All fatigue is forgotten. Torches are replenished and on we rush to the spot indicated. Ike is right. A rather slender tree hangs over the swamp. On one of the limbs we see something grim and silent, ill eyes shining like coals of fire. Hut few words are spoken. Bell is leaping against the trnnk, Shep sits on the ground, steady, motionless, watching the enemy above. “Ike, climb the treefmd shake the coon off.’’ It fa the-OTersecr who speaks. The grinning Ike scrambles up the tree and crawls out upon a limb under the one on which the coon is perched. Ho is nearly to where he can reach this limb when snap, the limb on which he is breaks and down he goes into the swamp. Both dogs are ou him in a minute and roll him over in the water. •‘Tu’n me loose, I tells yer; tu’n me loose. Can’t yer tell a nigger from er coon?

Unquestionably tbeskSre and charitable nature of the man, but it ie tbe leader rather than the friend whom most of those who followed and trusted him In life will mourn to-day. The politi ck followers of Mr. Kelly belong, for the most part, to a class whose emotions arc easily stirred and in whom die sentiment of loyalty to a leader approaches much more nearly coniines of personal affection than is the case with the members of cooler blooded and less enthusiastic races. A life of prolonged and manifold activities had made John Kelly not only prominent as the skilled .leader of a powerful faction of the local Democracy, but it had also won for him the Iwundless confidence of something like a third of the legal voters of this gnat city. To these voters, not the most dis criminating part of the electorate, but un deniably a very active pert, Mr. Kelly was tbe visible embodiment of every politi cal measure and every political principle. He was to them not merely Tammany Hal) and sound Democracy, Imt the Constitution and tbe country. Ho long as he retained his health and his part In politics John r t I immediate party, and the mem of that |>arty will lament his death as a kingdom mourns its sovereign or a republic- its founder. The publics tribute to the memory of John Kelly will gain much in sincerity and in impressiveness from the public’s feeling Hint he was an honest man. Per sonal honesty counts for much in life, even in this city, where the dishonesty of public men is proverbial, but in death it counts for every thing, since it has not yet become customary with respectable persons to join in reverent ceremonies over dishonored dust. And the consoling refiection that in all the struggles and the tumults of his life, in all the offices be held, and in hts private relations Mr. Kelly’s personal char acter commanded the respect of his bitter est (K)liti. al enemies will serve as the com fort and solace of his near and intimate friends a nid the criticisms which it U in evitable and not to be regretted that his public eertter and services should undergo. N. Y. lime*. log day THB HAKDHHIPM OF UABOKKrfM. Dr. Tatums* l>i*rour«** on the General Wlckeduee* of Employer*. In s recent sermon, Dr. Talmage, in hU usual dramatic and eloquent fash ion, pictured “The Genuine Hardships of Working Classes.” It was the (bird of his series of lectures on the labor question. A large audience more than took np the seating capacity of the Tabernacle, ilia discourse treated of tbe darker aide of tbe life of the wage workers, especially the working girls. “In the oldeu time,” said Mr. Tal- mage, “the Children of Israel were _ ’• chosen people, but to-day tbe American people occupied that proud lion, Fow persons realize the and burdens of anybody but themselves. It is idle to say that be cause some of the false friends of labor did unlawful things the cry for reform poUtlve If IS all hullabaloo. The great question of the day is the labor problem, and it most be solved in a short time. Who will deny that the largest employing firm to day is Grip, Gouge, Grindem AUa” Here tbe speaker read extracts from a Into report, in which afacnorygirl was quoted as testifying before a labor commission that she was only able to 1 four months’ work in the year, and en sh9 could scarcely earn $3 per week. He also read the list of fines to which the employes of a large cot on milt were subjected. It cofttalned such Ik ms as twenty-five ceuts fine for washing one’s bands. For eating a piece' of bread at the looms another girl was docked a dollar. A poor linnet* who told a fellow employ^ at her mother was about to die bad to pay tweuty^flve cents fine. Mr. falmagc thought that there was no Ult reason why women, es|>ecially wcartiy borne* those r mployed in the government r Qi Dio cfflccs in Washington and Hi the public schools, should .do the same work as the male employes and gejt only half as much pay. Ho said that there were 65,000 sewing girls in New York aud Brooklyn who did not get half enough to food and clothe themselves, while their employers u’ore rolling in wealth. Some of them mads shirts for six cents a dozen and died of slew pt&fva tiou.

The Troublesome ReSskhw. The commandant of Fort Bliss, near El Paso. Texaa, has received orders from Gen. Mites to immediately move his troops to some point in Aflzona to aid in tbe prose cution of the w ar against the Apaches. It is undcretood that these troops will strike directly for the Gila River country in hopes of intercepting the baud of cutthroats. All is bustle and excitement at the fort. Troops are licteg lightly equipped for long marches and large quantities of (woviaions and med icines are l«iug loaded, which seems to in dicate that Gen, Miles propose* to rulimin out all summer if necessary. The vigorous action of tins officer since his assumption of tbe command of this department causes general sn isfaction, and has clone more than any other one thing to quiet the peo ple, restore confidence in the Government, and prevent 4 general uprising of the border men.
