How a Reb stood Bad Treat

During the war e was captur-
ed, fret by Captain Rum, and then,
as he lay alongside the road in state
of bllesful Inconsistencies, he was
picked up by Captain Yank. Now,
2 was over forty five years OF
age, didn't belong to the army, and
was mad as hornet at being dis
turbed in his slumber, and refused
decidedly to get into one of the wag-
ons" rr .|s
"Pitch him in, boys" said the Of

AnecdOtc of Webster!

The following anecdote is taken
from Frazer's London) Magazine oi
September:
At the political dinners, of which
Webster was rather fond, he almost
invariably became tipsy before his
speech time arrived, and some of his
most admired after dinner speeches
were the composition of friendly re-
porters. On one occasion lie had to
be prompted by a friend, who sat
just behind him, and gave him sue.
cessively phrases and topics. The
spe, ch proceeded somewhat after
this fashion: Prompter-''Tariff. y
Webster--"The tariff, gentlemen, is
a subject, requiring the profound at.
tention of the statesman. Ameri
can industry, gentlemen, must be-
mods little Prompter-"Nation
al Debt" Webster-"And, gentle
men, there's the national debit
should be paid [ loud cheers, which
rouse the speaker; yes, gentlemen
it should he paid, che ers, and id
it it shan't he taking out his pock
et-book I'll pay it myself. How
much is it2" This last question was
asked Of gentleman near him witt
drunken seriousness, and, coupled
with the recollection of the we'll
known impecuniosity of Webster's
pocket book, excited roars OF laugh
ter, amidst which the orator sank in
TO his seat and was soon asleep.

The Providence r. 1. Press re-
lates the following;
Friday evening two colored boys
were brought to the station house
from the "Hollow," for breaking win.
dows by throwing stones, and locked
up. About 10 O'Clock Sergeant Per.
ry being at the Office, heard some one
come in, and looking up, saw col
ored boy not much higher than a
chair seat, standing in front of the
desk, hat in hand, uncovered in def.
erence to authority. "Well, my boy,
what's wantingP" asked the Sergeant
"Are there two boys IN here for
breaking windows?" asked the little
fellow. Receiving an affirmative an
swer, he then said: "Well, Mr..
Perry, / broke the windows, and
have come down TO be lock up"
On inquiring into the matter further
the boy said his mother had found
out what he had been doing, and had
told him to come down, own l., and
be locked up. AMI sure enough, he
bravely did it. But he was sent
home and told to go to sleep, and
when wanted he would be called for

A cogent argument not to be weary
in well doing is, that Christ was not
weary. What if lie had been weary?
What if in His rugged, thorny path,
and, bearing the ponderous load Of a
worlds atonement, He had omitted
even one duty, or shrunk from even
one trial? Heaven, earth aud hell
would have been convulsed, and our
hopes buried beyond resurrection
But no! He endured to the end, and
finished the work which was given
Him to do; and while thereby He
made possible our salvation, "lle
lett us an example that we should
follow His steps"

have done a more legitimate business have
too, been compelled TO suffer- but fewer esta-
blshments of this kind have found ID necessary
to close their doors on the present occasion
than is usual in such convulsions in trade.
The storm has now subsided. AS it was en-
tiIely engendered by an unwise speculation that
was confined within the limits of the British
Isles-though doubtless precipitated by foreign
ement-il is more than likely that its disastrous
effects will only be felt within the same boUnda-
ries. The recent panic In London win obviously

Treaties and Congresses in Europe.


