Setting Into Politics AGAINST Their Will,

The readjuster delegation from Virginia, which
by such singular chance accidentally" met in
washington, and subsequently in Harrisburg. at
the residence OF Senator Don Cameron was ap-
parently dragged into politics by some means
vi course, these gentlemen did not willingly en-
Yer into the discussion of any political topic be-
cause did not several of them Indignantly repel
the suggestion that they would permit any con-
Hderatlon so selfish as politics to move them
while the Presidents life was in danger? 1t
appears however, n fact that Mr. Riddeber-
ger and his coalition friends were drawn into q
discussion Of the Virginia situation with Sena-
tor Cameron. Mr.. Riddleberger. so the dis
patches from Harrisburg state, assured Senator
Cameron that = the only republicans who oppose
Q coalition with the readjusters are those hold
ing office under the United States government"
This assertion, unfortunately for RiddIebergef.
attracted the attention of some of the Virginia
papers which, in REPUTATION. publish a list of u.
3. officials who favor coalition This list in
ciudes U. S. Judge Hughes, Marshal Lewis (can-
didate on the readjuster ticket, District Attor-
ney Lewis, Collector Brady. RYes and Fernoln.
the Richmond postmaster, Gilman and other
federal officials of less Importance; while the
only offee-holder who is pronounced in oppo-
sitiOn to coalition is Major Yost. postmaster at
Staunton. Congressman JOrgensen and Dezen-
Gorf are also determined opponents of the Goa
Hion movement, but they cannot, in any proper
sense be included among what are ordinarily
termed federal office holders. 1t further appears
that Mr.. Riddleberger was as unfortunate in the
counsel he got from Senator Cameron as in the
information he gave the Senator The Senator
Is reported as saying to Riddeberger in
pretty plain terms, that the republican
party could not afford to longer support
him (Riddleberger) for Sergeant-at-Arms
OF the Senate; that such course would
result in positive injury to the party and that it
VIII be necessary TO substitute some distin-
gushed Union soldier for Riddleberger as the
candidate for sergeant-at-arms next winter II
Is intimated in the dispatches that Senator Cam
erons mind was too much engrossed with the
President and his critical condition to give much
Thought to politics, and that possibly. had the
question of Virginia and Riddleberger not been
forced upon the Senator Just at that time. he
might, perhaps, not have been so short and
sharp In the delivery of his conclusions. But as
this would imply that it was the Virginia coali-
tionists who introduced the subject of politics
there must be some mistake about it. They had
declared while in Washington that nothing polit-
teal could enter their thoughts while the Presi-
dent was in danger.

Carving Pistols.

Judge Pinkney. of Baltimore in passing SEN
tence upon person convicted of firing pistol
In the streets, pronounced the existing law of
Maryland against the practice Of carrying con-
cealed weapons as inadequate. and expressed
the hope that the next legislature will see fit to
pass an act stringent and severe in its provisions
The Baltimore AD'a-icas speaks out III support
OF Judge Pinkney in his crusade against this
unnecessary and dangerous practice with de-
termination that promises good results. On the
18th of July there were, in Baltimore more than
twenty persons either killed or wounded bv
firearms Under the city ordinances q fine of
hye dollars is the extreme penalty that can be
inflicted for firing gun or pistol in the streets
The courts of Baltimore are manifesting a pur-
pose TO suppress the habit, but with laws of so
lenient character as those now existing the
task will be difficult. In one of the courts the
owner of pistol which was accidentally the
cause OF the death of lady, was punished as an
accessory to the Offense. notwithstanding the
fact that the weapon was fired by another hand
The Anse,lcGul urges the enactment of the Phil
adelphia law, which makes the penalty
Of carrying concealed weapon with
intent to 'unlawfully and maliciously
to do injury" solitary confinement
In PRISON at hard labor, and
authorizes the jury to consider the fact that such
weapon was carried as prima facie evidence of
the evil intent. The Maryland law prescribes fine
of only ten dollars as the maximum penalty
Such trivial penalty would never deter man
with mischief in his heart from carrying deadly
weapons; the Philadelphia law would Even the
most reckless would hesitate to risk solitary i'm
prisonment in penitentiary for the privilege of
carrying deadly weapon about them; and with
courts inclined to put down the practice, as
those of Baltimore evidently are, law so Sc
we're could, no doubt, be made effective. The
Increasing number of hOrnicides in the country
and the frequent accidents from firearms call
for the strongest measures against the carrying
Of concealed weapons, as all the murders, and
nearly all the casualties, proceed as direct re-
suit from this practice.

The best preparation Of the boy for q

A SagaciOuS Bear.

The Captain of Greenland whaler,
being anxious to procure bear without
damaging the skin, made trial of the
stratagem of laying down the moose of a
rope in the snow and placing a piece of
meat within it. A bear was soon enticed
to the spot by the smell of the meat.
He saw the bait, approached and seized
it in his mouth, but his foot at the same
time, by jerk of the rope, got entan-
gled in the moose he pushed it off his
paw and retired. After having eaten
the piece of meat, which he carried
away with him, he returned. The moose,
with another bait, had been replaced !;
he pushed the rope aside and again
walked off. A third time the moose was
laid, but, excited to more caution by the
evident observation of the bear, the
sailors buried the rope beneath the snow
and laid the meat in deep hole In the
center. Once more the bear approached,
and the sailors were hopeful of their
success; but bruin, more s2gacious than
they expected, after snufing about the
place for a few moments, scrsped the
snow away with his paw, threw the rope
aside, and again escaped with his prize

CHAPTER XII
SEARCHING FOR A CLUE.

