A Mule Story.

AT tie Jacksonville 0ll Asylum for
Feeble Minded Children one of the
young lady teachers sought deeply to in
terest her class by telling the story of
Absalom. Dwelling, with all woman 3
tact and persuasive eloquence, upon the
dreadful end Of maynard, willful life,
and giving special emphasis to the most
important moral lessons suggested by
the fact that the young man Absalom, re-
sisting all the better influences which
surrounded him, rebelled against kind
father, she had in simple, earnest lam
guage wrought up the story with chief
reference to its moral impressions upon
those half-demented children. Curious
to know what had been the degree of her
success, she requested them Ia ask ques-
tons about anything IN the story that
most Interested them. Not over atter-
ing to her was the result when one of the
little fellows, looking up with the utmost
simplicity, eagerly asked: Ibid they

THE ELECTORAL TRIBUNAL.

WEDNESDAY, Feb. 21.-The Electoral Com
mission met at p. m, all the members being
present. The papers received from the two
houses Of Congress relating to the votes Of
Oregon we're read and ordered printed. Sena-
tor Kelly, Of Oregon, then proceeded 10 sub
init his objections to certificate No. 1. He
said he presumed that there would not be- any
dispute Of the third objection, viz. That Watts
was Postmaster, and they were prepared with
proof to sustain the allegation. II this was an
Office Of profit or trust, the constitutional in
hibition was as clear as language could make
it. Mr. Kelly argued that II Watts was not
qualified on the It'll of November when the cleo
ton took place, he could not be elected at any
subsequent election. He contended that by
the constitution and laws Of Oregon the person
receiving the next highest number of votes was
entitled to be declared electOr, and that the
Governor had right to inquire into and de-
eide the question Of the eligibility Of electors.
Representative jerks next addressed the COM
mission ON the Democratic side. Senator
Mitchell then presented the objectionsi in behalf
Of the Republicans. In his argument he said
there was no law in Oregon authorizing the Gov
ernor to certify minority candidate elected.
The Legislature Of Oregon might have pro-
yided that electors should be appointed by the
Governor, the Supreme Court, or Secretary OF
State. but it did not but il did direct that the
people, the qualified electors. shall by plural
ltN bi Nbtt-s W ~ CdTt III
choose electors. Behind this ultimate deter
mination Of the Canvassing Board, neither the
Governor of the State the tribunal whose
final duty ii is to count the votes for President
and Vice President, whether il be the President
Of the Senate, the two houses Of Congress- or
the Electoral Tribunal, can rightfully go.
Judge Hoadley then addressed the com
mission on behalf Of the Democratic DIRECTORS.
He commended that the action Of Gov. Grover in
Withholding a certificate from Watts, who was
clearly ineligible, and giving it to Cronin, the
next highest candidate, was legal throughout,
and that there Is nothing in the law of Oregon
which authorizes any such certificate or exem-
plification il presented by the supporters If
ce tificate No. 1. He said MY proposition il

The brief ground Of this decision il, that il
appears upon such evidence AZ by the consti-
tuition and law named in said act OF Congress
electoral law is competent and DE finent to
the consideration Of the subject, that the
aforementioned electors appear to have been
lawfully appointed such electors OF President
and Vice President Of the United States for
the term beginning March 4, 1877, Of the State
OF Louisiana, and that they voted a. such at
the time and i'm the manner provided for by the
constitution of the United States and the law !;
and the commission has, by majority of votes,
decided that i is not competent, under the
constitution and lsw, as it existed at the date of
the passage Of said sct, to go into evidence
dIiunde OF the papers opened by the President
OF the Senate in presence Of the two houses
to prove that other persons than those regular

were appointed, or that they were ineligible I'M

Two Of the most celebrated artists the world
has ever known dwelt in the same city. One
delighted in delineating beauty in all its graces
az tint. form and motion. His portraits were
instinct with the charm of physical vigOr. The
graceful, half-yoluptuous outline of form and
feature harmonized with delicately-blended
:ints. On his canvas the homeliest faces had
an almost irresistible charm. The other found
pleasure only in depicting weird and gloomy
subjects. Above ell, did he excel in painting
the portraits of the dying. The agonizing
dcath-thrOc, the CHASTITY face and form, were
all depicted with marvellous fidelity There
existed between these artists the most intense
dislike. AT length this dislike eliminated. The
beauty-loying artist had been engaged in paint
ing the portrait of n beautiful woman Con-
noisseurs pronounced it the most wonderful
piece Of art that had ever been produced. His
brother artist jealous of his fame and
sought revenge. by bribing the keeper of the
studio he gained access to the picture each
night AT first he was content ~ only deaden
the Hilliancy Of the complexion and eyes,
efface the bloom from cheek and lip, and paint
a shadow on either cheek. Later, his strokes
grew holder and freer. and one morning the ar
tist awoke to find the entire outline Of the por-
trait changed He could scarcely recognize in
the emaciated form and haggard cotntenance
the glowing conception he had embodied The
pallid face and expressionless eyes he had at
tributod to lack of genuineness i'm his ma
suspected the canse and Indignantly dismissed
the keeper. What the revengeful artist marred
by few rapid strokes of his slillful brush was
only restored by years Of patient industry.

his portraits. And Is it not the beauty of
woman, the most admired Of all the works
which adOrn the studio Of Health, that Disease
oftenest seeks to mar? The slightest stroke of
his brush upon the delicate organization leaves
an imprint that requires much skill and pa

Carelessness must be dismissed. Let suffering

1t is worth bearing in mind that in
woods of the same species there is a
great difference, according to the soil on
which they grow. A tree that grows on
n wet, low, rich ground will be less solid
and less durable for fuel, and therefore
of less value than tree OF the same
kind that grows on n dry and poorer
soil. To the ordinary purchaser, oak is

the tree grown on dry upland and
