In a very elegant palace a entered
a weary-faced, poorly dressed woman
with three little children-one a babe
in her arms. A look of joy crept into
her face as she settled down into one of
the luxurious chairs, but it was quickly
dispelled as she was asked rudely to
''start her boot"
A smile of amusement was seen on
several faces as the frightened group
hurried out to enter one of the common
cars. Upon one young face, however,
there was a look which shamed the
countenance of the others.
"Auntle," said the boy to the lady
beside him, 81 I'M going to carry my
basket of fruit and this box of sand
witches to the poor woman in the next
car. You are willing, of course?"
lie spoke eagerly, but she answered ;
"Don't be foolish. dear, you may need
them yourself, and perhaps the woman
is an impostor."
mo, I'l not need them" he an
swered decidedly, but in a very low
tone.
"You know l had a hearty breakfast,
and don't need q lunch. The woman
looked hungry, auntie, and so tired,
too, with those three little babies cling
ing to her. I'll be back in a minute,
auntie; l know mother wouldn't like it
if l didn't speak a kind word to the
least of these when L meet them"
The worldly aunt brushed a tear from
her eye after the boy left her, and said
audibly Just like his dear
mother"
About five minutes later, as the lady
passed the mother and the three child
rem, she saw "a pretty sight-the family
feasting as perhaps they had never done
before; the dainty sandwiches were
eagerly eaten, the fruit basket stood
open.
The eldest child, with her mouth filled
with bread and butter, said, "Was the
pretty boy an angel, mammapn
NO" answered the mother, and q
grateful look frightened her faded eyes,
but he is doing angels work, bless his
dear heart ~
And we, too, said "Bless his dear
heart !"-Peoria Call.

THE trial and conviction in the Uni

Judge Benedict, of General Curtis, the
Treasurer of the Republican State Com
mittee of New York, with the circum-
stances attending the trial, afford ma
terial for the consideration of politicians
and those interested in the study of pol
itics. Il is the first case of the kind
ever taken into court. The law which
is found to have been violated is an en-
actment of Congress of 1876, and forbids
any executive officer or employees of the
United States not appointed by the
President, with the advice and consent
of the Senate, to receive from or give to
any other officer or employees of the Uni
ted States any money or any other thing
of value for political purposes. Curtis

THE Philadelphia North american
thinks that if the Senate committee
which has the case of Fitz John Porter
in hand has so far yielded to Mr.. Lo-
gan's prejudiced antagOnism of the
pending bill as to strike out the clause
which authorizes the payment of Por-
ter's back pay, it is a strange illogical
and inconsistent proceeding. Either
Fitz John Porter is an innocent man or
he was rightly and justly sentenced. If
the latter, then there is no excuse for
the adoption of a bill restoring him to
his former rank in the army, but if on
the other hand he is innocent, if he has
been suffering all these years punish
me Mt which he did not deserve. if the
Schofeld commission was right in exon
Grating him and the president was JUS
titled in giving hin, the sO-calleG pardon
what excuse can the committee find for
refusing to recommend the payment of
the money which Porter has hitherto by
act of monumental injustice been pre-
vented from receiving ?''
