M. Vcrdiivin's Candidacy. HOW THE HEPBESENTATIVE OF HIS WIFE WAS ELECTED TO THE ASSEMBLY. 1. Should you ever happen to visit the De partment of Trois-Etoiles and mention the uamo of JI. Verdavln, it is safe betting that your interlocutor, no matter who ho may be, will exclaim . "Verdavinl Well of all ambitious, in triguing men I ever met, Verdavm was the worst I" However, now that the vox poputi has pronounced upon my old friend, permit mo to have the honor of introducing to you the real Veruavin, that you may compare him with Verdavin tbo legendary. 11. Born of honest but not poor parents, Amedeo such was bis uamo had from bis childhood up one single care, to live quietly and cosily on the 30,000 francs a year bequeathed him by his pa and ma. lie had a cheery little town residence love of a country house; in spring he made a little trip tn Paris, in summer he fished, in autumn ho shot, in winter there was tbo flub. Nothing could have been pleasanter. Nevertheless Amaileo perceived that something still was lacking in li is life. Ho wanted some one to keep his accounts and overtee his expenditures. How was he to get rid of this business which threatened his idleness and placidity? lie made up his mind to take a wife. She whom he had chosen was a young girl of candid brow but full ot resolution, a fact which had guided Verdavin in his se lection. He had said to himself, "She will have will enough to seo after all my busi ness nfljire.an.l I shall be saved any trouble iu such matters." III. Yon moon that shone above, round as Ihe crown of bis hat,had not yet filled her horn six times after their marriage when one fine morning my lady summoned her bus band, who hastened to her apartments, bearing in his hand a package of books 16 which be was attncliiug new lengths of line and gut. "What is it my darling?" "Amedee, be so good as to listen to me. During the six months of our marriage life I have been studying your character and scrutinizing your aptitudes, for you know well that a man of your ago and position can not rust in inglorious idleness." "Why, bless me, Emmie, I thought my time was sufficiently occupied. For in stance, just at this very moment I was set ting oil' for the brook, where I expected to get you a mess of fish for dinner that" "Amedee, bo serious, I beg of you, if you can. I have been canvassing the whole subject thoroughly in my mind, and have found the oue pursuit" "But, my dear, when I eay that" "That one pursuit in which nowadays a man can rise to power and honor is poli tics." "Political Heaven be praised, I never have gone in for politics, and Heaven help ing me, madame, I never will." "In three weeks thore will be a bye elec tion In this department. I will, that is to uy, you will, come forward as a candidate." "But, dearest, yon have not thought" "Yes, dear, I have thought it oyer in its every osjiect. Indeed, I hays prepared your address to tbe electors." "Tho deuce you have I" "Don't swear, Amedee j swearing offends ths scrupulous voters. Do you think it is very agreeable for a woman to spond all her lifetime abut up in this poky old bole, absolutely unknown? The ptovlnees do uot make reputations, but they elect Depu ties. What would I notgivo to hearpeople say as I passed, 'You see that pretty little woman in brown? She's the wife of our representative.'" IV. "Emmie, you are only jesting I" "This, then, is the address you are to is sue to the electors," and she read as follows t Fellow-Citizens t At a time when tbe well-being nay, tbe very existence de mands the harmonious union of all patriot ic men, I feel it my duty to desire an op portunity of combating on tbo parliament ary field of battle for tbe regeneration of our beloved country. What I desire what you must all desire is Order In Liberty with Liberty In Order) There were nearly three columns of this I Next morning there began for the un happy Verdavin a life the horrors of which it would be difficult to retrace. He, the friend of repose, tbe enemy of emotion I For instance, one day madams said, ''Amed I hv drawn up lltt of the lead ing residents of each parish In the constit uency. We will call on the most promi nent ; you will write to tho others." "Seventeen hundred letters I never could." "You can easily hire secretaries. In half an hour we will set off on this Indispensable journey." For fifteen days the only man one seemed to meet on tho roads, the steamboats, tho cars, was tho unhappy Verdavin, the can didate in spito of himself. In the pelting rain, in the broiling sun, everywhere went he. Every morning his wife drew up the programme for his day's journey; every night he had to bring home to her good and sufficient evidence that be had been at each place he claimed to have visited. Grand outcome tho bronchitis, three mild sunstrokes, an incurable iheumatlsra and a confirmed gastric disease contracted through drinking prosperity to France with 340 electors daily, V. "Emmie," ho at last gasped, liko one about to faint, "I feel that my strength" "To-morrow," she said, relentlessly, "you will canvass the furty-seven parishes on this list." And on all sides nothing was heard but exclamations of "What an ambitious chap that Verdavin is I Who ever saw any one like him 1" "Amedee," she said, next day, "your ad dress has notbeen circulated widely enough. I have had 100,000 extra copies struck off and distributed." "But dear, printing comes ruinously ex pensively. This morning only I havo paid ono bill of sixteen thous " "You must also manage to have your name mentioned in connection with gener ous deeds.

