London Truth: mo man attacks the
reputation of youth as women attack that
of girl. The man who should come into
his club and whisper about damning stories
of his friends young son. who should ac-
cuse him of dishonorable doings, such as
would ruin the young lads character as,
thoroughly as the charges of immodesty,
flirting with married men and the like, ruin
that of girl, would soon have the room to
himself But women over the tea-table
gather up the crumbs Of scandal with relish
and appreciation, and even the mothers OF
girls are not ashamed to believe and repeat
stories against their dear friends daughters
which may have no foundation in fact, and
which, even if true, they have no means of
proving and testing"

When the news came over the wires
that the President was shot, lawyer, living
in the town of W, Vermont, said 'he
was glad Of it, and wished they had killed
him." An old farmer, standing near by,

lay trembling few minutes, and then came

Complicated Diseases.

A prominent gentleman in Cerro Gordo

ney-Wort to be the best remedy he ever
knew for complication of diseases 1t is
the specific action which it has on the liver,

great celebrity. Liquid, (very concentrated)

The Mexican Small Boy.

In many ways the Mexican boy sets
an excellent example to his young
cousins across the Rio Grande. Grow
ing up in this placid social organization,
his disposition naturally is mild, and he
has as his birthrieht an allowance of
good manners SO liberal that it might
be divided among a whole boarding
school of United States little boys and
make q good showing in each. The
other day at San Pedro-it was the
saints day of the little town and the
place was in a ferment of pleasureabls
excitement Il hailed small chap. who
was darting across the small plaza and
asked him to get me drink of water.
Now the average United States small
boy of like humble station, if similarly
addressed under similar conditions
say by a Frenchman on the Fourth of
July-pretty certainly would refuse to
comply with the request, and very.
probably would couch his refusal in some
such enigmatical phrase as: just you
hold your left esf while get it!n or,
more curtly,: you go boil the back of
your headr' But this little Mexican,
not having enjoyed the advantages of
higher civilization, pulled up short
when / hailed him and promptly went
into the house and brought me the water
that asked for. As he handed me the
mug he took off his ragged little hat
and held it in his hand while drank;
and he bowed very prettily. this gentle
lad, as handed back to him the empty
mug with ..gracias' that came from
my heart. Water fresh and cool from
tenaja is pleasant drinking in this
thirsty land; but it is all the sweeter and
more refreshing for being so charming
ly served. And these children are
courteous to each other as well as to
grown-up people. Out in the suburbs
Of the town last evening saw two lit
tie chaps sitting beside an acequia-
dabbling their little bare feet in the
running water--while they played very
contcntedly together with dead bird
they had picked up somewhere. There
was no quarreling as to which should
have the bird. One of them had it in
his hands and was plucking out the
feathers, while the other, very much
interested, was looking on. They were
talking away earnestly, and seemed to
be full Of the quiet happiness that, with
their gentle natures, is born in them

The untamed cowboy generally sports
large six-shooter, belt, knife, re-
peatlng rifle and huge pair of spurs;
while the mustang which he rides is
supplied with Spanish saddle and
held in check and guided by huge
Spanish bit. Herding cattle being his
vocation, nothing delights him more
than wild chase after an untamed
steer; and, being a splendid rider,
neither an Apache nor a soldier can get
the best of him on the plains. Some
times he is an American, sometimes q
Mexican, q haH-breed, or Indian; but
no matter what his nationality may be,
he is as uncivilized as a grizzly bear
and reckless as a savage.
He would be as much out of place in
a parlor as wolf in a sheep-fold or an
alligator in a bird-cage; but, properly
mounted, his saddle ornamented and
his animal trained to carry out his
slightest wish, he does not serve as bad
subject for an artist, and his physique
and horsemanship are universally
praised. Quick. wiry and Intrepid,
often generous and humane, his ever
sal generis, and many are the stories
told of his bloodthirsty career. Orig
inally he belonged to- Texas, and was
generally known as the Texas ranger;
but, with the increase in stock-raising
farther west, he has finallv came upon
the railroad, and is now found on every
range from Tucson to Santa Fe. He it
is who has made life on the border un-
safe for immigrants, who does the

and who is fast becoming terror to
the citizens of the section which he
chooses to visit. Like .sthe bad man
from Bodie," fear to him is an unknown
quality. and the greater the danger the
more desperate he seems to become.