General CRANKY Dumont consulted his
lawyers upon the extraordinary scene which
had taken place in the empty house in the
court near Fourteenth Street, but these gen.
tlemen, clever and experienced as they were,
could do nothing to help him.
The house had been examined at their
direction, and the panels of the room in
which the General had seen the shadowy
form of the woman had been sounded, but
with no result. There was a trRp-door in
the ceiling. but there was no visible opening
in the wall, and it was, apparently, through
the wall that the General had seen the wO-
man disappear.
The affair was buried in mystery, and the
attorneys, sound men of business, were in
clined to think that the General had been
deluded by some feverish dream.
The conduct of Maud Ovington had en-
tirely set at rest any faint suspicion which
CRANKY Dumont might for moment have
entertained respecting her. How could he
doubt one so bright and beautiful Was it
not n sin to disbelieve in the innocence of so
fair and lovely creature2
'1Her angel face seemed to reproach me
for my mad folly" said the General, as he
reflected upon the interview between Maud
and himself. ''But will show her that /
can trust her. I will prove to her that am
not so base as to suffer myself to be infiu-
enced by vile conspiracy against our hap
piness."
TO the surprise of Miss OVington, CRANKY
Dumont waited upon her father and begged
as an especial favor to himself that, instead
of being deferred till the ensuing spring, the
marriage should take place Immediately.
'.But, my dear Gfanby," exclaimed Mr.. |
OYington, ''surely You would not wish such

Dangers Of Childhood.

Childhood is the period during which
the foundations of the physical structure
are laid. It ends, at the age of about
15, with the completion of the permanent
teeth. It is characterized by almost alb
solute dependence ON the parents, and
therefore the responsibility rests upon
them whether the foundations of the
superstructure shall be good or bad /;
and, indeed, whether there shall be any
superstructure.
The fact that one-haH of all who are
born die within this period, while multi
tudes of adults find, when it Is too late,
fatal defects in the very groundwork of
their constitutions, is n fearful witness
against the competency of most parents
for the care of children. What farmer
would employ hand that let one-half of
all his calves, colts and lambs die?
In the matter of food, if milk fails the
mother, how few mothers know what to
give the child How few know that
many of the compounds sold as in
fants' food" contain almost no food
whatever and that cows milk, harmful
when taken alone, is generally safe with
a certain proportion of ime-water
How few mothers know that good wet
nurse would save almost any babe nursed
by hand, and that is nearly as certain to
die of cholera infantum How many
know that too-protracted nursing viii
result in "rickets ?" That overlooking
all through childhood is prolific source
of disease? and that, in case of most
bowel complaints, spare diet for a few
days is better than all medicine?
In our climate, where the mercury
ranges through 140 deg, and often
varies between the extremes suddenly
and violently, how little do mothers
realize the Importance of aiding nature,
with clothing and food, so that the in
ternal temperature is held steadily at
SO deg. Do you know that change Of
half a dozen degrees of the internal
temperature, either way, is almost sure
death?
The great mortality of children in
summer is due mainly to heat. An
abundance of wooden clothing alone can
guard against the effects of the violent
changes in the climate of autumn, and
winter, and spring.
How few are aware that the infectious
diseases which so ravage childhood are
caused by careless exposure to the con-
tagion, or, if aware, act accordingly -

Female Clerks at WashingtOn.

The government kindly allows its
clerical employees here one months leave
of absence with pay during the year, but
as there are few, especially of the lady
clerks, but lose q part of this in dT1blets,
through sickness or family cares, during
the other eleven months. There are not
many who are gone the full thirty days
in the summer. Some are even too poor
to go at all-those who have dependent
families around them here and must
needs keep up home whether they go
or stay. These take their vacations for
family sewing. The women who go
away on vacations go quite regularly to
tlfeir old houses at the North, the East or
the West. They are good women, almost
invariably, with warm home attachments,
and they seek the old roof-tree for the
annual blessing of the white-haired
father and mother or to tighten the OF
of the invalid sister with visit and a
nice present.

AFTER TWENTY YEARS.
CCoNTINUD.1

Captain G. w, Nelson, of New Orleans,
has just come into possession of a magnif-
cent silver telescope, awarded to him over
twenty years ago by the British Government
for brave and noble conduct in rescuing dur
ing fierce gale on Nov. 6, 1859, the crew
of the British brig Penelope, waterlogged
and at the mercy of the waves. The crew
numbered eleven, and were discovered cling
ing to the rigging of the helpless vessel.
The telescope was first sent to Washington,
then to Boston, then to New Orleans, where
it remained during the war. The owner
was advertised for in 1873, but not until
short time ago did the captain hear of it.
The old sailor is now happy in the thought
that his action did not go unrecognized by
the British admiralty

THERE is at Brussels a curious case of
chronic drowsiness. a man about forty
five years of age, apparently in perfect
health, has lately been attacked by an
irresistible tendency to sleep. As soon
rs he stops walking or seats himself even
to eat he falls into deep slumber. Ali
the remedies prescribed by the leading
Belgian physicians have failed to produce
any effect upon him. This is said to be
the first case of the kind In Europe,
although such cases are by no means
rare among the negroes of Guinea Eha
call them NeLGVGSl.
