When it was known all over the little village of Af ton that Vivia Arm strong was engaged to handsome, careless Arthur Stage, all the gossips male and female pronounced it a suitable match, nor was there a dis senting voice In the number. Had they not loved each other ever 6ince they wero in pinafores, and had not their mothers been school-mates, aud firm friends since their marriage, and set their hearts on this very thing for years, and had it not turned out just sb they wished, and consider ing the uncertainty of things in gen eral, and human hopes In particular was it not strange ? And now it is just oue year since tho wedding, and the dining-room looks cool and inviting, while a tempting little supper, with a vase of flowers on the table, and plates for two, stands awaiting its lord and mas ter. Everything is in perfect order, from the neatly dressed woman with a rose in her hair, and a knot of rose buds at her throat for Vivia, unlike some married ladies I know, still thinks- it worth while to make a good appearance, and dresses as tastily to receive her husband, as when expect ing her lover to the glittering china and well rubbed silver that adorns the table. The little cottage stands a quarter of a mile from the village, and in the loveliest situation you can imagine, and has a flower garden attached, with a great variety of choice flowers, while roses Arthur's favorite flow er predominate. It seems a minia ture paradise on this beautiful June day, while the birds are having a grand matinee in the old apple trees bacc of the house and mother Eve's disobedience seems to have left no impression here and the "trail of the serpent" is not discernible. Vivia is standing at the gate when her husband makes his appearance, and his face lightens up at the radiant visions, and the warm kiss he places on her lips, assures her she is the ono woman in the world, but a shadow falls over the happy face of Vivia, when careless Arthur replaces his boots with the handsomely embroidered slippers, fliugiug the former in a corner where hat and gloves are already reposing! Arthur is so happy himself, he never notices the shadow and Vivia is soon ltiiighiug merrily over his lively sal lies and witty remarks on his custo mers, for Arthur is druggist and P. M. of the little village. Tea over, Arthup saunters oil' into the sitting room and is deeply im mersed iu tho Daily Enquirer, by the time Vivia lias washed the dishes, picked up his boots, bat, and gloves, and placed them where he can And them iu the morniug. She can hardly find it in her heart to feel angry at Arthur, he is so good natured and thoughtless, she is sure that he does not mean to annoy her, but be is so dreadfully careless, seldom remem bering to put anything in its proper place, while Vivia has a perfect hor ror of having things lying around promiscuously. She has spoken to him, time and again ol his careless habits, and he promised to reform, but old habilHare hard to break, aud Vivia feels sure that talking will never effect a cure; so, being a resolute woman, Bhe de termines to try other means. The following evening ho looks iu vain lor his slippers in the accustomed place, and on inquiry receives the shut ling reply, that she supposes they arc where he left them last evening. He hasn't the least idea where that is; after seme little searching finds them under the sociable in the sitting room, where he kicked them off. He ri us them, looks on the table for yes terda V daily, thinking to finish that interesting article that he had only half read, but said daily is nowhere to he found. He stalks to the kitchen aud wants to know where Vivia hus put it, and wonderrt if everything is lost this evening. Vivia looks up sweetly and res ponds. "I have not had it, dear, aud have no idea where it is." He slams the door, I am sorry to say it being such an ngly way ol showing one's temper and after a thorough (?) search gives it up, and al! this time it is lying composedly under the sociable where he threw it with his slippers the previous even ing, aud Vfvi.