"A Remarkable Find.
a Eing Lost and Luckily Reoove,

a Ring Lost and Luckily Recovered.
Mr.. j. w. Davis, an attache of the
United States pension Office, at Washing
ton, D. c., tells the following story, which
the Emporium Independent personally
knows to be true "On Friday evening,
August 26th, while returning from a visit
to our relatives in Western Pennsylvania
and New York, on the Philadelphia &
Erie division of the Pennsylvania railroad,
just above Emporium, Pa, my wife saw
some little children waving their hands at
the cars as they fitted rast. Thinking to
please the little ones, she responded to
their salutations by waving her hand out
Of the car window. Just as she was in
the act of thrusting her hand out, We
passed railroad bridge mo. S2) which
spans West creek. The bridge struck my
wife's fingers, knocked off the ring, and
bruised but not seriously injured, severa!
members. Mr.. VIM. Yontz, master car
penter, employed in the shops of the Pbila-
delphia & Erie railroad company, at
Remove. Pa, was in the car at the time of
the accident, and, upon learning the facts,
said he would try and have the ring found.
Immediately subsequent he informed the
watchman at the bridge Of the case. The
watchmaD, however, failed to find the
rug. OH Luo OdUo mentioned. ScpCeiQOer
9th, Mr.. Yontz had personally visited the
poin: indicated, and after a short search,
found the ring in the shallow water be-
meath the bridge"
Mr.. YOntz returned the ring to Mr..
Davis by express, and refused to accept
any reward for his trouble, although the
former gentleman had said he would give
any one finding the lost trinket SEQ.
Mr.. Davis in his letter announcing the
return Of the ring further states % The
ring was one given my wife by me when
we were engaged, and of course as such
was very much priced, and now it has more
value than ever, and you may judge of her
delight on tho night of receiving the ring,
when, thinking that she was asleep, |
slipped the ring on her finger, but as she
did not prove to be asleep, of course she
took in the situation at once. This was
the first intimation she had that tho ring
had been found. We feel under great OBJ
legations to Mr.. YOntz for the kind manner
in whic he has treated u.s.

THE CAUCUs.


 At the meeting of the Massachusetts Club in Boston, Saturday, Judge Adin Thayer, of Worcester, took occasion to enter plea for the caucus-not the caucus as it is sometimes allowed to become when left to the manipu lation of the selfish and vicious, but as it is when disinterested men and good citizens bring their proper influence to bear and con- trol 1t. He emphasized its value and useful ness as the best instrumentality yet devised for the double purpose of aseertaining the popular will and educating the public mind :; and he had little respect for the complaint of the doctrinaires and critics who, at distance from all the agencies designed to give public opinion the benefit of effective and intelli- gent co operation, deplore the corruption of politics and predict the ruin of the republic because their isolated, individual opinions do not have their proper weight. He said, among other things:
 After 9 years of careful thought upon this subject unhesitatingly assert that the caucus is the best instrumentality ever de vised for the double purpose of ascertaining the popular will and educating the popular mind. I have talked with hundreds of men, thinkers, statesmen and politicians. upon the subject, and have never found single in- dividual who could name substitute at all satisfactory to me or to himself, and who did not, after discussion, frankly admit that no better system could probably be dey1sed But, if there is better way, pray let our theorists and doctrinaires make it known We wait anxiously for their discoveries in aid of purer and higher politics. We, who labor under the conviction, the deIusion 1t may be. that our duty to ourselves, our country, and to mankind can only be performed by at tending and making our presence felt at the primary meetings, and who yet trust that we have aspirations for the good and true in politics-we have waited for long years in the vain hope that they would demonstrate something beside their own conspicuous i'm potence in every crisis where they have not descended from the heights of a stern and austere individuality and accepted the leader ship, for the time being, of the despised and hated politicians. But we have waited in vain. One thing is certain, either the caucus is all right or it is all wrong. It occupies no middle ground. It has ruled the country in the past, and it will rule it in the future, so long as it is recognized as legitimate politi- cal instrumentality
 Judge Thayer's position is 8 sound one. The caucus is with us and no substitute for it has yet been found or is likely to be- Good citizens should see that it does not do wrong There is danger in the growing inclination of the better class of citizens to keep away from the caucus.

An Affecting Incident.


 If the phenomenal outflow of human sym pathy, whose tide has not yet fairly ebbed, shall tend to make who have helped to swell it kinder and better toward other hearts that bleed, well and good. But if we subs ti- ute our share in it for those nearer but equally sacred duties; if we say to the ar ficted poor around us, "It is Corban, gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profted by me, !" then we are wretched set of frauds in Gods sight. call to mind noble nature with whom it is far otherwise. On 8 dark day in our Presidents fate, the first day on which we heard discouraging news from FL beron, General Walker, Superintendent of the Census, was passing homeward, heavy hearted from his office duties for he loved General Garfield tenderly. By chance he saw within an open doorway tiny coffin, the coffin of 8 three-year-old octoroon child whom he had stopped to speak kind word to as she played upon the street The little maid soon knew his cordial voice, and but 8 few days before her sudden death she had rushed out from her basement home to show hlm her new doll, her modest contribution to the census He passed in silently where the coffin lay, and stood beside her little waxen body I met him there, for the child was pet of mine, my lowly little neighbor. I held her in some such regard as one might hold a neighborly kitten, little thinking how soon death would endow her image with his own majesty. The General spoke softly and reverently of the little spirit, then told me in few words of a daughter of the same age whom he had buried, and as he mentioned her noticed the quick tears spring to his eyes. Soon he bowed and passed out as quietly as he entered. An hour later ser want brought to the house of mourning with card addressed in his handwriting, rich and costly floral wreath, an offering as ele- gant as if made to the child of his nearest friend They laid it on the plain little coffin, and it rested there with tender grace-as royal gift in it's way as was the Queens wreath I later saw the stately coffin of the President.
