The saddest thing of all, is, premature
joy. An Ohio politician who had run
for office, and was sure he had been
elected, after "setting up" the drinks
for three days, learned that he was
beaten by a majority of three.
The Arkansas house of representatives
lias passed a senate memorial to Congress
asking that the cotton-tax be refunded.
The gap of twenty-four miles from

"Delegates to the Galveston nominating
convention will be passed over the Cen-
tral railroad for one fare for the round

The following circular has been hand-
ed us for publication. Our Democratic
friends will find it instructive as regards
the manner of arranging for the differ-
ent nominating conventions:
Bastcot, Nov. 23, 1875.
"In iwi^vvcr to letters received, by every
mail, wml i'i'Oni pari? of the State,
touching the calling of conventions for
nominating senators and district judges,
I haw to advise each county iv elect its
delegates, for such purpose, as soon as
may be practicable—so as to bo in yeadi-
ness to respond to the call of the member
of the State-llxecutivcCommittee for the
district in which it may be comprised.
The reapportionment of the State by
the Constitutional Convention will often
throw two or more members of the Exe-
cutive Committee, as at present constitu-
ted, nto the same district.
Wherever this occurs it M ill be proper
for such members to act in conjunction
Wherever there is a vacancy, if
fact is made known to me, I will
mediately appoint some one to act until 1
the State Convention provides another ;}
committee.
As soon as tire-status of the different
■ senatorial and judicial districts is per-
ml&neHtly 'established by the Consttu-
timiiiVi'Convention, information

WUAT AN KNGLISII POET AND STATESMAN
THINKS OF AMERICA AND Will lUTURE.
Ths speoch made by Lord Houghton, in
response to the toast, of hia health at the
reception at the Lotos Club on Saturday
niglit, is of much interest on account of
tho manner m which it deals with tho re-
lations between England and America.
After the applause whioh greeted his ap-
pearance had subsided, Lord Houghton
said that he felt deeply gratified lor the
enthusiasm with which his name bad heeu
received and for this compliment which
had beeH offered him, in addition to the
many he had already received in this
country. He was not unaware of the spe-
cial value of the present compliment. He
knew that here had been received Mr.
Fronde, the most original of English his-
torians, who had glanced round that room
with brilliant eye, like that of a frightened
horse, and who bad for the last two .yoars
been employed in the important work of
creating a new confederacy of British col-
onies. Here, too, Canon Kingsley hid
thrilled them with an urgent eloquence
like a voice of departing genius; and
her", too, had been received the promise
of future English statesmanship in young
Lord Rosebery. He felt himself, therefore,
under the obligation of answering as
clearly and powerfully us he could a ques-
tion not of rare occurrence which ho was
conscious every one of his hoarcrs was
putting to him in his heart — "What, do
you think of our country As to another
not. infrequently form of interrogation,
"Do yon admire our constitution?" ho
would state with the utmost candor and
the most careful consideration that he
must ask their leave—to reserve his opin-
ion. On the other question he had no
difiiculty. America was eminent for the
beauty of her women. At this time of life
he was no fair witness on that subject,
but he would oiler the more valuable tes-
timony of hii son, a young man of some
talent and perception, of seventeen years
of age, who had gone homa with thin ex-
pression on his lips and this impression on
his heart. In this sense, tberefo[e, he hil-
ly admired the yonth of America, but he
was not prepared to impersonate the
country herself exactly in that aspect.
Americans were very fond of appealing to
their youth. When anything went wrong
or seemed incomplete, or disappointing,
they said, "You should remember how
young we are." Now, he was not prepar-
ed entirely to admit that pretention. In
all that constitutes a nation, in the ag-
gregation of thought, iu the expansion of
ideas, Amorica had all the experience of
the Europe from which she came, added
to the interest and vivacity which she had
gained fr»m her transportation to a novel
hemisphere. She hail, indeed, that charm
of middle life and that full, luscious beau-
ty and mature intelligence which a great
French novelist had impersonated iu "La
Femuie de Quaranto An-," Balzac hi lit
self may have taken his notion from the1
old anecdote of tv Frenchman giving to'
his sou two counsels on his entry iuto the
world—"Listen to the old men and make
love to tho women of forty."
This is the advise he would not repeat.
Love your America with all the devotion
sho deserves, and do not disregard tho
words and thoughts of veteran Europe.
He, however, was not about to abnse the
privilege eiti er of his age or of his pre
Bent position. But, as allusion had been
made to him both as a poet and politician,
it might uot be unbecoming for him to say
that he had done his best to reconoil e
whatever imaginative faculties he may
have possessed to the practical business
of the world ami its political action. He
had been for twenty live years a member
of the liouse of Commons, anil afterwards
of the ntlier branch of the Legislature,
and lie believed that, taken as a whole, no
man's life suffered from a mixture of the
real and the idea. He knew he was ad-
dressing the Lotos Club, a society whose
fundamental principle (if words meant
anything} had been expressed in the
melodious verses of 0110 of the latest and
not least of American poets, Joaquin
Miller
It seems to me that, mother Earth
Ii weary from eternal toil
And bringing forth by fretted soil
In all the agonies of birth.
Sit down! sit down! So it were best
That we should rest, that we should
rest.

But somehow or other be hardly
thought that hie present audience was
quite so purely contemplative; quite so
entirely free from all worldly Interests
and secular motives as their nomencla-
ture would imply. And they were right.
If they lived exclusively in » sphere of lit-
erature and art they would be Irving sole-
ly fotthemselves; but now they are mix-
ing iuoaily life with other raen, taking,
upon themselves high responsibilities and
leaving with their thoughts and objects
tho hard and heavy destiny of the com -
mon multitude of mankind. They were
truth an aristocracy quite as real as,
and iu their uStimate action more power
Jul than, the Senators of Venice, tho bar-
ons of England or the grandees of Spain.
It was their i»wsioti lo load on this mag-
nificent country in the van of civilization

ence to what would otherwise have been
a dieting development of material force,

tion to poverty, and to stitle the jealous
ins of the elder world at any possible ex-
pansion of tho dominion of the now by j
making it coincident with the prngres- !
sive development of man.
