"The "Washerwoman's Song.1 BY ECOENE WAHE, OF FT. SCOIT. In a very bumble cot, In a rather quiet spot, In the suds and the soap Worked aVoman full of hope ; Working, singing, all alone, In a sort of undertone, " With a Savior for a friend, lie will keep me to the end." Sometimes happening along I had heard the semi-song," And I often used to smile. More in sympathy than guile, But I never said a word In regard to what I heard ; As she sung about her friend AVho would keep her to the end. Not In sorrow nor In glee Working all day long was she. As her children three or four, Played aroundher on the floor; But In monotones the song She was humming all day' long ; " With a Savior for a friend, Ue will keep me to the end." It's a song I do not sing; For I scarce believe a thing Of the stories that are told Of the miracles of old ; But I know that her belief Is the anodyne of grief; And will always be a friend That will keep her to the end. Just a trifle lonesome she, Just as poor as poor could be, ' But ncr spirits always rose, Like the bubbles In the clothes, And though widowed and alone Cheered her with the monotone, Of a Savior and a friend, AVho would keep her to the end. I have seen her rub and scrub, On the washboard in the tub, While the baby sopped In sud3, Rolled and tumbled In the dud3, Or was paddling In the pools ; With old scissors stuck In spools, She still humming of her friend, Who would keep her to the end. Human hopes and human creed3 Have their root Inhuman needs. And I would not wish to strip From that washerwoman's lip Any song that she can sing, Any hope that songs can bring, For the woman has a friend Who wUl keep her to the end. Eepnblican Depression. Sunday's Xew York Herald contained the following editorial: "At last there is a promise of a democratic party. Mr. Carlisle was last night chosen speaker by the democratic caucus at "Washing ton. That means a change, a great and beneficent change in democratic poli tics. It means that the old fogies of the party, the men afraid of their prin ciples, have lost their hold, and the young men of the party, the men to whom politics mean something more than mere office getting, have come to the front. If the democratic leaders have energy and intelligence the action of last evening means a sweeping-democratic victory next year. For the first time in many years there is before the party; a fair prospect of such .popular f aver;ae they liave long been see&mgi iaaay devious and fake roads. A'Afckw taey are an uw.ogafc u."

A Kansas City Times reporter met Representative Burton one day las week, and at once proceeded to interview him. The conversation is given below, and, with the exception of that 1,000 majori ty, Mr. Burton seems to have a tolera bly fair idea of the condition of Kansas politics: Mr. J. It. Burton, of Abilene, repre sentative from Dickinson county in the Kansas legislature, passed through the city last evening on his way to Atclii son. Mr. Burton was full of enthus iasm over the growth of Abilene, the prospects of the town being more prom ising that at any previous point in its history. "Who will carry Dickinson county for governor at the next election V" a Times reporter asked in the course of a desultory conversation with Mr. Burton. "Governor Glick, I'm afraid. Dick inson county can roll up 1,000 republi can majority, but Glick can carry the county against many of the men who are now being mentioned in connection with the republican nomination." "Do you think that there is any show for St. John?" "If the republicans put him at the head of the ticket Glick will snow him under to the tune of 50,000 votes." "Can any prohibitionist be elected in Kansas?" "I do not believe that any out and out prohibitionist can carry Kansas." "Who is likely to receive the republi can nominations" "Well, there is considerable talk of nominating John A. Martin, who, if nominated, will be beaten by Governor Glick. Por my part, I do not consider it good republican policy to nominate any of the old line politicians. They have no strength with the people. Put at the head of the ticket such a man as Lucian Baker, of Leavenworth, or Eu gene Ware of Fort Scott, and it is prob able that Kausas may be reclaimed from the democrats. On the other hand, if the republicans persist in pursuing the prohibition will-o'-the-wisp they can ex pect nothing save a very bad black eye at the next state election." Sample Prohibition. Buffalo Express. InlSSO General Kilpatrick was one of the Bepublican stumpers in Maine. Senator Blaine was chairman of the State convention. One day, several stumpers met at Mr. Blaine's house in Augusta, to get new orders, and take a fresh start. Blaine said to Kilpatrick, "I want you to go to Danforth. You know we have a prohibitory law in Maine, and you have probably found out that it isn't always observed. But everybody admits that in Danforth it is strictly lived up to. Opinion is all one way there and I want you to mention temperance in your speech." "All right," said the general, and off he start ed. Arrived at Danforth, a committee man met him, and the first thing he said was, "General, this is a strictly prohibition town, and we would like to have you say something about temper ance in your speech. But as you are an old army man, and may feel the want . of a little stimulous, I have brought along this" and he produced, bottle Arriving at the hotel, the landlsteGk the general to one side and aa'.''ToL xnow we are sncrer&os MHMMMCV, ity.JWffle h' STORE YOUTHS OVERCOATS.

