Nearly all of these "emigrants' are
Frenchmen who are not removing, but
simply coming over more profitable en-

IL HAVE SToPPED Your PAPER
The following anecdote, told bysa PhIla-
delphia paper, is decidedly suggestive:
Many years ago, Mr.. Swain, then editor
of the Public Ledger, was hailed at the
corner of Eighteenth and Chestnut
streets by a very excited individual, who
informed him in the most emphatic terms,
Il have stopped your paper, SIR, and pro-
ceeded to explain the why and wherefore
all the time gesticulating wildly. MY
gracious, sir, you don't say 20. Come
with me to tbs Office, andlet us see II we
cannot remedy the matter. 1t grieves me
that any one should stop my paper.
Down Chestnut direct to Third, the two
proceeded Arriving at the Office, Mr.
Swain said, "Why, my dear sir, everything
seems TO be going on rs usual; Thought
you had stopped my paper. Then ana
there the excited gentleman, whom the
long walk, by the way bad partly cooled,
said that he had stopped taking his one
copy Of the Ledger. Mr.. Swain was pro-

Of Illinois, tbeA made very puerile and

step backward of thousand years. The
reporters ior the New York papers called
Yates' speoch "unfelicitous and weak"
which I consider grossly exaggerated
praise. Weak Is too strong q word for a
long speech which was devoid of single
thought.
Mr.. Fessenden came after this startling
splurge and when he began with his cool,
keen and sarcastic words you could have
heard the tick of a clock over the hall.
There is no man who has the ear of the
Senate like Mr.. Fessenden. I think it is
generally conceded that he is the foremost
man in the Senate At least if he shares
the leadership with any one it is with
Charles Sumner. 1t did me good to hear
the acknowledgement on all sides, that the
ablest legislator in the Senate was from
Maine.
Mr.. Edmunds of Vermont also made an
argument worthy of all the golden opin-
ions which it won. He rode glorious
over his opponents without fear-a n
when any questioned his progress he n
horsed them at the first tilt. Garrett
Davis talked the next day two hours and
a half very logically-but no Senator gave
attention to him.
In the House Mr.. Speaker Blaine does
so well that no one doubts his ability to
follow the best parliamentary officer in
in the world, whose name is Colfax.
A weeks attendance at both Houses OF
Congress will show careful observer
some of the wisest and some of the weak
est men that were ever placed in exalted
stations. But citizen of Maine can
visit the United States Senate and be
proud of his representatives. Let us
hope that the time is far away when the
Dirigo shall be represented less ably.

Kind Words.

They never blister the tongue nor lips,
and We have never heard of any mental
trouble arising from this quarter. Though
they do not cost much, yet they accom-
plish much. They help ones good nature
and good will. Soft words soften our own
souls. Angry words are fuel to the flames
of wrath, and Ipake it blaze more fiercely
Kind words make other people good
uatured. Cold words freeze people, and
hot words scorch them, and bitter words
make them breeze, and wrathfu, words
make them wrathful. There is such a
rush of all other kinds of words in our
days, that it seems desirable to give kind
words Il chance aIaong them. There are
vain words, and idle words, and hasty
words, and spiteful words, and silly words,
and empty words, and boisterous words
and warlIke words. Kind words also pro-
dnce their own image in mems souls
And a beautiful image it is. They soothe
and quiet and comfort the nearer. They
shame him out of his sour, morose, I'M
kind feeling. We have not yet begun to
use kind words in such abundance as they
ought to be used. Pascal.
