Your Mother.

Have you ever seen her walk
slowly across the floor and sinking
into chair with a heavy drawn
sigh, hang her head in sad, medi-
tative manner, gazing long and in
tently upon the ffoor2 Ofwhat do
you suppose she is thinking at such
times? All no doubt she is recall
ing to her mind many of the scenes
through which she has past during
the long years that have elapsed
since she first crossed the soft rip
pling stream separating the nowOry
land of childhood from the great
responsibilities of womanhood. She
is thinking, too, of the many tedi
GUS hours she has spent in bringing
you up in health and refinement;
and, no doubt, of how selfish and
ungrateful you are proving your
self in return for her anxious care.
You may feel that you are fully
performing your duty toward her,
but do not forget the fact that it
would be utterly impossible for you
to 60 beyond this-there is no love,
no care, no forgiveness on earth to
equal hers, and do you think that it
is in your power evers to do enough
for such q friendp When you pass
near her and she looks up at you
and smiles, do not--as the writer's
heart has often times been panied to
see others do-pause just for a mo
ment, form hasty excuse and hur.
ry on; but seat yourself at her side,
take the dear old wrinkled hands
within your own, and strew flowers
of fblessedness all around her in her
lonely hours. Count the wrinkles
in her dear old face, and for every
one count q dozen sighs, sorrows,
cares and anxieties all for your
weak sake. Think, oh! think of
the long wearisome road over which
she has travelled, and try to make
her happy, now that heaven has be-
slowed upon you that privilege.
That dear old mother cannot be
with you always. and when she is
gone-yes! when those feeble hands
lie cold and still upon a ifeless
breast, when those loving lips have
been sealed in the awful solemnity
of death, when you stand and
and gaze upon the silent form be
meath the coffin lid, tits then that
the past will swell up in your sch-
ing heart, and you remember many
an act by which you might have
added to her comfort and pleasure.
'Tis ''then that forgotten tones OF
love viii recur to you and kind
glances shine out of the past-Ohi

EGYPT.

The Egyptian situation remains very I'M
satisfactory. 1t is being learned that
Arabl Pasha lied like a Bonaparte about
the effects of the bombardment, causing it
to be published that the forts had de-
stroyed and captured the whole Of the
British ironclads, and of course thereby
encouraging those who believed the state
ment. As, however, Arabs retreat from
Alex andria was stubborn fact which
could not be made to harmonic with the
story about the destruction of the feet, it
is, probable that the latter would not have
obtained any credence but for the mys-
FERROUS inaction of the conquerors. As it
is the rebellious Pasha has had plenty of
time to invent whatever explanation
suited him, and what is much more seri-
Gus, he has had time to raise the natives
upon the Europeans Of the interior. When
the final summing up of this affair is made
we are afraid that Mr.. Gladstone will find
it difficult to escape responsibility both for
the massacres at Alexandria after the
forts had been silenced, and for
the massaeres which have been the
direct consequence of the British mac
tivity since the bombardnent. And unless
energetic measures are resorted to for the
purpose of repairing those blunders, it is
highly probable that the remaining
foreigners in Egypt will be sacrificed. As
regards the action of the Porte, England
will indeed be blind if she depends upon
that, or if she hesitates to proceed with
the fulfllment of her duty because the
Porte is beginning to pretend to be willing
to do something. Mr.. Gladstone has put
every European throat in Egypt in the
utmost jeopardy, by his course SO far. If
now he abandons the helpless whom he
has thus exposed to massacre, he will de.
serve at the hands of the civilized world
execration not less bitter than he himself
uttered against the Turks few years ago.

DOING THINGS DIFFERENTLY.

