bindings should carefully study the
srxnerience Of q Division street sister.
III her married life she has had an un-
broken struggle with her h. and to
keep herself supplied wit wood, and
the greater part Of the ne has been
obliged to depend U her own deft-
ness with the ak, and any one who
has seen woman handle an'ax knows
what q dreadful thing it is. Two
months ago she begged Of him not to
70 away without leaving her some
kindlings. He said he wouldn't. But
finally did. Then she hit upon a plan
. She had four dozen clothes pins. She
took one dozen of them for starting
the fire, and found that they worked
admirably. The next day she used
another dozen, and so she continued
until the four dozen were gone. Then
she went to the store and purchased
another four dozen-having them put
in the BILL" When they were gone
she repeated the errand. She said no
more to him about kindlings. For ten
years she had kept up the battle, and
now she was tired and sick at heart.
He could go his own way and she
would go hers-patiently, uncomplain-
ingly-until the end would come.
On Monday he signifed at the store
that he would like to settle his &C
count. The bill was made out and
handed him. He glanced down the
items. AS he advanced along the COL
umn his face began to work. First
his eyes slowly enlarged, then his
mouth gradually opened, caused by
the dropping Of his lower jaw; and
wrinkles formed on his forehead. One
third down the column he formed his
lips as if to whistle. Four lines be-
low he did whistle. Halfway down
.3:e said:
"Gra-cious!"
A little further on he said:
"Thunderw
Four more lines were taken in, and
he spoke again:
"By the Jumping Jupiter!'
Then he read on, shifting his thigh
vigorously, and giving vent to various
expressions of the liveliest nature.
Finally he threw the bill down.
II say, Benson, look here; this bill
can't be mine; you've got me mixed up
with some laundry"
THAT'S your bill, sir" said the gro
Ger, smiling pleasantly.
Il tell you it can't be-" persisted the
Division street man, beginning to look
scared. "Why, here's ffty-five dozen
clothes pins in two months bill.
What on earth do you take me for
:. four-story laundaryT
But it is your bill. Your wife can
explain it to you. She ordered the
gins"
"My wife!r gasped the unfortunate
1nan
YES, SIR"
The debtor clutched the bill, damned
it into his pocket and hurried straight
dome. He bolted into the house with
cut any abatement of speed, and fling
ing the paper on the table before his
wife, knocked his hat on the back
part of his head and said:
"Martha Ann johnson, what does
this mean? There are fifty-five dozen
clothes pins in Benson's bill for the
7'ast two months, and he said you Or
dered every blessed one of them"
"And SO I did," said she, demurely.
"W-hartl Fifty-fve dozen clothes
pins in two months!" and he shot
down into chair as if . freight car
lad fallen top Of him. "Fifty-fve
dozen clothes pins in two months!"

RESTORING THE sFATU QUO.
New York Herald.

President Grant having virtually con-
ceded in his message that the late military
interference with the Louisiana Legislature
has no legal Justification, apOlogizing for it
on the ground that soldiers are nOt lawyers,
and that neither he nor Gen. Sheridan was
then ia immediate direction Of the Federal
troops, the quest ion arises as to what steps
should be taken to undo the wrong. If De
Trobriand, who was ignorant Of the law,
blindly put himself under the direction Of
kellogg, whose authority to interfere is
"debatable.'' and doubtless untenable, and
a Legislature was upset and dispersed by
that illegal interference, what is the
proper method Of redress If the
Federal army had not exceeded their
authority the organization under Speaker
Witt would have been maintained and
the House have remained in control Of the
Conservatives. Whether that state Of
things ought to be restored or some other
method Of reparatiOp adopted, IS a ques-
tiOn which we submit to public cOnsldera-
tiou, not caring to discuss it or assume any
position upon it at this stage Of the cOntrO-
versy. If il be admitted that the army
had no. right TO interfere, it would seem to
follow that things should be restored TO the
state in which they existed at the time Of
the interference. But it may be main
tained, on the other hand, that the army
has 10 more right TO intervene to redress
irs wrongs than il originally had to inter
vgLe TO mmit them.

RADICAL DESPERATION.
A Statesman's View Of the Admins
tratiOn and its Designs.
OminOus words from q Private Let
ter 90 ChIef Justiee Nicholson.


OminOus Words from q Private Let
ter 10 Chief Justice Nicholson.
One Of the most distinguished members
of Congress from Tennessee, writing from
Washington to Chief Justice A. o. T..
Nicholson, under date of January y, says !:
.. You will remember when l was at
home that ventured the prediction that
the Radicals would agree upon finance,
revenues and civil rights, and then enter
largely upon the outrage business. Events
are proving the correctness Of my judg-
ment. The end is not yet. When the
Arkansas and Louisiana questions are con
sidered, l think you will be startled
at the demonstrations made upon our
hitherto republican form Of govern
ment. The leaders Of the Republican
party are the most desperate and malicious
set Of men ever at the head Of a Govern
ment. The great fear is that that cOntin-
gency Of public affairs, which many have
believed that Grant has purpOsely played
for, tO-wit: when, in absolute distraction,
the people will accept a stronger Govern
ment, is fast approaching. The great hero
ism J OW being shown BY the people Of
Louisiana seems almost the only hope Of
popular liberty. Gcd preserve them in
their patience. 1t seems proyidential that
they can endure. If perchance they should
strike, no one could tell the end. If per-
chance some act Of folly betrayed them and
our cause, and the cause of free institu-
tiOns, how vain our Tegrets-hOw inc,icu-
liable the injury. Let them stand as now.
The committee from the House, that went
down to Louisiana, will make a report
that will sustain them against the coming
message of the President and the ISLANDERS
Of Phil Sheridan. Let them stand as now
and the Republican party cannot carry the
North. Thoughtful Radicals will not sus-
tain the President. The discOntented poor
who are unemployed will not support a
party who neglect their demands to elevate
the negro. Capital viii grow timid in its
allegiance, and then will join US at the
ballOt-bOx, if only we may reach that
pOint-I say, if only we NAY reach it. The
whole purpOrt Of Grantlsm is now to con-
troll that by the bayOnet. State Govern
menfs are 70 be OverthrOwn Orplaced under
military control, in order to determine the
next Presidential election. Only once in
my life have l ever seen the same deep
anxiety and apprehension in the public
mind, and tLat was in 1881, preceding the
firing upon Sumpter. The proclamation
sought BY Phil Sheridan, had it been given,
would have been that - would it not?
We shall have busy, stirring times from
now till the close Of our session. We must
be right; we must make no mistakes; we
must be cool, prudent, cautious and wise,
and 50 far as / can Judge, all Of our people
feel and recognize this from leaders down
70 privates."
