SINCE the admission Of Kellogg by

who held the balance of power, the
Democratic party has determinedto al.

Senators stood BY S%pOlord, who was
Justly elected, the Democrats would
have aided Hayes in his fight against
Conkling aud company as II is now,
they will look TO Democratic interests
by allowing the Republican party to
again drift under The control Of its ex.
tremo leaders. This, moreover, Is
only the beginning of the war. Hith.

let alone by the Grand Juries Of he
States they misrepresent, for reasons
of policy which no longer have any
weight. Now the war is to be opened
along the whole line, and John Patter'

The annual election OF officers Of the
Cotton Exchange took place yesterday,
resulting In the reelection Of all the
old officers, with the exception of one
member Of the Directory. The mem
bers Of the Exchange have paid a high
compliment TO these gentlemen In fore.
ing them to serve for q third term,
when all we're so willing and anxious
TO retire after a two years connection
with its management. Mr.. D. W. Lam
kin was particularly anxious that some
one should be selected to ILL the priO-
cipal Chair, but the members felt more
than satisfied with his peculiar fitness
! Tor the position, and have compliment
ed him again with it's honOrs. The
selections are certainly good ones, aud
there should be no question that the
future of OUT market will show as
many improvements as 1t has done in
the past. We earnestly hope, however,
that the officers and members OF the
Exchange will manage 10 throw q little
more interest into its transactions, in
creasing, thereby, the many benefits al
ready derived, and GROWING with
complete success the 6rst organization
OF the kind that was ever permanently
formed in our city.

she had ample time to examine his pa
pers. which she did, and learned the
awful truth that she had married the
most notorious forger the world ever
knew. To secure his release, she sacri-
feed all her jewelry and every cent of
money she had, and she succeeded, and
like true woman, she stuck to him.
On Sunday night, Sept. 2, the great
forger was dying, and during the night
his heart-breken wife divulged the Sc
cret to attending friends. The awful
shock can be imagined. At 6:3O O'Clock
Monday morning Edward. S. Piper OF
Fairchilds, the prince of forgers and one
of the greatest criminals in the history
of the world, passed away, expressing
with his last breath the hope that God
had forgiven him. Warm friends and
sympathizers with the afflicted little
lady, drew around her, and at once set
to work to prepare for the funeral.
During his lifetime Piper made more
than one million dollars by his practice
and yet he died pauper, leaving his
wife and her boy without a dollar in
the world, and his interment depending
upon the kind hearts of the Conklins
and few of the Robertson House
bOarders.

The Paradise for Babies.

A correspondent says: One of the
first problems presented to a foreign
teacher in Japan is the reason of the
great apparent happiness and light
heartedness of Japan children. One
may walk for hours through the streets
of Toxic, and scarcely ever hear a
child's cry of distress. Four principal
causes of this superiority of the children
of Japan over those of other nations
have been suggested by an English lady
resident here. They are so well worthy
of the attention of teachers at home
that | reproduce them here. They are
First-the style of clothing, loose and
yet warm, is far more comfortable than
the dress of our children. Second
japanese children are much more out
in the open air and sunshine. Third
the absence of furniture, and therefore
the absence of repeatedly giving in
structions mot to touch" The thick.
soft mating, forming at once the carpet
and the beds of all Japanese houses,
and the raised Intel, on to which the
child may Chamber as it grows strong,
constitute the very beau ideal of an in
fant's playground. Fourth-children
are much petted without being capri
ciously thwarted. A child is not cuffed
one moment and INDUCED the next, as
Is too frequently the case at home. To
these four most suggestive reasons l
would add fifth, which is that Japa-
nese character is SO constituted as to
bring their elders into much stronger
sympathy with the little ones than is
the case in busy, bustling, money-m max
ing England. 1t has been we'll said
that Japan is Paradise, for babies, y
for you see old and young together
playing at battledOOr and shuttlecock
in the streets; while ON holidays the
national amusements of men, women
and children is flying huge paper kites.
Puppet-shows and masquerades also
have their vOtaries in thousands from
among both sexes and all ages.

life, and for whom we did all we could
TO make life sweet; we forget then the
aggravations and exasperations which
we endured, and only remember our
own lapse, the frOwn, the sneer, the
sharp word, the unkind act, that we
would give worlds to recall. But that.
although suffered as keenly and per-
maps twice as enduringly, is a remOrse
with but the veriest trifle of foundation,
when compared with the foundation for
the remorse of those others. who per-
haps never did any thing at all to in
sure happiness to those that have left
them, and who, if they have either con-
science or common sense, are perfectly
well aware of it. Yet, whatever the
foundation for it, this remorse of theirs
seldom maintains itself at any pitch
which would produce reformation in
that regard, for the nature that could
lntiict the original wrong is not nature
to suffer long on account of it. Quite
other, too, is the remorse of those who
nave failed to secure happiness to the
dead through absorption in pressing
affairs, having always intended to do
this and do that when the time came,
and who all at once have been brought
up suddenly againt the wall to find that
time was no more, and with whom suf-
fering then goes for companion during
all the rest of life.
But all of this posthumous affection
is, i'll sOoth, sort of selfishness, subli-
mated in some degree, perhaps, but
none the less as much selfishness as any
purely personal action of life is selfish.
The master misses the servant Life

