But the child only held his hand the
tighter.
Don't go-you mustn't go! Mamma,
tell him to stay" he said fretfully.
His mother, thinking only of him, looked
up TO speak, but something in Geoffreys
face made her stop short For the first
time she colored vividly, and her usual
calmness forsook her.
Il think he must 60 now, my darling"
she said hurriedly; "but he will come again
and see you perhaps, and sit with you when
l am out"
| The tears gathered in the child's eyes.
Mrs. Elton looked infinitely panied and dis
| tressed but, before Cecil could speak, Geof-
frey came to her rescue.
'Look here, my buy, you must try not to
worry poor mamma, who is so unhappy
about you, and I'll come to you as often as
can. But remember, grown-up men have
| lots of letters to write, and must go and
see my friends at Newland Abbey some
times so l can't be always here, and you
must think to yourself, when l don't come,
He's got something else he must do, but
doesn't like doing as much as coming here,
and be patient. This afternoon l will ride
over to Shlborough and get you the pret-
test air-story l can find, and your mother
will road it to you if you are good and try to
go to sloop Will that do?"
"Yes, thank you lot; you are kind
man, and the heavy eyes frightened as they
looked up into the face bending tenderly
over them. .
Geofrrey stopped and kissed the little
white fnce, and then rose to CO. Mrs. Elton
followed him to the door OF the room and
held out her hand.
Il do not know how to thank you," she
said in quivering voice, her eyes SWIM
ming with tears.
"Don't try. Can't you understand what a
pleasure it is to me p he replied, in low,
hurried tone "May 1 bring him the book
this evening? You surely will not let con.
ventionalities stand between your child and
his wishes at such time"
"No, | will not 1t matters little enough
to me what people say or think now. Bring
the book, and come and see him as often as
you will"
She turned back to return to her child's
bedside and Geoffrey went away, thankful
that he had been able to resist the tempta-
ton to take her in his arms and tell her how
he loved her as she stood there looking SO
lovely in her sadness.

PROBABLY no city in the world has
streets more uniformly clean than Paris
A small army, it is true, is employed to
bring about this desired result, but the
satisfactory part of it is that the result
aimed at is attained. The perfect clean
illness and salubrity of the cutters is how
ever largely maintained by the constant
habit of flushing them out with water,
which in some at least is running through
them nearly constantly. The action
taken ON last Friday night in the Board
of Aldermen to give our cutters thor
Ough flushing is a step in the right direc-
ton, and makes us wish that the example
of doing so once might become habit.
The cleaning properties of running wa
ter is such that there is nothing
seemingly 50 desirable in this city as
to be able i'll not weather TO keep the
cutters thus purified. The objection is
of course instantly made that it is i'm
practicable to pump water to let run
through the cutters of the city without
involving an outlay that renders it i'm,
possible. 1t has already been suggested
that the Miami Canal has the supply
which might be employed for this pur
pose in all those streets whose levels are
such as to permit this, 1t seems to u.

ALMOST any man of spirit will fight
for his dog, and he who would not
bravely stand up in defense of his hens
Is craven indeed. In Sicily recently a
tax was levied on hens, for some reason
which has not been satisfactorily ex-
planned. Nowhere but in Sicily, per-
haps, would Lawmakers think of de-
waiting from the time-hOnored practice
Of exempting the female sex from the
vexations of taxes and the ballot, but
In Sicily, at least, they framed this
obnoxious law which subjected the
frugal and industrious hen to tax and
utterly ignored that lordly loiterer, the
rooster. The population of Caltabiano
were indignant at this discrimination, and
assembling in the public square, they
entered clanorous protest. The mill
tary were called out, but the excited
populace greeted them with stones.
Thereupon the soldiers fired voIley after
volley into the crowd, moving down
many innocent spectators, killing eighteen
outright Nnd wounding many Others
Thus did the affair which had such a
ridiculous origin end in bloody TRAGEDY,
long to be remembered by the simple
minded peasants. Those who were not
shot down by the military fled in dismay
to the country, and at last accounts their
crops were suffering for want of hands to
gather them in.

ECONOMICAL JUSTICE,

Until quite recently gentlemen in
Japan who holding official positions, had
made themselves obnoxious to the ruling
bowers, or who had been detected in seri-
Dus malfcasances in Office, were required
to expiate their ofenses by impaling
themselves on the point of saber or
spear, somewhat after the manner that
that noble old Roman, Cato, did. In the
case of defauIting Bank Presidents and
all classes of swindling officials this i'm
perative necessity of retiring from active
life proved to be far more effective than
Jury trials to keep down the class of hui
man vuItures who fatten on the property
of Others. Japan hasn't gained anything
by abolishing the custom. More civil
lied nations might be much benefited by
adopting and enforcing the custom of
harri-kari.
Self immolation amongst criminals
might be encouraged to the advantage OF
the public everywhere. The absolute
criminal should not be deprived of any
facility to take his own life. Jury trials
are expensive and uncertain. The time
of criminal courts and the most laborious
efforts of attorneys are squandered in the
technical efforts to save criminals from
punishment, when if the criminals them,
selves were allowed a little more latitude
they would in a large number of cases
waive trial by committing suicide.

Never allow diarrh9a, dysentery, or any
bowel affection to have its own way, or Sc
rious consequences may result. BY neg,
lecting such complaints the system is often
rapidly reduced to condition beyond the
help of medicines, before the patient can
realize the necessity of looking about him
for a remedy. AT this season of the year
especially, everybody should be provided
with that certain and safe curative for all

affections may be promptly and etticacious-
ly treated.

The Tobacco Tax.

Among tht important measures
now pending in Congress, there is
none on which action is awaited
with greater interest than he pro
posed reduction OF the tobacco tax.
The delay which has attended this
measure has greatly embarrassed one
of our principal industries, has
thrown Thousands of men out of
employment, and has seriously de-
ranged other departments of bus.-
ness. The iiiibustering of Mr.. Eos
ter and others III the House. last
session, delayed its passage until 1t
WAS too late for the Senate TO act
upon it. Since that time the cntir"
tobacco interest has been in IL state
OF suspense. 1t has not been safe
to make heavy transactions OF to
make contracts, for all su Ia were
likely To be seriously affected hy The

TIE Democratic Senators held a
caucus this morning to consider
what course to pnrsur on the reso-
luton of Senator EdmundS, now
pending in the Senate In relation to
the enforcement of the 10, and
l54 Ii, amendments, and to protect
all citizens in The exercise of all
rights secured 10y the laws passed
for that purpose, etc. They agreed
upon a substitute for the above
named; resolution which will be
offered hen it shall be- taken up
for consideration in the Senate.
While in this substitute they admit
The -, Ii and 18Th amendments to
the constitution to be Of binding
force and validity, they regard
Senator ElmuHd's resolution as
proposing Legislature action in con
tlict with decisions of The Supreme
Court OF the United States, paitIcu
larly IN the CRU shank case regard
ing these amendments, and they
quote from the dicta of the court
10 sustain the ground which will
he taken in the substitute, that the
United States have 10 citizens
distInciively their owD; that the
constitution does not confer the
right To vote on any one, but simply
confers the privilege of freedom
from any discrimination on account
OF race, color or previous condition
and that the regulation of suffrage
belongs exc!u >lvely TO the several
States.