In San Francisco the other day brutal
ruffian who had beaten a girl almost to
death was found not guilty by jury. In
Sacramento brutal ruffian who had beaten
girl almost to death was yesterday SEN
fenced by the Police Judge to six months
imprisonment in the County Jail, with
work on the chain.gang. OF course there
is no excuse for the existence of such
marked difference in the administration of
justice. The actual explanation lies in the
fact that the San Francisco hoodlums have
system framed expressly to suit them.
selves. They can always demand jury
trial, and as they have the means of getting
the kind of juries they want it is often i'm
possible to convict them. The fragrant
failure of justice in the San Francisco case,
however. is sure to pro luce evil conse-
quences. Every cowardly rufian in that
city will think it safe to beat women, and
we may be certain that this class of out
RACES will increase considerably in the near
future. In this city, on the other hand,
the brutal class will take warning from the
punishment of their friend, and will be
careful to avoid occurrences which bring
with them such disagreeable results as six
months on the chain-gang 1t is we think
to be regretted that woman. beating has not
been punished by some peculiarly shameful
penalty. Mere imprisonment does not
seem to do justice to the men who are
capable of such offenses as those we have
been considering.

HIS TORY REPEATING ITSELF.

The Nation has been exploring Budd-
hist archaeology, as illustrated in Fergus
sons "Tree and Serpent Worship" and
has discovered that the "stars and stripes"
in a somewhat modified form was fa-
vorite banner some centuries before the
present era, and that in its original aspect
it represented "the standard of Indra.
"the Lord of Heaven the stars denoting
"the universe over which he rules, and
" the combined crosses the eight divisions
"of space" And the Nation remarks
cit is certainly one of the very remarka-
"ble condolences which occur between
Buddhism and modern history, that such
ga flag should have been adopted by the
"Sons of the Sace, united as a republic
Gin India at this early period,
"as type of their combined
nationality and righteous government"
These Buddhist condolences have long
perplexed students, for many of them are
indeed such very close resemblances to
more modern things that it is difficult to
escape the suspicion of imitation. The
identification of certain ancient sculptures
in India has, however, completely settled
the point of the superior antiquity of
Buddhism to Christianity for the date of
these sculptures has been found to be an
terror to the Christian era-indeed they
were old at the beginning of that era-and
as they portray scenes in the life of Buddha
they really afford better and more con-
elusive evidence as to the relative age of
the two faiths than whole library OF
books could. That the Buddhists, and,
as seems probable, the pre.Buddhists,
should have employed flag very like
the stars and stripes as sacred banner,
is curious and interesting, even If it tends
to prove once more that there is nothing
new under the sun. 1t is, however, still
more curious thai the people who bore this
flag were republicans that they belonged
to union of provinces or cities; and that
they called themselved the United
Vsjjis." Buddha prophesied concerning
these people, and there is strange analogy
between his prediction and Washington's
Farewell Address. He tells them that so
long as they cling to freedom, reverence
their political institutions, eschew faction,
and maintain full liberty of speech, they
will prosper and not decline. Tne
United Vajjis have long ages ago been
extinguished, and though there are not
wanting indications that they were an en-
terprising and progressive people, they
have left no mark upon history that can
be clearly discerned to-day. Will some
new race, twenty or twenty-five centuries
hence, perhaps be specializing upon the
significance of the long extinct people who
once, as ancient history informs them, in
habited country called the " United
" States u? Or, which is by no means
impossible, will the scholars of those days
confound us with the still more distant
"Sons of Sace" who used to carry aloft
the stars and stripes in honor OF Indra ;
and will they conclude from the evidence
at hand that the American people were
all Buddhists, and direct descendants of
the ancient Scythians?

THE OHIO DEMOCRACY.

The Ohio Democracy has no very heavy
work before it this year, the highest officer
to be elected being Secretary of State. 1t
has, however, adopted platform, in which
the customary effort is made to carry water
on both shoulders. Thus, while denouncing
the Republicans for proposing to take
taxes off the rich, it advocates "a tariff
"levied to meet the actual needs of the
"country." 1t will be observed that this
does not mean the same thing as tariff
for revenue only. 1t can be altered to suit
circumstances. If little Protection is
called for, there you have it. If Free
Trade appears to be rising in popularity,
this plank can be interpreted to meet the
demand. 1t is the same with the currency
plank, and with all the others in regard to
which there is any opportunity for trim
ming. The Democracy evidently has lost
the nerve to formulate distinct issues, and it
can no longer be induced even to stand by
the principles which are the only ones it
ever deserved credit for maintaining. Re-
peated defeats and disappointments have
emasculated the party, and it is good for
little else than to afford refuge for the
stupid people, and to echo the policy of
the Republicans.

