Given Away on his Dodge.


The old man Bsndigo keeps pretty sharp
eye on his daughter Mary, and many a would
be lover has taken a walk after few minutes
conversation with the hart-hearted PARENT.
The old chap is stuck this time however, and
cards are out for wedding, After the lucky
young man had been sparkling Mary for six
months the old gentleman stepped in as usual
and requested private conflb and led off
with:
'You seem nice young man, aud perhaps
you are in love with Mary?"
''Yes, am" was the honest reply.
"Haven't said anything to her yet, have
you?"
"Well, no; but think she reciproeates my
affection"
'Does, eh? Well, let me tell you something
Her mother died a lunatic and there's no
doubt that Mary has inherited her insanity"
Ppm willing to take the chances" replied
the lover.

intent to commit murder"
I'm used to that-got sister Just like her,"
was the answer.
"And you should know that I've sworn
solemn cath not to give Mary a cent of my
property" continued the father.
well, I'd rather start n Loor and build up.
There's more romance in it,"
The cd man had one more shot in his car-
bine. ard he SAID:
'Perhaps ought to tell you that Mary's
mother ran away from my home with butcher
aud that all her relations died in the poor
house. These things might be thrown up ia
after years, and L now warn you,"
"Mr. Bsndigo," replied the lover, "I'ge
heard all this before, aud also that you were on
trial for forgery, and had TO jump Chicago for
bigamy, and served a year in State Prison for
cattle stealing. I'm going to mary into your
family TO give you decent reputation There

Mr. Bsndigo looked after the young man

A Chapter from Modern History.

Once upon ime a Greenback man was
seen trying to draw new cart up long, steep
hill, when Democrat came along and offered
to help him. The Greenback man said he
guessed be could draw the cart up the hill
alone, but the Democrat guessed he couldn't,
and said they had better pull it up together.
Finally the Greenback man told the Democrat
that he might go behind and push, and al
though the Democrat felt as though he would
rather pull than push, he did just as the Green
back man told him to do and went behind the
cart to push. They got along pretty we'll for
while, when the Greenback man found that
the Democrat wasn't pushing very hard. By
and by, as the cart kept getting harder and
harder to pnll, the Greenbsck man looked
around to see what was the matter and found
the Democrat sitting upon the hind end of the
cart with his feet hanging off. Then the Green
back man got mad and told the Democrat that
he couldn't come that game on him, that he
must get of and push. The Democrat had
got tired OF pushing aud wanted to change
places with the Greenback man, and SO he
offered to pull If the Greenbacker would push.
The Greenback man said that it was his cart
and that the Democrat didn't know which way
to steer it, so he objected to the change. Bot
the Democrat got to the front and said he would
pull that old cart the rest of the wa6 or bust.
Then the G:eenbsck man and the Democrat
had a red hot time, and in the fracas the dog
goned old cart got loose and went rolling snd
tumblpg down to the foot of the hill, and when
it stopped you couldn't have told whether it
was cart or something else. Then the Green
back man and the Democrat heard somebody
holler from the top of the long, steep hill, and
when they looked up they saw Republican
standing there with the thumb of his right
hand on the end of his nose and the fingers of
the same hand sprawled apart and wriggling
the best they knew how. Then the Greenback
man and Democrat swore a duet in broken
time and you never saw anybody as mad as
they were unless it was wet hen. Moral

That Secret Society.

