Examiner and Chronicle.

Wordsworth says: "The child is
father OF the man." and more than one
prison scene and prison memory has IL
Illustrated this inevitable link of charac-
ter between ones earlier and later
years. A young man arrested for
swlndllng his employer out of twenty
thousand dollars sat alone in crimi-
naps cell, out Of which daylight had
faded. Covering on his hard bed he
pictured to himself the world outside.
full of warmth and light and comfort.
The question came to him sharply
"How came you here? Was it real
ly for the stealing of that last great
sum-"
Yes or no.
Looking back twenty years he saw
himself shool boy, ten years old. He
remembered one lovely June day-with
the roses in full blom over the porch
and the dress his mother wore while at
her work, and the laborers in the
wheat-fields.
Freshest of all he remembered his
Uncle John-such queer, kind, for
getful old mani That very morning
his uncle had sent him away to pay a
bill at the country store, and there
were seventy-two cents left and uncle
John did not ask him for it.
When they met that noon, this boy.
now in prison, stood there under the
beautiful blue sky, and great temp
tatiOn came. He said to himself. "Shall
l give it back, or shall wait until he
asks for it? If he never asks, that is
his lookout. If he does, why, can
get it again together"
He never gave back the money.
A theft of twenty thousand dollars
brought this young man to the prison
door, but when a boy he turned that
way years before, when he sold his
honesty for seventy-two cents.
That night he sat disgraced, and an
open criminal, in his cell. Uncle John
was long ago dead. The old home was
desolate, his mother broken hearted.
The prisoner knew that what brought
him there was not the mans deed
alone, but the boys.
Had tie ten-year-old boy been true
TO his honor, life now would have been
all different. One little cheating was
the first of many, until his character
was eaten out, could bear no test. and
he wrecked his manliness and his life.

WHY BLAINE TOLD THE TRUTH.
A New Version Of the Cabinet Dis.
pute Around Garfield's Sick Red

pute Around Garfeld's Sick Bed.
washington Correspondence New York Sun
One OF your correspondents here fell
INTO very serious error the other dav
when he said that "Blaine was for the
Inability theory and SO was Mac.
Veagh." The statement is true as to
Blaine, but the reverse is true as to
MacVeagh. This, if not the real. was
the ostensible ground of battle between
Mac Veagh and Blaine all through the
weary weeks of Garfeld's suffering.
Blaine told the square truth from dav
10 day about the presidents condition
because he wanted the country and the
world to understand it exactly. That
knowledge would be the only iustifica.
tion OF the important step which he
supposed the cabinet would be forced
to take, and which he himself was
prepared to take at once.
Blaine proceeded on the obvious fact
that the presidents disability was. at
least for the time, total; that there was
no president; that the government was.
in truth, being carried on by a COM
mittee of the late presidents friends
without any legal authority, and that
there might come day of very severe
reckoning for this usurpation. He
was from first to last in favor of noti-
Tying the vice-president of this state
OF things, and inviting him to assume
the functions of Office which had con-
stitutionally devOlved upon him. But
Mr.. MacVeagh fared up fiercely at the
CDOOpCtlnn ho1I
president would still be only the vice
president discharging the duties of the
president, and only until the latter
should recover from his disability; and
that his temporary tenure might I've
hxed by the letter or proclamation of
the president calling him to the post.
MacVeagh held that the vice president
once entered into the Office was presi-
dent for the remainder Of the term.
and Gen. Garfield would from that
moment become and remain private
citizen.
But the knock down argument
against the Blaine scheme was. that to
approach Gen. Garfield with request
for his feeble and unattainable sigma
ture to such document as was deemed
necessary would kill him stone dead in
fifteen minutes. 1t was like asking
the king, in whom all but the fires of
ambition and the love of vast power was
slowly dying, to permit his friends to
shatter his crown before his eyes, and
then to salute his dreaded successor.
Upon this question there were from the
fall Of Garfield to the accession of Ar
thur bitter and constant conflicts in the
secret consultations of the cabinet, and
had Gen. Garfield recovered that body
could not have held together two
weeks. 1t held, as it was, only be-
cause there was nobody to accept a
resignation or to appoint successor.
This is why Mr.. Blaine scrupulously
told the whole truth in his dispatches
to Lowell, and it is why certain class
Of the late presidents friends denounce
Mr. Blaine, without any public reason
given, as time-server, a trimmer, and
a traitor. He, Blaine, never once be-
lieved for single moment that Gar
field would live.

