The Old Story of the Man Who Intrusted Money to his Servants and Received Interest from Some of Them-Rewards for the Dull as Well as the Brilliant. The Rev. Dr. Talmage preached to a large congregation in the Brooklyn Tab ernacle on Sunday on "Bewards for the dull as well as the brilliant." He took for his text, "Unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every one according to his several ability." Matt. xxv. 15. He said: "Many of the parables of Jesus Christ were more graphic in the times in which he lived than they are now, because circumstances have so much changed. In olden time, when a man wanted to wreak a grudge upon his neighbor, after the farmer had scattered the seed weat over the field and was expecting the harvest, his avenger would go across the same field with a sack full of the seed of darnal grass, scattering that seed all over the field, and of course it would sprout up and spoil the whole crop; and it was to that Christ referred in parable when he spoke of the.tares being sown among the wheat. "In this land our farms are fenced off, and the wolves have been driven to the mountains, and we cannot fully under stand the meaning of the parable in re gard to the shepherd and thd lost sheep. But the parable from which I speak to day is founded on something we all undarstand. It is built on money, and that means the same in Jerusalem as in New York. It means the same to the serf as to the Czar, and to the Chinese coolie as to the Emperor. Whether it is made out of bone or brass, or iron or copper, or gold or silver, it speaks all languages without a stammer. The parable of the text runs in this wise: The owner of a large estate was about to leave home, and he had some money that he wished properly invested, and so he called together his servants and said: "'I am going away now, and I wish you would take this money and put it to the very best possible use, and when I come back return to me the interest.' To one man he gave $9,400, to others he gave lesser sums of money; to the least he gave $1,880. He left home and was gone for years, and then returned. On his arrival he was anxious to know about worldly affairs, and he called his servants together to report to him. 'Let me know,' said he, 'what you have been doing with my property since l have been gone.' The man who had received the $9,400 came up andsaid: 'I invested that money. i got good interest for it. I have in other ways rightly employed it; and here are $18,800. You see I have doubled what you gave me.' 'That's very good,' said the owner of the estate, 'that's grandly done. I admire your faithfulness and industry. I shall re ward you. Well done; well done.' "Other servants came up with smaller accumulations. After a while I see a man dragging himself along, with his head hanging. I know from the way he comes in hat he is a lazy fellow. He comes up to the owner of the estate and ere are those $1,880. What!' says the Owner of~the property, 'haven't you -made it accumnlate anything?' 'othing-nothing.' 'Why, what have you been about all these years?' 'Oh, I was afraid that if I invested it, I might somehow lose it. There are your $1,880.' Many a man started out with only a crown in his pocket, and achieved a fortn, but this fellow of my text with $1,880'has gained not one farthing. In stead -of confessing his indolence, he goes to work to berate his master, for indolenc'e is most always impudent and impertinent. Of course he loses his place azad is discharged from the service. "Thetowner who went out into a far contry is Jesus Christ, going from earth to Heaven. The servants spoken of in the text are membersof the Church. The talents are our different qualifica tions of usefulness given in different proportions to diferent people. The coming back of the owner is the Lord yesus returningat the judgement to final setkinent. The raising of some of these men to be rulers over live or two cities is the exaltation of the righteous at the last day, while the casting out of the idler is :the expulsion of all those who have mis improved their privileges. --earn urst from this subject, that becoming a Christian is merely going out to serve. If you have any romatic idea about becoming a Christian, I want now to scatter the romance. If you enter into the Kingdom of God, it will be going into plain, practical. honest, conuous, persistent Christian work. I know there are a great many people who have fantastic and romantic notions about this Christian life, but he who seves G.od with all the energies of body, mind and saoul is a worthy servant; and he 'who does not, is an unworthy servant. Wen the war trumpet sounde, all the Lord's soldiers must march, however deep the snow may be, or however fear fi the odds against them. Under our Government we may have colonels, and captains, and generals in time of peace; but in the Church of God there is no peace until the last great victory shall nave been achieved. But I have to tell you, it is a voluntary service. People are not brought into it as slaves were dragged from Africa. "Learn also from this parable~ that different qualificationsa are given to different people. The teacher lifts a blackboard, and he draws a diagram, in order that by that diagram he may im ress the mind of the pupil with the ruth that he has been uttering. And all the truths of this Bible are drawn out in the natural world as in a great diagram. Here is an acre of ground that has ten talents.