Of its approach wherever it went; he

the extirpation of this scOurge the

Great and Small Heroes.

The daily fretting of business, the
CALLING embarrassments of purposes
caused by the counter purposes of 9TH
ers, are hard to bear, because we must
bear them always. Women, of all
others, especially those who have the
cares of housekeeping, and the man.
agement of children, are subject to
annoyance much more grievous, in
the long run, than the greater sor-
rows of life. When the child cries,
the father, unless he be the paragon
of fathers, finds business suddenly
calling him down town; he remem-
bers an important errand at Jones's,
that he had forgotten until the cross
child refreshed his memory. The
mother is n prisoner in her bedlam,
and what wonder if sometimes the
patience fail, and if, with some long
tried and heavenly burdened soul,
heart and hope give out at last? The
great heroes are those who have car
ried heaviest sorrows meekly-
those men who have endured daily
contradictions of people, and daily
embarrassment OF circumstances with
meekness; the great heroines are
| those women that, under the inceS-
SAINT wear and tear of little vexations.
have borne in obscurity the flower OF
patience and the fruit of long suffer
ing.
In great trials there are compensa-
tions. All the world of our acquaint-
ance is looking at US, perchance, and
the large stage upon which our forti-
tude or our integrity is exercised af-
I fords ne sOnna StimTIlus- or at laast
our own egotism finds satisfaction
/ in conscious heroism. But there is a
meanness about little cares that shuts
out this consolation. The great he
rOes are not they to whom the world
builds monuments, and whose mem
ories stand on all our shelves. We
stumble over their unmarked graves
in every cemetery. Only Gods trans.
planting shall reveal them in theil

The LOndOn Times fakes Up the New
York Herald's Hobby, and Reads a
Z Lecture TO the United States.

A New York Herald special from
its issue yesterday, treats the subject
OF Cesarism in America editorially,
using the argument that change in
the presidency of the United States
would be a great reform, and ought to
be welcome to the people, if possible,
as q means of effecting the extinction
in America Of system of constant re-
election of the executive and its at
tendant evils, inasmueh IS the present
plan fails to secure TO the community
the benefits which were expected from
it, or involves the presence OF evils
greater than those which it was
framed to prevent. There can be no
doubt that the election Of President
Grant to a third term Os office may
have important consequences not in
tended by those who have suggested
it. A third presidential term may be
followed by fourth, and the lease Oi
power may be again renewed until il
is terminated only by the failing
health or termination Of life of the
holder of the office. 1t may wei
come, In this way, to be an under.
SlOOu LllHS IfldJ Tie AmeElcdn 1TeSl'
dent shall be elected for life, and that
his reelection, taken at the end Oi
each four years, will be merely nom.
inal, or at the most, as q safeguard
against the preparation of any scan
dalous abuse of power. 1t would be q
great and important change il this
were to occur, one that would not fail
to largely influence the general state
Of politics in America. 1t would be
likely TO secure to the people of the
United States the services of better
men, and to render the process Oi
their appointment to Office less de-
grading to themselves and all con-
cerned in it. The details of an Amer.
lean Presidential election are read on
this side of the Atlantic with amuse-
ment and disgust, and there are many
evidences which go to show that they
are looked on in much the same way
in America. 1t would be worth while {
to try blan which could do little
harm and might do much good. 1t is
the simplest plan Of reform which was
ever carried out or suggested.

And he tried to disengage himself
from her embrace-while all the
brakemen, and the baggage master,
and the newsbOys stood around, and
said his conduct was infamOEs. In
the midst Of the struggle stranger
entered with carpet bag. He looked
exactly like Slimmer-and when he
saw his wife in SINNERS arms, he
became excited, and he fiOOred Slim
mer with that carpet bag, and sat on
him and smOte his nose and carOmed
on his head, and asked him what he
meant Simmer was removed on

his wife and family in a can. He
called next day to apologize. His

of SINNERS likeness to him. And
now Simmer wishes he may soon be
kicked iH the face by a mule so that
he will resemble no ather human on
earth.

LYXCHIyG IN LOUISIANA.
Twelve Horse Thieves Hanged by the
Vigilance Committee.

