En- dag for tire eller fyra veckor
sedan blef en- liten gatpojke, som
ej syntes ega en- van har i yerlden,
6fverk6rd och farligt skadad. Da
han hale varit pa hospitalet unge.
fir en- vecka, kom en- liten poke, af
den f6rres alder och storlek och
med cit utseende lika f6rtyifladt
och olyckligt, och fragade efter den
sarade och lemnade en- apelsin.
Han sag mycket bedr6fvad ut och
svarade icke pa nsgra ragor. Ef-
ter delta kom han dagligen, och all
It'd f6rde han med sig nagonting ON
ickc mer an ettapple. Sista veckan,
di sjukskGterskan SADIE honom att
Bill ej kunde komma sig, stannade
han langre all vanligt och slutligen
bad han ON tillatelse att ga in och
SO Bill. Bill, blek, mager och af-
tird, 6ppnade sina 6gon, men imam
han sag hvem det var som kom, b0ji
de den frammande pojken sig ned
och suckade:
"BiH, kan du f6rlata en- kamrat !?
vi slogos alltid, och jag var all.
It'd for stark for dig, och jag al sa
ledsen nu! Imam du dor, Bill, will
du icke lofva mig att du ej al ond
pa mig?"
Den unga pojken, nu nastan ! do.
dens sk6te, rackte upp sina sma,
Invita- armar, slog dem omkring den
andres halls och SADIE:
"Grat icke, Bob, var icke sorgsen
Jag var stygg och elak, och jag
skulle just kasta en- stem pa dig, da
blef 0fverkord. ON du f0rlster
mig, So skall jag f0rlata dig, och
jag skall bedja for oss bagge.'
Bob kom ell halftimme for seEt
den morgonen da Bill dog; da
sjuksk0terskan forde honom till det
kladda liket, kysste han ONT det
bleka ansigtet och SADIE: F..
"sade han nagonting ON mig!"
':Han taladc ON dig just imam

"Kan jag ga med pa begrafnin-

'Ja, det far du mycket gerna."
Och han .gick. Han var den enda

som blodde. Inga tarar falldes af

TOO MUCH INSTRUCTION.

The General Assembly of Tennessee
has adjourned for a week after having
consumed two in electing a Senator.
Thus are three weeks consumed out
of the eight and a half allotted to leg
islation for two years. Does not this
look az if State legislation were grow
ing to be a farce? If it should be-
come so, however, we hardly think
that all the blame should be laid on
the legislators but large portion on
those who elect them. Men are not
now sent to State legislatures to DELHI
crate but simply to carry out instruc-
tions. For example when an informal
discussion was proposed as to the con-
ventional interest law it was found
that discussion was altogether out Of
place, for such a crowd of legislators
had been instructed to vote for its re-
peal, that the question was settled be-
fore the assembly met. Again large
number of delegates were sentinstruct-
ed to vote for certain candidate as
Senator as long as he chose to stay on
the track, this enabled him to continue
there long after he had ceased to have
any chance of an election himself for
the purpose of defeating another can
didate's chauce-a most reprehensible
prsctice.
But the truth is that under this sys-
TEN of excessive instruction our legis-
latures are ceasing to be deliberative
assemblies at all, all discussion, such
as it is, taking place on the stump
rather than in the capital; and any one
who has any experience of such a can
vass as preceded the last election must
feel how little favorable to delibera-
ton such discussion can be.
It may be that all this is an evil in
separable from democratic government,
but we are sceptical about incurable
diseases and believe that the evil needs
only,tO be thoroughly understood for a
remedy to be devised.

THE LAST MONTH.

In exactly a month tomorrow, who
ever may be President, Gen. Grant
will have ceased to hold the Office
De mOrtuis niL nisi bopune He will,
we do not doubt, be happier man out
of Office than in it, his obvious iBcom-
potency to meet its responsibilities be-
ing a fact which must have pressed
upon his own convictions when he
wrote his first message Of the present
session. Even through the period of
the short session now Fastening to its
close, he must be conscious that till
very lately the evil advice Of unprin-
cipled men had led him into false po-
sitioD from which he was only awakened
by finding that not only the united
Democracy but the great body of his
Republican supporters we're infexibly
opposed to his policy. He frankly
abandoned it just soon enough to pre-
vent his name being associated with
the memories of baffled conspiracy,
the wickedest which has been witnessed
within the now closed century of our
national existence.
Late as it is we desire to give him
the benefit of his sober second thought
manifested in his approving message
on signing the electoral bill, and his
resistance to the violent advice of
Messrs. Sherman and Cameron to rec
ognize and support with military force
the government of Packard in Louisi-
ana.
His terrible errors cannot be forgot
ten. On this point history is inexOra-
BILE; they must give point hereafter to
many a solemn warning, butt is sat-
isfaction that he can point to the clos
ing acts of his administration without
eliciting the execration amid which hs
once seemed likely to make his exit.
OF Gen. Grants official life it may
be said as of the natural life of the
wicked Thane of CawdoF, Aacbeth'p
predecessor in the title:
''Nothing in his life
Became him like the leaving of it,"
Provided always that he does not turn
another sommersault before the month