NEEDS EXPLANATION,

Why did the House, in Committee of
the Whole, reject Bayne's resolution ap-
propriating S25, 900 for the maintenance of
the Civil Service Commission Members
of the Republican party, at least, will be
called upon to explain this incomprehensi-
Bile vote. Of course those members know
that they are pledged, through their plat
form, to support Civil Service Reform !;
that their party is pledged to that issue !;
that they cannot escape from the obliga-
ton, Presumably they are aware that
public opinion in the country now demands
Civil Service Reform, and disapproves OF
the "machine." They are of course
aware that the rejection of this appropria.
ton ia a square slap in the face of the
party and the country in fact that it is
an act of positive treason to the party.
These Congressman have emphatically I'M
dertaken to break down and destroy
policy which their party has declared in
favor of. We trust that the constituents
of every one of them will make note Of
their conduct on this question, and will
bring them to an accounting. 1t is the
only way by which the devosees OF the
machine" can be made to understand
that they are not entirely independent of
public approval and criticism.

upon the press of the country long stories
of this kind. We express this hope be-
cause we are satisfied that the Tariff Com.
mission will not be of the slightest use to
anybody, and because we are opposed to
the encouragement of expectations which
are destined to come to nothing. The
Commission is not merely an imposition,
but an imposition which has been adver-
tised as such. 1t does not contain single
member whose opinions on the subject are
entitled to the slightest consideration, and
even if it did the fact that it was carefully
and openly packed in the interest of Pro-
lection would divest its proceedings of all
value and interest. We trust that it will
be permitted to discharge its functions
without any unnecessary notice.

ANOTHER CRUEL BLOW.

The law prohibiting the levying of polit-
ical assessments has been declared consti-
tutional by the Supreme Court of New
York, to the utter disgust of General Cur.
tbs, whose case was thus passed upon, and
of the Stalwarts generally. They declare
their intention to take the issue up to the
Supreme Court of the United States, and
we hope they will do 30, for we have not
the least doubt that the decision will be
the same there. Congressman Hubbell
and his Congressional Committee are find
ing it impossible to buster themselves out
of the assessment business. The Civil
Service Reform Association. led as it is by
some of the best minds in the country, and
financially responsible, is following the
matter up, and has declared its determine.
tion not to drop it until the true intent
and scope of the law has been authori-
tatively declared. Meantime the evidence
being brought forward to show that the
machine men have undertaken to ex.
tort money from widows, orphan children,
and old and decrepit men, even conde-
scending to blackmail feeble old laborers
receiving 81 % per day, is having very
prejudicial effect upon the country, and
losing friends to the champions of political
blackmail everywhere. As the Courts also
are against the Hubbellites, their lookout
is somewhat dismal. The penalty in the
case of General Curtis is a fine of S. 900,
and we suppose the Congressional Commit.
tee would like to levy political assessment
upon all the clerks and Government arti-
sans to meet it with.

The SAME DODGE.

When Hubbell was driven into corner
on the political assessment business, he had
recourse to the =" bloody shirt" Affecting
righteous indignation he turned upon Mr..
Curtis and the Civil Service Reform Asso.
citation, and declared that these assess
ments were required to fight fraud and
coercion at the South, and to prevent the
Ku-Klux and the ballot. box suffers from
carrying everything before them. He
therefore boldly declared his determination
to go on collecting money from the widows
and orphans and paralytic cripples in the
employ of the Government, in order to
prevent these outrages and to punish
"the criminals" When we read OF this
dodge of Hubbell we are reminded OF the
tricks of our own Democratic demagogues.
These latter, having neither character nor
credit, issues nor standing before the peo-
pie, and having further committed them
policy on the Sunday question. have
adopted Hubbells tactics, and raised the
bloody shirt !" in the shape of Anti.
Railroadism. They go about bowling that
they are the only reliable and genuine
anti-monopolists, and that all others are
impostors. They declare that they have
but one desire, and that is to reduce
freights and fares twenty per cent. And
all the time everybody knows perfectly
well that all they want ia office, and that
if they could get that they would trouble
themselves as little with anti.monopoly as
Mr.. Hubbell troubles himself abou. the
mythical Southern outrages. The fact is
that demagogues possess very little origi-
nality, and are always attempting the same
old devices everywhere.