- Undera little cult ure it yields twenty bushels of wheat to the acre. Here is another piece of ground that has only one talent. You may plow it, and harrow it, and culture it, year after year, but it yields a mere pittance. So here is a man with ten talents in the way of getting good and doing good. He soon, under Christian oubue yields penat harvests of faith and good work. Here is another man who seems to have only one talent, and you may put upon him the greatest spiritual culture, but he yields but little of the fruits of righteousness. You are to understand that there are different qualifications for different individuals. "I learn also from this parable that the grace of God was intended to be ac cumulative. When God plants an acorn, he means an oak, and when He plants a small amount of grace in the heart, He intends it to be growthful and enlarge until it overshadows the whole nature. There are parents who, at the birth of each child, lay aside a certain amount of money, investing it, expecting by accumulation and by compound interest, that by the time the child shall come to mind-life, this small amount of money will be a fortune, showing how a small amount of money will roll up into a vast accumulation. Well, God sets aside a certain amont of grace for each one of his spiritual children at his birth, and it is to go on, and, as by compound in terest, accumulate until it shall become an eternal fortune. Can it be possible that you have been acquainted with the Lord Jesus for ten, twenty, or thirty years, and that you do not love Him more now than you ever did before? Can it be that you have been cultured in the Lord's vineyard, and that Christ finds on you nothing but sour grapes? "Again, I learn from the text that in feriority of gifts is no eicuse for indo lence. This man, with the smaller amount of money, came growling into the presence of the owner of the estate, as much as to ..y: 'If you had given me $9,400 I would have brought $18,800 f as well as this other man. You gave me I only $1,880, and I hardly thought it was I worth while to use it at all. So I hid it 1 in a napkin, and it produced no result. i It's because you didn't give me enough.' But inferiority of faculties is no excuse 1 for indolence. Let me say to the man I who has the least qualifications, by the grace of God he may be . made almost i omnipotent. The merchant, whose car- E goes come out from every island I of the sea, and who, by one stroke of the pen, can change the whole face of 3 American commerce, has not so much power as you may have before God, in earnest, faithful and continuous prayer. "You say you have no faculty. Do s you not understand that you might this I afternoon go into your place of prayer . and kneel before God and bring down < upon your soul and the souls of others a i blessing so vast that it would take eter- t nal ages to compute it? 'Oh,' you say, 'I haven't fleetness of speech; I can't talk well; I cant utter what I want to say." My brother, can you not quote one passage of Scripture? Then take that one passage of Scripture; carry it with you every where; quote it under all proper circumstances. With that one passage of Scripture you may har-. vest a thousand souls for God. I am glad that the chief work of the Church t in this day is being done by the men of one talent. Once in a while when a great fortress is to be taken God will bring out a great fieldpiece and rake all t with the fiery hail of destruction.l "But the common muskets do most of the hard fighting. It took only one Joshua, and the thousands of common troops under him, to drive down the walls of the cities, and, under wrathful strokes, to make nations fily like sparks e from the anvil. It only took one Luther for Germany, one Zwinglius for Switz- t erland, one John Knox for Schotland, one Calvin for France, and one John Wesley for England. Dorcas as certainly has a mission to serve as Paul has a mission to preach. The two minutes ropped by the window into the poor box will be as muoh applauded as the edowment of a college, which gets a man's name into the newspapers. The a man who kindled the fire under the burnt offering in the ancient temple had a duty as imperative as that of the high priests, in magnificent robes, walking ito the Holy of Holies under the cloud I f Jehovah's presence. Yes, the men with one talent are to save the world, or t it wilnever be saved at all. The men l1 with five or ten talents are tempted to I oil chiefly for themselves, to build up their own great name, and work for ~ their own aggrandizement, and do noth ing for the alleviation of the world's ~ woes. The cedar of Lebanon standing n the mountain seems to hand down the storms out of the heavens to the C earth, but it bears no fruit, while some a :warf pear tree has more fruit on its v branches than it can c irrv. Better to ' iave one talent and put it to full use than five hundred wickedly neglected. "My sui-ject teaches me that there is going to come a day of solemn settle ent. When the old farmer of the text got home, he immediately called all the servants about him and said: -Here is the little account I1 have been keeping. t [ want to see your account, and we will C irst compare them, and I'll pay you i what I owe you and you'l1 pay me what you owe me. Let us have a settlement.' 'he day will come w'hen the Lord Jesus ~ a hrist will appear and will say to you: 'What Lave you been doing with my property ? What have you been doing iwith my faculties? What have you been t oing wi:h wist I gave you for accumu lativepurposei? Thecrewillbe no escape from ti at settbi*. "Now, in the last great settlement there will be a correct account presented. Gd has kept a long line of broken Sabbaths, a long line of profane words, ~ a long line of discarded sacraments, a long line of misimproved privileges. They will all be added up, and, before t angels and devils and men the aggregate.a will be announced. Oh, that will be the great day of settlement. I have to ask the question: 'Am I ready for it?' It is of more importance to me to answer that question in regard to you; and it is of more importance for you to answer it in regard to yourself than in regard toe me. Every man for himself in that day. Every woman for herself in that day. 