The New Eden.
BY REV. CHARLES I. CANEiFIn.

by REV. CHARLES T. CANFiELp,
The angel stood In Eden's gate, without, our
parents Of yore;
Beyond them the wilderness earth, waste sea
and desolate shore;-
The garden and bliss behind them. the woi ID
and sorrow before,
The Eden for them so brief, the hard earth
heneeforth evermore.
outstretehing DER earth his sword OF flame
the angel calls, Behold"
And away from land and sea the sky as cur
tain uprolied.
Lo, another earth lay there in glory Of azure
and gold,
An earth more noble and fair than language
OF mortal eer told.
The desert grew iowery fields, the wilderness
hsrvests bore;
cities the shore.
The world made fit for marriage with heaven
its bridal garments wore.
The beauty OF Eden was there. the good OF
Eden and more.
This the Eden keep for you still turning my
flaming sword.
Go forth and possess il, lead you. the angel
OF the Lord;
blessings that lurk,
Go forth and possess them. l lead you, my
name in heaven Is Work"

Eloquent Advocacy of Wisconsin's Favor
ite Son In 1888.

The rank and file Of the Republican
party look trustfully to this convention
for wisdom, and they will tolerate no
mistakes. They demand for leaders those
who have walked the mountain ranges
in full view Of men, who have kept their
feet out from the swampS and the bogs
OF life. whose careers afford no am
bush ground for the enemy, whose
adherence to the principles Of the
party have been without variableness
or shadow of turning" who are strong
in the robust and attractive qualities Of
leadership; men who came from the
ranks of the people. who have borne the
burdens of life common to the people.
men whom the people may cheerfully.
and without mental or moral protest,
follow to the end-for what they have
done and for what they are and for
what they may be reasonably expected
to do. We bring you such a man.

am about to present name for your
consideration-the name of man who
was the comrade and associate and
friend OF nearly all those noble dead
whose faces look down upon US from
these walls tonight; man who began
his career Of public service twenty-five
years ago. whose first duty was coura-
geously done in the days of peril on the
plains Of Kansas, when the first red
drops of that bloody shower began to
fall which finally swelled into the deluge
of war, He bravely stood by young
Kansas then, and. returning to his duty
in the national legislature, through
all subsequent time his pathway has
been marked by labors performed in
every department of legislation. You
ask for his monuments. point
you to twenty-five years Of national
statutes. Not one great benetcent
statute has been placed in our stat
ute books without his intelligent aud
powerful aid. He aided these men
to formulate tho laws that raised our
great armies and carried US through the
war His hand was seen in the work
manshlp of those statutes that restored
and brought back the unity and married
calm Of the states. His hand was in all
that great legislation that created the
war currency, and in still greater
work that redeemed the promises Of the
government and made the currency
equal to gold. And when at last called
from the halls Of legislation into high
executive Office ne displayed that ex-
perience. intelligence, tirmness and
poise Of character which have carried

PORT TOWNSEND, Jan. 12.-[SpeciaI.l T.
curious incident of the sea giving up
Its dead has just come to light. On Satur-
day while the wrecking schooner Lucy
Lowe was dragging Port Townsend bay
Tor her lost anchor, she raised an old
worm-eaten boat from the bottom OF the
bay.
When the boat was lifted to the surface
1t turned over and the remains of human
skeleton with clothes on, fell from it into
the water. Investigation developed the
tact that the old boat thus raised was a
whitehall boat formerly owned by Bart
lett Il Co., and the skeleton was the re-
mains of Thomas Drummond, young
man who disappeared over two years ago
On September 6. 1885, Bartlett & Co. sold
a lot OF supplies to the, English
ship Nineveh which was at anchor in Port
Townsend bay ready to sail for Sydney.
Thomas Drummond was Bartletts boat
man. He was an expert with the oars and
sails and had been with the firm a long
time. Drummond was sent to the Nineveh
with boat load of stores. The day was
very stormy, but he reached the ship in
safety, unloaded the stores and started
back TO shore, but was never seen again.
All efforts to find the boat or body failed
until the Lucy Lowe brought them to the
surface. The lost boat was heavy with
pig iron ballast. The supposition is that
she was filled with water by the waves and
went to the bottom, and that Drummond
became entangled in the sails or ropes and
could not save himself
