TAMmANY.
 One of the moet interesting matters con- nected with politics Is the question, how is Tsmmany going to stand the racket this falli This great organization has been most vigorously attacked lately. Dr. Parkhurst has been after 1t. The New York World and the New York Evening Post have been sailing into 1t. The Good Government clubs have been pounding 1t. Some of It's evil deeds have been made plain, and some of Its evil leaders have been pretty thoroughly exposed. The un- explainable riches of some of the Tam many bosses have received attention, and the people of New York are asking them selves and each other If Tweed and his gang were any worse than the gang which now runs their city.
 A very significant sign of the times Is 6 declaration by Boss Croker that he wants to have 1t understood that he Is not going to attend to the details of the coming cam paign, and that the committees must do their share of the work. He says be must have Q rest and he cannot have 1t in Four teenth street. This declaration has made great stir both in and out of the organi- zation of which Croker Is the head. By some 1t is taken to mean that he hasn't faith in the success of Tam. many this fall, that he isn't going to take all the responsibility for the defeat and that he is going to retire after the election and attend to his fast horses and other business. He can afford to. He has made @ fortune and has had all the power a man is entitled to In such country as this.
 It looks ss If Tammsny were in real dan ger this time, but 1t will be pulled through If organization, work and fraud can pull through. It has great brains, great skill and great unsorupulousness. It can only be defeated by a general uprising of the people. There are some cheering signs that such an uprising is at hand.

old English Plant Names.

Itron the London Saturday Review
 Inasmuch ss we lately took occasion to 6nd fault with the scientific nomenclature of plants, we propose now to review son 6 of the old English names, of which some are no more than homely, while others are full of tender or plaintive meaning. Some flowers there be with titles of both quail ties, of which Is that one known to every body now as forgst-me-not but In all old herbals 1t Is called scorpion grsss, becsu, c its hower-spike was supposed to resemble 6 scorpion's tail, and therefore, according to the doctrine of signatures, 1t was pre- scribed as a remedy against the bile of & scorpion. The pretent popular name. in- deed, has not belonged to this pretty blue flower for much more than half century. Somewhere In the twenties & ballad wEs written connecting It with the story ot a drowned lover, and thereafter 1t wss known no more as scorpion-grsss; but up to that time forget me-not was the name of one of the bugles. bscauss of the dies areeable taste it leaves In the mouth when bitten.
 No flower bSs more wealth of alias tl-z the pansy. Oberon explains its color: Yet mark'd where the dart ot Cupid fell; It fcll upon little western flower.
 Before milk white. now purple with loves And naaidens call it Lore-in. likeness.
 This is not to be uuderstod ss love in in- dolence; love-in likeness, or love-in. idle, which was the commoner name. means love in vain, as in the "Psrdoner's Tale"
 The other heste of hym is this.
 Take not fn ydel my name nor anys.
 Spenser calls 1t the pswnce, and Dr. Prior enumerates the following names for it: Herb trinity, three-fsces under-a- hood, fancy, fanny, klss-me-ere-I- rise, jump up aud-kiss me, pink-of-my- John, and others such as fond lovers use. With all these to choose from, it tesms unfair that this spoiled child should have stolen from the wallfioTer the name that 1t had earned from Its cordial properties-hesrts- ease-a name, too, that had nothing In 1t of amstory allusion, in which the profl- gate psnsy is SO pesply involved.
 There are plenty of flowers named In from the earliest times been incorrigtble in sppropriating blossoms to their own pur pose, but some of these names are the re- suit of blunders. Itis hardly likely thst any swain would choose the coarse annual called love lies bleeding to express his pain; there has been some confusion here between the classical smaranthus and amor. So also the Solsnum lycopersicum, named Pomi del MorI by the Italians, was glossed Pommes d'smour by the French, which our people called loSe-spples, till they borrowed the American name "toms- to-" The struggling gooseg grass, too, of which the myriad little burrs cling to mems coats, derives Its popular name, loveman, from that habit, and not from amorous association.
 School boards and other engines of mealy- ly-mou,hedness have laid ban upon soms of our old plant names, and 1t must be confessed that the true meaning of wake robin and cuckoo pint is best ex- changed for the general suggestion of yer

TEXT: [ haze grave1a thee upon the

The text is a part of Gods answer
to Israels complaint, "Jehovah hath

"Can a woman forget her sucking
child?" "Yea, they may for
get, yet will 1 not forget thee Be
hold, Il have craven thee upon the
palms of my hands" The custom
prevails to some extent everywhere,
of engraving or tatooing upon the
skin a dear name one wishes to keep
in memory. This is very common in
the East, where it is done principally
for religious purposes. A man en-
graves on his arm or hand the name
of God or some verse of scripture, as
a memorial of his conservation to a
holv life. 1t is this custom God at
tributes to himself. He first meas
ures his love by the love of mother
and declares his to be the greater

[BY SHORN POET.
All, here is a lovely painting
How blending the cOlOrs flow;
Where the tints of home seem 1alntlng
Into years of the long ago!
See, here is farmhouse standing
O'erlOOking a meadow vide,
ClOse-lipped to the fields expanding
To the woods where their bushes nae!
And here is an orchard sweeping
A rOck-rlbbed Hill along;
Till estOpped by brOOklet leaplng.
Where towering the powders throhg!
Ger a we'll and an arbor bending,
Spreads an elms huge canopy;
With its tardy leaves descending
Like a benedicite.
Pure is the air surrounding
This dwelling of rustic mien;
With barns and sheds abOuDdlng.
Where the farm-yard herds are seen.
And. now through window glowing
Where fireplace sheds its ray;
A New England morn Is moving
The dawn of q Christmas Gay!
On high in his orbit veerlng,
The sun filings a golden spray,
Where children are now appearing,
On Joyous missions they;
See. grandpa awaits their greetlng!-
How blending the cOlOrs flow,
Where the tints Of a home are meetlng
With years of the long ago!
Pm proud of this "Chrlstmas Greetlhg
WhOe'er may the donor be:
Pm proud of the warm thought beatlng.
That somebody thinks of me.
How sweet to the heart rep!nlng
In a worlds cold charity.
Is the thought like a beacon shining.
That somebody thinks OF me!

TerroriZed by Strikers.

CRIPPLE CREEK, Colo, May 3O.-The
deputies and strikers are still keeping at
safe distances from each other. Both sides
are cXcrting every effort to increase their
numbers, the strikers using in some in
stances loaded winchcsterS rs arguments.
The strikers become holder and more inso-
lent every day. All the smaller towns are
completely subjected, and some demon
stration has been made ut Cripple Creek.
The strikers vastly OutnumbCr the male
population and are heavily armed. They
owned by individuals Conscious alike of
their own strength and of the weakness of
the inhabitants, they conduct themselves
in an Ovcrbcaring manner and exact con-
duct on the part of the inhabitants that is
but little short of the most abicct sCrvili-
ty. y party entered Mound City and at
the point of winChcStcrS forced two union
in carrying arms and using them in viola
ton of law, together with Il nOnunion
man. to go to Bull Hill. The general I'M
preston here is that this question can be
settled only by terrible conflict, and the
people anxiously await the end, whatever
1t may be.
The strikers now expcctto be attacked
from three different points and have mass
ed their forces at Bull Hill Two princi-
pal approaches have been undermined and
large quantities of dynamite placed so that
by means of electricity the mines can be
exploded from the fort.
