The people of free countries ought to
be particularly considerate Of the repn
tation of public men who are faithful t"
their trusts. Such men are the peoples
servants, whom they have chosen, ami
who are doing their work. II these men
60 astray or prove incompetent, the dis
honor rests upon those who chose them,
and it is certain that the eople must
defray the cost of their misdeeds.
In private life man is not respected
who abuses his clerks, aud has no regard
for their regulations or their characters
We say that he is scurvy fellow; that
he lacks some of the qualities that are
essential in good business man. We
are not surprised when his clerks prove
,nfaithful, or he proves unsuccessful,
through poor judgment in his business
undertakings.
The same principle, in g degree, ap-
Plies to public men. We who selected
them, who pay them, who are response
BILE for them, are bound to give them the
fairest chance to do well. We are fool
ish if we do not. We are like man who
should pay large sum for horse, and
then give him unhealthy food, or lame
his fore feet.
Next to the man who ill-treats wom-
an, we despise the American citizen who
treats a public map With persona. dis
respect, for mere party reasons. Why
do we so universally abhor man who
abuses a woman Because q nan is
physically stronger than a woman, and,
ordinarily, she cannot defend herself
No more can President, or Cabinet
Minister, or most public officials. Ell
auette commonly closes their mouths
against the most brutal esiumny. .Hheg
stand as public targets, open to the shot
of every passer-by who has malice in his
heart.
Mind, we are now speaking of per-
sonal abuse only. Let there be the
frankest and strongest criticism OF pub
lie men as public men. If their meas
ures are unwise or ill-timed, let the fact
be stated gith oil neelfHl emphasis and
iteration. # there is good reason for
thinking them corrupt their conduct
should be probed and investigated, But
while Q public man is apparently tEyins
conscientiously to do his duty every good
citizen should regard an abusive person
81 attack upon him as an offense against
himself,
Upon this point We will relate two
small anecdotes. We noticed a while
ago upon a friends table, in distant
city. copy Of the weekly edition Of the
London Times. Seeing our look of Gu
riosity, he said;
sFes, | take the Times. I prefer to
get my news now by way of London. I
can afford to take only one newspaper,
and in this one have my news without
any personalities
Our other incident also occurred in a
Western city. A gentleman retired from
business was asked to become a candi-
date for election to Congress, His reply,
in substance, was this u. ...
"You know how our public men are
abused, and why they are abused. Now,

Complaints are numerous Of depreda-

weeks several very valuable focks have
been frightfully decimated, and in one
particular case practically annihilated
by rowing packs of NANCY ours, whose
presence in any farming community is
positive curse. Flock-masters have, in
several localities, been compelled to
take the law in their own hands, and,
by means of the shotgun policy, exter-
minste the pests. This dog nuisance is
one which should receive attention at the
hands Of Legislators. vino should provide
means for the protection of sheep-raisers
against the attacks Of dogs owned by
neighbors, who, in many cases, seem to
forget the damage which their worthless
dogs can do. Some men, who will claim
that they cannot afford to keep stock Of
any description, win insist upon feeding

ed in sheep, and who pass many sleep
less nights on account of the near pres
ence of these ours. Stringent, laws
should be enacted in all sheep-raising
districts in the interest of fock-masters,
and their rigid enforcement ought to be
considered in the light of duty on the
part of the authorities. Illinois now has
special Legislative enactments for the
protection Of cattle, and the dog laws,
especially in regard to loss to fiocks,
should be enforced, -Cbicago tribune.

In truth the first man in France
had almost forgotten Gabriel; but
he had the rare tact of feeling his
way with soldiers, and appearing
to remember more than he really
did.
Gabriel's face lighted up with
pride and joy, as he stammered:
"Yes, sire. Oh, sire, l thought
your majesty had forgotten me-"
The emperor smiled his rare gra-
cious smile, for which so many men
were ready to go joyfully to death.
"Comrade," he said, 81 never

his duty. So you are in the Black
Cuirassiers? But you are not a

scanned the recruit from head to
foot.
"From Alsace? You speak Ger

"Yes, SIRE"

Gabriel Lenoir flushed deeply.

