A PertinaciOuS General.

Gen. Scott was noted for the peril
naclty with which he chung to his opin-
ions. No matter what the topic, If the
General expressed an opinion about it,
that opinion became as the laws Of the
Modes and the Persians. A writer tells
IN the Philadelphia Times an anecdote
Of Gen. Scott during the Mexican war,
which illustrates this pertinacity ::
The General was very emphatic IN his
denunciation Of the practice of eating
warm bread. He commended (and no
doubt with much oorrectness) that bread
should be eaten stale and cold. The
army on the march had, Of course. to
eat hard bread or biscuit, there being
no portable ovens in those days.
"Weu, "said the Captain, who one day
visited Gen. Scott in. his tent, rubbing
his hands in anticipation, .sweu soon
be in Puebla, General, suppose 2"
Well, sir, and what then %
"Why, we'll get up the ovens and
have some hot bread,
Hot bread, sir ! hot bread = shout
ed the General, rising from his camp
stool and STRENGTHENING his towering
form, while he extended his arm with
majestic air. 6 No, sir !! Sooner than
permit you to commit such an mpru-
dent act, ] viii stand over the ovens
with my drawn sword | I"
The remark was so unexpected, and
the speech and attitude of the General
SO tragic, that the Captain, in relating
it, said that, for q moment, he thought
the General was rehearsing some lines
from theatrical act.

The Charity of Extravaganza.

Whenever the laboring men are ont
OF employment they begin to hate the
rich. They feel that the dwaalers in
palaces the riders in carriages. the
wearers of broadcloth, silk and velvet,
have IN some way been robbing them.
As q matter Of fact the palace-builderg
are the friends of labor. The best form
OF charity is extravaganza. When you
give man money, when you toss him q
coin, although you get nothing. the
man loses his manhood. To help others
to help themselves is the only real char
ity. Whenever I see a splendid home,
palace, q magnificent pile, think Of
the thousands who were fed. of the
women and children clothed, Of the fire
sides made happy: 49,
A rich man, living up to his privD-
eyes, having the best house, the best
furniture, the best horses, the finest
grounds, the most beautiful flowers, the
best clothes, the best food, the best
pictures, and all the books that he can
afford, is a perpetual blessing. The
prodlgallty OF the rich is the providence
of the poor. The extravaganza of wealth
makes it possible for the poor to save.
Tho rich man who lives according to
his means, who is extravaganza in the
best and highest sense, is not the enemy
of labor. The miser who lives in a
howell, wears rags and boards his gold,
Is perpetual curse. He is like one
who dams river at it's source.
The moment hard times come the crv
Of economy is raised. The press. the
platform and the pulpit unite in recon-
mending economy to the rich. In CON
sequence OF this cry, the nan Of wealth
discharges servants, sells his horses, al
lows his carriage to become a hen-roost.
and, after taking employment and food
from as many as he can, congratulates
himself that he has done his part toward
restoring prosperity to the country.

Too Much Civilized.

I'ecEs Sun says that the num-
ber OF persons that are BROUGHT
to Milwaukee from up about Sha-
wano, charged with selling glass of
benzine to Indians, to be tried before
United States officials, is so large that
there is suspicion that the fees OBJ
tanned by some one is the end sought in
stead of the protection of Indians, The
Sun scouts the idea, but if the arrests
become much more frequent it will pay
the Government to take the Indians to
Washington and board them at the ho-
tells, and furnish them with champagne
at every meal. If these Indians are
civilized, as is claimed by the Govern
ment, they cannot get along without
whisky any more than white men.
There is such thing as civilizing an
Indian too much.

Suicide Of Pascal Smith.

y 49,
Acable dispatch Of Nov. 24tlis from
Paris, France, reads as follows: The body Of
Pascal Smith, a millionaire merchant, of st.
Paul, Mimi, has been found of Marseilles'
coast. He arrived at Marseilles with his wife
and son, the 10th inst, and next evening he
was missed, and is supposed to have drowned
himself" The sad death of Mr.. Smith will not
greatly surprise those who were aware Of his
mental and physical condition. From having
been an active, self-reliant enterprising man Of
business, such az he was through most Of his
life, he had within few years become broken
IN both bodily and mental health, and was
when he left here, q few months apo. IN such
condition that his friends had little hope of
his rex oyery. Something over q year ago he
was induced to place his affairs in hape to
permit OF his wholly retiring from business
and, under care Of his wife, he was taken
away for rest, travel and medical treatment.
The symptoms OF mental weakness and. de.
preston shown in his case before he left home
rendered it probable that acute melancholy
was developed. leading to his suicide Mrs.
Smith and their married son arc the only sur
wing members Of the family. Two daugh.
tiers, grown to womanhood, have died since
the family removed to St Paul. Mr.. Smith
was probably not milhonaare,i in the currency
OF this country, put was wealthy enough to be
counted millionaire in France. During
their residence here Mr.. and Mrs. Smith were
among the foremost in support OF the First NJ.

Institutions. &s#

A session of the District Court com
n.enced at LIE Seuer, MINI, Nov. "a, and has
two trials for murder to conduct One is
that OF Mary G. Weisher charged with the
murder Of her husband, laet April. This will
be remembered by many Of your readers, a,
the case where the defendant. on the night Of
the murder, ran to neighbours house and told
them that two men were in the house. for the
purpose of robbery and she feared they would
murder her husband; and that upon the
neighbor going to the house with her, Weisher
was found dead with two bullet wounds upon
his body. Investigation led to the
arrest and indictment of the wife
and she is now on trial The case
promises to be quite an interesting one, as
all evidence is circumstantial. The other is
the case of Thomas 0'Connor, charged with
the murder Of Lawrence Vaughan at that
time, by stabbing him in the abdomen, in the
night, after calling him out Of his house, and
who after committing the deed, fed, and was
within day or two arrested near the village
Of Wateryille. The case of Mrs. Weisher is
now before the court. The regular panels o

eral sons and daughter. On the morning
Nov. 22nd, Mrs. Mccarthy observed that Fe
lix, the youngest son, aged 10 years, was cry
ing and acting differently from Usual. Not
much attention was paid to him, and after q
while he went ont OF the house and down the
road. He came hack after some little time
and entered the house, where a scene of the
widest description took place. Felix now
had revolver in his hand. and began serie
OF peculiar actions which eliminated in hi
aiming and firing shot at his older brother
John. Mrs. Mccarthy and her daughter
screamed and were filed with terror, while
John ran up stairs and jumped out Of the
window. The mother and daughter made
their escape from the house, and fed precip-
itately to the nearest neighbors, some forty
rods distant. Late in the afternoon Felix wa
found lying on the floor, shot by his own
hand through the right lung. He was insane,
though never before showing signs of insani-
ty. 1t is thought he will recover.
