"Jack," said father, yesterday

neighboring children any more, ant
to-day you have disobeyed me. Th'
next time I catch you there, l shall
be obliged to punish you
The next day Jack was there again,
totally oblivious of the Introduction,
until he saw his father entering the
neighbor's yard with rod in his hand
Jack made for the fence, over which
he leaped, pursued by his father, and
ran into the barn; there he was
caught.
Now, my son. said the father,
what did l tell you | would do yes
terday?'
You told me, father, that if You
caught me there again, you would
punish me-
We'll ?" said. the father.
Hold on, father !" said the little
reprobate, who knew that if he could
make his father laugh, the matter
would be all right, You didn't catch
me there, you caught me here" G.
The desired effect was produced,
and the rod was dropped, but the in
terdiction was renewed.

There is talk in the mining regions of Penn
sylvania of the creation of a permanent fund
for the relief of the widows and orphans of men
killed in the mines. The plan suggested is the
passage Of an act by tie Legislature of the State
that will make it legal for the nine operators to
retain monthly certain proportionate sum
from the earnings of the men, to be turned over
to general fund. The operator also is to be
required TO pay certain amount-from 500 TO
s5oO-tO the fund every time a death occurs in
his eolliery. This would at least have the effect
of making the proprietors little more careful
OF the lives of their employees.

WASHINGTON CITY:
SATURDAY. ......september rs, 1S71.

The sO-callCd Citizens Association committed
great blunder last evening by their hasty and
indiscreet acceptance Of the report of their com
mittee to wait upon Governor Cooke to request
him to have two opponents of the loan bill ap-
pointed on the Board of Registration. That
report virtually charged Governor Cooke with
Misrepresentation OF facts. in stating that he had
already been applied 10 by the democratic or
ganiZat.On TO give the democratic party a repre-
sentative upon said board. The association.
without further inquiry, endorsed this unfair
report, and in doing 20 have put their loot in
it, for the chairman of the committee adyertises
over h's ON i name in THE STAR that the com
mlttee were misinfOrmed, and that they have
to-day aSeertained that Governor Cookies state
ments to them were correct. This admission of
his was unnecessary, however. as we had the
evidence Of the writer of the communication on
this subject in our local columns and other fair
minded democrats, sustaining the Governor in
his statements. VIII the association rescind their
hasty action ? II is not necessary so far as Gov
ernor Cooke Is concerned. but they owe some
thing 20 themselves. Such ill-advised proceed
ings-we use the mildest term which will apply
to the circumstances-are not calculated to
advance the cause of the aSsociation with the
fair-minded people.
