Mr.. EDITOR. having seen
anything in your valuable paper
from Chlnquepin, have concluded
TO write you, and inform you that
the Populists are gaining strength
since the wipe out of silver. The in
curry is now, what has become of
the would-be tariff reform orator that
made US such speech before the
election. He had brought out from
my friends store goods To show the
people what great reductions would
be made If the party was elected.
They were elected and we have wait
ed patiently, and we have neither
heard from reform nor our tariff re-
former. and our people are much in
need of the reduction. Toll the
young orator that the reduction has
been so long coming that the goods
lying over are getting badly moth
eaten. Silver has now got the yell
low fever and we are afraid our
friend has the same disease. Does
he still talk reform, or has he gone

For year everybody is absorbed in
the hot pursuit Of living. Then there
is a flash of red and the rattle OF drums
up the street, woman and now a girl
go by with baskets of flowers; then me.
dressed alike in blue gather on tt
street corners and collect on the pla
forms of the elevated road. They are
grizzled and bowed, but there is rhythm
in their step. The meaning of it all
flashes out in living picture. There
were days when the roll OF drums and
the echo OF feet in step sent the people
wild in street with beating hearts, The
march Of a regiment bore with it hope
anguish, love and prayers. These were
the men, then young and straight, with
everything to lose and all to gain.
With Mulvany one may cry out @Oh,
the days that was, the days that was!"

Patrick and Michael went out hunt
ing one rainy day-it was the only
day that they could get off. All went
well with them until, when they
were several miles from home, they
discovered that neither one had
brought a cartridge, and that not a
shot could be fired.
"Begorra," said Pat, cheerfully,
whats that to do wild the huntin;?
Is the want of cartridge amy ray
son to prevint man from huntin'?"
"None at all, F" said Michael.
So they continued to hunt. BY and
by rabbit started up close to Pat
and then came to stop, curiously
watching the hunters. Pat instantly
brought his gun to his shoulder.
"The gossoon that We air!" ex-
claimed Mike. "Wud We shoot him
widout a carthridge?"
The rabbit hoped away.
"Whisht!" said Pat, angrily, "there

"side-show of the great revolution

one touching feature. The ranks Of
the insurgents were full of young pa
triots, scarcely more than boys, and in
deed, in some cases, lads not out of
their teens. The most taking story of
all is told Of the Chevalier of Mondyon.
a pretty lad of IA, and truant from his
school. At the battle Of Chautannay.
the little fellow was placed next to a
tall lieutenant, who, under the pretext
Of wound, wished to withdraw. Il do

child; and as your departure would dis
