those who know Of the relations that used

the other, all along have believed that
the Major would never think OF getting

Can this mean that the British influence
in the Republican party is so strong that
the coming administration dare not place
in the ministry a man who, although him
self an Englishman, would probably be the
only anti English man in the household?
The United States Treasury has long been
an efficient branch OF a great London
financial house, and the Secretaryship of
State is to be filled by one whose portrait
holds the place OF honor in the parlor of
the Bank Of England. DO all these things
mean that every drawer in that Cabinet
is TO be closed against the philanthropist
who has exposed the awful miseries OF
the English workingman under free trade,
and brilliantly contrasted them with the
obese and plutocratic condition of the
American operative under high tariff, and
free trade in pauper labor?

Profanity and Horses.

Among the rules OF a New York livery
stable where only the animals of wealthy
men are kept are the following: mo man
shall speak loud to any of the horses. or in
the stable where they are. Horses OF good
blood are nervous, and loud, excited con-

it, and it keeps them al! nervous and un-
easy. No man shall use profane language
In the hearing OF the horses.''

Times are not so hard for the life in

We find that there are few, if any, more
lapses of policies during such periods OF
stagnation than in those OF great pros

on them SO strongly that trouble may
come and that their policies may be good
investments. There are, however, not
quite so many new policies taken out in
years like the last three. Even careful

larger expense.-George E. GilIard, New

Song of Fair Rosa rnond.

Fair was the spring and fair,

Blossomed lily there,

When, by the willow tree,
Dropping so pensively,
You sang song to me;
All, well-a-dayl
You sang a song to me,
Softly and low;
Something half plaintiyely,
Half with the glow
As of happily
Quieted broken sigh
Twas but memory,
Little to know.

Fondly have meti

Long will the moments grow