"And do you count it for nothing, then, the glory of being a statesman? Besides, once in politics, you are sure of getting your money back an hundred-fold." "What a deuce of a fellow that Verdavin isl" said tho outside world in awe-struck amazement and admiration ; "he'll spend every frone he has before he'll let himself be beaten 1" VI. One pleasant morning it was just a week before the election Madame aroused at early dawn M. Verdavin, who was still sleeping soundly, not having Indeed re turned Irom an exhausting journey to tho back districts until 2 a. m. "Amedee," 6he cried, "rouse yourself; the honor of our name has been vilely thrust under foot and trodden in the dust, and you must avengo it." And sho handed the un happy man a newspaper in which he read tho following t It is about time to have done with the brazen impudence of the charlatan who is tranesine round our streets and highways. This Verdavin, a fellow of tho baser sort, seeks hut seeks in vain to conceal his demacocic instincts. Ho demands "Liber ty." Wo oil know what that word means with him ; behind it he prepares an am Imscadn lor nronertv. the I'amilv. rclicton This Verdavin, dealer in votes and haunter of low taverns, is nothing more nor less than a scalawag who has not even tbo cour age of his incendiary opinions. "But that is not all," said his wife, and handed him another journal in which he read : Let tbe mask be torn off I Our Intelli gent voters will not let themselves ba im posed upon by a Tartuffe of the gutters. M. Verdavin, a double-ender politician and a perfect uullitv. nretends to array himself on the side of tho cause of Order.

This odious being, whom wo will notfurther pollute our type uy naming, uas evmenuy oeen uiroi to roninlicatethe situation bv bis candidacy. Let the electors rise in their might and sweep from the field this vain idiot. Next morning Verdavin received a sword- thrust In the left arm from the Legitimist editor, and the day afterward one to match in the right arm from the Radical writer, "At last the day of election arrived. Ver davin had conducted his convass with an unsparing energy ; his complicated disord ers had given him a corpso-like appearance; ho had spent three-quarters of his fortune; he carried both of his arms in slings. But at night the prefect made the official declaration : EHOIIO Verdavin, 23,873. VII. It was a week later when he entered tho Chamber. His wife, radiant and rejoicing, was in one of tbe galleries. He had chosen a seat in the center Order In Liberty, as it were. He arrived In the middle of a debate, so as not to be unduly noticed.

