"WATCHING FOB PAPA. In the pleasant sunset hour, At the close of day, Wheu my little blue-eyed girlie Wearies of her play, Trips she lightly down the pathway, To the entrance gate, For her father's homeward coming There to watch and wait. High above the head so golden Stretch the gate-posts tall, High above the dainty figure Of the watcher sruaU; But against the rails sue presses Dimpled brow and cheek, As far down the road the blue eyes For "dear papa" seek. One by one the sunbeams vanish ? From the earth and sky, One by one the wandering birdies To their snug nests fly; But when comes the father homeward, Though the hour be late, Still he finds his own bright sunbeam Watching at the gate. : ?j r [Churchmo.71. SOLDIER, AND STATESMAN. Senator Bayard's Opinion of Gen. Unncock. The Democratic candidate for Presi? dent is no untried man. On the contra? ry, I shall show that he has been tried, thoroughly tried, and that he can lay claim to a record that has not fallen to the lot of any other public man of his time. [Applause.] Ia 186S he was named by many as the favorite candidate for President, and the delegates from Delaware at that convention, held in New York, balloted for him, if I recol? lect right. He was also voted for in 1876; and now for the third time he stands conspicuously before the nation, . with bis every act subjected to the vigor of partisan examination. And how does he stand ? Spotless and without re? proach, favored by the unanimous voice of the representatives of the party. the fiery test, r J Now, gentlemen, let me ask you one thing. Having passed through this fire of examination, let me ask this crowd whether there- has been the first breath of suspicion as to the honor, intelligence, fidelity or patriotism of that renowned and great soldier? Why was he nominated ? He never held a civil office. True. He has a military record as brilliant, as un? sullied, as glorious as that of any man in America. Why did the Democratic party nominate a military roan ? I will tell you why. Because this man has proved that God gavebim the same char? acteristics of conscience and of self-con? trol which He gave to the great George Washington. My friends, this is not the extreme utterauce of astump speech. It is the deliberate utterance of a man struggling to see the right and to follow it.. Since this world was there has been no influence so dangerous and corrupting to men's hearts as love of power. What was free government designed for but the protection of the minority against the majority? The great difficulties and dangers to'liberty have arisen wherever men intrusted with power have used it to perpetuate their own sway and' bring about tyranny instead of limited govern? ment. We know what made Washing? ton so conspicuous when he laid down his power and retired to the privacy of his home. There are many men as great as he in military knowledge and in the abilities of statesmanship, but how many other men would have voluntarily laid down their power when tbey could have used it for their own selfish, tyrannical purposes? I wish you- to comprehend this, because it is the keynote of the nom? ination of Winfield Scott Hancock. He held great power. He was military gov? ernor of a large extent of cou utry. His will could have been as law. At bis pleasure stood the liberty of every man. What Was his coarse?his Coarse alone of all the military governors in this country for the last fifteen years ? When asked in Louisiana and Texas to arrest persons he inquired where was the judicial process. When asked-to try persons' by military commissions he pointed to the courthouse and to the jury of twelve. When asked to fine men and to take from them their property he de? manded to know by what right under civil laws he could do these things. NO PARALLEL FOR HANCOCK. There have' been soldiers perhaps as able, perhaps as courageous, and that is saying a great deal; but name me one who has refused over and over again to exercise arbitrary power when he could have done so. [A voice, "None."] No, you can't name one. I have seen distinguished men, educated wholly in the Republican party, giving advice of the most arbitrary character that can be conceived; but where can you find a man who has had the chalice brought to his lips that he might drink full of control over his-fellow creatures, and who you have Been put it aside and say: "I am a mil? itary man; I am an American soldier, but I am a citizen with respect to the law, which is the Constitution I swore to support?" We saw the Legislature of South Car? olina organized at the will of a corporal without aoy guard. You all know what was seen in Louisiana. I do not propose to go over these recollections ia detail, nor to cite the unlawful exercises of mil? itary power, but I desire to show what was the character of the distinguished man whom the Democrats have nomina? ted during the time of the current of ty? ranny. The great lessoo to be derived from the resistance made to the tyranny of Xing George is the lesson I would bold up to you now. One of the charges against that potentate was