The other day, after strapping young man
had sold load of corn and potatoes on the
market and had taken his team to hotel barn
to "feed", it became known to the men around
the barn that he was very desirous of joining
some secret society. When questioned be ad-
mitted that such was the case, and tho boys at
once offered to admit him into new order
called "the Cavaliers of Coveo." He was told
that it was twice as secret as Free Masonry,
much nicer than Odd Fellowship and the cost
was only two dollars. In case he had the
toothache he could draw five dollars per week
from the relief fund, and he was entitled to re-
ceive ten dollars for every headache, and twen-
ty-fve dollars for sore throat.
The young man thought he had struck big
thing, and after eating hearty dinner he was
taken into store-room above the barn to be
initiated. The boys poured cold water down
his back, put -four on his hair, swore him to
kill his mother if commanded, and rushed him
around for an hour without single complaint
frou his lips. When they had finished he in
quired:
Now Pm one of the Cavaliers of Coveo, am
I?''
"You are," they answered.
"Nothi0g more to learn. IS there?"
Nothing"
"WeIl then, Pm going to whip the whole
crowdp' continued the candid ate, and he went
at it, and before he got through he had his two
dollars initiation fee back and three more to
boot, and had knocked everybody down two or
three times apiece, He didn't seem greatly
disturbed 10 mind as he drove out of the barn.
Oa the contrary, his hat was slsnted over, he
had a fresh fivt-ceUt cigar in his teeth, and he
mildly said TO one of the barn boys:
"S4y boy, if you hear any Of the cavaliers
asking for Coveo about my size, tell 'em I'll
be 10 on the full of the moon to take the Royal

The Chinese.

1t seems that there are more reasons than one
why more of the better class of Chinese do not
come to this country, and Why such of the bet
ter class as do come do lot bring their wives
with them. Here is what Chinese merchant
of New York, Men jim Cbee, says on that
pOint
The better class do not come here because
they do bot get that "kind treatment" which
the treaty guarantees them; and more particu-

famous Chinese merchant in San francisco,
who oied about twelve years ago, owned honses
aud lots aud mining property, and was worth a
great deal of money. He had wife and nine
children with him; but when he died, his prop
erty was taken by the city, and his family was
left destitute. That was great lesson to China
men, and that is why they are obliged to taks
their savings, is they have any. back to China.
If they could acquire homesteads, they would

THE Memphis Appeal takes up the debate
over granting Jeff Davis pension with true
southern Democratic fervor. After stating
that the amendm ent to exclude jeff
Davis from the pension was san insult to fall
len greatness, offered by Senator Hoar, and
how "Mr. Hoar writhed under these re-
marks" by the Confederate brigadiers, but,
being very careful not to mention Senator
Chander's speech or its effect on the Con-
federate brigadiers, the appeal says:
After a running debate Mr.. Davis was ex-
cluded from the benefits af the pension bill, by
vote of tweuty-three to twenty-five This
unjust AID insulting reflection upon Jefferson
Davis will yet be repaid. When the Congress
of the United States voted resolutions of GEN.
of the nation resolved that the resolut ions
should be expunged from the public records
This insult to a soldier who fought and fell in
the Mexican war must bs repaid. The idea of
placing seventy-fve Confederate Generals in
the Congress of the United States, and then de-
nying to Jefferson Davis the same pension Civ
en- his cOmrades-in-arms, because he too was q
Confederate, is shameful, scand slous, disgrace
fu]. Mr.. Hoar predicated his amendment upon
the ground that Mr.. Davis had not repepted of
his treason. Neither has Garland, nor Chal-
mars, nor Gordon, nor Harris, Dor Hill, nor
Vince, nor Bailey, nor Cockrel. nor any Of the
Confederates in Congress. Mr.. Davis has
never admitted that the rebellion was treason
and that our dead heroes fill the disho n ored
graves Of traitors.

LOulsiana's Seven Constitutions.

New orleans lines
Louisiana has probably had more Constitu-
tional Conventions than any State in the Un-
ion-averaging one to every 10 years. Her
first Constitution was framed by a convention
which met at Tremoulet's coffee house, where
the Poptslba Building now stands, opposite
the southeast corner of Jackson Square, in
1911. 1t adopted the Constitution upon which
the State was admitted into the Union, JAN
%, 1912.
The secoud convention met at jackson, IN
the Parish of East Feoiana, Aug. ., 1914, and
flushed it's labors in New Orleans, submitting,
NAV 16 1S45, a new Constitution.
The third convention met at Baton Rouge,
and submitted the third Constitution July 81,
1852.
The fourth convention met at Baton Rouge
Jan, %. 1861, but adjourned to New Orleans,
where, on Jan. 26, it adopted the ordinance of
secession, and after amending the State Con-
stitution in conformity Herewith, adjourned
March z.
The fifth convention met a the City Hall,
New Orleans, ondsr military auspices, in Is 81,
and promulgated new Constitution the same
year.
The six b convention assembled at Mecsan-
ics' institute, and on the 11th OF March, iSoo,
promulgated the present Constitution OF the
State.
The seventh convention will meet at New
Orleans, in the Stat House, April Il, 1879, to
frame new Constitution.

