and the traveller saw the animal had met
an obstacle. At the same moment man
raised himself from beneath the horse ana

traveller.
"Ah," cried the man, "you'd do better
instead of hallooing, to lend me your
lantern" -g...ss.s r-.s...
"What for?' :,
al had three hundred francs in gold
on my person; my pocket has broken,
and ali is falling in the street. 1t Is

il trusted me. If I do not find the
money l am q ruined man"
ut is not easy to find the pieces on
such night; have you none leftT
"Yes, l have one."
"Give it to me-"
The man hesitated.
"Give it to me; it will be the means OF
recovering the Others"
The poor fellow gave him his last
coin. The traveller whistled; magnifi-
cent Danish dog began to leap around
him.
"Herer said the traveller, putting the
coin to the nose of the dog. Lookf
The intelligent creature shifted mo-
ment at the money, and then began to
run about the road. Every minute ne
returned, leaping, and deposited in the
hand of his master Napoleon. In
about twenty minutes the whole sum was
recovered. The poor.fellow, who had got
his money back. turned.full OF thanks TO-

his carriage.
"Ah, you are my preserver," said he
"tell me, at least, your name"

Fred Douglas Appointment Mis-
take.
s,erial dispatch to the Times.


WASHINGTON, March l5.-The nomi.
ltion of Fred Douglas Is regarded by
many as 8 great mistake on the part of
the Presto emf, and strong movement is
on foo. among the members OF the bar,
headed by some of the Judges, to defeat
his confirmation as Marshal of the DIS
trict. 1t is probable that he will give
trouble at the White House, too as his
visit 10 Mrs. Hayes to-day in relation to
the duties he is to perform on the days
of official receptions indicates that he
will insist upon all the privileges as we'll
q. duties of the Marshalship. The Pres.
;dent doubtless intended it as a positive
reinsurance to Republicans everywhere
that in adopting liberal Southern
nol,cv he does not mean to desert the
Moor negro, but it is urged he was mis-
taken or has been imposed upon about
the character Of this representative OF the
oo,orea man and brother, about whose
there still hangs the unssvory
edor of Freedmen's bank irregularities
md District ring jobbery.

Thu School book steal presented
to the Legislature last winter, found
no ADLER or more earnest opponent
than the Milwaukee Sentinel: and
when that paper endorses a man as
sound on that question we are bound
TO accept 1t as conclu sive testimony.
This it does for w. C. Whitfcrd. Re-
publican candidate for State Supern-
tendent, as follows: "A large number
of Republicans have an interest in
the attitude of President Whitford
in reference to such textbook
schemes as that introduced last
winter. We are able to assert that
his position is thoroughly sound in
this respect. He is an educational
list having in view only the welfare
OF the schools, land is opposed to every
scheme which might in any way i'm
pair their usefulness. lie has rec
ord on this particular question much
older than that of Prof Soaring. In
1868 bill Of nature similar to that
introduced at the last session, was
presented and it was defeated by the
exertions of President Whitford, who
was then member of the assembly.
For this reason it is advisable that
Republicans and all Interested in
education should give him hearty
support, and for other reasons that
he is one of the most practical, exper~
lanced and reliable educator in the
entire country.

How TWAS DoNE.-An Ohio Re-
publican writing to the Milwaukee
Sentinel in relation to the defeat of
the republican ticket in that State
says: The Republican Members of
Congress and other machine politi-
clans of that party have secretly, md
many of them openly, done every
thing in their power TO produce this
result, for the purpose. of convincing
the President that his plan of civil
service reform is failure, and that
all federal appointments must be IN
der theif control, as they have been
Tor several years past. A slight per-
sonal acquaintance with the Presi-
dent brings me to the conclusion
that if these gentlemen q expect to
"bulldoze" him into swerving one
hair from the course which he has
marked out, and which he fully be-
lieves to be right, they will find
themselves, in the language of the
poet, sucked in, and likewise de-
ceiyed."

SAYS The Madison Democrat. "The
greenback question aualyzed amounts
to nothing except demagogism on
the one hand and a contradiction of
terms on the other. The greenbacl1-
er who travels with his dogmas is
the extremist who is an unsafe man .
Yet the Democrat supports Mallory
for Governor, who is one of the fore
most advocates of the greenbach
"demagogism,' and a party which ia
It's platform declares a sympathy for
the same contradiction of terms. ="

cal or contradictory