From The Times.
The statement by the Emperor Napoleon that
he detested the treaty Of 1915, need scarcely
have aroused any new suspicious of his sincerity
unop the subject of French ACKNOWLEDGMENT.
It's provisions, while they we're intended to
assert the principle OF Legitimacy among Euro
pean sovereiehs, were expressly aimed at the
extil ction of the Bonaparte family as
ruling power. The restoration to their original
status of provinces conquered by Napoleon, and
the adjustment OF the map of Europe so as to
secure a quasi balance of power, were in one
sense but Incidents of the Vienna Congress. The
powers represented at that Congress we're in.
duced TO act together from a common danger,
and a common desire for safeguards
in the future. Since the date of the treaty it
has been inirneed so often, that II is now
practically a dead letter. The distribution of
territory which it effected has been continually
disturbed, and the position of Napoleon III as
Emperor of the French is not materially shaken
by the d,Ctur1 of the contracting powers that no
Bonaparte should ever occupy the throne OF
France. But the spirit OF the Vienna Congress
survives. Unrepeaed, the letter OF the treaty
remains in force The question OF legitimacy,
1ald aside in view OF the fact OF the establish
ment oil new empire, might at any luture time
be revived in favor OF any interest which 1t
might seem desirable to the great powers to up
hold. The monarch who by them was reseate6,
was representative of that legitimacy, and in
7he view of number of Frenchmen of military
antecedents and training, the family OF the
original Corsican still possess a claim to be his
successor.
Now, the principle of legitimacy, as applied in
European mOnarchical arrangements, is one
which the course OF modern events has partially
thrust into desuetude, o., at all events, the right
OF people to elect their own rulers has become
more and more recognized. The acQuiescence
OF the allies of France in her form oil government
as developed under the regime Of Louis Napo-
leon, was not only matter of necessity, but
was ultimately supported by real convictions of
its Justice. That the Emperor, standing before
the world as a powerful but still elected mo-
march, should "detest" principle which ignores
his dynasty is not surprising. But what has this
TO do with the German question, or any possible
interference of France therein? ? 1t seems to us
that the two subjects the Emperor's opinion of
the Congress of 1915, and the present attitude of
Austria, Prussia, and Italy, are widely different
ones. He never did or could feel other than de-
testaton of that treaty, and his scorn of the dy-
nasic settlement of 1915 cannot but occasion
very considerable uneasiness.

ment of the dispute as to whether the President
or Congress is responsible From neither the
President nor Congress. can they obtain any
eat siactory response Thus far the President
has the best of the argument but the worst of
the quarrel. He talks as though he we're right;
but the radicals act as though they we're right.
He insists that Southern representatives ought
t. be admitted to Congress; but the radicals keep
them out. He insists that the South ought TO bo
governed like the rest OF the nation; but the
radicals keep. the South unoer the do
miniOn of the bayOnet and the Freed
mems Bureau. He issues orders, and by
command of the radicals his own Cabinet
officers disregard these orders. In the mean
time here we are with half country, heavy
taxes, deprecated currency and the extrem-
lists of both parties only restrained from medtat-
ing revolutionary proceedings by the certainty
that General Grant, who is acceptable to all par
ties, will be our next President But the next
Presidency is still long way of, ard this quar-
rel cannot continue until then without fearfullV
iulurng the country. When Congressman Is
permitted to accuse the President of treason, the
Secretaries Of malfeasance in office, and honor
able Senators of apostacy, without being
once called to order for his violations
OF parliamentary rules, and without a
vote of censure being passed upon him, the
most indifferent must be 1oused to an appre-
citation of the dangers of the situation. Such
outbreaks are perilous to the public peace, fatal
TO the reputation of the United States, and indica-
tive OF an animosity that cannot be too promptly
checked The remedy which Mr.. Stevens him
sell proposes ia severe one; but it is much
better than doing nothing II the President
will take no decided step, If he will not change
his Cabinet and call our leading generals and
admirals into his councils, it remains for the
radicals to force matters to an ssue just as they
have always taken the initiative. We know
precisely how the scheme of Mr. Stevens will
end; We know that the President will be sus-
tanned both by Congress and the people. And
il is for this very reason, and because we hope
that this new attack will cause the President to
act, and thus expose the weakness and punish
the perfdy of these malcontents, that we eagerly
second the proposal OF Mr.. Stevens, and pray
that he may be young enough "withn week"
to max good his threats and boasts.
