Honor Bright. "

uYes bono1. br1nht ~

Eyes, honor BRIGHT"
That was all heard of the talk, as I
looked down at the eager faces that passed
my window, and it set me to thinking. l
have no idea what kind of compact the
boys were making, but whatever it was,
they thought it was made specially sure
and sacred by those two words "Honor
Bright" You all think so, believe, you
boys and girls; there is an unwritten code
of honor among you, which makes it quite
right and proper to break certain kinds of
promises, if it suits your convenience, but
very disgraceful to break others-the hon
or bright kind. Maybe you got it from
your elders, Or, what is more likely, your
elders learned it when boys and girls,
and carried the bad principle with them,
out OF small transaction into great ones,
until there is no telling the mischief it has
done.
That is good motto-Honor Bright
and I wish you would adopt it, not for
special things, but for every word and &C
ton of your wholeslives. If you make a
promise in great things OF small, fulfill it
carefully, sacredly, honor bright, no matter
how much it costs you, provided you have
not pledged yourself to a wrong. If you
have, there can be no honor about it, ex-
cept in frankly saying, IL made bad
promise am ashu ned of it; l cannot
keep it - and do not let any foolish notion
about honor make you stick to the wrong.
but you said you would. Now stick to it,
h3nor bright.
You didn't promise to do it? No; but
you know it is expected of you. Do it,
honor bright.
Nobody expects it of you, All, but you
know you ought; therefore do it, honor
bright.

SILENT TRAvELLERs.-Byst or

SILENT TRAvELLERs.-Byst on
the railroad stations on the Union Pacific,
and observers along the road, may often
remark at the long, ominous pine boxes
forward of the train, generally abaft the
baggage and in front Of the express car.
These boxes contain metallic collins, and
the collins contain the bodies Of those
whom either friendship or expediency for
ward to homes or relatives in the far Erst.
Amid the jar, rumble spring, laughter and
excitement of a trip across the continent,
they alone are passively silent. They are
always going East-never West, They
went West perhaps to seek a fortune.
They have found the ultimate fortune of
all mankind. The body of one may be.
perhaps, the remains of Widows son, who
expends her little all that he may at last
repose beneath the trees of some dear New
England home. Perhaps it is the body of
some noted capitalist, who was stricken
down in some exciting battle of Mammon,
and is to be deposited amid the pomp and
magnificent draperies Of afflicted woe, with
in the silent chambers of Greenwood Gem
etery. A long journey is before them as
they move out Of the busy confines of San
Francisco on their dismal journey to the
East, but who shall tell Of the longer, let
us hope, pleasanter flight of the soul to its
Saviour, whose star of nativity was first
seen in the East.-Central City Courier.

Upon thy tideless stream,

In thy respondent lights!

To PREVENT STOVES FROM SMOKING.
There is very simple way of avoiding
the disagreeable smoke and gas which al
ways pour into the rooms when fire is lit
in a stove, heater, or fireplace on a damp
day. Put in the coal and wood as usual,
but before lighting them ignite handful
of paper OF shavings, placed on top of the
coal. This produces current of hot air
in the chimney, which draws up the gas
and smoke at once. Not one person out
of every fifty ever thinks of this easy ex-
pedient. Scientific american.

CRACKED HANDs.-With some people
cracking of the hands in the winter season
is usual occurrence many are seriously
troubled in this way. If those so afflicted
will after washing, wipe the hand pefect-
ly dry, and after using soap, rub their
hands with vinegar, then after wiping,
with little sweet oil, they will find them
selves less troubled in the future. The
lmmoderate use of salt at the table, it is
said, predisposes the skin to become dry
and crack.

Novelty In "A judicial Inquiry.


