A Sight In a GRAVEYARD.

Two visitors to Trinity churchyard, in
lower Broadway, attracted large share
of public attention Wednesday after
noon. One was a well dressed blind
man and the other was a boy of sixteen
or eighteen years of age, probably rel
ative of the blind man. The boy led his
sightless companion to the grass bor-
dered slab that bears the name of Char
lotte Temple. Dropping on his knees at
the side of the grave the blind man
passed his hands eagerly over the face
of the stone and an expression of su-
preme qualification came into his coun-
tenance when his fingers touched the
sunken letters of the name. The boy
called his attention to that part of the
slab from which all of the original in
scription except the name is said to have
been cut.
There is hollow place there at least
IL inches deep 1t forms basin to catch
water for the birds to drink and bathe
in. 1t was nearly full of water on
Wednesday afternoon, and the blind
man dabbled in the little pool gently.
He hovered over the grave for several
minutes. and became an object of curl
Gus interest to at least hundred per-
sons who stood on the sidewalk and
watched him through the fence.-New
York Times.

An English traveller in Persia had ar

Hospitality and invited him to remain
for the night. He says:
An hour later l was comfortably set
tied upon the sofa when my rest was
suddenly disturbed by a loud bang at
the sitting room door, which, flying
open, admitted two enormous animals,
which at first took for dogs.
Both of them made at once for my
sofa, and while the larger one curled
comfortably around my feet and COM
posed itself to sleep, the smaller one
evidently of more affectionate DISPOSE
ton, seated itself on the floor and COM
menced licking my face and hands, an
operation which, had dared, l should
strongly have resented.
But the white, cleaning teeth and
cruel looking green eyes inspired me
with respect, to use no stronger term;
for had by this time discovered that
these domestic pets were panthers! To
my great relief, Mr. G. entered at
this juncture.
Making friends with the panthers, /
see," he remarked pleasantly. They
are nice, companionable beasts"
That may have been true at the time
The fact remains, however, that three
months afterward the "affectionate

Pets of English Regiments.

1t may not be generally known that
there is a special reason why the Royal
Welsh Fusiliers should have a goat.
They are very ancient corps, and at an
early period of their existence it was the
custom to have goat with shield and
garland on its horns to march at the
head of the drums. Every 1st of March
being the anniversary of their tutelary
saint, David, the officers used to give an
entertainment, and after the cloth was
taken away bumper was filled around
to the Prince of Wales, and the goat,
richly caparisoned for the occasion, was
led thrice around the table in procession
by the drum major.
In 1884 the then regimental goat of
the Welsh Fusiliers died and her mai
esty presented the regiment with two of
the finest goats from fiock-the gift of
the shah of Persia-in Windsor park,
and since that date the queen has con-
tinued to supply the Welsh Fusiliers
with goats as occasion required. The
pet of the Second battalion Derbyshire
regiment used to be ram; that of the
Eighth Kings Royal Irish light dra-
goons. now hussars, a horse; the Royal
Warwickshire had an antelope, the Ros-
shire Bluffs deer and the Fifteenth
lancers tiger.-Pall Mall Gazette.

A Broom SPECULATION.

A 6-foot Yankee, seated upon 4 load Of
brooms, drove his team up before the
door of an establishment where he ex-
pected to find purchaser. Jumping
from his seat he entered the store and
the following colloquy took place:
Yankee-Can't / sell You a load of
brooms today, mister?
Dealer-No; don't want any.
Yankee-Better take 'em-sen 'em dog
cheap.
Dealer-Don't want 'em; got enough
brooms.
Yankee-I'll tell you what I'll do. If
you'll take the lot I'll let 'em go for one
dollar dozen. You know they're wuth
double that
The dealer stroked his chin for mo-
ment, as if in deep thought, and then re-
piled:
well, don't want any brooms, as
told you, but don't mind making a
trade with you"
Yankee-What sort of trade?
Dealer-Well, I'll take your whole load
at one dollar dozen and pay you one
half cash, you to take the other half in
trade.
Yankee-No you don't misterl You'll
charge me such an all fired profit on the
other half that might come out at the
little end of the horn.
Dealer-Oh, no; promise you that
you shall have the goods just at what
they cost me.
Yankee-Wall, mister, that's what
call square dealin. It's bargain.
And he commenced to unload the
brooms in pile on the sidewalk. When
he got through he walked into the store
''There you are, mister; fourteen
dozen, which l calcurlate makes just
seven dollars comm to me-"
Dealer-Yes. that's right; there's the
money. Now what goods do you want
for the other seven dollars?
Yankee-Wall, l dunno. You see,
mister, 1 hain't much posted in your
other truck, so guess I'll take brooms

