THAT was very pathetic and sug-
gestive incident recorded in yesterdays
papers where a gentleman who had
formerly led fast life, been Lieuten-
ant-Governor Of his State and Member
of Congress, but had abandoned poll
tics and returned to honest labor, being
at work on the streets in Charleston,
S. c., there fell under his lifted pick
from garbage cart a copy OF The
Congressional Record containing one
of his own speeches. What remin-
der this ought to be to all of US that
we cannot escape the consequence of
our own sinful acts. Even though we
repent of them, and abandon them,
and try in some humble, honest and
laborious occupation to bury the men,
ory of them in oblivion forever, the
garbage cart backs up and dumps
before us its remorseful and ruthless
reminders. Here is lesson which
should be taken to heart by every
Member of Congress. "Be sure your
sin will find you out" You may
think, when the eloquence inside of
you is fermenting and foaming and
sizzling to find vent, that it would
be a fine thing to turn the stream of
your impassioned rhetoric on to the
dead level of The Congressional Rec
ord, and beat the calm surface Of that
great National slop-bowl into wild
and troubled froth. Don't you do it {!
You'll be sorry the next day, and the
next, and always. Other people may
not read it. They probably will not.
But the speech will follow you for
ever. You can no more escape it than
Colonel Frederic A. Conkling's audi
ence can escape the XXXVIIth Con-
gress and the S4th Regiment. 1t is
liable to come up to you in any place
and at any moment. And even if you
abandon your present mode of life
and seek subsistence in the humblest
occupation by honest toll, the Meme
sis that never sleeps will follow you,
and when you least expect it fire at
you from garbage cart.-N. Y.

Ohio, having yielded to the beastly
appetite for too much strong drink,

HERE is Laura's composition on the
COW: "A cow is an animal with four
legs on the under side; one on each
korner. The tail is longer than the
legs, but it's not used to stand on.
The COW kills flies with her tail. A
COW has big ears, that wiggle on him
ges; so does the tail. A COW is big
ger than calf, but not as big as an
elephant. She is made small, so she
can go in the barn-door when nobody
is looking. Some cows are black and
some hook. A dog was hooked once.
She tossed the dog that worried the
cat that killed the rat. Black cows
give white wilk; so does other cows.
Milkmen sell milk to buy their little
girls dresses, which they put water in
and chalk; Cows chew cuds and each
COW finds its own chew. Then they
swallow their chew and chuse another
chew to chew. This is all there is
about cows"

Special to the Cincinnati Commercially
WASHINGTON, April 26.-It has
been suggested that the easiest way
out of the difficulty in the senate
would be the Withdrawal Of Riddle
berger, who could then 60 into the
Virginia canvass and say truthfully
that the administration party had done
all it could by a struggle OF two
months duration to give the liberal
movement in the south its support, and
now it remained for the bourbons to
say why they had refused their vote to
a Confederate soldier. General Ma
hCne, when asked to-day whether there
was any prospect of Riddleberger's
taking this step, said there. was not.
He might have the nomination for
governor of Virginia for the asking,
but he never backed out, and would
stick as a candidate for sergeant-at
arms. The Virginia r~eadjusters are
anxious, it is said. to have the senate
remain in session, because in that case
the campaign will continue TO attract
national attention and receive aid that
will not be given should the contest in
the senate close and the matter be lost
sight of for the moment.
