rerSuasiveness OF the Musket.

"REMINISCENCES OF the MusIxet
Toledo (O) Blade.
General Steedman tells a good story
which is applicable to the manner in
which the aristOcratic Goth Rifles recent
ly skipped out in front of Ramleh and
gave everything up to the Egyptians
While near Nashville the General had a
negro regiment on the picket line, and a
bright young mulattO sergeant in COM
mand of post got the drop on a rebel
post and captured the whole affair. The
rebels were a crowd of housekeeping
young Virginians, and some of them
were very much worked up at having to
surrender to "lOt of niggers." General
StAedman took their commander, fine
young fellow, into his tent, extended
some little cOurtesies to him, and in the
course of the conversation said; 1T was
little tough. Lieutenant, to be taken in
by cOlOred soldiers, but war has strange
experiences" "Well, General" said the
other, ''Pve been in the army now for
nearly four years. and if I've learned
anything it has been a profound respect
for the mnsket. When the muzzle Is
showed into my face don't usually ask
any questions as to who's got hold of the
breech."
General Sherman tells nearly as good
story in his book. He was standing
on the sidewalk in st. Louis when Gen.
Lyon went out to attack the Secession
lists at Camp Jackson. A young lady of
Gen. Sherman's acquaintance-da
of one of the most aristOcratic families
in the city-was standing on stOOp
near by, wringing her hands and crying.
She said her brothers, cousins, and a
number of acquaintance were in Camp
Jackson, and she was certain would all
be killed, for they were proud, high
spirited men, belonging to the best
families in the city. and they would die
before they would yield. General Sher-
man tried to console her by saying that
he had noticed that the sons of first-class
families were usually not any more
willing to die than other people. He
continued his walk, and in little while
met Gen. Lyon returning with the en-
tire force at Camp Jackson, which had
surrendered without firing a gun. He
FASTENED back to comfort the young lady
with news of her kinsman's salty, but |
after she heard it she slammed the door
jim his face.

Foolish Free-Trade Arguments.

Where there is intelligence; wher,
there are schools and learning. there
Will you find the protection feeling
strongest in this country. Leave the
South out of the question, and how much
strength can the free-traders show?
There their strength is, and in man,
localities in the South the voters are
free-traders because their fathers were
who were supported by slave labor. The
next generation will make great
breach in the free-trade phalanx though.
The evidence of this Is seen i'm the
changed tone of the Sou hern press, i'm
the shifting of such free-traders az Mr.
Vest, OF Missouri, who wants the indus
tries of his particular locality protected.
These significant signs of the times are
passed without notice by the Times and
Post. The former contents itself with
saying that prOtec ion Is in its do; age,
while the post declares Thursday nights
meeting shows the prOtectiOnists are
panic stricken. This is the kind of ar
gument these journals use when their
own fabrics are tumbling about their
ears.-New York Commercial ADDER
,tiser.
Free-trade papers are proving that the
wages of the labOring class. in America
are already very low. From this they
draw the inferance that the tOiler could
not be injured by lack of protection.
Their reasoning lacks cOgency. Free
trade would not destroy the greed of en-
plOyers, and to satisfy 1t the brunt of
the necessary reduction in prices would.
as 1t always does, fall on the labOring
man. We frankly admit that American
workers are often insufflciently paid,
but we fail TO see how they could be
benefited by a policy that would destroy
many manufactures and leave the re-
mainder with less margin Of profit
and decreased ability to pay employees.
The sel6shness that would fain obtain
the blood and sweat of another without
TecOmpense is not the creature of any
governmental policy, and will not be
decreased by paralyzing our great indus
tries through the adoption Of free trade.

A great deal Of good is being done
among the poor children OF our great cities
by such organizations rs the Country
week" in Boston and the "Tribune fresh
air fund.- in New York whose aim is to
give the poorer city children release
from their hot and unwholesome surround.
ings By weeks vacation among the farm
houses in the country. Places are secured
in advance by the managers and the little
ones are sent out in the charge of compe.
tent persons TO their destination. Satur-
day party Of nearly ninety were sent by
the Tribune fund to Waverly N. Y. and
party of five hundred, will, in few days,
be sent to several of the towns on the
western shore of Lake Champlsin. OF the
trip Saturday the Tribune has Il very
interesting account, showing that the
people all along the line were much
interested in the crowd of curious and
interesting children, and at one of the sta
ions a lady came on board who wished TO
adopt one or two of the children and who,
on having the matter explained to her said
81 thought you started from New York
with car load, and Travelled until they
had been given away and wanted one or
two" She seemed much disappointed on
turning away after asking clearly
dressed little tod her age and receiving the
reply "three." On the arrival OF the train
at Waverly the children were apporlioned
among their friends, and by mistake, a
party of three, two sisters Of twelve and
four and brother of seven were sent to
houses in different parts of the town,
several miles apart, but on discovering
the disappointment of the elder girl that
Johnny was going 10 be separated from
them, the kind farmer who had taken the
two girls promised her that in the
morning he would drive over and get
him, and thus keep the little family
unbroken.

