to Senator Dorsey than to anyone else. ;"
In the light of the after history the
President would like to recall that
speech. no doubt. Mr. Dorsey has been
indicted upon prima tacie showing
that he has been guilty of the commits
sion of an infamous crime, in that he
conspired with Brady, a postal officer,
and others, to rob the United States.
1t is creditable to the President that
while he was willing to acknowledge a
debt. of gratitude to this man, whose
electoral methods were as corrupt and
debasing as were his dealings with the
Government. he will not permit his
personal obligation to operate in behalf
of the accused, now about to be tried
for his crime. He is taking care that
the laws shall be faithfully executed in
his ease. There is not the shadow of
executive effort in his behalf. On the
contrary, the Executive proceeds with
the task of sending to the penitentiary
the savior of Garfield and Arthur in the
campaign OF 1850. The progress of the
prosecution will be watched with alb
sorbing interest. Chicago Times Qnd).

Just before the New Orleans light
ming train pulled out from the depot at
Louisville. few days ago, avery hand
somely -dressed and pleasant-featured
lady created a wild sensation by rush
ing through the ladies' coach, scream
ing: "Save me! Oh, help! For God g
sake, save mer' Everybody in the
vicinity supposed somebody was trying
to murder her, and almost instantly a
crowd of gentlemen surrounded and Of
fered her assistance. She then stated,
in frightened way, that the engineer
and fireman wanted to kill her because
they knew she had killed negro at
Elizabethtown. This statement salts
fed the crowd that there was something
wrong about the woman, and she was
conveyed to the City Hospital While
en- route there she became wholly in
sensible, and was at last accounts in a
precarious condition. She said her
name was Fannie Duncan, and that she
lived at Elizabethtown. She had two
trunks and pet dog.

"Little by Little"

When Charlie woke up one morning
and looked from the window, he saw
that the ground was deeply covered
| with snow. The wind had blown it in
great drifts against the fence and the
trees. Charlie little sister Rosy said
| it looked like hills and valleys. On the
side of the house nearest the kitchen
the snow was piled higher than
Charles head. Mamma said she did
not know how black Aunt Patsey could
get through it to bring in the breakfast.
"There must be a path cleared
through this snow" said papa. 81
would do it myself, if I had time. But
| must be at my office early this morn
ing Then he looked at Charlie. "Do
you think you could do it, my son?''
Il, papa! Why, it is higher than my
head! How could little boy like me
cut a path through that deep snow?"
''How? Why, by doing it little By
little. Suppose you try; and if [ find a
nice path cleared when l come home to
dinner, you shall have the sled you
wished for"
So Charlie got his wooden snow
shovel and set to work. He threw up
first one shoyeIful, and then another;
but it was slow work.
81 don't think can do it, mamma"
he said. "A shovelful is SO little, and
there is such heap of snow to be
cleared away"'
Little by little, CHARLIE said his
mamma. ''That snow fell in tiny bits,
flake by flake, but you see what a great
pile it has made.''
Eyes, mamma; and if 1 throw it
away shovelful by shovelful, it will all
be gone at last. So l will keep on try
ing
Charlie soon had space cleared from
the snow, and as he worked on the path
grew longer. By and by it reached
quite up to the kitchen door. 1t looked
like a little street between snow-white
walls.
When papa came home to dinner, he
was pleased to see what his little boy
had done. Next day he gave Charlie a
fine blue sled, and on it was painted its
name, in yellow letters, "Little by Lit
He.".
The boys all wanted to know how it
came to have such name. And when
they learned about it, | think it was a
lesson to them as well as to Charlie

Hiding in their bees of green,
But their perfume fills the bowers,
Though they scarcely can be seen.

Commerce of Boston in 1881.

The Boston Board of Trades last an- nual report shows the following inter- esting figures: The imports decreased $3, 375, 131, while the exports increased $1, ,621, ,589. The dry goods trade and that in clothing were large and pros- porous. There was an increase of 43,- . 841 cases in the shipment of boots and shoes. The iron trade was more satis- factory than in 1880. The receipts of hides from foreign and domestic sources were larger than in 1880. A large in- crease is reported in the receipts of cot ton. The breadstuff trade is called disappointing. A diminution in the butter trade IS chronicled. The fish receipts were greater than the previous year. The exports of refined petroleum doubled. The arrivals and clearances ct the port foot up about the same as ir 1880. The wool trade was an average business. The grain receipts were IS, 249, 189 bushels, against 20, O81, 73t in 1880. The grnin exports were 1O. 722, ,492, while those of the year before were IA, 687, ,049. No suspensions for large amount are recorded. On thu whole, though the foreign trade suffered somewhat, the commerce of the DOT held it's own, and in domestic trad, large gains appear. Stores and dwell ing houses were in better demand thai since 1873.

When she grew more con- posed they led her to the elegantly-fur- nished room where Fritz lay. Near him on the bed was his broken violin and the paper containing the tart. The ad, monition to be quiet was not necessary. Every thought tf self was stihed, for had not all her young life been devoted to the care of this feir-haired boy whom she loved with more than sisterly affec- tion?
 They need not tell her to be quiet for his sake. Had she not. as far back as l she could remember, borne privation and toll for his sake, that she might be enabled to place little of the sunshine of life in bis path-very little, it is true yet how willingly, how lovingly it had been given. Crushing back the agonized cry that rose to her lips, when she saw him she bent over and tenderly kissed the innocent young face on which the death clew had already gath cred.

