The daily Cairo bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1878-1???, 1879-03-18

THE avowal may fail to meet bourbonic
approval but we feel constrained to confess
that jeff Davis name ought not to find II
place ON the Mexican pension roll In the
first place he has forfeited all right to
share in the munifcence of the government;
and in the second place the granting of the
pension would only furnish him an oppor-
tunity to spit upon the hand that rendered
it. lie has avowcd and reiterated his abil
ity and desire to live without govern
mental recognition in any way, and the
spectacle of great nation getting down on
its knees and asking HIM--"a double-dycd
arch traitor'-to please accept its favors
and become reconcied, is u spectacle that
raises the gorge of every man in the country
in whose veins there is single drop Of
patriotic blood. 1t is humliating, dis
gushing beyond expression.
The daily Cairo bulletin. (Cairo, Ill.) 1878-1???, 1879-03-18

IT WAS keen, cutting retort that Zach
Chandler gave to Senator Morgan the other
day. The motion to drop jeff DAVIS name
from the Mexican pension roll was under
discussion, and Chandler had Just con-
cluded speech bitterly dcnunciatory of
Davis, concluding with the remark that
"every man, woman and child in the North
knew him to be double-dyed traitor to
his country" Mr.. Morgan demanded to
know, if such was the belief, why Davis
was not tried. "Who, | desire to ask,
went on his bond when he was released
from prison 2" Instantly, and without the
change of feature, Chandler replied:
"The Democratic candidate for the presi
dency,I believe, went on his bond" 1t is
perhaps needless to add that Morgan had
no more questions to ask--on that occasion.

The Foolish Traveller.

story" said youth to his teacher. ~
hate serious instruction / cannot bear
preaching"
Listen, then, said the teacher. A
wanderer filed his travelling pouch with
savory meats and fruits, as his way
would lead him across wild desert
During the first few days he journeyed
through the smiling, fertile fields. In
stead of plucking the fruits which
nature offered for the refreshment Of the
traveller, he found 1t more convenient
to eat of the provisions which he carried
with him. He soon reached the desert.
After journeying onward for a few days
his Whole store of food was exhausted.
He began to wall and lament, for no
where sprouted blade of grass, every
thing was covered with burning sand.
After suffering for two days in torments
of hunger and thirst he expired"
cit was foolish in him." said the
youth, "to forget that he had to cross
the deserts"
"Do you act more wisely 2" asked the
teacher, in an earnest tone. "You are
setting forth on the journey of life, q
journey that leads to eternity. Now is
the time when you should seek after
knowledge and collect the treasures Of
wisdom, but the labor affrights you, and
you prefer to trihe away the spring time
ofyour years amid useless and childish
pleasures. Continue to act thus and
you will yet, upon the journey of life,
when wisdom and virtue fail you, fare
like that hapless wanderer."
'',Do you act more wisely ~ This is the
meaning of the parable to the reader.

The Wrong Tools.

Graded in the lap of luxury. I'm

remarked voice in the rear of the

He scorned to notice the interruption,
but proceeded
" Yes, feller-citizens, I'm proud Of

commercial structures, and heaven

The tools were handed to him, and
he scrutinized them with deep inter-

An Unwilling Juror.

T ONCE heard this anecdote of Judge
i Parsons, said the Rev. James Free
man Clark, the great Massachusetts ad-
vocate and lawyer. 1t is said that, be-
ing about to try a mercantile case, he
ordered jury to be summoned, and
among the names was that of Colonel
Thomas III. Perkins, the leading mer-
chant of Boston in that day, and per-
sonal friend of Judge Parsons. When
the officer made the return, he laid down
a fifty dollar bill before the judge.
"What is that?" said Parsons.
"Col. Perkins says he is very busy
indeed, to-day, and prefers to pay his
fine."
"Take that back to Col. Perkins, - the
Judge said "and tell him to come here.
at once, and if he refuses, bring him by
force"
When Col. Perkins appeared, the judge
looked sternly at him, and said:
"What do you mean, sir, by sending
money when you were summoned to sit
ON tnlS jury
Col. Perkins replied
Z" I meant no disrespect to the court,
your honor; but 1 was extremely busy
fitting out ship for the East Indies,
and thought if paid my fine might
be excused"
" Fitting out ship for the East In
dies, sirl" shouted the Judge; land
how happens it that you are able to fit
out ship for the East indies ?"
Your honor, ! DO not understand
you"
81 repeat, then, my question, how is
it that you are able to fit out ship for
the East Indies? If you do not know,
1 will tell you. 1t is because the laws
of your cohntry are properly admins
tered. If they were not, you would
have no ships. Take your seat, sir,
with the jury"

An Honest Legal Opinion.

A N HONEST farmer once called upon
IA the late Roger M. Sherman, the
celebrated lawyer, and told him that he
wanted an opinion. He had heard
great deal about the value of Mr.. Sher-
mans opinions, and how great many
people went to him to get an opinion
and John, though he never had had,
nor was likely to have, a lawsuit or
other difficulty for lawyer to help him
from, thought he would have an 'opin-
ion" too.
swell, John, what can 1 do for you %
said Mr.. S., when John, in his turn was
shown into his room.
Why, lawyer" replied John, "I
happened to be in town, and having
nothing to do, thought would come
and get your opinion"
State your case, John. What's the
matter 2"
"Oh nothing. 1 aint got no law
suit; only want to get one of your
opinions: they say they're very valua-
ble."
But, JOhn-abOut what Z"
"Oh any thing, sir; take your pick,
and choosel"
Mr.. Sherman, seeing the notions Of
his client on the matter in hand, took
pen, and writing few words, folded
them up and handed them to John, who
carefully placed the paper in his pocket.
"What's to pay, sir ?''
"Four and sixpence, yankee money
20 cents.
When John returned home the next
morning, he found his wife, who pretty
much took the lead in his business mat
ters, anxiously discussing with his chief
farm. servant, the propriety of getting
in large quantity of oats on that day,
which had been cut the one previous,
or of undertaking some other labor.
John was appealed to, to settle the
question; but he could not decide. AT
length, said he: "I'll tell you what,
Polly, I've been to lawyer, and got an
opinion that cost me four and sixpence.
There it is-read her out; it's lawyers
writing, and can't make head or tail
of iti''
John, by the way, could not read the
plainest print; but Polly, who was
something of scholar opened the paper,
and read as follows" Never put Off till
tomorrow, what can be done to-day"
Enough said J" cried John; " them
oats must be got in" And they were
81 got in - and the same night such
storm came on, as otherwise would have
ruined them entirely.
John often afterwards consulted this
opinion, and acted upon it; and to this
day entertains high estimate of law
yer's opinions generally, and OF the Ia
mented Mr.. Sherman's in particular.

day notified to take the ante-mortem statement Of

the effects of injuries received Wednesday at the
hands of Emil Dingle. Both men conductors in
the employ of the North Hudson County Railway.
and. with their families, occupy rooms in the

Virgins said Clauscn had long been suffering from
