His Mothers Tombstone.

One of the most original and extreme
cases OF swindling ever recorded was
brought to light in a San Francisco
court the other day, where it was shown
that the plaintiff had had the date on
his mothers tombstone changed, IN Or

a year earlier than was the fact, as I'M

THE GOVERNORS BALL.

Prince Kamoutsine was one of the
most brilliant officers of the court at
st. Petersburg. He was seen at every
review, reception, and official bali.
Everywhere, in fact, where a young
officer of the guards could be seen with
advantage to himself, and yet, in eight
years, he had only a captains rank, ac-
companied with the unenviable reputa-
tion of being the most incorrigible fell
low in the way of practical jokes that
ever wore uniform. No one under
stood better than he the art of carry
ing out successfully the most astound-
ing, audacious joke. Already he had
been three times exiled from the CAPT.
tai for having gone trifle toe, far, and
had also received severe reproof
from highquarter, with the advice to
keep quiet and "efface himself" that
he might be forgotten. This to man
like Kamoutsine was simply impossible;
for even at the risk of losing rank, pro-
motion and fortune. his jest was a ne
cessity to him, and have it he must.
All foreigners, provincial officers, and
ignorant country people he scorned ut
terly, regarding them as quite unwor-
thy his attention. The young captain
flew at higher game, selecting his vic
Tins from the 'haute voice.
Our hero had 50 far profted by this
advice that the Emperor Nicholas, who

Corporations Have Souls.


A certain class Of journals are con-
tinually harping upon the "crushing
monopolies' which they assert are
grinding the poor" 1t seems to us
that these writers overlook much that
is of Importance in dealing with this
subject and studiOusly ignore the bene-
fits that are derived from the vast en-
terprises, that our leading a capital
lists project. 1t is patent to every OBJ
server that the so-called monopolies
are the means of opening up the vast
resources of our country to degree
that would be impossible without their
aid; thus making desirable homes for our
rapidly increasing population in local.
tiles that are not already overcrowded,
and where industry may thrive without
being hampered by the crystalization
that marks our older settlements. Our
grand railroad system furnishes the
means of a ready market for every
manner of productions. The farmer
upon his farm, and the artisan in his
shop-all located at points remote from
the market centres where living is ex-
pensive-may avail himself of the help,
of these '"nonopolies" to procure the
higher reward for his labor that he can
secure in our large cities, That our
capitalists receive an unequal compen-
sation for their outlay is mistaken
idea. Capital must be remunerative
as well as labor, and the men who in
vest their millions, in fact receive but
a small percentage in comparison with
the ample reward of the producer; and
to secure an eventual profit they must
invest largely in directions that are Oft
en- unremunerative for years. The
rivalry, among our great projectors Of
ten stimulates them to undertakings
that involve serious risks. One of the
greatest railroad projectors on the con-
tinent, Moses Taylor of New York,
never realized. even fair percentage
on his investments, and the same may
be said of many others. In forwarding
these schemes skilled labor finds its
largest reward and reaps the first and
often the only benefit, except that which
is derived by the country at large from
the permanency Of the plant. Thous-
ands upon thousands Of common labor
ers are employed, and houses are built
for the toiling masses from the fruits
of our great enterprises. The example
of many of the most wealthy citizens
Of our country, who have risen from
poverty to affluence, is stimulus to the
young men of our land, and serves as
beacon star to light the way and en-
courage them to greater endeavors.
Our corporations and our millionares
are most Of them generous in their
treatment of the poor. Not aday pass
es but they are called to relieve
the unfortunate, and worthy claims
upon their bounty are rarely treated
with reconsideration. We do not deny
that instances to the contrary can be
pointed out, but we confidently assert
that they are the exception rather than
the rule. Let this subject be treated
reasonably and ii abuses have crept in
let them be fairly presented, and they
will be cheerfully considered and speed
lily remedied by the corporations and
capitalists who command these
schemes. The interests of capital and
labor are mutual and can never be di-
vorced.-Marine Ne,os.
