CORONER CAMPBELL, of Passaic, N. j., had a
little experience the other day which must have
caused him to wish that Tewksbury had never
been investigated. He was called into the
country at an early hour to view the remains of
an aged negro who had been found drowned.
With the body in his wagon he started for the
city, but rnmor having gained currency among
the colored population that the old mans skin
was to be removed for tanning purposes the in
nocent coroner found himself pursued by an ex-
cited mob intent on rescuing the corpse. For
four miles the race was kept up, with an accom-
paninent of hideous yells on the part of the pur-
suers that brought terror TO the officerss heart.
Having the fastest horses he reached the city
first, the deceased colored individual being
somewhat banged about during transit, how
ever. The coroner would like a small piece of
Governor Buffers cuticle a memento of this
exciting ride.

rapid type-setter will make from 10 to so
per cent. more than one less dexterous.
There are some editorial writers who make
twice as much as others who work equally
as hard. The reason generally is that their
productions are worth more. The same
variance is to be found in the prac-
tice of law, where no fixed
rate of wages is paid. A few lawyers
realize from their practice as much as $40, 900,
$4,000, and even $50, 900 or 100000 per an
mum. Others make as much as 81, 900 or
$4,000, while very many are obliged to live
on much less than 81, 600 Preachers and
physicians are subject to the same rule. A
man is valuable in any profession or voca-
tion according to his abilities and opportu-
mites. 1t is true that vast and wealthy
corporation like the Western Union Tele-
graph Company exercises wonderful power
oyer its employees. AS individuals they are
at its mercy The loss of q man or a dozen
men from its thousands is a matter
of little moment. Backed by mill
ions of wealth it is independent
of everything but an almost universal strike
among its employees, and even then is better
able to tide over temporary suspension of
business than are they. To the average oper-
ator the loss CT O weeks or months pay
means deprivation, if not actual distress,
while to the company that employs him it
means but little less profit on the years
business, but not enough to make any mate
rial difference. 1t is apparent enough that
these moDeyed corporations should be held in
check by strict statutory enactments. There
is no danger that they will not be able to
protect every natural or conferred
right. 1t is only to be apprehended
that they may be tempted to Cypress, in or
der to increase their power and their gains.
There is little sympathy between accumu-
lated wealth and the elements of labor, as
represented in so many workingmen. The
laws must slip in between the two, to restrain
the one and to defend the other. The State
and the federal government should be slow
to confer special privileges to corporations,
and should always reserve the right
to exercise control in behalf of
the public. No government can
afford to place the vital interests of the peo-
pie exclusively in the hands of the few to
exercise arbitrary or extra judicial control.
This fact must be acknowledged by the great
telegraph companies of America They are
powerful in the possession of vast wealth.
but if they presume too far, the voters of
America will strip them of every vestige of
their power, and teach them a lesson that
will never be forgotten. And this is true as
to all corporations. The rising power of the
future is that of opposition to monopoly
and monopolies will be penny wise and
pound foolish if they do not heed the fact.

Alex. Stephens Ability to Swear.

When Mr.. Stephens first came
back to Washington he had it adver-
tised to the world that he was seek
ing an easy invalid chair, and the re-
suit was he was overrun with inven-
tors and their models. I was in Mr..
Stephens room one morning when q
red-faced man came in and said he
had a chair which he knew would
suit Mr.. Stephens. The latter bow
ed with great courtesy, and asked
him to bring in the chair. Mr..
Stephens looked as pleased as a
young child who is about to be hand
I'd a new toy. The chair was Wheel
ed in, his W servants lifted him
into it, and then the trial began. Mr..
Stephens whirled to the right with
it, then as suddenly to the left. In
doing this he gave his frail body a
wrench. The pain threw him into a
frightful rage. His high, piping
tones were a perfect squeal as be
shrieked: take me out OF the -
thing and smash it oyer the head of
the - man that brought it here"
Swearing and groaning he was lifted |
from the chair. While Mr.. Stephens
was in the arms of his negro servant
he suddenly stopped swearing. He
thought for the first time of the poor
WHO was still IN the room.
Turning toward him, Mr.. Stephens
said, with a gracious wave Of the
hand: l crave your pardon, kind
sir, for the childish petulance of a
miserable invalid. I thank you sim
for your kindness in coming
here with this chair, and regret that

And filed the air with dulcet strain,
With n voice san this refrain:

But no, I'll lave to let her stand

Above her washtub's sulIen roar.
