THE Statesman of the 30th says: The
law of 1870, in regard to Texas vete-
rams, expires to-day, and the new law
gives them but one hundred and fifty

swear they cannot live without it.

Not mr.. Curtis Opinion Of the Bay
State.
Utica IN. " Observer

lOtiCa ~ obScINcl'i
Mr.. Curtis begins by burning incense
to Massachusetts, which, he declares,
wrought the miracle of America"
This is the Massachusetts which
drowned the witches, slit the ears of
the Quakers, and banished the Bap-
lists; the Massachusetts, which furnish
ed no great soldier to the revolution,
and no great statesman to the first
councils of the republic; the Massa-
chusetts that clamored for twcntyyears
for the slave trade under the constitu-
ton, that her thrifty people might line
their pockets before they paraded their
philanthropy; the Massachusetts that
has proved herself always toady to
England and a snake to the south,
originating credit mobiliers and furn-
ishing thieves for senator's seats in the |
reconstructed states. The miracle of
America is this, that the wings of lib
erty were large enough to cover peo-
pie whose idea of hell Ito quote Chan
ning) was a place where man could
have his own way.

agitation was evidently great.

said in faltering accents and if l sepa-
rate from Mr. Willis shall need you for
witnesses. Wait moment. will send
for him.
This was more than the ladies had bar
gained for, but retreat was impossible
Mrs. Willis left the room, and returned
with her face hidden in her handkerchief
There was some silence in the room, and
as the time passed on, Mrs. Martin began
to wish herself safely at home, but Mrs.
Glenn was of frmer stuff and braved the
matter out better.
Half an hour passed then-a latch-key
was heard in the hall door. 1t opened

step--nay the steps of two persons crossed
the hall. The parlor door opened, and Mr.
Willis strobe in, followed by young lady
the very young lady who had been the
subject of their communication pretty
girl, and very like Mr.. Willis himself.
And now Mrs Willis arose with face as
bright as it had ever been in all their re-
membrance of it's brightness, and turned
toward them.
"Ladies," said she, "allow me to intro
duce my step-daughter, Adele Willis
She has been with grandmother in France
until lately. You know, or do not know,
that Mr.. Willis first wife was a French
lady, and she has just come to us. AS
was absent, the hotel was pleasanter to her
than the empty house, and so she has
stayed there until to-day. She is just
fourteen. The ladies thought you quite
sixteen, you are so tall, Adele and 1 am
very glad to have her with me-"
Mrs. Glenn arose /; and so did Mrs. Mar

" Yes, to be sure,' said Mrs. Martin !;
delightful of course" and hurried out of
the room.

take" said the brave Mrs. Glenn. "I
hope you will bear no enmity."
"None at ALL" said Mrs. Willis. "I
have been very much amused"
But Mrs. Glenn and Mrs. Martin were
not amused, l fear and that very night
they quarreled so violently about the mat
ter, each blaming the other as instigator,
that neither ever spoke to the other again.

Only Half Price.

Everybody remembers Mcdonald Clark,
who was well known in New York, few
years since, as the "Mad Poet" During
the last years of his life Clarke was made
free of the Astor House table, and often
times this errant man of genius could be
seen accepting its hospitalities when other
doors were closed on his fallen fortunes.--
Everybody knew Clarke by sight and one
day, while quietly taking his dinner, two
travellers, seating themselves opposite,
commenced conversation intended for the
ears of Clarke. One said
"Well, have now been in New York
two months, and seen all wish with one
exception"
"Ah ?" said the other, "what is that ?"
"M'Donald Clarke, the great poet, re-
sponded No. l, with strong emphasis.
Clarke raised his eyes slowly from his
plate, and seeing the attention of the table
was on hin, stood up, placing his hand
over his heart, and, bow with gravity to
the strangers, said
81 am M'Donald Clarke, the great
poet"
The traveller startled in mock surprise,
gazed at him in silence for few moments,
then amidst an audible litter of the com
pany drew out quarter dollars and
laying it before Clarke still looked at him
without smile. Clarke raised the quarter
in silence and with dignity, bestowed it in
his pocket, drew thence shilling, which
he deposited before the traveller with these
works :.
"Children and fools half price,"
The litter changed to roar, and the
travellers were missing instanter.

Are You HOnestH

l don't mean by this question, to ask you
if you steal money or other we'll recognized
property. There are other ways of being
dishonest. If you sell man six bushels
Of grain, and give him only five, taking
pay for the whole six, you know you are
no better than thief. If you hire a man
for stipulated sum to work for you for
week Or year, and he gives you only a
portion of his working time, does he not
defraud you of what is of the same value,
as the money you pay for that time. Many
young man who would scorn to be
thought thief, is thoughtlessly stealing
what belongs to his employer. He is TAX
ing time for his own use which he has sold
to another, and is therefore no longer his
own. So, before answering the above
question, If an employee, ask yourself if
you do not sometimes use time that be-
longs TO your employer and resolve in
future, that you will not take his time for
your individual use, any more freely than
you would his money. When you act on
this principle, you can answer the above
question in, the affirmative, and not till
then can you claim to be truly AOnsst.

Strike of ODeratives.

Fall River River, December 30. There is con-
siderable excitement here over the threatened
strike of mill operatives in case they are obliged
to accept the proposed reduction in wages. The
Spinners association resolved to strike, providing
1000 operatives will sign the agreement
There was crowded meeting of the weayers
at Temple Hall this evening, to consider the pro-
posed reduction. Resolutions were passed declar-
ing that if compelled to accept the reduction it
would be under protest, and an appeal was made
TO the agents to continue the present system of
short time, rather than to enforce the reduction.
The resolution passed at the spnners' meeting, to
withdraw their savings from the banks, was en-
dorsed.
A meeting of the spinners at Mathew Hall, this
evening, called to hear the report of the del
egation appointed TO confer with the agents. 1t
was resolved to accept the report with the under
standing that the reduction be accepted under
protest, and that preparations be made for strike
in the spring.

Investigation Of Louisiana AT
fairs at New Orleans.
Meeting Of the Sub Committee
Investigation Begun.

| New Orleans, December 80. The Congression-
al subcommittee, consisting of Foster, Phelps
and Potter, to investigate the Louisiana affairs
met here to-day. They decided to confne the in.
vestigation to the returning board and the White
League.
Members of the returning board and others
were examined as to the law and the mode OF
proceeding under it. Nothing new was develop
ed
At the night session Packard, White and Burke
of Orleans Parish, and Kniblack Of Lafourche
were examined.
Packard stated that he knew of the organization
of the White League before September, 1874 be.
lieved it extended throughout the State; believed
there were from 5000 to 1000 republic ans in New
Orleans-less in proportion to the voters than in
any other portion of the State. lts believed that
the colored voters were inundated, some by
threats of violence, others by threats Of discharge
refusal to lease lands to blacks, &C.
Mr.. Packard stated that he did not believe that
the republican State government could maintain
itself in this or any other Southern State without
the protection of United States troops.
Mr. White testified as to the registration and
election in his district, of hundred and eighty
conservatives were stricken from the registration
ros who were entitled to vote, and the authorities
refused to strike off the names of several hundred
fraudulent registered negroes, although they
promised to do 80.
Kniblach testified regarding the recent regis
that there was intimidation or anything of the
kind, and l20 negroes voted the conservative
ticket. The returning board refused to throw out
40 tickets that were fraudulenty stuffed into one
box, and the conservatives carried the parish by a
small majority, but the fraudulent votes also
counted for treasurer.
The object of the committee evidently is to in
vestigate thoroughly the recent election beginning
with registration and ending with the returning
board.
