PleadID. Lucy.

One evening when Lucy papa had
come home from the Office and eaten his
supper he went into the parlor and planted
himself on the sofa. After he had been
there a little while ne noticed that Lucy
did not come in and make break at the
piano. as was her custom. This puzzled
the old gentleman greatly, but he was
very happy, because the parents OF girls
who play the piano usually feel like tax
ing an axe to that instrument. But pretty
soon Lucy entered the room and began
telling her papa how much be loved him
and how dark and cherries her life would
he in case he should be called above.
FMS sort of talk made her father feel
rather solemn, for he had been to the races
a good deal and would occasionally go out
with the toys, and when man gets on
the shady side of fifty he doesn't particu-
Iarly care 10 have people lug the ''sweet

pretty soon Lucy placed her. hlly-white
hand on her papa's brow and began to
smooth his hair saving how glad it would
n.ake her il she could only smooth the
furrows of care that time had placed
there. Then she artfully shifted the sub
lect, and spoke Of how cold the weather
was getting and what lovely sealskIu
saoues she had seen In the store windows
down town that afternoon.
Then her father saw what she was up

Here Is an old anecdote, very familiar
many years ago, and old enough TO be
new to many of this generation, which
was a regular THANKSGIVING night
standby. No gathering about the fire
ever separated without its being told,
Il ran something in this way; \ new
railway had been opened through
bleak and unsettled section of country,
and had been in operation Only short
time when heavy snow began falling
and soon completely blockaded the
road, stopping the train with its single
passenger car far from any place of
habltation. There wire a dozen trav-
elers, but as the prospect of relief within
a few hours was good they were taking
the unpleasant situation calmly Among
them was a tall, lank, lay-preacher,
whose countenance was chiefly remarka-
bic for preternaturally large mouth.
Soon after the train came to q standstul
he arose at the forward end of the car.
and with his biandest professional
smile began: "Now, brethren and SIS
ters, we've got to stay here shut up
together for an hour or two, SO let US
make the best OF it. l say brethren

with, we all believe there's nothing the
Lord couldn't do if he wanted to-we
all believe that. don't we?" At this
point a green-looking eountryman. who
had been Watching the smiling speaker
with close interest, startled him by say
ing: "Wall, now, dunno bout that.

the preacher with great delight. DO

Coming Oar.

Dr. Haughton. weli-known sage OF
Dublin, an enthusiastic lover of spimals
and keenly interested in biological mat
ters there, lately invited London Wit
to breakfast with him ut the Geological
Gardens in company with few kindred
spirits. As soon as the wit appeared
he was called ON for happy thought,
and promised that If one occurred to hIm
he would give it forth. DIR. Haughton
was speaking OF the difficulty of keep
ing up the funds of the society-six,
pence had been charged at the gates
and twopence, but it was hard to get
sufficient money in. ga happy thought
cried his guest, Throw open the doors
and let the peo. lie in gratis. Then close
the gates and open the other gates-the
doors of the beasts cages. Finally,
charge the people coming out!''

TwEEDLEDEE AND TwEEpLEpIp,

Our sanctum was visited yesterday by
DIR. BELL, acting city physician, who
called to make explanation of his position
on the smallpox question. He says that
he did not state on last Saturday afternoon.
as he was reported by the HERALD, that
this city is saturated by small-p poison"
lie says he is affected with throat
trouble that, perhaps, makes his enuncia-
ton indstinct, and that he said merely
that 1.-THE smallpox poison was lurking in
the city," and that he was misunderstood
by our reporter, who, however, in turn, is
equally positive in his own position He
informed us that there were only four cases
of the disease In the entire city, and, indeed.
one of these patients was now up and doing
well, and that no new cases during the week
had occurred. This corroborates exactly
the statement of the HERALD on this mat
ter. Surely then the disease nor its poison
could have been even lurking" in our
midst. One whole week has now transpired
since he announced that to the council
Had the disease uaiort unately spread, he
might have been able to adhere and poinl
with some pride to the correctness of hi.
representation or Nrial diagnosis, but a.
the disease has not added one single victim
to its list in all the time, there must hay,
been some error lurking" in that dag
nosis; but as it luckily happens tn,
weeks delay to respond is "sat
urated" with the fact that this pa
per announced the real condition o
the smallpox scare in Dallas. For tn,
rest, we take pleasure of our own motion in
saying that Dir. BELL deserves much credi
for the fearless manner in which he ha.
personally visited and faithfully nursed tn,
unhappy patients with their terrible dis
ease, in the discharge of his duty and at Tn,
risk of contracting it into his own system.

SO welded are we to the principles OF
free trade, that is to say, to tariff for reve-
nue. only, that is u pleasure to us as well as
a duty, we conceive, to publish any and
everything against protection. Therefore
we clip the following from the Memphis
Appeal: Minnesota is a great wheat-grow-
ing state, and the millers OF Minneapolis
have concocted measures for the farmer to
toll While they themselves pocket the
profits. The people there are indignant,
but while so-called protection" laws hold
the country bound and gagged to the mo-
nopolist, what can they expect? Free trade
Is essential to their prosperity"

lamentations in foreign lands even have
been waited to our shores by the passing
winds. No voice of sympathy for GUITEAu
the assassin, is sounded, and no bosom ol
pity is open on which the stricken sister
can recllne her head as she weeps and walls
| in her heart. GUITEAU may be an
assassin, red-handed murderer, a
cruel, insatiate demon to all else, and
the law and the multitude, may clamor for
his life, and Il pitiless fate may rear gibbet
black with iniamy as the altar of his expia-
ton, but TO the sister who remembers him
in his childhood, in his boyhood, when the
same mother caressed him and her and
iondled with them, and taught them to pray
at her knee and told them of the mercy OF
God and of His holy injunction, Glove thy
neighbor as thyselT'-to this sister he is still
a dear brother he is the mad, irresponsible
maniac his lawyers represented him
to be on his trial, that the judge evidently
believed him to be, when with streaming
eyes and choking voice he passed sentence
OF death upon him. Sorrow and grief are
seliis it is true, but wherein is it indeli.

heart-broken sister, bowed down in agony

a SISTERS AFFECTION.

We see from the papers that Mrs. SEQ.

letter to Mrs, GARFIELD, asking that lady
to intercede In behalf of her unfortunate
brother. Mus. GARFIELD did not answer the
letter. neither did she keep the confidence
of the woc.strickon sister, but ON the con.
trary, gave her letter to the public. The
New York Herald, commenting upon It.,
says "MRs. GARFIELD, according to our
dispatches from Cleveland, has expressed