that he at? tempted to subordinate the civil to the military power. Any man who attempts that is not fit to be a ruler of men. The man of our choice echoes the same spirit that made our people free in 76, and which will only restore and consolidate that freedom in 1880. Do you not re? member that bis power was as ample, that be had the same organization, admin? istration, or whatever you choose to call it, that other generals had ? Compare him with the New Orleans general who besought the President to issue that proc? lamation of outlawry?the proclamation declaring that the white men of Louisi? ana, Alabama, Mississippi, Texas and Georgia shall be outlaws?"and leave the rest to me." Such was the dispatch, I shame to say, of a major-general? aye, a lieutenant-general?of the army of the Uaited States. And from the Cabinet at Washington was sent the response: "We all approve of your ac? tion/' These names have passed into history covered with lasting reproach, for Belknap, who wrote that dispatch, proved a base rogue, as treacherous to the money of America as to the principles of liberty. This was the principle?this is to-day the great underlying principle of ihe two great parties. During the strug? gle from '61 to '65 there was little law and could be no law but force; but the difficulty has been that power obtained by force has been sought to be retained by force. garfied's record. If for the last four years you have been in peace, if you have been at liberty to attend your daily avocations and build up fortunes, do not thank the men who preferred the mailed hand of Ulysses Grant to lawful rule. Garfield is no un known man. He has a long record. He has been long a leader among the advo? cates of force bills, suspension of habeas corpus, military usurpation, and every other means resorted to by his party to prolong their power. There has not been a measure tending to exalt the military above the civil power, not a question tending to create animosity between the sections in which James A. Garfield was not on the same side. All this we pro? pose to end by placing in power a man who, although a distinguished soldier, nev? er forgot that his citizenship was a high? er distinction. THE LOGIC OF HANCOCK. The logic of Hancock is that the civil power is above the military. Sectional? ism should not be allowed as a party cry. What is called the bloody shirt must be folded up forever, and the American peo? ple should be brought together as one government and with equal right and af? fection towards it. These are the logical results, and he has been tried. If, as a major-general, he has done this, would he do otherwise as President ? Remember that Hancock not only earned his great renown by refusing arbitrary power when offered him, bnt he also incurred the ani? mosity of those whose purposes he re? fused to carry out and who could make his position in the army an uncomforta: ble one. Unfortunately there has beeu too much of this partisan feeling in the army and the navy, and men to gain promotion have had to do so at the ex? pense of independence and by covering themselves with partisan clothing. I have had reason to know of the case of an officer-who incurred the 'displeasure of President Grant and asked in vain for a reason until a leading Republican senator told him that he had been indis? creet in dining and wining with certain Democrats. [Laughter.] It is this spirit that is daugerous to the army, to the navy and to us all. When this spirit?the spirit of Sheridan's dispatch?prevails, why then, indeed, the army changes from being the beloved servants of the Nation into a very great danger. MORE THAN A TRUE SOLDIER. Hancock is more than a true soldier. As a citizen he values his right and pow? er above his right and power as a soldier. If you ask me why I love Hancock I say because I know that with him the liberty of my country will be safe. [Applause and cheers.] He has proved it. His life is to-day the fnost brilliant example (in? terrupting voice away back in the crowd: "Except yourself) that we have among our military men, .1. do not say that there is none so ?rave, so able as be, but I do say tbat none has been so tried as he and proved himself to possess the lofty self-control which induced the lay ing down of power at the command of con? science. This is why I claim be should be sustained all over the land. It may be remarked that we have al? ways talked against military power and yet have, taken tip a military man. My answer is, we do so not because he is a military power. We admire his gallantry and honesty, but Hancock is not only a soldier, but he is a man, a citizen, im? bued with a knowledge of what citizen? ship should be in a government of law. Nay, there is another reason ; there are many reasons, but let me state one more. There has been a great outcry in the North that the Southern people were antagonistic to the Northern and hated the government. Now it seems to me that this bubble must be pricked. With a solid Sooth for Winfield Scott Han? cock it seems to me there should be a solid North the same