Wevesoldtheoldfarm.Mary.andaregoing, ' Anmm .nA rmrA
to move out West,
But, in spite of all their la! ting, I like the old
place best ;
Perhaps onr sons and danghters will stand a
better show,
But when we're old and feeble, it's awful
hard to go.
I'm not Terr sensitive, Mary, and not rnoca
given to tears,
For Tve stood the rough-and-tnntble for
more than sixty years.
But when oor friends and neighbors come in
to say good bye,
I'll tell you what, I'm not ashamed for them
to see me cry.
To-day when we were going to town to sign
the deed,
My heart beat like a hiuirut r and I trembled
like a reed.
For it seemed to me like signing the deed of
life away,
To give up ail our trenres, when r are
old and gray.
Yes, here are treasures, Mary, that are not
bought and sold '
The scenes of joys and sorrows more dear to
ua than gold
The home where first we started together in
this life,
When I became your buaoaud and you be
came my a tie.
I know the farm is rocky, and hilly at the
' best,
And laud is rich and level, and cheaper in
the west.
But we have lived here, Mary, since yon
and I were wed,
And the trees there on the hillside are wav
ing 'bove our dead.
There's where our tint-born slumbers that
blessed our married life
And bouud our hearts together as one iu
man and wife ;
And it is hard, dear Mary, to break the
cords of love.
That binds the old plantation. to the spirit
Forms above.
But the farm is sold now, Mary, and onr
home is not our own ;
My eyes are dim with weeping, and my
heart is cold as stune ;
We've said the words of parting and the hand
of friendship pressed.
And next day's sun will find us on our jour
ney to the west.
But here before this altar, that we reared so
long ago,
Let's kneel once more together and pray be
fore we go,
That when we end life'a journey and our
throbbing hearts are still,
We may sleep together, Mary, over yonder
on the hill.
PARABLE OP CHAllLEY.
BY E. HOUGH.
Now it came to puts that in the
third year of the reign of Catharine,
Queen of the Earth, I became ac
quainted with Charley.
Charley was the brother of Catha
rine, and was a good-looking, solid,
respectable kind of a fellow, with
square shoulders, ruddy face, blonde
beard, and a full blue eye, whose
glance fell upon you like a shaft.
In all his social and business rela
tions he was an eminently correct
young man, against whom the few
est of mistakes or failures could be
urged. This, combined with the
fact that be was Catharine's brother,
was the reason for deep and undy
ing hatred which 1 bore him a
hatred wh'ch for a long time seemed
capable of being appeased only by
gore.
In the first place, he was always
punctual. The unfailing regularity
with which he every morning ap
peared at his desk in the pork house
( he was manaeer in the establish
ment) was only equalled by the ex-
ceeding precision with which he dis-
charged the minutest details of his
daily appointments. Now I am
fond of the morning hour for sleep
myself, and have a theory that one
will live longer if he employ it in
sleep. Therefore I pity a man who
will continuously peril his health as
Charley does.
In tbe next place he was always
methodical, lie was never known
to varw from his established daily
routine of business any rxore than a
responsible clock is observed to de
viate from iU accustomed method
of beating seconds. Being disposed
myself to think that all is well tbat ;
ends well, I can feel nothiug bat!
contempt for a wan who is such a
mere machine.
In the next place he was stable
and permanent.
He had at once decided upon his
line of life, and had never afterward
wavered in it. He had been twenty
years iu the establishment t,f which
he, was manager, and which he had
first entered iu the capacity of fourth
book-keeper while he was yet a mere
lad.
I, myself, having tried in turn a
half dozen different occupations, all
of which provt d uncongenial, am by
nature in deadly feud with the man
who has no spice in his
(Though I have olten suspected that
it waa my own cake which was all
dough.)
