AN UNORAToR1CAL CAMPAIGN.

Up to the present stage of the CAM
paign it has been most strikingly dis
tinguished by its quiet and its lack of
oratory. The difficulty of working up
political enthusiasm over the question
whether the duty on tin shall be % cents
or less, is obvious; but the dearth of oratory
much less easy of explanation.
The fact, however, is too patent for dis
pute. There are few peripatetlc exam
Piles of campaign oratory about the coun-
try, but they are sporadic and diluted.
Chauncey NJ. Depew twitters his mild
wit to occasional laughing assemblages.
General Weaver strikes the orbit of comet
like decayed eggs at unfortuitous inter-
walls. David Bennett Hill has closed his
period of unburthening his mind of para
doXes anent silver coinage and the tariff.
George sends reports of new oratorical
light whose inspiration never descends to
anything less glittering than the sunbeam
on the mountain tops. But the sum total
of it is that the oratory of the campaign is
most conspicuous in its absence
Why this suspension of the gift of
tongues has descended upon us is the con-
nundrum of the year. In foregoing dec

Ing oration-as Rudyard Kipling's Hindoos
say-through the hat-in the terms of the
latest slang.
One rather comforting theory is that
the time has passed when the American
people can be talked into enthusiasm or
fury by fluent gift of the CAB. 1t would
be pleasant to accept that explanation;
but there are others. One is that the
difference in the campaign marks the
difference between the politicians of the
present day and of the days of Webster,
Clay, Douglas, Sumner and Garfield. An
other is that oratory is being abandoned
for those arguments which are regarded
as most convincing in the domain of what
has been described as practical but may
be more specifically designated rs pecuni-
ary politics.
Most satisfactory of all is the theory
that oratory is giving away before tie

cratic platform, of which there is not
enough left after the Democratic leaders

LOVE CAN SEE.

Well may lovers scorn the proverb
Which says love is blind;
For they know the passion gives them
Sight of higher kind.
Half of life's delights are hidden.
Like the flowers at night
Till the flame of hearts ignited
Floods the world at night.
Unguessed good which lies about NJ
Love illuminates.
And. as from an angels censer,
From 1t emanatcs
A condensed and mystic essence,
Perfumed like the rose,
Soothing heartaches into raptures,
Cares to sweet repose.
Lovers see what others see not,
Theirs is deeper sight;
From what seem but weeds ofsorrow
They distill delight.
Call not blind those ardent dreamers
Who the veil unroll
From the hidden Joys Of nature
Love can see the soul.
-Gustare Beaasefgneur in Frank Leslis's.

A CUSTOM OF ARISTOCRACy

The recent item of fashionable intel!i-
gence from Newport, to the effect that a
grocer to whom Mrs. Paran Stevens owed
the very neat bill of $3.50 has seized,
through deputy sheriff, the entire con-
tents Of her stable, including two horses,
seven carriages, pony and cart and sew
eral sets of harness, is regarded by the
Washington Post as narrowing That
Journal indulges in extended moralizing
on the subject arriving at the conclusion
that Mrs. Stevens should avoid such dis
Rsters by attending to the grocery buying
herself, strictly on cash basis.
The advice is of practical value to the
common herd; but the esteemed Post
misreads the matter as development OF
fashionable life. 1t is a necessary Incl
dent of the reproduction of the aristo-
cratic customs of the Old World. For long
centuries the aristocrats of the older
country have been accustomed to let the
bills of the inferior tradespeople run up
to infinite lengths, and the practice has
been punctuated, if not emphasized, by
occasional descents on the equipages
or other personal property of the aristoc-
racy.
There has been prolonged attempt to
renew in our country the conditions and
customs of European aristocracy; but this
essential feature has been culpably over,

first to perceive that we cannot rejoice in

LIGHT AS THISTLE-DOWN.
He Blew In Vain.

IT was not very late, two hours from
witching midnight, but almost everyone had
gone to bed and the Hotel Oliver at Elwood
was wrapped in its usual nightgown OF
peace. In one of the rooms guest was pre-
pairing to retire. There was communicat-
ing door between this room and the next.
The Pittsburger who was preparing for y
big nights sleep noticed the Light streaming
under the door and framing it with fine
line of light on all sides. There was other
evidence that another man was travelling to
the Land of Nod in the next room. First
one boot and then the other bumped
on the floor. Sundry grunts and
ejaculatio. indicated the progress Of
disrobement. You can't help noticing
these phenomena in the next room to yours
they amount to much in q place of Ell
woods placid disposition. Therefore, the
Pittsburger as he slowly divested himself of
his apparel, noted the progress of his neigh
Dor in the same direction. Presently the
fiat padding sound OF bare feet on car
peted floor announced that the man in the
next room was ready to plunge under the
sheets.
The next sound was not so easily defined.
1t resembled somewhat the initial note Of O
steam engine getting under way, and a
zephyr from the cool shades of the Conoquo-
Messing might have approached the air in
some such semblance through keyhole or
chimney. The sound was repeated again
and again. Had the Pittsburger not known
for certain that there was man in the
next room he might have attributed this
singular putting, which at first was
slow and soft, but in a minute or two became
vicious und loud, to grampus slightly out
of its latitude. AS it was the Pittsburger
was driven to speculating, and being a
staid and conservative business man it
went against the grain as to what his next
door neighbOr was up to- He must be doing
the putting and blowing. What for? He had
undressed slowly and could hardly be out of
breath. Was he suffering from heart fail
ure? Could it be the prelude to fits? All
these theories and many more had crowded
upod the Pittsburger's mind when the
strange sounds ceased. Bare feet again
plodded painfully across the room and the
creaking of bed springs told that the mys-
terious puffer was in bed. Wisely the Pitts
burger decided to follow suit. He turned
out the electric light and slipped into bed.
The first thing he noticed as he
composed himself under the covers was
that the door leading into the next
room was still framed i'll golden light. Yet
the snores of the occupant showed that he
had gone to sleep. A new light burst upon
the Pittsburger's mind. His neighbor had
been trying o blow ont the electric light!
The register of the hotel confirmed this
explanation of the nocturnal putting and
blowing. The PittsDurger's neighbor hailed
from Lonelyville, Pa.
