Tea and Kisses.

l have already alluded to the fact that
there is one thing which you may be NOR
ally certain what an American woman will
do when she sits down to a table, in any
cline, at any hour, and under any circum-
stances, and that is, if she be a free agent
she orders cup of tea. But, before going
any further, wish TO qualify this sweeping
assertion. She is almost equally as likely
to kiss baby on first sight. Now, kissing
q baby means, with most women, almost
devouring it bodily. Strangely enough,
such kisses as men give only to women,
women only give to babies. No lover and
no husband in the world can throw one of
them in so fine frenzy as the sight of
small, rOly-pOly mass of pink and white
flesh, done up in embroidered flannel,
tucked nainsook and pink ribbons. But
the charm gradually wears away after the
child is year old; and am not able to
certify whether its first freshness lasts over
that time in the mans case.

Soldiers, and sailors, Convention.

WASHINGTON, May IA soldiers and
sailors convention was held here last night
the Grand Army of the Republic. Their
business was to take action against certain
legislation of Congress affecting their in
terests, particularly the recently passed
bounty land act, which requires occupancy
and cultivation to secure possession. This,
they say, is a delusiOn to soldiers and sail
Ors, especially those suffering from or dis
abled by wounds or other casualties, and
they also protest against the system of pen
siOns, saying pensions should commence
from the time the disability existed. or the
period of filing proofs; and besides, for
making pensions more equitable, they want
an addition of twenty per cent.

New YORK. Nav IA Havana letter,
dated April "a, says: "DOn Alvarez de Ia
Compa, the father of one of the young stu
dents so brutally massacred by the vOlun-
teers last November, has written an address
to the King of Spain, which he sent to Mad
rid by General Palanea, in which he de-
manded justice on all implicated in the
murder of his child. He has caused several
thousand copies of the address to be printed
for circulrion both in Spain and Cuba. The
leaders of the bntcheries, dreading the re-
suit of the address, are determined, if at all
possible, to suppress it. They know that
General Palanea has taken, with the ad-
dress of the King, a number of documents
clearly proving the facts by De Lalampa.
Among the documents is a letter addressed
by them to the Governor of Hav-
ana, Lopez ReOberts, to De Lalampa,
after the arrest of the latter's son, and
which is said to be convincing proof of the
venal purpose which instigated the Gov
ernOr to make the arrest. The leaders Of
the volunteers determined to force Della
Campo, either by entreaties or threats, to
telegraph General Palanea with instruc-
lions not to present the address. Palanea
had only left for Spain by the last steamer,
and counter orders from Della Campo would
reach him on his arrival at Cadiz.
Threats of instant death failed to brighten
Della Campo into signing the telegram al
ready written, and the latter sought the
protection of the government and FASTENED
to the acting Captain General and the Gov
ernor of Havana. The latter advised him
TO leave the island, because he assured him
he could not, for want of means. guarantee
his life or property. Upon this advice
Della Campo acted, taking the steamer Ger

On EhnnsinR Men.


Almost all rules are bad which tend to
limit the choice of men for employment of
any kind. Any rule, for instance, about ex-
| cess of age, is injudiciOus. The powers of
different men are so various, that it is not
too much to say, that men are often twenty
years Younger or older, than their age ac-
cOrding to years. II we look at the great
events, not only in ancient history. but at
those of the last few years, we shall see that
the greatest of those events have been car
ried to prosperous issue by men who were
ANYTHING but young.
Now, why should we confne our view in
this matter to generals, and kings, and
statesmen! If the view is good for any
thing, it applies to all men; and more
foolish thing is seldom done by any govern
ment, by any minor body of men, or by any
individual than in fixing limit of age as
regards the employment of its or his agents.
Similar statements might be made as re-
CARDS several of the disqualifcatlons which
are frequently set out in the shape OF rules
and bylaws, and which prevent men from
choosing those of their fellow-men who
would be most capable OF conducting their
affairs.
Pecuniary disqualifcations is an instance
of what | mean. You think to gain good
man to manage your affairs because he han
pens to have a small share in your under
taking. 1t is a great error. You want him
to do something well which you are going
to tell him to do. If he has been WISELY
chosen, and is an able man, his pecn-
mary interest in the matter will be mere
dust in the balance, when compared with
the desire which belongs to ali sucb
men to do their work well. On the other
hand, by insisting upon peouuiary quail.
fcation, you may easily prevent Yourself
from being able to choose the best man.
Rules of this kind generally punish most the
men who make them. The real reason whv
men, even of great ability, whether in gov
eminent or in other public bodies, have cir
cumscribed themselves by these rules and !
this qualification is, that thew are not sufi- |
GENTLY penetrated BY the idea of the value !
of having the right man in the right place. |
The advantage to the world of having men |
rightly placed is almost inconeeivable. All |
