Honesty In Politics.

1t is at once melancholy and amusing to
find a story of political probity, though it may
be Of the cheapest sort, regarded as some
thing so extraordinary as almost to need the
sub sanitation OF an affidavit Mr. George b..
Upton, perfectly respectable old gentleman
o Boston. died the other day. AS Wing
politician, be formerly had considerable
local reputation. particularly iii his own city.
His death has occas;o ued a reproduction of
the fact that long ago, under circumstances
which somewhat tested his honor, he behaved
in perfectly honorable way. 1t appear that
when Marcus Morton, some thirty odd years
since, ran against Edward Everett for the
office of Governor of Massachusetts,, it was
supposed that the last named was elected by
about forty majority.
Mr.. Upton, occupying an official position,
discovered that there had been a mscount,
and that Gov Morton was really elected by a
majority of one. The secret, we are told,
s'was with Mr.. Upton alone, and i'll all proba-
bility would never be discovered. He had
only to keep silence and his party would re-
tain the place in Massachusetts which they
had monopolized so long, and which they
loved SO dearly. Now it is sad and humlia-
ting fact that such a secret as this would, to-
day, be perfectly safe in the keeping Of scores
upon scores Of party leaders. We might
name, if we cared to be personal many a
prominent Republican who, if he had known
at the close of the last Presidential canvass any
fact nyalidating the election Of Gen. Grant,
would hardly have acted as Mr. Upton did
Oh the occasion referred to. He called his
friends together at the fremont House in
Boston.
To strengthen them for the disclosure he
first gave them one OF those good dinners
for which the house was at that time renowned.
Then he told them that the hated Judge Nor
ton was really elected 1t was bitter pill,
for Wing ascendency in that state had seemed
to be as solidly fixed as the everlasting hills.
Morton had been running so long and had
been so often beaten, that he was regarded by
the Wings with certain degree of contempt,
and his annual defeat was considered predes-
innate. But Mr. Upton was man not easily
put down Measures were taken to have tie
error rectifed before the official count and
proclamation had been made. The Wing
party lost their Governor for that year, and
Judge Morton became in the mouths of men

WHY She Couldn't SleeD.

At one of our summer resorts the other
night Il lady of delicate physique was COM
planning that for years she had been unable to
sleep without taking some narcotic. Those
who heard the remark were at first tempted to
condemn her for having frittered away her
strength in the pleasures of society," until her
story, quietly and modestly told, showed that
she had been through scenes OF trial and suf-
fering that might affect the stoutest. TIE wife
Of United States naval officer, it was her
fate. a few years since, to be on her way to
join her husband at some port on the Pacific
coast of South America, at the time of the
great earthquakes and tidal waves that We're
so destructive to life and property upon that
coast.
Her ship had but just dropped anchor in a
Peruvian harbor when the tidal wave came
that wrenched her from her mooring and
swept her over cliff forty feet high into an
inner harbor, while before the eyes of our
heroine, who was seated on the deck, the
populous city fell down as if the block crea-
ton Of child. Fortunately the ship, unlike
it's compeers in the harbor, which were
many Of them dashed to pieces, had steam
enough up to get out to sea with the receding
wave though dry land seemed to pursue her
for space in the rehux Proceeding down
the coast that night, town after town was
found to have been swallowed up by the earth
quake. How for weeks this woman in a
strange land, where she did not speak the
language, sought her husband, not knowing
whether he was alive or dead, and how he at
distant port onged and prayed for, and at
last found her, When she had almost given
him up, how they met soon to part, as he WIS
again called away for months here Is theme
for novelist. The nervous strain on each
has left inetfaceable marks on their lives Is
it any wonder that even in the soothing intiu-
ence of this glorious sea air sleep comes but
slowly to eyes that never close, but to see PIC
tured anew the great rush inland of a mighty
ocean, and to hear the crashing of stone and
timber and the shrieks of despairing human
ity as great city is swallowed up in the earth

OLD-FA, SHICNED FOREVER.
BY ETHEL LINN.

There is change in our dearest traditions,
And now We unlearn by the way,
What our grandfathers patiently taught II:
nlumed by the light Of their day.
50 we give up the mnlstrom of Norway.
A poor little moderate swirl,
William Tell and his archery pra6 tice,
And Orleans brave warrior girl.
Yet one thing deties innovation,
Old-fa shiOned forever and ave,
The baby comes into his kingdom,
Nor changes as cycles go by.
The same bitter cry at life's threshold,
The same little wrinkled. rose palms,
The very same mission Of tumult,
The same quick denial Of shams.
Still he uttcrs his war-cry at midnight,
And slaves of the lamp still arise,
Still the white willing arms Of a mother,
Respond to the clamorous cries.
And the baby, conservative atom,
All ancient tradition has kept,
As he creeps to the verge of destruction,
Just as Nineveh's innocents crept.
Just as an'ediluvian babies
Came battling with foot and with fist,
He comes to be guarded and tended,
He comes above all to be kissed.
For the beautiful. tender old-fashion
or love for the helpless shall bide,
Though the football of history stumble,
And phantoms be shouldered aside.
So the dear. little, old-fashioned baby,
No modern improvement can show,
On the type of the ark CT a died atom,
That hourished long ago.