When a Chinaman on board a quar-
antined ship in San Francisco harbor de-
sires to be taken ashore, he produces
imitation pustules on his face and body
by pinching his flesh with the moistened
knuckles of his index and middle fin
gers, and thus leads the ships doctor to
declare him afflicted with the smallpox.
The trick was the invention of Chi
nese passenger on the City of Pekin
when that steamer was in quarantine
He impaired it to about twenty of his
moon-eyed companions, and they all
pinched themselves, produced pustules
and were removed forthwith to the pest
house on shore. In q few days they
were discharged as cured, and began
work on a rancho on the San Joaquin
fully thirty days before the other pas
sengers were landed. And after perpe-
trating the ruse one of the number was
mean enough to tell the Frisco health
officers how he had cheap foolee" the
quarantine regulations. Such ingenui-
ty is deserving of better field.

A Papoose Killed by Mosquitoes.

In Aida Valley, Nevada, a couple OF
weeks ago, a small band of Indians was
camping near some willows where the
mosquitoes were very numerous. A
squaw left her papoose in the shade
while she played Piute poker with her
companions. The game was rather
high, and became so Interesting that she
forgot her unfortunate offspring for sew
eraI hours. When her attention was
again directed to the child she discover
ed that 1t had been almost eaten up by
mosquitoes. They had collected on the
little thing in such numbers that its face
and arms were completely raw from
their attacks. So many had bitten the
baby that it died next day from the Of.

a Hard Set.

There is nothing like telling the truth
in prayer, and when one prays he
ought to go directly to the point, in
stead of rambling all over creation. We
always took hearty interest in the fol-
lowing: The Beaver family, up among
the mountains, were q hard set. One
day the youngest of the boys was bitten
by rattlesnake, and the old folks were
SO scared that they sent at once for the
minister. who knelt down and prayed:
90, Lord! We thank thee for rattle
snakes! We thank thee that a rattle
snake bit Jim. We pray thee to send
one to bite John; send another to bite
Bill; and o, Lord! send the biggest of
thy rattlesnakes to bite the old man, for
nothing but rattlesnakes will bring the
Beaver family to repentance! Amen?'

Gossip.

What is cure for gossip? Simply
culture. There is a great deal of gos-
sip that has no malignity in it. Good
natured people talk about their neigh
bors because, and only because, they
have nothing else to talk about. Cos
sip is always q personal confession, eth
er of malice or imbecility, and the
young should not only shun it, but by
the most thorough culture relieve them
selves from all temptations to indulge
in it. 1t is low, frivolous, and too often
dirty business. There are country
nejghborhoods in which it RACES like a
pest. Churches are split in pieces by
it. Neighbors make enemies by it for
life. In many persons it degenerates
into chronic disease, which is practi-
cally incurable. York Home Jour-

Some Curious Calculations.

A rapid penman can write thirty
words in q minute. To do this he must
draw his pen through the space of a
rod, sixteen and half feet. In forty
minutes his pen travels a furlong. We
make, on an average, sixteen curves or
turns of the pen in writing each word.
Writing thirty words in minute, we
must make 4SO turns to each minute; in
an hour, $4,000; in day of only five
hours, IA, 600; in a year of 800 such
days 43,2O0,00O. The man, therefore,
who made 100000 strokes with his
pen was not at all remarkable. Many
men newspaper writers, forinstance-
make 100000. Here we have, in the
aggregate, mark 300 miles long to be
traced on paper by such a writer in 6
year.

They represent, in the interest of the
strikers, that the employers have given
no answer, and are not much inclined
to treat with the men who have been
troublesome and evasive. The attack
of dock laborers, at Bridgeport last
night, upon the Chicago & Alton train
was well executed and evinced careful
planning. Thoroughly armed with
sticks, clubs, pieces of iron and stones,
the number of broken and bruised
heads attests their effectiveness. Three
