Long narrow eyes a. biac X aslps=~Af
And melting. like the stars in Jan;
Tresses OF night drawn smoothly back
From eyebrows like the crescent moon
She paused an instant with bowed head
Then. At a motion OF her wrist
veil Of gossamer outspread
And wrapt her In . silver mist
her tunic was OF Tifis green
Shot through with many starry speck.
The zone that clasped It might have besa
A collar for a cygnet's neck.
None OF the twenty charms she lacked
Demanded for perfection's grace;
Charm upon charm in her was packed
Like rose leaves In a costly vase
Full In the lanterns colored light
She seemed thing OF paradise

Or IL my vision told me lies
Those lanterns spread n cheating glare:
Such stains they threw from bough 70 vine.
Ash the slave boys here and there
Had split jar OF brilliant wine
And then the fountains drowsy fall.
The burning aloes' heavy scent,
The night, the place. the hour-they all
Were full OF subtle Establishment.

The first duty of all these legislators is to
''organize," and in at least five states they
seem to be getting themselves into or
ganic form with more than the usual
throes of political parturition. The most
important officer, Of course, is the speaker
of the house, for in every constitution
derived from that of Great Britain the
lower house, or popular branch" is the
money power, and the speaker appoints
the committees. OF course he is sup
posed to do it ''by advice" but by whose
advice is question not yet settled.
Though there have been fifty-two con-
crosses under the constitution there have
been but thirty-two speakers, which is
explained by the fact that such men as
Macon, Clay, Colfax and others held the
office at will when their party was IN

mild statement. The vice president is
not in it for comparison. In the last
twenty years the speaker has more than
once prevented legislation which large
majority of the house wanted.
In the state legislature the speaker Is
not quite so autocratic, but owing to an
unusual combination of circumstances
this year has witnessed several extraor-
binary struggles for the place. Many
entirely new men have come in; many
of the old ones are very picturesque fig
ures, and for the first time the legislative
gavel is welded by man born since
the siege of Sumter! 1t is truly his

And it goes without saying that they
will make at least 4, ZOO serious mistakes,
not to mention minor errors, and that
in the end the country will go on very
much as before, for the reason that the
great mass of mankind live on a moral
basis above the law and try to do right
without asking what the statute directs.

In the north the same may be said of
Maine, where Hon. Albert r. Savage, of

been chosen speaker; of Minnesota, Hon.

or three other states where the election
was so placid as to attract no attention.
1t is in the remote west, however-the
"wild and woolly west of romance
that legislative politics is picturesque,
not to say lurid The most remarkable
spectacle, in one view of it, was present

in caucus abandoned whatever claims
they might have had, and lust to expe

The ribbon blurs print, wears full
