theft was perpetrated in the interest
and by the connivance of Mr.. Garfield.
bradvs story is TO the effect that in
August. 1880, Hubbell applied to him
to raise 5000 from contractors in the
mail service for campaign expenses;
that he being then just out of an over
hauling by a Congressional Committee
on a charge of having been engaged in
doing that same thing. and not wishing
to put himself under fire again so soon,
fatty refused. but that HubDell persist
ing that something must be done or
else hope of Republican success must
be abandoned. he finally told Hubbell
that if he would get Hay es to make the
request for raising the money, he
(Bradv) would try to accommodate
him; that Hayes refused to have any
thing to do with it, that he BRADY
then told Hubbell that if the latter
would procure Gartield's request in
writ NC, he BRADY would act on that;
that Huhbell thereupon wrote to Gar
field on the subject, and by the return
mail received the following letter from
Garfield:
IPriyatel
MExroR, o., August %, 1880.
MY DEAR HUBBELL: Yours of the 18th inst.
received and contents noted. Please say to
brady that hope he will give us all the as
sistance possible. think he can help efec-
lively. Please tell me how the Departments
generally are doing ever yours,
Hon. J. A. Hubben Washington. D. c.
Garfield admits having written the
letter, but denies he knew anything of
the way the money was to be raised,
except that he supposed Brady was to
pay it himself out of his then recent
large profits in telephone stock opera
tions.
Such are the leading facts, though
there is large surround ng of circum-
stances that makes very interesting
reading matter for the Republican fam
ilv fireside that will have to be under
stood in order to clear sight of all its
lights and shades. At present we con-
tent ourselves with the single remark
that as Garlield's simple denial in the
"323'' escapade was deemed to out
weigh the sworn testimony of "a cloud
of witnesses" together with the official
oaths of Republican Congressional Com
mitteemen, it is not to be supposed that
B.ady's statement. fortified by Gar
field own sign manual and corrobor-
ated by circumstances that have never
before been known to lie, will be
deemed to outweigh it in the Republi-
can mind. Though the Garfield of
1880 had sworn to the facts stated by
Brady, and should now deny them, we
feel warranted in saying that the great
mass of Republicans would hug him all
the more closely for the denial. 1t
would be inst so much the worse for
Brady.-Fort Hayne Sentinel.

A Fable.

Once upon time terrible Wild
Beast took possession of a certain neigh
borhoOd known as the District of Co
lumbia, SO called because of the great
mum Der of CLAIMS found ON its borders.
No two peasants described 1t alike.
One said 1t had silken curl hanging
down over Its forehead, and Its voice
was low and sweet. while another con-
tended that 1t had fierce visage and
claws so sharp that Collector for the
Port OF New York or a foreign minister
was torn to flutters in about six ticks of
a bull eye watch. The What-is-lt at
first contented himself with devouring
small game. such as country postmas-
tiers, custom-house clerks. and door
keepers at the Capitol Building. but as
the peasantry grew more afraid of him
he grew holder and got up bigger
appetite. To protect themselves from
his wrath the people were finally COM
PEELED to let him roam as he pleased
and to furnish him game for his meals
Consuls, Minister'S, Judges, Collectors,
and other fat game were daily thrown
to him to devour. and he cleaned their
bones in way to astonish all the medi-
cal colleges The influence of the
Dread Animal was finally felt in many
other neighborhoods. and in time he
became big lnjun up tree. Those
who went out and flattered him and
patted his curly head returned with
commissions in their pockets, but those
whose refused to bow down were soon
er or later made into hash.
For IOnp term of wears this Beast
kept the country in state of fear and
terror. and he grew SO bad that one
day he turned up his nose at the corpse
of a Judge of the Supreme Bench and
demanded live President for dinner.
This was too much. The people who
had suffered so long and sacrificed so
much were rendered desperate at the
outlook. and they rallied together to
make war on the Bloodthirsty Enemy.
Their preparations were hardly COM
plete when news came that the Mon
ster, chagrined at Its defeat and mad
dened by the opposition. had commit
ted suicide. The forest was at once
invaded and the news confirmed.
Thousands gathered around the Corpse
to survey it; and when one, holder than
the rest, finally drew 1t from the dense
shade of trees to the open sunlight,
million men poked each other in the
ribs and whispered:
Hanged if we haven't been making
all this fuss over an Asp

An Indisputable Right.

