He gets fever only appeased By marbles.
1t IS useless to head off this phase; if it
is shut off in one direction it breaks out
violently in some ether. It goes through
period of six or seven years and costs
much in anxiety, broken window panes
and mortified pride. he is afflicted with
rats, pigeons and other boyish complaints,
which are harmless, but annoying. He
brings in six dirty steeltraps to amuse his
sick sister, who grows worse under it,
and in his solicitude he straps his legs
fast to six feet of stills and stoops to en-
ter the door of her room, to the horror
and dismay Of his mother. He brings
little notes home from school, which he
tries to explain in a favorable light, but
fails to convince his parents that it was
"only because Bill Wilson dropped his
slate on Abe Hennegan's toes and made
me laugh" He carves his awkward ini-
tials on old Mrs. Williams cellar door
and she threatens his arrest. He goes to
to see "Humpty Dumpty" and comes
home and throws real brickbats at his
aunt, and Bridget is met with battering
blow from his head when she is bringing

home snare and de,usion. He tears
the comforts in more ways than one and
sits the pillow-cases to match them.

How John Chinaman Paid the Bills

A lady correspondent writes as fol lows
concerning the heather Chinee to the
Philadelphia Times:
once took China boy who had re-
Gently been employed in boarding
house. One of his duties was to attend
the door-the same as he had done in
his former place. As he spoke English
fairly I had no doubt he could do it
properly. At the end of the month,
the regular bills for the house becaming
due, none Of them came in. waited from
day to day, and wondered what could
cause such delay among people who
were always so prompt to collect. One
day had been out, and as l opened the
door OH my return found in the hall a
delinquent notice from the water COM
pany, saying if the dues were not paid
at once the water would be discontinued
Full of wrath I fastened to the Spring
Valley Office, on California street, to in
quire into the meaning of what I consid-
cred very strange proceeding. I told
told them felt aggrieved that tfey
should serve me with such notice when
the bill had not been presented.
The collector just then came in and
was always met by some trivial excuse
by The China boy that he had no other
recourse. went home and interviewed
Johnnie. and succeeded in getting the
whole story. He began taking bills from
all sorts of improbable places until all the
missing papers were found, and as he
told tkem off one after another, he ex.
planned thus: "Him likee money. Me
tellee him you gone out. Him likee
money. Me tellee him you welly sick !;
no can see. Him likee money. Me tellee
him you move," and so on to the end OF
the list. ooh! I too smart for him." said
John, who seemed delighted with his
own sagacity in avoiding payment, and
seemed much crestfallen at my anger.
he said: ':Me thinkee you alice samee
Missy Jones. You catchee money you

Caught up the little moaning sound;

The only heart twas meant to find;

And that it broke.

1T's none of our funeral, but perhaps the
GLOBE will be permitted to suggest to the
Republicans in the House that little more
attention to the law and the facts in the
pending discussion upon the political issues
involved, and less to the part played by the
people of tho South in the past, would give
more satisfaction to the general public. The
people know that there was rebellion
against the duly constituted government of
the country, and that the South engaged in
that rebellion almost on masse. They also
know that that rebellion was crushed four
teen years ago, and that the participants,
having acknowledged their error, have, with
few notable exceptions, been received back
into the confederacy of States, and are to-
day under the law, in the enjoyment of all
the rights accorded any American citizen.
Such being the case, the great majority of
the people propose to judge them by their
acts now, instead OF by what they did in the
sixties, and when the excitement of debate is
over, the measures in issue will be judged
upon5their merits and not upon the basis of
whether the men supporting or opposing
them wore the Union blue or Confederate
grey. Such being the case, if the Republic
cans desire to make lasting impression
upon the public mind, they will promptly

tions raised as affected by the law and the

STATE RIGHTS At ELECTIONS.


Since the question of State rights has
come unbidden into the discussion of the
amendments proposed to the appropriation
bills in Congress, there is no use for ignoring
it. It is question that concerns every
citizen, for it strikes at the root of our sys-
tem of government. If the sevaral States
have no distinct rights, reserved to them by
the constitution, then certainly the general
government has no rights, for under that in
strument it can have no powers except those
derived from the States.
Are the States, as claimed by the Repub-
icans, simply parts of common despotism,
with a center at the seat of government?
Certainly the language of the constitution
does not imply the fact. That document re-
fers to the States as the sources from which
power is derived, not as territorial de-
tendencies from which tribute is ex-
pected, and takes to the general govern
ment only such powers as the States are
willing to surrender. 1t especially declares
that ethe powers not delegated to the Unit
ed States by the constitution, nor prohibited
by it to the States, are reserved to the States
respectively, or to the people," One of those
powers not delegated to the United States
by the constitution is the government of cleo
tions. That was conceived to be the province
of the several States and such it was regard
ed up to the time when so-called Repub-
lican majority attained power. Then it was
thoupht that a mistake had been made
that the States were not competent to regu-
late such matters, and the federal govern
nent undertook the job. It assumed duty

Air-Line Gets Caught tn Hook on a
SMnkess Wreck.
Newport Telegram to New York Herald.I
The first accident in submarine dress,
which occurred in these waters, took place off
Point Judith this afternoon. John Waters,
the well known wrecker, went off early this
morning to the sunken Block Island mail
packet Thomas J. Lynch, which sunk
off that place about two weeks ago, for
the purpose of raising her. His diver, Horace
Manchester, 80 years of age went down early
in the day, and apparently endeavored to make
all the necessary arrangements to tighten the
wreck. Nothing was heard from him for some
time, and the persons on board the wrecking
schooner Young America began to get alarmed
The air was being pumped and the lifeline
kept in hands which vainly tried to
feel the least pulsation, but none felt
from the unfortunate man who was eighty-four
feet below, that being the depth of water
where the craft sank. After he had been down
three-quarters of an hour he gave signal that
he was all right. In a few minutes he signaled
he wanted more air, and then he sigpalled that
he was having too much. His signals were
faithfully answered by Capt. Waters, who is
known in all wrecking companies between
here and New York as man who understands
his business.
The revenue cutter Samuel Dexter hove in
the Young America, bore down to her. She
was Immediately dispatched to this port for a
diver, gear and attendant, which was furnished
by Capt. Ramsay, United States navy yard,
commanding at the torpedo station. The diver,
Augustus Feliess, promptly volunteered to 20
down in search of the missing
man. He was soon submerged, but
returned after lapse of about
twenty minutes terribly exhausted. He re-
ported that he saw the man suspended about
five feet over the sunken vessel, the sir line
having been caught by hook on the boat
He went down again and succeeded in Olsen
gaging the line. At last the lifeless remains
of the diver were free, and as soon as the sig
nal was given they were hoisted to
the deck of the vessel. The
body was brought here at once by the cutter
and placed in the hands of an undertaken The
diver, when he came up the second time, was
found to be extremely exhausted. 1t is be-
lieved that the deceased was engaged in taking
out the ballast when the line suddenly became
entangled.
Capt. Waters is of the opinion that the man,
who went down with some little mlsgiying, ow-
ing to the depth of water, became frightened at
some slight disarrangement, and died in fit.
The face of the man shows that he died terri
