GA Never use young lady's name in
an improper place, or in mixed COM
pany. Never make assertions about her
that you think to be untrue, or illusions
that she herself would blush to hear
Where you meet with men who do not
scruple to use a woman's name in a
reckless manner, shun them. They are
the worst members of the community !;
men lost to every sense of honor; every
feeling of humanity. Many good and
worthy wcman's character has been for
ever ruined and her heart broken by a
lie manufactured by some villain, and
repeated where it should not have been,
and in the presence of those whose little
judgment could not deter them from
circulating so foul and Dragging report.

A Joke on Gen. Spinner.

HHANY curious things happened to
lVL Gen. Spinner, late United States
Treasurer, during the many years he
held that responsible position; but the
bluff old watchdog of the Treasury had
practical way of managing which sell
dom failed TO win against all odds. He
got caught one day, however, in the
most unexpected manner. His sigma
ture, 50 well known where greenbacks
have ramified, got in time to be so much
in demand that people all over the coun-
try used to write asking him for his
autograph. lie fell into the habit to
comply by returning n brief response, in
which, after the formal beginning, he
would say: The request made in your
note of --- date Is herewith COM
piled with, to which he would would
aflix his grotesque signature.
One day a tall man, very tall slim
man, with store clothes on, in plug
hat and new boots, from one of the
southwestern counties in Virginia, stalk
ed into the Office and stated that he had
come up to be sworn in.
Spinner looked up. "What did you
say ?" said he.
came to take the oath of office"
$50 to-Chcago," said he. "What
do you mean ~
"I mean,' said the tall Virgnian
very slowly and soemnly, that l have
come up to take the oath and be Undue
ted into your Office to which you have
appointed me"
The valiant old fnancier began to boil
over.
C How dare you, sir How dare you
come in here with so monstrous a propo-
sitionY / never promised you an office
You are crazy. / never heard of you !;
who are you and what the d-enuncia-
ton do you mean by coming in here
with such story Go homel Go
home, sir, and don't bother me ~
81 beg your PARDON" said the tall
man, glancing complacently at his new
clothes. " have note from you in
reply to my application, in which you
offer me clerkship in your office, and
taking from his pocket a folded paper
he spread it before the astonished Treas
urer, who read:
''Sir: The request contained in yours
of - date is herewith complied with.
Sincerely yours, f. e. SPINNER"
"Holy Noses" said you asked me
for my autograph, and this is my reply.
DO you think I'm - idiot ?"
mot at ALL" said the tall stranger,
only you have made a mistake. /
wrote you some time ago asking for an
Office, and this is your reply to my ap-
plication. l have spent all my money
in purchasing these guar-ments and
paying my fare to Washington, and /
want my place, which you have prom
ised me.n
The old man jumped up, rushed to
his letter file and discovered that on the
day named he had received two appli-
cations for his autograph and one for an
office. He had mailed the same answer
to all three. He sat down, turned and
gazed sadly at the expectant Virginian
for about two minutes, and then going
down into his pockets he raked up all
his loose greenbacks and fractional cur
rency, and handing them over said:
"There, take that and pay your fare
back to your home, in the country, and
thank God that you have escaped pub
lie office"

perity untIf" the surplus labor population
should be rcdistributcd between city aud
country, between warehouse and workshop,
between factory and field, between mill aud
mino, under normal conditions Of pcaco.
This redistribution, Mr.. Atkinson states
"is proceeding most rapidly at the South,
next tho West, and least rapidly at tho
East, it is moro difficult for the artisan and
tho operative to change his or her occupa.
ton than il is for men who have boon
employed in outdoor labor, either of tho
fold, the mine or the forest" Tho South
he holds, has tho best opportunity to adjust
Itself to the new conditions, "becausc its
change is from tho passive war Of slavery
to conditions of real poacc and prosperity
now for tho first time attainablc. Henco
the changes in tho position and condition
oflabor at tho South are among tho most
startling events Of this century, and the
claim to be the Empire State may pass
within ten years from New York to Texas"
In respect to tho over-production, which is
complained of rs q grave prcscut evil, Mr..
Atkinson regards it as an ultimate good.
if wo have too much cotton, corn, coal,
goods, wares ana merchandise; too many
houses, railroads, minos and faotories-all
these arc capital, and although the aocumu
lution docs not yet benefit every one, yet
from this accumulation has como tho seeking
for new sources of demand aud the effort to

dencc in the future progress of the nation
and just and righteous standard Of value" J"
Mr.. Atkinson believes in the wonderful
recuperativo power of the country, and in
the forces now openly or silently at work to
develop it. Ho bclivos also in tho ability
Of the people to correct unwisc legislation,
and in their ability, in spite Of distractions
to move forward once moro and at IN

tivity.
Commenting upon the article in question
the Baltimore SIN says: "Hhcro arc few
persons in this country better able to write
6n such a subject than Mr.. Atkinson, and
any opinion he may express in regard to
our industrial future carries with it no little
weight of authority. AS far back ns 1869
ho warned tho country of the enormous
losses that would be sustained by tho bust.

over production has since come to pass.

therefore, who are still disposed to be
despondent over the condition of business" !"

And the birds and bees, and summer breeze
Joined in merry tune,
But that was carly morning
And now tits afternoon.