 As he ceased speaking, Gustchen knelt beside the bed and sang plain tive German air she knew Fritz loved. Those who heard never forgot the sound of the strangely choking tones as the weird melody flowed from her lips and eyes unused to weeping, shed tears of heartfelt pity. Toward morning the the lad died. His last words were e:
 Little mother the angels know our songs-I hear them singing"
 When Gustchen realized that the life had gone out forever from that man. gled little body, her grief was beyond all consolation. Fritz was buried from the mansion where he died and Gustehen was never allowed to return to her desolate home, for she was adopted by the gentleman who had been the un- willing cause of so much suffering and grief.
 In the years which followed she be- came celebrated singer, but never, even in the midst of her greatest triumph, could she shut out from her mental vision the picture of the gor- geously furnished room, the inlaid bed stead with it's blue satin coverlet, and on it the fragile form of the little musician clothed in rags and covered with dirt. His golden curls tangled over the pallid brow and the broken violin at his side.

The Balance of Trade.

Treasury Department statistics con- tinue to show that the balance of trade has turned strongly against this coun- try. The difference between the com mercial situation now and that of year ago is most marked. The excess of im- ports over exports for the month of April was $S, 696, 522, whereas for that month of 1881 there was an excess of exports of $11, ,7O6,OO1. In the months previous to April our exports and inn ports about balanced, so that the total excess of imports for tho four months is $S, 934, ,974. The excess of exports for the same period of last year was $94, 834, ,039. As was to have been expected, this great change in the commercial situation has established drain upon our stock of the precious metals. Ia April the shipment of coin in excess oi receipts from abroad was $1,754, 625, whereas in the same month last year the excess of receipts was $14, ,O84, $40. During four months of the present yea! the excess of shipments was $13,349, | 628, as against an excess of receipts fol the same period of last year of $24, $50, 314 Our silver coinage remains witt us, and the drain falls upon our golt l stock.

Bribery in Turkey.

Admitting the necessity of being liberal ill the matter of "tips" when requiring information in foreign countries, nowhere is one so plundered as in the East. It is not too much to say that the actual ruler of Turkey is Prince Backsheesh. The following will give some idea of the torments he puts you to. A traveller recently related his experiences as candidate for a con- cession from the Porte for an important company, which was to give 8 good slice of revenue to the Turkish govern ment, at the same time proving highly profitable to the company concerned. In his numerous visits to the Porte he had to give backsheesh all round to door-keepers, hangers-on, mutes, mili- tary officers ln full uniform, to the "vekil "-an official whose duty it was to introduce him on the several occasions to the pasha or miniSter-and not for getting round sum to the tune of three or four thousand pounds to the pasha himself. Then, after all this had been done, his scheme must go before the Council of State. They had to be "squared." The whole proceeding being Turkish, delay, of course, oc. cured. After having spent some thousands of pounds, he was told that if he really expected to do any good at all, he must go in for palace intrigue, and bribe the chief eunuch or coffee bearer, or both, or whoever had the ear of the Sultan. He did all this as recommended: got the greedy pasha (the only obstacle to his scheme) ap- pointed to high office, and the Sultan immediately passed his trade. The com. pany was foated forthwith. The total amount of backsheesh levied was the trifing sum of thousand dollars and the negotiator was complimenteo by every one in Constantinople fol having carried the affair through SC quickly and so economically

CT have been waiting for you, Ru- pert"
 Desdem ona McCaffery was witching strawberry blonde, with dreamy brown eyes and large voluptuous foot that attracted attention wherever she went. "I am never unhappy when you are with me, darling," she said, uestling her head on Ruperts shoulder " but did it never occur to you of what antagonistic emotions the life of 8 woman is made up?"
 Ut never did," replied Rupert. Il have been too busy this spring trying to figure out whether Iroquois would win race. But your sex is tickle; is it not |?

"I presume you refer, she said in cold, better-come-in-be- fore your r-ears-are-frozen tones, "to the line which reads: 'Fraity, thy name is woman.'"
 "I guess likely" was the reply.
 "And would you do anything in your power to make me happy ?"-and again the yearning, anxious, somebody hold-the dog expression comes into the dusky eyes from which tears are well ing.

A Conquered Country.
THE SYSTEM OF ESPIONAGE IN IRELAND.

THE SYSTEM OF ESPIONAGE IN IRELAND.
 From an article by James Redpath in tue Tralee (Kerry County, Ireland) Sentinel, of May 9, we take the follow ing:
 Wherever you go in Ireland you are confronted with the fact that you are ln conquered country, held ny the mili- tary power alone. At every railway station, as soon as you get out, except ing at the larger cities, every traveller is quietly "spotted'' by constable. At the leading hotels there are constables stationed, who (without being too oficious) closely watch every suspected stranger. I was especially thus hon. ored for several months but it is an an illustration of the folly of trying to force brave people to submit to des- pot1sm forever; that wherever l went l was constantly warned by some one of the constables (through other parties) that my movements were watched by special orders, and that even my letters would be opened, as they had copies of my handwriting sent them. I never received 8 letter sent direct to mo from America that did not bear the marks of having been tempered with in the postoffice.
 The English system of government in Ireland is 8 government by bullies, spies, and traitors. Sir William Har- court ordered things to be done every day in Ireland that would ruin any party, however corrupt, in our country, if even single instance of it were to be discovered. Yet English writers have the amazing hypocrisy to denounce Con tinental Governments for employing the services of troops and spies and servile officials.