'If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself; if thou scorness, thou alonet shalt bear it. "I learn also from this parable of the text that our degrees of happiness in heaven will be graduated according to our degrees of usefulness on earth. Several of the commentators agree in making this parable the same one as in Luke, where one man was made ruler over five cities and another made ruler over two cities. Would it be fair and right that the professed Christian man who has lived very near the line between the world and the Church-the man who has oftean compromisedi his C!hristiani character, the man who has never spoken out for God; the man who has been known as a Christian only on commu nion days; the man whose great straggle has been to see how much of the world he could get and yet win heaven-is it right to suppose that that man will have as grand and glorious a seat in heaven as the man who gave all his energies of of body, mind and soul to the service of God? The dying thief entered heaven, but not with the same startling acclaim as that which greeted Paul, who had gone under scorchings, and across dun geons and through maltreatmente into the kingdom of glory. One star differs from another in glory, and they who toil mightily for Christ on earth shall have a far greater reward than those who rendered only half a service. "Some of you are' hastening on to ward the reward of the righteous. I want to cheer you up at the thought that there will be some kind of a reward waiting for you. There are Christian people in this house who are very near heaven. This week some of you may pass into the light of the unsetting sun. ( saw a blind man going along the road with his staff, and he kept pounding the earth and then stamping his foot. I ,aid to him: 'What do you do that for?' Oh,' he said. 'I can tell by the sound of tne ground when I am near a dwelling.' A.nd some of you can tell by the sound. f your earthiy pathway that you are soming near your father's house. I con gratulate you. Oh, weather-beaten voy igers, the storms are driving you into ,he harbor. "Just as when you were looking for a :riend, you came up to the gate of his louse, and you were talking with the servant, when your friend hoisted the indow and shouted, 'Come in, come n!' Just so, when you come to the rate of the future world and you are alking with Death, the black porter at he gate, methinks Christ will hoist the vindow and say: 'Come in, come in! I vill make thee rnler over ten cities.' In aticipation of that, and I do not wonder hat Augustus Toplady, the author of Rock of Ages,' declared in his last mo aent: 'I have nothing more to pray for; ?od has given me everything. Snrely to man can live on earth after the glories have witnessed.' Oh, my brothers and isters, how sweet it will ne, after the ong wilderness march, to get home. Chat was a bright moment for the tired love in the time of the deluge when it ound its way safely into the window of he ark." HARRISON AND THE SOUTH. .he White People of this Section Intend to Control the Government. (Montgomery Harvester.) If Mr. Harrison is governed by patriotic pulses, and not by partisan and section 1 iders, he will set his face resolutely gainst the men who threaten reconstruc io of the South. (Augusta, Ga., Chronicle.) The people of Georgia anA the people of be South must stand together in favor of hite supremacy and good government. n this rests our only hope for the develop ent and civilization of the Southern tates. (savannah News.) President Harrison can relieve the South rn people of a burden of apprehensions y announcing in his inaugural address hat he will not pursue a policy calculated > breed race troubles, and that be recog izes that the race problem can be solved sore readily by the Southern people them elves, and without outside interference. (Macon News.) We bespeak for Southern men alive to he interest of their section and its possi 'ilities a fair and manly reception of the dministration to be inaugurated by Gen. larrison. (Macon Telegraph.) What the Republican policy towards the outh will be is, of course, very uncertain. t is possibic that it may be directed to ard dividing the white vote rather than award keeping the negro vote solid. The itter policy, pursued for twenty-five years .as deprived the party of all in power in be South. The solid negro vote has been source of weakness instead of* strength, ecause it forced all white men into oppo iion. (Memphis Avalanche.) What course is left open to the Demo atic party of the south? We must wait id see. If it is shown that the policy at hich we have hinted is to be pursued, e n- cessity for strict organization with be Democrats of the South becomes oft aramount importance. If for no other eason than that of self-protection, it is in' ie highest degree important that they bould stand together to a masa. (Brunswick, Ga., Ne ws.) The cotrntry has progressed too far from e era of the civil war to tialerate the pening of old wounds. la tspite of aIll e efforts of demagogues the several see ons of the country have been drawn c:loser gether by business inmerests, anid it is not t all likely that these interests will per it the South to suffer. (Jackson, Miss , clarion-T-edger.) In matters not who is the President of ae United States, a large majority of t he cople down this way, white and black, ave got to work just the same for their aily bread. (New Oreans Times-Democrat ) If the newly elected President goes wrong be people will very soon put him straight gain; if the Republican party attempts to lay any fantastic tricks or disturb the eace arid prosperity of the South and the ountry at large, it will he relegated by be people-its masters-to sudden and de rved obscurity.

