A Princes Gift.
From tho London Telegraph


IT, NAV with truth be said of oil the
great Hohenzollerns who have played
such conspicuous parts in modern his
tory that no childish appeal to their
sympathies or generosity ever failed to
obtain prompt and benevolent recogni-
ton. The most recent exemplitication
of this amiable characteristic of war
rior race is afforded by kindly action Of
the German crown prince. One Paul
Brandt, a fatherless lad, only nine years
old having exhibited a remarkable
capacity for music, was taken some
months ago into Ramarowski's Victoria
institute, there to be gratuitously in
structed in tone art generally, and In
violin playing particularly. On the 22d
of march this courageous little fellow ad-
dressed birthday congratulation to the
venerable emperor, in which he embodied
q petition for q new fiddle, upon the
pertinent ground that his own violin
80 scraped SO awfully" that he could bear
with it no longer. Through the accident
that young Brandt had addressed his
letter to "his royal highness" instead OF
"his imperial majesty" the petition
came to the crown princes hands, and
the future German emperor, upon perus-
ing it forthwith directed his court mar
shal to make inquiries at the Victoria
institute respecting the youthful appli,
can't and his awfully scraping instrument.
The truth of little Paups allegations hav'
ing been fully established by Count Eu'
lenburg's Investigations, the crown prince
proceeded to purchase good soune
violin. which he dispatched to the instl
tute on Whitsunday last as q "pfngst'
oeschenck" for Paul Brandt. 1t Is b.
such tender deeds as this that princes
most surely win their way to the hearts
of their people.

A Silly Lie Exploded.

The Democratic mud-slingers have
warmed up to their work sufficiently to
charge General Garfield with refusing to
pay for the clothes he had made when a
poor young man, until he had been
dunned a number of times. The Troy
Press, eager to do some of the heavy
work of the canvass, lends itself to the
silly business, butt its haste it makes
the blunder of naming the man who
made the clothes. The latter gentleman,
Peter S. Haskell by name, publishes II
card in the Troy Times denying the
story in this concise way: at is true l
made suit of clothes for Mr.. Garfield
when he was preaching and teach
ing in Poestenkill, in this county.
He was then a poor young man,
struggling to obtain al education.
One of my customers came to me and
said: There is young man in the vii
lage who wants suit of clothes. He
cannot pay for them now, but You will
get your money. Will you make them
for him l replied that would. Ina
day or two Mr.. Garfield came in, told
me his circumstances and the amount of
time he would require to pay for the
clothes. In exact accordance with his
agreement he paid me, and Ibid nothave
to Jog his memory to get the money. l
regard james A. Garfield as an honest
and truthful man, and am very sorry to
see thus early in the campaign an effort
made to impeach his character"

A Democratic Arrangement Of DemOc.
rlcv.

Some of the Democratic journals,
notably those Mt Washington, are waking
up to the fact that the policy of the
Democrats in congress is not such as TO
commend the party to the favor of think
ing, patriotic people. They have given
their Democratic brethren some advice
which is unusually wise and polite, con-
sidering the source, and is frank con-
fessiOn of much that the Republicans
have charged against the Democratic
party as it appears in congress. The I'M
wisdom, not to say injustice of the cam
paign of calumny inaugurated against
Garfield has been presented III strong
terms by the papers named, and now the
Washington Sunday Herald, n Demo-
cratic paper, gives this clear and truth
full exposition of the Democratic policy:
The United States Courts arc at a standstill,
owing to the lack of money to pay jurors and
other expenses. As the season is so far adj
yanced toward the time for the usual midsunl-
mer vacation, not only the prosecution OF Grim
inals, but the vast mass of litigation which
crowdsthc dockets of these courts must be post
poned for several months, involving greatly
increased expense to the government and still
greater expense and Inconvenience to htigants.
The fact that the course OF justice has been thus
ObStflcted through tne IaiItlre Vi DeniocraIc
congress to perform its duty of making the
necessary appropriations will be made use 20 OF
from thousand rostrums and through TO-
600 papers during this summer to convince the
people that party capable of such plg-headed
sally il not fit to govern this country; and there
if no denying that the argument il good one,
30 far as it goes; The charge that the Demo-
cratic party would starve the government was
effective last year. 1t will be still more effect
i've this year, because T. ere is not the same
excuse that then existed for failures to make
the appropriations which first block the opera
tons Of one and then of another important
branch of the public service. few weeks ago
thousands of pOstoflices were without the power
to buy candle, light a gas-jet, or start fire,
and now the whole judicial arm of the nation Ii
compelled to suspend its functions.
LIS a party that stands charged by one
of its own journals of incompetency, or,
worse, disregard for the welfare OF the
government, worthy of the confidence OF
the people and the control of the national
administration of public affairs? This is
is question for every voter to ponder
and answer at the polls.

Patriotism nj q Discount.
IFrom Harper's Magazine.1


Soon after the firing on Sumter gen
tleman from New York, who passes his
summers by the waters of South Bay,
had occasion to drive from New York to
Islip, and to pass through the principal
villages along the shore. Nearly every
where the patriotism of the people was
manifested by numerous flags that waved
from poles or were flung from windows,
and each village contained men who
were discussing the important events OF
the day. One village only was without
bunting, and there was a sullen crowd
at the principal store, whose breathings
were anything but loyal. The gentleman
was well known to the inhabitants, and
felt justified in reproving them for their
political attitude. He told what he had
seen on his way down, how the other
villages were decked with flags, and
asked why they did not do like their
neighbors. The men looked one toward
another for several moments, and
finally the boldest ventured to speak.
Flags, eh?" said he, in tone OF
whitening contempt. "Flags!- and

How and Where ShOddy Originated.

lrTOh Tic DpStpu Ductlu,I
Franklin, Mass, received its name in
honor of the great DIR. Franklin, and
that it's learned and sympathetic god
father, being advised by friend to
present it with IA bell, sent it gift of
books instead, saying that he knew such
a people would prefer sense to sound,
are historical facts Of such general nc
ccptance as need no further repetition.
But fact which is not so well known,
and which will doubtless prove equally
interesting to our practical readers, is,
that the first shoddy-picker ever put in
operation in the United States was put
up in this town in 1913 by Joseph Ray.
It will doubtless cause some surprise
to many of the thousands now engaged
in the great wooden rag and shoddy in
terest of the country to know that when
Joseph Ray, who was then eighteen
years of age, set up his first rude picker
in Unionville, in the town of Franklin.
he was able to buy soft wooden rags at
$40 per ton, or at about one cent a
pound. How great has been the subse-
quent influence of the industry thus be-
gun, in utilizing and giving value to a
hitherto waste material, is apparent at a
glance to those who are aware that the
same class of soft wooden rags command
as high as % and "a cents pound from
the shoddy manufacturers of to-day.
The state of Massachusetts alone now
contains over forty shoddy mills, with
upward of 100 pickers, capable of pro-
ducing sixty Thousand pounds of shoddy
per day in ten hours, or about rs, 900, 900
to 30, 600, 900 pounds per annum.
A shoddy picker is not an intricate
piece of mechanism, seldom costing
above $3.50. 1t contains cylinder whose
surface is covered with sharp steel pins,
and when the picker is in operation the
cylinder revolves Mt the rate of 600 revo-
lutions or more per minute. The rags
or other material to be shoddied are fed
into one end of the picker and are caught
between two steel-bound rolls which
hold them in position against the teeth
of the revolving cylinder, the teeth tear
the rags apart and resolve them into the
original wool again, in which form they
are blown out of the opposite end of the
picker and fall upon the floor ready to
be carded or baled for market or taken
into the wooden mill and made into new
cloth