And then, again, he was content
ed at home. He had repeatedly re
ceived the kindest invitations to
ioin parties touring to Europe, to
Cuba, to California or to the Nation
al Park ; but, although abundantly
able to travel, he always declined
these propositions, saying that he
could not spare the lime from busi
ness. Now I am passionately fond of
travel, change and excitement, and
have visited most of tbe leading
places of - interest to - tourists al
though myself a poor man. So I
have no patience with an unambi
tious stay-at-home.
When I add to all these things
the disgusting prosperity of the man
his house and lot; his money in the
bank : his everlasting increasing sal
ary I have enough to explain to
any rational mind the ill-will I bore
for Charley. I
But tbat which first fanned the
slumbering wrath, and well-nigh
caused ma to imbrue -my hands in
the heart's blood yf a fellow-being
happened in this wise. I had just
returned from a year's residence ia I
California (.and waa searching for
employment.) when, as a matter of
course, I called upon Catharine.
For CatbariBe is long suffering and
kind, and so I am always privileged
to called noon her. As I entered
the drawing room, Catharine extend-
ed her hand to me, and permitted j
me to salute the tips of her fingere.
ESTABLISHED 1827.
SOMERSET PA., WEDNESDAY.
vci.j a.ucu a. u. wvov-
to tell her all about my experience
in the West Catharine listened po
litely for a time she is the politest
person! and tnen gently tola me
that she did not care to bear about
my Western life.
An awkward pause ensued, and
at length Catharine remarked :
"Did I eter tell yoa of the offer
Charley had to go in charge ot an
excursion to California ?
I remarked that she had never
told me.
"Yes; he could have gone for
nothing,and have remained a month.
The firm wished him to go, and
told him he needed rest But he
would not go. Charles is. such a
hand t stay at home and stick to
business I"
I pleasantly changed the topic, and
began to speak of some of the young
lady acquaintances I had met since
my return, remarking how glad they
seemed to Bee me.
"Did you see Hattie Coswell?
asked Catharine.
"Oh, yes ; and she "
"They Bay that she is quite well
pleased with Charley. But Charley
is a general favorite with the ladies,
although I believe he hardly under
stands why they flock about him eo
or perhaps, indeed, never suspects
that ihey do at alL"
"He has no heart, perhaps," said
I, somewhat acridly.
"Indeed, sir, you quite mistake ! I
am very sure he has a heart, and a
manly one at that. 'I think he will
pay little attention to tbe ladies un
til he has attained his station in
life, and made a home for himself;
then, I think, he will net make
much stir about it, but will just get
married."
Catharine siched a little sigh
which she checked at once. I chang
ed the subject. I talked of my bus
iness plans. She listened for a time,
and then said suddenly, as if she
bad just thought of it :
"Charley never talks of business
to us women, although he manages
the business of the whole family.
He thinks tbe men ought to attend
to the business
"May the foul fiend fly away with
Charley!" thought I.
I gayly fell upon another theme,
and asked Catharine to admire my
new coat
"Yes, it is very pretty," said she.
Then, after a moment, "I do think
Charley has the fewest suits, to look
so well as he does. But he is eco
nomical in everything. He will
make a good husband, Charley will !"
I resolved for the twentieth time,
to murder Charley, and soon after
excused myself and retired.
It was not long after this I fell
dangerously ill, being confined to
my bed for Borne weeks. My con
dition became so alarming that I
was visited and constantly attended
by Catharine, who proved herself a
most devoted and efficient nurse so
j that (although during my conva
lescence I remember once to have
heard her murmur to herself that
"Charley was so strong I") I could
not on the whole find any fault with
her ministrations. Indeed, I am in
clined to think that my sickness
was a dispensation of Providence.for
during the days of my slow recov
ery, I had ample time to review my
life, and review it I did, and a very
poor and miserable kind of life I
found it. with no purpose and no
success at ali attached to it. It was
j not the kind ot a life
bich I admir-
ed, though, singularly enough, I had
; never thought of that before, and
I probably never would have done so
had it not been for that convenient
Charley. And then and there I re
solved to reform, to make the most
of myself, and go steadily to work
with a purpose. .