If many of the incidents of the Fitz-JOhn
Porter inquiry have been extraordinary, those
recorded in the last number of the Army aud
Macy Journal are fairly bewildering. The
counsel Of Porter, being near the close Of their
case, announced to the board that they desired
the presence Of General Pope as witness, but
they preferred not to summon him themselves
and desired that he should be summoned by
the Government. The counsel for the Gov
crnment said he had no occasion for General
Pope and declined to summon him. Porter's
counsel replied But we want TO cross.exam
inc him. and lie must be SUNNI oned by the
Government in order that we may be graft.
fed" The board, fascinated by the audaCity
Of this unique proposal, djourned for few
days to await the Generals arrival
During the recess General SchOhell tho
president Of the board. returned to his home
at West Point and then telegraphed to Pope
TO come on. General Pope answered that he
could not volunteer to intervene In this cOntrO.
vcrsy between Porter and the Government,
but would appear ohecrfully If subpGnacd by
either party. General SchOfeld reiterated
his demand. General Pope, puzzled by this
proceeding, telegraphed to the Secretary of
War, asking what ye should do The Secretary
| replied, Stay at your post, where you are"
v.
upon General SchOheld, according to his own
statement, sent a confidential dispatch to the
| President, who refused to order Pope either
| to 90 or to stay, but left him to use his own
discretion. Upon this General Pope tcle-
graphed to the Government counsel as follows /:
81 am informed by the Secretary of War, in
a telegram Of this date, that the President de-
Clnes to order me TO appear or not to appear
| before your board as \ witness, but leaves the
matter to my discretion. In view of this fact
| and the tolcgraphic Instructions of the Secre-
| tary OF War for the guidance OF the board,
copy Of which the Secretary must have sent
the petitioner, adhere to the position taken
In my telegram Of the 2lst instant to General
SChoield. Nevertheless although tho counsel
for the Government refuses TO subpoena me as
a witness for the Government, and the peti.
toner declines to subpoena me as a witness fol
him, and therefore ! am subpOnaed by neither
party. If the board require any information
In my power 10 give on any point brought out
in the Investigation, win with pleasure re-
spond either by sworn replies to written in,
terrOEatories, or, il the board deem It necessary
by appearing In person before ii for this pur
pose, on due notification to that effect"
What action did the board then take
Surely no sane person could have predicted
what was done. Argument was now had OF
the propriety Of questioning General Pope By
intorrOgatoriGs, but the board decided that, JO
purposes Of Information, the General could be 0

field, In which he stated he would appear
cheerfully If subp9naed by either party and
there II lay In disagreeable proximity to the
written statement Of the board that It had ex-
hausted all Its power to secure Popc's presence.
General Schofeld, observing this, turned white
with rage, stamped his foot, ordered tho tcle-
gram to be withdrawn from the record, and
addressed to the Recorder language which that
officer would not brook, though It came from a
Major.Gencral presiding. The doors Of the
court were closed for WHILE and when opened,
the board on the one hand required the tele.
gram to be withdrawn from its juxtaposition
with their opinion; but, on the other hand,
Schofeld apologizcd for his language.
II was miserable performance. II Is espe-
cially pitiable to see General Schoield exhib.

partisan in the investigation where he sits as
presiding judge II is quite intelligible that
Porters astute counsel, feeling the failure OF
their cause, should attempt to raise fog by
bringing In other parties and raising other
issues. But 1t Is very different thing 10 see
the board going along with them and "refus.
ing to be bound by tho rules prevalent either
In civil or military courts" The courteous
and dignihed attitude Of General Pope stands
out In strong relief amid this tissue OF strange
doing and arbitrary violence.

THE SOLID SOUTH.

Whatever may come OF IT, we are, heart and
soul, in favor Of the Solid South. The time
will come, sooner or later, when the views Gu
tertaincd by Southern men Of the theory and
practice Of our Government will once more
prevail when not only the rights of person
and property, but the rights OF States as well
will everywhere be respected, and when, Of
course, the "paternal theory" according to
which every right aud every privilege springs
not from the States or from the people thereof,
but from q grand central government at
Washington, will be thoroughly exploded.
