ing as ever was the cook who refused
to carry the baby out of burning
building because she wasn't hired as
nurse. This model is man of magniti-

students always like to sketch him. Re-
Gently he took an exceptionally grace
full pose which would have aroused all
the artistic instincts of the GLASS had it
not been accompanied by a most dis
tressing smirk Try as they would.
the students could not bend their en-
ergies on their sketching Every time
they looked at the expression of the
models countenance they forgot all
about his fine muscles and attitude,
and smiled at one another or looked
veXed.
Finally some one made bold to ex-
plain to him that his look was bit
harassing, and asked him to change it.
He drew himself up proudly and said:
Cant do it. Dat look goes wild de
pose" And it did. The smirl1 was re-
sumed, and it remained until the end of
the posing. Not much serious sketch.

The fashion of seating dinner par
ties at small tables, introduced in Paris
one or two seasons ago. is finding favor
in New York. Hostcsses who entertain
from twenty to thirty guests at dinner
have discovered that much better social
results are secured by this arrange
ment, and prettier effect given to the
room. 1t must, however, require con-
siderable care and talent for nice adj
justment properly to group small par
ties. Lately an intrepid hostess, giving
a dinner to a company of thirty. put
them at six tables--five at each. At
some there were necessarily three.

Newspaper Notes.

The Hallowell Register, an excellent local
paper, recently put on dress of new type.
The Republican Journal, Belfast Me-, is a
model country paper containing letter each
week from every town in the county (Waldo)
and devoted to general news and informa-
ton. Republican in politics, but liberal on
general subjects, consistent with the pro-
prieties of a family newspaper. Former res
idents of that county now residing elsewhere
will find it like a weekly letter from home

Mr.. E. c. Plummer editor of the Bath In
dependent, sailed from New York for Ant
werp, Wednesday, June /, for a trip through
France, Prussia and the British Kingdom.
He will be accompanied to Paris by Mrs.
Plummer, where she will remain to continue
her work in painting, which has already at
tracted much favorable attention. She will
pursue her studies in the summer schools
and art galleries of Paris.
The Baltimore Sun is one of the last of the
great dailies of this country to adopt the
quarto form. 1t had been compelled by its
increasing business to enlarge the size OF
the sheet until it became unwieldy, and
then to issue two and four page supple
ments, so that the compact quarto form
must prove very acceptable to its many
readers and patrons. The Sun does not do
things by half, and its new machinery is the
best that money could buy. 1t has two
presses, each capable of printing 5000 pa
pers an hour, and that can turn out with
equal facility almost any number of pages
from four up to thirty-two. The writer feels
a personal interest in the Sun, has Il person

O sing of d scud,ling sky in June!-
He who can sing it sweet
" hen the yachts of God are all abroad,
Ten million in the fleet:
Nor mightiest hand in all the land
Can stay one snowy sheet!
The oriole and the bobolink
Fling challenge to the quail;
The clover mods to the milkweed pods,
And the daisies dot the swale;
The soul of the rose on light wing goes
And sweetens all the gale.
All, fair is the green world underneath!
But O for the blue above,
TO leave the grass and lightly pass,
AS the pinion of dove,
To the snowy boat that seems to float
To the haven of my love!
Then hey for scudding sky in June,
When the world is fresh and sweet;
When the yachts of God are all abroad,
Ten million in the fleet
Nor mightiest hand in all the land
Can furl one flying sheet!

The Old Stump Fence.

