    THE IIUSH VOTE.
The Irish World is the leading ex
ponent and orpin of Irish political
opinions. It bas the largest circu
lation of any journal of its character
in America, In its issue of July 12th
it Fays :
We pres-ume the Democrats party
wants to win at tne coming election.
On that supposition the Presidential
fight is narrowed down to a contest
between General Butler and Mr.
Jilaine. If the Democracy wants to
stand up and be knocked down for
the seventh time in a quarter of cen
tury, that, of course, puts another
face on matters. Under these cir
cumstances, one candidate will be as
good as another. Whether it is
Cleveland, or Bayard, or Field, it
will make no difference, except as to
. the size of the majority the llrpubli-
can party will roll tip next Novem
lr. The candidacy of Mr. Cleve
land, for instance, would make the
election of Mr. Blaine extremely
easy. General Butler' nomination
would mean that with Lim in the
White House, the country for the
next four years would have a thor
oughly American policy. Is there
any other one on the listol the Dem
ocratic candidates whose success at
Chicago would give this assurance?
Ijtt not the Democratic managers
deceive themselves with the thought
that the voters we speak of will sup
Iort the Democratic party no matter
who receives the nomination. These
voters will be willing to vote for, aud
work for, General Butler. But with
him out of the race;thev will vote
for, and work for, Mr. Blaine, for
the reason that the latter will repre-
sent a policy that the Uemocratic
party, throuirh its failure to nomi
nate (.ientral Butler, will have repu
diated. The Republican
party can look forward to next No
vember with equal equanimity if the
Chicago convention adopt6 the suici
cidal policy of rejecting the only
candidate who can lead the Democ
racy out of the slough of desponden

ed. The New York Freeman's Journal
is the leading and most influential
organ ef the Roman Catholic Church
published in America. In its issue
of July 19th, and in its editorial col
umns, in speaking of the nomination
of Grover Cleveland, it says :
In nil the line of principal cities
of the State of New York from
Buffalo to Brooklyn there is a sul
len andsour lepudialion of this nom
ination on the part of those creat
bodies of men who rote. Governor
Cleveland has been nominated by
the votes of States that . either weie
sure for any Democratic candidate,
or of States that are sure to vote for
J. G. Blaine. His nomination makes
Ohio certainly a Republican State,
Indiana most probably, and New
Y'ork exceedingly doubtful. Were
the election to be held on the first
Tuesday in August, Blaine would
carry New York with a hurrah. Mr.
Grovei Cleveland, two years ago,
was elected Governor. We think he
could have been elected by a Demo
cratic majority of some twenty or
thirty thousand. The Republican
"kickers" swelled his majority to a
ridiculous figure. But these Repub
lican "kickers" were Blaine men.
Mr. Cleveland's friends count on the
anti-Blaine men as being as vicious
"kickers" as the Blaine men were.
Therein lies their mistake !
Ancestry does not amount to much,
except the living race prove worthy
of it. James G. Blaine's grandfather,
of that fierce old 6tock of North of
Ireland "Covenanters," was a eol
dier in the war of our independence
of course, "on the side of the re
bellion." Mr. Cleveland, also, has
an ancestral record. As we find it,
his ancestors were Puritan preachers
from generation to generation. His
record says, moreover, that he him
self once labored as a teacher of the
blind. The plat
form of the Democratic Convention
at Chicago is an oracle that talks
with stammering lips and a double
tongue, esjiecially on the one active
issue, the tariff. It is ai'horizontal"'
platform, with a sloping jump-off on
one Bide to appease protectionists.
In other works plain English it
is damnable nonsense !
We are puzzled. Straightforward
talk we know. The talk we hear
around us we do not know- As at
present advised, we do not see how
Mr. Cleveland, with his record, can !
hone to carry the vote of the State
of New York. Except the presenta
tion of things change, we will liitve
to deplore the nomination of Mr.
Cleveland.
The Cailiolic Reriew,of New York,
charges that Governor Cleveland
worked against a bill in the New
York Legislature so that it might
not come before him for approval
denying to priests of the Roman
Church the privilege of administer
ing the last consolations of religion
to dying Catholics, and refusing to
permit spiritual attendance to Cath
olics from clergymen of their own
faith.
The Xorlhweslcrn Chronicle, pub
lished at St. Paul's, is in the diocese
of Bishop Ireland, and is the accred
ited church organ of that locality. It
6ays:
Grover Cleveland is before the
country as the Democratic candi
date for the Presidency. Expedien
cy dictated the nomination. While
Governor he distinguished himself
chiefly by favoring corporations and
monopolies, and by making strenu
ous efforts to prevent the passage in
the Legislature of a Liberty of Con
science bill, which would have given
Catholic inmates of the State insti
tutions the right to receive spiritual
ministrations from their own clergy
men. If elected President he will go
to Washington for the first time in
an official character, totally inexpe
rienced in the practice of Federal
affairs, and holding out to the Na
tion no guarantee that statesman
ship or scholarly attainments will
during his incumbency give strength
or grace to the Presidential office.
The Rocky Mountain Cell, publish
ed in Denver. Bays, in its issue of,
July 19th:
An exchange says that the Demo
cratic party seems to think that it
has a mortgage upon Irish-American
voters. Time was, we admit, when
they invariably voted the Dmo
cratic ticket but the time has happi
ly passed when any political party
can say that it owns the Irish vote.
The Irish Xation, of New York, of
the date of July l2th, speaks of the
speech of Judge Cochrane, and says:
The speech especially made a deep
impression on the convention, sug
gesting, as it did to many, the im
policy of entrusting the Democratic
colors to a man whose record is
stained by obstinate antagonism to
every principle prized by Demo
crats, and whose inability to carry
his own State has been proved to

