A BOYS FIRST RoOTs.

The boot period is the dividing line
between babyhood and boyhood. Be
fore the boots. one is tramped upon by
comrades, and stuck with pins, and we
walk with an air Of apology for the fact
that we were born at all. Robust school
fellows strike us across the check, and
when we turn TO them, they cry s'Mho
are you looking at p or, what is worse
than any possible insult, have somebody
chuck us under the chin and call us
"Bub. Before the crisis of boots, the
country boy carries 4 handkerchief.-
This keeps him in state Of constant
humiliation. Whatever crisis may come
in a boys history--ilo haRdkerchief--
This is the very unpopular period Of
snuffles. But at last the period of boots
dawns upon boy. Lookout how YOU
call him fBub' He parts his hair on
the side, has the end of his white hand
kerchief sticking out Of the top of his
side pocket as if it were recently ar
ranged so has a dignified and manly
mode Of expectoration, and walks down
the road with long strides, as much as to
say, Clear the track for my boots i''-
We have. seen imposing men, but none
have so impressed US as the shoemaker
who, with waXy hand, delivered into our
possession our FIRST pedal adornments.-
AS he put the awl through the leather,
and then inserted the bristles, and drew
them through it, and then, bending over
the lap-stone, grasped the threads with
a jerk that made the shop shake. we said
to ourself, Here is a gracefulness for
you, and power
1t was a Sabbath day when We broke
them in. O! the rapture of that mo-
ment when we lay hold of the straps at
one end, and our big brother pushing at
the other, the boot went on We fear
that we got but little advantage that day
from the services. An the pulpit ad-
monition about worldlineSs and pride
struck the toe of our boots and fell back.
We trampled under our feet all good
counsel. We have TO repent that. while
some trust in horses and some in char
lots, we nut too much stress upon leath-
er. Though our purchase was so tght
in the instep that as soon as we got TO
the woods we went limplng on our way
what boots IL ? We felt that IN such
a cause il was noble 70 suffer. For some
reason. boots are not what they used to
be. You pay a big price, and you might
walk all day without hearing from them; /
but the original pair which tell Of spaSe

whether YOU had been to church after
YOU had once walked up the aisle In
company with leather. Il was pure elo-
quenee of oalf-skin.--kfeF'1Aa and Home.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, "A

e. lLg7s sDear. Sir .r-In the confusion
which has arisen. in some of the public
journals about estimates and appropria-
tions and disbursements, the impression
has been created that General Grants
| administration has expended more mon
-ey in the same time than its immediate
predecessor. This is totally erroneous,
as a balance sheet, on comparison OF
official figures. will clearly establish
The present administration has been in
power nearly a year, and we can COM
pare that period with the closing twelve
months of President Johnson's IS admin
listration. a .f5Hsl15a aH. ..a,,t
From March /, t868, to March i, 1860,
the total receipts into the Treasury were
a little over S368, 8,ooo, 900, i Iavoid frac-
tons for the sake of perspfcuity. Every
| dollar of this amount was expended,
and the pdblic debt for the same period
increased about 100000, as appears
from the official publications Of the
Treasury Department, thus showing a
total expenditure for the year Of 1914
10000 % -.-se- ae
The total receipts into the Treasury for
| the first year of General Grants admin
I.istration, estimating for the few remain
| ing days, viii amount to 10000, 600.
Out of this sum total, $50, ,ooo, 900 have
been applied to the payment Of the pub

ditures of the Government. including in
terest on the public debt, $3I4, 900, 600,
or 500, 600, 600 less than was expended
in the same time by President Johnson's S
administration.
These figures are taken from official
records; their accuracy cannot be ques-
toned. IT viii be observed that the re-
ceipts were. twenty-six millions more in
General Grants first year than in Mr.

& Whether regard, then. be had to the
fidelity with which the revenue is col

expended. the comparison for the past,
undeniably, is Overwhelmingly in favor
Of the present Administration.
For the future the fullest confidence
may be indulged The House Of Rep
resentatives is vigorously seconding the
efforts made by Mr., Dawes. the.able and
upright Chairman of the Appropriation
Committee, to curtaiE the expenditures
wherever it may be done, and / am very

wos1nN As esANp JURORS.

