4 Story About Gov. Hayes.

Hayes and Pendleton, "Gentleman
George" were pitted against each
other for the Governorship of Ohio.
1t was time at which Pendleton
was favorite with the Democrats as
a probable candidate for the Presi-
dency, and his success in the canvass
involved his ability for the higher
candidacy. All day long, while the
election was progressing, Governor
Hayes sat quietly in the house of a
friend in Cincinnati, reading, con-
versing, and seeming the most uncon-
cerned of all. The lady of the house
at last said to him: "How is it, Gen
eral Hayes, that you are so entirely
unexcited about matter which is of
SO much Importance to you?" "To
speak truly said the Governor, l
feel a great deal of sympathy for my
opponent. He has the Presidency as
well as the Governorship at stake. I
have only the one to lose" General
Hayes evidently had no suspicion
that there was more for him in the
turning of that days fortunes than
for his rival. But such is the great
ness of this mans heart. | have
seen him deeply agitated at the story
Of little chlld's danger, and have
heard one VIII had seen him in battle
testify that he was true rs steel, and
gallant as a Bayard.- Correspond

An Effect Before n Cause.

The Christian Statesman relates
the following amusing anecdote: The
"Rev. DR.. Richie, of Edlnburg,
Scotland, though a clever man, has
met his match. When examining q
student as to the classes he had at
tended, he said, "And you attended
the class for mathematics? y es.
'How many sides has circle?
Two said the student. what are
they?' What laugh in the class
the students reply produced when he
said 'An inside and an outside But
this was nothing compared to what
followed. And you attended the
moral philosophy class, also?' Yes
well, you would hear the lectures
on various subjects. Did you ever
hear one on cause and etfect?' yes
Does any effect go before a cause.
Yes Give me an instance "a
man wheeling barrow!" The
Doctor sat down, and proposed no
more questions.

TOM AND LAURA.

When, but a few days ago, the
word went round that the "sweet
girl graduates of Burlington high
school and many other high schools
and colleges in the land were going
to appear in plain calico on COM
mencement day, the English Ian
guagc ran clear out of adjectives
long before popular admiration had
half expressed itself, and the residue
of admiration had to clothe itself in
that convenient, comprehensive, ap-
pllcable to everything, universal fem
mime note of admiration, "nice." y
People whose daughters couldn't af-
ford the expensive dresses which
what the late Mr.. Hamlet termed
"participled" custom demanded for
commencement displays, applauded
and appreciated the delicacy of the
motives which led the wealthier
young ladies to adopt the cheaper
dress; students of political economy,
grave old political philosophers and
the crudite gentlemen whose mission
it is to mystify the American people
by profound discussions on finance,
looked upon the self-denial of the
young ladies as an indication OF o

bar-keeper told him that whisky of
that quality was worth 81 a bottle, he
said he wasn't q bit particular; that
he didn't 60 much on style nohow,
and that he would go to a house
where the bar-keeper didn't wear
diamonds and mistake every custom
er for the owner Of the Manhattan
mill. "Whcn it comes right down
to It," he said, "there amt much dit
ference in whisky; some's a little
better than the other, but it's all
good, and it's only question of time
and a matter of taste, at best"

a Chicken Story.

The Carson Appeal is responsible
tor this tough chicken story: A new
candidate for admission to the Sazerac
Lying Club of Austin put in an ap-
pearance in Carson yesterday. In
fact he has lived here long time,
but only on yesterday did his per-
eminent abilities appear. He listened
for a while to couple of gentlemen

Finally, one asked the other, How
do you get along in the raising of

the response; the hens fight so ter

them that they kill all their chickens" 4"

Carsonite; 81 tried raising game
chickens for years. 1 bought the

Kiss The Babies.
Columbus Dispatch,


Kiss the babies, papas; kiss them
once, twice, thrice, before going out
to your business.
Standing in my front yard one
morning I saw my neighbor-a we'll
known clerk in an important official
position, go out of his gate and down
the street to the office. Suddenly l
l heard a disconsolate cry of child,
and as suddenly l saw that father
turn back, with fathers happy face,
to the gate. There the wee thing
met him, and the smacking that
took place there, can't be written.-
1t did ones heart good to look at it
and see how happily the little one
turned from pa into the house to ma.
Yes, by all means, give the childr, n
a morning kiss; a good, hearty one
dozen of them, And kiss the
mother, too, a good, warm, hearty,
loving kiss; just such kiss as wife
with such baby only deserves to
get. 1t makes his heart all sunshine,
sottens life's asperities, makes work
easy and cares light.
One morning a husband out of hui
NOR left his young wife and babe to
60 to the office in Philadelphia, with.
out the usual kiss. As he passed
the window he saw his wife hold up
the baby to see pa go, and tear
glistened in the mothers eye. His
good nature did not return at once,
but it had got hold of him. He
reached the next corner and came to
stand. He turned, flew to his door,
slipped the night key in, turned soft
ty, entered the parlor and found his
wife reclining on a sofa convulsed
with sobs, pressing baby to her bo
som. All, that was scene over
which we draw the veil. "Woman
can't live without 4 kiss,' No, but
a kindly husbands kiss happities a
loving wife's heart, and makes he,
love more. Yes, yes, let us kiss the
babies, kiss our children, kiss theil
mothers, kiss our wives, and our
hearts and houses shall be all the
better and happier for the kissing.
and society, too, shall feel the power
and purity of a home influence, sur
rounded by the atmosphere of heaven

Tho Heart Of Napoleon.