-i smiles on picking it up when sweeping. And buch a lime as that man had for one week bunting things, was amusing. ' Being a man it was several days before he comprehended the sit uation, and when he did, was too proud to confess his shortcomings, and a?k his wife to help him re-" member. At the end of the week be could en dure it no longer, and meekly con fessed to his disorderly habits, and wondered how his little wife ever en dured them 60 long, and kept things in such perfect order, with such a careless fellow to misplace them, and promised a complete reformation, if she would help him. Vivia could keep nothing from her husband, so she made a confession too, telling him that she bad been just as misera ble all week as she could be, and had punished herself more than she bad him, and she woold rather pick op things forever than spend such an-1 other week. Arthur kissed her, and said that he deserved his punishment, but that he had no idea that leaving things lying around, made so much work and trouble. Vivia ofton smiled in after years at bis methodical ways, and prided her selfwoman like on bringing about the change. No more clouds appear ed in their domestic horizon, and Arthur took special pains to teach the children orderly habits, believing "as the twig is bent the tree is inclined." PeMsUaa Clalsaea for Kcbels. Jeff Davis, the unreconstructed and unreconciled rebel chief, has put in an appearance in the pending cam paign just in timo to review the in terest which was perceptibly growing in the field of Democratic labor. He addressed a letter in his usual style to a re-union of Confederate soldiers recently held at Forsythe, Ga., and he made an urgent complaint against the policy by which tho general Govern ment pensions Union soldiers but refuses to pension the surviving rebel soldiers, he 6ays : "Though the States are again re united and all contribute to fill the treasury of the general Government, the fnnds there collected are only appropriated to provide for the ex soldiers of the Northern States. The Southeru soldiers disabled in war and the widows and orphans of those who died can only hope for relief from a second tax, which may bo vol untarily paid by the people for whom they fought and who suflered with them. It is not the least of your meritorious manifestations that you meet this discrimination without com plaint and brace yourselves to bear the double burden with no ill feeling to the Government for this offensive favoritism." Mr. Davis's complaint in this di rection was anticipated in the recent Democratic National Convention, and a movement was made to meet the Southern demand for pensions. In that body, Geueral Butler introduced a resolution, to form a part of its platform, as follows : "liesolved, That internal revenue is a war tax, aud that so long as it con tinues the money so raised shall go toward the relief of the people from tho burden of war, as by paying pen sions and providing for disabled sol diers, whether Confederate or Union." Consideration of prudence appear ed to forbid this open pledge to pension rebel soldiers, in case a Dem ocratic President should be elected, aud therefore, without weakening the promise to extend the pension system to rebels, the declaration to that effect was more carefully worded aud made in geueral terms in the Democratic platform which was adopted, in these words : ''The system of direct taxatiou known an the 'internal revenue' is war tax, aud so long as the law con tinues the money derived therefrom should be sacredly devoted to the re lief of the people from the remaining burdens or the war, aud be made a fund to defray the expense of the care and comfort of worthy soldiers dis abled in line of duty in the wars of the republic, aud for the payment of such pensions as Congress may from time to time grant to such soldiers." This is the language of the Demo cratic platform, indorsed by Mr. Cleveland. It is as plainly a Demo cratic pledge to pension rebel sol diers if the Democrats can obtain the power to do so as that contained in the Butler resolution, and it fully meets in advance the demand made by Jeff Davis iu bis' recent letter. Chicago Evening Journal. Blsilae to the Voaiff. Cincinnati, Ohio, October 3. After tho procession aud speaking were over at 1 o'clock this morniug, the young men's Blaine club serena ded Mr. Blaiue. Iu response to this call he appeared at the window of his room aud said : "Young men : The giauls of mythology typified the strength of young men. Iu the en lightened era of the Christian dis pensation young men were called to the work because they were strong. To-day the strength of the Republi can party if iu the young men of the country, of whom it possesses a vast majority. Cheers. The young man U always good for two votes, his own and the one he brings. Cheers. No party in the history of this country was ever beaten that had the sympathy aud support of the young men of the nation and it has been the chief gratification of the tour which I have made from the great commercial metropolis to your beautiful city, that everywhere I have found the young men on our side. Cheers. You are in the morning of life. The day is before you and your strength is equal to it. Cheers. You will have the fashioning of the republic, of its strength, its prestigp, its glory, its destiny, long after the generation to which I belong shall have passed away.

