The Comfort OF Being a Boy.

There Is comfort to be boy in the
amount of work he can get rid of doing.
1t is something astonishing how slow
he can go on an errand; perhaps, he
couldn't explain to himself why, when
he is sent to the neighbours for yeast,
he stops to stone frogs. He is not
exactly cruel, but he wants to see il he
can't hit 'cm. 1t is acurious fact about
boys, that two Will be great deal
slower about doing anything than one.
Boys have q power of helping each
other do nothing. But say what you
will about the general usefulness of
boys, farm without boy would soon
come to grief. He is always in demand.
In the first place he is to do all the er.
rands, go to the store. postoifice, and
carry all sorts OF messages. He would
like to have AZ many legs as wheel
has spokos, and rotate in the same way.
This he sometimes tries to do, and peo-
pie who have SO him turning cart
wheels" along the side of the road lave
supposed he was amusing himself and
biding his time. He was only trying to
invent a new mode of locomotion, so he
could economic his legs, aud do his
errands with greater dispatch. Leap
frog is one of the methods of getting
over the ground quickly. He has a
natural genius for combin ng pleasure
with business. Dudley Var

In Philadelphia movement is on
foot to compel makers Of bogus butter
to color their products pink instead OF
yellow. There seem to be some diff
culties in the way of making State
law effective TO prevent the sale OF
false butter. One is, that while q
Pennsylvania law, for example, might
prevent the manufacture, it could not
prevent the sale, in the State of bogus
butter made elsewhere, unless it could
maintain thorough espionage over
makers and dealers in other States, who
might ship their stock to dealers in
Pennsylvania. The fact is that, even
with national law. were such in ex-

REGARDING the statement that large
quantities of oleomargarine have been
consumed by the public, the New York
Tribune says, very justly This is a
strange argument. The consumption
of oleomargarine confessedly depends
upon deceit No evidence has ever
been adduced to show that any one sold
it for what it was. The few dealers
who tried TO do so could not dispose of
it at all. 1t has been palmed of upon
the consumer as q dairy product, and
because this is so it would be as reason
able TO cite the large consumption of
adulterated mustard, pepper. or any
other sophisticated article as justifica-
ton for the adulteration, as to point to
the sale of oleomargarine as proof
that it is popular. The plain facts OF
the case are in truth complete vindi-
cation of the prohibitory law in regard
to oleomargarine. The allegation that
it can be made wholesome is not rele-
want either. The evidence shows that
it can as easily, and more profitably, be
made of unwholesome materials, and
since it is impracticable to exercise a
supervision over the manufacture 50
strict as to render the use of unwhole-
some materials impossible, prohibition
is the only means of protection left to
the public.

ConkIing's Purposes.

In political circles in New York it is
doubted that Mr.. COnkling has perma-
nently retired from politics. 1t is be-
lieved-that be is only waiting for an
opportunity to show that he is still a
leader and a boss in the Republican
camp. A day or two ago there was pub
lished a long interview in a New York
paper with Congressman Belford, who
undertook TO explain the relations which
existed between Garfield and Conkling
Immediately after Garfield's election to
the Presidency, and to show that there
was deliberate purpose on the part of
Garfield and Blaine TO crowd COnkling
out OF politics. In this interview Conk-
ling is represented as fOrOearing and
patriotic statesman, who at that time was
sOlicitiOus about nothing so much as
the good of his party and the welfare OF
the country. 1t is alleged that this inter-
view was not published without COnk-
ling's knowledge and approval. 1t is the
talk in New York that should Blaine be
pushed for the Presidential nomination of
his party Conkling would drop the law for
the time being and apply himself to the
task of defeating his aspirations. Neither
Conkling nor Grant have any good will
for Blaine, and they are understood to be
watching the course Of events with the
view of making their influence felt against
him if he should become strong candi-
date for the Chicago nomination. If
Conkling is rightly understood he does
not mean to get so far out of politics as
not to be able to defeat Blaine's ambi-
tiOus schemes.

The Woman Who Works.

G. Z. 1Hdtthe1cS IN ChfcQGO Current.
The woman who works, strong in her
self respect, strong in the respect of all
who toll that they may live, strong in the
favor of all who have known what it is
to earn their bread by the sweat of their
brows, strong in the spirit of personal in
dependence, needs no protection from the
''pitying patronage of anybody. If she
is at times disposed to regard any slight
put upon her by those who have
no business in life save to amuse
themselves, she may enjoy a re-
venge every day, for the ravens
of misfortune fly in at all windows. And
there are, doubtless, among women who
have found it necessary to go out into the
world and battle for existence, those who
find stings in the ''pitying patronage of
the fortune-favored, and who sit back IN
sack-clOth amid the ennobling inspira-
tions of their wOrk-a-day lives. To them
is commended the words of Carlyle: GAN
true work is sacred; in all true work,
were it but true hand-labor, there is some
thing of divineness." Therefore, chats
off" to the women who work! 1t would
be idle to urge them to lift up their heads,
for their heads are already uplifted.

