Longfellow at Home.

Ho dresses in suit Of black broad
cloth and is very much Of Democrat
A charming conversationalist, he has
crawn many dear friends to him. He
has a marvellous faculty of putting one
quite at his ease. Rising early, he
takes comparatively light breakfast,
and, il the day is bright, INDUCES in a
walk of several hours, varying his route
daily. His rambles sometimes lead him
to that great city Of the dead, Mount
Auburn; occasionally he visits Cam
bridgeport, and once in great while he
walks to Boston to see his friends or his
publishers.
He calls on his printers every day or
two when he had anything TO put in
print and receives or returns proofs of
his works. The Winter he spends in
Cambridge and the Summer in his cot
tage at Nahant His carriage is erect,
and there is little in his manner TO
suggest his poem, "Morituri Salutmus."
The warmth of his love is lavished upon
his children, who are all in all to him.
Indeed, few men enjoy the company OF
those about them daily as does MIR.

grade of scholarship or business train
ing, but the managers and editors are
working as hard and closely as if they
were starting new enterprise. Let me
give some facts
All the editorial work is done at night,
the editors not coming down at all in
the day time.
Mr.. Chenery, the editor, sees the first
paper off the press every night.
Mr.. Mcdonald, the managing pub
fisher, sees the whole edition off the press
every night
The paper goes to press at $50 A. NJ;
but then the men know that from mid
night to 3 A. N. is the quarterback in
action Of morning paper, and they are
on it. Mr.. Walters (the main proprie-
tor's) own house is adjoining, and runs
into the Times building ; is substantially
part of it. The dwelling of Mr.. De-
lane, the late editor, stood quite near the
office, between Printing House Square
and the Temple He, too, always was
on deck at night until the paper went
down. Both of their dwellings are far
down town infinitely farther from the
social life and rest Of London than would
be Third and Chestnut from that of
Philadelphia. But the night is the life
Of a morning paper.-Correspondenoe

The Remedy.

The attempt to coerce either capital
or labor can only result in the over
throw of free institutions and the in
auguration of a despotic government.
Whatever is done, to be of any good eff
feet, must be done by society itself, each
individual in his own way contributing
something to the general good. 1t must
be confessed, however, that the prospect
of obtaining the radical reforms needed
is not very promising. The masses of
the people, high and low, seem utterly
unable to look beyond the selfish inter
est of the moment. On the one
side, there is brawling ignorance, with
its appalling list of course vices on the
other the overmasterihg lust for money
and power, no matter by what means
they are acquired The only practical
way of reform seem, to be to improve
the whole race-to produce race of
workers that are sober, honest, indus
trious and reliable and a race Of CAPT
talists that are not governed solely by
greed of money, or the thirst for power
and display. This would naturally be a
slow process, but it would be sure one
and it would be only the realization of
the dreams of poets and philosophers,
and the purposes Of philanthropists and
statesmen.-San Jose Mercury.

In 1774 the Friendship Fire Company,
which still exists, was organized. 1t at
first consisted of citizens who, out of
mutual friendship" agreed to carry to
every fire 'two leathern buckets and one
great bag of oznaburg or wider linen.'
Washington was made an honorary
member, and when he went as a delegate
to the Congress of IVA, at Philadelphia,
he examined the fire-engineS in use
there. On his return to Philadelphia to
the Continental Congress in 1775, he
bought from one Gibbs a small fourth
class engine for $50 1Os., and just before
he set out for Boston heights to become
commander-in-chief he dispatched this
little engine to the Friendship Company
When in Alexandria during his younger
days he always attended at fires, and as
sisted to extinguish them. In the last
year of his life fire occurred near the
market. He was riding down King
Street, followed by his servant, also on
horseback, and he saw the Friendship
engine poorly manned. Riding up to a
group of well-dressed gentlemen neal
by, he called out: "Why are you idle
there, gentlemen 1T is your business
to lead in these matters" And throw.
ing the bride of his horse to his servant
he leaped off and seized the brakes, fol.
lowed by crowd that gave the engine
such shaking up" as it never knew af'
terward. II William F. Carne, in Han.

THE exciting search for Springer's
eighty millions, which shook the West
few years ago, has broken out again in
a malignant form in Indiana. Scores of
heirs have risen up in Kokomo. Colum-
bus, Indianapolis, Terre Haute and the
region roundabout, and many lawyers
have been retained. The estate of the
celebrated Chaales Christopher Springer,
whose family thread the anxious inqui-
rers are now trying to ascend, is said to
include the present site of Wilmington,
Del. good deal of Stockholm, Sweden,
and large amount of money in the
Bank of Sweden. A special from Co
lumbus, Ind, to the Cincinnati CONNER
cial says: at is the opinion of the ma,
jority of our legal talent that there is
nothing at all in the case; in fact, it is
thought by many to be hoax, but new.
ertheless it has created somewhat Of a
furore among the Springers." But a
a correspondent of the Enquirer says
mo doubt is entertained that the heirs
will in due time be put in possession Of
this vast estate. 1t is said. too. that the
amount even far exceeds that already
mentioned, $s0,OOO.O0O."
Alta meeting of the Springer heirs held
at st. Louis, on the goth, cOmmittet
was appointed to take necessary steps t.
gain possession of the estate.

