GRANDMOTHER'S KITCHEN.

The heart OF the home, 10 the household band,
Was that square old-fashioned room;
Unpainted, bat polished with soap and sand,
And swept with hemlock broom
Its splint botIomcd chairs were the easiest
known,
Tilted against the WALL
And the rocker that creaked, that was grand
mothers own
Was the restfullest Of all.
It's dresser shelves were the Kitchens pride,
With pewter plates arrow,
And platters and porringers, small and wide,
That cleaned in the firelights glow.
While General Washington's honorcd face,
On pitcher Of high degree,
TRANQUILITY shared the topmost place
With o tankard from over the sea-
Ger the mantelpiece shadow fell
From grandfather's trusty run
That served the country, sure and well,
In the battle Of Bennington.
Below, there were candlesticks quaint and old
And o lacquered snuffers' tray
With candles drawn from a shapely mold,
And finder box Away
But the cheeriest, dearest sight TO see
Wns the fireplace, glowing bright,
When the blaze rolled upward, clear and free,
And the chimney back shone white.
The iron teakettle sung on the crane,
The ashes filtered down
While grandmother stirred the Goals amain,
That the spider cake might brown.
There was plenty OF work for all to do,
Borne on the seasons tide;
Carding and spinning, and weaving, too
Bleaching and dyeing beside;
Corn, and pumpkins, and apples to dry
Butter and cheese to make
Sausage TO chop, and doughnuts to fry,
And such ovensfull TO bakcl
There was music in the spinning wheel,
There was music In the loom;
The common work, for the common veal,
Kept hearts and hands in tune.
OF there's nothing memory inds more dear,
Searching lifetime through,
Than the homely thrift and the hearty cheer
That grandmother's kitchen knewl

The Weight of a Dollar Bill.

In the treasury at Washington, the
question once came up as to the weight
of dollar bill. Scales of perfect accu-
racy were brought into requisition, and
the surprising discovery was made that
twenty-seven onc-dollar notes weighed
exactly as much as a twenty-dollar gold
piece. The latter just balances five hun
drcd and forty grains. However, the
bills weighed were perfectly crisp and
new. Trial made with soiled notes,
such as come in every day for redemp-
ton, showed that twenty-seven of them
weighed considerably more than the
twenty-dollar coin. Every paper dollar,
ON its way through the world, continu-
ally accumulates dirt, perspiration and
grease, SO that after year of use it is
perceptibly heavier.-9olden DAYS.

NATIONAL POLITICS.
Mr.. Blaine said to BE in the Race
EOrman Forging 10 the Front.

HoLYoKE, Mass, May 81. 1t Is
learned on good authority that James
Il. Blaine will accept the Republican
nomination for the presidency if Harri.
son is not nominated on the first ballot.
The information comes from Jesse NJ
Cove, OF Boston, ''the original Blaine
man, Mr.. Cove has been in Washing
ton to see Mr.. Blaine. He had lengthy
conference with the secretary Of state,
during which he learned that Harrison
ard Blaine are on friendly terms, that
Blaine will not seek the nomination if
Harrison gets it. Anti. Harrison men are
confident that the president can not be
nominated on the first or second ballot,
while the friends Of the president admit
that he will fall short OF the nomination
by about seventy five votes. If these
seventy-five votes are not forthcoming
before the convention meets Blaine will
declare himself a candidate, for Harrison
will not fight for the nomination.
D2nver.-A Washington special to the
Times says: Blaine will be nominated
by accIamation at Minneapolis. There is
no longer any doubt on this point. There
IS scarcely a man in Washington with
any political acumen to-day who does not
say that Blaine will be nominated at
Minneapolis by accamation, and that he
will accept it beyond question.
Chairman Clarkson, OF the national Re-
publican committe, has stated that Blaine
would be nominated by reclamation and
without ballot.
This opinion is quite generally shared
by every Republican of any prominence
the country.

will consider it judicious to even allow his
name to be presented to the convention.