Tae Fatare Seatk. Mr. Blaine's receptions in the places ho visited in West Virginia were un expectedly large and enthusiastic. A description of tho meeting at Park ersburg and what he said to the peo ple is hero given : Parkersbukg, W.Va., October G. At Grafton there was a very large and remarkably enthusiastic meeting. Tho little mountain town was packed lull of people from the surrounding couutry. Blaino was escorted to the stand, and when the demonstration, with which he was received, had sub sided, he said: "Citizens of West Virginia, as your distinguished chair man has intimated, I am not a stran ger to your state. I have known it personally for more than forty years, and I have known this section of it well. I was born on the banks of yon der river, a few miles below the point where it enters Pennsylvania, and you do not need to be told that there was always a unity of feeling among the inhabitants of the Monongahela valley, cheers, but I do not see be fore me the West Virginia which I knew in my boyhood. West Virginia of forty years ago was comparatively a wilderness ; West Virginia today is in the prosperous industrial centre of the Uuited States applause. West Virginia as an independent common wealth began her existence during the civil war, and at that date the most liberal estimate of her total property according to the enumera tion of the United States census did not exceed one hundred million dol lars. Iu 1870 tho census gave you au aggregate of a hundred and ninety millions, and iu 1SS0 it showed that you possessed capitalized wealth" to the amount of three hundred and fifty million dollars. From the close of the war to the year 18S0, West Virginia had therefore gained in wealth the enormous sum of two hundred aud forty millions. You have fared pretty well, therefore, under republican administration. Laughter and cheers. Probably some political opponent does me the honor to listen to me, and I will ask him, as a candid man, what agency was ft that nerved the arm of indus try to smite the mountains and create this wealth in West Virginia? It was protective tariff great cheering and'a financial system that gave you good money. Renewed cheering. Before the war you never had circu- laltug m your midst a bank bill that would pass current five hundred miles from home. "That'u so" and cheers. You do not today have a single piece of paper money circulat ing iu West Virginia that is not good all around the globe. Great cheer ing. Not a bill that will not pass certainly iu the money markets of Europe as in New York or Baltimore. So that the mau who works tor day's wages knows when Saturday night comes that he is to be paid in good money. Renewed cheering. Un der protective tariff your coal indus tries and your iron industries aud the wealth of your forests have been brought out aud it's for you, voters of West Virginia, to say whether you waut to continue or whether you want to try free trade "no wedou't". I make bold to say with all respect that there is uot a democratic states man on the stump iu West Virginia conspicuous euough to be known to the nation I speak only of those I know who advocates protective tariff. Not oue cries of "not one, uot one," I go further; I do not know a demo cratic statesman who will acknowl edge that tariff for protection is con stitutional, and therefore, if houest men, they are bound to oppose it. The Morrisou tarifT bill "we wou'l have it!" tho Morrisou tariff bill would have struck at the interests of West Virginia iu umuy vital respects, aud it is an amazing fact that the rep resentatives iu congress from West Virginia voted for that bill. There is a good old adage which I beg to recall to your minds, that God helps those who help themselves, aud if West Virginia is not willing to bus Jain a protective tariff by her vote and her influence, she must not ex pect it to be sustaiued for her by others. If she wants the benefit of protective tariff she must give to pro tective tariff the beuefit of her sup port. Cheers. I am glad that I am addressing a southern people, a com munity that were slaveholders, a community made up of those who were masters and those who were slaves, but I am addressing a slave state no longer. Great cheering. I am appealing to the new South re newed cheering, and I am appealing to West Virginia not to vote upon a tradition or a prejudice; uot to keep her eyes toithc rear, but to look to the front and to the future. "We'll do it;" "we'll do it," and wild cheer ing ; and if I could be heard I would make the same appeal to other south ern states to Old Virginia, to North Carolina, to Georgia, to Alabama, to Tennessee, and to Louisiana. They are all interested in a protective tariff, and the question is, which do they prefer, to gratify a prejudice, or to promote general prosperity? West Virginia cau lead the way, she can break this seemingly impregnable barrier of the solid south. Cheers and cries of "we'll do it," "we'll do it." Solid on what? Solid