A Fatal Change of Mind.

1t is reported from st. Petersburg
that, on the day previous to the late
Cars assassination, the Grand Duke
Constantine and his wife were dining
with his Majesty. In the course Of
conversation during dinner the En-
peror casually observed that, in all
probability, he should not, as had been
his wont, attened the Sunday morning
parade, as he was suffering from =
slight cold. Upon this the Grand
Duchess r-joined that his Majesty's
absence would prove serious disap-
pointment to her son Dimitri. who had
Just purchased handsome charger,
which he had proposed to himeslf to
show off to his uncle in the Riding
School after parade during the follow
ing forenoon. "That being the cass,"
said the Emperor, good naturedly, 81
dare say / shall manage to attend the
parade as usual," and he did so. The
Grand Duchess, when sppr;ssi of his
death, was for time completely over
whslmed by the conviction that, but
for persu asions, her brother-in-law
would not have left his place on that
fatal Sunday morning.

Choosing Your Associates.

One Of the most endearing connec-
tions with this life is to know that we
have friends whom we havi tried and
can trust. Such friends are very scarce
and, perhaps, rarer still are those
people who know or are capable Of
Judging when they have such friends.
Our characters are formed for good or
bad from the company We keep.
Confidence in our power to refrain
from the vices of others too often in
veigles us the risk Of mingling with
associates whom we know to be our
interiors both mentally and morally.
The daily influence of such company
will blind us to what we know to be
wrong, and we are unconscio usly led
into acting in such q manner as we
would have formerly condemned.
In forming friendships avoid these
lower types, and let your mode Of liv-.
ing be directed by comparing your
daily actions with the standard of
what you conscientiously consider
morally right. Beware of the two
faced man. A slur coming from one
that is supposed to be your friend
carries with 1t more destruction than
many things equally untruthful from
every known enemy you have. Yon
had better make such men your out
right enemies rather than have them
continue as your apparent friends.
Simply ignore then and waive all COM.
bativeness with them; that is, so far
us your intuitively revengeful nature
will allow.

Unrequited Love.

The following brief but thrilling
story will more than repay perusal:
Camille was a scrub girl in large
hotel in Paris. She loved Pierre, a
young Gascon who blacked the boots
of the guests. Pierre did not know
this. Often she stood at the head of
the back stairs and watched him scrap
ing the mud from the shoes and hum
ming softly to himself the song that
he had learned when boy. There
was no hydrant in the little hallway
where Pierre had his Office, and often,
when the rush oil travellers was great.
Pierre would have hard work to fur
nish enough saliva to properly moisten
the blacking. At these times, when
he had gone to borrow a chew to to-
hacco from Fauchery, the night clerk,
Camille would run quickly down
stairs and spit in-the blackiug- box.

say to herelf, "and perhaps some day

The Glens Falls Insurance Company.

Thi COMPANY, while it has a ma
tjonal reputation and is more widely
known than our village itself, is still
very emphatically a Glens Falls in
stitution. 1t was born here and has
grown np to It's present position here.
lis officers are our fellow citizens and
so are It's directors with..iew exceptions.
Its more than thirty years of solid and
honorable progress is familiar to our
old citizens, and yet so unpretentious
are its headquarters, its officers and
its management, that very few of our
people are aware of the extent Of its
business or the comparative position
among other similar institutions it
mas attained. While the company has
always been successful and popular,
its more marked "onwardness" and
"upwardncss" has been within the last
years, in which time its assets have
doub bled aud its surplus increased ten
fold. Its assets now exceed one mil
lion dollars, and its net surplus
exceeds half a million, while it has
paid over two and a haf millions of
dollars for fire losses! There are over
two hundred and fifty five insurance
companies in America, and of these
onl y e.ghteen others have assets and a
net surplus equal to the Glens Falls.
On the basis of percentage of net
surplus to capital, this company stands
at the head Of all the companies of
America and Great Britain! Besides
these solid comparisons its manage
ment is acknowledged to be as intelli-
gent and thought as the best-indeed
few companies are better known for
conservatism, prudence and fairness.
These qualities would be accorded the
company among those who personally
know its officers and board of direc-
tors, but the history of the company
as corporation has established this
character for our home company--for
corporations have reputations and
characters as well as Northumberland
any citizen of Glens Falls will be proud
to announce his citizenship wherever
the Glens Falls Insurance Company
does business. The prudence with
which the company is managed lie
found by the fact that its percentage
of expenses is largely below the
average of agency companies, while
the percentage of salaries paid its en-
ployees is still mere conspicuously
low. The company is conducted with
the single aim to provide the surest
possible indemnity to its policy hold

