National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1880-06-12

Politics make strange bcdiellowsn
LYMAN TEUMBULL the once earnest re-
publican, IS now the candidate of the
democratic party for governor of Illinois
But Dir. TRUMBULLs republican principles
were considerably modified after the i'm
parchment trial of ANDREW JouNsoN-so
mucl 30 that he has never since been in
accord with the party which had made him
senator And now, US for somc time past
he has really been, he sleeps in the demo-
cratic camp, aud is fully prepared to accept
all the honors which that party i1ay thrust
upon him. Disappointed ambition soured
him. Dogmntical aud oyerbenring, he
sought to lead where ADLER men refused to
follow. Love Of Office is the first principle
Of LYMAN TRUMBULL. He has been on
the retired list so long that he accepts with
alacrity the offer Of an empty nomination.

Colonel Anthony, now governor ot

shot dead in IA recent quarrel at eaven-

1t is stated that the German explorer,
Rudolf Talk, has written from San
Francisco to his friends in his native
country announcing that "a monument
in Bolivia, much more ancient than the
times of the Incas, has given him a clew
to the origin of speech and writing.
Says Robert Burdette: "Strange,
that our youth and goodness should so
generally pass away together. And
Xet 1 sometimes hope l am-as good as l
am old. Even if l was, 1 wouldn't
have to be too good. 1 wouldn't have
to be so dreadfully good for a man, but
it would be awfully good for a horse"

Two Mice in a GLASS Ball.

Mr.. F. B. Spencer, of Elizabeth, N.
j., of the firm of Irwin & Spencer, has
now in his possession two brown mice
securely entrapped IN a glass ball, such
as is used by marksmen. He found
them recently in a barrel of glass balls
at Brinton Range. The balls had been
stored there nearly all summer for &C.
casional practice, and last week Mr..
Spencer emptied the barrel to clean it
out. In picking out the balls he no
ticed that one near the bottom of the
barrel felt a little heavy, and, examin-
ing it, found the two bright eyed little
creatures securely imprisoned in their
crystal home, and has fed them and
taken good care of them ever since.
The question how they got in the ball
is somewhat OF a conundrum, but it is
supposed they crept in through the
small opening when they were young,
and, being fed there, grew till they
could not get out.

Got Rich on Telephone Stock.


T. NJ. Vail, who was last year super
intendent of the Railway Mail service,
resigned to accept the SUPPLEMENTARY
of the Bell Telephone Company. Last
June the stock of this company was
selling for about 80 cents on the dollar.
Six months later $1,000 per share of
$50 each was offered for it, and refus-
ed. In the beginning there was but
500, 900 of this stock in existence.
Now a company is forming with ST.
600, 900 of stock that will be sold at par.
The Bell and Edison patents have been
pooled, and a concern whose business
is soon expected to rival that of the
Western Union Telegraph Company is
springing up. Vail was in the crowd
that realized on the rise, and is said to
have pocketed a round half million by
the transaction. A pretty good jump
from SO, 200 a year in the employ of
Uncle Sam! Vail, while he thus got
himself on ''the big thing" did not for
get some of his old friends in the post
office department, and the story has it
that Assistant Postmaster General
Brady has made several hundred thou
sand dollars in the same stock. Among
other well-known men who have, it is
said, woke up and found themselves
rich because of a good load of telephone
stock, is U. H Painter, the shrewd cor
respondent of the Philadelphia Inquirer.
He is reported to have dipped in with
the stock at 60 per cent, and got out
when it reached $3.50 per share,-about
$685. 900 ahead.

President Iaekson,s Letter.


The Cincinnati Commercial of Jan.
8 printed a fac simile of the handwrit-
ing Gen. Jackson while president. 1t is
in the form of a memorandum-note to
Amos Kendall, defining Jackson's views
of the rights of States. 1t reads:
Modification is revolution-and if a
state attempts to nullify the laws of
the United States by force, it is rebel
lion, and if she possesses the physical
power to resist successfully, then she
has the right to establish her own gov
eminent, and If the balance of the
states have the physical power, they
have a perfect right under this confeder-
alton of perpetual & perfect union, to
coerce her to obedience. For a state
to go out of the Union %peaceably she
must obtain the consent of that num-
gives the power to alter & amend it.
The people being the fountain of all
sovereign power have a right to alter IL
change their government; and the con-
federated and perpetual union formed
by themselves, upon which the more
perfect union, the constitution of the
United States, is based, provides how
it IA be altered or desolved-any other
mode to alter it is, revolution, d uar.
1t will be noted that this from Old
Hickory is significant, the clearest
statement that has been made of his
views of the rights of states, and reads
like prophecy. The original MS. is in
the possession of the ohio'historial So

A Rifle Wins q BRIDE.