When I grew better I called upon
Catharine again. I took her whole
hand in mine and told her that I
bad been a fool and that I loved
her. 1 told her tbat 1 was going
West again, but that I was going to
stick to uit business and make a
home ana that I loved her. Quite
ennn altar that T rncA in rn Pnthfl
row also. She leaned toward
me quite imperceptibly, and all at
once 1 saw that, it 1 wished, it might
all be as it was five years before.
With the greatest struggle of my
! life, I Faluted only the tips of her
fingers, and said to her:
"Catharine, my dear girl, lam not
worthy to touch your lips now.
When I come back I will be, and
then I will kiss them."
From the other side of my b '.i
der Catharine sobbed :
"I am q 'quite sure that Ch-Cb. r-
let would, ri-right now I"
"God bless you.Charley P thought

A SPEECH FROM LOG .AN.

Boston, July 2. General Logan
remarked to a friend the other day
in Portland that some people in
Boston seemed to regard him as an
igno;-amus who could hardly write
his name, but that he proposed to
show them in the address which he
was to make before tbe Norfolk Club
that he did not quite deserve 'he
title of " illiterate fellow," applied to
bim last fall by one of the leading
Boston Mugwumps. His opportu
nity came to-night, and he kept his
promise. The dinner, which was
the occasion of the address, was at
tended by as distinguished a gather
ing of Republicans as could be
brought together in the State, the
250 gentlemen who sat at the tables
including the Governor, the Lieutenant-Governor,
ex-Governor Long
and Senator Hoar. Mrs. Logan, so
numerous were the calls for her,
was obliged to appear for a moment
at the preliminary reception, where
she was given a most enthusiastic
greeting.
At the dinner the sentiment of the
company was admirably expressed
by ex-Goyernor Long, when in be
ginning his speech he said :
I join heartily in the welcome to
General Logan. I doubt if he alto
gether knows how general and cor
dial was the feeling here of satisfac
tion at his recent re-election to the
United States Senate, not only with
Republicans, but to a very consider
able extent with Democrats and
Mugwumps also, they very properly
having at heart more confidence in
pur side thaa in their own. It was
a good victory, and we all rejoice
with the General in it; and yet it
, was to be expected that one should
be able to go from Springfield to
Washington whose black plume had
wa7ed at Sherman's side in the
march from Atlanta to the sea.
THE CIVIL SERVICE QUESTION.
Geuenl Logan, who was received
with enthusiasm, devoted the open
ing paragraphs of bis speech to
Massachusetts and Massachusetts
men, prominent among whom were
I those who bad devoted themselves
i to education. This led him to speak
jof the importance of aiding educa
tion in the South, so that the en
franchised negroes might be enabled
to secure for themselves the rightsof
citizens, of which they are now de
prived. Concerning the offices and
the Civil Service Reform law. he
said :
When the law was passed the in
tention was to put into the positions
to which the law applied such per
sons as were found to be best quali
fied to perform the duties required,
and also to retain in position such
persons as were well qualified and
found to have faithfully performed
their duties. The law is now being
j construed, however, to the effect tbat
a person who voted the Republican
ticket at the last election committed
a crime against tbe peace and digni
ty of the Democratic party a new
offense heretofore unknown to law or
politics, to wit: "offensive partisan
ship." In the proceedings against
persons who are supposed to com
mit the offense, the secret accusa
tion, the testimony and trial pre
ceding the conviction and execution
savor of the Star Chamber. A ma.n
may have rebelled", or, being in the
North, may have sympathized with
rebellion against the Government.
He may have sought to negotiate
with foreign powers for its over
throw. He may have striven to ham
string it at the most critical moment
of its desperate struggle for exist
ence He may have attempted to
destroy its beneficent influence. He
may have tried to make our institu
tions a byword and a mockery
among the nations. He may have
terrorized voters. He may have
suptjressed or destroved the ballot,
! or fraudulentlv perverted its true in
tent and meaning. He may have
assisted iu enacting laws under
whose operation freedom became a
delusion ami personal liberty a
snare. But these exploits do not
seem to proe him to be an " offen
sive partisan," provided always that j
he voted the democratic ticket. I
i Shall a man who has beei true,
! even at the risk of life, limb, health j
and fortune to the Union, to free
j dom, to the sanctity of the ballot
l and to that spirit of progress which
I is acceptable in the sight of God, be
j amenable to the charge of" offensive
partisanship " for exercising his
! right, as an American citizen? Is
this the character of man who is of
fensive to the Democratic party ?
