all poured in upon you by people who
have no thought of deal and once more
come in the doubts upon that eye, or that
tendon, or that frog Now, with full
conviction of your beasts soundness, and
a thorough belief in your critics igno-
rance, these suspicious are so many insults
to your understanding, and wounds to
your pride. Had there been no questions
of sale, you would have resented those i'm
pertinences as personal injuries. The con-
verse of Love me, love my dog is, Abuse
my horse, abuse me-
"Last of all comes the fellow who walks
around your beast with his eyes ranging
from the pastefn Joint to the knee, never
higher, and, with jerk of the head to
the groom, says, Take him in That
wretch could fire every barrel of my re-
volver at.
although you are well aware that the
animus of these disparagements is to
knock something off the price; that in
every censure of your beasts ears or
name, or tail, there Is the question of a
ten-pound note, the insolence is not dimish-
ed by that consciousness. You arrive at
last at the fact, that where money comes in
courtesy goes out, and that he who has
to dispose of anything, enters the field
as dealer, and must look for no other
civilities than such as. are common with
his craft ii 1 II II

of temper, courage and endurance; the
brave intrepidity that had carried me

to my will, even when that will had been

American market is flooded with all sorts of vile

The Public Finances.

A FEW days ago General Garfield, a
= statesman of the most undoubted veracity
made speech at Columbus, in which he
gave a resume, more particularly in q
financial point of view, of the first four
months of Grants administration. That
exhibit has been before the country, and
has challenged Democratic criticism with
out eliciting it. We have yet to see any
attempt even to analyze and hold up to
reproach or ridicule this Garfield demon
~stration of the falsity of copperhead cal
umnies. Bare assertion is all that the
rsilers bring up against it, and mere say
so is of no account when opposed by facts
and figures that cannot be gainsaid.
General Garfield first touched upon
the corrupt rings which, under Johnson,
gained such mastery of public administers
. live affairs. Take the whisky ring for ex-
ample. He says that in May, 1868, the
total manufactures gave to the revenue
but 81, SOC, 600, whereas last month it pro-
duced $4,000 with thirty six collection
districts YET TO be heard from. The other
branches Of the revenue service exhibit
proportionate Improvement. Although
the first three quarters OF the fiscal year
yielded but 1885, 600 600, the current quar-
ter viii yield not less than $t00, 000. 900, or
? $20,0000 900 more than was received in any
single quarter under johnson. That the
receipts OF the Government kave been
greatly increased is beyond controversy.
Turn now to the expenditures.
From the same source we learn that
the first three quarters OF the present fis-
Csl year the expenditures amounted to
1856 900, 000, or an average exceeding $780,
100000 which, for (he current quarter,
will not exceed $e0,000,000, or $25, 000,-
900 less than in any other quarter Of the
year. 1t is safe to conclude that, unless
some extraordinary event occurs, the ap-
preparations made by Congress, reduced
though they were from the estimates of
the Johnson Cabinet, will be more than
enough to meet all expenditures. Garfield
estimates the surplus at $37, 000, 900. This,
however, is conjecture, the other figures
we have given are not based at all upon
guess work.
AS result of this increase of receipts
and decrease of expenses the National
debt is being steadily reduced. There is
to-day July y due interest on the public
debt, inclusive of the Pacific Railroad
bonds, thirty.two millions in gold and
three millions in currency, or thereabouts
The Government will be able to meet
these claims and still have surplus, esti-
mated by Washington dispatch of yes
terday at $3,000,000. 1t is not claimed
that the plan of wedding out rascals and
. imbeclles has been fully carried out, but
this much is certain, the progress made
has been greater than those who knew the
difficulties to be encountered in reform an
tlcipated. We may confidently expect a
steady increase in the income and decrease
in the outgoes of the Government during
the present Administration.-C licagO

THE LATE SENATOR DOUGLAS.
How he Looked, Dressed and Acted
when a Young Man.

