A Druukard's Widow Gets $1,000.

The Cincinnati Commercial OF the
25th, tells us how they protect
drunkards from salson-keepers in
that State.
The particular case before the
court was suit by Mrs. Lew
is, who resided in Ironton, Ohis,
whose husband had been supplied
with liquor as long as his greenbacks
lasted. In consequence, the topper,
while in delirium tremens, wander ed
around in the woods for about two
days, and was found frozen to death.
Under the advice Of respectable
ncighbors, the widow at once brought
suit. After full trial the jury award
ed her So, 900 damages. Immediate
ly thereon the whisky man, one
Evans, turned everything into cash
and departed for parts unknown
On such action being brought to the
knowledge Of the court, an order
was made setting aside the sale as
fraudulent and intended to defeat
justice, and directed the judgement
to be levied on his real estate.
Good for Ohio. When will Ten
nessee do likewise? Did we have
such a law and procedure among US
our publicans would not be quite so
reckless as to what and to whom
they sell their forty rod" and many
now widows and orphans among US
would still be enjoying the blessings
OF a husband and fathers presence
and provision, instead OF his filing 3
drunkard's grave

Ex-Presldent Johnson.



The Memphis AUdEdnche is groom
ing ex-President Johnson for the
next gubernatorial race. Now, there
is not an extraordinary degree of
good sense or strategical ability dis
played in trotting out anybody at
this early day. particularly upon a
question which may be pretty well
settled before the canvass can open.
Here is one of the AUoIanche's para
graphs
"An East Tennessee paper, COM
menting on an AUdldnche suggestion,
doubts if "a. johnson, of Greene
vilIe," is a candidate for Governor.
OF course he is not. He belongs to
the class whom Offices seek, and
whenever the people desire him for
a leader he will be found at the front.
The funding question is the coming
issue in Tennessee, and no man is so
well qualified as the ex-President to
lead the anti-funders to victory"
With all respect, the remark about
the Office seeking the man is little
balmy. We respect Mr.. johnson as
much as any candid man possibly
can-esteem him highly for his in
tellectual abilities and that great
force of will and character which en-
abled him to lift himself fromr espec.
table obscurity to the highest hon
ors in the government Of his coun-
try. But we don't now remember
that he ever manifested an irrepres-
sible disposition to ''hide OUT when
a position worthy of an honorable
ambition came within the range of
his far-reaching vision. It is good
while until the next gubernatorial
election, and several things of more
or less Importance may happen in
the interval.

Who Did II?

Hon. Jas. A. G arfeldof Ohio, has
written long letter in reply to the
resolution Of the Warren county
Republicans, asking him to resign
bis seat in Congress for voting for
the increased salary bill. The hon
orable gentleman declines to resign
n seat which is now worth $500 q
year, and wants to know why the
Warren county Republicans do not
ask President Grant to resign, also.
Says he:
"If the delegates believe the retro
active salary clause is so infamous
that j ought to resign for voting for
the appropriation bill to which it
was attached. will they follow out
their logic and insist that the Presi-
dent ought to resign for signing it?
NY vote did not make it a law. His
signature did"
That's hitting the rail square on
the head. If Grant had vetoed that
bill it coul1 not have become law,
but then he would not have get an
addition of 5000 to his salary
The very same day that he approved
that bill, he was inaugurated for his
second term. If that is not viola
ting the spirit if not the letter Of
the Constitution which provides that
his salary ''shall neither be increased
nor diminished during the period for
which he shall have been elected"
by what name can it be called? He
approved tue bill which increased
his salary the very day his second
term commenced. His signing the
bills gave the Congressman the
hack salary steal and increased
his salary as well. It IS disreputa-
BILE to the last degree, but is simply
characteristic Of the avaricieus Ulys.

A Word with Young Men.

Young man, did youever ask your
self why there are SO many people in
the world unemployed, and why so
many fill the drunkard's grave?
There is employment for the entire
world, yes. honorable employment:
yet we often see young men of
abilities physical and mental, loating
around, lOlling away the Springtime
of their life in utter worthlessness.
Y0nng man consider, remember, how
ever true it may be our country l. con-
t-olled by your superior, and the pc
itions of honor and u. efulness are at
present beyond your Crap; the
grandness of our future rests upon you.
Remember the world was not made
in a day. Neither can you expect to
make fortune, nor gain reputation
in day. Bide your time and per-
severe. Per, everance and energy
will be sure to lead to success. If in
your power, by all means choo e q
profession and pursue it. Honor
your profession, and it will honor
you. Work is no di-honor and Ia
illness is no credit to any one. 1t is
good to have wages; but half pay is
better than nothing. and working for
nothing is better than idienes< and
vice. Remember there Is greater
demand for young men now than
ever before. For young men, who are
not for sale, for with these the market
is supplied. true honest young men.
Sound from centre to circumference
as the needle TO the pole. Men
who know their places and Fill them.
Young men who are not too lazy to
work, not too proud to lie poor
and was what they lave paid for
Talent is a good thing and if you
have it improve it ; but if you have
not got l., then make the beet use of
tact. Educate yourselves. or you
will 60 down to the tomb of oblivion
perhaps to ruin. While, if you
educate yourselves, you will be an
homer to yourselves and 20 your conn
try. Education is worth more than
gold. it Is a constant friend through
life. and at death a consolation. BE
independent so far as you are able.
bive for something, and think for
something, and think for yourself-
it is too&xpensive to hire others to do
your thinking aud let your machine
decay in rust. Attend to your own
business, and be sure to let other
peoples alone. Have but few conf
dents-the fewer the better-and
always be true to your friends.
Fear not your en- mics. and re-
member. your character can not be
materially injured except by your
own act.
Young mau, cut this out; paste it
in your album fof future reference.
Do good and leave behind you a
monument of virtue. that the storms
of time cannot destroy. Strive
to have your name to shine Is brill
liant star in the classical skies.
Write your name by kindness and
love on the hearts of the Thousands
with whom You associate, and you
may re t assured that you will never
be forgotten.

dents of work to the company and
paid to the hands by them. But,
not considered legitimate because
the name of the work hand was net
endorsed on the back of the order.
This is, also. the case with Mr.. Tur-
ner's account. He has in his pos
session orders paid to the amount of
$5.660.60, from superintendent of
work but the commissioner refused
to recognise them as legitimate be-
cause the work hand had not endors-
ed his name, also, on the back of the
order. In justice to Mr.. Turner, it
is necessary to state that the COM
pany holds his receipt for the above
amount, and that on the back of
said receipt is endorsed the follow
ing:
