Among others, James A.

WHAT Is IT.?

Several correspondents, among
them al esteemed clergyman
in a neighborlng town OF New
Jersey, have requested us to
answer this question. They I'M
derstand, we suppose, the rela-
tions Of Mr.. Garfield to the
Credit Mobilier. The broad
relations Of the Credit Mobilier
to congress and to the people
are less clear to their minds.
4 few years ago the United
States endowed magniiicently
with it's land and bonds, and
many valuable privileges, &
company organized to build the
Union Pacific railway. When
certain shreWd managers of this
concern came to count up the
cost of the work and to cast up
the assets to be applied to it,
they found an enormous bal
ance on the right side Of the
book. In order to absorb this
balance and transfer it to their
own pockets, they Immediately
proceeded to form an inside
ring to build the road. They
bought, sn old Pennsylvania
charter called the Credit NIobil-
ier, which was admirably adapt
ed for the swiudlo in view, and
under that charter name began
the execution OF one Of the most
remarkable s. successful frauds
in history.
AS officers Of the Union Pa
cific, the members; Of the Credit
lEobi:iCr contracted with them
selves for the construction OF
the line, and fixed tleir own
figures for the work. They thus
stripped the Union Pacific Of
everything Of value belonging
to if, and set it over TO the
Credit Mobiiicr. With one
hand they robbed the treasury
of the railway company, ANA
with the other they stuffed the
plunder into the treasury Of the
construction ring, whence itWas
to the individual
conspirators in the form of di-
vidcnds of cash, bonds and
stocks.
But the United States, in
slight return for its uneXam-
pied bounty, had taken a first
mortgage Oh the property. This
WAS incOnvcnient to the ring.
Having absorbed everything
else, they now desire to put a
first mortgage on the road, and
take the bonds Of that also.
But that could be done only by
getting rid OF the tirstmortgage
OF the United States; that,
again, could be effected only by
act Of congress. To simple
minded and honest men this
would seem like q very difficult
thing to accomplish; to them it
appeared easy enough. They
set apart u certain amount OF
the enormously valuable stocl;
OF the Credit Mobilicr--stocl1
which represented both the
plumber Of the past and the
| plunder Of the ti!turc-and gave
| it to Oakcs AncS, who agreed
to "place 1t where it would do
the most Good.'
He was u member Of congress,
and wa>, not Ui!justIy, supposed
to know exactly how to employ
Ait in order to corrupt thc suur-
ccs OF legislation. With the
corruption fund he bought the
vice president, several senSat-
ors and the chairman OF the
leading committees Of the
house. Then, by the votes and
influence OF these men the de-
sired legislation was Lad, and a
new field of pillagc was laid
open to the ring, iii which the
| Governments and the Stoclihold,
crs Of the Union Pacific were
equal suffers.

Saving the Children.

A mother, approaching the need of
personal instruction to guard children
against the vice that will certainly as
sail them, wisely counsels parents
and mothers partlcularly-as below:
You must be companion to your
children, both sons and daughters.
Talk with them about evils to which
they are exposed, and impress upon
them with all the power of which you
are capable the fearful consequences of
a violation of the seventh command
ment, making it reach, as the Savior
does, to the Utmost thoughts of the
heart, and by right associations, and a
pure literature, aid them in keeping
the thought pure. Then, too, the
dren in this regard by proper attention
to their physiological habits. See that
they have wholesome, unstimulating
diet, with liberal amount of exercise,
and regularity in all their habits. With
Il proper use of all these means. and an
earnest seeking of the Spirits guidance,
we may reasonably hope to save our
children.
But for the benefit of young mothers
l must make another suggestion. You
know how very early there is develop
ed in most children, a certain kind of
curiOsity-a disposition to question you
upon subjects which you always feel
inclined to evade, and often do evade
even to classifying the truth. Oh, what
a fatal mistakel
Just there, mother, is the beginning
of your opportunity, for it is much
harder to begin with grown up chill
dren. If you cannot at once answer
your child truthfully and properly, you
can say to him, "My dear, mamma can
not tell you now, you are not old
enough to understand, by and by
Then be sure to remember your prom
Use pray over it and watch your time.
A delicate mind will find delicate
and proper way of doing all these
things, and as your children mature,
you will be surprised to find what
bond of unison is thus created between
yourself and them: instead of seeking
the desired information from the i'm
pure and vulgar, they will come to you
ut all times. You, mother, will become
the cOnfddnt of your children of both
sexes. Into your ear they will whisper
their loves, and joys; or upon your
bosom pour out their disappointments
and sorrows, and, oh, the power you
have thus gained for good, no tongue
can tell. And while the careless, or
the timid aud unfaithful mother will
groan in sleepless agony over her lost
or hayward children, your heart will
sing for jOy.-AdUdnce.

Plymouth Rock.

1t is interesting to know that Plym-
outh rock has been moved again. The
pilgrim sons never let it lie a great
while in one place, it looks so nice in
the ''front yard" that it is kept on the
go. In the first place, the pilgrims
didn't pay much attention to the rock,
except to land on it. They didn't ex-
pect the country would amount to
much or the rock be any great keep
sake. After while the rock began to
grow celebrated in song, and it was
discovered that the necessity of bet
ter wharf had led to the projection of a
wooden pier out into the water and the
covering up of the sacred rock itself by
the bed of the road thereto. When
the memorial monument was erected
the stone was so far below the bed of
the street that it had to be internally
blasted and raised up. The memorial
canopy stands on this raised section OF
the rock. Another piece was split of
and carried up into the main street in
front of Memorial hall, whence it has
now been returned to its original rock,
where there is no place for it. Like
the body of a murdered man, it cannot
be easily disposed of, and will testify to
all eternity to the violation of the sa-
cred spot. Sisyphus's celebrated re-
volver, which always rolled to the foot
of the hill as soon as he got it to the
top, could not have given more trouble,
or better symbolized an outraged con-
science.

Yankee Uppishness.

More than one man has inveighed
against the uppishness of the Yankee
girls. They refuse not only to do house
work, but of late years also decline to
go into the mills. In Willimantic, CT,
for example, you will find that the
mill women, almost without exception,
are Irish, but latterly French and Nor
wegians or Swedes are coming in pref
ty freely. The Yankee girl, forsooth,
must be milliner or nothing. These
are almost the words of man with
whom l talked two days ago and what
he said was confirmed by the officer
who showed me through the mills.
"They are all Irish, you may say" was
his remark, as we paused in room full
of female operatives. Much the same
expressions, only intensified almost to
bitterness, are used by the upper classes
in regard to the male Yankees. "The
Yankee has got to be so self-important
that he is good for nothing as a work.
man." said a New Haven manufacturer
to me. 81 wouldn't give one Swede for
dozen of 'em," he added "their heads
are full of politics, and they are too
smart for their own good. 1t is not so
with the Swede." In precisely the
same tone others spoke of Yankee farm
hands. l do not call these house girls,
mechanics and farm hands yankees
The men who talked to me so abusive
ly about them call them so. Pride in
the New England race may still exist,
does and must exist; but pride in a
Yankee simply because he is Yankee,
has ceased; l might almost say it has
given place to contempt. Nor is this
hard to account fort is the differen-
tiation produced by increasing wealth.

"The Cursed Liquor Stores ~

When the poor heart broken wife OF
the murdered Auction, who had been
stabbed to the heart by the drunken
brute Murphy few days ago, heard the
news of her husbands death, she ex-
claimed, "Oh the liquor stores, the
cursed liquor stores I"
If we only reflect on the feelings of
the wretched woman as she contem-
plated her butchered husband, brought
to bloody grave by rum, we should
shrink back in horror from the evils
and misfortunes produced by liquor
Rum is the most powerful agent the
devil has on earth, and to it may be
traced mostly all the crimes, murders
and debaucheries which disgrace socie-
ty and convert this beautiful world of
ours into a veritable hell. Like the
devil himself, it is the father of all
evils, and more souls have been lost
through its agency than from all other
causes combined.
We ask, is it not rum that has filled
our prisons with criminals, our poor
houses with paupers, our streets with
fallen women, and our asylums with lu-
natics?
AS soon as rum enters a household
the devil goes with it, and there is nei-
Their peace, happiness, or prosperity in
that family again.
Its inmates become wretched, vile
drnnkards, going about in rags, hunger
and nakedness, until they wind up in
the prison or pOOI-house, while the
1um-seller who supplies them with the
fatal poison keeps his fast horses, and
most likely his fast-we wont write
the word.
What fatal responsibility rests upon
those who sell whisky, for is it not
written, "WOe be to him by whom
scandal cometh2
The Lord God has emphatically de.
clared that "Neitber the drunkard mol

How this terrible sentence should
make drunkards tremblel Are they

Spelling Women's Names.

Many, if not a majority, of the names
of eight or nine hundred girls from the
public schools examined for admission
to the Normal College gives us the i'm
preston that they belong 10 mere
household pets rather than to young
women approaching maturity, and who
are engaged in serious work. These
girls apparently prefer nicknames by
which they are known in the family
circle and to intimate friends, and
Therefore take pains to adopt them in
their signatures.
In so doing the public schools are not
exceptional among young women, for
it is quite the fashion nowadays for
them to grow so enamOured of their
nursery applications that they cling to
them as their fixed aud proper names.
They may even be offended when they
are addressed by their correct names,
which they imagine less pretty than
these pet diminutives and some grave,
grown-up women will put Hattie or
Gussie, Mamie or Sallie on their cards
as if they were in pinafores still.
The fashion is American but our pa
triotism cannot make us grow fond of
it. The nicknames which appear in so
large share of the public school girls
signatures would do very well for pets
at dog-show. When they are used
to express the affectionate regard of
near friends and relatives, they also
may be pretty and appropriate, but
they look very silly in a formal sigma
ture, and surely do not befit the digni-
ty of wOman-hOod.
We find, for instance, among the
nine hundred names scores of Minnies
or NAMES, and only here and there a
Mary, q much more euphOnious and
dignified name. Jane is transformed
usually into Jennie, Caroline into Car
rie, Ellen into Ella, Elizabeth into Liz
zie and Bessie, Katherine into Katie,
Martha into Matte, Margaret into Mag
gle, Anne and Anna into Annie, and
Harriet into Hattie. Such absurd
names as these appear quite frequently
-Chattie, Liddie, Mile, Title, Kittie,
Rosie, Nettie, Bibbie, Aggie and Mar
gle.
The great aim seems to be to manu-
facture a name which ends in lie, and in
accomplishing it the finest appellations
for women we have, names renowned
in poetry and history, and of a sweet
melodious sound, are chopped up into
childish diminutives. They convey an
idea of pettiness, and do not belong to
girls, of dignity and character-girls
like these who are going to the Normal
College, so many of whom will have
their living to earn. And yet these
girls think it is pretty to be known by
such pet names, and so discard, as ug-
ly and old fashioned, the names by
which they were christened. What
would they think to see college regis
ter which gave the young mems names
as Jimmie, Billie, Bobbie, Tommie,
Charlie, Sammie and Dickie?
This fashion is extending among
women, and girls are even named with
nicknames only, as if they were always
to be mere nursery pets. And yet this
is period when women are contending
for higher consideration as rational be-
ings, and when the range of their occu-
patiOns outside of the domestic circle is
constantly widening and growing in i'm
portance.-N. T. San.