The right of a United States Senator
to resign is indisputable. The right of
two United States Senators to resign
the same hour is equally clear. Even
if the two Senator'S belong to the same
State, and their resignation is a con-
certed act, prompted by a common
cause and embodied in joint letter,
their right cannot be questioned.
United States Senators have resigned
before this, and United States Senators
will resign after this.
We do not think there is reputable
Constitutional lawyer in the land who
will attempt to deny that the two New
York Senators, Conkling and Platt, had
personal right to vacate the seats in
the Senate they have heretofore occu-
pied. But in the name of common
sense why do they attempt to invest
their resignation with such dramatic
accessories. and to shock the universe
with their departurep Why bring the
whole weight of all their ply steal,
mental and moral faculties to the exer-
ton of a task which might have been
performed in note of three lines and
which no one opposed their doingP No
human being wanted to make them
stay in the Senate chamber. There
were NO bolts and bars, no batteries and
hidden mines to keep them in when they
desired to go out The doors were
open and the way was plain; and, more
than this, there are fifty thousand citi-
zens of New York who are ready and
willing to take the seats they have sur
rendered. What, then. is the occasion
for ali these tragic accomplishments?
Why did they not resign quietly and go
about their businessp
There are but two explanations of
their solemn and imposing departure
They want to be brought back-brought
back with still more imposing popu-
lar ceremonial. Either this. or Mr..
Conkling had so wound himself up in
his absurd fight against the President
and the Custom-house nomination that
he did not know what else to do but
resign. The resignation is an auda-
cious trick or an act of despair, and in
either case. UNNECESSARILY preposterous.
Senator C0nkling is man of admitted
ability. He has no superior in the
handling of important and difficult
public question, or in adroit manipu-
lation of the game of politics. But hui
man experience warns US that great
men sometimes fail in the very things
in which they are greatest-and the
Conkling resignation is an example in
point. As political maneuver this
resignation is a prodigious folly. st.

The following description of the room
in which our greatrgrandfathers lived
may recall to some old man the scenes
of his boyhood:
Grandfather kitchen was sofabre
room. ceiled and painted brown, with
huge beams, high dressers and yawning
fireplace. 1t had only two small win
dows and was entered by nine doors.
1t was. in reality, the great hall of the
house. What it lacked by day was light
and sunshine. At night, frightened by
a roaring back log, it was fun of cheer.
Then its beams and ceilings and simple
furnishings were enriched by shadows,
and the pewter dishes upon its brown
dressers shonc in the dancing freight
like silver.
The two shelves full Of leather COW
cred books; the weather-wise almanac
hanging from peg; the cross-legged
crane with its Kissing teakettle; the
brush; the bellows; the settle in the cor
ner and whatever else was there, all
became fire-changed, and were mel
lowed into the bright scene.
This room was BY night the best part
of the house. 1t was always the true
heart of it; the vital centre from which
diverged its in-dwelling life. 1t was
the place where people lounged and
fingered.
Because its small windows let in q
few sunbeams, those which did come in
were all the more precious. Because 1t
was full OF homely things. and was, as
the women said, : most convenient y
it had inwrought into it, as a picture, q
quaint beauty of adaptation. Mellow,
brown old kitchen-how many costly
rooms simulate, in their furnishing. your
inexpensive colors. --NesO England By-

A Cannon to Shoot Ten Miles.

The making of the patterns for the
Lyman Haskell accelerating or multi.
charge gun. atthe Scott Foundry of the
Reading Iron Works. was begun this
morning. The gun will be twenty-five
feet long and have bore six inches in
diameter. Along the bore four pockets
will be located, in each of which a
charge of powder will be placed. with
the view Of accelerating the speed of
the ball after it leaves the chamber of
the gun and during its progress through
the-b bore. Experts who have seen the
drawings and have given the subject
of the manufacture Of heavy ordnance
study have expressed the opinion
that the gun will throw ball distance
OF ten to twelve miles. whereas five miles
is good range for the best cannon.
The charge of powder will be 100 pounds
and the weight of shot $50 pounds. 1t
is calculated that a shot from the gun
will penetrate through two feet of solid
wrought iron. Reading PA Eagle,

An Old Norwegian Town.

