 Chris Magee is one. We in Alabama know something of Chris. Several years ago he came down here and shed the light of his countenance and his roll in the effort to turn Alabama from the straight and narrow path. Democrats smiled while the Republican heelers pulled the leg of the genial Chris. All the same, on his native heath, he is political power. and his desertion of Quay is very slgnifi- cant.
 Governor Hastings and Dave Martin, boss of Philadelphia, have also turned their knives upon their erstwhile com rade.
 The odds seem to be against Quay but he is putting up the stiffest kind of bluff. and claiming everything in way to warm the heart of silver-tongued Bry- an. At the beginning of the campaign he was staggered at the wholesale de- sertion of henchmen, but pulled himself together, and says he will neither ask nor give quarter He is fighting as man with a halter about his neck
 The most remarkable feature or the situation is that Pennsylvania Democrats are siding with Quay. The Phlladelphla Record and Pittsburg Post, both staunch administration sheets, are aiding nm as much as they can. Perhaps the req son is they believe his success Will con tinue the internecine war and indirectly aid the Democratic party.
 All the world loves a fighter as 1t does a lover, and there is no gainsaying that Matthew Stanley Quay is game to the core. Interest will increase as the aate of the convention approaches

 An Indian trail leads along the summit of Red Mountain. The Indians followed this trail to avoid ambush, and to keep an eye on the camp fires of their enemy in the valley on each side. When the beauty and chivalry of Birmingham walk up from the dummy to the pavilion on Red Mountain they follow this h. dian trail. Slender feet. clad in white shoes, touch the same soil pressed by the D1occassin of the red man. It is meet ing of the old and the new-the primevai type of man and the flower of civiliza- tion. Yet such contrast is not new in this country. Many of our forefathers were courtly gentlemen, and brought from the old world their lace, ruffs and silver shoe buckles. As they walked the unbroken forests of this country it was a meeting of the civilized and the sav- age. It was as if being from another world had dropped down into this newly discovered continent These bold gen tlemen left government that had been evolved from centuries of experience to come to a wilderness where there was m nm ant learning of the old world for a land where there was no learning except that which might be culled from the open book of nature. They gave up the sound of church bells for the hush of the deep for ests They left behind paved streets to walk through the tangled wild wood.

The Love Knot.

Tying her bonnet under her chin,
She tied her ravenringlets in,
But not alone in her silken snare
Did she catch her lovely floating hair;
For, tying her bonnet under her chin,
She tied young mans heart within.
They were strolling together up the hill,
When the winds came blowing merry and chill
And it blew the curls a frolicsome race #
All over the happy, peach-colored face.
Till seolding and laughing, she tied them in
Under her beautiful dimpled chin. . - e.
o western wind, do you think it was fair
To play such trilks with her floating hair!
To gladly, gleefully do your best
To blow her against the young mans breast
Where he had gladly folded her in, "
And kissed her mouth and dimpled chin?
o Ellery vane, you little thought
An hour ago, when you besought
This country lass to walk with you,
After the sun had dried the dew,
What terrible danger you'd be in
Al she tied her bonnet under her chin.