Thomas +. Bayard, United States
Senator from Delaware, was elected
President pro tempore of the Uni
ted States Senate, on last Monday,
at the extra session Of the Senate
called for the purpose Of electing a
president of that body, and is there
fore ex-ofieio Vice-president of the
United States. He is democrat,
and was elected by the democratic
majority Of that body, caused by
the resignation of Conkling and
Platt, and the death of Burnside.
The Democrats acted wisely and
clearly under their constitutional
right and duty in eleeting one of
their party 70 this responsible and
honorable position.
In electing Senator Bayard they
did themselves credit and fulfilled
the wish of their constituents
throughout the country. No man
in public service stands higher than
he, and no man in any party can
point to a more honorable or noble
record. In every sphere of life it
has been said of him, he is a man
"sGps pctir et sans TeprOche." BY rea-
son of his personal dignity and
bearing, a. well rs his learning and
long experience in the Senate, he is
eminently fitted to fill the position.
The Senate will find him impartial
and fair in his rulings, and he will
command the respect of all parties.
His election reflects honor upon the
country.

nr1NNEsOrA's DEMOCRACY.

The base and unfounded charge
of being a party of reputation
principles, which the Republican
party is so fond of charging against
the Democracy, has again been
shown to be unwarranted and utter
ly without basis, by the honorable
action of the Democratic State con-
vention, of Minnesota, which was
held at st. Paul last week. a re-
port of the convention states that
its main feature was the passage of
resolutions in favor of paying the
bonded Indebtedness of the State.
General II. IL. Sibley, the first Dem
ocratic Governor of the State, and
one of the earliest and most deter
mined opponents of reputation,
was made chairman of the conVen-
ton
A large portion of the platform
was devoted to the recital of the
facts that the Democratic platform
of 1859 (the year in which the ques-
ton first became agitated), con-
demned Republication, and that all
public utteranees of the party since
have been of the same tenor. They
declared strongly in favor of the
earliest possible settlement of the
debt.
General II. w. Johnson, retired
army officer of high personal char
acter and social standing, was NOM
mated for governor by reclamation.
This brave step of the Democracy
of Minnesota stands out in bold and
pleasing contrast with the recent
actions of the Republican conven-
ton of the same State, in which
not one single voice was raised for
the payment of the honest Obliga-
tions Of the State and the mainte-
nance of, her faith and credit.

LOOKS LIKE HARD TIMES.

1t will probably be remembered
that there was meeting of the cit
liens of Giles county, at Pulaski, a
few weeks ago, atwhich resolutions
were passed calling on the Cover
nor to assemble the Legislature and
recommend the postpOnement of
the collection of taxes for this year.
The American, commenting on a
statement of a correspondent that
FOrepaugh's circus carried off four
thousand dollars from the pockets
OF its tax-ridden % citizens, says:
ut is rather strange that a circus
could take four thousand dollars out
of Giles county if times are SO hard
that the people of that county
would rather have their taxes dou-
bled in another year by a short
sighted postponement this year than
10 meet them now. Four thousand
dollars would go long way toward
paying taxes. Far from a diminu-
ton Of circus receipts they have
been above the average this season
in all the counties. We believe We
ny str,ngly in the enjoyment of
by the people. The
is beneficial but the two
of growing about hard
times and taxes, and paying large
sums for circuses, do not go very
well together"
1t strikes us similarly likewise"

GUITRAU's CONFESSION AND
PLEA OF INSANITY.

Those who have read the horrible
cold-blooded recital of the assassin
Guiteau's crime, as told by himself
in detail, from its first conception to
its dastardly completion, to a New
York Herald reporter, cannot fail
to shudder at the very thought of
the cool, calm deliberation and min
ute detail with which the diabolical
scoundrel planned the act, and the
craft and intelligence with which
he mapped out beforehand his plea
uf insanity. The annals of crime
contain no more blOod-curdling mar
ration. To some minds it may be
an additional evidence of the insan-
ity of the william, but to our mind,
il docs not read like the desultory
efTusion of a lunatic. We are rath-
er inclined TO believe it is the story
of a feigned mailman who is cum
ming enough to know that by thus
going into the horrifying details Of
his Infamous crime, he will shock
the sensibilities of all good people,
and lead them to belive that such
heinous deed could only find con-
ception In the distorted reasoning of
mind diseased.

teau, who could work himself up TO
committing such crime would not

Conn1orreItors in Llmbo.

We learn that last Tuesday morn
ing, on the north bound train, be-
tween this city and Guthrie, three
counterfeiters, who boarded the
train at Danville, on the Ten
nessee river below here, were ar
rested by United States detectives.
When arrested one of the count
erfeiters had hat full of counter
felt silver dollars. They were well
armed and the officers met with
some resistance in making the ar
rests. They were carried on to
Louisville. We have not been able
to learn the full particulars, but
learn there are developments yet
to be unearthed.
