THE HORSE WHICH REMEr.
BERED.

The Omaha Republican tells this story Of
horse: cold Jack, one of the horses that
hauled No. engine for months, was pur-
chased 80 months ago by Carl Woodworth,
who has worked him on an express wagon
since then. Recently, one of No. 3's
horses being under the weather, old Jack
was borrowed from Mr.. Woodwork for
the time being. Whep the fire alarm
sounded that night, although old Jack
hadn't been in fire service for two and
one-half years, he went from the stable at
the tap of the bell to his position at the
pole of the engine, and when the team re-
turned to the house, and the horses were
detached from the engine he proceeded
directly to his STALL"

TIT DOESN'T LOOK WE'LL.

The Sacramento Record Union tells this
very neat one: A young lady who attends
one of the city schools was returning home
the other day, when at one of the M street
crossings she was startled by the voice OF a
woman behind her, who CALCULATED:
'Don't rise your dress SO hight" then
began laughing at the CONSERVATION her
remarks had created.
"Just then the woman slipped, and as
she sat down in the mud with a thump the
school girl urged her not to rise her feet 80
high, as it didn't look we'll.

Truth will never die; the stars will grow
dim, the sun will pale his glory, but truth
will be ever young. Integrity, uprightness
honesty, love, goodness, these are all
imperishable. No grave can even entomb
these immortal principles. They have
been in prison, but they have been freer
than before; those who enshrined them in
their hearts have been burned at the stake,
but out of their ashes other witnesses have
arisen. No sea can drown, no storm can
wreck, no abyss can swallow up the ever
lasting truth. You cannot kill goodness
and integrity, and righteousness; the way
that is consistent with these must be a way
everlasting.

THE CODE AN MISSOURI.

Recently long, hungry-looking son of
Ham by the nameof Lige Pyle was arrested
for diseharging his pistol within the city
limits. Since then it has developed that
he and another colored individual, Sam
Huston, became involved in quarrel re-
garding a certain dusky damsel, and con-
cluded to settle the affair according to the
rules "ob de code, sah." Each was the
possessor of an old revolver, and stepping
out in the yard in the rear of the CONNER
cial Hotel, they measured off ten PAGES and
stood for few moments facing each other.
Then Lige said:
"Is you prepared, sah for de wust ?"
"I am most assuredly, sah," replied
Sam.
"One, two, three, fire." says Lige, and
both pistols cracked simultaneously.
Nobody was hurt and couple more
shots were exchanged, this time without
ceremony and with the same result as the
first. By this time both were getting bad
ly frightened as the bullets sang closer to
their heads than was healthy, and they
signed treaty of peace. A few minutes
thereafter Lige was arrested by Deputy
Sheriff Lupton and landed in the cooler,
from which he manage to escape by saw
ing of staple to his cell door, half an
inch thick, with an old knife, which he
procured in some unknown manner. .-Jop.

that during the entire Crimean war the

Cor. GEORGE WARD NICHOLS, Pres

son Cincinnati is indebted for the rapid
advancement of her people in musical
culture, has just made his official report
of the Festival of 1878. After clearly
showing the great success of our latest
undertaking, both from financial and
artistic standpoints, his report contains
this paragraph, which can not be read
over too many times nor studied too
carefully: "The recent Festival was full
Of delight, and it leaves us with bright
and assured promises for the future. The
Festivals of 1873 and 1875 were, in a
sense, musical experiments, made with
hope and faith; yet they were expert
ments. That of 1878 was the success
which comes from confidence and ma
tured powers. Hereafter we stand on
finn ground. The artistic conception Of
this Festival, its careful preparation,
with the union of the best material Of
orchestra, soloists and chorus, produced
musical results exalted above any other
attempts m.,de here or abroad. The

Some of the newspapers talk about
resumption as though it would be a
great benefit to the nation to have
specie in circulation instead Of paper.
The advantage Of resumption will
not be that business will hereafter be

valuable with coin, SO that we shall
have but one standard of value and

There is one lesson to be learned
from the Berlin Congress, namely,
that there are other ways of securing
peace to a country than by the COM
bat of battle. Henry Ward Beecher
once said in this city that the eXpe-
rience derived from Peace Congresses
had taught him not to place much
faith in that mode of settling nation
al difficulties. But within the past
ten years we have seen two notable
instances of the triumph of peaceful
agencies in settling international
disputes. The Geneva arbitration
showed what two powerful nations
could do when they came together
and submitted their differences to an
impartial tribunal. The crippled

SECRETARY CCHURZ on THE
INDIAN QUESTION. - Secretary
Schurz, on being asked his opinion
as to the result Of the consultation
between the commission recently
sent out to Dakota accompanied by
Commissioner Hayt) and the Sioux
under Red Cloud and Spotted Tail,
in relation to their removal from
their present reservation, stated in
effect that the mission had not failed,
and arrangements are now being
made to carry out the programme.
The removal, he said, would have
taken place long ago had not Cor gress
so long delayed the appropriations
for that purpose. In regard to the
Crow Creek Indian frauds, Mr.
Schurz said the whole campaign for
thir discovery was planned in the In
dian Office by Inspector Harmon.
The Grow Creek affair is not the only
one. Quite a number, he adds, Of
persons connected with the Indian
service as agents and contractors are
under indictment in several parts Of
the country, and other similar inves-
LEGATIONS are now going on with
promise of like results. The sccre-
tary thinks that the Indian service
can be made honest by attention, en-
ergy and perseverance. In regard to
the policy of the government he said:
"There are three things possible:
either to eXterminate the Indians or
to permit them to remain pauperS
and vagabonds and feed them, or to
gather them upon reservations and
try to make them self-supportins, as
much as possible, by agriculture,
stock raising, and similar pursuits,
The latter is the policy which hui
manlty dictates, and which is now
followed. 1t is a policy easily defn-
eG, but very difficult to carry out. l
think we are making fair progress,
but it will require time to make it
generally successful"

Judge Waters, of Hartford county,
has just made decision which may
be of interest to tax payers and tax
collectors in Maryland. The County
School Commissioners of Hartford
brought suit against E. F. Johns,
Collector of the First district in the
county, for overdue taxes, which it
was shown were not yet collected.
The Court decided that the collectors
must pay over the amount of the
taxes placed in their hands on the
days designated by the law or be-
come liable for the interest, and also
to suit for immediate payment. The
result of this will be to cause a
prompt and vigorous collection of
the taxes.