Mr. D. C. Fecly.aprominuitlrish
Catholic lawyer of Ilocrn-r-ter, says :
I can think of no man who could
be named who is so obnoxious to
the Irish as Governor Clevc land, lie
could not carry New York Slate, and
would make a sorry figure it' nomi
nated for the Presidency by the
Democrats. His unpopularity is
due to his treatment of Editor Pur-
cell, whom we regard as a represent-j
ative Irishman : to his treatment of
John Devos, editor of the Irish X-
lion, and to his veto of the five-cent
fare bill, which showed him to he a
mere creature o! monopolies.
One final extract from a later i
sue of the Irish World, edited by
John Devoe, and we must conclude
lor want of space :
The Democratic National Conven-1
tion, lured by the bait of the Inde
pendent Republican support, has
thought proper to break away from

at the polls, or the men who have
been the mainstay of the Democrat
ic party for half a century niut sub

dation, and insult at the hands of an
intolerable and undemocratic ma
chine. On the one side, we have the
Republican party, freed from the

American statesman, and a platform
that comes more nearly in accord

great majority o! tiie people ti

that once was Democratic, with a
candidate that is to all intents and
purposes a Republican, in the sense
most obnoxious to the Democrats, a
platform that evades an honest pro
nouncement on the question of the
most vital interest to the toiling
masses, and an unholy alliance with

An Incident ofSuinter.
For four hours we had been
pounding away at Stevens' battery,
and making no impression upon it.
This wr.s very annoying to the men,
and doubtless equally so to the offi
cers. The r.on-commissioned offi
cers belteve they could demolish the
battery with the 10-inch gun. The
10-im"h gun referred to was mount
ed t n barbette, on third tier, and the
Major had ordered that no guns on
that tier should be manned. Orders
were sacred in the opinion of Tom
Keman. but the demolition of Ste-
was an old
ergeant, a veteran of the
.Mexican war. In his
Dilemma l.e
consulted with the Ordnance Ser
geant, another Mexican war veteran,
and they agieed that if it could be
done 011 the sly, under the circum
stances, the Major's order might be
disregarded. They would not how
ever, take anybody with them. The
blame, if an attached to the act,
should rest entirely on their shoul
ders. Consequently they watched
their chance, and when the Major
was out of the way, slipped upstairs
to the hardtc battery. The gun
was already loaded and aimed at
the very battery that they desired to
strike. Fur weeks before the bom
bardment bean all the guns were
kept loaded. "They had nothing to
! do, therefore, but slip in a friction
primer in the vent and pull ' the
lanyard. This was the work of a
moment. The gun aSs fired and