A colored boy showed the gentleman to his room, and in its privacy said, "You know, boss, we don't have anything to drink here, but if you want anything I can get it fur ye, boss." Kilpatrick had several more similar adventures be fore he got out of Danforth, and de clared that in that strictest of all pro hibition towns, he got more invitations to drink than in any other town he vis ited during the campaign. We feel quite sure that Kilpatrick went to his grave believing that prohibition does not prohibit. The Truth Will Out, The Danville, "Virginia, riot lias been a sweet morsel to the republican press, but the truth of the matter is coming to the front. The iNew York Times, a republican journal of some hanor, says in a late issue: "Further investigation of the Danville affair by our correspon dent fails to justify the construction put upon it by those anxioufj to give it a po litical purpose. It war, undoubtedly an incident of the excitement wrought up in a contest in wliich an effort was made to draw the color line. The feel ing between whites and blrvcks was such that a street row was liable to be precipitated at any moment, and it came as the result of a personal alter cation with which politics had nothing directly to do,' bub race feeling much." Copiah county is not yet accounted for, but when the .cacts are known will doubtless go like the Danville riot. Evacuation Day a Great Day for Ire land. 2T. Y. Sun: After John Kelly and his Tammany braves fell out of the line on Evacuation Day, their place was homesteaded by a whitehaired Irislim an from the seventh ward. He was chl in the costume which he wore when h 3 first landed on our shore. Antique bro gans covered his feet, and well-trod woolen stockings fitted the calves of his legs. Corduroy Knickerbockers with four buttons on the knee and a green satin waistcoat were partly concealed by an uncombed freize coat with more tail than waist. The coat itself was mostly liidden by a genuine Donegal ulster. A clay dudhean reposed under the band of his Henry Gratton Hat,and a black thorn shillelah nestled under his arm. With his flowing locks, he looked like a well-to-do peasant fresh from the Galtee Mountains. His friends said that he was Bobert White, the well known editor of the Sunday Democrat. He seemed to be about 40 years old when he fell into line at Fourteenth st. He looked 50 years old at Houston St., and at least 70 years old from the re viewing stand at Bowling Green. The shrill notes of quails were heard as he passed the City Hall Park. Mr. White was the only member of the Tammany Society who marched to the Battery. He was warmly greeted by Gen. Ben. Butler, and sailed toward Wall street linked arm-in-arm with Harry Howard.

General Underwood, manager of, the Cincinnati Ncvcs-Journal, who has been several days working for Carlisle, had a long interview Sunday with that gentleman, who is his personal friend and neighbor. Carlisle very briefly ex pressed his views as to the policy that should be pursued by the majority. He said he recognized the fact that It Was the principle which he was the repre sentative of that had elected him, and it was something to be thankful for. The democratic party at last realized the principle affecting the interests of the great majority of the people wliich was vastly more important to the party and country than the success of any man. He interpreted his election td mean from this time forth the demo cratic party was to go to the people" with an aggressive and definite policy and adhere to it because it was right and deserved to be. He said the com mittees would be organized with a view solely to- the fitness of the members for the various subjects of legislation, which command the attention of congresa and without undue regard to-their relation to him in tho recent contest. A SKETCH. John G. Carlisle was born in Camp bell (now Kenton) county, Ky., Septem ber 5, 1835. He resides at Covington, in the same state.
