A ACompasstonate Politician.

: A politician, when he wants certain
place for one of his henchmen, is 10 more
reluctant to turn out its occupant than
Cooley Khan, of Bengal was to put
live cat in the breeches Of non paying ten
ant. Thers are, however, exceptions to all
rules, and the Autobiography of Thur.ow
Weed shows that he Was an exceptional
politician: In 1861. number of New York
merchants asked Mr.. Weed to secure con-
sular appointment for veteran clerk, who,
being an Englishman, wanted to go home
to end his days there. He says:
Mr.. Seward requested his son Frederick,
the assistant secretary, to find a place for
him. went to the department with Fred.
erick, and in looking over his consular reg
istel carefully, his eye 6nally rested on FaI-
mouth, where, upon examination, he found
that the consul was an Englishman, and
bad held the Office over twenty years.
It was decided, therefore that one English.
man should give place to another, that 9th
er being an An nericlnized Englishman.
I reported this determination to the Sec
retary, who Immediately sent my friends
name to the president, and " ben the mes
senger returned with Mr.. Llncoln's ap-
proval, Mr.. Hunter, the chief clerk, was
directed to fill up the commission and oh
tain the presidents signature in time for
me to take it to New York that afteah oon.
Between four and five O'Clock, p. H.,
went to Mr.. Hunter for the commission,
which lay before him on his desk. He rose
somewhat deliberately (as was bis manner),
took the conmi- sion in his hand and de-
livered it to me without speaking, but with
evident reluctance.
1 said, "Is i: all right, Mr.. Hunter" He
replied
IT have obeved orders.''
"But," I added. ''you do not seem
pleased. Is there anything wrong about
The appointment"
81 have nothing to do about the appoint
ment. but have never discharged duty
since came into the department with SO
much regret" He said:
"The first commission that filled ort
when came into this Office, twenty.six
years ago, was for efr. Fox, our consul at
Falmouth, who succeeded his then recent
ly deceased father, who received his app oint-
ment from President Washington.
ihe consular counts of Mr.. Fox are as
neatly and AZ curately kept as those of Gen.
Washington 5urisg the revolution. Think
he Is the best consul in the service of the
government. You will judge, therefore,
whether the removal of such a consul is not
calculated to occasion regret.',
When he finished, while he stood look
ing at me with the pen in his land, delib.
prately tore tho commission into strips,
threw them into the waste e-paLer basket, and
lett the department for tho cars.
When I explained in New York what had
occurred at Washington, it was approved.
not only by the gentleman WHO had asked
me to interest myself, but by the applicant
himself.

Come and Get a Home.

There is more import in the word
I" come" than one might at once dis
cover in a casual consideration of the
term. In the new testament script.
ures, the graEdest system of moral
ethics that has ever been produced,
the word always calls to a better, Il
higher state of condition. The idea
coupled with it is elevation either
spiritually. intellectually or physic lilly
as, for example: ''Come unto me, all
ye that labor and i heavy laden.
and l will give you rest" ''The
spirit and the bride say come"
Come. We blessed OF my Father. in.
herit the kingdom prepared for you.'
etc. All pointing to a better and
higher condition.
Temporarily, we say to the young
nan i'll the east who is upon the point
of branching out upon the world as
the architect Of his own fortune,
come to Dakota, where you may rear

Come where health is the boon Of Ill
and where wealth /, within re.lch OF