who were in tne secret, watcneu me
nigL.t ot tne snot with almost pain
ful interest. It missed missed,
seemingly, by a hair's breadth just
grazing the top of the battery. Great
was the disappointment. So much
risked, so little won. But the two
Sergeants would not give it up so.
They might as well be hanged for a
sheep as a lamb. ThfV were deter
mined to have another shot. The
gun was reloaded, which was quite
a feat for t wo n.cn, as the shot weigh-
jed lli pounds, but wr.en the.v tried
to run the gun "in battery," they
j failed. It required six men to throw
j the carriage in gear and the two
I Sergeants could not accomplish it
Although the deschargs of the 10-
. 'i i iii .
finch gun had escaped the observa
tion of our own oiheers, it had been
noticed by the rebels. They knew
all about the position and power of
this particular gun, and had no
doubt wondered at its silence. Now
that it had opened, it was of the ut
most importance that it be silenced
at once ; so every rebel gun thtt
could be brought to bear was turned
on it, and a shower of shot and shell
came hissing and hurling about the

Tom, ' let us fire her as she is." It
was the only thing they could do.
So the elevating screw was given
half a turn, the primer was inserted
and the Ordnance Sergeant ran down
to see if coasts were clear. Mean
time, Tom, who was left holding the
lanyarn. found himself in a tight
place. Shot and shell were coming
thicker than ever. The rebel gun
ners were just getting the range.
Tom was lying down, because, as he
said, there was no room for him to
stand up, What could be keeping
his friend so long? Traverse circles
were being torn up by the enemy's
shots and great blocks ot granite
were slashed about the terreplein.

X TREASURE.
"Here is the first of May," an
nounced Mrs. Arden, one lovely
morning at breakfast "the yery
first of May, and our house cleaning
not yet begun."
And she glanced around her
breakfast table, quite as though an
awful tragedy had taken place, and
the two pretty girls who sat there,
evidently engrossed with the morn
ing meal, were in some dark and
dreadful manner, responsible for it
"And so, I say," went on the
madam, with growing resolution,
and seeing that she was going to re
ceive no comment or reply from the
others, "I say, that the sooner it is
begun, the sooner it will be done."
"Rose," quoth bright eyed Barbara
Arden, BOtto voce, "did you ever
suspect the matter of dabbling in
logic lefore? I confess 1 begin to
entertain a foul suspicion."
But fair, stately Rose did not
deign a reply, and'Mrs. Arden went
on resolutely, warming with her sub
ject as she continued :
"After breakfast, Rose will go to
the postoflice, and you, Barbara,
will get the 6tepladders and dust the
shelves in the library the very top
most ones have not seen a duster in
so long I don't like to think of it."
Barbara groaned aloud iu tragic
despair.
"Can such things be ard overcome
U3 like a summer cloud, without our
special wonder?" she quoted, lugu
briously. "Mamma, you drive me
to the verge of distraction. But first
inform us, have you decided to take
the gentleman to board this sum
mer who applied.for the room ? And
if so, who is he, and what is he like ?
Since Rose and I are to contribute so
extensively to the order and well
being of the Arden household, we
must know, something of the new
member of the family."
"He is good enough looking,"
commented Mrs. Arden, carelessly ;
"one of those blonde, sleepy-looking
men, with languid grace ; lie is "
"A perfect dude," interpolated
Barbara, saucily. "I'll venture to
predict that he'll be taken down a
peg or two before he is here long.
Aud what is his name, mamma?
U'e are dying to Jaear the particu
lars." "Jlarbara, you are getting too old
to exhibit such frivolity and foolish
ness !" reprimanded Mrs. Arden,
sharply.
Barbara shrugged her shoulder
with an expressive grimace.
"Yts. I am getting along in years,"
she returned, thoughtfully. "I shall
be a half a century old in just thirty
vears. if I live so lonsr. But do re-
'lieve our curiosity, mamma, will you

uoi :
Mrs. Arden smiled in spite of the
fact that she was always lecturing
Barbara, and lived in constant ter
ror of the girl committing some rash
or unheard ot action. 1 think she
loved Barbara better than any one
else in the world. We are so apt to
care most for whatever uives us the
greatest anxiety and trouble. Re
member the prodigal son.
"His name is Walter Norton," she
returned, "and he is a professor in
Madison Collene a verv voune pro
fessor, it is true, not overthirty ; but
he has been very highly recommend
ed to me, and is considered the most
competent instructor (geology is his
forte, I believe) that was ever em
ployed at Madison. A very superior
young man, I should judge, from my
limited interview with him yester
day." "Oh, yes," supplemented Barbara,
her lip curlins, 'T know all about
that sort of person. Parts his hair
(what there is of it) in the middle;
wears an eyeglass always, speaks
with an affected drawl, and is yen'
sure to treat you to the tertiary for

you know, its clay beds, limestones,
etc., and constantly refers to Hugh
Miller. "Mamma, I must read '.the
'Old Red Sandstone' over again, and
brush up my fragmentary knowl
edge of the "different strata of the
earth's formation, but I warn you
now, seriously, I had as soon have a

as this young exponent of geology."

