Mrs Jarphley said she was deeply gratifed to
hear it, but evidently was trihe skepticaL
Our Sunday teacher told US that if

going to be good" and the heir of the Jarphlys
retired to the parlor, and seating himself on a
chair by the window, attempted to spear blue

employed he called out, Nah, can't have
piece of lemon pie"

mother.
''But want piece"

A SOLDIER OF FORTUNE.
Methods by Which Mr.. Swain Was Enabled
to Make His Way in the World.


Visiting in an Allegheny home is an old gen
tleman whose home is in Ohio. He is member
of the bar, and is now holding % government APP
pointment at Washington In a conversation
upon the Swain trial, last night he gave a brief
sketch of the Judge-advocate General, as fol
lows: Just after the war, Swain. who had
considerable reputation as petty striker and
small political wire puller, employed by.
General Garfield to do some work for him among
the rural Wales Swain did his work well. He
had no conscientious scruples, and faithfully
obeyed every instruction given him. As re
ward for this Garfield took him to Washington,
and appointed him clerk of his committee. In
1865 the elerkship expired, but Swain had got
start. Naturally selfish and penurious he had
boarded at the cheapest lodgings and saved most
of his salary, which he materially increased
by lending out at usurious rates of inter
est. He went back to Ohio with big
scheme under his hat He wanted to
be admitted to the bar. He did not know any
law. and his me was too valuable to waste in
reading, In his village was brilliant lawyer
who had lost caste through dissipation. To him
Swain went and said that he wanted to be ad
mitted to the bar He promised not to try to
practice abo1t home, but said he would go TO
Minnesota quick as he got his certificate. He
said he going into the real estate business
there, and if he could put attorney at law on his
sign it would help him. But vow don't know

that, but you must arrange it ALL Jim said

as | get the certificate The bargain was struck
and in few days Slippery Jim made a motion
in court to have a commission appointed to ex
anime Swain for admission to the bar. He
handed the clerk of courts the names of two
other lawyers to be put on the committee with
himself Jim directed Swain to order room at
the hotel, in which was to be opened lunch
with plenty of whisky and box of cigars
Swain said, But have no money with me. I'll
order the stuff in your name, and pay for it

orgy Swain emerged a lawyer, but did not go to

New York Sun.
Samuel Mutt, of Farmer City, Ill, has issued
the first. though not, we trust. the last number
of monthly independent journal of reform,
called the Spirit of Truth, in which 'the tariff
question is sifted to the very core, so that the
uneducated can understand its deception and
the causes of monopoly and the ruination tar
if brings on q nation" This of itself would be
job of size, but the Spirit of Truth also con
tracts ito defend the word of God against the
world at large a fact from which we are JUST
fed in nferring that however many sympathiZ
ers with his economic views Samuel Mutt may
find. in religion he is a minority of one. More
over, he means to expose the eorTuptions in
churches and governments, and sweep the dust
from things generally.
Samuel Mutt intends to do much, but he asks
only little. The price of twelve doses of his
spirit is only fifty cents We mention this be
cause the Farmer City reformer frankly admits
that he is obliged to sell truth much as he would
like to give it away But ] can't live on wind"
he says mournfuly Neither can l pay my

ministers of the gospel, and. indeed, this is
evident from his severe editorial article entitled

Samuel Mutt can hardly want such people for
subscribers to his journal, and SO we are afraid
that his subscription list won't be very long;
but perhaps he doesn't care for that
Neither does he care for education, in which
he sees more ignorance than knowledge" Ard
in riches Samuel Mutt sees no good no, not any:
1T do not matter weather man have any
brains not, long that he is possessed of
riches, and is able to converse with lot of edu-
Gated idiots"
But the views of Samuel Mutt on religion and
education need not detain US Those important
subjects will be treated in his own peculiar man
ner, no doubt in the Spirit but the high tariff
moves it more, and it means to move the high
tariff. We commend TO Colonel Watterson and