DEMOCRATIC UNFAIRNESS.
Mr. Chairman, the tt offensive par
tisan " is the Republican, the effi
cient partissn " is the Democrat
He is to be appointed as a reward
for his political zeal. His appoint
ment will not improve the public
service, I fancy, but is made for pay
tisan reasons only. Do we not see
the civil service principles twisted,
warped, and most wretchedly de
formed instead of the service being,
as was promised, reformed ? I ob
ject, for on, to the prostitution of
the public service in the name ot re
form. I insist tbat there should be
candor and fair dealing in the mat
ter of making removals from office.
If our political opponents propose
to make removals from all tbe offi
ces I say that, instead of trumping
up frivolous and unjust charges
against Republican incumbents as a
justification for tlieir removal, they
should announce that they are to be
turned out because they are Repub
licans and their successors are to be
appointed becaruse they are Demo
crats. Tear away the mask of re
form and let the face of Democracy
come forth. j
During the canvass of last year
nnr rinnnnentn
demanded tbat tbe
ruueofa ur.r.n1rt tw tnt-rier. nnt" and
insisted on ''examining the books" j
and "counting the money." They
hav connted the monev which was '
collected and cared for by ' the Re
publican, party, and have found it
all there except two obstinate pen-
nies that seemed bent upon proving
nnr rasrttlitw. until thev themselves
were "found out." I regret exceed
kklS1J v'vV'Aa wAAtBBU) a4-w avwwivtsw t
party did not have the pleasure of
ingly, however, that the Republican
t 'counting the nation's money, when!
tney came mio power, mat nau oeen
collected and cared for by the Dem
ocratic party. The needd of the na
tion were greater then than now.
The books have been examined and
have "passed muster." Under the
Civil Service rules they were enti
tled to remain in statu quo, but un
der the receut rule of the Democra
cy the manner of keeping them must
be changed, I presume, on account
of" offensive partisanship."
The Democrats have been dili
gently searching for the " rascals " ;
with a view ot turning them out, aa :
they should have been had theyj
been found. Every time they have ,
scratched " for a ' rascal " they j
h:iva found nnlv an "nfTensive! nar-!
tUan," and have, instantly turned
him out.
The Republican party is not dead;
it lives the life of the vigorous and
strong. It will be returned to pow
er by the people it is the party of
the people ; Protection to our home
free labor demands it ; the restora
tion of true civil service reform de
mands it; adequate appropriations
to aid the system of free schools,
wherever needed, demand it ; the
promoting ot our home industrial
interests in all proper ways demand
it. The necessity for the enforce
ment of the right of every voter with
in our natioual bouudaries to cast
his ballot and have the same fairly
counted at all national elections,
and to give to each man that equal
and adequate protection before the
law to which he is entitled, requires
the return of the Republicans to
power, both iu Congress and in the
Executive branch of the Govern
ment. In ,order that the financial
system established by the Republi
can party may be preserved ; that
the revenues of the country may be
protected against unwarantetl claims
upon the Treasury ; that our curren
cy may be kept worth one hundred
cents on the dollar, and at all times
redeemable in coin, the credit of our
Government iu all respects sustain
ed, our commercial relations cared
for, and our relations with foreign
natioLS maintained on a just and
honorable basis, the restoration of
the Republican party to power is
demanded.
Pott's Purchase.
"I think, my dear. March pork is
a good purchase," said Mr. Potts,
taking another pancake and skim
ming over the morning paper.
