Secretary Richardson.
Secretary Richardson, in his letter to
Representative Dawes, reiterates his pre-
viously expressed views that it is better to
tO OBTAIN the necessary money by taxation
than by an increase of the public debt by
loan.
He says he selected tea and coffee be-
cause the public would feel a tariff on these
articles less than on any others; and as to
the articles OF taxation pertaining to the
Internal Revenue Bureau the money could
be collected without additional expense to
the government.
The Secretary to-day, after the necessary
examination, ascertaineG that the public
debt has increased, since the first instant

Faded and soiled and soft;
Odd things, You say, and doubt you're right.
Round seaman's neck this stormy night,
Up in the yards aloft.
Most like It's folly but, mate, look here;
When 6rst went to sea,
woman stood on yon far-of strand,
With a wedding ring on the small soft hand
Which clung so close to me.
My wife-God bless herl The day before,
She sat beside my foot;
And the sunlight kissed her yellow hair,
And the dainty fingers, def and fair,
Knitted baby's boot
The voyage was over; came ashore;
What, think you, found I there?-
grave the daisies had sprinkled white,
A cottage empty and dark as night,
And this beside the chair.
The little boot, twas unfinished still;
The tangled skein lay near;
But the knitter had gone away to rest,
With the babe asleep on her quiet breast,
Down in the chu chyard drear.

Early Rising.

All the talk about early rising is
moon shine. The habit of turning out
of bed in the middle of the night suits
some people; let them enjoy it. But it is
only folly to lay down general rule up
on the subject. Some men are fit for
nothing all day after they have risen
early every morning. Their energies
are deadened, their imaginations are
heavy, their spirits are depressed. 1t is
said you can work so well early in the
morning. Some people can, but others
can work best at night; others again in
the afternoon. Long trial and expert
ment form the only conclusive tests on
these points. AS for getting up early
because Professor Cannon has written
letters TO the papers proving the neces-
sity of it, let no one be goose enough to
do it. We all know the model man,
aged eighty: 81 Invariably rise at i've :;
work three hours, take light break
fast, namely, a cracker and a pinch of
salt, work five hours more, never smoke,
never drink anything but barley water,
eat no dinner, and go to bed at six in the
evening" If anybody finds that donk-
eyfied sort of life suit him, by all means
let him continue it.
But few people would care to live 10
eighty on those terms. If any man can
not get well withered and crumpled up
on easier terms than those, it is almost
as we'll that he depart before he is a nui-
sance TO himself and a bother to every
body else.

Iowa EditOrs-A Sensible Gus.
-,r r lOn.

The editors of Iowa believe in the adage
that "al work and no play makes Jack a
dull boy, SO they have adopted the very
sensible custom of taking an annual sum-
mer excursion, accompanied by their wives.
daughters and sweethearts. Last year they
went over the Union Pacific r. r. as far as
Salt Lake City, and this year they propose
to visit Niagara Falls. The Railroads issue
free passes, allowing two to each daily and
one to each weekly paper, with the privil-
ege to each editor of taking alady with him.
The Convention meets this year on the 19.h
june, at Cedar Rapids, and the excursion
viii start on the 2Ist.
If the editors of Ohio had as much pro-
fessional pride and fraternal feeling as those
Of Iowa, they might have similar annual
Reunion and Excursion, but hitherto all ef-
forts to unite them as body have failed.
There ought to be permanent State Edi-
torial Association in Ohio, as there is in
most other States, to meet at least once a
year, for the interchange of views and ex-
perience in matters of business, and for So
cial enjoyment. The Press of Ohio, the
third State of the Union, is in this respect
far behind that of many smaller States.
How long it shall continue to be so, rests
with the members of the fraternity them
selves. Wesshould like to hear an express
ion of opinion on the subject from our CO.
temporaries in other parts of the State.

The North American Indian.

General Walker, in North American Review.I
Voluptuary and stole; swept by gusts
of fury too terrible to be witnessed, vet
imperturbable beyond all men under the
ordinary excitements and accidents of
life; garrulous, yet impenetrable; Gu
rious, yet himself reserved; proud and
mean alike beyond compare; superior to
torture and the presence of certain death,
yet, by the standards of all other peo-
Piles, a coward in battle; capable of
magnanimous actions which, when un-
covered of all romance, are worthy of
the best days of Roman virtue, yet more
cunning, false, and cruel than the Ben
galee-'his copper-colored sphinx, this
riddle and unread of men, equally fas-
cinates and foils the inquirer. This,
however, is the Indian of history. The
Indian for whom the Government is
called to provide subsistence and in
struction, presents no such psychologi-
cal difficulties. Curious compound and
strange self-contradicIion as the red man
is in his character, in his traditional
pursuits, and amid the surroundings of
his own wild life, yet when broken
down by the military power of the
whites, thrown out of his familiar rela-
tions, his stupendous conceit, with its
glamour of savage pomp and glory,
rudely dispelled, his occupation gone,
himself beggar, the red man becomes
the most commonplace person imagin-
able, of very simple nature, limited as
pirations and enormous sppetities.

A Young Girl,s Heroism.

A young girl named Lottie Dough
erty recently died at Millyille, N. J.,
from the effects of wound sustained
by her during a successful effort tc
save the lives of nearly thousand
people. In Augustlast, according te
the Millville Republican, the deceas-
ed, while occupying the post of tele-
graph operator at Eagle Station,
on the line of the Pennsylvania Cen
tral Railroad, wasplsced in aposition
of responsibility which might have
proved too much for most men. Du-
ring fearful thunder storm, an i'm
mense tree was struck by lightning
and thrown across the railroad track.
Almost at the same instant, the tel
egraph apparatus Yas disabled, Find
ing it impossible to send a message
to warn the approaching train of
danger, the brave girl seized red
lamp, and ran up the line swinging
it above her head. The engineer saw
the signal in time to avoid fearful
disaster. The engine ran against the
tree, however, with force enough to
disconnect heavy branch, which
struck her on the shoulder, and in
ficted the injuries that resulted in
her death. The passengers were so
grateful for their escape that an at
tempt was made to reward her, but
she firmly refused to accept anything
for having done her duty Such acts
of personal heroism should not be
allowed to go unrewarded, and the
men and women who were on the
train that August night might have
now an opportunity to mark their ap-
probation of poor Lottie's bravery by
causing a handsome monument to be
erected to her memory-[N. Y.

To TELL AN HONEST MANA letter
writer says: "Talking with a hotel
keeper the other day, I remarked that
in a large city like this, he must lose
a great deal by transient customers,
who would go away and forget to
pay their bills. He replied, "Oh, no,
1 never lose much by folks of that
sort. 1 have made it rule in my
house whenever a man wants q room,
and has no baggage, to demand pay
in advance, as is usual. If he mani
tests no objection, and puts his hand
in his pocket for money, 1 tell him it
is all right he can pay just as well
when he is going away. That kind
of a man always pays. But there is
another sort of fellow who when in
formed of the rule, pretends to be
very indignant, insisting that he is a
gentleman by,-and is not in the
habit of having his name questioned
or his honesty doubted. In such
cases 1 invariably insist on the pro-
duction of the funds, for I know if I
don't get them then, I should never
get them in this world. Men who
talk about their honor, and assume
to be insulted when requested to pay,
can be depended on for frst-class
dead beats" #
