SENAROR PETER.

The veteran journalist, "Gath, "
of the Cincinnati Enquirer, has
either just discovered that there is
such a man as Senator PETER, or he
desired to join the great journalistic
ridicule procession. In late issue
of the Republic we find clipping
from the Enquirer, of " Gath ON
PETER" 1t varies slightly from
other correspondence in that Peffer's
beard is some two incnes longer
than formerly. 1t may have been
this discovery that led "Grath" to
join the procession, or may be his
master in Wall street prompted
him.
These newspaper correspondents
are obliged to earn their hire, even
if, like clowns, they repeat stale
jokes.
There are two things concerning
Senator PETER in which all are
agreed, and these are that he
wears long beard, and is sincere
in his advocacy of Populist prin
ciples. We do not know as to
beard, but, Judging from history,
sincerity is so rare an article III the
United States senate as to attract
general attention.
"Gath" says that PETER is honest,
and, as we all have heard, can hon
est man is the noblest work of
God"
A long beard has never been
known to seriously injure the repu-
tation of all honest man.
We suspect that all this newspa-
per correspondence is to make Pop
ulists ashamed of Senator PETER.
MI. L GucI 10 d IIlOih III thO oiuS
of plutocracy, and is so far above
reproach that his general appear
ance and manner of speaking are
topics for criticism.
Wall street does not kill off all
it's enemies by the same method,
and, since it is desirable to kill off
Mr.. PETER, the weapon is ridicule.
But, Populists, and Mr.. PETER
doubtless, too, can stand Wall
streets jibes 50 long as the animal
is kept well stirred by the Senator'si
resolutions for Investigation of the

Loves Device.

"The Detroit Free Press" saws that
business man of that city has very
pretty daughter, with whom one of
bis office staff is hopelessly in love.
AS the young man is not invited to
the perternal mansion, and the Young
woman has been notified to keen
away from the paternal office, the
course of their love does not flow yery
smoothly. They have hit upon the
following expedient: When papa
enters the office in the morning he
hangs his hat on a certain nail among
the row of other hats and proceeds to
business. Then the interested clerk.
while the head of the firm is reading
bis morning mail, takes that hat from
the nail, looks inside, slips his hand
under the lining and takes cut tiny
missive, which he at once CONVEYS to
his pocket, and the contents of which
delight and amuse him all day. At
night, when papa returns home, his
pretty daughter slips into the hall and
makes a raid on that hat, always find
ing there an answer to her missive of
the morning.

"Some girls are too cute for anv.

with his left arm off at the elbow.
"As to how ?" inquired the hote
clerk, who was connoisseur.

drummer, "but in one particular way
which recently became part of nv
experience.
sIt happened out in Missouri"
said the drummer. 81 stopped over

Invention Of the Fan.

The poets of the Celestial empire at
tribute the invention of the fan to one
OF their emperors-Wu Wang-who
reigned IL centuries before the Chris
tian era The first fans were made of
bamboo only, but in time feathers and
silk were used with good effect, and old
writers pompously describe the imperial
chariots decorated with these emblems
of power ON all state occasions 1t was
only at the beginning of our era, how
ever, that a Chinese fanmaker beat
plates of gold until they were as thin
as locust wings" and applied them ON
both surfaces of screen fans, which he
further decorated with paintings of
birds, beasts and fabulous monsters,
wherein he set glittering bits of mica
The folded fan, long unknown in China,
is said to have been imported from
Japan In the tenth century, when it be-

And then their great Joy, which was free
ly expressed,
When Peter appeared with the child OF
his breastl
A shout rent the air when the darling h,
laid
In the arms Of her mother, so pale ant
dismayed;
And as Alice looked up, and most CRATE
fully smiled,
He bowed down his head and he wept
like child.
Oh! those tears of brave manhood that
ramed DER his face
Showed the true Grace of Nature, and
the Nature of Grace;
Twas manifest token, a visible sign,
OF the indwelling life of the Spirit Di-
vine.
Consider such natures, and then, If YOU
can,
Preach of total depravity' innate in man
Talk of blaspheuy why, tits profanity
wild
To say that the father thus cursed his
own child.
Go learn of the stars and the dew-span-
gled sod
That all things rejoice in the goodness of
God;
That each thing created is good in its
place,
And Nature is but the expression of
Grace"