The troubles which We last week an
tieipated would occur between the cit
iZ9ns Of VermilliOn parish and the
hOrce of cattle thieves that infest thai
region, have at last broken out with
terrible violence. The committee
urged to desperation by the cool au.
dacity of the robbers, have given vent
to their long pent up feelings of in
dlgnation, aud commenced the work
Of retFibutive justice. Up to writing
some twelve Of the gang have been
swung up.
Our streets are full of vague ami ex-
aggerated rumOrs concerning the on
eratiOns Of the Vigilance Committee,
the number executed, &C., and it is
next to impossible to obtain a correct
detailed account of the extent of the
troubles From the best sources at
hand We elicit the following infOrma-
ton:
A delegation of citizens from Able
vile had called upon Governor Kel-
lOgg with a view Of laying the facts Of
the case before him and ascertAining
their course of action in the matter,
The Governor told them, it is said, to
go on and do whatever the eXigencies
of the case seemed to require
Armed with this permission, they
proceeded at once TO seize and hang
three or four of the worst characters,
among them two sons of ex-Sherif
Lege. A prisoner was taken out of
Jail and shared the same fate; butch
er was seized and executed. Persons
who came from Abbeville last Mon
day testify to having seen three or
four bodies swinging from one tree in
the neighborhood. The most intense
excitement prevails, and the members
OF the committee were securing the
country in search of the ''spottedr inv
dividuals, aud hanging them as fast
as caught. Two Of the leading thieves
are known to have passed New Iberia
on their way to the bay. One of them
is said TO have thrown his saddle into
the bay, and turned his horse loose
upon arriving there, preparatory to
making his way to tue city. He was,
however, telegraphed for and arrested,
On Tuesday evening man named
Pagnol was hanged.
The up boat was boarded this
Thursday morning while at Jane

men armed with shot-guus, and a
prisoner on board, supposed TO be the
one arrested ct Brashear, forcibly alb
Quoted. Parties who afterward met
this same crowd declare the prisoner
was not then in their possession. This
morning he is said to be on q tree
near DR.. Dungan's plantation.
The foregoing are the only details
we have been aDle to gather in regard
to this terrible affair which may be
considered at all reliable. 1t is not
known here how many thieves have
been executed up to this time. The
most reasonable reports put the num-

Our Obligations to Hopeful Men.

Hope is a charming trait in men.
There is something very admirable in
cOnscientiOusness in its depth, in its
endurance, in the acceptance OF an
unweleOme labor and duty which 1t
carries with il. There is also
in the stringency of fear much
that is to be admired. 1t carries with
it great activity and intense prOvoca-
tiOn. But, after all, commend me to
the sweetness and the Inspiration Of
hope. Men who have this faculty
largely developed, though they have
but little education, are children of
the daylight. They are perpetually
alive 10 that which is sweetest and
best in life. 1t is true that hope it.
self has its own peculiar dangers.
The whole generation Of what are
called schemers are children of hope.
They are not balanced by suitable
caution, II Election and development.
Schemers are pioneers of success. We
always laugh at them, and never rec
OgniZe how much we are under Obli-
cations to them. IF you are starting
in an unknown channel, you are not
glad of any mishap to him that goes
ahead of you; but if he ran upon a
sand-bank he is buoy for you, and
you do not go there, anu il another
strikes some obstacle on the other
side, you take note of him, and avoid
that obstacle. You profit by the mis-.
fortunes os the two men, and go be,
tween them. You take the ehanne
that they both meant to take, but
missed. The men VINO go ahead con.
cOct new schemes, seeking something
better, laying the foundation for valu-
able results, although they do not
reap them. To be sure the inventor,
in his day, received nothing from the
invention; but then, that invention
bore fruit in another mans hand, q
little later. 1t is the function, then,
of schemers to 90 ahead; to be piO-
neers; to find new paths; to break
up the wilderness to prepare the
way for those who come after them.
We speak of them slightly; we crown
their memory with contempt, almost;
We say of them, "Well, they had no
ballast; they never succeeded" II
success means to freight ones own
pockets, they did hot succeed; but il
a man has succeeded whose life has
been 8 benefit to his fellow mvu,
whether it his benefited him person
ally or not, then they did succeed

A Female Saviour.

A female saviour and her apostles
are creating a prOdigious sensation in
the southern part Of the Russian EN-
pire. The Russian papers say that
the leader of these women, whose
name is Anastasia Gabaerewiez.
claims to have performed a number
Of miracles, having made the blind
see AMI the lame walk. A vision
first revealed 10 her that she was the
daughter OF God, selected to suffer for
the redemption Of her sex, in the
same way as Christ suffered for that
of the other. Immediately after this
revelation she gave up eating meat
and drinking brandy, and prepared
herself for her mission. The Holy
Ghost then possessed her and gave
her the power to work wonders with
a mere word.
