And this is the way he seems to see

mentioned. Watterson said:

DIsRAELI has made a speech in vindi-
cation of the Ministerial policy in re-
lation TO Turkey and Servia. He was
evidently stung into this by Gladstone's
severe pamphlet attack. His reply to
Gladstone did not really amount to any
thing very positive, and will not prove
acceptable to the British public. The
recent crowded meetings in Lon
don and elsewhere, all denouncing the
Ministerial policy, indicate a feeling too
deep and determined to be set aside by
DisraelPs sighting innuendoes of those
who seek office and all that. In fact, it
would not strike US as strange, after
this persistency on the part Of the
Premier, that change Of Ministry
would be demanded on this Eastern
question, and the position of England
be thereby at once changed on this i'm
portant issue now being contested in
Southeastern Europe.

OUR BANDICTI.-The country is becom-
growing up amongst us bodies of des-
perate men organized as banditti for the
purpose of making raids and commit
ting robbery in the smaller towns of the
Western States. Their proceedings are
not conducted after the manner Of the
common burglar and sneak thief, but by
open-handed assault and armed vio-
lence. Well mounted and full armed,
with no concealment other than masks
to prevent recognition and identified
tion of their persons, they dash into q
quiet and unsuspecting town, present
their revolvers and demand the money
OF the helpless and unarmed citizens.
The examples OF this species of pub
lie robbery are becoming so frequent as
to signify widespread organization
bent upon general plunder. The recent
instance of the robbery of bank and
the murder Of its cashier while defend
ing his trust, in Minnesota; and now
again a like raid upon a merchants
store at Farmingdale, Illinois, whose
safe they robbed of $1,000; both in broad
daylight, and then making good their
escape after trying to kill the telegraph
operator, go 10 show that this plan oil
robbery is becoming systematic.
1t is difficult to find means for the
suppression of these banditti. Our
country is so situated by reason of its
Vastness, and the isolated position of
its towns, and ready ways of escape, as
to be peculiarly exposed to such depre.
dations. Such organized bands of pub
lie robbers long ago infested the coun-
tries Of Europe; and became so mis-
chievous and daring as to require gar
risons to protect the country towns and
villages. In this country a resort to
such means of defense would be quite
impracticable. And the temptation
here to the commission of such depre-
dations is vastly stronger than in any
European country. For here are
banks in almost every consider
able town holding large amounts
in their vaults; and merchants with
much money in their safes. A sudden
dash of mounted men, fully armed, dis
guised, and desperate in their purpose
could at any time surprise and overawe,
for the brief minutes necessary for their
object, all the resistance that could be
commanded; and then depart and dis
appear as suddenly as they came, only
to rendezvous and perform like assault
at a distant place at another time.
Something must be done to suppress
this kind of daring villainy, which is evil
IDENTIFY increasing, and will increase if
suffered to proceed with the impunity
that now emboldens such attacks. sum-
mary punishment under the code OF
Lynch would be none too good. But it
is necessary to catch your flea before
you can kill him.

The Centennial Exposition is now

fore its close in registering one hundred

one thousand the greatest number ever

Love is day, sweetheart, shining and bright:
1t hath its rose dawn ere the morning light;
Its glow and glory OF the sudden sun;
Its noontide heat, as the swift hours wear on
Its fall OF dew, and sllver-lighted night;
Love is day, sweetheart, shining and bright.
1t hath its spring Of bud, and bloom. and leaf;
Its summer, burning from the fervid South,
Till all the fields lie parched, and faint with
drouth;
Its autumn, when the leaves sweep down the
gale,
And skies are gray, and heart and spirit fail I:
Its winter, white with snow, more white with
grief;
Love is a year, beloved, bitter and brief.

Did Not Know Her Age.

Tabitha Sargent-"Aunt Tabitha" we
all called her-was spinster OF uncer-
tain age, residing in the upper part of
Oxford county, Maine. She might have
been fifty-she might have been more
she might have been less-no one save
herself could tell, and she wouldn't. She
had been repeatedly asked how old she
was, and had as often informed the in
quirer that it was nobody's business but
her own.
Once upon time Aunt Tabitha was
summoned as o witness in case on trial
at the fall term of the Supreme Court,
held at Paris-and an important witness
she was. She was to testify for the plain
tiff Charles B. Cummings was counsel
for the defense. CT think it was Charles)
and said Charles:
Now I'll make Aunt Tabitha tell US
her age. Wait, and see"
We waited.
Tabitha had given her testimony-di-
rect terse and strong and was turned
over for cross-examination.
What is your name2" asked Cum
mings, with severe dignity.
II told it to Mr.. Hastings" answered
the witness with a snap.
ITO be sure-but wish to know that
have it right"
MY name is Iabltha Sargent.
Miss Sargent, you will not forget that
you are under oath. Where do you now
resideP'
"In Andover"
How old are your
"Eh2-what, sirP'
What is your ageP'
"I-don't-know,- ,-sir"
Don't know your own age?'
mo, sir" Tabitha replied. firmly, but
with sharp twinkle Of her keen gray
eyes. II have not the least recollection
of the circumstance of my birth, and con-
sequently couldn't swear to its date.
may have heard other people speak of it.
but don't s'pose I'm here to tell what
other folks say about things that haven't
got nothing whatsomever to do with this
case So, Mr.. Charles Cummings, if il
would be any satisfaction to you, tell
you, once more, / don't know"
While Judge Kent ducked his head
for few moments, Tabitha gathered
herself for the next onslaught. But
there was no need. She had vanquished
Charles B. as he never had been van
quished before.-[ New York Ledger