Pope Plus TX is falling rapidly and
his early demise is anticipated-he is
believed to have already made arrange
ments for the election of his successor
to follow Immediately upon his death.
The Hon. Alex. Stevens is also re-
ported very near his end. It is singu-
lar that the speedy death Of both
these distinguished personages has
been frequently announced during the
last few years and the announcement
always falsifed by the result.
The Returning Board of Louisiana
in spite of its logged resistance is be-
ing gradually dragged from its lurking
place into broad daylight The mem
bers of the board are in the custody of
the Sergeant-at-arms for refusing TO
testify; meantime Mr.. Field is under
examination before the House COM
miftee, with what results the following
paragraph cut from the New York
Herald (Jan. % will show:
The examination of the Returning
Board to-day by Mr.. Field and others
about an election return which had
confessedly been altered was quite a
dramatic affair, and the confession of
one of the Board that the figures did
seem to him to have been changed had
demoralizing effect upon the Repub-
licans of the committee. The produc-
tan of the original return by Mr..
Field was entirely unexpected. 1t was
surprise to the members of the Re-
turning Board, and if he should pro-
duce other returns, and show that they
too have been altered, the Louisiana
case would begin to look very bad for
the Republicans, some of whom sus-
pect treachery in the Board itself. To-
night, in view of the developments to-
day, it is no longer a matter for sur
prise that the Returning Board so pos
ltively refused to allow anybody to
look at their returns or the proceed
ings of their secret meetings. They
were ready enough to give the House
committee what they pretended were
copies to show the originals, it now
appears, would have been fatal to them
Everybody tonight wonders how the
House Committee got this one original
return, in which it seems the figures
were altered so as to turn cOnsidera-
BILE Tilden majority into one for Hayes

this was effected every four years BY
the two houses each appointing com
mIttee, the two then as a Joint COM
mlttee reporting method of counting
the votes. This plan we believe with
but Little change was persisted in till
1850, when the 22nd joint rule of
which so much has been heard lately
was adopted. This was ptiTs7t that
work of the Repuhls-. IL
So a. n. -sSfatlc voice was hardly
i 80 10 in Congress. It was especially
adapted to the purpose of that party
so long as both houses remained re-
publican, but in 1874, the House ofRe-
representatives. became decidedly Dem
ocratic and then it occurred to the
leaders of the Republican party that
it might not work so well. Hence the
efforts of Mr.. Morton last year to sub
stitute something else; his plan was re-
jected by those who preferred the joint
rule then in force, and now, through
out the present session he and his par
ty in the Senate have resolutely refused
to renew the joint rule which they
themselves had enacted, and which
had worked to their own satisfaction
and moreover secuted every PROPOSE
ton for Congress to agree to any plan
as substitute Mo- all of sudden
the Constitution was enough, the Vice
President had been talked with, he
would do what the party wanted, and
that was the simplest plan, Congress
had no need for action. The House
of Representatives might come in if
they could find room in the Senate
House but they would be admitted as
mere spectators while Hayes and
Wheeler were Ferried' over the sea
of troubles which they had prepared
for themselves by the manipulation of
returning boards.
And when Mr.. Morton mad been
placed upon the committee of confer
ence which In concert with that from
the House devised the present meas
ure, he did nothing in the committee
but obstruct, nothing in the Senate but
to obstruct, and even now is watching
his opportunity to break up the whole
arrangement if possible.
Nothing must prevent the count by
the President of the Senate who must
count in the radical candidates and
then-the deluge.
Such position did not call for ar
gument nor admit of it, so he attemp-
ted none but contented himself with
denouneing his former friends for
spelling his plot by their cowardice as
he called it, by their better judgement
and awakened conscience as we prefer
to believe it.
