Bradford opinion. [volume] (Bradford, Vt.) 1874-1881, 1877-10-13

Once upon time a young man was
convicted of crime in this city, says the
Detroit Free Press, and sentenced by
Recorder Swift to the State prison foi
three years. He made IN A No. l record
in prison and was pardoped nv Gov
DugIey o snort time before the expiration
of the term for which hc had been SEN
fenced. On his return to Detroit, he
found employment at IS a week in one
of the largest wholesale and retail houses
in the city. He conducted himself in M
exemplary manner. and he began to be-
lieve that his lines had really fallen in
pleasant places, until one morning an
ominous message came informing him
that he was wanted in the proprietor's
private Office. Apprehensive that his
history had been disclosed, he entered
the office with heavy heart, but re.
solved to meet the issue like man.
The proprietor stood by his desk hold
ing in one hand letter. His manner
indicated nothing of what was passing in
his mind, but with deprecatory gesture
he handed the letter to his clerk and
told him to read it. The young man
glanced hurriedly over the letter "a cow
.ardly anonymous production), which
was simply recital of the dark episode
in his career.
els that true?" inquired the pro-
prietor,
"Jt is true" was the sad reply.
The merchants face lighted in an in
slant. He grasped the abashed and
trembling clerk by the hand and said to
him /: "You are the man I want. You
may draw $13 week from this time un.
til furthe- notice, and at the first oppor-
tunity shall give You charge of floor.
1 can trust man who viii face the truth
in this fashion and under these circum-
stances, and you may count upon per-
manent situation so long as I am in
business"
What that young man said in response
to this unexpected declaration of conf
dence has not yet been told but the
merchant, whose sense of justice and
love of truth was so signally illustrated,
may be assured that he has gained a
loyal friend, and earned the deathless
gratitude not only of that young man,

II he had confined himself 10 his
legitimate quill.driving duties, there
would have been no occasion for him Ia
have been strutting around with his left
hand in sling, patch on his nose and
m absurd old gum shoe ON one foot. He
was, however, only another victim Of that
egotistical opinion OF all men, that they
can do anything better than woman.
He went home the other day and found
his wife putting up peaches in those old.
fashioned tin cans that closed with seal
ing-wax. She had an apron on, and two
or three little blotches Of sealing. wax
ornamented the floor, while the cat
under the table ,s;, was licking s,.ggiilh gieas the
"See here, Maria" he said, "youll
cripple yourself with that hot wax di-
rectly;" but as she made no answer, he
continued or.cularly: Women never
have any mechanical genius, anyway. II
there is way Of doing anything wrong
they are sure~o try it,"
"Do you think you can do any bet
ter?" she observed, with some acidity.
"Why, of course I can."
"Well, here, just distinguish yourself,
then"
So he sat down. She handed him q
fresh can, just out Of the hot water. He
took it in his hand and dropped it az
though it had been streak Of lightning;
while he stuck his fingers in his mouth
and looked sudden death at her because
he could not swear. She gave him
towel to hold the next one with, and he
took it on his knee, lighting the sealing
wax stick, and commenced prodding
around the top, but the bottom burnt his
knee, and he jerked, bringing the burn
ing wax across the back of his left hand.
Then he jumped up and howled, drop
ped the can, which emptied a spoonful
of burning preserves into his slipper.
This made him frantic, and he went
dancing about the kitchen like M
inebriated dervish, waving the burning
wax until drop took him on the nose.
In his anger he kicked the offending can
through the window, scattering its con-
tents over the dog, who rushed into the
street bowling and raising an alarm of
mad dog, which occupied the attention
of all 'the people within three squares.
Then he submitted to be laid on the
sofa, and plastered with -four and sweet
oil, until ho looked like bad-prepared
scarecrow. He is willing to make an
affidavit the size of barn door that he
will let the women be just as awkward
as they choose. e.-Elnnira Gazette.

An immense cave has been discovered
in Josephine county, Oregon. Ithas been
found to be over five miles in extent, and
the exploring is not yet completed. The
stalactite formation overhead is said to be
unique, being dissimilar to that in other
caves of which more is known. A party
will shortly make a thorough investiga-
ton of this mammoth cavern.
