A story is told of a young couple
in Hartford, who wanted to hear
Dickens read. They could hardly
afford it, but screwed up their ex-
travagance to the necessary pitch.
As they concluded to invest, they
bethought themselves Of a poorer
family near by who were suffering
from lack of work. So they gave
up Dickens, and paid the price of
two tickets to their Impoverished
neighbor5. The poor people took
the money, bought tickets with it,
and attended the readings.

The People and the Ku.KIux.

The People and the Ku-KIuX.
The Presidents proclamation un-
der the Ku-Klux law is a simple,
earnest appeal to the people Of the
disturbed section, to keep the peace
and secure the rights Of all citizens
through the agency Of local laws.
It is the sincere expression of a
wish not to be compelled to eXer-
else the great powers cOnfided to
him, but also of q fixed resolution
not to hesitate to use them if his
warning does not suffice. The
proclamation is both firm and mod
est; and in the assertion of the au-
thority confded to him by the rep
resentatives of the people it con-
trasts agroeabIy with the dictatOrial
tone which is apt to characterize
such documents.
There is no question in the mind
of any honorable and intelligent
citizen, that the President speaks
like the proved patriot and honest
man that he is, when he says ;''It
is nv earnest wish that peace
and cheerful obedience to the law
may prevail throughout the land
and that all traces of our late unhap-
py civil strife may be speedily re-
moved. These ends can be easily
reached by acquiescence in the re-
suits of the conflict, now written in
our Constitution, and by the due
and proper enforcement of equal,
lust, and impartial laws in every
part of our country" That is the
platform of every hearty RePubli-
can and that is what the Democrats
resist THarper's Weekly.

Riches oftentimes, if nobody take
them away, make to themselves
wings and fly away and truly
many time the undue sparing of
them is but letting their wings grow
which makes them ready to fly
away and the contributing a part
of them to DO good, only clips their
wings little, and makes them stay
the longer with their Owner.-[Arch-

cratic journal that we have seen as
sails it. They do not deny that 100
more votes were returned than were
polled, nor that 100 more were re-
turned for English than for his par
ty ticket; yet they insist that Eng
lish should be elected by this blum
der or fraud. This exhibits the

DIR. G.. w. RObey for State
Treasurer.

This gentleman, nov OF Column
bus, but formerly Of Chillicothe, is
we'll and favorably known to many
of our readers. He is again can
didate for State Treasurer on the
Republican ticket, and will receive
a strong support in the Convention
from Southern Ohio. A CORE
spondent of the State Journal says ::
Two years ago the contest for
this office was between DR.. Robey
and the present incumbent. Now
that he has served for three terms,
it seems proper that Robey should
be bis successor. DR.. RObeY's rep
utation as an honest and successful
business man commends him to the
people as one worthy to fill the Of
fee of Treasurer, while his popular
itv and activity as a Republican
DOlitician should commend him 10 a
convention whose aim it must be to
make as good and strong a State
ticket as possible

A correspondent says of Gustave
Flourens, who was killed in one Of
the recent fights before Paris :
"Flourens died fighting, as you
might expect. His life would read
like a romance. He figured in two
French and three foreign revolutions.
He was a leader at Naples in the
last insurrectiOn there. He was, in
short, born a revOlutiOnist, and yet
a man of pleasing manners. He
saved life on the 31st of October,
and, indeed, but for him that emeute
would have ended in the assassina-
ton of Trochu and Favre. Like
Rochefort, he was connected with
one Of the most respectable families
in France. His father was a pro-
fessor of European reputation, and
he himself was a man of elegant and
profound attainments."