For youth was strong, and lifo was long
And hope was in my breast.
All, then I wore rcd roses.
Now hcartscasc suits mo best.
With quickened steps and eager,

followed the song of tho singer,
And heard the poets rhyme;
But that was golden summer,
And now tits harvest time.

The tares with little wheat;
How can ever make them,
For tho Masters garner meet?

An E,sSsisIi Opinion OF tho Hayes
Administrations,

1t is tho conduct of Mr.. Hayes since his
attainment of power that is now tho most
painful subject of contemplation for patri,
otto Americans. A ruler may stop on the
safe sido of impeachment and yet be guilty
Of acts by which 10 Justly forfeits tho conG-
dencc of the governed. When President
Hayes was raised to tho supreme authority
by the decision of the Electoral Commission
the majority of tho American people woro
probably convinced that wrong had been
dono, but they wero unwilling to boliovo
that the President was in any way party
to it, But if tho evidence taken within
tho past fortnight before tho Committee of
Inquiry be not mass of malignant perjury,
it appears. that the men whom tho President
selected to Gli' t.v ,i;c highest Offices 10 tho
State were directly implicatoa@: N the cor,
rupt transactions by which tho votcs' OF
from Mr.. Tildcn
Unless Secretary Sherman and Senator
Matthews, aud tho American Ministers at
Paris Vienna and st. Petersburg, arc able
to provo that they arc tho victims of n
conspiracy, it must be acknowledged that
the publication Of politics of which tho
Hayes Administration boastod has made
little progress by comparison cvcn with the
worst period Of Gen. Grants rule. it be
suggested that tho President was ignorant
of tho part which his friends played on tho
counting of tho votes in Louisiana and
Florida, tho answer will be that there are
limitsto human crodulity. Mr.. Hayes, it
may bo admitted, was justified in believing
that his fronds-Mr. Sherman, Mr.. Mat
thews, and tho rost-did nothing during
their visit to tho South that was inconsis-,
tent with tho striotost honor. But he can
scarcely have been ignorant Of tho roputo in
which tho local Republican agents and tho
members Of tho Returning Boards wore
held, or of the popular impression that those
persons had deprived Mr.. Tildon of his
majority fraud. Yet Mr.. Hayes, while
porfcssine tho warmcst zeal for civil service
reform, went out Of his way to offer high
aud lucrative Offices to mon who, whom thoy
now app ,r to testify against tho Republi,
can cause, arc denounced by tho Rcpubli-
caus as UNIV orthy to bo beloved on oath.

Tho Washington correspondent of the Now
York Herald says that the speech of Casey
Young, Of Tennessee, on tho Potter investigd-
ton, which appears in tho Record Of Thursday,
maintains that the majority of members opposed
to Mr.. Fottcr's resolution as originally presented
because it contained no declaration that it was
not proposed to undo the work of the Electoral
Commission, and that they did not give it their
support until tho assurance was explicitly given
upon tho floor of tho l.ouse that the judiciary
Committee would pre- 'cnt report and resolution
declaring that the Pre-. dental title was not to
bo interfercd with. Ilo ends The investigation
itself for tho purpose of discovering and ex-
posing any frauds that may havo been pcrpe-
tratcd in tho Presidential election, and declares
it to be the duty of Congress TO mako an inquiry
for that purpose, claiming that no dangers to
| public peace and tranquility are contemplated,
| and that none can result from tho investigation,
! and charges that tho alarm expressed by Ro-
publican politicians is not real, but only stimu-
lated for party purposes. He defends tho South
! and Southern Congressman against the charge
of purpose to revolutionizc or "AIcxicnnize''
the government, saying that if thoy had desired
to do this the opportunity was presented during
the time of tho electoral count; but that, in
stead of fomcntng strife they stood firmly by
tho Constitution, the laws and the peace Of tho
| country, and saved tho government from over
throw and destruction.

TIfE BEST GOVERNMENT IN TIE WoHED.
Tho Washington Post has the following
pungcnt paragraph on this much hacknied
phrase:
Ono of the most amusing things wo have
peruscd in a long time is scrccd in one of
the soporoft dailics of Philadelphia, congrat.
ulating it's readers that our country is not
like Germany, whcro they 60 cunning for
cmporors; nor like Russia, whore to abolish
trial by tho exeoutioncr is more convenient;
nor like any other effcto monarchy; but, on
the other hand, as the latc Mr.. Morton was
fond of saying, the best government the
world over saw. All Of which is doubtless
true, except as to n few iuconscquential
details; for example, in sixteen years VIC
have had tho most tremendous civil war and
social revolution ever known; VIC have had
ono President assassinated, another i'm
peachcd, and third stolen into Office in
defiance of tho popular will; we have had q
section of our country, containing upwards
of l2,0OO,OoO people, governed by satraps
and dragoon officers on tho approved Rus
sian plan; wc have had tyranny of finan-
oial policy that has crushed tho very lifo out
of our industries; aud Gnally, We arc now
engaged in an inquest upon the highest
officials in the country, with view of in
dieting them for common perjury and
forgery, or the subornation thereof by
bribery. With these few trifing cxcep.-
tions, we join our soporofc contemporary in
rejoicing that wo arc not as other men, but,
on tho contrary, nave the best government
the world ever saw.
