And Ella did get away, carrying with
her twelve hundred dollars, the result of
Mr.. Leigh's advertising.
"All of the expenses are paid, and this
is your legacy" the kind old gentleman
said.to Ella. "Mr Cooper has two tables,
three chairs, and cabinet, that cost him
just double what he offered you for the

And Ella did not give one sigh of
regret over the fact that she had not one
piece of that beautiful old furniture"
when she put the bank notes into Har-

legacy.
But Mrs. Gerard Cooper heartily
echoed her husbands words of vitupera-

wound up his story by saying.

Garield's Distdste for "COnfllcts OF
Menu

Mr.. E. V. Smalley contributes to the
December Century Magazine paper on
characteristics of President Garfield,
chiefly based on long and intimate per-
sonal acquaintance. The following extract
is significant
81 do not think it is generally known
that Garfield rejected overtures in 1872
to be elected to the Senate by the votes
of the Democrats, combined with those
of number of Republicans from his
section of Ohio, who were dissatitied with
the caucus nomination of their party.
The reason he gave for this course was
that the position would not be an indie
pendent one, and that he would be
placed under obligations to the Demo-
Gratis, although they asked no pledges.
Three times he declined to be candi-
date for the Republican nomination for
Governor of Ohio, when he had only to
consent to let his name go before the
Convention to have had the honor
conceded to him without q contest.
In preferring the House of Representa-
tives to the executive chair at Column
bus, he was wise. His place was in the
field of ideas, arguments and construc-
tive work, and he would have been res
tive at any post of duty which limited
the activity of his intellect, and held him
down to the enforcement of statutes made
by other men. Indeed, the presidency
was foreign to his tastes, except that 1t
gave. him opportunity to impress his
ideas upon Congress and the country.
few weeks before he was shot, / heard
from his own lips an expression OF the
distaste he felt for the business of decid-
ing between the claims of individuals for
office. Il have all my life delighted in
conflicts of ideas, he said, but l never
cared for conflicts of persons. Now am
obliged to spend nearly my whole time
in hearing arguments and appeals in be-
half of individuals He went on to say
that if he failed of success in his new
position. he thought it would be because
of his want of liking and training for this
important part of executive duties. He
found it almost impossible to give his
mind to the question whether A, b or G
was the best man to be postmaster at

One of the ludicrous incidents of the
Congregational jubilee at Manchester,
England, was the perpiexity of the COM
mittee having charge of the collection of
hymns when the jubilee hymn of Chas.
Wesley was proposed. 1t begins with
the familiar line, 1.-THE year of jubilee has
come" and would have been specially
appropriate had not the unfortunate line
been found, Return, We ransomed sim
ners, home" 1t was thought that the
American delegates might regard this re-
Election as uncalled for, and the hymn
was given up. The joke was too good to
keep, and when the omission was ex-
planned at the closing ceremony by Mr..
Milne, his words were received with
roars of laughter.

The editor of the Louisville Courier
Journal has been thrown into wild
spasms of terror by the fact that ladies'
reform association in England, composed
of eminently respectable women and led
by the Viscountess Habberton, proposes
to do away with the present style OF fe-
male apparel and don the masculine
trowsers, and he shrieks in dismay: 1--WE
are willing that they shall have the bal
lot if they convince us that they want it;
we are willing that they shall give us
the whole width of the street-crossing
and take to the mud; we are willing that
they shall resign to us their seats in the
horse-cars and other public places, and
receive in return our placid disregard;
we are even willing that they shall crawl
out of the bed first in the morning and
kindle the fire; but, by the holy hide OF
the sacred bull, we will cling to our
pantaloons, Till the stars are old, and
the sun grows cold, and our last gallus
button shall lose its hold.
