.
YES" he said, tit is now twenty years
that have resided here; long fine for
Partisan to remain in one place. But the
house has not always been my property.
After the war, in spite of the success of my
PEASANT. my 'Intimites, and otler poems,
life was hard struggle to me. The period
was not propitious for literature. France
seemed to have lost all her glory, and gave
way to the sorrow of deception and de-
spair But, the first bitter moments over,
q reaction set in; France became herself
again, and poetry and romance once more
began to flourish. 1t was then that | was
able to buy the house and to enlarge it lit
tie by little, after the fashion of the linen
diapers, who are constantly increasing the
size of their establishments. Thus il is
easy to understand how deeply / grew at
tached to my humble castle, where nv
dear mother died, where am nov living
happily with my sister, and where every
room reminds me of some cherished event
in my chequered life"
He then proceeded to talk of his new
play for the Francois, which win be en-
titled Pour la Couronne." He said: ut
is not exactly new in one respect. since I
finished it years ago. At that time I was
on the most intimate terms with II. Porel,
the manager of the Odeon. I had pro.
duced there, with q certain amount of
success. first of all, Severe Torelh,' and.
afterward, the sJacobites.' I began to
consider that theater as if it were nav own.
and / looked forward to q triumph there
with the drama now in question which I
then called the Justicier.' Difficulties.
however, arose, and had to abandon the
idea. then changed the name of il, and
put ii aside for better moment. But ii
went against my grain TO let il moulder IN
my desk. so resolved to make il public.
| read il three years ago at Geneva, where
/ am very popular, and where I had
an intelligent audience, composed of
the admirers of Voltaire, Jean
Jacques Rousseau and Nine. de Staei. Ii
was SO well received that had TO give q
second reading. next read it at Lau-
same and Neufchatel, where it was also
applauded. Emboldened by this success,

early age. az have studied this painful
topic very closely" he says, 81 have
visited the prisons. the penitentiaries and
the asylums for orphans. I have been
present at their examinations, and, alasi
what horrible confessional I willingly ac-
knowledge the efforts made in behalf Of
these poor children, but at the same time
/ am bound to show the world that their
position is far from what it ought to be.
and that the way they are brought up, in
stead of making honest citizens of them,
only leads to an increase in the army OF
crime"
He is also engaged on another batch of
poems. "But I shall not finish them in
Paris" he says. 81 can't work so quietly
here as | should wish. Everybody knows
that | am fond of the poor and suffering,
but they are not reasonable. They are
constantly knocking at my door, and at
times my house is turned into veritable
asylum for public relief. / shall go into
the country and work there during the
summer. I should like to return TO the
Rue Oudinot when the cold comes back,
for, as told you, it is only there that l
am really at home. but my health is any
thing but good, and shall have to repair
to the south to get rid of bronchial affec-
ton which will not leave me, and which
| tried in vain last winter to cure in
Algeria"
And with these words the visitor took
his departure, but not before the poet had
offered him another cigarette and invited
him to drink to the success of Pour la
Couronne." He then dressed himself in
suit of sober gray and took his usual after
noon stroll round the poor quarters of the
town, where be finds the subjects of SO
many of his popular poems, and where the
inhabitants who know his figure will
salute him as he passes along the midst of
the crowd. Before he caught the cold
which threatened at one moment 10 carry
him off he delighted in riding on the
knife-board, like Victor Hugo, but the
doctors have forbidden the omnibus, and
his excursions are now confined TO walk
ing Occasionally he will enter a wine
shop or cafe, to study types of human
character, and sometimes he may be seen
ut the Francois or the 0deon, but these
are. rare occasions, and the hearth of his
little house in the Rue Oudinot is his
favorite place. am happy to say that
his health has improved considerably since
the weather became warmer, and there is
hope of his complete recovery at an early
date.

Jenny Limbs Tribute to Payne.

New England Magazine: No Ameri-
can poet ever received a more enviab.e
compliment than one paid to John
Howard Payne by Jenny Lind on his
last visit to his native land. 1t was in
the great National hail in the city of
Washington, whore The most dis
tlnguished audience that had cver been
seen in the capital of the republic was
assembled. The matchlcss singer en-
tranced the vast throng with her most
exquisite melodies. Costa Diva the
Flute Song" the Bird Song, - and the
Greeting to America But the great
feature OF the occasion seemed to De an
act of inspiration. The singer suddenly
turned her face toward that partof the
auditO I'm where John Howard Payne
was sitting, and sang Home, Sweet
Home, y with such patho5 and power,
that n whirlwind of excitement and en-
thusiasm swept through the vast aud
fence, Webster himself lost all self
control, and one might readily imagine
that Payne thrilled with rapture at this
unexpected and magnificent rendition
OF his own immortal lyric.
