A Weak Vessel.

The impression is gathering daily
strength that Arthur leans strongly on
Grant and COnkling. His reticence has
gone a good way to sustain 4 suspicion
that lie is sele-reliant and independent !;
but it seems more likely that this man.
ner is only a cloak to real weakness.
Arthur's whole title to public distinc.
ton rests upon his success rs 4 politician
when acting under superior direction.
Ifhn has any tile to the character of a
statesman OF leader of the first class,
it has yet to be demonstrated. 1t
is not so likely that there is
real god in his composition as
il is that lie is OF base metal for it is
not metal of the latter kind that could
have been put 10 the subservient uses
that have ieen matlepf him. 1t is hard
for a man who las lived under the belief
of his inferiority to ether men, whose
slave he has been, to lift himself all at
once up to their level in his own estima-
tion and it is evident enough that
Arthur has not persuaded himself yet
that he is 4 "biger man than old
Grant - a significant illustration Of
which is found i'm the fact that he the
other day escorted Grant to the Wash
ington railroad depot, an honor which
president never did before to another.

THURSDAY EVENING, NOV. 3. 1881
Safl.TrimmfnS.

II is mighty unsafe to make a public
appearance as an apostle without having
a strong anchorage of faith otherwise
the wind, blowing where it listeth, will
drive the unmOored teacher into strange
places and bring him up all standing
where he will find it difficult to explain
his presence which has been suggested
to us afresh by the painful experience Of
Mr.. Smith, the editor of the Philadel-
phia Press, who also essays the illumi-
nation of the people as Republican
orator. The ambition of Mr.. Smith is
to conduct an independent journal and
SO the Press is sometimes independent.
But Mr.. Smiths ambition also is to
stand as Il representative Republi-
can statesman, in the pursuit
of some delusive phantom of hope and
SO the Press is sometimes Republican.
And, as it is MIR. Smiths ambition to
he strong with the people and the Re
publicans of all shades, it is manifest
that he has essayed difficult task, and
has exposed himself to winds which ma
turally drive him hither and thither
over the ocean Of politics, and leave him
great temptation to slip his safe moor
ings. A man who can slip away from
his anchorage in a storm, and get safely
into his new port, is a skillfull naviga-
tor. Mr.. Smith is encOuntering ugly
weather in his present expedition. The
sky looked peaceful enough though when
he started out, and the Republican wind
had such Il strong set in one direction
that the little black cloud, no bigger
than your han,l-a WOlfe-that appear.
ed on the horizon, did not seem Of enough
account to disturb the new set of the
Ii,css sails. The cloud is bigger now
The active Wolfe is going through the
state like Il dose of castor Oil, and
through editor and orator Smith with
like smoothness and effect. Quoting the
Press against the P,rss is very effective
oratory. Topresent its opinion Of Baily
against its opinion of Bailv, when they
are diverse, is effectually to clip its
claws. The only fact that interferd
between the two opinions being the fact
that Baily was nominated as the Repub
lican candidate, the Press is ut once con
verted into machine organ, that see:
things differently rs it is ordered to SCI
them.
1t is an old experience that Mr.. Smitl
is enjoying. Sail-trimming is a high
art. Mr.. Buchanan used to say thai
every good navigator was 4 good sail.
trimmer; and SO he is no doubt. But
political sai.-trimming cannot be in
dulsrl in too obviously. 1t is danger
Gus work. If it is bunglingly done
people laugh ut it: and even when
the work is skilifu!, the artist get:
credit for it ut the cost of 4 Tepute fol

Virtue I'm a Lem on.

The Philadelphia R,r"rd, speaking &C.
riOusly and sadly, as though it knows,
recommends fellows who get drunk
when they don't want, just because
they have an impulse to get drunk
which they can't resist, to conclude that
their liver is out of order and to try the
Juice of half Il lemon before going to bed
and of the other half when they get up :;
giving them hope that thus they will
ward off the man!acal alliver-inspired in
pulse to drink themselves drunk. 1t
is only 10 that peculiar kind of drunk
ard who takes his sprees ut intervals
of months that this suggestion is
made. There is, as we all know,
L funmy creature of this kind,
who is us sober rs any judge
ought to be. for u long while,
but who then suddenly goes cner-
getica!Iy to work to get rs iull as a tick
and rs drunk as :. lord. lie enjoys it
generally all by himself and starts into
it all of his own motion. 1t is IN indi-
vidul! cn:er;,ris, entirely and u solitary
performance I'LL through. He seems to
be working out some law of his being
without exercising amy volition of his
own. The Rerprd says that the attack
is preceded by Il "dulI, inert condition =
of the mind and body, which physicians
say is due to Il torpid liver. Ii that be
so and a lemon will change the condition,
all wives of such periodical maniacs will
rejoice to know it and will ut once TN:
dertake to keep i lemon ready for their
lords use against the time of his inert
ness. Seriously the Rcrorl's suggestion
is worth noting, and if the lemon won't
work, maybe ali electric battery would
bring the answer. We don't know any
thing about it, but on general principles
it ought to be Il good corrective of inert
ness and So ought good cOwhide to
be; but neither is as easily admins
tered or as pleasant to take rs lemon.
Try the lemon firSt-without \ stick