1t has made an end of the cry of
fraud as possible weapon In the next
campaign. The cipher dispatches, and
the attempts to buy votes in 1915. some
people said, were only the unauthorized
acts Of individuals. But this work In
Maine was the werk Of an entire party
within the State, aided, counseled, abet-
ted, and constantly encouraged by a
large proportion of the Democrats in
other States. For weeks it has been
plain that the main object was to steal
the electoral vote of a Northern State
for the Democratic candidate next fall,
and many Democratic journals have
publicly chuckled over the pretended
'prima facie validity" Of the. organiza-
tion of the Fusionists in Maine. as ba,
sis for Democratic electoral votes CT
prima facie validity. Beaten ro2ues
usually fall out. Soon we shall have
Democratic journals showing up the
part of Tifden and of other IlemocrRtie
leaders in the pecuniary and legal ar
rangements for this shameless robbery.
In future when a Democrat shouts
Fraud" people will stop his mouth
with the cry of "Maine."-New York

JOHN KELLY's programme, as laid
out at the meeting of anti-Tilden Dem
ocfats at Albany, Wednesday night,
seems to be to hold a formal State Con-
yention, elect delegates to the National
Democratic State Convention and con-
test before that body their claim to be
admitted to seats. The National Con-
vention would, of course. refuse them
admission; but John Kelly thinks--and
not without reason-that the spectacle
of divided party in New York would
convince the Convention of the imprac-
ticability of electing Tilden, and thus
insure the nomination of Seymour, Bay
ard, or some one on whom both factions
could unite. Tilden's defeat is all John
Kelly cares for; and if ne cannot ac-
complish it in this way, he is just the
sort of man to carry the fight into the
campaign, and beat him at the polls.
All this is not calculated to increase our
admiration for John Kelly, who is at
the best only shrewd self-seeking dem-
agogue; but it certainly shows thatt the
chances of Republican sucress in Jew
York are much better than the Desno-
Gratis are willing to admit.

Our Ohelisk.

The Egyptian obelisk soon to be
brought to this country was taken from
Heliopolis to Alexandria in the reign of
Libeius. The name .'Cleopatras Needle
by which it has been known for more
than a thousand years, was given by
mistake, rs it dates centuries back from
Cleopatra. even to the time of ThOtmes
Ill, the greatest of the Egyptian Princes
of the 18th dynasty, who reigned about
Is centuries before Christ. The mono
lith, therefore, was standing in the time
of Moses. and was, perhaps, seen by him.
The hieroglyphics of the south and east
faces are considerably injured either by
the action of the sun or by the fine par
ticles of sand driven against them by tho
wind. The western column of HERE
glyphics is remarkably well preserved.
but all are damaged at the bottom by the
piling of stones against the obelisk.
There is also notch in the southwest
corner that may have been made by a
cannon ball, but the column is in much
better condition than the one that stands
on the Thames embankment.

GEMS OF THOUGHT.

Excuse what you see amiss in others;
since all mankind are liable to errors.
God pardons like a mother. who kisses
the offense into everlasting forgiveness.
Study books to know how things
ought to be; study men to know how
things are.
Shame is worse than death. He who
weeps from the heart will draw tears.
from the blind.
A man that keeps riches and enjoys
them not, is like an ass that carries gold
and eats thistles.
In memory's mellowed light, We be-
hold not the thorns; we see only the
beautiful flowers.
1t is most mortifying reflection to
any man to consider what he has done
compared with what he might have
done.
They who can give up essential iibcr-
ty to obtain little temporary safety.
deserve neither liberty nor safety
Franklin.
Good temper is like sunny day; it
sheds brightness over everything; it is
the sweetener of toll and the sOOther Il
disquietude.
Keep your own secrets; for il you dis
cover them to another, and he reveals
them, you should pardon him for il,
since he is only treaeherOus by your eI-
ample.
Preiudices, it is well known. are the
most difficult to eradicate from the heart
whose soil has never been l0osened OF
fertilized by education; they grow there
as firm as weeds among rocks.
Character is good deal like clothing
it lasts its period, and makes us come
ly and presentable. But intellect is the
gem which becomes an heirloom, and gem
eratiOns worship.
If you would be exempt from uneaS,
ness, do nothing which you know or sus-
peet is wrong; and if you wish to emily
the present pleasure. always do every
thing in your power which you know TO
be right.
Joining in the amusement of Others is.
in our social state, the next thing To
sympathy in their distresses, and even
the slenderest bonds that holds society
together should rather be strengthened
than Snapped.-LanOOf.
1t is great and marvellous thing to e
a Christian. and God lays more stress 1n
that than on the sacrament. For the
Christian is not made for the sake Of the
sacrament. but the sacrament was insti-
tuted for the hristian.-Luthers
Show me the man you honor; know
by that symptom. better than by any
other. what kind Of man you yourself
are. For you show me there what your
ideal of manhood is, what kind of a man
you long inexpressibly to be.-Carlyle.
1t is a mistake to imagine that the vi
olent pa siOns only-such as ambition
and love-~can triumph over the rest.
Idleness, languid as it is. often masters
them all, influencing all our desigss and
actions. and insensibly consuming and
destroying both passitns and virtues