An Anecdote Illustrating Mr. Lincoln's Great Tenderness of Heart. Will the world ever know. what depths of tenderness there were in the heart of Abraham Lincoln? An anec dote, which has never been published, brings out one more instance in which his sympathies, awakened by a. little child, nobly controlled his action. In one of the first skirmishes of the civil war, a young Union soldier was so se verely wounded in the leg that the limb had to be amputated. On leaving the hospital, the young soldier, by the aid of influential gentlemen, obtained a po sition as Government weigher of hay and grain. Not long after he had en tered upon his duties, his superior offi cer said to him: "See here, Mr. M--, this hay weighs so much on these scales; but to the Government it weighs so much more." "I do not understand, sir, that way of doing business. I can enter but one weight and that the correct one," an swered the young weigher. His superior walked away, muttering threats. The young man from that day suffered many petty persecutions for his honesty, and it was not long before he received notice that the government had no further need of his services. The summary dismissal made him so down-hearted that when he told the story to his family, he seemed a man without hope. "Father," replied the eldest daugh ter, a girl of thirteen, "cheer up! I am going to see President Lincoln. I know he will make it all right." Her father and mother tried to turn her purpose, saying that it would be useless to see the President, as he would not attend to such a petty matter as the dismissal of a weigher of grain. But her faith in the President's sense of justice was so strong that she went to the White House, and, after three days of patient waiting in the ante room, was admitted to Mr. Lincoln's presence. The hour for receiving visitors had nearly expired, and as she entered the room the President, throwing himself on a lounge, said, wearily: "Well, my little girl, what can I do for you?" She told her artless story. Mr. Lin coln listened attentively, and with a smile asked: "But how, my dear, do I know that your statement is true?" "Mr. President," answered the girl, with energy, "you must take my word for it." "I do," replied the President, rising and taking her hand. "Come with me to Mr, Stanton." "Stanton," said Mr. Lincoln, as they entered the office of the great War Sec retary, -"I wish you to hear this child's story." "I have no time," answeredthe over worked man. "But you must," replied Mr. Lincoln. "I have not a moment to spare to day, Mr. President." "Come again, my dear, to-morrow, and Mr. Stanton will hear you then," said the President, leading her away. The next day she was admitted at once to the President, who took her ver to Mr. Stanton's office. The See etary listened to the child's simple storyadwas so moved by it that he indignantly exclaimed, before she had inished: "The infernal rascal!" He ent to his desk and wrote an order for the immediate dismissal of thw dis onest official, and for the appoint ng the little girl's father to the vacant pace. Mr. Lincoln never forgot the child; e told her story to several Congress nen, and through their influence her wo brothers were enrolled among the ages of the House of Representatiies. -Youth's Companion. The African Elephant In Petermann's Mitteilwngen Herr J. fenges raises once more the question f the possibility of utilizilng the Afri an elephant. Herr Merages points out hat.there is strong evid.ence that the lephant was used in ancient times in Africa, and asserts that, no serious at empt has been made in -modern times o subdue it to the uses of 'humanity. He nntains that it is quite as docile as he Indian elephant, and -much strong ir; and that, if it could be really tamed ad trained to work,. it would be of im ense utility in the opening of Africa. But, unless some protection is accorded o the African elephant, Herr Menges elieves that by the end of next century t will be quite extinct.

