Chicago recently rcjoiced in Deputy superin-
tendent Of Police who seems 10 have proudly united
in his own person all the disqualihca;ons for sneh
an Office which we think nj. On trial before the
Board, he was charged with incompetency, lack OF
energy, using prOfane language, discharGing prison
ers before trial. employing members of the force TO
paint his barn and nurse his father, intOyicstion.
and playing cards in bar-rooms.' OF some of these
sins he WAS found mot guilty" but enough was
proved to render it necessary TO remand him to
private life 50 that he can now paint his barn and
nurse lis invalid father himself.

A CHARITABLE WORLD.

1t is temptation to temperate man
to become a sot, to hear what talent. what
versatility, what genius is almost attribu-
ted to a moderately bright man who Is
habitually drunk. Such a mechanic, such
mathematician, such a poet he would
be, if he were only sober; and then he Is
sure to be the most generous, magnani-
nous. friendly soul, conscientiously hon.
orable. If he were not so conscientiously
drunk. suppose il is now notorious that
the most brilliant and promising men
have been lost to the world in this way.
1t is sometimes almost painful to think
what surplus of talent and genius there
would be in the world il the habit of in
toxication should suddenly cease and
what a slim chance there would be for the
plodding people who have always had
tolerably good habits. The fear Is only
mitigated by the observation that the rep
utation OF person for great talent some
times ceases with his reformation.
1t is believed by some that the maidens
who would make the best wives never
marry, but remain free, TO bless the world
with their impartial sweetness and make
it generally ho.pitable This is one of the
mysteries of Providence, and New Eng
land life. 1t seems pity, at first sight,
that all those who become poor wives
have the matrimonial chance, land that
they are deprived Of the reputation of
those who would be good wives were they
not set apart for the high and perpetual
Office Of priestesses Of society. There is
no beauty like that which was spoiled by
an accident, no accomplishments and
graces are SO to be envied as those that
circumstances rudely hindered the devel-
opment of. All Of which shows what
charitable and good tempered world it is.
notwithstanding its reputation for cyni-
cism and detraction.--Charles Dudley
Warner. in Scrt6ner's for March-(from

THE BIRD OF FREEDOM. Mr.. Edwin F.
Hunt. who trapped a bald eagle on hay.
stack upon the marshes few months
since, has been setting his wits against
those of a specimen Of the same fowl for
the past three weeks. and on Wednesday
he was successful. The eagle would not
alight in any near proximity to his pur.
suer, nor when he had gun in his hand
would the bird approach the earth. Ac-
cOrdingly on Wednesday morning, Mr..
Hunt lashed his gun to some saddle axes
on the marsh at Sea Island, and in the
range of the gun put his bait for the en-
blem of our country. He had line fast.
ened to the trigger of the gun, and after
retiring for couple Of hundred yards he
covered himself with sheet in order to
look as much like the snow as possible.
The human wit was too sharp for that Of
the fowl, and the eagle tempted by the
bait set for him was shot without mutila-
ting him in outward appearance. He was
six feet and eleven inches from tip to tip
of his wings, and was noble looking
bird. .-New6urYpot Herald.

Now what is il but the sheerest fiction 20 call the

OF the money has been used by the State 10 pay the

incident OF this sort OF hnancierng IS that the state

In the Governors annual messages utterly
false and misleading For example, in his late message

made in anticipation OF the Another evil is that
the Treasury is saddled with heavy interest account
for which no provision is made by the Legislature.
Before leaving this subject it is worth while TO invite
attention TO the constitutional provisions which bear
the Question. The Constitution Article VII. Section H.
provides that debt shall be contracted by tho State
except by law imposing and providing for the coec-
on Of direct annual sufficient 10 pay the interest
such debt 1t falls due, and also to pay and dis
charge the principal Of such debt within years from

produces but in violation Of the letter and
spirit Of the Constitution large share OF this money has
been diverted 10 the payment OF the ordinary expenses

longs TO the holders Of the bounty debt stock, ia
stock Of TO be created Thus the object Of the
trainers OF the constitution is utterly defeated.
