who never pays his notes when they
are due, and who shuns the payment
ofhis bills when it is possible, and
does both things as a habit, and 1
shall see d man whose moral chrrac-
ter is, beyond all question, bad. We
have had illustrious examples of this
lack of business exactness. We have
had great men whose business habits
were simply scandaloas-who never
paid their bills. unless when urged
and worried, and who expended for
their personal. qualification every
cent Of money they could lay their
hands upon. These delinquencies
have been apotogized for as among /.
the eccentricitiesof genius, or as the
unmindfufness of smallaffairs which
naturally attends all greatness of in
tellect and intellectual effort; but the
world has been too easy with them
altogether. Icould name great men
and the na1esof some of them rise
before the readers of this letser-who
are atrociously dishonest. I do not
care how many amiable and admira-
bic traits they possess. They were
dishonest and untrustworthy intheir
business relations and that simple
fact condemns them. I am ready to
believe any bad Of a man who habit
tally neglects 20 fulfFl his business
obligations. Such man iscertainly
rotten at heart. He is not to- be trus-

wider than ever, and with Thank
zee. SIR as if he were the one who'd
received e favor, swung the basket to
his shoulder and went off with a
springy step, in marked contrast with
his ordinary slow, heavy movement.
The unexpected promptness and
cheerfulness with which his hired
man seconded this thoughtful kind
ness toward the widow was another
element Of satisfaction. Thomas was
apt to be a little cross at times, and
especially when called upon for some
unusual service and Mr.. Brill had
looked for a cloudy face and a sullen
manner VIXEN he gave his sorder. He
gazed after the man as he went hur-
rying away, wondering at his chang
ed demeanor. He was still sittiagin
the porch when Thomas returned.
well, Thomas, and what did Mrs.
Sloan say?'
'oh, sir, l can't tell you how STIR
prised and happy she was; and she
told me to thank you thousand
times
win she pare and dry them for
winter?'
Indeed ard she gils s;r,a.shs, sat i.
right down and went to work whileI
was there, and says she'll have have
'em all out on the shed drying to-
morrow morning. 1t was real kird
and thoughtful in YOU, sir. 1t'ssu j,
a pity to have things 50 to vast,
when so many would be glad to get
them.
Master and man were buster than
usual in the summer and autumn
days that followed, not alone in gath
ering and storingof their abundance,
but in gathering and dispensing as
well. Nothing was permitted, as in
other years, to go to waste. The bush
els and bushels of apples which had
once rotted under the trees; the oye-
supply of fturnips andotherroot crops
which had lain unused in the cellar
or storehouse, were all distributed to
the poor and there. was plenty
through the winter in many an hum
bic home where in former seasons
pinching need had bees felt.
There was heartiness about him
never seen before. His old srudges
against some of his neighbors died
out. He would stop men in the road
for pleasant chat whom for years he
had passed with a distant nod. The
farmer had found new pleasure, the
Joy of which was pervading his
whole being and its sunshine warm
ing and softening the cold, hardexte-
rior of his life and making it attrac-
tive and beautiful.
And he never lost the glow of this
pleasure in all the years that were
added to his life; ard when st last his
work was done and he lay in that
deep sleep which has no waking in
time, there we.c hundreds to- bless his
name and to look their last look on
his peaceful face with eyes that ran
over with fears.

Considerable excitement was created
in the North Carolina House of Repre- :
sentatives Monday by the action of two
Republicans in that body. Oneof them,
w. Il. Glenn, of Yadkin, brother-in-
law of Judge Settle, introduced reso-
lutions strongly prOte sting against the
passage by the United States House of
Representatives of the Civil Rights bill,
and calling on their white brethren
who have heretofore adheared to the
Republican party to sever their con-
nections with it, in consequence. Mr..
Glenn spoke in advocacy of the resou-
tions, and was supported by j. H..
Foote, another prominent Republican.
The resolutions were than postponed
until to-day. In concluding his speech,
hr. Glenn announced his withdrawal
from the Republican party, and adher-
ence to the Democratic. 1t is said q
number of other Republican members
will follow his example.
A curious case of assumption of sex
was lately discovered in Paris. A pen
stoned officer named Senkeisen, nearly
eighty years old, fell i'll and had to be
taken to the Neckar Hospital. There
the doctor in charge discovered that the
officer belonged to the female sex. Her
secret being thus detected, the "vie lie
de la vielle" no longer hesitated giving
the story of her life. She was fourteen
when she lost her father, Bavarian
colonel. Her grandfather, Gen. Baron
Won Senkeisen, had the command of q
Bavarian army corps Bavaria was then
the ally of France. By some unexplain-
ed whim, this grandfather forced her to
enlist in one of the regiment of his divi-
sion. She advanced rapidly in the cam
paigns of Germany and Spain, and was
wounded twice, and severely, at Water
loo. She was then admitted in the
hospitals as an officer of the second
class. In 1880 she took service again,
and went to Algeria;in 1888 she obtain
ed French naturalization and a pension.
This woman has glorious character to
boast of, having received letters of con-
graduation on her valorOus deeds from
Marshals Berthier, Augereau, Suchet,
and Gen. Dupont, who was sentenced
to death for having capitulated at Bay
len with 10000 men.

The establishment of a new Mint
was recommended by the President in
the Financial Message he sent to Con-
gress at the time of his approval of the
recently passed Finance bill. There
seems to be strong unanimity of opn-
ion in the Western country in favor of
the establishment of this mint, but great
contrariety of claims as to the one best
place for its location. Before the Fl.
nance Committee of the Senate claims
for it were recently presented by per-
sons representing Chicago, St. Louis.
indianapolis, Omaha and Cincinnati.
Until these numerous, active, enterpris-
ing and Aourishing cities come to some
understanding among themselves, Con-
gress will do the wisest thing by hold
ing the matter in allegiance; particularly
as the Government was recently so
over-suppliei with minting establish
ments that is felt constrained to dispose
of some of them at considerable loss:
and more particularly as the existing
mints appear to be quiet equal to the
demands upon them.

attention to this subject. The difficult
ty there grows out of the Brooks. Bax-
ter War;" last year. Baxter then tri-
umphed, and remained in possession of
the Office of Governor without any mo-
lestation further than by appeals from
the opposite faction for interference
from Washington. The Baxter party
called convention, who framed new
Constitution, the Brooks party not par
ticipating in the formation of this ms
trument, or in the subsequent popular
election which ratified it. Under this
new Constitution, and at the same elec.
tion at which it was ratified, Garland,
the present Governor of Arkansas, was
chosen, and he peaceably succeeded
Baxter. For some time past commit
tee of five members of the House, Judge
Poland, of Vermont, being the chair
man, have been investigating this sub
ject, and, last week, four out of the
five presented report describing the
various events above recouuted, and
stating that "the Committee do not re-
recommend any action by Congress, or
by any department Of the general Gov
ernment in Arkansas" From this re-
port, one member, Mr.. Ward, Repub.
lican, of Illinois, dissented, and he pre-
sented minority report. stating that
Brooks is still legal Governor of the
State. The intelligence from Washing
ton seems to indicate that Congress will
not interfere in Arkansas, but will let
matters remain as they are.
