LAFAYETTE's REPUBLIcANIsM.-l his
recent speech before the French Acade-
my, Jules Simon recalled well-known
episode of revolutionary history. Ac>
cording to the favorite tradition. La
fayette presented Louis Philippe to the
the people assembled at the Hotel de
Vile, after the Three Glorious Days
SAYING. as he pointed to the prince
"Tnere is the best of republics. Etien>
ne Arago has now been inconsiderate,
enough to prove, on the authority OF
Nj. Sarrans, that the phrase ascribed to
the General and the occasion of his ut
tering it are equally Legendary. What
Lafayette did say, in speaking of the
monarch of July. was. sit is the near
est thing to republic we could man
age" Subsequently he took the OPP
portunity afforded him by a public
banquet to ''rectify an expression which
had been attributed to him by error in
several journals" Lafayette even add
ed, with some warmth: "It would not
be for one who has declared himself,
even in this age.a a disciple of the Ameri-
can school-for the friend, the associate
(if may be so permitted to call myself)
of the Washingtons. the Franklins. the
Jeffersons-to say that the arrangement
We effected was the best of republics,
although we believed it calculated to
fulfill the expectations and to promote
the welfare of the nation"

Be honest and you will be poor.
Be virtuous and you will be sus-

Be prosperous and You will have

Be unfortunate and you will have

Be tender-hearted and loving, and

Be deceitful and practice dissim-

Return evil for good, for this is

Endure with meekness the abuse

Trust all men who profess friGlds

If you wish to gain a reputation
as an Independent man and reform

nality."
Despise petty pilferings, for a
man is measured by the greatness Of
his "grab."
If you wish to be regarded as ''a
man of liberal views" ridicule
Christianity, and always refer to the
clergy with contemptuous sarcasm.
If you seek the admiration of the
fair sex, get yourself up regardless

act like "a man of the world"
If you like to be envied by "the

If you want to be distinguished

If you have been guilty of a great

We were ordered to make detail
for picket duty, and, as the Pawnees
were doing nothing in particular,
we thought we'd give them a turn,
My sergeant took half a dozen OF
them with the guard, and, reaching
the picket post, explained that they
would be two hours on and four
hours Off duty. He said to the Paw
nee chief:
Look at this watch. 1t IS now
six o'clock. When the short hand
goes around twice, you will call me
and be relieved. Do you understand
me?"
"Hey-hey goodr' said the In
dian, and stalked away.
The sergeant, who was very tired