Stephen A. Douglas first came to reside
10 Springfield Illinois, sometime in April,
1887. He had already served one term in
the Legislature, and had then recently been
appointed, by President Van Buren, Reg
lister of the Land Office Of that place. At
the date above mentioned, be was a little,
active, wiry felleR, about FIVE feet FIVE, and
weighed not more than ITO pounds. He
bad beardless, boyish face, dark blue lus-
trous eyes, a short thick neck, square shonl-
ders, and large round, bushy head, which,
somehow seemed much disproportioned to
the size Of his frame. He dressed plainly
and rather slovenly, for his wardrobe was
rather scanty, and bis finances at a low ebb
Altogether, he presented quite youthful,
aud, at first view, unprepossessing appear
~noe' But he was uncommonly quick and
YlVoelous IL eesr~sss.siSs.-, ---s Lid
berant flow Of animal spirits, which render
ed him delightful companion. Ofa pecu-
liarly social turn. he soon made the ac-
quaintance and won the heart of every citi-
zen in the town; and what is more, ike
Themis,ocles Of Athens, he knew them all
by name He attended all the local polite
al gatherings, vas present at all the village
frolics, and took part in all the manly pass
times of the day. He is said to have been
especially fond of wrestling, and could throw
man twice bis weight He paid assiduous
court to the elderly danes, and danced with
their young and interesting daughters; but
in treading the May meshes of Terpsiehore
he never was considered an expert.
lie went about with his pockets crammed
with newspapers, pamphlets and other po-
litical documents, and when called upon for
speech was ready. If an opponent was to
be demolished there was no man so eompe-
tent to the task: and be always carried the
record with him to substantate whatever
charge he made. He was gifted 10 rare
degree with those peculiar qualities of head
and heart which secure to their possessor the
ascendeney and the leadership 10 all matters
Of public concern. Even at that early peri
cd of his fortunes, his Democratic support
ers considered him prodigy of political wis
dom, consulted him as they would an ora
Gle, and predicted for him high destiny.
But the more aspiring among his Wing ac-
quaintances. being Jealous, perhaps, of his
rising reputation, ridiculed his pretentions.
Mr.. Douglas was then just entering, as it
were, upon his brilliant and exampled pub
lie career, and was himself scarcely conscious
of the possession of those amazing powers
of intellect which qualified him for acting
such distinguished part in national affairs.

NEARING MoURNING.

We long for the day when this custom
shall be obsolete 1t is unbecoming the
truly afflicted one. The wearer says BY the
black garments 81 have lost dear friend
l am in deep sorrow" But true grief does
not wish to parade itself before the eye of
the stranger; much less does it assert its ex-
tent. The stricken one naturally goes apart
from the world to pour out the tears. Real
affection seeks privacy. 1t is no respect to
the departed friend to say we are in sorrow.
If we have real grief, it will be discovered.
When God has entered a household in the
lawful chastisement of death, it is time for
religious meditation and communion with
God on the part of the survivors. How
sadly out of place, then, are the milliner,
and the dressmaker, the trying on of dress
es and the trimming of bonnets. There is
something profane in exciting the vanity of
young girl by fitting on waist or tying on
a hat, when the corpse of a father is lying
in an adjoining room. 1t is a sacrilege to
drag the widow forth from her grief to be
fitted for gown, or to select veil 1t is
often very oppressive to the poor. The wild
ow, left desolate, with half @ dozen little
children, the family means already reduced
by the long sickness of the father, must
draw on her scanty purse to pay for new
wardrobe for herself and children, throEing
away the goodly stock of garments already
prepared, when she most likely knows not
where she is to get bread for those little
ones. Truly may fashion be called tyrant,
when it robs a widow of her last dollar.
Surely your sorrow will not be questioned,
even if you should not call in the milliner 10
help display it. Do not, in your affliction,
help uphold custom which will turn the
affections of poorer neighbors to deeper pow
erty, as weIl as sorrow.--He Central Bap-

MANY years ago the good people of Lyme,
Conn, we're earnestly opposed in their ef-
forts to settle pastor over the only church
in town, by cross grained man by the name
of Dorr. AT parish meeting, while the
matter was under discussion, half-witted
fellow arose and said he wanted to tell
dream he had last night 81 thought" "
he said, that L died and went away -rLele
wicked people go, and as soon as Satan saw
ne, he asked where | came from. "From
Lyme, Conn.," ! told him right out "Ah
and what were they doing in Lyme ~ he
asked "They are trying to settle minis
ter" / answered. Settle minister! he
cried, II must stop that Bring me my
boots; must 60 to Lyme this very night. "
I then told him as he was drawing on his
boots that Mr. Dorr was opposing the set
tlement, and likely he would prevent it alto
gether MY servant Dorr, exclaimed his
Majesty. My servant Dorr Here, take
my boots, if my servent Dorr is at worl,
there is no need of my going at all " This
speech did the business Mr.. porr made
no further opposition The minister was
settled, but his Opponent carried the title of
my "sarvent Dorr" with him to his grave.
