THE New York Times and other.
journals are not only seeking to deprive
Dorsey of the laurels which Arthur
bound about his brow at the New York
banquet, but are making him out a
common thief by alleging that he pock-
eted nearly all of the hundreds of thou
sands of dollars entrusted to him for
disbursement in the Indiana campaign
of 1876. 1t will be remembered that
that banquet was given to him especi-
ally in token Of his services in Indiana );
and in his speech on that occasion Mr..
Arthur, now president Of the United
States, said " Indiana was really, l
suppose, Democratic state. It had
been put down on the books always as a
state that might be carried by close and
perfect organization and great deal of
-sOap!'' He added: II see the re-
porters are present, therefore I will
simply say that everybody showed a great
deal of interest in the occasion and dis
tributed tracts and political documents
all through the state - and before he
concluded he said further If one
thing more than another secured our
success in New York, it was the moral
effect and support given to our cause by
our success in Indiana, which was more
largely due to Senator Dorsey than to
anyone else" According to the prose
cutions of Mr.. Arthur's attorney gen
eral this Dorsey is thief, and the
"soap " he applied to the Indiana cam
paign was money stolen from the public
treasury. And yet he remains secretary
of the Republican national committee
and there is no sign that the president
thinks less of him than ever

matches is peculiarly obnoxious, because
large quantities of stamps are sold at

direct premium is offered to monopoly.
The tax on so-called patent medicines is
really an indiscriminate tax on every sort
of small article sold by druggists, such as
cosmetics, soaps, and perfumery, domestic

pressive survivais Of the omnivcrous sys-
tenn of war taxation. At the present time

SKY when the sun smiles and sets be-

Little Rock (Ark.) Gazette. That
Journal further informs its readers
that Miss Swivel has been teaching
school on the river below the CITY:
that she boarded at the house OF Henry
Muckle, a widower and the leading
citizen of the neighborhood, and that
both George and John Muckel, sons of
the old man, were rivals for her hand.
Last week both Of the young men,
who graduated together at Northern
college in June, proposed marriage to
Miss Swivel. She told each to appear
before her at noon on Monday. They
obeyed. She said she love John and
adored George, so they must enter into
some contest for the prize. Would
they walk twenty miles in ten hours?
The lover who could make the better
time was to have her. Neither would
win unless the specified ground should
be covered in the specified time. The
lane at the house was half-mile long.
The young men started. At the ex-
piration of three hours Mr.. Muckle
approached, with the fair teacher on
his arm.

Anecdote of Judge Story.

The following anecdote about the
famous jurist Story is in private cir
culation, but is good enough for the
public eye. 1t was prepared for
the public eye. 1t WIS prepared for
Story's biography by his son, but
Charles Sumner, who edited the work,
struck it out. The narrative runs
like this: In younger days Story
lived in the aristocratic old town of
Salem, in Massachusetts. His great
ability was not then tempered by as
mach wisdom as he afterward dis
played, and he was looked upon with
dIstavor by some of the old families.
One day Mrs. A. called upon Mrs. B.,
and in the course of their conversa-
tion-there being seamstress present
Mrs. A. asked Mrs. b. if her daugh-
ter was going to the party that even
ing. No." was the short reply; Il
don't propose to let my daughter go
to any place which is frequented BY
that insignificant young puppy Story"
Years afterward, when Story was a
Judge on the Supreme Bench, he Wis
tied Salem, and was warmly welcomed
by those who had known him former
ly. Among his best friends apparent
ly was Mrs. B., and he accepted her
presseng invitation to dinner. Now,
in the years which had elapsed, the
seamstress had become possessed of a
home of her own, to which was attach
ed garden, with "a pear tree, which
was just then loaded with fine fruit.
After the invitation to dinner had
been accepted the seamstress received
a call from Mrs. BIS servant, asking
her to send up basket of her excel
lent pears for dinner, as ''Mr. Justice
Story, of the Supreme Court of the
United States, was 10 be present. =