"I guess we don't need any, thank
you," said Mr. Potts, "if you see
any good October butter anywhere
yon might send up a jar."
"You don't understand me, my
dear. I mean a little speculation.
Let me show you how it works.
Now I buy 250 barrels of pork at
S12.371 a barrel."
"Heavens and earth, Mr. Potts,
where are yon going to put it all."
"Don't be bo fast, wife. I don't
ever see the pork myself, or have
anything to do with it."
'I thought you just said you were
going to Bend up 250 barrels."
"No, I didn't The pork I am
going to buy is way off in Chicago."
"How did you know whether it is
good or not, then ?"
"Dear me. wife ; what do I care
whether it is good or bad ? I merely
go long."
"You mean you go long minding
your own business."
"No, no. That's a technical
phrase. Let me explain it to you.
You see when I go long, the bucket
shop goes short"
"Short?"
"Short, Mrs. Potts."
"Short of pork ? Why don't they
get some more, dear ?"
"Good Lord. wife, the whole thing
is plain as day. Here I go to a
bucket shop and buy 250 barrels of
pork : that, don't you see, makes
them bears and me a bull."
"Don't you know any better, Mr.
Potts, than to talk like that before
your own children ? 1 should think
you'd be ashamed of yourself, sir.
You get worse every day."

talkine about. Mrs. Potts,

pork, according to my way of think
ing, will be. worth a dollar or two
more a barrel than I pave for it, and

nOCRBOX TRACDS IN VIRGINIA.
TWO OF THE RASCALS BROUGHT
BOOK.
TO
To Tlte Editor of the Tribune.
Sir: The following is a true nar
rative of facts in a contested election
case touching the county officers of
Norfolk County, just decided. Lest
these facts published anonymously
should seem exaggerated you are
authorized to publish them over my
name.
I was counsel in the case and
heard all the evidence. At the gen
eral election for county officers held
May 2S, 1385, in Virginia, according
to the returns the Bourbon Democ
racy achieved a victory in Norfolk
County and heralded these returns
to the country. In the western
branch district the candidates for
Supervisor were J. O. B. Crofter,
Democrat, and S. B. Carney, Repub
lican. According to the returns
Crocker waa elected by 1 13 majority.
I will mention but two precincts
out of the four included in the elec
tion district Tbe vote as returned
from Hall's Corner precinct 6tood:
Carney 150, Crocker US ; and the
vote as returned from Glebe precir.ct
stood: Crocker 1S7, Carney 30.
Both of these precincU had in No
vember last cast overwhelming ma
jorities for Llaine. This election,
however, was held under the new
Bourbon electoral law. When the
returns came in Mr. Carney, who is
one of our best and thriftiest citi
zens, at once saw that the returns
were utterly fraudulent, and served
notice of contest upon Crocker. The
trial of the ca-e was completed to
day. The facts proved were as fol
lows: the election was held by three
judges appointed under the new
l.ourbon .electoral law; two judges,
Thomas P. Cooke and Thomas H.
Culpfpper, were Democrats ; the
third, a colored man and a Repnb
can was selected by the two Demo
cratic judges) after the opening of
the polls. Five uniro peached color
ed voters swore that in the afternoon
they saw a stranger about the polls,
and one of them testified that he
saw him holding up ballots togeth
er to see if they would fall apart AU
testified that,, suspecting him, they
took position near the ballot-box
and watched hia movements. In a
few moments he approached the
box. had some colloquy with the
judge (Cooke i in an undertone, and
thereupon the.two Democratic judg
es turned their backs and walked
off as if intending to leave the room;
that the witnesses saw him quickly
drop something into the box which
they took to be ballots; that they all
cried out "there's a man stuffing the
box," and thereupon the judges
came back, and one of them ex
claimed, "if anybody said that man
put anytning into the box he is n
and 111 shoot the
stuffing out of him;" and thereupon
the man walked off unmolested and
not denying the charge. It was then
proved that when the ballot-box
was opened that night and the bal
lots counted first they overran 41
ballots; that thereupon Thomas P.
