THE TROOPS IN THE CRISIS.

1t is inhamatory to follow every
movement of a squad of troops to
keep the peace, with vindictive
cries that this work Of the peacema
kers is the mechanism Of despots.-
Cincinnati Commercial.
1t was precisely this kind of in
fiamatory sensiti' eness which has
preserved Saxon liberty. What
measure of freedom we enjoy in this
county is the result of following every
movement of a standing army, of a
squad of troops with vindictive cries
which had to be needed. 1t is be-
cause England would at no period
be ruled by troops that we have
liberty and that they have preserved
theirs. We have departed from the
teachings of our fathers. Troops
are only the machinery of the des-
pot. The brainless arm of power
that knows no discretion, that has no
will, that simply obeys orders Of pow
er and never questions, is blind as
the blind worm. 1t stings as reck~
lessly. 1t is as deadly. Whenever
peace has to be preserved by troops,
better there should be no peace, and
that society should exhaust itself
and work out its salvation through
disorder than the enforced peace
through the mechanism Of the des-
pot, the blind machinery of power.
We grant the impartiaity Of the
army. 1t is mere mechanism. 1t
has no mind, no soul. 1t is impair
tiaI in the main. 1t strikes at the
bidding of the power wherever it ia
directed. Its directing force is not
impartial. Troops for Indians and
shcriffs for civilized people.

To the People Of tie State
In Offering to our people my
heartfelt congratulations and graft
tude for the grand victory they
have won, | venture to beg them to
prove themselves worthy of it by
continued observance of good order
and rigid preservation of peace
Let US show that we seek only the
restoration of good government, the
return OF prosperity and the estab>
lishment of harmony to the whole
people of cur State. In the hour of
victory we should be magnanimous,
and we should strive to forget the
animosities of the contest by recalls
ing the grand result of our success
Prescribing mono for difference OF
opinion, regarding none as enemies
save such as are inimical to law and
order, let us all unite in the patriotic
work of redeeming the State. BY
such conduct we cannot only bring
about good feeling among all classes,
but can most surely reap the best
fruits of victory.

A MISER OUTWITTED.

1t was observed that a certain
covctous rich man never invited
any one to dine with him.
"I'll lay a wager" said a wag, II
Get an invitation from him"
The wager being accepted, he
goes the pext day to the rich
mans house, about the time he was
known to sit down to dinner, and
tells the servant that he must then
speak to his master, for that he could
save him thousand dollars.
"Sir," said the servant to his mas
ter, "thero is a man in great. hurry
wishing to spea ak with you, who says
says he can save you a thousand
dollars"
Ont came the master -
"What is that you say, sir that
you can save me q thousand dollars =

are at dinner; will go myself and
dine, and call again"
ooh, pray, sir, come in and dine
with me-"
"Sir, shall be troublesome"
"Not ct all"
The invitation was accepted. AS
soop as dinner was over
"Well. sir" said the man of the
house, "now to our business. Pray
let me know how | am to save
thousand dollars 7"
"Why, sir" said the other, 81

"And that you intend to portion

"Why, then, sir, let me have her,

A DAUGHTER WORTH HAVING,

The kind of daughter to have is
the one whom William Butler Dun
can, the ruined New York merchant,
recently found he had. For two or
three years, during the summer
months, drivers and equeStrians on
the public thoroughfares Of Staten
Island have met a young lady cques>
TRAN, accompanied by an orderly,
whose elegant figure and superb
Workmanship elected general admi-
ration. She had everything from
infancy that heart could wish, and
was supposed by those who knew
nothing to the contrary to be a gay
butterfly of fashion. But soon after
the suspension of her fathers firm,
unbeknown to her family, she under
took the translation of work which
was attracting not little attention
in Germany. Secretly she kept at
her task, night and day. When it
was completed, she went alone to tie
largest publishers in the city, sub
mitted her manuscript for inspection,
and a few days later made contract
for the publication of the volume.
When. the first copy was printed she
placed it in her fathers hands, and
telling him what she had done, exN
pressed the hope that she could con-
tribute something toward relieving
his financial troubles. The transla-
ton has proved IL decided success.
1t has met with la~ge sale, and the
royalty already paid to the devoted
daughter has amounted to a consid-
cradle sum.

GOING TO TIE WHITE HOUSE

Mr.. Tilden will go into the White
House with a noble ambition to win
lasting fame as the President who
harmonized a country distracted by
sectional animosities. who made
stronger than ever the bonds of the
Union, and who helped to swell the
tide of his coun.ry's prosperity. His
aims are statesmanlike, and his train
ing we'll fits him for the high place
to which the people have elevated
him. Samuel J. Tilden will doubt
less go down to history as one of our
strongest Presidents.

TRUTH.

How beautiful is truth In this
world where there is so much false
hood and deceit, whereby hearts are
estranged, determinations, assaults
and crimes engendered-how beau
tiful arc true words and deeds. -
Like the sun, smiling out amid the
angry storm-like the bright stars
shining through the heavy cloud -
like friend clasping the hand of
friend-like right rebutting wrong
like the lance of virtue ringing on
the shield OF peace-like heaven
upon earth, and God in man, is
truth Precious and priceless. -
Dearer than the smile of friend, love
of parent, or pomp of fame. Truth
is all. BY this we know the nature
and value OF things. Falsehood is a
craven, a bastard. Truth is bold,
noble and GOd~given-beyond every
other attribute of the soul.

TIE Boy AND THE HoT CHEST
NUTS. A small urchin, Just large
enough to wear pants, and probably
with his first pair on with pockets,
stepped up to street stand and pur-
chased five cents worth of hot roast
chestnu,s. The chestnut vendor,
plying his tender years, assisted his
customer to empty the measure into
his little pockets Soon the nuts
began to feel warm they become
uncomfortable they burn, and the
little fellow could stand it no longer,
and commenced to cry and dance
up and down with pain. The chest
nut vendor tried to extract the nuts,
but his hand was too large to get in
to the pocket. The cries and antics
of the sufferer increased. The Ital-
ian became excited, and, with COM
mendable ingenuity, seized the boy
by the heels and shook him, head
down, until the chestnuts rolled out
on the sidewalk. With tears of Joy
the boy went in search of his part