way. Surely, if the Southern people choose Hancock for some sinister end, they must not only be great knaves but great idiots. If this battle has to be a success?and God grant that it may succeed in the fullest sense? what better instance of success can be found than to see the man who led the hosts of the Union receiving the vote of every man who warred against it ? What victory greater than this ? If that be not the fruits of statesmanship, then pray tell me what is statesmanship for? Supporting the Guus. Did you ever see a battery take posi? tion? It hasn't the thrill of acavalry charge, nor the grimness of a line of bayonets moving slowly and determinedly on, but there is a peculiar excitement about it that makes old veterans rise in tne sad? dle and cheer. We have been fighting at the edge of the woods. Every "cartridge box has been emptied once more, and a fourth of the brigade has melted away in dead, wounded and missing. Not a cheer is heard in the whole brigade. We know that we are being driven foot by foot, and that when we break back once more the line will go to pieces and the enemy will pour through toe gap. Here comes help I Down the crowded highway gallops a battery, withdrawn from some other po? sition to save ours. The field fence is scattered while you could count thirty, and the guns rush for the hill bebind us. Six horses to a piece?three riders to each gun. Over dry ditches where a far? mer would not drive a wagon, through clumps of bushes, over logs a foot thick, every horse on the gallop, every rider lashing his team and yelling?the sight behind us makes us forget the foe iu front. The guns jump two feet high as the heavy wheels stiike a rock or log, but not a horse slackens his pace, not a cannoneer loses his Beat. Six guns, six caissons, sixty horses, eighty men, race for the brow of the bill as if him who reached it first was to be knighted. I A moment ago the battery was a con? fused mob. We look again and the six guns are in position, the detached horses l hurrying away, the ammunition chests open, and along our line ruus the com? mand : "Give them one more volley and j fall back to support the guns ?" Wc have scarcely obeyed, when boom ! boom! boom J opens the battery, and jets of fire jump down and scorch the green trees under which we fought and despaired. The shattered old brigade has a chance to breathe for the first time in three hours as we form aline of battle behind the guns and lie down. What grim cool fellows those cannoneers are 1 Every man is a perfect machine. Bullets plash dust in their faces, but they do not wince. Bul? lets sing over and around them, but they do not dodge. There goes one to the earth, shot through the head as be spong? ed his gun. The machinery loses just one beat?misses just one cog in the wheel, and then works again as before. Every gun is using a short-fused shell. The ground shakes and trembles?the roar shut out all sounds from a battle line three miles long, and'the shells go shriek? ing into the swamp to cut tree* short off ?to mow great gaps in the bushes?to hunt out and shatter aud mangle men until their corpses cannot be recognized as human. You would think a tornado was howling through the forest, followed by billows of fire, and yet men live through it?aye I press forward to capture the battery! We can hear their shouts as they form for the rush. Now the ?bells are changed for grape and canister, and the guns are served so fast that all reports blend into one mighty roar. The shriek of a shell is the wickedest sound iu war, but nothing makes the flesh crawl like the demoniac singing, purring, whistling grape shut and the serpent like hiss of canister. Men's legs are not shot through, but torn off. Heads are torn from bodies, and bodies cut in two. A round shot or shell takes two men out of the ranks as it crashes through. Grape and canister mow a swath and pile the dead on top of each other. Through the smoke we see a swarm of men. It is not a battle line, but a mob of men desperate enough to bathe their bayonets in the flames of the guns. The guns leap from the ground, almost, as they are depressed on the foe, and shrieks and screams aud shouts bleud into one awful and steady cry. Twenty men out of the battery are down, and the fir? ing is interrupted. The foe accept it as a sign of wavering, and come rushing on. They are not ten feet away when the guns give tbem a lust shot. The discbarge picks living men off their feet and throws them into a swamp, a blackened bloody mass. Up now, as the enemy arc among the guns ! There is a silence of ten seconds, and then the flash and roar of more than 3,000 muskets, and a rush forward with bayonets. For what? Neither on the right, nor left, nor in front of us is a Iiv iog foe. There arc corpses around us which have been struck by three, four and even six bullets, and no where on this acre of ground is a wounded man! The wheels of the guns cannot move un? til the blockade of dead is removed. Men cannot pass from the caisson to the guns without climbing over the winrows of dead. Every gun and wheel is smeared