God Bless the Lads !
BY JOSEPHINE POLLARD.

A little lad used to meet,
Long years ago, upon the street,
Whose pleasant smile and look of truth,
The sweet attractiveness of youth,
So won my heart that | would watch
Among the crowd his nod to catch,
That was, upon cloudy day.
A bit of sunshine ON my way.
And answering back with smile as glad,
l said, God bless the little ladp
For him felt an anxious care,
In all his interests had share,
And planned what should his future be,
As if he had belonged to me.
As childless mothers, for the good
OF hearts instinct with motherhood,
Some little waif will kindly take
And cherish well for loves dear sake,
So /, whose lot in life was sad,
Took to my heart this little lad.
| knew not who his parents were,
Or where he lived; what did l care?
Or if his garments were as fine
AS should give child of mine?
My daily thought, my chief concern,
Was that he might no evil learn,
But strive in manliness to be
Foremost, and in integrity,
To rise by every chance he had,
To prove himself an honest lad.
Twas years ago used to know
This little lad and love him so,
And since our parting ne'er I've heard
Of him, or had single word
To cheer my thoughts; yet all the while
The recollection of his smile,
His hearty laugh, his look of truth,
The sweet attraetiveness of youth,
In many an hour have made me glad
That once l knew the little lad.
l can not think he went astray,
Or wandered in an evil way,
But must believe he's neat and trim
AS when first encountered him.
And when among the news l read
Of gallant or heroic deed,
l feel that he would do just So
This little lad / used to know;
And so pray while tear-drops fall,
"God bless the lads! God bless them all y

THE Pittsburgh Commercial-Gazett
seems to have serious forebodings con-
cerning this years wool clip, and ex-
presses itself on the subject in the fol-
lowing paragraph:
1t is possible that parties who have
made contracts for next years clip may
live long enough to regret their folly,
for from what we hear now more des-
perate attempt will be made to reduce
the tariff on wool and rags that has hith-
erto been tried. In such an event prices
would suffer material decline for per
haps the season, to the great discom-
fiture of SPECTATORS and the delight OF
all wooden manufacturers. In any event
contracting parties will be sure to get
dear wool whatever happens.
The hint which the Gazette gives to
over-sanguine dealers in wool is timely
no matter what the outcome may be, as
the fixing of prices now is not only ont
side the legitimate limits of trade, but is
financially dangerous. However, we dc
not apprehend such reduction in price:
as our worthy contemporary considers
probable Pittsburgh StOckman.

dents assembled in college: To-day a
man will be elected 10 the United States
Senate in Colnmbas. whO.. when boy,
was once the bell-rinser in this school
and afserward its president. Feeling
this. We ought. in some way, to recog-
nize this step in his history So. on the
following day Mr. Hinsdale gave very
interesting address on Garheld's careas,
in which, among other things, he said
that the popularly accepted account Of
the Senator's early history is largely
fabulous. His fathers circumstances
were those of his rieightors. Measured
by our standard" said Mr.. Hinsdale
"they were all poor; they lived on small
farms for which they had gone in debt
hoping to clear and pay for them by
their toll. Garfield dying, left his wife
and four young children in the condition

THE average number of live cattle
shipped from New York to Europe in
each week of 1879 was 6661 head,
against 5s43s head per week in 1878.
Last year also showed an average of
$50 sheep per week-a gain of 1s1 head
per week over 1879. The average gain
in carcasses of mutton in the same time
was 472 per week, and the fall-off in
quarters of dressed beef, 423 per week.

have dOne-poor. The family Life be-
fore had been close and hard enongh !;
now it became closer and harder. Grand
ma Garfield, as some of US famillariy
call her, was a woman of unusual ener-
gy, faith and courage. She said the
children should not be separated, but
kept together; and that the home should
be maintained, as when its head was
living. The battle was hard one, and
she won it."
