It's too stormy a night for Your teacher
to come out lam very sure she viii not

.0h. yes she will know she will
come, replied the boy. And thus he
answered, every time his mother urg-
ed him TO go to bed.
Time had stolen on until near ten
o'clock. The wind roared without.
and the snow rushed against the win
dows. The widow looked up from her
work, and was about repeating her
request that Charles would 90 TO bed.
when she observed that he had fallen
asleep in his chair. Her heart was
touched as she looked at the uncon-
scious boy, and thought of the share
in her troubles he had voluntarily as
sumcd. While her eyes still rested
upon him, there came q low rap at the
door. On opening it, young aud slcn-
der girl STEPPED in few PAGES, saying
as she did so:
4 promised your little boy that
would call and see YOU tonight. /
thoughtto have been here earlier, but
l couldn't get round sooLcr. Heaven
/ has sent you, through me, enough mo-
/ ncy 10 pay your rent tomorrow
/ Here ii is She then handed the
widow small package of money. Ii
! comes from those who have hearts to
! feel for Others
Then partly turning away, and be-
fore the woman had time to say any
thing, she added,
1t is too late and | must hurry
home. Mother Will be uneasy at my
staying SO long away. Good night.
Charles, / see, has fallen asleep, but
! lie will know | have been here. Good
night!'
And ere the widow could utter 4
word IN return, she was away.
That night MIR. Benedict Percival
| lay awake for hours, unable to sleep
for thinking of the error he had doubt
less committed, in giving $4,000 for
| the benefit of those who had suffered
| by The fire, when one thousand would
have told quite as we'll upon the pub
! lic.-Moth and rust were already be-
ginning to corrupt the treasure he had
/ laid UP on the earth.
The head Of the young teacher had
not pressed lis pillow long, before all
her senses We're locked in gentle sluni-
! Der. Sweet dreams accompanied her
through the night, and when the sun
smiled in at the window in the morn
ing, she blessed the day and was hap
py.-She had laid up a treasure IN

good deal of disreputabe complaint ana omnous fore
boding is skept before the people, by portion OF the
press relative to the expenses OF the war as one o. the
instrmenaites by which to excite popular aversion TO
H. even i'm the midst of hostes. And this comes in
many cases from the very papers whch are IN fearful
apprehension lest Gen Taylor ana Ms present loree

if ii fail thus TO increase the expenses maedchons

such anti national demonstrations these, come from
what quarter they may. We have no fear whatever
that they be of sufficient extent and influence TO &C
compsh the effect which we might otherwise naturally
suppose them calculated to produce and we feel conn.

TO murmur and chdishly to whmper over the expense
at the expiration of the first SIX months hosliues is
neither the best policy to practice IN sight OF the enemy
nor the most credabe demeanor IN our own eyes And
perhaps il is not too much to affirm, that had the press
and people of the United States presented to the enemy
an unbroken front, spirit OF unanniy IN the affair,
corresponding with that which preyas.In Mexico the
war would have been terminated, half the cost, and in
perhaps half the time that has already expired 1t Is
humiating fact that the Mexican press is administering
hope amid the disconsolatlOns OF the army and furnish
ing encouragement to the retreatng troops and ANNA

from the abuse of the reference to the

The inference is natural, though, we believe, an ero-
one; for satisfied that the popular feeling IS
in the main unaffected by the most viruent and
ceaseess aspersons of the governments and that Mexico
has nothing whatever to hope from the apathy or oppo
stion of any considerable portion OF the people OF the
United States The government will be expected by
every good citizen carry the war, in view Of all the
facts which may possess and according to the plans
and system il may have devised with all possible vgor
and without reference to any necessary expense.