"31 y politics are of the praotloal kind the Integrity of my country, the supremacy of the Federal government, and an honorable peace or node at all." 0n, iancot. "What do yott know of Hancock?' tho poll. tlclan said Unto the honest voter, and wisely wagged his head ; What does he know of State affairs, of quel tlons deep and grave, Whose life has all been spent In war, though gallant he and brave?" "What do I know of lleneock ?" the voter made reply, And arched his forehead oddly, a twinkle In his eye, What do I know of Hancock? Just what you'd like to know About a certain candidate who halls from Ohl-o. , I know he got his title by valiant battles won, That no State governor fixed his stars for ser. vice never done ; That from his first hot battle he did not swift recoil, To pose before the galleries and speculate In oil. "He did his fighting on the field where men were often hurt, And so has no temptation now to wave tho bloody shirt; He sees the men who stacked their arms, sa lute tho Stripes and Stars. And speeds tho household gods who hide the bloody tracks of Mars. "I know ho carries scars to-day that tell a tale to me Of purer reveronoo for the flag than any clvlo plea ; Tho blood he shed ot Gettysburg still holds his heart and head, And pleads for peace and unity by all the ta. cred dead. "I know his speech Is homoly, though plain to understand, And that there is some knowledge he has not Just at hand; I truly aoubt if catechized ho could sincerely say Ho understood De Goljer or Credit Moblllor, "He has old-fashioned notions tho fathers counted Just, And thinks official salaries Impose offlolal trust; He would not sell his Influenca for any prof fered feo, And smirch his country's credit for a base monopoly. "His politics aro plain enough, an honorable peace, Such peace as Lincoln promised when bo heard tbo cannon cease ; With State to State, and heart to heart, and charity o'er all, The banner of the Union set by every hearth and ball. "His politics are praotlcal, his politics are Just, And so, like Andrew Jackson, we take him now on trust; And following his leadership we'll march, both Blue and Q ray, To rich and ripe prosperity, to peace and love for aye." Ohio Republican. AN IOWA LAD. An exciting encounter occurred recently at the farm bouse cf Daniel Solomon, ten miles south of Hastings, Iowa. Mr. Solo mon was away at tho time, and his son had recently sold two thousand five hundred bushels of corn, for which be had been paid in cash. It is supposed that this fact became known outside of tho family. Mr. and Mrs. Solomon usually occupied a front room on tho first floor, but, during the absence of her husband, Mrs. Solomon had gone into an adjoining room to sleep with her two young children. They had been iu bed but a short time and had not yet gone to slept, when Mrs. B. and her sou Logan, who sleep up stairs, heard the front door open. Logan is a youth of but eighteen, but is a giant in strength, and has unlimited pluck. Ho arose and quietly slipped down thestairway, when bo heard tbe following conversation between tbe two men: "Does anybody sleep In the other room ?" asked the first. "No, replied the second. I think not." Ujion this Logan jumped from the stair way into tbe room in which the voices were heard. One of the robbers fired iu tbo di rection of the sound, the report of bis pistol being followed instantly by two shots from his accomplice. None of tbe shots took ef fect, however. In another moment the heroic boy was engaged In a hand to band struggle with both villians. With a super human effort he threw one of them across the room, and, getting the bead of tho other under his arm, he took bis pistol from him and shot him through the bead, killing him Instantly. He dropped the lifeless body of bis assailant to the floor, and throwing the pistol down, started for a neighbor's house and informed him of what be bad done. Tbey both returned to the scene, and light ing a candle, were horrified to find that tbe victim was a well-known lad of tbe neigh borhood. The other man, being so roughly handled by Logan, bad picked himself np and fled. Tbe dead man had always here tofore borne a good reputation. A MATTER OF SHOUT CASE, There is one man In Milwaukee that don't want any more prince and princess in his'n. When Leopld and Louise were there a policeman found a west side man talking to two bootblacks out In tbe alley by tbe Plankington house. He had something don up In a koapkin and was giving tb boys some instructions and telling them to keep it dark. The whole thing looked sus picious to tbe policeman and he nabbed the whole party. The roan looked as though he would sink, as the policeman opened the napkin and found a half of a strawberry short-cake on a plate. The cop asked the man to explain. "Well, says he, as he wiiied tbe perspiration from bis face,tbe old woman is lightning on strawberry short cakes, and to-night we had one lor supper which was simply elegant. As we were eating supper the old woman says to me, Jo siab,l'll Ull you what to do. You just take half of this short-cake down to tbe princess. I know she never tasted anything like lt,and ibe would opproclate It mor'n money. Well, like a consarned fool I took it down to the hotel, and went up stairs to the par lur and rapped. A condemned Englishman came to the door aud asked me what hi wanted. I told him about the shortcake, and he said the princess was pmtty well fixed for short cake, and he helped me down (he stairs. Now, I don't want to take tha short cake back home, and make my wife fuel bad, so I was just hiring these boys to cat it, and to Uke tbe plate back to m V nana - aav 4 k t tV tnftt - a "r Mr1 wmf ww 'i iuwai i v very thankful, and hoped my wife woul 1 i . r . i t , i - i .
