A NORWEGIAN REPUBLIC

Among the many queerly constructed
governments of Europe, says the New
York Mail and Express, that which nomi-
naliy makes one kingdom of Sweden and
Norway is one of the queerest. The
Norwegians have their own capital and
their own storthing, or parliament, and
the Swedish army is forbidden to. cross
the frontier. The danger Of centrali-
zation in such a government, if by that
word it can be called, is certainly at .
minimum. There seems to be now q
tendency toward still greater freedom in
Norway. 1t is stated that four-fitths of
the members just elected to the storth-
ing are avowed republicans. If they
shall succeed in setting up republic, it
will be remarkable political evolution.
Republics usually succeed tyrannies;,
the path of states, like that of the moon
around the sun, is not an even advance,
but wabbles" from one side to the
other. The government of the kings of
Norway and Sweden has not, however,
been generally oppressive. The NUT
terings of discomfort are not such as
have been heard for forty years in
Russia. Indeed, were it not for the
genius and energy of one man, the op-
position to King Oscar would probably
not have amounted to anything. That
one man is Bjorustjerne Bjornson,
novelist, dramatist, poet and-in the
best sense of that word-politician.
twenty-five years ago, soon after his
graduation from. the University of
Christiania, he edited a paper in that
city, viii eh stirred up so much conser-
vative opposition that he was compelled
to leave the country and to remain out
Of it for some years. Now, he has such
a hold on the popular heart that his
banishment is impossible; and if he
lives, we may see before long the re.
public of Norway established by a peace
revolution.

banks, in Offices, in stores, the unwary
young man is led to appropriate what is
not his own. Detection fellows, but
sometimes to prevent exposure, he is
quietly dismissed, perhaps at some fu-
ture day to figure in the police reports
of some other city. It is an established
fact, familiar to all observers, that lar
cenies and frauds of this nature connect
themselves in majority of instances
with more common or venial faults. For
example, Strengthened clerk whose SAL
ary is scanty, contracts debts which he
is unable to pay. There is propagative
power in debt, and he finds himself sink
ing deeper and deeper, and he abstracts
q portion of what is intrusted to his
watch under the self delusion that it is q
loan. Or young fellow is buckish and
vain of his person. He dresses and dec
CRATES far beyond his means, and in an
evil hour seeks to supply his necessity
from the property under his charge. Or
he has been smitten with passion for
the theater, billiards., dissipation, and
thus is led to the till, the drawer, the
sealed letters of the mail. More dread
full yet is the gaming of the pool-rooms,
SO largely practiced by our youth, itself
inseparable from dishones ty and leading
to thousands of small frauds at the places
of business. These considerations
should operate on our mercantile youth
as a powerful argument for plainness Of
dress, temperance in food and drink and
rigid frugality in all expenses. No
young aspirant for honorable gain can
ever acquire too intense horror of the
beginnings of dishonesty.

CAUSE OF GILLIAN SUCCESS.

The Chili-Peruvian war has proven
the fallacy of CHASING the people Of all
the Spanish-American republics together
as homogeneous in character and habits.
1t has demonstrated the fact that the
Chilians and Peruvians differ as widely
in most things as do the people of the
United States and Mexico. Difference
OF climate has something to do with the
divergence, as Chill lies outside of the
tropics and consequently possesses the
same advantage that the inhabitants of
the north temperate zone have over the
people living in the enervating hot
climates. Chili's government is not
only a stable one, but may even be
called aristocratic, as the proportion of
voters to male citizens is small. As
more directly connected with the recent
events, the different standards Of mil
itary discipline prevailing in t1hestwo
countries Chill and Peru-indicate
clearly the wide difference between the
two people and also the cause of Chili's
success. A correspondent recently writ
ing from Lima puts this matter in clear
light. He says: .After having been &C.
customed for m my years to the laxity
and carelessnc : Of the Peruvian military
regime, it quite startles one to note how
inaexible is the discipline observed in
the ranks of the Chilians. It is only a
few days since that an artilleryman shot
his sergeant in revenge for a number of
stripes vigorously administered, and
within 48 hours fell before the muskets
of firing party; and not two DAYS since
a couple Of deserters from one of the reg
iments were taken out to the Alameda in
the early morning, followed by process
sion composed of 25 men from every
corps in the garrison, and despatched to
another sphere of duty. Every day al
most the Army Gazette contains an
nouncements of the cashiering of officers
for misconduct and neglect of their obi
cations, and the soldiers are subjected
to the most rigorous supervision. Con-
sequently the service is not popular, and
the vacancies occurring in the different
regiments are hard to fill.'

.OeIirio!usly Happy. !!
tErom Demorest,s.M MONTHLY 1

-. - To-
Among the inmates of the insane
asylum on Blackwell's Island is hand
some man about fifty-six pears of age
who, the physician in charge says, is the
happiest man in the world and has been.
so for. .the-last two years. He imagines
himself enormously wealthy aud his de-
light is to offer costly presents to every
one he meets. He wants to make all the
world as happy as himself, and hence he
promises valuable presents to every body
he comes in contact with. He gives
away, in his fancy, houses, tarms, money,
jewelry, and rich wearing apparel, adap-
ting in every case his gifts the condition Of
the people who are to receive them. The
physicians say this poor man will come
to sudden death, for he is suffering
from general paresis, q disease which, it
is said, has greatly increased during the
last decade Formerly such cases were
very rare, and physicians would travel
miles to witness and investigate the
mental phenomena Of their condition.
Now they can find one in any asylum.
They live in a wild delirium Of Joy, and
can readily be picked out Of crowd of
lunatics BY q lay visitor, by their exces-
sive cheerfulness. Itwould be fortu.
nate thing ifllunacy always took the form
of general paresis, for an immense
amount Of suffering would be saved the
most unfortunate. class Of unfortunate
beings. Sufferers from the disease are
never violent simply boisterously iubi-
liant. They think the whole world is
their friend.

ENBEZZLENENT.

The U. s. Economist has an excellent
article on embezzlement, in the course
Of which it says that honesty, in the
common meaning of the term, is the
cardinal virtue of trade. Integrity in
matters of business, namely, justice be-
tween buyer and seller, is clearly the
bond of union among all who engage in
exchange Of value for value. To put
the matter on the footing of the adage
that +" Honesty is the best policy, I"
would be looking much too, low.
Bright honor, in all that regards proper
ty, is the dictate Of an; enlightened con-
science, and is ennobling to man. Prin-
ciples of honesty are implanted early,
perhaps at an age earlier than the en-
trance upon the most Juvenile business.
The community is startled when some
great sinner absconds. leaving hundreds
of widows and orphans beggared by his
monstrous frauds. But the food which
has now burst its banks began to trickle
many years ago; and close inspection
will, perhaps, show that the princely
villain has long been living in breach of
other commandments beside the eighth.
There was no moral principle. We
warn the youth who enters mercantile
house to watch that he may not be led
into temptation. You feel safe, but SO
have others so have all felt. The
sight and handling Of money works
changes in the mind. Where there is .
chance Of appropriating what is anoth-
er's, he who has no fixed moral principle
will brave the risk Of detection. It is
not only perilous but destructive, to ad-
NIT the treacherous thought that the
petiness of the crime removes its guilt,
Equally delusive and ruinous is the
pretext which commonly wells the be-
ginnipgs Of embezzlement, that what ID
extracted shall Be replaced. Theft Is %

employers, does 60 under some