WASHINGTON, Dec. "a, 1916.
MEssRs EDIToRs: You will have noticed, in the Sem
ate proceedings of yesterday, the confirmation of the
nomination of the Hon. Nathan Clifford, of State,
attorney general of the United States When the President
course, referred to the Committee the Judiciary. AS
that committee did not have meeting until yesterday,
the case of Mr. Clifford not taken up before that
time. 1t them however, by the unanimous consent
of the committee acted upon, and Immediately reported to
the Senate Tor confirmation. After tansactng the
rent business of the morning. that body on motion OF
Col Ashley chairman of the Judiciary Committee, went
into executive session, and confirmed the nomination
lcittOH dissenting U0ce.
This result will be exceedingly gratifying not only to the
numerous friends of Mr. c. in our State but to the pub
lie generally He has been long known and appreciated
in Maine of most distinguished juristsa gen.
tleman OF high order of alents-o nhexble integrity,
and indomitable industry.
On Tuesday the day before his confirmation he made his
debut the Supreme Court of the United States, inn
poran case involving important principles OF International
and common law. The case was ''the United States,
plaintiffs in error, the Bank of the United States"
1t was generally known to senators that it TO
be opened at that time by the new attorney general
and may well be supposed therefore, that many OF them
would be present to witness his first effort Such
the and if any OF them had before entertained any
doubts TO his high qualifications for the office, they
were, venture to say, entirely removed The cause
had been ably argued in the circuit court before Judge
Mclean who had given opinion in favor of the
bank, to which writ of error had been brought to the
supreme court The opening of Mr. Clifford occupied
nearly three hours and most lucid, learned, and
as thought, conclusive argument, embracing, OF
the court told me, many strong and several original
views of the case There was no attempt at display,
nor the slightest repetition; but continued and well
connected chain of argument, which, if | am not mis-
TAKEN it will puzzle the learning and ingenuity of Mr.
Sargent to break Messrs Cadwallader and Sargent, of
Philadelphia gentlemen of great emnence Tor the
bank is generally believed that the opinion of Judge
Mclean will be reversed
In regard to this effort of Mr. c., have heard but one
opinon that he fully sustained his high reputation, and
evnced his ability to discharge the high functions of his
office with honor himself and credit to State Ii

From the Philadelphia Pennsylvania
To The editors Of the Peansyuanian;

WASHINGTON, Dec 80, 1916.
The annual report OF the Adutant General of the army
has just been published, 1--we have gwen II at lengthJ
and able and satisfactory expose the present
diton OF the military service
Brig. Gen Roger Jones' the present Adutant General,
has occupied that position for more than tipenfy
years, having been first appointed in March, 1925.
The arduous and responsible character of the duties
nected with the Office can only be appreciated by those
acquainted with the whole organization OF the army,
which believe, its origin to MIR. Calhoun, when
that eminent at the head OF the War Depart
ment But multifarious and important as these duties
known be- they well discharged by the present
incumbent 1t would be difficult to set proper value
upon the benefits he has conferred upon the military ser
vice. to say to what extent the army IS indebted 70 ms
abors for its present efficiency and high state OF discp-
line He is devoted to his public and professional duties
and Jealous in furtherng the interests OF hs breth
rem i'll arms, and promoting the public good General
Jones served with high reputation during the last war
He breveed for distinguished services III the con-
fic at Chippewa and again for distinguished gallantry
and good conduct In the sorle IRON Fort ErleTwas IN
the battles of Chippewa Niagara, Erie and sore from
Fort Erie and honoraby noted in the official reports OF
those battles He is, too, generous as he rs bravo
gentleman as well as chivalrous and accomplished Off
GER His brother Commodore T. APP Caesby Jones' is IA
vorably remembered for his herosn on Lake Borgne,
where, with gun-boats % guns, and 1S2 men, he sus-
tanned desperate conflict OF several hours duration
against enemys force consisting of As launches and
barges mounting AZ guns and manned with 200 9TH
and men; defence which, in the language OF Com
naval glory and of which Cooper remarks, it is
thought in the service to be as much credit to an ocer to
have been present at the defeat of Lake Borgne, to
have been present at signal victory 1t will also be
recolected that the gallant commodore, when in the
command of naval forces in the Pacific years
since noby gave his country the benefit of doubt and
took possession of Monterey.
The militia force of Pennsylvania may be estimated al
00OOtotal commissioned officers, musicians,
tcers, and prvates; and is composed of about 5000
cavalry, 5000 artillery, 1000 infantry, 10000 rfemen
and 23l 900 militia proper There in the State up
wards of five hundred roineer companies, and fifteen
hundred militia companies This force is divided into
divisions, SO brgades TIA regiments, and 1893 baaons
The official report of General Bowman may indeed make
| the force larger than is here reported.
The enrolled militia of the United Staes--the national
guard of the republc-may be safely estimated at 2,O0o
900, and composed of 100000 infantry &c. 200 cava
ry $4,000 artillery, and $4,000 remen All these figures
are rather under than over the mark.
