"What is the first thing TO be done in case

the boy at the foot of the class, whose father
had been burned out once OF twice.

A little boy of seven had been ordered 10

by which most men are moved: A Sunday

would be your duty TO forgive him, wouldn't
it7" "Yes, ms'am," from the whole class.
"And you would really forgive him,

The nervous mother of bright little boy
was alarmed lest he should take the whoOp-

hood. She talked so much about it and
worried over it that she bad infected the
child with her fears to such an extent that
he would scarcely leave her side Onen ight

an explosion followed, and the package wa,

chemicals with which the matches are pre-

The package was addressed TO Alfred

Men and Women.

What is that makes all those men who as
sociste hsbituslly with women, superior to
those who do not2
What makes that woman who is accus-
toned to stand at ease in the society of men
superior to her sex in general2 Surely be-
cause they are in the habit of free, graceful
continued conversation with the other sex
Women in this way, lose their frivolity
their faculties awaken, and their delicacies
and peculiarities unfold all their beauty, and
captivation in the spirit of intellectual rival
~; and the men lose their pedantic, rude
declamatory, and sullen manner. The coin
of the understanding and the sheart change
continually. The asperities are rubbed of
the better materials are polished and bright
ened, and their richness, like that of gold i
wrought into finer workmanship by tn
fingers of women, than it ever could be b.

sharp Criticism OF the Speaker OF the
House OF Commons by Ex- Speakers of the
House of Representative Banks and
Collar.
New York Herald. Feb 81
The recent action of the Speaker of the
House OF Commons in shutting off debate
on the Irish question is freely and fully
commented upon by some of our most EN-
inent American parliamentarians in the
letters and interviews which follow. Mr..
Colfax, who was Speaker of the House
Oh Representatives, and as Vice
President, the presiding officer of the
United States Senate during General Grants
first administration, is satisfied that no
American Speaker would have attempted
such ruling against a minority" General
Banks, who preceded Mr. Colfax as Speaker
OF the House OF Representatives, inclines TO
the opinion that no other course was open
TO the Speaker Of the House of Commons
than the one he adopted. IL was an extreme
and unprecedented measure but there was
practically no choice between it's adop-
ton and Parliamentary chaos. Mr.. John
Nj. Barclay, whose views are also given, is a
high authority upon questions of this char
acter lie was for many years the Journal
Clerk OF the House of Representatives and
is the author of the volume known as bar
clay's Digest" which was the accepted par
liamentary manual of the House of Repre-
sentatives until the Democrats obtained
control of that branch of Congress Mr.
John w. Forney is one OF our best paria-
mentary authorities. He was elected Clerk
of the House of Representatives during the
memorable Sherman-Pennington contest for
the Speakership and subsequently the Sec
rotary OF the United States Senate.

and that they should make
things lively for the fort. The
Mexican said Carr and his COM
mand were In the fort, when the
Indians said they must get back to
San Carlos at once, and started off.
There is no doubt that plans had
been made for the San Carlos Indi.
ans to join the White Mountain
Indians on their return from the
fight and attack the fort in over
whelming numbers. During The
afternoon the attack was made.
Arrangements were made for secur-
ing the safety of the ladies', and
Gen. Carr's son remained outside
of their quarters, rifle in hand, as
their sentry. While riding around
the pickets Gen. CARTS horse was
shot in the foot. Another attack
was made of which we have no
particulars. Several attempts were
made to send couriers through
to Thomas with dispatches, but
they all returned reporting large
bodies of Indians on the road.
Finally, on the morning of the I'd,
Lieutenant Stanton, with thirty
men, was sent to Thomas. AT that
time those at Apache anticipated
a general war, but had no fears for
the safety of the fort.

to Lowell: The President left
Washington at half pact six yes
terday morning and reached Long
Branch at twenty minutes past
one. He seemed to bear the jour-
ney well, though the heat was very
oppressive. After his arrival he
was for several hours restless an d
showed signs of great fatigue, an d
complained that his back had a I
bruized feeling. His pulse rose to
129 and temperature to 101. At
half past ten he fell asleep and his
fever began to abate. The surgeons
regarded these symptoms as the
necessary result of the journey
and expect a favorable change
within the next two days. The
fever is in part attributed to the |
excitement he felt at the prospect |
OF coming. He earnestly desired |
to leave the White House aud his |
weary eyes welcomed the sight of
the sea. The developments of the
next sixty hours are awaited with