The emperor looked at him in
the same thoughtful, absent way
he had shown all through the inter
view.
Eyes, yes, L see. Tell me. Did
not l say something to you at Mar
engo ?'
He knew he must have done so;
for he always complimented acts of
valor. ...
Gabriel looked happy and modest
as he stammered out |:
"Yes, sire. / remember every
word as well as if you were saying
it now. You said: You have
begun well, young man. / never
forget brave soldiers. Remind me
when we meet that 1 owe you a
chance to win an epaulette.
AS the boy finished he almost
gasped for breath. 1t seemed to
him so absurdly audacious that he
should be speaking so freely to the
emperor.
But the little man in the green
and white coat smiled on him still,
more kindly than ever, and replied:
Every good. 1t is time l kept
my word. Can you write well ?"
"Yes, SIRE"
"Write me down your name,
number and squadron, and as soon
as you come off guard, tell your
sergeant that l wish to see you in
my cabinet. Stay. The guard will
not pass you, so take this, and say
that L ordered you to bring it to
me-"
As he spoke he took from his
pocket small silver snuffbox, rich
ly cased, and added with his sweet
smile:
"It will keep us both in mind of
each other. Au reUOir."
He waved his hand and walked
off toward the outlines of the great
palace, just visible above the trees.

The Memphis Scimitar in speak
ing of the recent gambling act says
you can't legislate away mems pas
sions. That is very true, but strin-
gent statutes have very whole
some effect towards aiding men to
govern their passions. Murder is
the result of a very bad passion but
our contemporary, which is so near
akin to a prosecuting attorney, will
hardly urge that there should be no
prohibitory legislation for that
crime. To our mind there has
always been a strange want of con-
sistency in making petit larceny a
felony while faro banks, three card
monte and such like roguish devi-
ces, were only misdemeanors, and
virtually licensed by the occasional
payment of a fine. The gambling
act is one of the best laws on our
statute books, and if it is not strictly
enforced the fault will be with cul-
pable officials and not from any
inherent impracticability in the
law.

A Washington dispatch to the
Cincinnati News of Saturday, says
that Sam Randall claims the sup
port of the entire Tennessee delega-
ton and that there is a combination
between him and Atkins, who is
candidate for chief clerk. The
News, in commenting on this dis
patch, is inclined to believe there is
some ground for the statement. 1t
says that all of the Tennessee dele
CATION are new in politics except
Dibrell and Mcmillan. We beg
leave to correct this statement.
Casey Young, of the Tenth district,
is not "new in politics" and he is
not credited with being overly fond
of Randall; he could never catch
his eye, you know. Everybody in
Tennessee would be glad to see
Atkins elected chief clerk, but we
don't believe that our congressman
will be guilty of bargain and in
trigue with Sam Randall, for that
purpose.

not know that their dignity forbade
them to quarrel in public, and he

words by the bugle sounding
"Guard turn out,". when he was
sent on post before the Pavilion of
Diana.
The Pavilion of Diana was sacred
to the emperor, empress, and the
attendants that were with them,

up his walk while the relief clanked

THE DRUEKARS DAUGHTER.

Out in the street with naked feet
/ saw the sad-fsced drunkard's $ daughter.
Her tattered shawl was thin and small;
She little knew, for no one taught her.
Her skin was fair; her golden hair
Was blown around about her forehead,
Her pale, sweet face wore hungerS trace,
And want and woe that were not bor-
rowed.
Heart-oroken child she seldom smiled!
Hope promised her no bright tomorrow
Or, if its light flashed on the night,
It was eclipsed with clouds OF sorrow.
She softly said, "We have no bread,
No wood to keep the fire a-burning;"
The child was ill the wind was chill;
Her thin, cold blood to ice was turning!
But men well fed scorned what she said;
And women robed in richest fashion
Passed on the other side, where no one cried
To them in sorrow for compassion.
Slowly the night fed and the light
OF morning came in beauty shining;
When dome and spire, and roof on flre
Reflect the heavens golden lining.
Asleep, alone, and cold as stone,
Where no kind parent sought her,
In winding-sheet of snow and sleet,
Was found the drunkard's pallid daugh-

See the frog, the Shiny, green frog.
Doing away on that old rotten log;
Seriously wondering
What caused the sundering
OF the tail that he wore when wee pollywog.
See the boy, the freckled schoolboy,
Famed for eussedness free from alloy,
Watching the frog
Perched on the log
With feeling akin to tumultuous joy.
See the rock, the hard, finty rock,
Which the faced boy at the frog doth socl
Conscious he's SHINING,
Yet glsefully grinning
At the likely result of its terrible shock.
See the grass, the treacherUus grass,
Slip from beneath his feet! Alas
Into the mud
With a dull thud
He falls, and rises Shiny mass.
Now, see the frog the hilarious frog
Dancing jig on his old rotten log,
Applying his toes
To his broad, blunt nose,
As he laughs at the boy stuck fast in the bog.
Look at the switch, the hickory switch.
Waiting to make that schOol-boy twitch.
When his mother knows
The state of his clothes
Won't he raise his voice to its highest pitch?