ou a prejudice, solid on a tradition, solid on doctrines that separate the differ ent portions of the Union. Whereas I invite yon to join in a Union, not merely in form, but a Union in fact, aud take your part in tho solution of the industrial and financial problems of the times. Great cheering. If West Virginia takes that course on the fourteenth of October, she will do much to settle controversies that now agitate us. She will! she will!. The repeal of protective tariff accord ing to the terms of the Morrison bill, would coat West Virginia a vast sum of money. Between 1S70 and 1830 you gained in this state ono hundred and sixty millions of dollars ; between 1880 and 1890 you will gain much more, with a tariff for protection, but I ask any business man if ho believes you can da it with free trade. No ! no ! no ! Hero I close my words of counsel, leaving the action to you. I leave you not as a community in fluenced by sectional feeling, but as a community broadly national. I leave you as a stato allied on the one side to Pennsylvania, and on tho other to Ohio cheers as much as you are to Virginia aud Kentucky. I leave you as a state that stands in the van of the new south, inviting the whole south to join iu great national movement which shall in fact and in feeling, as well as in form, make us a people with oue union, one constitution and one destiny." Great and long-continued cheering. BOVKBOrV FALSEHOODS. Specimens of tae Shallow Campaign Aauaaaitioa Uad by tae Democrats. Washington spocial to Chicago Tribune. Secretary McPherson is kept pretty busy in answering letters trom re publicans iu different parts of the couutry who desire to be furnished with material to combat wild asser tions made by democratic speakers. The Tennessee democrats seom to bo especially wrought up over the tre mendous surplus in the treasury, which they assert amounts to $-135,-000,000. Tho facts are that the 1st of October the cash iu the treasury amounted to that sum; $244,000,000 represents goid aud silver deposited for which silver certificates have been issued, and which is required by law to remain in tho treasury for the re demption of matured boml- aud in terest thereon which have been called, and which may at auy time be pre sented for paymcut; that $2,000,000 arc held for the nay iiient of intercut ou uncalled bonds, which is dun aud unpaid ; so the cash balance available is $141,000,000, from which sum ex penditures under appropriations are to be paid aud the reserve against the greenbacks maintained. Iu Iowa the democrat are circu lating a campaign document charging a discrepancy of $240,000,000' in gov ernment accounts. This is au old lie revamped. .It was fully exposed four years ago. When the matter was up iu the forty-fourth congress, first ses sion, Secretary Bristow, in a commu nication to congress, fully explained the matter. In that communication he paid : "In no iiintaucc has there been auy erasure or alteration iu the books or records of this department, and the changes made in the puhli-rfied re ports have been only to express with greater accuracy the precise condition of the public accouuts as shown by such books and records." As Mr. Bristow is uow a .supporter of Gov. Cleveland for the presideucy his authority ought to be good with the democrats. In Illinois and elsewhere demo cratic speakers are declaring that tho republicans have squandered over ?5G0,000,000 on the navy siuce tho war. The records of the department show that only $154,000,000 have been appropriated and expended on war vessels during that period. That amount includes all the expenditures for the bureaus of construction, steam engineering, ordnance and yanU and docks. In both the latter are inclu ded as for war vcseN several millions of dollars expended iu experimental tests of ordnance and tor the care and improvements of navy yards and docks and repair of buildiug-i, otc. While tho present navy m u.i what it should be, it is formidable as com pared with the navy turned over by Buchanan's administration at the out break of the rebellion. Citizensuii of the republic must be the panoply and safeguard of him who wears it. The American citizen, rich or poor, native or naturalized, white or colored, must everywhere walk secure in his personal and civil rights. The republic should never accept a lesser duty, it can never as sume a nobler one, than the protection of the humblest man who oxves it loy alty protection at home, and protec tion which shall follow him abroad, into whatever land he may go upon a lawful errand.

Inspector Ha worth has submitted the estimate for the next fiscal year to the commissioner of Iudiau affairs, which makes an allowance of $31,750 for the maintenance of the Indian school at Genoa, Nebraska. Fire from spontaneous combustion occurred the other day in the coal sheds of Owen & Oakly, at Lincoln, Neb. The fire companies soon got the unruly element under control, and the damage will not exceed $500. 5 1 li 4 i r
