When Sir John Lawrence was gov
ernor-general of India hewas told one
day of little girl who had been taken
i'll, and was pining away with grief at
the loss of a very curious pet. The
pet was tame ostrich, which the child
had raised from the egg. left by the
ostrich mother in the grass of the park
at Barrackpore.
The little girls father was the keep
er of the park, and soon after her dis
covery of the egg he died and his sue
cessOr was appointed.
Fearing that foxes or jackals would
eat her treasure or that the cold dews
would destroy it, the little girl carried
the big egg to the bungalow, and buried
it safely in lidless box filled with dry
white sand. This she took pains to
set out in the sun every day just where
the fiercest rays would pour on it. At
night she coaxed motherly hen. whose
own eggs she transferred elsewhere, to
brood over the box.
By-and-by to the great fright of
the poor hen, giant chick broke the
shell, and stepped into view, The hen
ruffied her feathers, spread her wings,
and fled.
The little girl and the ostrich became
fast friends, and one was never seen
without the other. What, then, was
her dismay when the park keeper took
it into his head that the ostrich was
public property, and must 60 to the
government aviary!
The child was SO distressed at the
removal of her pet that her mother
feared she would die. But the mill
tary surgeon who came to see her
thought he knew of something better
for her than medicine, and he wrote a
letter to Sir John Lawrence telling
Vim all about it.
The viceroy was very great man,
and had pressing affairs of state to at
tend to. for millions of people looked
to him as their ruler. But he had
very tender heart, and far away in
England he had little girls of his own;
SO he wrote reply by the return mail,
that the ostrich was at once to be
given to its rightful owner, who lost
no time in getting well.
Does anybody ask, How can Aunt
Marjorie make bit of advice out of
this little incident?" Well, you know
we wrap pills up in sugar; and so we
tell stories, and hide lessons within
them
A brave heart is always a tender
heart, children. No matter how busy
you are, you may, like Sir John Law
renee, take time to do kind act for
some one who is weaker than yourself.

Insisting on n Public Right.

The United States attorney in western
Pennsylvania alleges, in a suit against the
Pittsburg and Lake Erie Railroad company,
that the bridge of the company across the
Ohio river is built in u manner different from
that required by law and by its own obliga-
tions at the time of construction. He asks
the United States district court to compel the
company to obey the law and fulfill its agree
ment. The telegram announcing the COM
mencemcnt of proceedings contains conclud-
ing sentence giving what may be presumed to
be the railroad companys protest, viz: that If
it is required to do what II was bound to have
done in the first place, both by law and by its
contract, sit will cause n remodeling of the
bridge at cost of 100000, besides long in
terruption of traffic" What if it does? Is
that to bo tho answer of law-dcfying and
promise breaking COrpOrations2 We know
sumo the truth of the complaint; but we do
most heartily dcnounco the frivolous and
inconscquential comment upon it above
quoted. What can be moro insolent
than for few men to obtain
public permission to use a public franchise,
under certain positive conditions, generally
proposed by themselves as an inducement to
the grant they seek, and then to utterly ig-
more the public's rights and consult only their
own profit and convenience in the manner Of
using the privilege. In all such cases tho law
should deal unsparingly and compel the of
fender to mako complete amends, at whatever
cost. To allow him to retain the franchise at
all is great stretch of clcmency.

What shall be done with the treasure trove
near the city of Cleveland is agitnting the
editorial and mercantile minds Of that me-
tropolis. During tho past week articles Of
great value have been tossed upon the waves
of the swollen Cuyahoga and out into the
great lake. Thousands of oil barrels and
millions of feet of lumber, beside other stores
of worth, have been borne away from their
owners by the rushing waters. Wreckcrs
have lined the shores and beaches, who have
busted themselves in the work of salvage for
their own profit. Flotsam and jetsam are
unknown torms to these industrious seal
lawags. Salvage laws they have neither
knowledge of nor respect for. Bent only upon
plundor, they are soi2ing and appropriating
all goods upon which they can lay hold.
Little do they caro- whose may bo the loss or
how much suffering may result to the owners
of the floating wealth. Their greed of gain
must be satiated. Stories of seizure come
which read like fiction. Everything
has been converted into money by the
wreckers as fast as possible, and they have
been defiant of law and equity. They are
now, however, under the control and have n
wholesome dread of special officers who are
watching for and taking charge of the goods
which come ashore. Others are searching for
the property which has been hidden or dis
posed of, and wherever found it will be taken
and restored to the rightful owners.
From the condition of affairs above enumer-
ated it will be seen that there is q great
| deal of lawlessness in the flooded dis
trcts. There should be no hesitancy or
lenicncy in applying all the legal forces
of the state to punish the guilty and
protect tho sufferers. Ohio has strong, clear,
sensible, and stringent salvage laws, which
are. adequate to meet the emergency and
they should be enforced. If the proper course
is pursued toward the offenders at Cleveland
the result will be beneficial wherever the
floods have come.

it is question whether, with clear working
majority in the house, the republicans can

Senator Lamar and the Tariff.

Tho country expected the best speech from
Mr.. Lamar on the "revenue only" side of the
tariff debate, because he is the ablest debater
on the democratic side. But if the senator
and his friends prevent tariff revision will
they take notice of fthe'fact that for two years
from the fourth of March the democratic
party will be responsible to the country for
the origination of all revenue bills, and that
the President may not leave the business of
the country trembling with Ignorance of demo-
cratic designs from March till December? The
bold minority sometimes loses confidence in
its wisdom when re-cnforcements make it n
majority. Even Mr.. Lamar may shrink from
advising the next democratic house four weeks
from now to pass n bill embodying the views
he now so earnestly and honestly advocates.
What uniform rate will produce the required
revenue and no more? What of tho informal
revenue system? What shall be done with

Progressive spain.

While tho rest of Europe is in a state of
agitation, and each of the great powers has
domestic troubles of grave import on its
hands, Spain has been quietly progressing to-
ward peace and prosperity with rapid strides.
At the meeting of the Spanish chambers early
in the winter King Alfonso, in his speech
expressed the hope in view of the happy era
now dawning upon Spain, that she would
soon recover her place in the front rank
of European countries, Beyond a small
disturbance in some of the outlying provinces
a few months ago Spain has been absolutely
tranquil. For the first time in many years
her income has exceeded the budget esti-
mated for the next twelve months,
Her revenue receipts for tho month
Of January exceeded those of the same
month last year by over 100000. 1t
has been said that the Spanish cortes of
late years has become the model deliherative
assembly of the world. All shades of opin-
ion are tolerated, and among the members is