SCHOOL AND CHURCH.

The deanery OF Westminster has
been rendered to Rev. Henry Montague
Butler, head master of Harrow School,
who will doubtless accept.
The fund left by the late Mrs. Will
Jams, Of Norwich, Conn, for the build
ing and endowing ola school for young
ladies in New London, is now valued at
800, 600 in personal property, and $685.
600 in real estate, besides the site, which
is worth $4,000.
--.s' Antioch Circuit in Middle Ten
nessee is SO exclusively Methodist ter
ritory that, although it is fifteen miles
square, there are no other religious or
CARNATIONS within its bounds. There
are about seven hundred Methodist
church members there.
Last year there were in the Phila-
delphia public school 1.988 women
teachers and only seventy-seven men.
The ayerags annual salary paid in that
city is 1886. IA. 1t is reported that the
most competent teachers are leaving
the schools, as salaries are constantly
growing smaller.
The Hebrew Synagogue at New
port, which was built several years ago
by j ldah TOuro, who also gave $40, 900
to support a rabbi, is TO be reopened
soon with imposing ceremonies. Jews
were so scarce that the synagogue was
closed soon after its opening, but there
are now enough to form a congrega-
ton, and the $4,000, which has been
managed by the city, has been swelled
to $4,000. 4ss
The g Church Of Jesus" in Mexico
receives about $4,000 year for its
evangelical and missionary work. It
needs about 100000, for which it
makes earnest request. This Church
aims to enlist all the Protestant denom-
nations in the work Of .evangelizing
Mexico. Thus far it has not been very
successful in this respect, as several Of
the denominations have missions Of
their own, which they prefer. to keep
up. The missionaries now begin to find
that the MorInons are bound to give
them trouble. Many Mormon mission
aries are in the northern part Of Mexico.
where they find plenty of proselytes
among the ignorant Mexicans. Very
many Mormon tracts are scattered
among the Mexican people. q

Methodist Episcopal Conference is
voluntary society called Daughters of

ton of the sisters whose object is to
help along the superannuated preach
ers and the widows and orphans of de-
ceased members. One of the sisters
made a speech before the Conference
which is described as 6 well expressed,
thoughtful and eloquent No higher
compliment than this could have been
paid on the speech had it been delivered
by one of the brethren.a The sisters
who compose this organization are de-
ing very useful and commendable
work, and setting an example whose
imitation in other Conferences will do
much to relieve the .distresses of some
who are left in an extremely needy con-
dition. e. sA

Mr.. Riddleberger. of recent celebrity
as Bantam Mahone's Man Friday, has
been nominated by the Virginia Legisla-
ture for the United States Senatorship.
This is another definite step towards the
coalition of Republicans and non-debt-
payers. And this is the way that the
political strategists are to break down
the "solidityp ofthe South. That the
Administration is in sympathy with the
move nobody who is not willingly blind
can fail to see. There will be opportu-
nifty abundant beforeth campaign of 1888
for the great masses of the North to dis
Germ that the Republican party NO longer
depends upon its original sources of
power, but in prospect Of their evident
decay north Of Mason and Dixon's line
they are entrenching themselves for the
future by means Of alliances that they
would have rejected when they enjoyed
the confidence Of the nation. They drop
the bloody shirt now and hug with
maudlin affection rebel brigadiers who
preach reputation. Tears Of glorious
reconciliation have filled the bloody
chasln.

Bosrox, Dec. 14.-The official count up to

the aid Of the Citizens movement elected
their Mayor by nearly GOO majority. They
have secured q larger representation in the
Board of Aldermen than they have had for

tives with the Democrats in the Soho ! Com
mittee. They have also reduced the majority
In the Common Council. The vote on the IL
cense question is nearly two to one In favor OF

LATER-The official returns materially re-
duce the previously stated majority of Green,

pleted. So far six Republicans and four Demo-
cratic Aldermen are probably elected, with
the chances in favor Of two more Democrats.
