In speaking Of the Cabinet appoint
ments the New York Times says they
ought to unite all good Republicans in
the maintenance OF Mr.. Hayes perfect
sincerity and earnestness. 1t is plain
that the President has distinct and prac.
tical ends in view, that he understands
what difficulties lie in his way, that he also
understands how these may be overcome,
and that he means TO leave no stone I'M
turned tocarry out the purposes which he
has emphatically announced. We regard
his Cabinet selections III in the highest
degree suspiclons. II the country really
wishes thorough reform, it is likely now
to have an opportunity OF securing ii
for Mr.. Hayes and his advisers will
surely work for il, and will need only
the support Of the people i'll order to
attain it. What we all owe to the
President now is candid good will,
He has given us the strongcst
possible proof that he means to dc
his best. 1t is the duty of all good
citizens to take him at his best. The path
he has marked out will not be an easy
one. He will be openly and covertly OPP
posed. But he has right to ask that
he shall be judged by the fruits OF his
efforts, and it is the part Of all Republi-
cans, at least, to wait for these, and mean
while to give him the confidence which
his first steps so clearly deserve.

folly and futility Of attempting to control
the representatives Of the Government,
without representative alliances. As for
important men outside OF the Senate and
Of party lines, it should suffice for him
that Hayes in selecting his advisers has

A SCHOOLBoY'G REVENGE
Judge PiLtnan's boy Bill acquired
learning in u log schoolnuuSe. AL
one place the plaster between the
logs is broken away. and through
this aperture Bill endeavOred To es-
cape feet foremost during school
hours one uay last summer. Unfur-
tunately, he stuck fast when halt
way through, and he could neither
run nor retreat. When the atten.
tion Of Mr.. Shines, the teacher, was
directed To the culprit, Mr.. Shines
pr 'ceeded to the exterior nf the edi-
dee, aud embraced the opporl unity
afforded by Williams position tn
hammer him with II shlngle. Then
young Mr.. PitmAn WAS pulled out
and plunged into sums in vulgar
frSc ions.
Near the schoulhouse there is n
millracr, at the end of which there
is a sluica-gate. Immedl ,tely below
the gate there is u huge deep tank,
which carries the water to the un-
der-shOt wheel. The inside of the
tank is green aud Shiny, and when
the water is drawn carefully ont Of
it 70 great many hSh can often De,
found lying on the bottom. The
tank is nfteen feet deep. A few
days after the fiogging Bill happened
to pass the tank snd looked in. lie
saw Mr.. Shines at the bottom, pi:k-
ing up ASh and putting them iato a
bag. William felt that the hour OF
vengence had struck. He turned
the handle of the sluice-gate, and i'm
less than a minute that jolly old Pc
dagogue was Aoundering in six feet
Of water, trying in vain to Chamber
up the Shiny sides OF the tank.
When he saw young Pitman he
shrieked for help. But Bill. with q
6endish coolness, said, mo, sir ;
you've got to tread water till you
promise never to lick me again. 4"
Then Shines solemnly pledged him
self never to strike another blow at
him, and Bill let the water from the
tank, and helped Shines out. The
night when Bill got home he found
Simes there conversing with the
judge, and Ave minutes later the
judge was fondling William with y
trunk strap, while Shines sat by and
smiled. William has sincr expressed
