BY TOM BRENNAN.

It is unhealthy to wear your boots IN
the house after one o'clock a. m. The common
plan is to remove them in the hallway, but many
ofour most experienced husbands prefer the front
steps Always take boot in each hand when
going upstairs This plan gives you two shots at
the cat after stepping on her. Never say anything
20 your wife on these occasions except "yes" and
emo" Eating cloves is apt to impede the speech.
Never compel your wife TO get up first and build
the fire.. If she doesn't do it of her own accord go
TO sleep again. Another way of accomplishing the
same result is to whistle "Grandfather's Clock. +"
true woman will always get up under such Cir
eumStances.
When your daughter gets big enough to have
gentlemen visitors, give up the parior to them
eheerfully 1t is much cheaper to let the dog bite
them as they start for home than to seold the girl
until she cries. and then have TO buy her sealskn
saegue as souvenir of your idiocy.
Always remember your wedding day and try TO
mark the occasion by some little act showing that
you remember It. Coming home half full will often
signalize the anniversary in a marked but mex
pensive manner.
Bring your sons up to some occupation that Will
enable them to get q living when thrown upon
their own resources. Nothing makes young man
80 self-reliant as having a trade OF his own. In

john Adams and Franklin.

The Adams family, unlike most families.
mas held its moral character and s )cial posi-
ii IN ua.m paired tn ough four generations.
II has lost no mental force, nor power and
will to s-Ive the county. But it has also
retained certain mental in6rmities, which
have hindered its members from just
appreciation of other statesmen, and from
cordial cooperation with them.
CHARLES Francis Adams has illustrated
this trait by a singular incapacity to under
stand Abraham Lincoln's greatness, and his
pre- eminence in his own Cabinet.
John Adams, the founder of the family,
with all his mental power and patriotism,
fell into similar plumbers. His letters show
wonderful sagacity in compromising
political questions, and as wonderful an
obtuseness as to the merits of his associates
When he was associated with franklin as
Commissioner to France, he was perpet-
ually undoing what Franklin had done by
superior insight into French character and
methods. Adams was suspicious of Frank
lin, and equally suspicious of the French
statesmen, and by his obstinate preiudIces
endangered the alliance between France
and this country.
The Indianapolis leader. (Indianapolis, Ind.) 1879-1890, 1881-12-17

The colored people OF the South will
rise UP and get out of every locality
where they are denied their political
rights. Will such denial pay in the long
run?-National Republican.
Not 50 sure about that. There is
slight probability that the colored man
will "rise up and brain the scalawag
that forcibly attempts TO prevent him
from exercising his constitutional rights.
Let it be borne in mind that a new
generation of Negroes is entering the
arena of political life composed of men
who have read of Magma Charta, of
Tousaint and free and Independent
Hayti which stands to day as monu-
ment to the valor of himself and COM
peers, of the struggles of our own be-
loved country for independence, of the
republics of ancient Greece, and of the
valor of the men of their own race on
many battle fields in defense of our
government and the priceless jewel OF
liberty. 1t is assuming a little too
much to suppose that these men are
going to "rise up" and run away from
their homes, and seek their fortunes

States, especially those in the District
of Columbia, and the colored man at
that time representing the State OF Miss
issippi in the Senate, the schools OF the
District would have been entirely freed
from every sort of color prescription,
and managed in accordance with the
genius and teachings Of our Republic
can democracy-democracy which CIV
ing every citizen the opportunity to pay
taxes, and excusing none therefrom,
denies to no one Of its supporters the
equal and common privileges afforded
by any and all institutions built and
supported by taxes levied and collected
in the manner indicated democracy
which breathing the spirit of Christian
charity and philanthropy, and knowing
no child of the human family by the
color of his face, and limiting its gifts
and benefits by no circumstance OF pecu-
liarity of race or nationality, offers the
amplest opportunities and the largest
advantages, practicable to any and all
who by worthy endeavor and struggle,
seek to so elevate and improve them
selves as to become useful to society
1t is with the heartiest feelings you
will perceive then, my dear Sir, that
send you hence my hearty congratula-
tons and express to you my most cor
dial hopes that the work that you and

pushed by you with such vigor and wis