with blood?every foot of grass has its horrible stain. Historians write of the glory of war. Burial parties saw murder where histo? rians saw glory.?Detroit Free Press. The Blue-Jay Bird. There's more to a blue-jay than any other creature. He has got more moods and more different kinds of feelings than any other creature; and mind you, what? ever the blue-jay feels he can put into language. And no mere common-place language, either, but rattling out-and-out book talk?and bristling with metaphor, too?just bristling! And an for com? mand: of language?why. you never see a blue-jay get stuck for a word. No man ever did. They just boil out of him I And another thing?I've noticed a good deal, and there's no bird or cow, or anything that uses as good grammar as a blue-jay. You may say a cat uses good grammar. Well, a cat does?but you let a cat get excited once; you let a cat get to pulling fur with another cat on ashed, nights, and you'll hear grammar that will give you the lockjaw. Ignorant people think it's the noise which fighting cats make that is so aggravating, but it ain't so; it's sickening grammar they use. Now I've never heard a jay use bad grammar but very seldom, and when they do they are as ashamed as a human, they shut right down and leave. You may call a jay a bird. Well, so he is, in a measure?beeause he's got feathers on him, and don't belong to no church, perhaps; but otherwise he is just as much human as you be. And I'll tell you for why. A jay's gifts and instincts and feelings and iuterests cover the whole ground. A jay hasn't got any more principle than a Congressman. A jay will lie, a jay will steal, a jay will de? ceive, a jay will betray; and four times out of five a jay will go back on his sol emnest promises. The sacredness of an obligation is a thing which you can't cram into no blue-jay's head. Now, on top of all this, there's another thing; a jay can out-swear any gentlemen in the mines. You think a cat can swear. Well, a cat can; but you give a blue-jay a sub? ject that calls for his reserve powers, and where is your cat? Don't taW to- me*^I know too much about this thing. And there's yet another thing; in the one little particular of scolding?just good, dear out and out scolding?a blue-jay can lay over anything, human of divine. Yes, sir, a jay is everything that a man is. A jay can cry. a jay can laugh, a jay can feel shame, a jay can reason, and plan, and discuss; a jay likes gossip and scandal; a jay has got a sense of humor; a jay knows when he is an ass just as well as you do?maybe better. If a jay ain't human, he'd better take in his sign, that's all.?Mark Tioaw's "Damp Abroad^_ High-Handed Outrage. Atchison, Ks., July 16. C. H. Peck, contractor for the excava? tion work of the packing house of J. M. Smith, of East Atchison, Mo., having engaged several colored men, to whom he was paying a dollar and a quarter per day, a drunken mob, armed with revolv? ers and knives, made their appearance I on the spot to-day and compelled them to quit work. The crowd increased and proceeded to the brickyards of Smith & Co., where seven colored men were employed, compelled the suspension of all work and drove the negroes over the river. The mob then numbered several hundred, and was addreased by the Mayor and others urging peace and order, but without avail. The colored drivers of transfer teams were compelled to turn back over the bridge, and colored parties at various freight depots and other negroes in the town were hunted up and sent over into Kansas. The au? thorities finding all their efforts to quiet the mob useless,, telegraphed to Sheriff Spencer, of St. Joseph, to come and exercise bis authority, but he refused to come. The mob now have possession of East Atchison, and defy the law and the militia. The people of Atchison, who are largely in interested industries,' are indignant at these disgraceful proceed ings, and unless the officers of Buchan? an couuty, Mo., do their duty to? morrow they propose to take a hand in the affair, Fight With a P^ntHer.?A pan? ther hunt in Westchester County, N. Y., is described by the Poughkeepsie Eagle. The hunters were Oscar Purdy, of Tar rytown, and five associates, with ? pack of twelve hounds. The party struck the panther's trail in Wampus Swamp, near Pleasantville. Finally the dogs collect? ed under a huge tree and glared wildly up iuto its branches. The men advanced cautiously. Mr. Purdy told them not to go under the tree, for if it should be the panther they bad treed he would leap down in all probability and escape, but urged them to let the dogs occupy the animal's attention, so that they could all fire at once with a sure aim. When about twenty-five feet from the tree they saw a huge animal crouching on a large limb as if about to spring. I In vain did Mr. Purdy, who now saw ibey had the panther treed, expostulate with his companions to "keep back" and "be cool." Two of them ran forward almost under the very limb on which the panther rested, and among tfie dog.". The animal plunged headlong at one of the hunters, who tried to jump oue side, but did not