mOurner; such pleasantness as it had
it is disagreeable to him to have dis
turbed it is jostling his equilibrium,
depriving him of one of his accustomed
sights, forcing back on him appreciation
of the fact that one day he also must
depart; in fact, it is the loss of piece
of property which, whether he valued
fifty or not in its day himself, he knew
had certain value in the eyes of others,
and which he was not inclined to sur
render. If the property enjoyed no
happiness, it was usually the cause of
happiness in others, and he mOurns his
own loss, and not the loss of the dead
He was used to it; he misses what he
was wont to receive; he never gave
any thing, and so suffers nothing on ac-
count of deprivation of the great Joy of
giving.
How much better than all this pos
thumOus affection, with its elaborate
weeds and costly monuments, would be
little more expression of love during
life :! 1t is but trifiing delay that it
costs the busiest, trifling expense that
it costs the poorest, trifling trouble that
it costs the coldost, and how it would
warm the poor hearts that lie in the
chill of death long before dying! Love
is the atmosphere of the soul, and those
who are deprived of it are in all as
phyxiated state; no faculty, either of
brain or heart, of doing good Ol of Civ
ing pleasure, is well developed without
it, and it is as great thing to give it
as to receive it, and as necessary to
cultivate the power of giving it, for
they who receive it may be like flower
in the sunshine, but they who give it
are like the sun himself

Trannps.

Professor Francis Wayland, of Yale
College, read last week before the
American Social Science Association, at
Saratoga, N. Y, an interesting paper
on tramps. He declared that the evil
calls for heroic treatment thus: Va
grants are paupers and therefore need
relief. They are able-bodied and are
therefore competent to contribute to
their own support. They are, as class,
disposed to prey upon the community,
and the community is entitled to ate-
quate protection from the lawless vio-
lence. 1t seems to follow, therefore,
that they should be placed in situa-
ton which will, first, provide for their
necessities; second, compel them to
perform useful work third, prevent
them from committing chine; fourth,
render it impossible for them to propa-
gate paupers. This, of course, involves
the idea of confinement with enforced
labor, which may be under the imme-
diate direction and control of the town
OF county or State authorities, and for a
longer or shorter period. In conclusion
the writer recommends the districting
of States, hiring therein buildings and
land, and arresting, confning and en-

A Scandal at Rutland.

The Cheney scandal at Rutland, in
which the young wife of an old man
confesses to staying with another man
at an out-Of-town hotel, has suddenly
increased in Importance, and other and
prominent persons have been implicat-
ed. 1t seems that, in accordance with
Mrs. Cheney's desire, the deacons of the
Baptist church called on her, and she
was very anxious that, on account of a
daughter, she should not be expelled
from the church. She thought she had
repented, and, as her husband had for
given her, she did not see why being
put on probation would not answer ali
the requirements of church discipline
Finding that the deacOns did not take
this view, she threatened to make Other
exposures, even telling the pastor, Mr.
Richardson, that one of his deacons was
as deep in the mud as she was i'm the
mlre. This seemed to go against hel
in the minds of the deacOns present
and at the church meeting Monday
they reported that she should be expeli.
ed on account of gross immortality. On
the report having been made one of the
deacOns, man past the prime of life
" nv was PiOsCHb Will Ills wife, passed
a letter to the pastor. If a lighted bOmt
had fallen amid the assembly, the com.
motion which followed the reading
could not have been greater. The sub.
stance was, that the deacon had himselt
fallen Il victim to the wiles of this wo-
man, and for the past year had repeat.
edly been criminally intimate with her
the intimacy having begun while the
deacon was watching at the bed-si OF
Mrs. Cheney's husband, then supposed
to be on his death bed. The deacon
requested to be expelled, considering
that he was as guilty as the woman
aud that he had been mistaken as to his
conversion. Both parties were immedi.
ately expelled from the church. The
deacon has heretofore borne the best OF
regulations, and not whisper had evel
been heard in the community against
him. Hiram L. Cheney, the husband
of the woman, Wednesday morning,
advertised his wife, warning people
neither to trust nor harbor her on bis
account. Her friends, it is now report
ed, will take legal steps to compel him
to refund the money which she brought
him at her marriage.

How He Got Twenty Dollars.

His name was j. Ridley; he was a ro-
bust man, able to earn dollar a day
with spade or hod his face indicated
that he was hard character, but there
was tremendous air of business about
him that was calculated to excite our
staid and careful business men. He
rushed up to them, and with very
grum voice announced that he had dis
covered the cheapest, best and most
taking system of advertising known.
For the small sum of $500, each victim
was to have lot of circulars printed,
and large card hung in his office with
his name printed in huge letters, and his
character and business so extolled that
whoever saw it would invest largely in
his goods, or Immediately pay him a
large retainer for his professional SER
vices. There was no mistake about it: ii
was just the thing needed to cause the
tide of prosperity to roll in upon the
lucky advertiser. Men who had long
felt too poor to advertise in the county
paper, now saw their way clear to pat
rOnize the great discOverer of the new
process of advertising. He pulled from
his side pocket yellow receipt, which
he was ready to sign as soon as they
handed him the $500. His look was
so fascinating and devout that they at
once handed him the money, folded
their receipts in their pockets, and went
to work to put their shops in order fol-
the great rush of people that were to Wis
it them as soon as the cards were hung
up and the circulars distributed. Having
got his pay i'll advance, Ridley visited the
village printer and made contract with
him to print the whole lot of circulars
and cards for one-fourth the price paid
by those who had bought ticket in his
swindle but he didn't pay the printer
for doing the work, and it was not
done afterwards he wrote the printer
to print and distribute his bills, sending
him no money. Where he has gone
with the $50 certain fellows in this city
would like to know. Moral: Shrewd
business men should always patronize
those W indering vagabonds, who prom
