81. Louis Times; The meanest thing
vet Is the conduct of ihe Delaware
I.ackswanna and Western railroad. On
the rolls OF the Ninth New Jersey regi-
ment were several men who we're en-
pioyed about the yards and docks of
the company in Hoboken. The men
were ordered to report TO the afrnory
under arms solely Tor the purpose OF
protecting the railroad company prop
erty in hoboken. After the disfurban-
cies were over, these employees were
docked Tor the time they had given 20
military duty. Political economy will
claim that capital had q right TO do this
thing. or even discharge the men who
had presumed to risk their lives In pro-
tecting lis property.

OFrIcE IN "JEFyERsoN BUILDING"
Saturday, February 3, 1877.
The Judges who are to Count the
Vote.

Mr. George Alfred Townsend, 10 letter TO
the New York Graphic, thus briefly sketches
four of the members of the Supreme Court who
are to assist in counting the electoral vote
should the plan recommended by the joint con-
gressional committee be adopted:
"Cliford is a man STEPPED in reverence for
the tribunal where he has past so many years.
This old man, colossal in size, weighing about
or above 900 pounds, made the treaty with
Mexico in 1S47. He was appointed by a
democratic administration, and is hardly ever
heard TO refer to political questions.
Judge Miller speaks pleasantly about the
ne~ duty devolving upon hin. lie is univer-
sally regarded in Missouri by the ex-rebcls as
well as by the republicans Of Iowa as the A.
blest jurist west Of the river Mississippi. BY
birth he is o kentuckian, and was once doc
tor.
Judge Field is a man Of stupendous read
ing and Information, the ablost lawyer on the
Pacific side, aud tie peer Of anybody in the
court lie is a man Of ready opinions, but as
Judge his irnpartiality is unquestioned.
" Judge Strong is the most judicial looking
man on the bench-of noble head, with grey
locks from his crown. His position in Penn
sylyauia was Of the highest he is seldom
heard Of here except in the legal social circle.
"While many look upon Davis as the fifth
Judge, some say that Conklines appointee-
Ward Hunt would be apt TO initiate Conk-
ling's eunobled motives aud forget the partisan
in the public officer, and that he may be the
choice Others think that the judges will Sc
lect the easy aud agreeable Bradley, who was
appointed a republican, but whose State went
for Tilden by so great a majority that he will
be evenly balanced in the Influences which en-
yiron him"

memory of her illness and suffering fresh 10 my
mind, ! always think Of her as "happy old
Aunt Patsy" for had she not been worth her
weight in gold p The dear old soul alway
had laid great stress, not at being priced at
her weight 10 gold, but In being really 'cig II.
That was the point. And the best of it was,
that her weight being mainly in her tcing q
good servant, it increased just so much IN pro-
portion as she cxcelIed. Simplc-heartcd
creature though she was, she would have scorn-
ed the idea Of weight, in this connection, being
a matter Of mere flesh and bones No, It was
Patsy. the cook who was weighed 10 the
| balance.
1t seems to me now, that If ! had seen Aunt
Patsy when was little girl, and heard her
tell her story, it would have been great help.
1t would have taught ne, in one easy lesson,
that to be worth your weight in gold is great
advantage, and that the best way Of becoming
worth your weight in gold is TO learn to do
some one thing thoroughly well. Aunt Patsy
could cook. That is fine thing In ITSELF
Cooking is good business when one las
living 10 make, and valuable accomplish
ment when one has living ready made
Every one Of Us girls, little and big, young and
old. should know something about it, and
should seize all good opportunities to improve
in the art. But am not going TO ask you to
learn to cook that is, not now, especially II
it is no. "born into you" ] only throw out
as irieudly suggestion that every girl should
make it an obi ct, as Aunt Patsy did, to learn
to do one thing well at q time. II, IS a start,
she selects some style Of housework, 50 much
the better. Let it be sweeping and dusiing;
let i. be bed-making let it be clcar-starchine,
silyer-cleaning or buiter-making, or even a
single branch Of cookery, such as bread-mak-
ing, or that rare art, potato-boiling. Let her
aim at real excellence 10 any one Of these, TAX
ing the most exact pains, looking out day by
day for ways Of improvement, aiming to excel
herself at each effort, until at last, Jenny did
it" Tor whatever her fortunate name may bel
shall stand as a guarantee for excellence 10 this
or that special department. Let Jenny's but
ter or Jenny's bread be the best her father and
mother ever tasted or Jet them feel that 10
one else can SO brighten the silver, or the tins
or furpiture; that it is sure to he all night il
Jenny but sweeps the halls and stairs, or Jen-
ny but makes the pudding Its her special
