Chanfrau as kit" in the Ar
kansas Traveller had at least one
sympathizing hearer at the Boston
theatre the other night, in a sailor
evidently just in from voyage,
who watched the progress of the
play with the most intense interest.
When the game of draw-poker re-
suited in a fight, he stood up and
leaned forward in breathless sus-
pense, despite the efforts of his
friends to keep him in his seat.
When Exit" finally triumphed in
the pistol discussion, Jacks Joy
knew no bounds, and jumping up
and down, he swung his cap and
cheered again and again.
Rushing down to the lobby, he
declared that Kit Redding was the
greatest and bravest man on earth,
and that he would give everything
he possessed to obtain an introduc-
tion, and Mr.. MGlenen took him
upon the stage after the curtain
fell and presented him to Mr.. Chan
frau. Jack expressed his gratif-
cation in the most extravagant
terms" 81 was already" said he.

where are you going, DickW
Back to chat with my through
passengers"
And Dick Davis, the conductor,
left the mail car, and entered the
through coach attached to the
train.
Closing the door, he walked
straight to an old man seated in
centre of the car. His hair and
beard was as white as snow, but
there was no crows feet on his fore
head nor wrinkles on his cheeks.
His eyes flashed with lusty man
hood, though his hair would indi-
cate that he had crossed the
boundaries of three-score years.
He smiled when the pleasant
faced conductor dropped into the
seat before him, and leaning for
ward, made remark in low tone
of voice. This remark caused
Davis to raise his head and gaze at
the beautiful face of girl who
slept in the seat behind the white
headed passengers.
"She always sleeps that way"
responded the passenger, with a
smile "and when she wakes she is
as fresh as q rose"
"Your daughter has company l
see," observed Davis, glancing at
the remainder of the car, who APP
peared to be sleepin G soundly.
"Yes, are they going through ~
"Oh yes none but through pas
sengers are admitted to this coach.
They are not communicative fel-
low-travelers / should say"
"They are not" replied the old
man. "Mr. Davis, l do not like my
travelling companions" and the
speakers voice was lowered.
The conductor looked surprised.
"Will you explain, Mr.. Rad
cliff
A short time previous to the
present conversation the conductor
and his passenger had exchanged
names, and were thus enabled to
call each other properly.
II can scarcely explain" was the
passengers reply. "There is man
in the fourth seat from the stove
whom, upaccountably, / do not
like. He boarded the train at
Romney, and l have caught him
looking askance at myself and Ma
bel. Then the fellow who appears
to he asleep three seats behind him
on the opposite side of the aisle
has been guilty of the same thing,
and / believe there is a connection
between the parties. / do not
want you to think that ! fear them.
Never in life, and have travelled
through the wild tribes of the Am.
azonian valley, have / feared man.
Over there lies the only jewel to
which cling" and he nodded to-
ward the sleeping girl. "She is
the sole creature through whose
veins runs my blood, and you must
know that she is dear to me-"
Certainly, Mr.. Radcliffe said

The Kind of Religion we Want.

We want religion that softens
the step, and tunes the voice to
melody, and fills the eye with sun
shine, and checks the impatient
exclamation and harsh rebuke a
religion that is polite, deferential
to superiors, courteous to interiors
and considerate to friends; a reli-
gion that goes into the family, and
keeps the husband from being cross
when dinner is late, and keeps the
wife from fretting when the hus-
band tracks the newly washed floor
with his muddy boots, and makes
the husband mindful of the scraper
and the door mat keeps the moth
er patient when the baby is cross
and amuses the children as well as
instructs them; cares for the SER
wants besides paying them prompt
ly, projects the honeymoon into
the harvest noon, and makes the
happy home like the eastern fig
tree, bearing in its bosom at once
the beauty of the tender blossom
and the glory of the ripened fruit.
We want a religion that shall in
terpose between the ruts and the
gullies and rocks of the highway
of life and the sensitive souls that
are travelling over them.

A Hint from Utah.

In a morning paper an interview

versation he bad with Brigham

he had noticed an adobe wall, some
nine feet high, partly ia ruins:

Conductor Davis thought a
moment.
yourself and daughter can
avoid them by taking up quarters
in the forward car. / assure you
that you will not be regarded as in
truders, and that the accommoda-
tions will not lack comfort"
But the passenger gently ,declin-
ed the conductors offer, and said
that he would finish his journey in
the coach he had been placed in
for that purpose.
After a few more words Davis
left the coach and passed into the
express car where he soon appear
ed to forget his passengers in a
conversation with the messenger.
The door had hardly closed on
the conductors form when the man
nearest the stove showed signs OF
animation. He turned his head
and looked up the dimly lighted
aisle, not forgetting to let his eyes
rest on the old traveller and his
daughter. He was handsome man,
about thirty-fve years of age, and
above his luxuriant crop of whisk-
ers shone a pair of milk blue eyes.
Not one man in hundred would
have chosen him for rascal.
He was well, almost hashily
dressed; there was a handsome
diamond pin on his bosom, and a
crested ring on his hand.
Allowing his gaze to return down
the aisle, he fixed it upon another
man, who appeared to be sleeping,
a short distance from him, This
man was quite young; his eyes
very heavy, and the only hairsute
appendage on his face was a long
haired mustache that dropped over
his mouth.
The two men exchanged looks
which told that they were not trav-
elers thrown together, but men who
were well acquainted with each
other.
Again tho aforementioned one
looked at the old passenger, whose
head had dropped or his breast,
and who appeared to be dropping
into a slumber.
Seeing this the man motioned to
the other, who Strengthened up, and
the next moment the twain occupi-
ed the same seat.
"Is he really asleep!" asked the
youngest.
"Yon can't tell anything about
the old codger," was the reply.
"He looks as though he was sleep
ing like Morpheus himself, when
he may be watching us from one
corner of his eye. We can't afford
to wait much longer else the game
will be up. The girl is sound
asleep"
"Yes, you could jerk her from
the seat and not disturb her slum-
bers. Isn't she beauty!'
ga perfect houri !"
"Of course she doesn't know that
you are on the train"
Certainly not. Don't you recol-
lect that she was asleep when we

"If she knew that ] was here,

JUDGE CARPENTERS DEcIsE0N.

The long expected decision Of Judge
Carpenter waa filed on last Monday, i'm.
mediately on his return from Washing
ton. II is stated that he consulted all
the authorities in the Washington libra
ries, but could find no precedent to aid
him In his decision. The Supreme Court
will be called upon to revise this decision,
and it is believed that its members will
sustain the Inauguration Of Gov. Hamp-
ton by the Wallace House of Representa-
tives; as the best that could be done un-
der the circumstances, and declare tie
pretended Inauguration of Chamberlain
as clearly illegal. The following state
ments embrace the main points of Car
pentcr's decision
Nyk That the House Of Represents
tives before which the vote was opened
and published, and before which, in con.
junction with the Senate, Chamberlain
was inaugurated, was not only illegal in
wanting quorum to Go business, but
positively an unlawful assemblage, usurp.
ing the rightfiil authority of the House
| OF Representatives, and that the proceed.
ings conferred no authority upon Mr.
Chamberlain to exercise the duties of the
Office of Governor.
Second. That the legislative power Of
the State Is, by the Constitution, vested
in two distinct branches, the Senate and
the House, both together constituting the
General assembly, and that before they
can perform any legislative act, each o
the houses must not only be organized
separately, but acting in conjunction with
the other; hence, as there was no join
action, and Gen. Hampton was inaugu
rated without II Senate, the proceeding
were invalid and conferred no authorit,
upon him to exercise the Office OF Gov
ernor.
Third AS the act of the Mackey Leg
islature in the attempted Inauguration O
Chamberlain was illegal and void, an,
conferred no right to Office, it could talk
away no right, and did not operate rs
resignation by Chamberlain.
Fourth. AS the Constitution provide
that the Governor shall hold his offic
for two years, and until his successor i
not only chosen, but qualified, Chamber
lain is the lawful Governor until tn
qualification of his successor and N

GEN. GRANTS VIEWS.
fac Favors the Compromise From Ex
pediency.

WASHINGTON, January 22.
The President in explanation of his at
titude toward the compromise Electoral
bill, said to-day that his approval Of it is
not based OH principle, but because he
believes that the great interests OF the
country demand that something shall be
done which shall relieve the people of
the present uncertainty rs To the result of
the election in severn! C: The States, and
notably in Louisiana. The circum-
stances surrounding that election, he
thinks, make it desirable that some COM
petent tribunal shall be established for
the determination OF the doubtful ques-
tions involved. He remarked that the
Republican party is not as united in it's
belief that Governor Hayes was elected
on November 7 as the Democrats are in
their advocacy Of the Inauguration Of
Governor Tilden, and that while such Il
state of affairs continues it will be as diff
cult for the Republicans to carry out any
policy looking to the inauguration of
their candidate against the opposition Of
the Democrats as for general tn win q
victory with broken ranks while his oppo-
nents line is ,Ihshaken. AS things now
stand he thinks that if Governor Hayes
shall be declared elected, except by the
intervention OF some tribunal such as that
proposed, he would have to meet the
united opposition of the Democrats, and
would receive only divided support
from his own party, but whoever is de-
clared elected in accordance with the
proposed compromise plan, his inaugural
tion will be acquiesced in by his oppo-
nents, and his administration will be the
stronger for it. In this view, and taken
in conjunction with surrounding circum-
stances, the President will place no OBJ.
struction on his pat in the way of con-
summation of the plan Of settlement now
before Congress.

G. w. Butts. who was elected to GIL tie
unexpired rm in Congress from the
Second District Of this Stute, attempted
to get his seat upon It commission from
Ex-Gov. Chamberlain, but was refused.
He had, however, the certificate iror. the
Supreme Court, and was, upon present.
ing it, sworn in. Thus Congress has
recognized the legality Of the Supreme
Courts action, and its certificates to the