The very interesting series of arti.
cles entitled "Napoleon at St. He
lena," by one of the Emperor's at
tendants, which have been appearing
IN the 81. lanes Magazine, have
now come to an end with the death
OF the Emperor. Francis Stewart,
the narrator, gives curious account
OF a scene which took place at the
funeral of Napoleon. "I had in my
hands Napoleon's heart, which he
desired Marshal Bertrand to have
embalmed, placed in silver vase,
and AM sent to his son, Napoleon IL
The heart was unusually large, and
very Hat; and before it was soldered
up all of the French servants, by
their own request, saw it, some of
them kissed it, and falling on their
knees offered up prayer. I, wish
ing to do as they did, fell on my
knees, too, which seemed to crafty
them, but of course, as did not un-
derstand what they were praying for,
l said no prayer, neither had | suffi-
clent stomach to kiss the heart. al
though Napoleon had been a kind
master and benevolent friend to me.
Sir Thomas Reade and Sir Hudson
Lowe having seen me on my knees,
the latter said when I came ont, so,
Mr.. Stewart, you have been praying
too; | did not know you were
Papist.' Sir Thomas Reade said,
with sneer, Have you been pray
ing to the devil to take his heart, as
we'll as his body?' mo, SIR 1 re-
piled; there will be no occasion for
any praying to the devil to take your
body and heart, because he has had
them ever since knew you!" Such
conduct as this on the part of Eng
lish officials towards dead enemy
certainly well merited the sharp re-
ply of Stewart, and seemed to Justify
the intense feeling against the guar
dians of Napoleon which is expert
enced by Frenchmen, The story is
most extraordinary one, and deserves
Investigation.

he looked very fixedly at his Honor,

Washington's Temper.


While talking one day to General
Henry Lee, my father happened to re
mark that Washington had tremen'
dous temper, but held it under won
derful control. General Lee break
tasted with the President and Mrs
Washington few days afterward.

"A capital likeness" said the Gener
al. "But Stuart says you have a tire
mendous temper"
"Upon my word, said Mrs. Wash
ington, colormg, Mr.. Stuart takes 8
good deal upon himself, to make such
a remark"
"But stay, my dear lady," said
General Lee, "he added that tho

control.

cral Washington remarked, "He il

Mr.. Stephens Inability to Write.

The Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle in
dulges in the following bit of faceti-
business: "The Darien Timber Ga
sette says: Mr.. Stephens is daily
improving in health. He is movable
to write This is not true. If we
did not know the editor of the Darien
Timber Gazette to be conscientious
and hard-working journalist, we
should say that he had been vaccinat-
ed with the virus of Annanias and
Sapphira. Mr.. Stephens is not able
to write He never was able to
write, and he never will be able to
write. If the editor of the Darien
Timber Gazette had ever received a
letter from the Georgia Commoner
he would never have made such an
audacious statement; if the compost
tors in his Office had ever set up any
OF the Commoner's manuscript, they
would have insisted upon either q
strike or retraction. Mr.. Stephens
does not write He doesn't under
stand the first principles If the art
lie has never learned single rule of
chirography; or if he has, scorns the
knowledge as hungry horse does a
bag of buck-shot. When he feels
like corresponding with any one of
his numerous friends and admirers,
he simply dips his pen in the ink bar
rel, puts a galvanic battery IN connec-
ton with his elbow, and turns the
crank. The result is a sorawl which,
by comparison, would make Horace
Greeley a writing master, and con.
vert the manuscript of Bloss into
copperplate. The famous diplomat,
Talleyrand, asserted that speech was
made to conceal thought. Mr..
Stephens takes issue with the French
statesman, and says that writing was
invented to conceal thought. So far
as his individual experience is con-
cerned, Mr.. Stephens Is eminently
correct. No man has ever been able
to use one of his letters against him,
because no one has ever been able TO
read them. He might write a letter
tomorrow recommending the assaa-
sination OF Queen Victoria, and prove
on trial Of the case that the missive
was an essay upon the proper observ-
ance of the Fourth of July. We
beg again to remind the editor of the
Timber Gazette that Mr.. Stephens is
not now, never was, and never will
be 'able to write.'"

tional prosperity topples to its fall, or
rather is never put up beyond the
ground line. The calico dress, if it
begins at commencement day and
carries on its grand and wonderful
mission from that point, is one of the
grandest factors in the work of econ

day, it is snare, deluslon and a
fraud. And with this closing scene

The prophets are Oh the side of
Governor Hayes, or at least one of
them is. Mrs. Abigail Warren, of
Cincinnati, now so years of age,
wrote to Mrs. Hayes when her hus-
band was elected Governor in 1867,
letter containing the following pre-
diction: "In 1876 r. b. Hayes will
be elected President of the United
States" She has copy of the letter
which reporter has been permitted
to see. She says she was very anx-
ious during the sessions of the Con
vention, but never wavered in her
belief that Mr.. Hayes would be NOM
mated. AS for his election, she says
that is revealed to her as certainty.