The Judiciary of Wyoming territory
having sustained the right of women to
serve as grand Jurors, all of the women
drawn were present in the court room at
Laramie City at II o'clock yesterday
morning. A motion was made to quash
the panel, but it was not sustained and
at II:sssA Ne the panel were sworn.
None of the women asked to be'excused.
The following address was. delivered by
Chief Justice Dove azsaE -
s'ssLadies and G6Ht2elzle1 9f tie rGra,sa
jury
at is an innovation and a great nov
city To- see as We do to-day ladies' sum
moned to serve. as Jurors. The eSten-
sion of political rights and franchise to
women is subject that IS. agitating the
whole country I have never taken an
active part in these discussions, but
have long seen that woman was a vic
tim to the vices, crimes and immoralities
of man. with no power 70 protect and
defend herself from these evils.
~ have long felt that such powers of
protection should be conferred upon wo-
man, and it has fallen to our lot here to
act as the pioneers in the movement, and
to test the question. The ewes af the
whole world are to-day fixed upon this
jury of Albany county. There is not the
slightest impropriety in any lady occu-
pying this position, and wish to. assure
| you chat the fullest projection of the
court shall be accorded to you. 1t wonld
| bela most shameful scandal that IN our
temple of justice, and in our courts of
| law, anything should be perlaitted which
the most sensitive lady might not hear
| with prOpriety, and witness. res
And here let me add that it will be a
sorry day for any man who shall so far
| forget the courtesy due and paid by every
| American gentleman to every American
| LADY, as to- even by a word or. act, en-
/ deayor to deter you from the exercise ,oi
/ these rights with which the law has in
vested you. will conclude with the re-
mark that this s a question for voui to
| decide for yourselves. No man has any
right to interfere. II seems to be emil
nently proper. for women to sit upon
grand juries, which will give them the
best possible opportunities to aid in sup
pressing the dens Of infamy which curse
| the country. rsas.sss3
| II shall be glad OF your assistance in
the acconpI of this object. IA
not make these remarks from distrust 81
any Of the gentlemen. On the contrary,
I am exceedingly pleased and gratified
with the indication Of intelligence, love
Of law and good order. and the gentle-
manly department which / see manifest
! ed here. will now listen to any reasons
which any jurors may make for being

which IS kneWn in history and literature
asl''poefio justice. Z History aBodnds in
examples Of this. Nearly al the cruel

subjects, died unnatural deaths-somc

Louis Napoleon sits. on the throne Of
France. to-day to aYenge the divorcing
1of Josephine. She was put away in or
der that the first Napoleon might have a
successor to the throne, and that Prov
ideneee whose mills grind slowly but
grind exceeding fine, overhreW the
Emperor, doomed the child to weakness
and obscurity, and put Josephine's
grandson on the throne.
Il was, remarked at Washington when
Senator Revels took his seat, that a few
years ago, under the regulations of Con-
gress, a negro could not enter the Cap
itol grounds. Now a coloFed man passes
up the walk where Calhoun 50 often
passed, forging arguments to keep the
black man ii bondage, enters the. Senate
Chamber and sits down in the seat in
which Jefferson Davis formerly sat, and
will soon rise, if accounts be correct. to
move that certain disabilities be removed
from the white men lately engaged in an
effort to keep him in slavery! Such is
the poetic and christian triumph Of the
black man 5as5 be.
This poetic justice. we may learn from
all history as well as from our own ex-
perience, is one of the most certain
things in the dealings of God with men.
Of course, the murderer is not always
put to death by violence, but if we saw
all the circumstances, we should perhaps
see that in most of these cases such
death would not be poetic justice. The
poisoner of Claudius and the assassin of
Servius Galbi, were instruments to inflict
poetic Justice. This does not always
come in a shape so pointed and palpa-
bic as the hanging of Haman on the
gallows which he had erected for Nor
decai, but the rule IS lis inAiction in