Written for the Republican Journall
OF all the scenes of childhood, of JOY and of
grief,
There's one that in the foreground stands
out in bold relief.
And I've only just to close my eyes to pres
ent sound and sense,
To be carried back by memory and see the
old stump fence.
fanked the meadow, too,
And stared like some grim fortress where
the BURBERRY bushes grew.
And through the stretch of wood by the
fringng alders dense,
1t rose, solid phalanN, this rugged old
stump fence.
PERHAPS Won never saw one? If not then
come with me
To Partridge HILL which once was fair with
many a stately tree,
For the pine and oak there mingled, but
alas mans diligence
Reduced the trunks to cordwood and the
roots t. build a fence.
They We're set III upr slit po>tures and hy a
tine-worn code,
The black >tululs faced the pasture, while
tile roots turned toward the road.
They We're much adorned with rootlets and
strange protuoerance.
But it quite ,ictied invasion, tins useful old
stump fence.
There were curry : and angles many, and
vicious little shoots,
And spikes am baby spikelcts branching
out from a / the roots
And theg deftl, joined each other like an
army vast, immense,
shoulder standing close TO shoulder, this
inpregnable Old fence.
Many times in romping childhood have
scaled the jagged pile,
AS some warrior scales the fortress to re-
deem his flag the while,
Never counting scratch or tumble, as a
wholesome recompense
For my boldness in presuming to climb the
old stump fence.
Mother Nature ever kinder than her care
less children are,
Sought to robe each stump in beauty as the
evening robes the star,
50 she brought green vine and tendril, with
her sweet beneticence,
And trailed them gently over the old I'M
slightly fence.
There they grew and twined and bossomed
as the varied seasons Went
Graceful bean and rampant Jenny to the
scene their beaut lent,
While the eematis in sweetness, softly robed
in foliage dense
Every curve and grotesque figure of this
queer, ,lnsightly fence.
Sparrows built their nests within it, and the
back-bird halted there,
And poured his joyful music on the fragrant
summer air,
And the wise owl perchel above it, with his
strange and odd parlance,
And the squirrels chartered briskly around
the old stump fence
Since left the odd farm cosy, have gazed
on many a wall,
Picket rail and barbed Wire, but the stump
fence beats them all.
Iou may rear your wooden hedges, high OF
low, OF thin, on dense,
But III keep place III memory for my
clidhood's ancient fence.
Many years have marked their cycles ON the
scrolls of fate and time,
Since | played about the pasture where the
green vines used to climb,
But no pleasure of the present, wears of
change, on strange events,
Can ever blot from memory the useful cid
stump fence.
! see il oft in fancy when the day fades in
the west,
When the twittering swallows softly seek
each cosy little nest,
| shall treasure it iii memory and for many
long year hence,
| shall see i'll twilight visions the ugly old
stump fence.

Balm of incense; rest of shadow; tangled
Veil of leweled showers;
Hymning chors of happy music backward
tossed from earth to sky;
The full beauty of completeness in rich
chorus lifted high.

With which hope, the blest, doth chime,

I'VE are approaching the third presiden-

but wholly illicit atvantagef Like every
administration party, 1t Is Justly entitled
n wise policy, from the honest and
efficient conduct of affairs, from strict ad-
hesion to the promises by which 1t solic-
tied public support and from the faithful
fnlhlIment OF voluntary executive pledges.
TO all these legitimate advantages the
party is entitled. But so far as it's admin
istration has expended sixty millions of
dollars In salaries with view TO the next
election and to the continuance of it's
party In power. so far it has betrayed the
so far it has deliberately bought party SUD-
port with public money. The disposition
of that fund WAS committed to 1t in trust
for the public welfare. and every cent Of it,
which this administration has spent to ad-
vance party interest. has been spent in
betrayal of q public trust. If the national
PATRONAGE fund were $500 OCT, 900, instead of
S60. 000.t00. 1t 10 not impossible that,
in the present development of the party
system, the party of this administration,
as of any other. by the shrewd expendi-
ture Of that sum might maintain itself in
power. But the 0fiense 10 not measured by
figures. The abnse of trust of sixty
millions is morally as great as an abuse of
o trust ten times as large. 1t is not all
abuse peculiar to this administration.
There has been no administration since
that of John Quincy Adams which has
not done the same thing. 1t was
long done amid general public apathy
arising from the good natured and careless
feeling that it was the natural order OK

grew mp gradually amid general Ignorance
of its tendency and public Indifference.
The spoils system may plead that although

with the general acQuiescence. But that
is only to say that public evils and abuses
do not arrest attention and arouse organ

public perils. That is now distinctly seen,
and this league 10 the living. active. aggres-

the public mind to tho fact that the prosti-
