THE RADICAL CANDIDATE FyR
INDLINA.


Godloye S, 0rth, late Minister to Aus
tia, who is now the Republican candi
date for Governor of Indiana, is finding
his connection with the Venezuela bono
swindle, which was so fully exposed in
the Sun year or two ago, a great stumb'
ling block in the way of his aspirations
for the office he is seeking. The worst
oft is that the more that comes to light
upon the subject the more disgraceful
does his connection with the fraud APP
pear, In his attempted explanation OF
his conduct in lobbying for one Of the
holders Of fraudulent claims after he had
been elected to Congress in 1872, made
before a Congressional committee, he
testified that he was acting as attorney
for Ialmage, who was the Commissioner
appointed by the United States to decide
upon the very claims in regard to which
he has since appeared as an interested
party. But when the correspondence
with the State Department was produced,
1t appeared that the name of Talmage
was not mentioned in it at all, but that
Orth protessed to be acting in belief of
one Thos. Brown. Upon this discovery,
Orth made the explanation that Talmage
must have written to him that Brown
was the holder of the certificates which
ne was trying to get paid. 1t seems that
this mysterious Thos. Brown has lately
turned up again. In recent trial in
Anderson, Ind, former clerk in the
bank of the late Thomas N. Stilwell, who
was also largely interested in Venezuela
certificates, upon being confronted with
the name of Thomas Brown in the books
of the bank, was obliged to confess, with
evident marks of confusion, that he knew
of no such person. This shows that Orth
must have been fully aware of the fraud
ulent character of the claim he was press
ing upon the attention of the State De.
partment, otherwise he would not have
pretended to appear as an attorney for a
man of straw. while he at the same time
knew, as his evidence proved, that he
was in reality acting for Talmage The
people of Indiana will want a man for
Governor with a better memory than
Orth, who apparently forgot that he ever
heard of his client Brown until his recol-
lection was refreshed by the production
of his own letters.-N Y Sun.

No SUCCESS WITHOUT WoRK.-When
Charles Dickens said that he had accom-
plished had been achieved by diligent,
patient, persevering application, he only
stated what had been the experience of
every successful man. Nothing is more
important to young men than that they
should early learn and fully. comprehend
this great truth. 1t is step by step, by
toilsome effort added to toilsome effort
that all great and noble achievements are
made
AS has been well remarked, there is
no royal road to learning. Neither is
there any royal road to anything'else' of
great value in this life. Work-steady,
long continued, and regular application
is the only price for which anything
worth having can be bought, There
is no great success of any kind without
great labor.

Webster-Another minister has come
to grief Rev. E. B. Webster, a member
of the Pittsburg M. f conference, and
stationed at GAINESVILLE, Ohio, was last
week convicted Of conspiracy and OBJ
tanning money under false pretenses. He,
with two others, was charged with having
swindled the steward of his church of
SII, 900 by the sale Of bogus patent, it
being alleged that the three talked their
victim into making the purchase while
protracted meeting was going on and
all three were stopping at his the vic
TINS house, the reverend's alleged ac-
completes pretending to be seeking spir-
itual consolation at that time.

THE WEA YER.

Careless the weaver, Time,
Sitting at his mystic loom,
Keeps his arrowy shuttle flying
Every thread anears our dying
Very low and sad withal,
Sings his solemn madrigal
As he weaves our thread of doom.
Mortalsl" thus his weaving sings,
Bright or dark the web shall be
Asye will it; all the tissues.
Or discordant colorings,
Time the shuttle drives, but yon
And elect your destiny.
God bestowed the shining warp;
Fill twith as bright q woof,
And the whole shall grow divinely,
AS if wrought by angels finely
To the music of the harp:
And the blended colors be
Like perfected harmony,
Keeping evil things aloof.
Envy, Malice, Pride and Hate,
FOulest progeny Of sin,
Let not these the weft entangle
With their blind and furious wrangle,
Marring your divine fate;
But with love and deed of good
Be the web throughout enhued,
And the perfect shall he win,
Thus he singeth very low,
Sitting at his mystic loom,
And his shuttle still is flying
Thread by thread anears our dying,
Grows our shroud with every throw;
And the hues of He'll or Heaven
To each thread by us are given,
As he weaves our thread of doom.

LITTLE THINGS.

One step and then another,
And the longest walk is ended
One stitch and then another.
And the largest rent Is mended.
One brick upon another,
And the highest wall is made
One fake upon another,
And the deepest snow islaid.
So the little coral workers,
By their sloa and constant motion,
Have built up those pretty islands,
In the distant, dark blue ocean;
And the noblest undertakings
Mans wisdom has conceived,
By oft-repeated effort
Has been patiently achieved,
A little-tis little word,
But much may in II dwell
Then let a warning voice be heard,
And learn the lesson we'll
The way to ruin thus began,
Down, down like easy stairs;
If conscience suffers little sins.
Soon larger ones it bears.
A little theft, small deceit,
Too often leads to more;
'Tis hard at first, but tempts the feet
AS through an open door.
Just as the broadest rivers run
From small and distant springs,
The greatest crimes that men have done
Have grown froI- little things

A GENTLEMAN.-When you have found
a man, you have not got far to go to find
a gentleman. You cannot make gold
ring out of brass. You cannot change
Cape May crystal to a diamond. You
cannot make gentleman till you first
find man. To be gentleman it is not
sufficient to have had grandfather one.
To be gentleman does not depend on
the tailor or the toilet. Blood will dege-
nerate. Good clothes are not good habits.
A gentleman is just gentleman; no
more, no less; diamond polished that
was first a diamond in the rough. A
gentleman is gentle. A gentleman is
modest. A gentleman is courteous. A
gentleman is slow to take offence, as be-
ing one who never gives it. A gentle
man is slow to surmise evil, as being one
who never thinks it. A gentleman sub
iect his appetites A gentleman re6nes
his taste A gentleman subdues his feel
ings. A gentleman controls his speech.
A gentleman deems every other better
than himself.
Sir Philip Sydney was never so much
of gentleman-mirror though he was of
English knighthood-as when, upon the
field of Zutphen, as he lay in his blood,
he waived the draught of cool spring
water, that was to quench his dying thirst,
in favor of dying soldier.

OVERBOARD THE TEA TT GOES.

The following jingling poem was, in Revolu
tionary times, exceedingly popular, and SUM
with an enthusiasm that added spirit to The namC

We love our cup Of tea quite we'll

Where darkling waters roar;
We love our cup of tea full well
But we love our freedom more,
So then we'll steep our roots and herbs,
And throw yours in the sea,
And let the shrimps and porpoises
Pay your taxes on your tea.
CR0ruS-Then over it goes, my boys
Where darkling waters, &c
We'll let the shrimps and all such like
Drink yours down in the sea

And we'll pay no tax on tea.

But love our freedom more,

THE LESSON OF LLFE.

Charles Kingsley's farewell to child is the
great lesson of life for us all =
My gentle child, I have no song to give you;
No lark could pipe to skies so dull and gray;
Yet, ere we part, one lesson can leave you
For every day.
Be good, sweet child, and let who will be clever
Do noble things, not dream them, all day long
And so make life, death, and that vast for ever.
One grand sweet song

The sidewalks are crowded with them,