Cooke, the Democratic judge, was
blindfolded and drew out 41 ballots:
that thereupon the ballots were put
back in the box, shaken up, and on
the recount the ballots overran 19
ballots, whereupon Cooke was again
blindfolded and drew out 19 ballots;
that it was then shaken up a third
time, counted, and found to over
ran 7, and Cooke being blindfolded
drew out 7 ; that the ballots were
then strung and found to overrun
11, wbereupon Cooke was again
blindfolded and drew out 11 Repub
lican ballots. But 304 votes were
cast at Hall's Corner for Supervisor;
thus over 23 per cent of the ballots
in the box were fraudulent The re
turns gave Carney 156, Crocker 14S.
We had present in Court 233 men

During the progrese f the trial
when the facts were fully developed
touching tbe frauds at Hall's Cor
ner, we caused the arrest of Cooke,
the Democratic judge, on the charge
of felony for putting fraudulent bal
lots in the box. His brother was
one of the judges at the Glebe pre

tbe prosecution against him upon
the agreement ol the judges at both

for doing so was because a Bourbon

A few short, pitny rules lor making-the
best of hay might just now
ke repeated, as follows: Get the
mowers into good condition, with
out a day's unavoidable delay ;
watch the grass closelv, and cut it
just before the seed is formed just
when the blossom is fading. Cut as
soon as the dew is off, but not while
it is damp. Before the evening dew
falls upon it rake it up and put in
cocks nolding about three hundred
pounds each. If rain threatens,
cover the cocks safely with hay caps.
Take in no hay until all has been
cut and cocked. The hay will cure
in the best manner in the cock, and
it may stay a week without harm, if
covered with the caps. When ready
t(j dray it to the barn uncover the
cocks and throw them over and
open them. Hare one person do
ing this while the others axe loading
and drawing in. Do not stack it,
but place it under a tight roof, if it
is only a barrack, open at tbe sides.
Uncover only what can be drawn in
in one day. As soon as the field is
clear, give it a top dressing of com
poet or artificial fertilizer ; but dt
not turn the cows upon it it would
pay better to buy some hay from a
neighbor. This last rule applies to
the next years' crop, but it is right
ly placed here, because next year
would be too late to use it It is of
the greatest importance, and should
by no means be omitted. Finally,
gather the hay caps together ; dry
them, if necessary ; lay them even
ly, one upon another ; roll them up;
bind themin the roll, and store
them in a dry place, where no mice
can gnaw holes in them. It would
be an excellent thing to steep
them in a solution of alum and su
gar ot lead, to preserve and make
them waterproof.
Gcneravl Grant a Baptism.
A story is told by the friends of
General Grant of the scene which
took place on the Thursday morning
when it was supposed he was dying.
The ' weeping family were grouped
around the bed where the soldier
lay wearily and painfully breathing.
His thin, white hand clutched the
counterpane, and his eyes were clos
ed. Suddenly Dr. Douglas placed
bis ear to the sick man's breast and
strode from the room hastily. An
instant later he returned with Dr.
Shrndy.
"Nothing can save him," whisper
ed Dr. Douglas.
"Brandy," murmured the other.
"He can't swallow. It would kill
him."
"I'll give it to him hypodermic
ally." "How mnch?
"A barrelfull, if necessary."
Tears fell from Mrs. Grant's eyes,
and she called upon her husband to
speak to ber. Then Rev. Dr. New
man procured a silver bowl filled
with water, and with his fingers he
sprinkled the brow of the soldier
and baptised him.
A smile dawned upon the white
features and the blue lips opened
faintly. Then Dr. Shrady injected
some brandy into his arm. There
was a faint fluttering of tbe heart,
as of some bird weary of captivity,
and it slowly resumed it regular
pulsations.
' Doctor, how is he 2" asked Dr.
Newman.
"I believe be will get well."
"Our prayers have been answered"
said the clergyman, devoutly.
"I think it was the brandy," ob
served the physician, humbly.
