Hon. Thomas P. 0chiItree.

For the Light.
This man, though we'll known in Texas, is
much misunderstood.
The writer hereof aided him to secure his
first place Of trust and honor in Texas, in the
year 1857, and from thence until now has
known him well. Ochiltree is a man Of
superior natural mind, yet never had but few
lines OF commentator therefor, simply be-
cause neither he, nor friends for him, ever put
in claim therefor. lie is much in the lead
Of the great majority Of American scholars,
and statesmen, in literary culture and accom-
plishments, yet no one Of his friends has
solicited attention to this, and the great public
has never been educated to view him in that
light; yet, in what literary contest has he ever
come of second best?
Ochiltree is a profoundly read politician,
both in the polity Of the United States, past
and present, as well Of England, France,
Spain, Italy and other foreign powers, and yet
the people have never clamored after him for
political wisdom, because partly from his own
course, and partly from the general course Of
the press, they have gazed at him through
other glasses. But now this is all changed.
Ochiltree is in Congress, "fame's eternal
camping ground"
lie is in a sphere where the calls
Of the hour demanded his great pow
ers of intellect, and you have the
word Of man who knows him,
that he will come up to the grand
measure Of a statesman in brilliancy, tact and
solid usefulness to his constituency and the
State in general.
Let not Mills or Welcome or Hancock
suppose they will have a mean competitor in
Ochitree in hurting the polished shafts of ora
tory and satire on the floor of Congress; nor
Culberson or Reagan or Stewart fancy them
selves easy victors over him in Congressional,
legal and constitutional contests.
The truth is he is the tallest timber in Con-
gress from Texas, and, mark the prediction,
that no Texas member will come to his
constituents from the next Congress
with more satisfaction to them and himself
than Thomas p. Ochiluee.
Yes, Ochiltree will wear laurels home from
Congress and be triumphantly returned from
his District to the next Congress, and as long
afterwards as he desires. c. b. A.

IT WOULD be difficult to tell when or how,
all the pother or clatter in the newspapers
about the vexatious, intermeddling Of mothers
in-law, took its rise and start, and in cur
opinion, the hue and cry raised against
mothers-in-law is as unfounded and cruel.
1t causes married daughters to reeoil from
having their mothers to come and stay with
them, and it causes their mothers to hesitate
about passing any time with their married
daughters. Women, who are cursed with
bad tempers, make poor wives, poor mothers
and poor mothers-in-law, all over the globe,
but there is neither rhyme nor reason in
abusing and ridiculing mothers-in-law, in the
gross, and newspaper WRITINGS shuold cut
short this unjust practice. The married man,
who loves his wife, will also love her mother,
because she is his wife's mother, and will try
to render her pleasant and comfortable in his
house, and where a mother loves her daugh-
ter she will regard that daughters husband
as son, and try 10 minister to her daughters
happiness. The less of interference there is,
from any quarter, with married persons, the
more likely they are to jog along to their
mutual satisfaction, and to "kiss and be
friends' after any unpleasantness, which may
spring up between them. Most mothers-in-
law know the wisdom Of non-interference, and
usually act upon the rule; and are not deserv-
ing Of eensure and ridicule from the press.

WASHINGTON correspondent of the Bal
timore Sun, speaking Of President Arthur's
position on the civil service reform question,
says "The President IN his former mes
sage TO Congress devoted considerable space
to the advocacy of civil service reform, and II
his expressions ale to be taken as an indica-
ton Of his views, he will in his next annual
communication follow up more strongly what
he has already said and advocated on this i'm
portant subject. The President, with his
sagacious political forethought, recognizes that
perhaps no less than the tariff will the matter
Of proper administration Of the civil service
be Appointment topic in the debates at the
next session of Congress, and demand atten-
ton and pronounced declaration from the
National conventions of the two great parties.
Therefore he is not slow to see the advantage
OF placing himself on record at the beginning.
Civil service reform has, it is claimed, had
sufficient trial in its preliminary stages and
workings to justify an opinion from him as to
whether il will be best to continue and enlarge
upon the present plan. 1t is thought by his
friends that he has determined this question
in the affirmative, and will recommend that
the test OF capacity and fitness for public Of
hee be extended so as to include various
classes of Offices not now within the applica-
ton OF the law"

has been sued as an indorser for a 5000
note made by the company which went
to protest ut the national bank of Rut-
land a few days since and upon which
the Battenlill national bank of Manches-
ter almost Immediately began suit
against Page and +. j. Hawley, the
president of the company. The note
was endorsed Individually by eX-Gov.
Page, T.. j. Hawley and j. b. Hollister
(the latter of whom is treasurer) and the
bank would be willing to renew the note
if Hawley's son would also endorse it,
but young Hawley not feeling under any
obligations would not do it and there
upon suit was at once begun. No other
suits have been begun az inst the Dor
set Marble company or any endorscr of
its paper. Other notes of the Dorset
Marble company held by banks in Rut-
land have gone to protest, but have been
satisfactorily renewed. The company is
understood to have had a large floating
indebtedness which has been largely re-
duced since the LIST of last January. The
company expects to meet all its paper,
but has probably been IA little hard up
because it has disposed of but a small
amount of its first mortgage bonds.
The company owns valuable quarrics and
mills in East Dorset, and a few years
since purchased two quarries and mill
in Rutland. These required large amounts
of money, which the company expected
and still expects to raise from the bonds
issued, which cover all its quarry proper
ty and mills both in East Dorset and
Rutland. and are considered good. The
fact of the above suit against Page and
and attachment on property being known
and occurring about the time he was
ousted from the railroad management
by the Clements has been prolific of ru-
mors. No financial crash is expected or
at all probable in Rutland. The banks
are understood to be sound, and will
stand the closest scrutiny.-Sprinafeld

near Petersburgh Jurction. N. Y, six
men were killed. The accident is charged
to the negligence of l.. III. johnson, the
operator at the Junction. He was ar
rested Wednesday, and jailed at Troy
johnson, who is Rutland boy, is II
years of age, and the testimony shows
he was on duty l3 hours and 40 minutes
a day, his days work beginning at 6
o'clock p. III. His carelessness is not yet
proven, and if it were, the company is as
much in fault as he. He had had little
experience and was an unfit person for
the place, even if he had not been over
worked. This is only another case of
false economy in railroad management.
Happily Vermont railroads do not en-
ploy such help in important positions,
but on too many roads in this country
that plan is followed.
