A Warning.

That event which ought most to attract
the attention of young men, of any that is
noticed in the papers of the past week, is
the recent death of Edwin James, Esq. in
extreme poverty, in London. Mr.. james
was ten years since lawyer in Philadelphia
Previously he had been very eminent law
yer and Queens Counsel in England, and
was, by many of the most prominent jurists
OF England, regarded as one of the ablest
lawyers at the bar. But just at the height
of his fame he became addicted to the cup
got into bad company; fell into bad habits
lost his standing at the bar and in society
fled his country; came to America, but even
here was unable to rise above the influence
of bad character and bad habits; returned
to England, but too late to reform or to re.
gain his lost position; and having dragged
out miserable life, he has now sunk into a
pauper's grave. Horse-racing, bad company
and bad habits are enough to ruin the young
men Of the best talents.

Items OF Interest.

In seems to be taken for granted in Gaor-
gia that Senator Ben Hill will not seek a
reelection at the close of the present term
on account of the precarious condition of
his health. The friends of Governor Col
quit have accordingly begun to press his
claims upon the place.
AN interesting case to lawyers has Just
been decided in the circuit court of Wash
ington. A suit for damages against rail-
road was compromised by the payment of
$1,000 TO the plaintiff without the knowl.
edge on the part of his lawyers. The
plaintiff then fed the country without pay
ing his lawyers fees. They sued the rail-
road company, getting judgment for thirty
three per cent of the amount of the COM

A Brave Dog.

They have remarkably intelligent dog
in New Brunswick, N. j, He deserves to
be appointed to the mounted police. A
horse attached to cart becoming unmanage-
able on Upper Church street, started off on
a run, leaving the owner sitting in the road,
where he had fallen when the animal started.
The horse was heading down the street
named, putting on more steam with every
bound that he made, until the corner OF
George street was reached. Here large
Newfoundland dog suddenly appeared in the
road, and rushed toward the horses head.
The dog made repeated efforts to grasp the
bride in his mouth, each time falling
heavily TO the road, and narrowly escaping
injury from the horses feet. But he at last
made an extraordinary spring in the air,
and, grasping the bride firmly in his teeth,
and put stop to the runaway. We could
not learn the name OF the owner of the
horse. The dog, having done a remarkable
service, disappeared in the direction of
George street. Eye witnesses state that it
was one of the most intelligent acts of a
dumb beast which they had ever seen.

Mrs. Hayes and Mrs. Hayes Picture.

To the Editor of The Republican In a re-
cent letter one of our correspondents has
spoken of Mrs. Hayes portrait as standing
upon the floor of one of the small parlors
reserved for the presidents private use, and
has suggested that its great size is probably
the only reason why it has not been hung.
Will you allow me TO recapitulate the facts
Miss Frances Willard, in the name of the
women's national temperance union, pre-
sented that picture to be hung in the only
public parlor of the White House, the east
room. She and the ladies' with her would,
think, have considered it an impertnence
to offer picture for the presidents private
room. The picture was of a moderate size
for the panel it was intended to fill. II was
hung in place and from the beauty of the
painting gave great pleasure to every one
who saw It. 1t was taken to Cincinnati to
be framed. The frame was labor Of love,
designed by women, and when this was fin
ished the whole went to New York to be
photographed and engraved. Since it was
returned to the White House no one has
seen it, except by accident, in crowded
company. 1t might as well be framed in
pasteboard for all the honor that has come
TO the ladies' labor of love. If it were hung
in Mrs. Garfields beautiful green room that
would not be enough, for that room is now
closed to the public for the first time in the
history of the nation. 1t is not merely be-
cause Mrs. Hayes was a temperance woman
that her friends wish to see her portrait
restored to its rightful honors in the east
room. II / were the wife of the president
of the United States, | would do as she did,
for she wrought an immense change for the
better in Washington society by her persist
ence. Yet am not, in the usual acceptance
of the phrase, temperance woman"
honor Mrs. Hayes because no woman before
her, not Martha Washington herself, ever
so honored the White House. | feel indig-
nant that "six wine-glasses at every plate u
can blind her husbands successor to the in
suit he offers her by allowing her portrait to
remain unhung. | shall be still more indig.
nant if he hangs it where the people, to
whom her life was devoted, cannot see it.
So long as Mrs. Hayes was at the White
House, the poor, the sick, the unfortunate
knew where to find a friend. If a clerk
were dismissed and left without means, if a
man old in the public service died and left
a family in want, if lingering sickness i'm
poverished, it was not flowers and fruit only,
but far more substantial things that bore
witness to the sympathy of the White House
The dainty which the confectioners call
"angels' food will always have certain
spiritual charm for those jewellers in Wash.
ington who happen to know that it is the
type of very material prosperity brought to
suffering woman through the practical
kindness of Lucy Hayes. o.H.D.