The news of a curious sequel of a
love affair has just reached us, says the
Portland (Oregon) Bee, here from Port
Townsend. A certain young man in
that county fell in love with a beauti-
full young lady residing near Port
Townsend. His passion being prompt
ly r~eciprocated, marriage was soon pro-
posed; but the young lady's parents
would have none of this. The father
and a bel!igerent uncle threatened to
do the young Romeo serious personal
Injuries in case case his attentions to
mis- fiancee were continued, and forbade
him eve again entering the premises.
The young lady is represented as having
been bitterly prosecuted on account of
her refusal to circumference the dis
carded sutton. The young man becom-
ing aware of this fact determined at
once to consummate the nuptials. Ac-
cordingly, procuring a license and the
services of the necessarily constituted
authority, and withal a good Winchest-
er rifle, repaired at once to the abode
of the young woman's parents. En-
countering the father and the irate
uncle in the yard, he babe them 'shands
off, " declaring that they had threaten
ed to do him personal injury, and that
in the eyes of the law he would be justi-
fed in doing serious execution with his
rifle in case they attempted to execute
them, and right there before the gaze
Of the two astonished belligerents, with
n eye fixed on them, the other On the
fair n by his side, and with n hand
clutching his rifle and the other hand
grasping that of his afianced, the nup-
tial knot was tied, when the happy
couple departed.

GOOD SERVANTS WANTED.
TOpelousas Courier. !

II we are to judge by the difficulty
of hiring cooks, housemaids and nur-
ses, the most of our laboring classes
In Opelousas have certainly reached
very independent and comfortable cir
cumstances in life. During the month
of November, and up to this date, the
demand for such help has been very
great, yet, many have been unable to
procure them, even at an advance up
on former wages. Comparatively
speaking, there are very few servants
in our town who are worth hiring. If
they are not lazy, dishonest, or indif-
ferent about their duties, they are as
impudent and saucy as the old Nick.
There are some exceptions to the above
class, but the number Is exceedingly
limited. There is no trouble in find
ing plenty of them out of employment,
yet they do not care to hire. It seems
that they can live without work. 1t
matters not how well they are treated;
how light the labor to be performed |;
or how promptly the wages are paid,
this class of servants will not remain
long in the best of positions. They
must change about, from one placs to
another, although they may suffer
loss by their rowing natures.
But our people are much to blame
for this condition of affairs. We have
shown too much dependence upon this
kind of labor, by accounting, and put
ting up with any sort of services, and
paying the wages, which should have
commanded the very best of servants.
We should adopt the plan pursued in
the Northern States-viz to hire no
cook, housemaid, washerwoman, &C.,
unless they could produce certificate
of honesty, industry, and capability in
the work they protested TO perform
and let the different services and
agreeghent of the employer and en-
ploy% be specifically stated in a writ
ten contract.

JEFFERSON OR SMITH 2
IChicago Times.1


Deacon Smith, of Cincinnati, objects
to the judgment of the French author
who, in selecting a roll of hundred
of the worlds greatest men, assigns
but three to America, and those three
Washington, Franklin and Jefferson.
The deacon is moved to say "The in
quiry arises, npon what merit is, JEFF
fetson placed in that roll? What ideas
has he left embodid in the constitu-
ton, or measures in the aoministra-
ton of the government of his coun-
try? Can anybody name one idea of
Jefferson that is fixed in the constitu-
ton, or that aided in forming the con-
stitution, or one measure of his admin
istration that remains in our laws, or
one idea of his that dow remains the
principle of any political party p"
There is an impression abroad that the
man who wrote the declaration of in
dependence may properly be regarded
as possessing a few political ideas.
Still, if the deacon's design is to make
the .Frenchman withdraw Jefferson's
name and substitute that OF Smith,
nothing more will be said as to the de-
ciaration, for Smith, besides being
truly good, is truly great.

THE PIEDMONT AND ARLINGTON.

RICHMOND, Va, Dec. 1.-THE failure
of the Piedmont and Arlington Life
Insurance Company was announced
this morning. An assignment of all
its personal and real property has been
made to Angus r. Blakey, trustee, for
the benefit of the policy-holders. The
company has been embarrassed for
some time, but the immediate cause of
suspension was the extraordinary NOR
tality among the policy holders this
year, and the pressure in courts by the
holders of these claims for Judgment
against the company. No exact esti-
mate of the liabilities can be made
until the actuary has examined each
policy and reported. An estimate of
the assets is now being made, but will
not be completed for several days. a
circular TO the policy-holders, giving
them full and accurate information as
to the condition of the company will
soon thereafter convene them to decide
whether they viii reorganize the COM
| pany or take steps to reinsure their
risks out of the net assets which may
| be realized under the deed.