"I will do it," cried Barbara, aris
ing from the table at last, "when I
finish the library shelves. Jane will
carry the ladder up stairs for me,
and then Bhe can assist you here, on
the lower floor. Yes, mamma, I
know that I can do it creditably,
and Jane is so bujy, and well,
there is no one else, you know."
For every bod' understood intui
tively that hard work never by any
possibility devolved upon pretty
Rose. The home of the Ardens was
in a sma,il country town, and as la
bor was difficult to procure, Mrs. Ar
den, notwithstanding the help of
Jane, was often compelled to call up
on willing Barbara. The girl was
strong and active, fond of work, and
better than all, she was willing to do
it So her mother resigned much of
the household care to Barbara's com
petent management, and felt quite
secure in the experiment One thing
certain, whoever won Barbara Arden
for a wife, would gain a thorough
housekeeper as well 33 a cultured
woman. True, Rose could perform
the most bewildering fantasias upon
the piano, and execute marvelous
wonders in the embroidery line, but
Barbara knew how to make home
home-like, and upon this knowledge
hangs the whole secret of domestic
happiness.
Attired in a gray wrapper, consid
erably the worse for wear, her curly
brown tresses fastened away from
her face in a tight little knob at the
back of her well shaped head, about
which, with commendable care, and
a few stray recollections of dust and
whitewash, she had wrapped a linen
towel, Barbara mounted the step
ladder away upstairs in the east
room, and went vigorously to work.
What a little household fairy she
was. to be sure. For before her
small hand all dust and debris gave
way with wonderful electricity and
dispatch. Time flew by. Rose had
returned from the postoflice, and
donning a pretty blue and white
linen suit, tied her sun-hat with it3
coquettish wreath of daisies around
the crown, down over her sunny
tresses, and quite composedly left
the house going lor a call upon her
best friend, who lived faraway. Bar
bara saw her from her elevated
perch, and her eyes flashed a little.
"How can Rose go away in that
cool fashion, and leave all this hard
work to mamma and me?" she said,
a little impatiently ; "I don't think
it is right, but never mind, let me
attend to my own duties and Minna
fa6h mosel" about other people's
faults 1 Mercy knows I have enough
to attend to, if I try to manage my
own !"
"WIXX1XO
In the meantime, Barbara had
worked away so industriously that
the four large windows which ren-
dered the east room a perfect haven
! of light, were shining like diamonds,
j though no brighter than the eyes of
i the girl who had brought forth order
out of a great deal of chaos that day.
And there-was a little satisfied feel
ins; about Barbara's heart which she
would not have exchanged for dia
monds. For she was conscious of
having been of great service to her
tired little mother, and that remem
brance brought a rich glow to her
round cheeks, and made her heart
beat with satisfaction. Mrs. Arden
was a widow, and this pretty coun
try homo was her only possession ;
therefore, a summer boarder had al
ways been found advantageous, and,
of course, due preparation for the
expected advent was. necessary.
"There !" commented Barbara, giv
ing the last window pane a final pol
ish and inspecting it critically, with
her small head to one fide like a
bird's, "that is about as well as I
can do it, and" with a little sigh
of satisfaction "I flatter myself it
looks quite well. What is it, Jane?"
she added, hastily, as the small
maid appeared at the open door,
thrusting her tow head inside, with
an air of mystery.
"If you please. Miss Barbara,"
quoth Jane, "There's somebody
clown stairs as wants to see you."
Barbara gave vent to a jrroan of
dismay.
"To see me !" she ejaculated ; "oh,
the saints forbid! Who is it, Jane?"
Jane giggled.
"If you please, Miss Barbara, it's
a book agent, I believe."
Barbara's f ice took on a relieved
expression.
"Tell mamma," she returned sen
tentious!', dipping her brush into a
pail of soapsuds, preparatory to a
raid upon the paint
"If vou please, Miss Barbara, vour
(ma's gone and laid down; her bead
lis bad nsiain. And, Mi.-s Barbara,
it's only a book agent, I know, for
he's got a bag like they always car
ry." "A man, then !"' Barbara's tone