Some people at the North says the n. Y.
Sun, may imagine that they are not sufferers
by the atrocious robberies which have been
perpetrated upon the people of the recon-
structed States by the human vultures who
have represented the Administration there,
receiving the support and enc Engagement OF
President Grant; but if they think 50 they are
greatly mistaken, for one part of the United
States cannot be brought to ruin by misgov-
eminent and excessive taxation without the
rest OF the country suffering thereby in many
WAYS. There are many manufacturing cities
ana towns in the Northern States whose fu-
,ure prosperity largely depends upon a restor-
alton of the Southern trade which formerly
gave employment 10 numerous mechanics and
factory operatives, but wrich has been
greatly decreased or entirely lost owing
to the Impoverished condition of the
Southern people Millions of dollars in
Southern State bonds are held by Northern
capitalists. which yield no income because the
funds Of these States have been stolen to
enrich corrupt politicians. And the failure of
such States to meet the interest on their
bonds held in Europe is proving ruinous to
American credit abroad. The present scarcity
of money through out the country is owing,
not to a lack OF currency sufficient to meet
legitimate demands, but to the fact that the
management OF public affairs in Washington
and ia most of the Southern States has been
corrupt and Inefficient the great aim of those
intrusted with the highest powers having been
to accumulate wealth for themselves, their
relations and their personal friends, regardless
Of the interests of the people at large. In
order to afford illegal gains to comparatively
a few persons, the whole country Is exorbl-
family taxed and its best interests are mercl-
lessy sacrificed

The enormous rapidity with which railways
have increased in the United States during
the last forty-three years may be seen from
the fact that in 1880, the year from which the
Inauguration of railways in this country may
be said to date, there were only twenty three
miles of railway all told, whereas, at the CLOSE
of 1873. there were TO- 1851 miles of railway ia
operation.

How President Grant Performs Hi
Duties.
from the Washington Capital.7

From the Washington Capital
We questioned gentleman who is on familiar
terms with Gen. Grant as to how this intellectual
parsonage managed to put in his time Our
friend replied slowly as if trying to remember
between sentences
.:Wel, he rises about and smokes. Then he
breakfasts and smokes. After, his secretary
opens his mall and the President smokes"
"Does he ever read the papers?"
"Oh no; his secretary rea IS them and when
he sees Il passage or paragraph likely to interest
the President he marks it. The files thus marked
the President sometimes looks into, but he
seldom gets beyond one, and tins he does not
keep long unless it happens to be sporting
journal. After this intellectual effort he has
visitors.
"And the President listens and smokes 2"
He smokes, certainly but there is a popular
delusion anent that silence. Among his intimate
friends and family he talks incessantly-that is,
if the subject il not political. When politics are
touched he suddenly grows reserved and sinks
INTO silence"
'And after?"
"Weil. then comes an early dinner and more
smoking. After dinner there is q drive of two
and sometimes three hours. Then tea and smoke
After tea more company and more cg.rs. Some
times he INDUCES in walk, and then he is ac-
companied by friend and cigar. After, night
cap and bed.
''Why, does he give no time to affairs Of the
Government"
''My dear friend, he gives all his time here, as
In washington, 10 HlilLeTS. 1ilS Is
done by talking. Our Government is carried on
through talk, in social, pleasant way. Every
man. and sometimes the woman, has an office to
be got, either tor himself or friend. That is
Government business, and he or she talks it at
the President. Or there is contract in ques-
ton. This is Government business of course"
"And so we pay hundred Thousand dollars a
year, directly and indirectly, to have man talk
politics. However, that Is very inoffensive
sort Of way to put i'll the time. How are his
habits ~
mot so good as his occupation. They talk
about third term. The way his Exceilency is
drinking ano smoking it is not likely that he will
live ou5 the second term. Ii he does he pos
sesses a constitution far stronger than that Of
the United States"
" Is 1t not perfectly amazing that such mass
of stolid ignorance and ill-breedlng should be
tolerated by people supposed to be civilized? ?"
" 1t would not be, perhaps, If the Journals 80
prompt to expose the shortcomings OF subordi-
mates such as senators and Secretaries, were to
comment upon and crticIse those OF the Presi-
dent"
-"That IS true" we said. Ono man ever held
Office IN this country who has been so tenderly
treated as this man, with his brood Of brutal
relatives. We have very high opinion of the
people; but if they knew what the citizens OF
Washington generally know, Grant would be
hooted out Of thu White House