get far enough away, for one of the panther's paws struck him on the left shoulder-blade and stripped his clothing clean from him. He now bears three deep cuts from the animal's claws from his hips to the knee of his left leg. The dogs quickly attacked the enraged beast, who shook several of them rough? ly, and then bounded over their heads into a thicket, and disappeared from view. Three of the hunters followed the trail with half a dozen dogs, and finally brought up at the mouth of a cave in a hill southeast of Pleasantville. The men could not persuade the dogs to enter, nor would they go without them. They marked the place well, as it is very prob? ably the home of the panther, and re? turned to Armonk, where their unfortu? nate fellow-huutcr had his wounds dressed. ? ? The practice of dueling flourishes only where there is a lack of moral courage. A recent writer, speaking of duels in France, said: The French are exceedingly afraid of being afraid ; the whole reason of nearly every duel in France is somebody's slavish dread of the imputation that he dare not fight." If public opinion condemned dueling, and respected a man who declined to accept a challenge, there would be no duels. Very few people care to risk their lives on what is called the field of honor. The risk is taken because a barbarous public opinion insists that it shall be taken. Fear and not courage, is the cause of nine-tenths of all the duels fought. It is asserted that there is a finer sense of honor where dueling is practiced. This is a mistake. In England duels are un? known. The English are as brave, gen? erous and honorable as any people in the world. Once they were duelists. They have, however, reached a higher plane of civilization. Dueling is an obstacle in the path of progress, and the sooner it is suppressed or abolished by force of public opinion the better it will be for the South.?New Orleans Time?. ? A young lady has a Sunday-school class of rather bright boys, averaging between seven and nine years. Recent? ly she requested each pupil to come on the following Sunday with some passage of the Scripture bearing on love. The lads heeded the request, and in turn re? cited their verses bearing upon that pop? ular topic?such as, "Lore your ene? mies," "Little childen, love one another," etc. The teacher said to the boy whose turn came last, "Well, Robbie, what is your verse?" Rising, he responded, "Song of Solomon, second chapter, fifth verse; 'Slay me with flagons, comfort me with apples, for I am sick of love.'" ? The shortest and most profitable railway in the world is probably to be seen at Coney Island, the "Marine Rail? way," connecting the Manhattan Beach Hotel and the Brighton Beach Hotel. It is 2,000 feet in length, is laid with steel rails, and has a handsome little station at each end. Its gauge is three feet. The cost of this miniature road, including stations and equipment, was $27,000. The operating expenses are $30 a day, and the average receipts are $450 a day the eutire season, ?900 being sometimes taken in. The fare charged is five cents. The property paid a profit last year of 500 per cent, on its cost. ? When a good man dies, the first question asked is, "Who will take his place ?" Even bad men will wonder who is to carry on the work of a very good man or woman. Did you ever hear that Bame question asked when a very bad man dies ? Or even when a selfish, hard? hearted person drops out of the way, no one asks as to the person who is to take his place. Yet there seems to be persons always on hand ready to take the place even of the worst men. The highest am ? bition of a young person should be to fill well the pla.ee of some good man or wo? man who has gone before. ? From an Ellenton, S. C, subscriber we learn that tbe following occurrence took place: A country doctor across the river presented his account to a patient, who had been quite ill but was now well. The ex-patient listened attentively to the account being read by the medical man, as follows: For medicines, so much ; for visits, so much. Finally, with an air of generosity and candor, he says: "Well, doctor, I have no money now, but will pay you for the medicine next Fall; the visits I will try and return."?Augusta Evening News. ? Dr. Childs threw a chair at his wife, at Hanover, N. H., and she indignantly left the boose. The neighbors could oot find her the next day, and, surmising that she had committed suicide, a search was made for her. The weather was in? tensely hot, and several of the industri? ous party were prostrated. That night, when exhausted1 by their long tramp through woods and streams, they learned that she Was safely hidden with a family 'close by. Then she had tofiy in earnest, to escape lynchiDg. ?

In 18(50 it took a passenger five days to go from New Orleans to New York, making nine changes, and many of these changes necessitated a long walk from depot to depot. In 1869 it took four days, with two or three changes ; in 1873 three and a half days, one change ; and now in 1880, a man can go in sixty houraand forty-five minutes, one change. ?