was a little troubled. "It is bad
enough to be summoned in such a
plight into the presence of one of our
own sex, but a man !"
1 think my lady readers will ap
preciate Barbara's condition of
mind.
"Well, if I must, I must!" she
sighed, plaintively. "But I do wish
Rose had stayed at home to receive
any chance callers."
Wiping the soapsuds from her
har.ds was all the preparation that
Barbara made. She had torn her
dress fearfully upon the stepladder,
but did not observe it. She went
hastilydown stairs, torn frock, band
aged head, and all the other disad
vantages of dirt, the natural conse
quence of house-cleaning, opened
the parlor door, and stood face to
face with professor Norton.
Some awful instinct warned her
of the truth. He had arrived a day
earlier than he had expected, only
to be met in this primitive fashion.
But Baroara made the best of it.
like a sensible girl, and when she
had altered her personal appearance
by more suitable attire, she return
ed to the parlor, and there she found
herself a good two hours later, when
dinner was announced.
The acquaintance thus begun pro
gressed famously, and, I judge, with
the most gratifying results, for only
this morning I read in the daily pa
llets an announcement of the mar
riage of Professor Walter Norton to
Barbara, youngest daughter of the
late Edgar Arden.
And I know the young professor
has won a treasure beside whom
Rose's placid,,helples3 beauty counts
as nothing.
Mysteries ufaSnakcUiic
A daughter of Hon. A. C. ILamage
of Beilaire. Ohiof who was bitten on
the riiiht hand nine year3 ago this
summer by a copjterhead snake, has
suffered intensely on each anniversa
ry of the day on which she was bit
ten, the arm and hand becomin;:
swollen, and the original symptoms
of paralvsis appearing. The case
lias arour-ed much interest in the
medical profession as being some-
thin"; unprecedented in toxicological
phenomena. The incident, however,
has recalled the circumstances at
tending a similar case which occur
red in Livingston county. New York.
Colonel George Smith, who was Liv
ington county's first assemblyman,
in 1822, married a girl who had been
bitten .by a rattlesnake in 1S03.
Her life was saved, but regularly ev
ery year therealter, on the day ot the
month on which the bite wa indict
ed, the symptoms of the poisoning
violently returned. I he part bitten,
her ankle, became black and swol
len, and the entire leg was. affected
by it. The paroxysm of pain that
followed the original injection of the
poison re-appeared, and the victim
suffered terribly. The symptoms
gradually grew less violent during
the day, and oa the day following
entirely disappeared. These visita
tions became more violent every
year, and on the thirty-second ap
pearance the paroxysms were so vi
olent that Mrs. Smith was unable to
wear through them, and she died in
the most intense agony.
Miss liimage's return symptoms
are characterized by a similar in
crease iu violence, and it is feared
the visitation this year will prove
fatal. She was bitcenoa the l'Jth of
August, 1S75.

" Is the Democratic party for
Free Trade, or Protection ?" is the
question now being asked by the
plain people in the country. Is
the earth round or flat?" was once
asked of a country school teacher.

the reply. "Some likes it round,
and some likes it flat ; I . teach
either way."

A Hot Region.
One of the hottest regions of the j
earth is alone the Persian gulf, where ;
little or no rain falls. At Babrin the j
arid shore has no fresh water,
vet i
a comparatively numerous popula-j
tion contrives to live there, thanks j
to the copious springs which burst j
forth from the bottom of th sea. j
l ne iresu water is got by cliving.
The diver, sits in his boat, winds a
great goat-skin bag around his left
arm, the hand grasping its mouth ;
then he takes in his hand a heavy
stone to which is attached a strong
line, and, thus equipped, he plun
ges in and quickly reaches the bot
tom. Iiistauliy opening the bag
over the jet of fresh water, he spring
up the ascending current at the
same time closing the bag, unci he
is helped on board. Th stone is
then hauled up, ami the dter, af
ter taking breath, plunge? in again
The source of these copious sub
marine springs is thought to be in
the green hilis of Osmau. some fivo
or six hundred miles away.
