Identified by a Broken Toe.

NOostOA
There came to Boston last week a gentle
man from California who was paying his
native State of Massachusetts a visit after
an absence of over thirty-four years. He
was one of those who, in 1s49, went out to
the land of gold to seek his fortune He was
only nineteen years of age at the time of his
departure, and, like many other youngsters
VINO have gone out into the world, soon got
weaned OF home longings. His folks, after
q time ceased to get tldings from him, and
for the past twenty years he had been thought
to be dead by his relatives. He came to
Boston, as stated, and sought out his rela-
tives, and found some of them: but none of
them recognized in the man of ~fifty-three
years the youth of nineteen who left home
so many years ago. Among others who
were not quite satisfied with his identity
was an aunt who lived in the Highlands.
When he went to see her, and stated who he
was, she said: 81 do not recognize you, sir;
but, If you are the one you claim to be, you
can tell me the date of your birth and where
you were born" These he gave to her cor
rectly, but still she had a doubt. sIf you
are,' she said, "my nephew, l think you
have mark on you that will convince me
of your identity. When he was a boy, he
broke one of the toes of Lis right foot. / re-
member distinctly how it looked, and which
toe 1t was. If you can show me that broken
toe, will believe you are my nephew"
The gentleman at once pulled off the boot
and stocking from his right foot and there,
sure enough, was the identical broken toe.
1t is needless to say that the broken toe
cleared mp all doubt.

Personal.

The Argus of yesterday mernlng, after
quoting portion of what we had said the
doy before touching a recent utterance In
its editorial column which transcribed the
bounds of journalistic propriety and COM
mon decency in discussion, contained the
following in relation to the personal aspect
Of the matter.
Upon this statement it gives us pleasure to repair
the moral injustice which we did to our esteemed
neighbor. Our idea was-and still is, with very few
excepted-that no intelligent man could believe
that was true statement in regard to Southern
Democrats. Our neighbor protests that he believes
It. We cheerfully accept his explanation, and rem
der the nerited need Of justice to his sincerity;
without, however, having our belief in the utter
falsty Of the statement shaken in the least. We
thus fully vndicate our neighbours sincerity; but
as It seems to US, rather at the expense of his judy
ment.
We are not SO unreasonable as to expect a
political opponent to agree with us in judy
ment, or political friend either,in all cases.
All Journalist,or anybody else who discuss
es pubic affairs, has right to expect is that
be shall have credit for an honorable mo-
tive until he forfeits it. We have our own
opinion about the intelligence and Judgment
of the editor of the Argus as shown in what
he suffers to appear in the editorial columns
Of his paper, but we hope to be able to state
our opinion, whenever necessary, without
transgressing the reasonable prophecies of
discussion. In parliamentary debate it is
commonly considered an evidence Of poverty
Of intellectual resources, and of conscious
mesa of being in the wrong, when disputant
valsarly asssils the personal integrity Of an
opponent If this ID sound nsxim in lis APP
piisstion to the excitement Of heated debate
when invsetive stabs like dirk, satire whips
Ike lash, and the contestants, with pass.

ILLUSTRATED GIFT BOOKS.

Among the beautiful gift-bocks of this season is
an illustrated edition of Jean Ingelow's famous
Bag lad, 1.-THE High Tide on the Coast of Lincoln
SHIRE 1871" 1t has forty designs by Church, Rog-
ers, Fem and others, engraved by Andrews. The
volume has very interesting al pendix containing
many facts connected with the ballad It also gives
the origin of the name of Boston in Lincolnshre.
from which Boston in Massachusetts took its name.
In the first place it was called after St. Botolpb IA
pious monk who founded church then) Botelph's
Town. This was contracted into Bot-olphston Bot
oston and finally Boston. In this old town was
Jean Ingelow born, and the appendix contains pic
lures of her home. Skirbec church, and the old
Vickerage, where the Rev. John Cotton Smith lived
whilst he was vicar, before he fed to Boston New
England. 1t is a curious commentary that Puritan
Boston Is named after papist monk.
In Estes Lauriats very attractive holiday list il
lovely brochure, consisting of selections from
Bayard Taylors translation of Faust illustrated by
A. Leigen Meyer, and Ad Lalanze, between illumi
mated and fringed covers This is not only dainty
and tasteful affair." but it has true artistic value
from the excellence and beauty of its illustrations
as well as the charm of its verses.
Ibe same house delights the young people with
two illustrated volumes which are both instruct-
i've and entertaining. One is Mrs. Lizzie W. Champ
ney's "Three Vassar Girls in England" illustrated
by Champ" and other distinguished artists 1t is
the history of holiday excursion of three college
girls in the mother country with visits to historic
scenes and notable places, and there are maps by
which one can follow them their course in the
yacht Coal Scuttle." The book is bright and chat
ty, and one swallows great deal of history in the
very pleasant guise of romance.
Mrs. Cheney's "Young Folks History of the Civil
War;" is more serious work. being thrilling and
vivid narrative of the prominent events of the late
struggle; and the illustrations are a history in
themselves. The volume is written especially for
boys, but it will equally interest young and old of
both sexes.