From Our REGULAR Correspondent
Paris Letter.
PARIS, June 2:

PARIS, June %, 1888
Had the weather for the Grand Prix to.
day been specially made to the order OF
the thousands to whom it was of interest
it could scarcely have been more suitable.
True, the sun was hot at times-ovcrpower
lug so--but westerly breeze soon brought
DIP some friendly brcez,s that shaded
without lessening its warmth; and the
Parisians were not slow to avail them
selves Of their good fortune. From early
morning until the latest moment admitting
of a sight Of the great race well nigh
unceasing stream of carriages and foot
passengers poured along every boulevard
and every stIeet, even of the smallest,
toward the general meeting point, the Arc
dc Triomphe. There the many tributary
streams formed one river that rolled down
the Avenue du Bots dc Bouogne into the
Bots ITSELF and SO on to the race course.
Everyone was going in tue same direc.
ton, and no one thought of turning back,
so that the Partisan "cabby," 10 whom n
rule of the road is proverbially obnoxious,
had no opposing currents to perplex him
Interesting, indeed, in its varied aspects
was this hurrying, laughing, gesticulating,
and perspiring throng that poured on as
though it had no end. Here came the
coroneted fcur.in.hand, crowded by ladies
in the most bewldering toilettes, and by
the gentlemen, regardless of heat, in the
shiniest of hats, the highest of coats, and
the fiercest of moustaches, dashing quickly
past the numbering brake, with its over
burdened horses and its noisy occupants
Not so easy, however, was its victory over

The Boston Herald hints that if the
nomination of Gov. Butler for the presi-
denoy would, as alleged, result in a revolt
of the southern states and a breaking up
of the democratic party. then he had better
be nominated; for the "disruption of the
democratic party would be followed, or
more likely accompanied, by the recon-
struction and naturalization of the repub.
lican party. And new division thus
being effected voters who think alike and
have common interest could again act
together. With wise and conservative

Quiet Riot and Peaceful War.

The troubles at the Ely mines culmina'
ted last week in "riot and war" But
both riot and war did "wnr the good
people of Vermont as gently as any suck
ing dove" 1t was such riot MS makes
its greatest. show on paper and such war
as non.resistants could engage in without
strain of conscience.
The miners like other folks live mainly
by what they get to eat; and the mining
company owed them wages that many OF
them needed 10 get provisions. Promises
to pay were not kept. Smith Ely has
come to be an old man, and Ely Goddard
initiates the absentee landlords of Ireland.
The miners "back pay was honestly
earned, squarely promised, and they were
in need of it. Stories differ as to what
they did do and would have done had not
the militia gone over. But there was
evidently want of truth in many Of the
rumors of Friday and few days before
that. As to acts there can be but one
opinion that for crowd of men out of
work and needy, under the circumstances
they were in, the miners had behaved
themselves with forbearancc.
And as to threats, the discharge of the
miners who were arrested would seem to
show that the affidavils on which the
governor, under the advice of Mr.. Phelps,
called out the militia, were pretty strong
considering what they were based on.
But whether this was one way or the
other and whether anybody "lost his
head" Tin a peaceful way) in applying to
the governor or not. case appears to
have been made out that warranted the
call of the troops so far rs the executive
was concerned.
The governor went with his army and
seems to have judiciously exercised his
mind as to what could be done toward
some sort of justice to the miners rather
than to nave sought occasion for glory on
a bloody field. Gov. Barstow gets com.
pliments from every source except labor
union somewhere that passed resolutions
before it knew what was going on.
If the troops were to be taken it was
we'll to take enough to show the power OF
the state. Whether the miners would
have rioted or not had no troops gone, an
inadequate force might have melted the
very thing it went to prevent.
As it was the troops won a complete
victory over the miners-by leaving them
all their rations. And the miners had
the good will as well as the rltiens
of the militia.
The response of the militia 10 the call !
was prompt and their conduct was soldier
ly and credtable to the state. 1t was not |
their fault that they found nobody to fight
Finding nobody to fight they "took up a
and while they found no
enemies in the mining district they left
many friends there.
