Western Assaults on the East.

The language of some western intla-
ton orators IN congress Is as insulting
toward the east as was that of fire eaters
before the civil war toward the north
Had we not had a costly lesson IN this
generation of the horror and folly OF
sectional strife, the insolence of some
of these demagogues would be likely to
provoke another sectional struggle
When they talk of the money power
of the east" as monster seeking whom
it may devour; when they describe The
"bloated bondholders' as enemies OF
the country; when they speak of the
and wreckers;" when they abuse men
like Chittenden in this way on the floor
of the house; when they accuse the
men whose skill, power and industry
keep the great work of business in this
country IN motion, overcoming all diff
culties and meeting all risks, who wear
out their health and their lives by their
devotion to commercial duty-when
they style these men sharpers and
plunderers, they grossly insult the whole
east whose life and force these men are
and their words would expose them to
chastisement if they did not bring them
into contempt The ignorance that
such impudence implies is amazing, and
If it is not due to ignorance it places
those who utter it beyond the pale OF
social recognition. Did these utterances
represent the real feeling Of the west,
the best thing the east could do would
be to close up all western transactions
on the best terms to be had, and refuse
to lend or invest dollar at the west
thenceforth; which would be most
effective penalty. u. S. Economist

dy.. Such display of dirty family lin
en- Is a deep and ineradicable disgrace
But If the viii should be broken the
public might we'll pardon the offensive
ness OF the case, for it is for the good of
the country that vast monopies of
wealth should be broken, and that great
estates should be divided up. The grasp
ing commodore had a mania for peT-
petuatlng his monopoly, and selected
his son William as the agent through
whom to work his purpose after death.
The law justly looks with disavor upon
an eccentric will, although it cannot be
broken without proving that it would

Keep the Little Girls Legs Warm.

We have observed few things about
the way little girls are dressed for winter
that we want to call attention to.
Generally, mothers are careful 10 clOthe
their little girls warm, careful to see
that they have warm cloaks, and warm
comforters to wrap around their heads
-overshoes to keep their feet warm
but fashion commands that the limbs,
from the knee to the ankle, shall be ex-
posed, and nothing but tight, neat
fitting stocking worn by the child.
Very often the stocking is thin cotton.
Such fashion is barbarous, and is the
cause of sickness and death in hundreds
Of cases. If you value your little dar-
lings health, clothe their limbs warm
and comfortable as you do their bodies,
feet and head. Don't permit fashion to
make martyrs of your rosebuds and
then growl at an unkind Providence.
When we see child whose little limbs
are exposed to the cutting winds, with
no protection other than ncat-iltting
cotton stocking, we say to ou self,
Wei, her mother Is a slave to
fashion" Clothe the girls as you do
the boys. and then they will be just as
healthy and rugged.-CiTro Gorao Re

More Of the Vanderbilt Family Quarrel.

The tough skin of William II. Van
derbilt has been pierced at last by the
shafts Of the law, envenomed by the
hatred of his brother, Cornelius j. The
latter was on the witness-stand yester-
day, and while he was testifying William
H. cried out, with n perfect abandon of
his role of dignified unconcem, % He is
making this all up" If so, he is ro-
manuer of a very high order, and ought
to afford Il practical reply to the ques-
ton, Can America produce tiyst-class
novelist? The story he tells is one of
remarkably startling interest, and if APP
proximately true, would warrant the
Surrogate in breaking the old COmmo-
dOres Will.
Cornelius is a man 46 years of age
When he was single he was allowed by
his father 500 month for his support.
After his marriage, which was with his
fathers approval, the allowance was in
creased to $50, That was q mean pit
lance for a father with an income Of
millions. The marriage was in accord
ance with the fathers wishes, and he
should have made provision for the son
in accordance with his rank. and rea-
sonable expenses. He did consent, at
the solicitation Of the daughter-in- law,
to increase the amount to 5000, and after
her death, which occurred soon there
after, increased it to $3.50 month. But
the great point was the charge against
William himself. He was accused of
having his brother arrested and put IN
confinement as lunatic in 1874 (their
father was verr sick at the time), and
iustifying it on the ground that Cornell
us had committed a forgery and could
be saved from the pententiary only by
the plea Of lunacy. The witness con
tiued:

4 NEW ORLEANS GHOST STORY.
How Seven Bold Police Officers were
Handled by the Invisible Power,

New Orleans Letter to Cincinnati Commercial
Unjust tell you New Orleans ghost
story which | have just heard In these
davs ghosts have almost lost the power
TO interest US for we have become too
familiar with their cloudy faces, and
Familiarity begeteth contempt. An orig
inal ghost story is a luxury, and rare
luxury at that Now, think this one
is unique enough to excuse me for pre-
suming to relate it. There was an old
house on Melpomene street which no
body could live in. Many good folk had
attempted to take up their residence in
it, but none ever dwelt there more than
one night Sometimes people would
send their furniture in the morning and
have the place fitted up, only to find
everything outraged and violently upset
in the afternoon Carpets had been
torn from the floor and stNffed up the
chimney, or flung into the centre of the
room in selfish shape, mockingly sugges-
tive of a corpse with its hands crossed.
Invisible footsteps shook the floor with
laundering tread, and bolted doors open
ed mvsteriously to the touch of inyisi-
goblin of decay added himself to the
number of the haunters; the walls
crumbled and the floors yielded, and
grass, livid and ghastly-loc,ling grass,
forced It's pale way between the chInks
Of the planks in the parlor The win
dows fell into ruin and the wind entered
freely to play with the ghosts, and cried
wierdly III the vacant rooms. At last
the police authorities resolved to solve
the mystery of the house.
Stephen Leary was then chief of po-
lice. He visited the house one evening
accompanied by a picked detachment
of six men, all armed with double-bar-
relied shot-guns double shouel, When
the seven entered the crumbling build
inc it Was twilight The chief ordered
he detachment to form hollow square
in tie middle Of the cid parlor, facing
outw arG, and he himself fled the centre
of the square, lest the ghost might arise
in the midst and seize every man by the
back of the neck at the same time
Now quoth he, "whencesoever it
may aplrolch we can blow il back to
h without hurting each other"
And the hollow square remained sta
tionary in the position of ready"
Then the clocks commenced to strike
the hours. There seemed to he at least
Il hundred clocks within hearing each
one q little faster or a little slower than
the rest. They told the time regularly
in hundred different keys, I'LL It be-
came "the dead waste and middle of
the night" O'.e after another, all the
hundred clocks struck the hour of
twelve. Ten vast ard awful silence
fell. The seven men brought up their
muskets 20 present. and stared wildly
in seven different directions.
Suddenly n gust OF wind blew the
light out and they heard il coming; an
invisible and irresistible force seemed
to burst up the flooring under the feet
of the policemen and each one stimuli
taneously felt himself seized from below
and violently flung against the ceiling.
And yet the city would not pay the
bills of the seven doctors who att ended
the faithful men thus previously injured
while in the discharge of their duty.