The Springfield Union has new theory in
regard to the Dexter affair. 1t is this: s'The
long, circumstsntial, rambling and inconclu-
sive statement of the trustees of the Dexter,
Me-, savings bank i'll regard to the late Cash
ier Barron's probable dishonesty, is met with
the theory that the trustees themselves were
responsible for the $1,000 to $4,000 deficit in
the banks accounts, and that they killed the
cashier to avoid his exposure of them. This
is quite as credible as the theory of, the elab-
crate and artistic suicide of the cashier.
There is more nanliness, moreover, in hold
ing the trustees. who are alive and can de-
fend themselves, responsible for this crimi-
nality, than in making charges against Bar
ron, who is dead and cannot defend him.

If the Union was worth Hghiimg for i, is
worth paying for.
The Question of the Session.

Having succeeded in organizing the House
the Democrats will, it is probable, proceed at
once to the business of the session. Unfor-
tunately for the good of the country aud the
speedy furtherance of public affairs, a serious
difference Of opinion obtains as to that busi-
ness. The President and the Republican
minority of Congress hold it to be the pas
sage of bills appropriating money for the
current expenses of the Government. The
Democrats apparently believe it to be the
repeal of all laws that protect the ballot
box against hordes of brigands in the South,
and gangs of repeaters in the North. Upon
this difference of opinion issue is Joined.
The Republicans are contending for honest
elections, the Democrats for a surrender of
law and authority.
The struggle, whatever its duration, will
be bitter. The Democrats threaten to re-
sort to extreme measures. to withhold approp-
riations and close the courts of the country,
to obstruct the wheels of Government unless
they are permitted to repeal wise law
framed Tor the purpose of securing free and
hOuOo1 CiOCelOAS' 1DOil puIpUSc Is QUtulDS
less than revolutionary. In order to pro-
mote fraud at the polls they are ready to de-
lay the public business, to disturb industrial
interests, and to excite and alarm the nation.
Their success will be an invitation to fraud
and disorder, to bull-dozing and ballot box
stufing. 1t is difficult to believe that the
Democrats will dare to carry out their threat
ening scheme. But thsy are open in the
avowal of their purpose, and unhesitatingly
declare that they will use their majority
in the two Houses to effect that pur-
pose. If they persist, the only hope for
honest elections is in the frmness of the
President. Upon that firmness it is believed
that we can rely. The Executive has an
opportunity to stand tor the right, which
any man should proudly accept. The strug-.
gle certainly will be prolonged until the coun-
try understands the merits of the question
and learns upon whom rests the blame for
the delay in public business, and the removal
of the wise and necessary safeguards put
around the ballot-box.
The Portland daily press., 1879-03-19
To this argument from the New York
IilneSl there is no successful ansuar nnssihla

Tines there is no successful answer possible: ::
The President is required to consider every
act Of Congress, to give or withhold his assent
thereto according TO his own views of the poll
cy or the coustitutionaltt3 of the measure. He
is entitled to have legislation presented to him
in such form that he is free to pass upon it as
his Judgment may dictate. He cannot fairly
fulfil his duties under duress mposed by a
threatened withdrawal of supplies He is then
compelled to decide, not whether a measure re-
quires reconsideration by Congress, but
whether its adoption will be more hurtfal than
an interruption of important functions of the
Government That. the Executive should bs
placed in such position is wrong to the
people, far more than to him. The people is
entitled to his Independent and unforced ac-
tion. 1t has chosen him expressly to hold and
if he deems best TO wield, the power of the veto.
The right to ouercome the veto to pass into
laws bills to which the President objects, rests
in two-thirds of each house acting concurrent
ly. 1t is so placed By the Constitution, and
cannot be otherwise exercised. But if meas
ure of legislation can be forced upon the Presi-
dent against his approval by emtodying it in
an appropriation bill, which requires only
majority of each house, then plainly the Con-
stitution is violated il one Cf its essential fea
lures. The veto ceases to have any practical
ualun
