COLUMBIA SPEAKS TO GROVER.
by JAMES CoSpoy.

I called you, Grover Cleveland,
When life was overcast
BY treachery and treason.
To save me from the blast.
Two million manly voices
Responded TO my call;
Your answer, Grover Cleveland.
Was not among them all.
called you. Grover Cleveland,
When Treason's ruffisn lust
Had spat upon my banner
And trailed it in the dust.
Two million men were marshaled
To right the cruel wrong;
Pour musket. Grover Cleveland,
Meier glsteued in the throng.
A few there were who faltered.
While fewer still were those
Whose coward substitution
Gave courage to my foes;
Amid this traitor number.
Our rosters plainly tell
found you Grover Cleveland,
Unmarked by shot or she'll.
And now the flag is floating.
Beatfed by blood
OF those who rocked not wound nor death.
But fighting for It stood
On Land and sea. From east to west.
From south to Gods high heaven,
No nobler lives than those that fell
To Freedoms cause were given.
You'd take this lallowed banner
From the hand Of my brave knight
That cherished it I'm danger.
And fought its fearless fight.
! tell you. Grover Cleveland,
Ten million tongues will say.
The fiHg you failed to honor
Won't honor you to-day"
IT'S true manipulation
Once placed it in your hand;
Your coward fingers ciutched IL
And held il DER the land;
Fallstaffian valor waved it.
Did Decency not lend
A blush, to ,caue q Nations fao
Your heart cou,d neer defendf
tell you, Grover Cleveland.
In no prophetic tone,
My people want a hero
To bear my flag alone;
A bold and trusted statesman,
OF courage tried and true;
Pray tell me. Grover Cleveland,
Does the pencil picture you?

PIanchette's French Joke.

Apropos of predictions made by the
planchette board, Mr.. H. st. Maur
Willoughby, assistant cure of st.
Luke's, Cont we'll, writes to men,
ton u remarkable circumstance of
which ne was q witness. Ia coun-
try house in theMidlands aplanchette
was being exhibited, and a gentle
man who was entirely skeptical as to
its powers was asked byMr. Willough-
by whether he would believe in 1t IL it
would answer some question passing
through his mind, which he would
not reveal to the company. Certain
ly," said he; then. and not till then,
I will believe that there is no hoax or
humbng" Immediately the mystic
board rushed off and spelt the two
words, French joke" us that q
satisfactory reply?" was asked; as it
was not, planchette was asked to
explain itself. Whereupon it instant
ly wrote, What joke is French?"
None of the party remembered,
and the French dictionary had
to be consulted, when the skeptic,
jumping up with an exclamation of
surprise, exclaimed, 81 asked the
question in my own mind, and not q
soul in the room could know it, what
horse is going to win the mbridge
shire?' ana here is the answer"-as
he handed the dictionary to the 9th.

to be one of the foremost competitors
for that years race. Whether any

Wanted Divorce.

Henry Shafer, a German residing
on ranch on the Salado, yesterday
filed suit of habeas corpus in Judge
McAlllster's court, claiming that his
wife had left him and taken their two
children. He wanted the little ones,
but did not seem to care about the de.
psrture of his better half. The judge,
finding no evidence In his favor, the
children were given to the mother to
be cared for. This excited Mr.. Shafer,
and he at once applied to Copyist
Duke for q divorce, but 1t was not
granted. Nothing has been heard in
the way of complaints or a divorce
since.

Why Love Is Blind

From the Philadelphia Times
No truer saying was ever uttered
than the one that states that "love is
blind.n Love Is not only blind, but
it wouldn't see if it could. There is
no desire to look upon the imperfec-
tioDs of those nearest and dearest to
us, but rather tendency to close the
eyes tight, and what they cannot
witness we know the heart will not
guess about Can mother ever see
anything wrong in her own child? Is
it not to her always the most beauti
full and lDvable creature extant,
though outsiders may regard 1t as 8
young terror, without form or comeli-
ness? Yet that deep maternal love
turns the ugly duckling into the
whItest and fairest swan and she
wonders at the poor taste of others
who do not rave with equal fervor
over the projections of her offspring.
When man or woman falls in love
what does all the counsel of outsiders
count against their own blind ,unrea-
soning passion for each other? What
matter 1t If cooler and wiser heads
point OUT irailties that will 60 far to-
ward marring future happiness? Can
they see the spots on their newly RI
sen sun? Can they detect any flaw in
their idol? No, because they shut
their eyes to all imperfectlons, and
even if they should see them, love
with it's identifying powers would
even transform these peculiarities in
to desirable qualities that the lover
would find no fault with until the
glamour had passed away.
So 1t is with the happily married
pair. They do not detect In each
other the marks left by the flight OF
time, though to others they may show
that they are growing old, but with
the softening, mellowing influence OF
love the bride of twenty years ago
changes not to the husband who will
always seem to her the lover of her
girlhood. Outsiders may note the
growing lines of cares, the whitening
locks and STOPPING form, but as the
aged couple look into each others
eyes they see bat one image, and that
the face of the man or woman they
fell in love with so many years ago,