Stavanger is one of the most ancient
towns in Norway. 1t looks as if it were
one of the most ancient in the world;
its very brightness, with its faded red
houses. open windows and rugged pave
ments, being like the color and smile
one sees sometimes on a cheerful,
wrinkled old face. The houses are
packed close together. going uphill as
hard as they can; roofs red tiled; gable
ends red tiled, also, which gives droll
eyebrow effect to the ends of the houses,
and helps wonderfully to show off pref
ty faces beneath them, looking out of
windows. All the windows open in the
middle, outwards, like shutters; and it
would not be much risk to say that
there is not q window-sill in all Stavan-
ger without flowers. Certainly, we did
not see one in three hours ramble.
From an old watch-tower, which stands
on the top of the first sharp hill above
the harbor, is sweeping 0ffiook, sea-
ward and eastward, to north and
south; long promontories, green and
curving, with low red roofs here and
there, shot up into relief by the sharp
contrast of color; bays of blue water
breaking in between; distant ranges of
mountains glittering white; thousands
of islands in sight at once. Stavanger's
approach strikes NorwaY's keynote
with bold hand. and old Norway and
new Norway meet in Stavanger's mar
ket-place. An old cathedral. the oldest
but one in the country, looks down q
little inner harbor. where lie sloops
loaded with gay pottery of shapes and
colors copied from the latest patterns
out in Stafordshire. These are made
by peasants many miles away, on the
shores of the fjords; bowls, jars, flower
pots, jugs and plates, brown. cream
colored, red and white; painted with
flowers and decorated with Grecian and
Etruscan patterns in simple lines. The
sloop decks are piled high with them
a gay show and an odd enough freight
to be at sea in storm. The sailors
heads bob up and down among the pots
and pans, and the salesman sits fat on
the deck, lost from view, until a pur-
chaser appears. Miraculously cheap
this pottery is, as well as fantastic of
shape and color; one could tit out his
table, of one of these crockery sloops,
for next to nothing. Along the wharves
were market-stands of all sorts; old
woman selling fuchsias, myrtles, carrots
and cabbages sand blueberries, all to-
gether; piles of wooden shoes, too
clumsy things, hellowed out OF single
chunk of wood, shaped like Chinese
junk keel, and coarsely daubed with
black paint on the outside; no heel to
hold them on, and but little toe The
racket made by shutting along on pave
ments in them is amazing, and "down
at the heel" becomes q phase of new
significance. after one has heard the
thing done in Norway. H., in the

SCHOOL AND CHURCH.

There are 900 Methodist churches
in the Fiji Islands.
Rev. Joseph Cook is now engaged
in delivering q series of lectures in
Spurgeon's Tabernacle, London.
Mrs. Yoong Sam Yoy, said to be the
first Chinese woman in California to
embrace the Baptist faith, has been
admitted to baptism
There are 124 theological semina-
ries in the United States, with grounds
and buildings valued at $500, 900:
The annual income of the endowed
funds is 1858, 900.
The Quakers in England. it is said,
are adopting new ideas and dropping
old peculiarities and customs, and
more directly tending toward associa-
ton with the Methodists to some ex-
tent.
OF ecclesiastical dignitaries in the
Church of England, there are two Arch
bishops, twenty-nine Bishops, thirty
Deans, eighty-one Archdeacons, 80
rural Deacons. There are $4,000
stipendary clergymen.
The shabbiest church extant has
just been heard of. 1t was discovered
by the Adrance in the State of Vermont.
1t was composed of well-to-do farmers,
who, seeing that their pastor gave an
unusually large contribution to foreign
missions that year. instead of taking
the generous hint and doubling their
own, jumped backward to the conclu-
sion that they were paying him too
much salary and made haste to cut it
down.
"A Philadelphia church had bare
looking patch Of ground in front of its
building, which gave the premises a
dreary and forbidding appearance. As
an expedient for giving this the ap-
pearance of garden, musical enter
tainment was given, the price of admis-
sion to which was one pot plant for
each person entering. The success was
immense. All the neighbors and their
children crowded into the church on
the evening of the entertainment, each
bringing plant in flower. The next
morning the sexton and working COM
mittee of the church people set to work
to place the plants in position. In a
few hours the former wilderness bios
somed as the rose. The good work was
accomplished without pecuniary incon-
venience to anybody.
