MAKING THE PEOPLE PAY.-Say the New
York Sun:
The Houseof Representatives have taken
the life out of the bill to rectify the great sal
airy grab, and have agreed that Grant shall
continue to draw all he wants. The next
thing in order is to put on the taxes on tea,
coffee, and tobacco. Having doubled the
Presidents pay, giving him $4,000 a year
when he had agreed to serve for $25 600, and
having taken back pay and forward pay for
themselves, now let them complete their ar
raugemcnts so that every working man and
woman in the country willhave to contribute
q sufficient share of the cost Of these EXecu-
tive and Congressional luXurics.

ARREST Of BoY.-A lad eleven years old
was arrested on Monday, charged with the
larceny ola watch from a son Of Mr.. William
Ii. Scarf, proprietor of the Fallston and Mag
nolia stages. The boy had occupied room
with young Scarf, and it is alleged took the
watch, and sold it near Bel Air for ten cents
with which he bought pack of fire crackers
The lad, who was quite a little fellow, was
lodged in Jail. Tie question arises, whether
it would not have hecn better for society and
for the boy himself to administer slight
punishment and let him go, rather than COM
pei him to spend u month or two in the coun-
ty Jail, in the debasing company that is usual
ly found here. We submit the question to
humaniarians.

lis DAY IN--Once in q while. SAYS
the Danbury Nars, there is day when q
man is ont of work, and he stays at home
After breakfast Is eaten and the dishes are
removed. he pulls out the family drawer. and
dumps the contents on the table. to look for
a PAPER Of suddenly acquired importance.
Having got a chair which has lost leg, and
for that reason has Leen set aside where no
body will be apt to get into trouble with it,
he drops into it, ana it Immediately comes
apart, and deposits him under the table.
lie Jumps to his feet at once, and kicks the
chair into the hallway, to the imminent
danger of his wife and the woman who lives
in the other part of the house. both of
whom. being under the impression that one
of thu children had fallen from the mantle
piece and broken its back. have started to
the rescue. lie Immediately asks his wife
what kind Of an idiot she is to leave broken
chair where any one can sit down on it and
ieopardize lite and limb and sarcastically
inquires if she wanted to kill him. or merely
cripple him for life, and scouts with scorn
indescribabe the intimatiOn that the chair
was placed where no sane party would ever
think of looking for one. After that he gets
n new chair which he is confident will throw
him and hurt him, and says so, and pores
over the paper again,
Pretty soon he is attended hy one of the
children who is making herculean efforts to
scale one of the table legs with view to
getting on top to see what is going on. As
the little round head with the swelling
cheeks and bulging eyes and tumbled hair
and very dirty mouth, appears above the top,
and beams up at him, he nery0usly cries,
Hey, YOU, now, come out Of that and start
after your mother; she wants you" But
the child knows that its mother doesn't want
him. and 50 does he, and being at a loss to
explain why, he falls to work at the papers
again. In very little while, one very
chubby arm is thrown on top of the table,
and the eyes have reached the level, and are
taking in the wonders of the display There
is another move up, then a sudden weakness
in the legs that are tightly Rugged to the
tables legs, then desperate but hopeless
clutch at the papers for safety, andthe little
head disappears with lightning velocity, and
then an ominous bump, and then scream.
and the miserable man is on his feet again,
holding the suffering child wrong side up ana
screaming for help. The moment it is in
its mothers arms, and the camphor is in
reach, the man, who stays home because he
has nothing to do, puts on his coat and hat
and Beats hasty retreat, leaving the wife
to calm the distracted breast of the child
and set the table Ia rights. When he has
another day to himself, he dumps out the
drawer again, and goes over 4 similar

about hearing considerable organ in

interminably long voluntary finally had an
end, in 4 respectfully short anthem by their

Being sensible a well as pious man, he

Amen, than up struck the organ second

would never be concluded. Again the or