Decorations Kun NJ a,

London Globe.
The abuse of decorations has reach
ed such pitch that the Government
has been forced to take measures to
remedy It. Ribbon, whether red or
violet, has always been the besetting
weakness of the French character.
The Wilson scandal gave US some
idea of 1t, but only partially; the Ely
see was not the only place where de-
corations were bsrtered. The Legion
of Honor, however, is now more re-
spected than 1t was at that time; and
the lovers of ribbon have, therefore,
bsen compelled to con tent themselves
with the less dignitied order known
as Palmes Academlques which have
been so lavishly distributed of late
that their real value has become NIL.
On every public occasion the Journal
Official has published long columns
of the names of persons on whom the
palms have been conferred. With
one or two exceptions only, all these
Knights of the Violet Ribbon be-
logged to the class of the great I'M
known. whose claims to the distinc.
ton We're about as valid as those of
the man In the moon. This year the
number of palms that will be distri-
buted on the occasion of the National
Fete amounts to no fewer than $50.
Happily. tor the sake OF the order,
this is the last time that so many
yards of ribbon will be squandered
away, the Minister of Public Instruc-
tiOn having determined that the
creden tails of every applicant shall
henceforth be vigorously examined.
This. of course, will lead to no end of
ignashing of teeth, and the govern.
ment will be attacked by the disap-
pointed, but those who already have
the decoration, aud they are legion,
will naturally approve of the meas
ures taken to enhance the value of it.
It has been likewise proposed to lay q
tax of so francs on every palm, so that
the recipient may be made to pay for
the coveted honor, and thereby con-
tribute to the sinking of the national
debt. In such way the decoration
would become useful as well as orna-
mental

SHORT STOPS.
What the People are saying.

The people, at homo, following
peaceful occupations, and opposed tC
! all violence and mobocracy, mus
look upon the scene being enacted Al
Houston with strong feelings of dis
gust and disapprovsl.
The great democratic party of the
great state of Texas, after sixteen
years of uninterrupted power, has at
last net in state conven ton and split
into two opposing factions over the
spoils of office.
1t seemed but the inevitable fate OF
a party that has lived upon false is
sues and political prejudice, and
shifting policies, until 1t broke
asunder by sheer weight of numbers.
Both factions, Hogg and Clark,
went to Houston determined to rule
or ruin. The Hoggites having q
large majority of the delegates, de-
termined to ride rough-shod over
their weaker oppon ents.
The Clark men, knowing that they
might expect neither fair or honor
able treatment at the hands of the
Hoggies, prepared themselves to take
advantage of the first excuse to bolt.
But the amusing features of the
whole affair is that both factions
claim to represent the pure unadul-

At recent parish meeting of Trinity pointed to look up, collect and correct the records of the parish. The organ ization dates from 1723 and it's records are most interesting, as we'll as valuable. Many of the entries, especially in books referring to births, marriages and deaths, are incomplete, and it is very important, for the benefit of future generations, that they be corrected and completed before it is too late. The undersigned, therefore, most earnestly requests the names of all members of the parish, as far back as possible, with names of parents, date of birth and baptism, names of sponsors and officiating clergy man, combinations and officiating bishop, communicants, marriages, with date, place and officiating clergyman and witnesses. Burials, with age and place of interment and any other particulars that can be found. It is hoped that no one will neglect this duty, as it is desired to compare and verify every entry. He

It will be remembered that all members of the Episcopal church resident in Fair field, Bridgeport, Norwalk, Easton, Weston and Danbury were at one time members of this venerable parish and Fairfield was included in Trinity parish as late as 1S45. AS the records burned during the Revolution, any papers refer ring to the parish before that time would be particularly valuable, when requested papers will be copied and returned te the owners.
