The Boston's rIaid's Lament.

My lovers voice was bonny.
His heart was warm and true.
His hair was long and sunny.
His eyes were blue, deep blue.
A poem his mustache was,
His cheeks were round and fair,
His form was tall, his hands were small
Oh, Reginald was rare.
My lover loved me dearly,
And pleaded for my hand,
COf buildings he owned nearly
A block besides much land).
But I-although his pleadings
With joy my soul did thrill
Said sobbing: "Oh, it cannot be-
Oh heart of mine be still
Oh, Reginald, beloved!
My life, my star, my sun.
How couldyo say-why would you say =
What made you say-"I done?"

Republican Discord.

T. B. Reed, of Maine and Wash,
ington, is in a pretty bad fix. He
IS like a wet nurse who can't place
her charge on the bed or allow
some one else to rock it but it sets
up a tremendous howl, says the
Atlanta Constitution.
Mr., Reed, after getting every
thing in appie,pie order for the So
called "debate" On the tariff bill,
left the house in charge OF sub
stitute, the other day, and went off
to his room presumable to take a
nap. He had hardly gone to sleep
before the row began. Members
continued to carry on the debate, =
but in u way calculated to stir the
wrath of the substitute, who made
the splinters fly with his gavel.
The debate" however, was not on
the tariff question, but on silver, an
affair that Editor Godkin has buri-
ed SO often.
All this wearied the adinged Mr..
Dingley," as the mugwumps love
to call him, and be, therefore,
moved to limit further debate on
the amendment under considera-
ton. As there was no amendment
that had been considered, a Mr.,
johnson jumped up in the air, and
declared in a voice Of thunder that
SO and so was the case. Mr.. Sher-
man continued to pound, and Mr..
Johnson continued to jump up and
talk until finally Mr.. Reed had to
be sent for. AS soon as he appear
ed, and before he took the SPEAKERS
chair, quiet was restored. Mr. Sher-
man ceased to pound, Mr.. Johnson
dropped back in bis sent wiAhthe air
Of boy who il afraid he'll be kept
in and larruped aftef school, and
all the republican cohorts began to
cheer as soon as their boss made
his appearance.
But even q wholesome fear 81
Speaker Reed did not prevent the
republicans from exposing .the fact
that they are divided on The tariSl
measure, that they resent some 81
its provisions, and that they opld
vote against these if permitted. Il
/ do SO. One Of therepublicans Lover
ing, Massachusetts, who is a manu-
facturer, Indignantly declared thai
his class didn't want to be- smother
ed by protection.
We do not know that this row il
the happy family is to be regretted
but we think the republicans owe
it to the people to get together
push through their tariff bill, 81
THAT if it is to restore prosperity
Gthe people may begin to reap tbs

At City park last night there were
various attractions that drew immense
crowds. The street car lines were un-
able to carry all the people who want
ed to go out from the center Of the city.
The fireworks display, under the
management of the park commission
ers, was a creditable pyrotechnic dis
play, which lasted an hour.
The lake from which the fireworks
were displayed was the arena, and
every seat and every available space
around the immediate shores Of the
vast amphitheater were crowded with
spectators. The pavilion was lighted
up with n perfect flood of incandes-
cents arranged in pretty festoons In
many cOlors and made very brilliant
show.
Several bands were present, and the
Smelter City military band. under the
management of f. $. Warner and d.
rected by Professor Carl Mollerup, gave
an interesting concert during the pyro-
technic display.
According to estimates furnished by
railway officials tonight the number
Of visitors was greatly in excess of
those of last year. The number is put
at 1856 up to o'clock last evening.
and this number was swelled by sew
eral thousand tonight and will be still
further increased tomorrow, as all the
roads coming into Denver expect the
train service to continue active.
Among the notables in town are Gov
ernor Otero of New Mexico and Gov
ernor Richards of Wyoming, each of
whom is accompanied by his wife