GUESSES AT THE NEXT PRESIDENT'S POLICY. A Belief that he Will Recognize the Lib eral and Progres ive Men in his Appoint ments. (Frpm the New York Times.) INDLNAPOuLs, November' 22.-The eager discussion by the Southern news papers of what they call Gen. Harrison's Southern policy is giving an undue rela tive importance to that subject all over the country. This importance is mag nified here by the importunity with which Gen. Harrison is assailed, by letter and personal interview, to frame, define and declare a line of conduct which shall relieve the apprehensions with which the Southern people look forward to his administration of the G ,vernment. His mail is burdened with letter i of advice, appeal, deprecation and protest, Mud his daily callers include a Jargo Si uthern contingent, which comes on tthe same errand-to implore him not to disturb too violently the bocial status ihusily established in the South and coLii:ed under the last Ad ministration; to reorganize the domin ant classes is his appointments to office; not to subj-ec tue Southern people again to what they call negro and car pet-bag rule, nor to encourage any form of Federal interference in the local affairs of Southern States. Under these cir cumstances it is impossible that the Southern question should not fill a large space in local discussion of the policy of the new Administration, how ever reticent the President-elect and his intimates may desire to remain upon it. Those who undertake to speak for Gen. Harrison deprecate the assumption that he will have a Southern policy as distinct from his national policy of administra tion, declare that he will treat all sec tions alike and apply the same general principles of government to the South as to the North. It is pretty well under stood, however, that the President-elect has been coerced by the importunity of visitors and correspondents to give more consideration to this subject than to any other connected with his administration, and that he has arrived at quite definite conclusions as to his general course. APFOINTKENTs L THE SOUTH In the matter of appointments to office in the South, Gen. Harrison will prob ably look for guidance to the experience of his Republican predecessors in office, all of whom had to deal with the same problem of finding fit representatives of the Federal power and dignity and com petent executors of the Federal law law outside of the ranks of the most in telligent, richest, most influential, and socially dominant classes. Gen. Harrison will not imitate Gen. Grant by seducing prominent Ex-Confederates from their Democratic fealty by appointments to office; nor Hayes by attempting to raise the ghost of the old Whig party. The ele ment he will seek to recognize and fos ter in the South is that made up of the younger, more progressive, liberal, enterprising men of both parties, who have risen to prominence since the war and free from the narrow prejudices and radcal bitterness it engenaered; who are identified with the material growth of the country and interested in its in dustrial developmein t. So faras the party question is concerned, it is believed to be Gen. Harrison's judgment that President Arthur dealt with the problem of appointments to office ,in the South more sagaciously and successful y than any other BepublicanPresidenlt. Arthur, in his theory at least, made fitness the first and Rapablicaninmn the second ualifiation to office in the South. He appointed good Republicsns wherever he could find them, and good lemo crats where he couldn't. The conditions of the problem now existing make it a great deal simpler for Gen. Harnison than it was for Mr. Arthur. . The Demo crats are now in office, and the ci service law, which itis believed he means faithfully to obey in letter and spirit, is in full force. When Arthur had to fly in the face of party tradition by appoint ing Democrats to office in places where suitable Republicans could not be found, Harrison will only have to obey a law placed uponi the statute books by his own party by leaving Democrats in office. NO nBVIVAn OF NEGRO RULE. It is thought that the policy of the President-elect will be about as indi cated above; that he will make his Ad ministration in the South as thoroughly Republican as is consistent with efficien yand obedience to law, but that he ilneither be precijis~ate nor violently partisan in his appoimtments; that there will be few removals, except for cause, and that when vacancies occur they wiAl be filled with Republicans, where fit and competent Republicans can be found, but otherwise by reappomitmenlts, Tbe personal -character of the men upon whom Gen. Harrison will most rely to represent and sustain his Administration in theSouth hasbeen hinted at. There will be no revival of negro or carpet-bag rule. It is believed that few negroes will be appointed to local office; that the test of fitness and accept ability will be applied as rigidly to one race as to the other~. Few of the political carpet-baggers of toe old school are left in the South. The emigrants who have followed them-the cspitalists, mant facturers, minere, business men, who have identilied thems~elves with the ounty, its progrees and prosperity stand in the mnost direct hiue of favo r and recognition from the new Admiina~ tration. ?hey aind tihose of the younger class of native Sonttherners who have caught their spirit and share their sen timents and aspirations, the men of the new South as a whole, native and im ported, will be the hope and reliance of Gen. Harrison's Administration. rEGIaATION TOUCHING THE SOUTH. There is less definiteness in the local forecast of Gen. Harrison's policy in re lation to Republican legislation affecting he South, but it is not