To that portion of the grand old party who have been accustomed to a crow diet , the nomination of Biainc and Lo gan affords : i delightful repast of the favorite dish. Even the Massachusetts fellows who arc swearing by the great horned spoon that they cannot go Blainc , are beginning to anticipate the possibiK itics of Ben Butler as the Bourbon candidate , and ask themselves where they can go , if they cannot cat crow ? Yes , they will all eventually swallow Blainc with the Mulligan letters and Little Bock bonds as relishes , Itecausc they know that the man who .can over come such odds as Blaine did at Chicago , with simply a whoop with no barrel , can accomplish mighty things with a whoop that has a barrel accompaniment. The high-toned and top shelf-philoso phers like George William Curtis and his brother iiian-iiiillincrs Schurz , Roose- vclt and company , will either wheel into line or profit by the example of Trum- bull , Doolittlc , Palmer and the rest of them , who in the turbulent sea of Republican politics have never been permitted to get their noses above water. "Johnny , " said Mrs. Logan to her husband , when the latter hesitated about , taking second place on the tickett , : John ny , stick ; there are lots of Guiteaus around Washington yet. " ' And Johnny stuck. And it beats all to think of the number of available points that these two particular candidates have devel oped. For instance , Blaine has to go back but two generations to run against an Irish progenitoiywhile his own mother was a Boman Catholic , and he himself born and reared in that faith. That he has since espoused the doctrines of the Congrcgationalists , is no business of ours. Logan's father seems to have been an Irishman of the ' 'rale otild "shtock , " and his accomplished wife had the unmistakable Celtic pronomcn that comes of the Cunninghams. There fore , between the two of them , it is evident that they have got the deadwood upon the ever to be envied Irish vote , unless the twcr candidates of the Democ racy should happen to come cavorting on the track with better pedigrees. The June roses have come and wilted , and Congress is yet in session. Not until a few of the corpulent members melt down into their boots , will these fellows get ready to go home. The excuse for failing to accomplish anything in the way of business in a short session , might as well be duplicated for a long session , as little beside President-making is ever done ! The weeks that have been thrown away upon the tariff bill , the Fitz-John Porter case and other measures that had no earthly significance or public import ance , is raally and absolutely a criminal waste of the public nioney. All over the country the Federal courts have been compelled to suspend business for want of the necessary appropriations out of which to pay the fees of jurors , wit nesses , &c. , while the best part of the year for work in the improvement of the rivers and harbors of the country will have passed long before the new appro priations for that purpose can be made available. The House is now engaged in the dis cussion of the bill repealing the Pre cmption and Timber Culture laws two measures that have developed more fraud and downright rascality than any others ever adopted by Congress that were intended to benefit the people. Out of the Pre-emption law has grown an abuse that has turned over millions upon millions of acres of the public- domain to foreign and domestic land- grabbers and speculators , and the reports of the special agents who have been sent out to investigate , comprise a chapter of the grossest and most infa mous instances of frauds that history has yet furnished. The continuance of this law with the possibilities of crime that its loose provisions engen ders , means simply the speedy oblitera tion of our entire public land system. Of course the lobby is on hand to defeat the proposed repeal , and a few of the Members in the interest of the land-grabbers arc making every effort to postpone action upon it , but I am glad to say that the majority of the House , and I think a majority ol the Senate , are in just the right temper to cut out this gigantic land robbery root and branch. DOM PEDUO. HERBERT SPENCER'S lucid remark that ' 'an incidental force falling on an aggre gate containing like and unlike units , segregates the like units and separates the unlike1 never strikes a young manse so forcibly as when" tailor refuses to trust him for a new spring suit. i , . r * BOB BURDKTTE tells liow the old printer passed away in that sweetly pa thetic style of his that stirs the heart to its profoundcst depths. These veteran printers arc , a queer and interesting set. They are walking encyclopedias of recent history and current events. They com prehend everything from Gladstone's foreign policy to the intrigues of a Kan sas congressional district. They are true bohemiaiiSjand are acquainted with every city in the United States. They have seen every public man in the country , and flock to national conventions and other notable gatherings with the uner ring certainty of delegates. They want but little of this world's goods , and generally want it wet. In the summci a plank makes them a bed and the skj a roof. In winter they hibernate in some friendly town , only to start out recuper ated in the spring for a summer tour. But we digress. An ol d printer walked into Lincoln a few days ago. Luck ha'ti been against him. He was tattered oi raiment , feeble of step and unappcasct ! of appetite. Too proud to solicit aid , he went work on a frame placed at bib disposal by a fellow craftsman in The Journal news-room. He set silentlj about his task , drawing with trembling hand a pair of ancient spectacles from their hiding in his bosom. He toiled on quietly and patiently until past midnight , when he told the foreman he was plafcd out and would like to rest He sat on the foreman's chair till the night's work was done and the dupe. pasted. The boys crowded around him , but he said he did not feel able to talk. Would somebody cash his string ! It was done , and the poor old man tottered off to a tenement house Avhere he could get cheap lodging. He did not come around next day , and one of the boys who wanted a sub went to look him up. He found the old man lying on the flooi of a bare little attic room in which one could scarcely stand erect , utterly de void of furniture. He was sick and worn- out and could not work. The compositoi came back to his associates and told the story. The chapel relief committee be stirred themselves and a collection was taking up. Printers arc proverbial for their kindness to the distressed of then guild , and in an hour the poor , dccrcpicl old man was lying upon a comfortable bed his wardrobe replenished , a nurse procured , a bath administered , his rai ment changed and a snug sum of casl reposed in the new pantaloons that hiinj over the foot of- the bedstead. Chairs and table were added to his comforts and his room rent was paid a week in advance. The old man sof tly murmured his thanks , and as the boys retired the poor old fellow's "God bless you'1 rang sweetly in their cars. Xext morning one of them went to the room to see how the object of their wholesoulcd kindness was get ting along , and to minister to his further needs. Tie paused at the door , struck by a sense of silence and lonclinos , and a presentiment lodged in his heart that all was not well. He bent and listened a moment , but not even the sound oi breathing could be heard. Tie turned the latch and entered. In the silent watches of the night the old printer had passed away. So had the bed and the bedding and the furniture and the new clothes and the money and the nurse. And so , too , has the sweet spirit of charity. Topics. THE latest thing in clock ? comes from Russia. It is a little timepiece about eiaht inches hiuh. _ on a base five inches Vrf < / in diameter and covered with a glass globe. All the works arc plainly ex posed. The pcndelum is a solid brass wheel supported at the center , or hub. by a slender wire. It docs not swing , but revolves from left to right and right to left. Being a 4.00-day clock , the wind ing of it is a small item. It will not vary five minutes in running 400 days. Xo temperature affects it. IT may be known in history as the Backbone ticket. Both the candidates have stiff spinal columns. Chicago Tribune. BARBER SHOP , Go to A. P.
