in controlling the action of their own party.
Their most powerful engine for exerting such
influence is their ascendancy over public
opinion, by which they can bring o strong
pressure to bear on members from their con-
stituents. In the next place, Cabinet of
great ability is more likely than Congress
to reach sound and sagacious views
and the force of truth and reason
is apt to make an impression. In
the third place, the Executive has patron
age for which the constituents of members are
applicants, which is great resource in the
hands of vigorous, united Cabinet which
takes an interest in the passage of good laws
The President is not merely the Executive;
he is an important part of the legislative
power. 1t is his duty to examine all bills,
and none can become law without his ap-
provl except by two-thirds vote of both
two Representatives should be unani-
nous for bill and fifty of the seventy
six Senators should also vote to repass it, the
President with the support Of the other
twenty-six Senators, can defeat the
will of three hundred and forty-two
legislators He has also an unlimited power
to propose new laws, and can argue their
merits to any extent he pleases in his an
nual or special messages. Possessing so large
share of the legislative power, he is more
responsible for Legislative measures than any
hundred men in Congress, and it is accord
ingly his duty to maintain around him Cab
met of such mark and influence as will give him
efficient aid in the discharge Of this great
trust.
Since the country has passed an emphatic
sentence of condemnation on his administra-
tion President Grant owes 1t to himself to in.
quire wherein he has failed and try to rectify
his mistakes Such an inquiry, If fairly made,
Will show him that his chief error has con.
sisted in not composing his Cabinet on the

THE FIRST SpAT BETWEEN QUEEN
VIC, AND THE "LrrTLE TARTAR. 1t
appears that the Queen, in going out
drSTing tho first time the Duchess Of
Edinburgh accompanied her, placed,
as usual, the Princess Of Wales be-
side her on the back seat, 80 that the
Duchess and her spouse were forced
to sit opposite, with their backs to
The horses, which was all very well
for the Duke, he being q man in his
moth er's carriage; but the proud and
petted daughter of all the Russias
had no idaa of being made to yield
the first place to any one. On her
return from TIE drive, therefore, she
informed Queer Victoria that she
had never occupied the front seat in
q carriage before, and would not
submit to be placed there again.
The Queen reminded Me irate duch-
cas- that the Princess @f Wales, as
the wife of the heir to thI8crown and
the future Queen Of England, was Of
course entitled TO take precedence
over the wife of her second son, and
that, moreover, the Princess Bep-
trice, as an unmarried princess, stih
under the Immediate protection Of
the Queen, was entitled to take
precedence over any Of the other
female members of the royal family.
''Remember that / am the daughter
of the greatest sovereign on the
earth, Of the Gar Of Russia. " To
this the Queen responded: II
acknowledge no earthly sovereign as
my superior" So there the matter
rests, and the Duchess Of Eding-
burgh was not present at the Queen s
last drawing-room, ostensihlyN on
account Of illness.

SMART Doaa.-We often hear sto-
ries Of the wonderful intelligence Of
dogs, but the canine residents of q
town in Maine must certainly be
awarded the palm, Judging from the
following vote passed at the last
town meeting: "Voted that the AS
SCISSORS assess one dollar on each dog
kept in town, and any dog that does
NOT pay, to be shot by the town
agent" Can any one imagine o
prettier sight than a procession OF
well fed, sleek, household pets
marching into the Office Of the town
agent, each with silver dollar be-
tween his teeth, and proudly
and gleefully laying the coin at
the feet of this great manP or a
more affecting one than that OF the
poorer ours, who, unable, to gather
the requisite number Of pennies,
slink into the presence Of the dis
penser Of death, and, reading their
doom in the expression Of his face,
walk heorically into a corner Of the
room and await the beginning Of his
pistol practice upon them with calm
resignationT

A Jolly JEsT.-Certain circles are
going about a trick recently played
upon a city official somewhat addict
ed to the use of Intoxicating bever-
ages. Once or twice he had pushed
his excesses to the virge of mania,
and being possessed of many excel
lent qualities, was gorgeous and
brilliant, and but for this single vice

aspired TO. His friends had exhaust
ed every possible means to redeem
him, unsuccessfully, and three or
four of them a short time ago con-
cluded they would impress him with
the idea that he had mdaiG a potu.
To accomplish this purpose they got
him into 0 room in which they had
previously introduced a chicken,
Conversing quietly for o few mo-
ments, his eyes finally rested on the
rooster perched on a desk, evidently
somewhat excited in his unusual
retreat.
"Why, hellol how come that
chicken in here2"
"What chickenH" inquired one Of
his friends.
"Why, there, on the desk"
"I 500 no chicken"
"Nor IT.

friends,

Every now and then the world is

buried alive, and to-day we are the
recipients from Salt Lake Of q most
painful history, wherein a young man
Is said TO haye been inferred while in

efforts being made for his resuscita-
tion. Tho details of the shocking
event are to be found in another col-

from it demand careful thought and
attention,
The advocates of cremation are
prone to draw an argument in favor
Of their theory from these terrible ac-
cidents, although it is net easy 70 see
in what way the haplesS sufferers
would be benefited by being burned
Instead Of buried alive. The alter
native is somewhat painfully like that
which the two gendarmes proposed
TO "Qenevive do Brabant." "Will you
be drowned or die?' and the unhappy
subject OF it might find an answer
difficult. 4
Whether we are to burn or bury
our dead, it is quite certain that there
is no excuse for disposing OF them
before we are sure that life has
ceased. The painful signs of docpm
position are upmistakable, and can
never occur in the slightest degree
whore life still remains, Until some
token Of decay is visible, the appaT'