believed that it will be violent or aggressive. His speeches upon this subject have beera carefully scanned without finding in their udiious generalizations any war rant for the expectation that he will favor or urge upon Congress what is called a vigorous Southern palicy. He is known to feel strongly upon the in equality of actual representation in the Electoral College and House of Repre sentatives growing out of the suppres sion of suffrage in the South, and upon the practical nullification of the Federal laws for the collection of revenue in many Southern communities; but heois understood to believe that the perma-. nent and effective remedy for those eyils lies in the gradual growth of a more wholesome popular sentiment, inspiring a greater respect for public law and private rights, rather than inthe attempt to enforce distasteful Federal laws in the face of hostile Courts, juries and ublic opinion. It is known that Gen. -arri son will rely very hopefully upon the development of the industrial spirit in the South to foster and diffuse this more wholesome public sentiment; that he - has faith in the power of the increased mental energy and greater personal in dependence that characterize industrial, society to put an end to the evils grow ing out of the subjection of an ignorant majority to the arrogant minority in a primitively organized agricultural com munity. Accordingly, it is believed that the industrial development of the South will receive all possible encouragement and aid from his Administration, both in executive acts and through his infl-. ence upon legislation. THE PRESIDEN I'S MESSAGE. - t vigorous Document. Expected--Tarift Reform ideas to be Reiterated. (Special to the Baltimore Sun.) " WAsnnseuol, November. 23.--Speeu lations that Mr. Cleveland willinhias last annual message to Congress reiterate his tariff reform ideas, are quite safe. Mr. Cleveland is not the man to abandon any principle which he believes to be just and well founded because of tem porary obstacles. It eon be assumed confidently, therefore, that he wi- -take: back nothing he said in, his messageof December last. But unlike that ..aper, she forthcoming message. will treat 'of several other important topics in' 'addi= tion. It will be his aim to transnitflbf Congress as the last of his annual com munications the best document that has ever emanated from his pen. -Those who have watched his career and have 1o1-. 1owed the tenor of his state papersknosw that one of his peculiarities is ever ..to, depart from the beaten track andJ throw out suggestions that will set others to talking and thinking. This' has been the case with the large ma jority of his communications to Oon gress, even those on comparatively n consequential matters. What he .hass said and done during his whole ternm has been the cause of more eaomnentin the public press and on the fooriof Congress than the utterances of any man who has sat in the White ,House during this generation, It is the.belie: that in his message, after giving' wha$ ever prominence no may conside due to the subject of tariff reform, he' will, among other things, outline some bold and comprehensive ideas in reference to our foreign affairs, and the extension of our commercial and in some degree our political influence over the whole Ameri ican continent, North and South. The message will be no -note of .the dying man, but the ringing declarations 'of a self-reliant, undismayed, broad-minded man, with the utmost confidenosinhi self and in the future of his:country - The President, now that: he .has ha time to calmly survey the political field. feels every reason to be encouraged, .n4 to anticipate that his retiremen t from the White House will not esanl mean retirement from interest' or par ticipation in public affairs.' Hebas not attempted in the least to conceal' bis great disappointment at the reen*.ioi the election, for it is quite true- that he felt not only certain of New York and Indana, but had the strongest thopied of other latates in the Nortawest. Since the election ho has had asuacsfrors active and leading Demoerata- of :the Northwest that the recent election-r.r turns furnish no reason for despair,.bat that there is every evidence to'i colvm'e one of the tendency to growth of-Demo c~atic principles and of the prospect :of Democratic ascendaueyin the not remote future in a considerable portion of thai section. Itis jnst aswell tosay on that point that many leading Democrats. af the East did not in the last. campaignl share the enthusiam of their Western brothers as to party prospects in that section, and their enthusamn has not been stimulated since. However, as to this the future can only determine. -But now the President, not cast dowvn by his disappointment but ready to pick his flint andtry it again, is for the present actuated only by the ambition to -go out of office with the verdict of his country men that he has given them an honest, upright, prudent administration of pub li affairs. His purpose is to hand over to his successor the great trust which he has held for four years without stain, and with no harassing or embarrassing legacies of his creation. With reference to his message, it may also be added, as a possibility, that he may make some allusions of importance with reference to Cub.______ A Possible Rival to Ingalls.) Is the courtly and stately Thomas F. Bayard politicaaly dead and done for? Verily, so it would appear. And who is thea picturesque individual we observe dancing a cancan, as it were on the re mainb?

And now tuey say he may pine in the United States Senate. We boe so. The Senate lacks briakzess. Even Ingalls has lost the art of sparhlimg in the dull depths of the Vice Presiden'a chair.
