ONE KIND OF BOY.

irrigated and pack up his clothes in Tho
heat of debate and leave the home-nest
His future is little doubtful, and it i,
hard to prognosticate whether he will
fracture limestone for the streets Of d
great city or become President of the
United States; but there is beautiful
and luminous life ahead of him in com.
parison with that of the boy who oh.
stinatly refuses to leave the home-ncst.
The boy who cannot summon the
moral courage some day to uncoil the
tendrils of his heart from the clustering
idols of the household to grapple with
outrageous fortune ought to be taken
by the ear and led away out in the great
untried realm of space.
While the great world throbs on, he
signs and refuses TO throb. While other
young men put on their soal-brown over
alls and wrench the laurel wreath and
other vegetables from cruel fate, the youth
who bangles near the old nest, and eats
the hard-earned groceries of his father,
shivers on the brink of lifc's great cur
rent and sheds the scalding tears.
He is the young-man-afraid-of-the-sa
buck, the human being with the uulaun-
dried spinal column. The only vital
question that may be said to agitate his
pseudo brain is whether no shall marry
and tear loose from his parents to live
with his father-in-law, Finally he set
ties it and compromises by living alter
natcly with each.
How the old folks yearn TO sec him .
How their aged eyes light up when he
comes with his growing family to devour
everything in sight and yawn through
the space between meals. This is the
hey-day of his life; the high noon OF
the boy who never ventured to ride the
yearling colt, or to be yanked through
the shimmeriDg sunlight at the tail of a
two year-old. IIe never dared to have
any fun, because he might bump his
nose and make it bleed on his clean
clothes. He never surreptitiously cut
the copper wire of the lightning rod to
snare suckers with, and he never went
in swimming, because the great, rude
boys might duck him or paint him with
mud. He Stunned tho green apple of
boyhOod, and did not slide down hill,
because he would have to pull his sled
back to the top again.
Now he borrows other peoples news
papers, eats the provisions Of others,
and sits on the counter of the grocery
till the proprietor calls him counter
irritant.
There can be nothing more un-Amer-
lean than this habby polp, this one-horse
tadpole that never becomes a frog. The
average American would rather burst
up in business six times in four years,
and settle for 0 cents on the dollar
than to lead such life. He would
rather DO an active bankrupt than weak
and bilious barnaclc on the clam shell
of home.
The true American would rather work
himself into luxury or the lunatic asylum
than to hang like a great wart upon the
face of nature. This young man is not
in accordance with the Yankee schedule,
and vet do not want to say that he be-
longs to any other mutton Foreign pow.

Walsh Against Brady.
STAR ROUTE CASE IN NRw YoRK-suIT ON BRADYs
NEW YORK, Oct. s-One OF the star route cases
was up to-day In the supreme court before Judge
barrett It was an action brought by John A.
Walsh against Thomas j. Brady, OF star route
fame The matter came up on motion to vacate
an ORDER which had been granted for the examina-
ton OF Brady before trial Charles p Reed ap-
peareO, with Judge Wilson, OF Washington, in sup
port OF the motion. and Z. II. Grandin opposed It.
The suit was based upon claim OF about $40
that there was no necessity for the examination of
Brady that Walsh had testified fully and in detail
concerning the alleged cause OF action and the al
legged existence OF certain notes in the star route
trial in Washington and hence he was perfectly
aware whether or not he had a cause of action
The claim is alleged to be upon certain notes made
by Gen. Brady. In opposition 1t was stated that
Mr.: Walsh was not aware OF the contents OF these
notes, and that the knowledge OF their contents
necessary and material to enable him to frame his
In answer to the court Mr.. Grandin said that
these notes were executed and endorsed by Gen.
Brady and That his client was deprived of them by
force and fraud Mr.. Walsh now sought to ex-
anime Gen. Brady as to the contents or these
papers before trial. so that the examination may be
used When the case Is brought to trial
JUDGE BARRETTs DECISION.
Judge Barrett after examining the papers decided
that the order would have to be vacated because
the affidavit did not state that the plaintiff needed
to see the notes. neither did it show that the evil
uenSs VI braay was material and necessary to
enable walsh to frame his complaint He there
fore vacated the order.
In connection with this suit an order had also
Deen oOtalned TO examine Senator W. P. Kellogg as
witness, so that his deposition could be used upon
the trial. ~
Senator Kellogg says in his AFFIDAVIT that
walsh was active in procuring his in
dictment against him, charging him with
having received compensation from j. B.
Price While he was o. S. Senator. He states that
the order for his examination here was not
obtained in good faith, but was intended to preju-
dice him in his trial on the indictments. Counsel
commended that there was nothing In the afidavits
of the other side to show what the object of the
examination was and no complaint had been filed
Judge Barrett, after looking through the papers,
also.

Reply to DezendOrf's Charges.
THE. DEFENSE OF CON- MAYO AND NAVAL CON-
sTRUCT0R VARNEY-COAMENTS OF SECRETARY
CHANDLER.
Secretary Chandler has made public the defense
OF Commodore Mayo and Naval Constructor Var
ney against the charges OF Mr.. Dezendorf. Com
modore Mayo cOntradcts the ex-Congressman
point blank on most OF his allegations saying that
he did not grant leave of absence to employees ex-
cept as directed by Secretaries OF the Navy, and
needed.
Constructor yarney gees more into detail he
deMeS that he permitted false muster for political
purposes, made appointments to please Malone,
made political speeches at rocall or increased the
force before election Mr. Varney explains the
large sums spent on repairs for the Ptnta by the
statement that they were begun before he took
priations frequent stOppages transfers of force to
work other vessels and to alterations ordered by
the bureau"
THE NORFOLK NAVY YARD MANAGEMENT NOT En-
TIRELY SATISFACTORY.
In his letter to Commodore Mayo, Secretary
Chandler remarks that, while he does not consider
the defense entirely complete 1t appears to be SUI
cient and satisfactory, so far as the serious charges
are concerned, and therefore he does not regard
court-martial necessary In either case he does not
believe that any political assessments levied
and collected as charged. Secretary Chandler also
informs Commodore Mayo that the past manage
meM OF the NOrfOlk navy yard by him has not been
wholly satisfactory, and admonishes him that here
after he must conduct 1t In more orderly, efficient
and economical manner. The Secretary remarks