laws of sentiment and nature, fell in love
last winter, seriously and determinedly,
but the object of his affections proved
difcile, not to say depressingly indiffer-
ent, even to his most tragical importun-
ings. However, one day in his presence
she mentioned a preference, almost
passion, for violets, and laughingly re-
marked that she would marry man who
could keep her constantly supplied with
the costly flowers. 1t was then Novem-
Der, and violets were rare and worth ten
times their weight in paper bills. The
young man, deciding to give dinner to
the obdurate young woman, ordered his
florist to fill the center of the table with
violets and supply bouquets of violet for
the lady guests. The florist hesitated
there was not at that time enough
violets in New York to compose but
tonhole bouquet the young man
grimly insisted ON the ample execution
of his order regardless of cost. There
upon a boy was sent to Philadelphia, ,one
to Boston and another to Washington,
with orders to purchase all the vlolets
to be had in the three cities; and the
florist shops in New York were stripped
of the purple blossoms. The night of
the dinner November violets filled the
tables center, and glorious cluster was
found by the fair guest of honor at her
place. Through November and Decem-
Der violets fairly strewed the obdurate
young woman's path. The florists came
to know the lover as "the violet man."
such absurd quantities of the fragrant
flower did they sell him. In the breath
of so adorable incense, who could refuse
so humble an offer as the young man
at length made of himself at the close
of the violet season? Over great bou-
quet of purple Parmas gracious consent
was given. and violet wedding seemed
a fitting finale to f1owery romance.
Again, in the late spring, when violet
plants had ceased their limitless bloom
ing, messenger boys were sent into the
woods to pick wild violets. Hundreds
of thousands were gathered, and under
purple and lilac canopy of blossoms
the couple were united, and received
private special blessing of one particular
florist, who says he pocketed some ST.
500 on the pretty transaction.

NO FREE TPADE FOLLY.

Toledo Commercial
This year the Democracy is denying
nothing of its real position on the tariff
question. In former campaigns it made
a pretense about protecting industries
while raising revenue, but this year it
drops the mask completely, declares
against the protective policy and for a
tariff for the sole purpose of revenue.
Not merely that, but the Democratic
party expresses the belief that the Gov
ernment has no right to levy "a tariff
with any other object In view than pro
curing revenue. 1t prates about the
high prices of necessities due to the
tariff and intimates that luxuries should
pay the whole of the necessary indirect
taxes.
There may be some difficulty in de-
Gliding what are luxuries and what
necessities, but it is fair to assume free
trade standards will be adopted in set
Ting the question. American working
men habitually use articles that are
considered luxuries by the pauper labor
ers of Europe, such as tea and coffee.
These luxuries will have to bear good
bit of the burden of raising revenue.
Not being produced in this country to
any extent the revenue is rendered GER
tain. Meanwhile clothing, stoves, car
pets, agricultural machinery, in fact all
the great lines of manufactured goods
must be admitted free or at much lower
rates of duty because they are necessities.
The free trade Democracy would never
see its mistake until the wages of
American labor were so low as TO pro-

True to His Word,

There is an unfortunate relic of sena-
torial greatness who hangs around the
Capitol during the winters. On one oc-
casion he applied to Senator Jones for
relief. "Say, Jones" said he, lend me
fifty dollars, won't you? I've got to go
home and l haven't the money. 1 can't
pay you till come back in six months?'
NO. said Jones promptly, II won't
let you have fifty dollars for six months" Z"
The old mans jaw fell "But I'll tell
you what will do. I'll let you have 800
for twelve months if you'll stay away
that long" The wreck was tickled, and.
strange to relate, turned up exactly
twelve months afterward to day and
paid back the hundred-Kate Fields

THE SIGNIFICANCE OF STEVENSON.

THE SIGNIFICANCE OF STEVENSON.
Pittsburgh Dispatch
There is considerable instruction in
the exaltation allotted by the Tammany
and other machine Democratic organs
to the tail of their ticket. Ordinarily
the Vice Presidential nomination is not
very important one, even though ex-
perience has taught us in the cases of
Tyler, Johnson and Arthur that it implies
the making of a possible President. But
occasionally, as in the nomination of
Pendleton in 1864, and in the action
taken at Chicago, it discloses con-
cession to an elemen. which condemns
the party.
The sole significance of Stevenson as
candidate is as representative of the
spoils Democracy. That was the senti-
ment clearly expressed in the speeches
by which he was put in nomination, and
is the sole characteristic of his career of
which the nation is generally informed.
How unknown he is otherwise is amply
illustrated by the fact that among all
the guesses on the Presidential ticket
before the nominations wore made the
combination of Cleveland and Stevenson
was unheard of. The only public work
for which Mr.. Stevenson was famed was
his achievement, as Assistant Postmaster
General, in decapitating third class post
masters of the Republican stripe and
! putting in Democrats. The invention
of pretexts to reduce Cleveland's civil
service reform pledges to nullity was
shallow but effective; and his elevation
to the rank of a Vice Presidential can
didate is the tribute of the party to its
effectiveness.
1t is to be admitted, as illustrating
the sincerity and value of party pledges,
that the same work was avowedly per-
formed by Clarkson for the Republican
administration. But the Republican
party has not testified its appreciation
of such notification of published pro-
fessions by nominating Clarkson for
Vice President. There is the marked
difference in the fact that the Democracy
signally rewards the man who notorious
ly overrides party and Presidential
promises, while the Republican party
has the decency to keep them well in
the back ground.

To meet the world and its ways.
