knife, the shrinking childhood of the
boy received his hard chastisement.
Carried back, all trembling as with a
chill of death, to the house Of mourning.
the little boy was laid on his bed, still
frozen tight of speech, and only the
ointment of mothers tears fell on his
shoulders, but his large eyes turned to a
small box that he kept his treasures in,
and they placed it in his bed where he
lay all day signing from his inarticulate
soul.
The fathers heart was wrehched to
think of such frail, dear son persisting
in his wickedness, and turning from re-
pentence. He sat by his side all that
afternoon, commanding his boy to con-
fess and save them both the pain of
another chastisement, which he would
eel required to enforce next day. The
boy trembled but did not speak, and put
his arms around his little box as If it
was his brother.
The long night through, sigh went
through the chamber ever and anon from
those suffering lips. Neither man nor
woman slept. At early day the anguish
stricken father felt that the stern punish
ment must he melted out again unless
his boy spoke and repented. He rose
and passed into the chamber where the
son lay. He sighed no more but seemed
asleep. Upon his face color paler than
the snowy sheets extended. Another
guest was in the bed, the guest that
oometh like real thief in the night.

wife, come here, Robert is dying"
The mother came. She raised her son
upon her breast. The little lips un-
closed and spoke the last forever in this
world:
81 love my papa. Mamma. 1 only
wanted his pencil, not his money. Dear
God, let papa love me!'
And so among the little drawings he
had been working at every dawn, till his
pencils were worn to the wood and he
would have borrowed his papa's noise
lessly, whose sharpened pencil was in
his waistcoat pocket, the little artist
yielded up his broken heart. Only the
room resounded with q childless fathers
cry.

Wrigglcs had some teeth puled late
ly, and took cold in his jaw, which
swelied up until it looked like a prize
waterme on. He poulticed it and ban
daged it, all to no purpose, and walked
choice extracts trou Bob Ingersoll's
lectures, but all to no purpose it kept
on swelling. The other morning he re-
marked to his wife that he would give
$50 to any one that would give him a
Tremendous thump on it suddenly
without expecting it, to see if it would
not burst the swelling. The dear wom-
an smiling to herself, went and gather
ed a boot-jack, and stepping mp quietly
behind the old man as he was trying to
strain some coffee through his teeth,
lovingly inquired "Where does it pain
you most, Wrig?" ooh Lord, right
here, right here" replied he, as he
turned his jaw up, and pointed to the
apex OF the protuberanCe. Taking a
step back the dear woman raised the
boot jack on high and hit him a regu-
lar bung starter in the center of the
calamity, and stepped back to await re.
suits. The old mans knees flew up to
his chin as he shutup like patent rat

off the chair on the floor. But he was

Mr., Wiutom,s Personal Plans.

WASHINGTON Oct. 10. - Secretary
Window has decided to be candidate
for the United States Senate. Mr.. Ed
gerton, who was appointed by the Gov
ernor of Minnesota to succeed Mr. " in
dom, does not desire to press his claim
on the Legislature in view Of tho mel
alcholy circumstances that make neces-
sary the retirement Of Mr.. Window from
the Cabinet and therefore retires from
the canvass in favor of the Secretary.
The Legislature of Minnesota was call
ed to meet in extra session to day, and
will begin to ballot for Senator On the
18th inst. The election Of Mr.. Window
is regarded as certain. While the Sec
retary il anxious to retire from the
management of the Treasury Depart
ment at an early day. his resignation
having been accepted by the President
to take effect when the successor is quail
fled, it is not Improbable that he will
remain until about Dec l, unless tho
present session of the Senate should
continue beyond the lime when he ex-
poets to be returned. The general be-
lief among Senators is that the present
session will not continue beyond Oct.
20. Judge Folger, of New York, is the
man most frequently named to succeed
Secretary Windom in the Treasury De-
partment.

Cabinet GORBlp.

