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.

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. See to it that it
is kept in your power aud that your
hands clean, pure aud strong shall
bear up the ark of the covenant. En
thusiastic and prolonged cheering.
To gather to the duties of a new day
with its responsibilities and I hope
with its rewards. Itenewed cheer

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.

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. James G. Blaine.
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

Fire from spontaneous combustion
occurred the other day in the coal

the unruly element under control,
and the damage will not exceed $500.
