A Senatorial Game Of Chess.

Go,man, of Maryland, has suddenly bs-
come one of the most conspicuous demo
Gratis in the country. When those diaboli-
cal Samese twins, the Force bill and the
Cloture resolution, started on their passage
through the Senate, things looked rather
blue. Hoar and Aldrich, who had the
measures in charge, are men Of tact and de-
termination. They are not only sturdy de-
baters, but are specially skilled 10 paria-
mentary strategy. The republicans, with
the administration behind them, deaed the
common sense of the country and seemed
sure of success. The President, though in
the background, pulled the wires and ap.
parently controlled the situation.
1t was altogether one of the most serious
crises in the history of legislation. On the
issue depended, as far as human foresight
could discover, the industrial welfare of the
whole South. The enactment of the Bay,
onet bill into law meant certain disaster,
possibly race war. the consequences of
which it might be difficult to forecast.
Gormap, who is acquainted With all the
resources of fiuesse, was cool, gentlemanly,
unubtrusive and wary. There was no b'us
ter, 70 threat, no noise. 1t was game Of
was watched with breathless attention.
the astonished republicans saw that the
opposition was playing very strong game.
They made new move, but were met a
second time with the courteous word
"CheckP' Then they became frantic and
in their fury played rather wildly. A third
and fourth time German said "Checkp'
but never lost his temper, was serene and
polite. At last the decisive moment arriv-
ed Some independent republicans, who
cared more for.country than for party, came
round to Che democratic side, and then
young Wolcott made the decisive move.
Gorman looked the pieces over and simply
said, "Cheekmate. gentlemen"
It was the finest bit of tactics in this gen.
GRAFTON, and the game was won by pure
skill, without the excitement of a single
boisterous display. And the country is
grateful to German, to his fellow democrats
and to the republicans who had pluck
enough to defy the revenges of Harrison and
do their duty.-N. Y. Herald.

THE ONLY Two Who STOOD UP.-The
whites in the mountains of Tennessee and
Georgia, said President Spence, of Grant
University, Sunday evening. have keen
sense of humor, and are at times witty. 1t
was related that Sam Small at the end of
Que of bis breezy sermons requested those
of his hearers who wanted to go to heaven
TO rise. Every one in the house but one
man rose.> Then Sam asked those who
wanted to go to hell to get up. A tall,
lean, mountaineer rose and improving the
opportunity for joke. pointed long, bony
finger at Small, and said; SIT pears, par
SOD, that yol and mes the onlo fellers
standin." President Spence asked Small
what he said in reply. "What'd 1 say?'
replied the vhoop-it-up-like fury preach
or, "why couldn't say word. 1t took
fifteen minutes to get the crowd quieted
down."-Bufalo E1press.

graceful bribery.
PIERRs, s. D., January 30.-In the House
to-day Walker, chairman of the special
bribery committee made a report, but the

ing of the session offered him 81 900 if be

a few days. She seemed 10 give per1ec'
satisfaction to the manager at the private
rehearsals, 'sand all went merry as q mar
riape bell" All this was kept profound
secres from her husband; but one morning
the city was electrified by the announce
ment in the papers and npon the bulletin
boards of the theatre, that "Miss Dora
Shaw would make ber debut that night as
Julia, in Sheridan Krowles' play OF 1.-THE
Hunchback." LIE Baum entreated, appeal
ed and threatened his wife, and also the
manager: and finally seeing that she could
not be persuaded to give up her project,
told her if she persisted in it he would kill
her upon the stage, but all to no purpose.
All this became known upon the streets.
which augmented the desire to attend.
Every ticket was sold before 10 O'Clock.
and long before o'clock in the evening the
theatre was packed from pit to dome.
The curtain arose, and Dora's appear
ance was greeted with the widest demon
strations of welcome. She blushed, STAN
mered, and repeated her part as school
girl would a lesson, yet the audience seem
ed pleased For Ave nights the house was
crowded, thea the novelty of the thing
passed away: the audience wanted good
acting. and this Dora could not give them.
and the attendance became simmer and
simmer every night, and when her engage
meut closed the manager declined to offer
her another.
In the meantime LIE Baum applied for
divorce, which the court granted him
such was his love. Dora's next appearance
was in New Orleans, where her former his
tory was unknown, and wh~re she was
thrown upon her merits as an actress for
success. In this she totally failed. Aban-
doned by her friends, she fell, and became
an outcast from society. A short time be-
fore her death she wrote that grand poem,
"Beautifnl Snow" As an i'm mpartial judge
can plainly see, it bears the imprint of a
woman's hand; Its earnest. touching Ian
guage is the outpourings of q fallen w0,
mans agony, with oil the beauty and sun
shine of life gone out in darkness. 1t was
published on the morning of her death,
which occurred in Cincinnati, and the late
T. Buchanan Reed, to whom it was shown
on the evening previo Is to its publication.
proL ouuced it one of the finest poems 10
the English language and was SO charmed
with 1t that be followed as chief mourner tc
poor Dora's funeral. This is the true his.
tory of "Beautifal Sow" and its author,
Dora Shaw.