Seven years have elapsed since the coun-
try was brought to the verge of civil war "
a dispute over the manner of counting the
electoral vote, yet nothing whatever has
been done to prevent recurrence of the
danger which the country then so happily
escaped, whenever close Presidential vote
shall expose the rival political parties to
temptation. Congress has been appealed to.
year after year, by the chief magistrates to
definitely settle by law the manner of decid-
ing all disputes which may arise In the
count, and Senators and Representatives
have introduced measures designed to ac-
complish this end, but always in vain. Next
year Presidential election occurs, and IL is
among the probabilities that the result NAV
be decided by a very few electoral votes.
The temptation which nearly proved our
ruin in 1875 may be present again IN 1884.
The present Congress ought, therefore. to
look upon the passage of some law in regard
to the counting of the electoral vote as the
most imperative duty it has to perform.

Congressman Dingey's careful study of
the needs of our shipping interest has borne
fruit in tbs shape of three bills In addition
to the one introduced in the last Congress. a
synopsis of which have been given in our
telegraph columns. 1t is safe to say that
all these bills have the hearty support of the
commercial community, and that their pas
sage will, to very great extent, relieve our
shipping from the incubus which for years
has been resting upon it. Congress ought
to take them up and act upon them as quick
ly as possible. The decay of our merchant
marine has been matter of much humilia-
ton to this country and of surprise to others.
Various causes have contributed to it, but the
most of them are remediable by legislation.
With foreign materials used in the construc.
tion of ships admitted free of duty, with
taxation reduced and with relief from the
present onerous laws in relation to seamen
and pilots, a large portion of the carving
trade can be brought back to American
built ships.

ions tormenting them like furies, stand face
to face, 1t is much more applicable to the
controversies of Journalists who write with
deliberation and in comparative calm.
The Argus having retracted its offensive
imputation demands that we should give the
name of the person who informed us that
the editor of the Argus had no scruples
about publishing what he knew to be false.
Upon reflection the editor of the Argus will
perceive that he has no reasonable ground to
make such demand. We have not lndica-
TED that we gave any credit 10 the state
ment. On the contrary we mentioned that
we had been so informed to put in stronger
light the circumstance that in our controver-
sizes with the Argus we had proceeded on
the presumption that the information was
not just to its editor. In quoting what we
said, the Argus stopped in the middle of
sentence-not, of course, with any purpose
to conceal from its readers the circumstance
that we explicitly disclaimed adopting that
opinion as the basis of our relations. al
though 1t has that appearance. This

We have been informed that the editor of
the Argus processes no scruples onerthat

fairly what followed. The whole sentence
was this, 'sWe have been informed that the
editor of the Argus processes no scruples on
that score: but ace haze chosen heretofore
in every discussion to treat thqt journal

'If the editor of the Argus is a gentleman,
as zoe haze been aoilling to presume, he will
withdraw the remark made.' This he has
done,as we expected he would; and certain
ly he must recognize the improperly of re-
quiring us to make public the names CT per-
sons who have discredited him in our hear
ing, in view of the fact that we have not
treated him, either personally or in our re-
lations as journalists, in any way indicating
that we considered the unfayorable judy
ment as well founded; but, instead, have
treated him precisely as if we believed it

There is prospect of lively war be-

has recently issued an order forbidding them
iongerto use the streets for their services,

obey the order, but will go to Jail in prefer

The election of General A. P. Martin, the
Citizens candidate, instead of Alderman
O'Brien, the Democratic candidate, for
Mayor in Boston yesterday, was signal and
almost unexpected triumph, and "a fit
sequence of the good work done 10 the
State election five weeks ago. Then Gener-
al Butler carried the city by several thousand
votes; but Mayor Palmer knew that he could
not stand against the popular indignation
at his inefficient and corrupt partisan admin
istration. He was forced to decline and
another DemocIat, not better, but less re
sponsible for the disgraceful misrule of the
past year was nominated in his stead. 1t
was of no use. The people who pay
the taxes had resolved that this orgy of
city government for party spoils must end
and they have ended it. Democratic admin
istration in Boston, like Democratic admin
istration almost everywhere, is a scandal
which the people are glad to get rid of after
brief trial. 1t is much better no. to buy
experience at so high price.
