down on the oath of last June, by con-
sumption, In the bloom and beauty OF
nineteen. Having nearly finished his
education, he had begun to be of great
/ help to me in my peculiar literary busi-
/ ness-being ready and rapid c0pyist as
/ well as q clear and fine writer Of prose,
/ even from his eighth year. at my time
! OF life, approaching sixty, feel the
/ shock OF laying my only prop in the
! grave, aud the reversal of the order of
nature in pressing my hands upon his
closing eyelids, Of whom had said:
"'T1is same shall lay me- IN the tomb,

"A good story is going the rounds of
the literal Germsn press, illustrating
the unimp0rtanee Of the recent change
OF ministers by Napoleon III. There
were two Polish Jews in Warsaw who
desired and obtained leave of audience
With the Gar. Arrived at the door Of
the royal palace, they were turned back
by the master OF ceremonies, who said,
You can't enter in this condition you
must first change yo1r linen." Without
a murmur the Jews went home and
Obeyed; that is, Abraham put on the
dirty shirt Of Solomon, and Solomon
put on the dirty shirt of Abraham. So
they change ministers In France.
Agitation for the ballot has begun
In earnest in England. The "LondOn
Reform Lsague," at a recent meeting,
adopted 3 memorial urging Parliament
to put open voting to test by insisting
that everybody who has g right to vote
shall exercise II. 1t is believed that this
indirect method viii do more for the pro-
posed system than q plain demand for
1t. When men fad that they have TO
vote, whatever influence may disincline
them to voting, il is believed they will
imperstively claim the protection of Sc
cresy secured by the ballot. 1t is all
right and proper TO give men the ballot,
out to compel them to use it against (
their will is anotBer form OF despOhsm.
The Cincinnati Commercial explains .
why the rib wss selected as the part of
Adam whereof Eve was TO be created /
50 Had it been toe from the foot, Adam
aEd the rest Of mankind would have
assumed that woman was intended
to be an inferior, and ruled over her on
that ground alone. Had 1t been finger
or thumb, it would still have implied SER
vice. But taken cut of his side, near his
heart, he could claim nothing from the .
act # creation itself other than that wO-
man was intended 10 stand side by side
with him, and that he had been put to
no material anatomical loss In order to
bring the lovliest Of her sex into exist
ence."
Wendell Phillips was once merci
Iessly dissected by Psrke Goodwin as

one that will stick; hut he.ssys many
true things, one Of which is the follow

since 1861, patriotic enough not to guar
