] WHAT TOM EWING SAYS.

THE AGTI-REsUafPTIoN LEADER INTER
VIEWED BY A HARD-MoNEY REPORTER
Boston POSTS Washington Correspondence.
WASHINGTON, November 9.-Ths
fight over the repeal of the specia
resumption act has brought to the
fore a man new to congress, but
abundantly well known at the West,
to-wit, Gen. Tom Ewing, of Ohio
General Ewing is acknowledged to be
the champion and able exponent ol
the views OF the soft-money Demo
Gratis of Ohio and the West. He was
sent to Congress to bring the green
back boil to head, and he has sue
ceeded admirably. Naturally he il
elated at the success which has crown
ed his endeavors but he is too able
a man to belittle himself or his cause
by anything which should sound like
''crowing." How ever much men
may differ from Mr.. Ewing's finan-
cial views, no man may justly call
him either blatherskite or a fool.
He is not an experienced parliament
tartan. and he does not claim to be.
But he is q close student, hard ii
not sound thinker and born lead
err have been somewhat surprised.
I confess, to learn by personal ac-
that General Ewing 10 .
very modest, q very quiet and a very
logical man and not at all the noisy
demagogue IL has been the habit of
the East to consider him. The 9TH
er evening I had the pleasure of q
long, quiet and wholly informal talk
with him. That conversation con-
vinced me that Mr.. EAing 10 not 90
much an infationist as an anti-con-
structionist, and is not repudiation-
ist at all. 81 think 1t will be quite
possible" he said, ''to resume In
twelve or fifteen years, but I do not
think IL is possible to set . day. ]
feel absolutely sure that it viii be
utterly impossible to resume in 1879,
and any attempt to do SO will create
widespread Disaster
OF course it will be impossible I'm
the limited space of . letter TO do
anything like justice to Mr.. Ewing's
statement of his position, but . few
quotations will give readers, who are
always ready to hear both sides of
every question, little insight into
the financial creed of the great soft
money leader. of the West.
.sGeneral," said I, ''are you OPP
posed to resumption
.sNo," he replied; shut" aud he
smiled pleasantly, 81 would not stop
one mill in the United States, / would
not throw one laboring man out OF
employment to. accomplish resump-
tion.'' Then he added seriously. II
mean to say that the prosperity Of the
country is of vastly more importance
just now than the resumption of spe.
Gle payment at certain fixed day ii
the near future. !"
s'You think 1t impossible to resume
in 1879 without causing o business
disasterY'
81 think it impossible to resume i
1879 at all. / believe q large shals
of the business disasters which hass
already happened have been causes
by the efforts to resume in 1879, An,
/ believe that what has happened
but drop in the bucket to what vi

THE ORIGIN OF THE POSTAGE
STAMP.

The origin of the stamp had tinge
of romance in it. 1t was thirty-seven
years ago that Rowland Hill while
crossing district liz the north OF
England, arrived at the door of an inu
where postman stopped to deliver
a letter. A young girl came out to
receive IL; she turned il ever and
over in her hand and asked the price
OF postage. This was large sum
and evidently the girl was poor, for
the posfman demanded shilling.
She sighed sadly and said the letter
was from her brother, but that she
had no money, and 80 she returned
the letter to the postman. Touched
with pity Mr.. Hill paid the postage
and gave the letter to the girl, who
seemed very much embarrassed.
Scarcely had the postman turned his
back when the young inn-keeper's
daughter confessed that it was trick
between her and her brother. Some
sign on the envelope told her all she
wanted to know but the letter con-
tained no writing. 1--WE are both SO
poor" she added, ssthat we invented
this mode of corresponding without
paying for letters. = The traveller
continuing his read, asked himself il
a system giving place to such frauds
was not vicious one. Before sunset
Rowland had planned to. organize the
new basis--with what success Il
known to the world. st. Joe News.

THE ASTI-REsUMPTIoN LEADER INTER-
VIEWED BY A HARD-MoNRY REPoRTER.
The morning star and Catholic messenger., 1877-08-19

| First, she had been very self willed and
stubborn at school, and no one was willing
| to tell her of her faults, because her parents
bad petted her and fiattered her too much.
II anyone tried to show her where she had
done wrong she would be almost sure to
frown and speak uukindly and perhaps
| lnsolently to them. For this reason she
was left to her own way and became worse
and worse. Soon she would quarrel and
strike others and call very offensive names
and so on.
On the day we are speaking of, it hap
pened that n neighbor's child, a fine little
boy about seven years old, had done some
thing to make her angry and ahe struck
| him in the face with stick she held in
| her hand, and it was feared had put out
one of his eyes. At least his face was
badly cut and the blood run quite fast.
The boys father got very angry and had
her arrested, and TO make matters worse,
he was rich aud would make her punish
ment as heavy as he could.
Nettie and her mother were panied when
they heard of poor Jennie's crime and they
feared it would go very hard with her.
"Do you remember, Nettie," said her
mother, who wished to draw lesson FROM
what had happened, "do you remember
about five years ago when yon came home
from school one evening with q complait
against Sister Gertrude for calling sou
aside aud telling you of q fault you had
Yes, i remember it quite well and was
just thinking of it. l have often thought of
1t before. But how l pity poor Jennie
What will become Of herr"
81 do not know, my child, but we must
pray for the poor girl. l tremble when l
think that it might have been yon, if no
Que had corrected your faults in time.
Never forget the lesson which this should
teach you, and learn 70 feet thankful to
any one who will tell you of your faults.
The child struck by Jennie had not been
SO badly hurt as it was at first believed,
still Jennie's fault did not goaunpunished.
Many days che lay in prison awaiting her
trial, and when 1t came her sentence was
severe enough. Several months were
given her in the prison, and within its dark
walls she shed many tears over the fault
she had committed. hope it was not too
late for her to change her life, but do not
know, for when children do not grow up as
they should it is difficult after " ards to cor
re ct their faults.
hope the little boys aud girls who read
the Guardian Anges are all good children
and anxious to be still better; but still the
Scripture say 8 that in many things we all
offend. Oar duty, then, is TO correct these
faults while they ale little, for when they
are big they will be much stronger. Faults,
you know, are like boys and girls, they
are always growing if we let them alone.
Let me beg of you then, dear children,
to make it n rule to listen kindly, and look
pleasant and feel thankful when people tell
you of your faults. 1t is the shortest way
to perfection.

wishes, but against pledges, and compell-
ed to speech that is absolute torture to
them. The boobies who thus distress
modest and sensitive men ought to be
kicked out of society. No man has right
to give an innocent persOn pain by com
pellipg him to make of himself public
spectacle, or summoning him to task
that is unspeakably distasteful to him.
No man ought ever to be called upon at
such place, except with his full consent
previously obtained, and he who forces
modest man to task like this in the pres
ence of society, fails in the courtesy of a
gentleman. The truth is that no dinner
is pleasant unless it be entirely informal.
The moment il takes on q formal char
acter it's life as social occasion is depart
ed aud those who foster the custom of
speech making drive from their society

meet them-whUse presence would give
them pleasure and do them good. Let
