over thousand years no one knew

Then everything was revealed with the

A Boy-Merchant.

Boy-musicians, composers, boy
poets, boy artists. have been commem-
Grated. But in all the chronicles of
youthful prodigies, there is scarcely to
be found notice Of boy.merchant.
We can, However, recall one such, and
he made himself name when he WA
not out of a jacket.
In 1903, the eminent Boston firm of
J. & IT, H. Perkins established house
in China. They sent out Mr.. Bum
stead to manage it, and with him. as
clerk, boy of sixteen years, J. P.
Cushing, by name. He was a steady
lad, and wrote fine hand. Soon after
their arrival in China. Mr.. Bumstead
died, and the boy was left to manage
the affairs of the house.
When the news of the death reached
Boston, there seemed but one thing to
do, and the junior partner, Col. T. H.
Perkins, accordingly made preparations
to 20 to China. just before he was
ready to sail, letters came from young
Gushing. They gave clear report vf
the business of the house, and showed
that young as he was, his head was old
enough to manage it.
Col. Perkins. therefore postponed his
departure until the arrival Of other let
tiers from the youthful manager. They
were so satisfactory that the firm de-
cided that Col. Perkins should remain
at home, aud the boy be entrusted with
the management OF affairs in China.
So we'll did he manage them that he
was taken into partnership. And in
1877. twenty four years after his de-
parture from Boston, he returned to
his native city with large fortune. II
was all made before he was forty years
of age.

An interesting letter was published
in the Denver Tribune last week,
dated April Srd, addressed to the
Secretary Of War and signed by Gen.
Sherman. 1t relates to the Ute qnes-
ton and the establishment of posts in
the Gunnison country. Gen. Sher-
man says: first, Col. Mckenzie is in
command of 650 troops at Garland,
completely equipped anG ready to
march as soon as the snow disappears
from the mountain passes. Second,
the force at the old White river agen-
cy, under Lieut.. Col Gilbert, consists
of about the same number of men.
He thinks this command will be able
to prevent the White River Utcs from
returning II their old haunts. Third
force of 800 men at Pagosa Springs
under Col. Buell.. 1t is proposed 10
give up Pagosa Springs and move
the troops on the Animas or San Juan
river. Mckenzie is to be ordered
forward soon to select site for II
post at the junction of the Gunnison
and Grand rivers. Gen. Sherman be-
licves this force will be sufficient to
assure peace to all that region for ali
time to come.

Tho charges against Hancock are hardly
on their legs before they are knocked over.
The New England Republican organs have
been taking him to task for writing to Gen.
Sherman in the winter of 1S76-'77 that, be-
lieving Mr.. Tilden had been elected President
of the United States, he should, as an Army
oiilcer, hold himsclf subject to his orders II
he should under any circumstances take the
oath of office on the 4th of March, 1877. If
this were true 1t was argued that Gen. Ham
cock had given evidence Of disloyalty, and
the New York Tribune and the New York
Times have, with great flourish of trumpets,
demanded that he shall explain. An expla-
nation does not seem necessary, however, for
Gen. Hancock can well afford to stand upon
his record in this as in other matters. The
fact seems to be that he did believe Mr.. Til
den was elected, Ca fact which is scarcely
disputed nowadays,) and that in response
to interrogation by Gen. Sherman he let the
General of the Army know that believing
thus he should feel it his duty to recognize
Mr.. Tilden as President of the United States
# he were so declared by Congress, anything
that Vice President Ferry might declare to
the contrary Notwithstanding. But when
Congress, through the Electoral Commission,
gave Mr.. Hayes the Presidency to which Mr..
Tilden had been elected, Gen. Hancock, in
common with all good citizens, acquiesced in
the decision, and not only recognized Mr..
Hayes as President, but, as we learn from
the Republican correspondent of the New
York Ecening Post, went on to Washington to
take part in the Inauguration ceremonies and
was the first officer of the Army to call upon
the President after he was inaugurated. In
this whole business Gen. Hancock showed
the strength of personal conviction tempered
by profound respect to the Constitution and
the laws of his country which have been IL
| lustrated in almost every incident of his
| career.-fhia. Times.

Gen. Hancock was the subject of kindly
words in the Republican organs for a few
days, simply because the nomination of so
good and so strong man by the blundering
Democracy found them unprepared and took
their breath away. Moreover, they We're as
founded by the enthusiasm that his name
aroused even in their own ranks. But the
boldest soon 0llied and began the assault
and now there is scarcely one OF them that
has not its handful of mud to throw upon
the uniform that in long years of patriotic
service has never known stain. II is his
good fortune that none Of the mud has stuck,
but no thanks are due 10 the throwers, for
they have thrown the dirtisst within reach
and their aim has been Enthusiastically accu-
rate. II Garfield has not been SO fortunate
il is because his own mouth has condemned
him in other days and has not been opened
to explain away his own explanations of the
questionable things that he did when he was
not candidate for the Presidency. Every
body who is not hide-bopnd partisan will
hope that he may yet yindipate his veracity
as well as his integrity, for no good citizen
can tolerate for moment the thought of the
Presidency being within reach of one against
whom such charges lie unexplained.-Pzila.