BY VIM W. LONG.
The authorship of the famous poem,
beautiful Snow" has been laid claim to
BY quite a number Of writer's. A lady cor.
respondent of the New Orleans Crescent,
gives it to the late John W. Watson. A
gentleman of the Boston Press thinks the
late William 81. Sigourney wrote 1t, and
John Cooper Vail thought he wrote some
thing like it years ago-and so it goes the
rounds. But happen to know who the
real author is, and can sabstantiate the
fact. 1t aoas q soonara.
The maiden name of the author of
''Beautlful Snow" was Dora Shaw. She
was born aud grew to woma uhood in the
Wabash Valley, Indiana. Her parents
we're not wealthy, but were good livers,
and had enough of this worlds goods to
enable them to live in cbmpar stive ease,
and give their daughter first cl..ss educa-
ton. She graduated from college, brill
liant. accomplished aud beautiful.
In 1850 she was married to F. 3. LIE
Baum, q wealthy and prominent citize1 of
st Louis. 1t is said the marriage was
brought alb ,ut by the mechanisms of her
parents, and that her husband fairly idoliz
ed her, Gf he did he took a poor way of
showing iD but that she did not return his
a made marriage.
LIE Baum took his bea ptiful wife to his
palatial residence 10 St. Louis, where she
at once became the queen Of the circle in
which she moved. But amid all this wealth
and grandeur she was not happy.
At the time of her arrival 10 S.. Louis
the celebrated theatre manager, Ben De
Bar, was catering for the please relieving
public at the St. Louis Theatre. He had a
fine company, which was supporting Miss
Annette Inca, who was playing r. star en-

the aspirations of Dora a splendid chance
to make "hit," and line bis pc ckets with

OLD SWEETHEART OF MIME

As one cons at evening DER an album all
alone.
And muses. on the faces OF the friends that ne
has known,
SO I turn the leaves OF fancy. till In snadowy
design
I find the smiling features Of an old sweetheart
ofmine.
The lamp-light seems to elimmer with a flick
er of surprise,
AS turn it low to rest me OF the dazzle In my
eyes,
And light my pipe in silence. save sigh that
seems to yoke
Its fate with my tobacco. and to vanish with
the smoke.
IT'S fragrant retrospection, for the loving
thoughts that start
Into being like perfumes from the blossom OF
the heari;
Aud to dream the old dreams over is luxury
divine
When my truant fancies wander with that old
sweetheart of mine
Though hear beneath my study. like fut-
terlng of wings,
The voices of my children and the mother as
she sings,
feel no twinge of conscience to deny me any
When Care has cast her anchor in the harbor
of a dream.
In fact, to speak in earnest, believe 1t adds
charm
To spice the good trifie with little dust OF
For find an extra flavor in Memory's mel
That makes me drink the deeper to that old
sweetheart Of mine.
A face off lily-beauty, with form Of airy
grace,
Floats out of my tobacco as the genii from: the
vase;
And thrill beneath the glances OF pair OF
azure eyes
As glowing as the summer and as tender as
the skies.

She wore when first kissed her. and she an
swered the caress
With the written defamation that "as surely
as the vine
Grew round the stump" she loved me-that
old sweetheart of minei
And again feel the pressure of her slender lit
tie hand,
As we used to talk together OF the future we
had planned:
When should be poet. and with nothing
else to do
But write tender verses that she set the music
to.
When we should live together in cozy little
cot.
Hid in a nest OF roses, with faiIy garden.
spot.
Where the vines were ever fruited. and the
weather ever fine.
And the birds were ever singing tor that old
sweetheart of mine!
Aud should be her lover forever and day.
And she my faithful sweetheart till the golden
hair was gray.
And we should be so happy that when either's
lips were dumb
They would not smile In heaven till the 9TH
er's kiss had come.
But-ah my dream is broken by step upon
the stair,
And the door is softly opened. and my wife is
standing there
Yet with eagerness and rapture all my visions
I resign
To greet the living presence Of that old sweet
heart of mine.

chard to the main road Here l wandered
about for an hour to collect myself, and
then boldly approaching the house from the
main entrance, thupdsred at the front
door and soon had mothers arms about my
neak in welcome.
Kate came down q little later, accom-
panied by her guest, and l was formally in
trodueed to Miss Beauchamp, who had been
invited up to spend the holidays.
The lady bowed gravely and gave no
sign; but when mother began to question
me across the breakfast table as to the
cause of my appearance at so unusual an
hour, and I was put to my wits ends for
romanoes to fit the situation, saw the flush
that mounted to my fair lady's cheek, and
knew why her eyes avoided mine so rer
sistently.
But we kept our secret.

lowed, no matter now. Those who are at
all interested will be satisfied to know that
the acquaintance begun in such utter viola
tion of the conventionalities ripeued into
love aud matrimony and then all became

soundly as she used to- I have tried it re-
peatedly at all hours, from IL to 5. No
matter how urgent my business has been at
the lodge, she is always awake to receive
me on my return, and her eyes, although
still beautiful, do not have the frightened
look they had when first we met. am the
frightened one nowl