WASHINGTON, Oct. l,.-There is a
very decided impression among tEt
leading Republican Senators shat ex
Governor Morgan will succeed Secre.
tary Window in the Treasury. Mr.
Window himself is said to believe this.
The talk yesterday among outside
parties was that Judge Folger would be
chosen, but these who are in position o
get adv ance information, are quite con-
tident to-day that Governor Morgan is
the coming man.
1t is generally believed that Governor
Boutwell, could have the place if be
would take it, but it is known tnat he
wants to confine himself to his prOfes
sion.
1t is current talk that he is TO be Of.
fered the Attorney-Generalshlp, and
that Pennsylvania is to be given the
Postmaster-Gtneralship.
Secretary Hunt is not confident Of
being retained, but he is assured by
Senatorial friends that some other good
place will be provided for him.
Secretary Window cannot be elected
to the Senate before next Tuesday by
the Minnesota Legislature, and it is
not improbable that he may remain in
the Treasury until that time, although
he is quite ready to retire sooner.
1t is understood that Mark 5. Dun
nell will contest the Senatorship with
Mr.. Window before the Minnesota
Legislature. Wel,-intormed Minnesota
politicians now here say that Secretary
Window cannot be defeated.
Senator Rollins and Blair had an in

day, and urged the appointment of

OUR HEALTH GUARDIANS.
Meeting Last Evening-The Cause
OF ImPuE tiles Ia our Drinking
Water to be Look ed Into.

In the absence of the President DR.
Draper was called to the chair at the
meeting OF the Board of Heath las,
evening"
The session was a lengthy one, but
was not of much Importance. A NUN.
Der Of nuisances, which have been on
hand fCr some time, were disposed of.
The collection OF garbage is now brirg
done without much trouble, under the
new contractors there being no com
pl.ints against them, which is some.
thing unusual.
Messrs. Springer and Draper were
appointed a committee to investigate a
nuisance at Twenty second and Tatnall
streets, in the shape of pond of
water on the property of Thomas
Mousley.
The late garbage contractor Of the
second district having thrown the con
tract for the above district up, the bal.
ance due him by the Board was audited
so that Mr. FoIsythe did not get any
thing. He was required to pay for the
advertising proposals for the removal
nf garbage for the second district, which
he had thrown up. After this was paid
a balance of IS remained, which was
ordered to be paid by Executive Officer
Underwood to the proper officials for
horse tax !; Mr.. Forsythe owing the
city for this tax.
The Secretary of the Board reported
that the expense for filling in the lots
between soeond and Third streets, east
of jackson street, belonging to Mr..
Benjamin G. Pole, OF Philadelphia,
which Was bore by the city, has not
been liQu,dated by the owner up to the
present ume. The Board instructed the
Secretary 10 again notify the owner,
that if the money was not forthcoming
soon the Board would sell his lot
A number Of nusances were reported,
among which the attention of the Street
Committee of City Council was called
to the filthy condition Of the cutters a.
Sixth and Poplar streets. These gut
ters weee reported by Executive Officer
Underwood, whereupOn the members
all joined in a discussion about the way
the streets and cutters are cleaned by
the Street ComIniSsiOner,and Mr.. Lynch
was handled rather roughly.
Only one case OF Sllail-pDX was re-
ported by the Secretary since the last
meeting, and only three flags displayed
throughout the city.
1t is the intention of the Board at its
next meeting to take definite steps
towards making a thorough survey VI

Editer's TribuiatiOus and TrOw.
ARrS.

An editor in Chicago last week or.
dered new pair of trowsers from tho
tailors. On trying them on they proved
to be several inches too long. 1t being
late on Saturday night the taiior's shop
was closed, and the ehitor took the
trowsers to his wife and asked her to
cut them off and hem them over. The
good lady, whose cuCumhers or melon
had perhaps disagreed with her, brus-
uuely refused. The same result follow
ed an application to the wite's sister
and the eldest daughter. But before
bedtime the wife, repenting, took the
pants, and, cutting of six inches from
the legs, hemmed them nicely, and
restored them to the closet. Half an
hour later the daughter, taken with
compunction for her untlial conduct,
took the trousers and, cutting off six
inches, hem med and replaced them.
Finally the sister.in-law felt the pangs
of conscience, and she, too, performed
an additional surgical operation on the
garment. When the editor appeared
at breakfast on Sunday the family
vhought a Highland chieftain had ar.
rived, for the trousers reached only to
the middle of his thigh.
