The present is the age Of little men.
Never before in the history of this country
have so many men Of inferior intellectual
abilities held prominent positions in the
Government, and this remark applies
equally to nearly all the State Govern
ments. At a time the most important in
its history, the affairs Of the nation are
under the control of men wanting in the
distinguishing characteristics of states
manship and hatred, bigotry and malice,
rather than patriotism and love Of jus
tee, inspire all their acts. The London
Spectator snceringly alludcs to this fact,
as evidenced in the dispatches of Secrc-
tary Fish. It says they Empress us pain
fully with the inferiority Of the new Re
publican diplomatist.'

PROMISES AND PEuFoRmAyCEs.

The Grant administration came into
power with loud protestations in favor of
rctrenchment and reform. Indeed, econ
omy was heraIded as its specially, and the
country was boastingly told that we should
soon witness a return to the purer and bet
ter days of the republic. Grant was to
lead Off in this great work of retrench-
mcnt and reform, and he was to be sus-
tanned by the entire strength of the party
that elected him, so at least ran the prom
fses of the Radical journals and orators.
How these promises have been redeemed
the Washington correspondent of the Bal
timore gazette shows in his letter of Feb.
IA:
"The Grant administration has been in
office not quite a year, and it is already
found that its special friends in Congress
are the only obstacles to a reduction in
expenditures, and the only apologists for
depredations upon the Treasury. Every
attempt to stop thievery and extravaganza
is ndiculcd by the chosen organs of
Grant in both houses. 1t is much to be
doubted, therefore, whether any con-
siderable reduction of the civil list will be
effected this session, although it has been
five years since the final close of the war.

The Count and the Dove.

remember having read some time ago, q
beautiful story of Count Zinzindorf when q
boy. He was, as dare say you know, great
German noble, and lived TO do great deal
of good in the world.
One day, when he was playing with his
hoop near the banks of a deep river which
flowed outside the walls of castle whore he
lived, he espied dove struggling in the wa
ter. By some means the poor little creature
had fallen into the river and was unable to
escape. The little Count Immediately rolled
large washing tub, which had been left near,
to the waters edge, jumped into it, and
though generally very timid on the water, by
the aid of stick he managed to steer him
self across the RIVER to the place where the
dove lay floating and struggling. With the
bird in bis arms he guided the tub back, aud
got safely to land. After warming the little
captive tenderly in his bosom, the boy ran
with it into the wood and set it free. His
mother, who had watched the whole irausac-
tion in trembling anxiety from her bedroom
window, now came out.
"But were you not afraid ?" she asked.
"Yes, was, rather" he answered; 'but
l could not bear that it should die So You
know. mother. its little ones might have been
watching for it to come home !"