BEN BUTLER,s NERVE.
How He Saved the Lives of Hundreds

How He Saved the Lives of Hundreds
of People.
Butler would have made a duellist of
himself had be been born in State and
at time when the code of honor held
good, SAYS the Cleveland Ohio Leader.
But bean-eating Massachusetts never
fights duels, and Buffers nerve has had
to be expended in other ways. A notable
instance Of this occurred in 1856, when
Ben Butler was a young practitioner at
Lowell. The Buchanan campaign was in
full progress, and a great meeting was be-
ing held in the largest hall of the city.
Rufus Choate, the great lawyer, was adj
dressing the meeting, and his elOquence
had thrown them into the widest enthu-
siasm, when a jar was felt and a crash
was heard. The cry went forth, ''The
floor is sinking" Every one turned pale,
and the audience rose for stampede,
when Ben Butler came to the front of the
platform beside Mr.. ChOate, and, calling
the audience to halt, said there was no
danger; that the architect of the building
was present, and that he would 90 with
him and examine the building, and report
to allay their fears. ~'This quieted the au-
dience.
Butler and the architect made an i'm
mediate examination of the hall, and
found the danger very great. Butler at
once returned, and smilingly assured the
audience there was no present danger;
but, as the hall was OYercrOwded, be adj
yised them to quietly adjourn to the pub
lie square, and there Mr.. Choate would
finish his speech. The crowd went quiet
ly out, and the catastrophe was averted.
AS Butler stepped on the platform he had
whispered to Mr.. ChOate with a half
laugh in order to deceive the audience.
This is what he said: MIR. Choate, l must
clear this house or we shall all be in hell
in five minutes"

How to Secure Customers.


''That man will hereafter be a good
customer of mine," said the saloon-keeper

something about getting stuck with them

business, ask him to take drink, chat
with him while he crooks his elbow, tell
him a funny story, and he'll 90 away

that he'll never go by without coming in.
Eve made half a dozen good customers
with that half dollar already. There's
tricks in all trades but ours, Many's
the more of these fellows that man will
give me-"
AS he spoke he pulled open the money
drawer and took therefrom the bill the
stranger had given him. He looked at it
closely, admiringly, doubtingly, and then
with undIsguised disgust.
"No, boys, Pm wrong. He'll never bring
that half dollar back. The bill is bogus"

An incident occurred the other evening

from the capitol to the White House
which attracted no attention atthe time,
but which, had it occurred in the days be-
fore the war, would have been widely
commented upon, says a Washington let
ter. The car was full of gentlemen and
ladies, and Speaker Carlisle was sitting
beside me looking very grave and proba-
bly, thinking himself great fool for
having accepted such trying position as
Speaker of this Congress, when young
negro girl entered the car. There was no
seat for her, and she grasped the strap,
looking vainly around for a seat. There
was none to be seen, and no one rose to
give one. At length the Speaker, coming
out of his meditation, saw her. He half
rose to give her his place, when he
changed his mind, and, crowding the rest
of us toward the end of the car, made
room for her beside himself, and motioned
her to sit down. She did so. There was
no ostentation about it, and the Speaker
relapsed into his moody medltations as
soon as it was over.

TiIden and Payne Out of the Race

Tilden and Payne Out of the Race.
Tilden and Payne have been heard from
again, and again it is announced that
they are not and viii not be Presidential
candidates. A correspondent Of the
Baltimore San had a talk with Mr.. Tilden
last Monday, and Mr.. TiIden told him that
he did not want the nomination and could
not take it. On the same day the prOprie-
tor of the Kansas City Times telegraphed
his paper that he was authorized by Col.
Oliver Payne to say that his
father, Henry B. Payne, would
under no circumstances accept
a Presidential nomination. Tilden and
Payne may as well be considered as out
of the list Of Presidential candidates.
They have said more than once that they
could not accept the nomination if
rendered to them, and it is only just that
they should be allowed to settle the mat
ter for themselves. 1t is certainly time
that the newspapers and politicians
should stop annoying these old gentle
men. The nomination has never been
offered to them, and it is not GER
tain that it would have been
if they had not announced their determi-
nation not to accept it; but, as they have
been kind enough to express themselves
frankly with regard to it, they ought to
be taken at their word. The nomination

plenty of good men who want it. The
newspapers which nave been ''bOOming'
Tilden and Payne are deserving of sym
pathy, of course, because they have only
their trouble for their pains, but their ex-
perience viii teach them not to be so rash
in the future.

Bismarck,s Retirement.

Bismarck, it seems, has determined to
retire from the Prussian Ministry. The
Emperor William has consented to his
retirement. There appears to be con-
flict Of opinion as to the cause of this act
on his part. One account says that 1t is
due TO the fact that he finds himself OPP
posed by all the other Ministers. Another,
however, SAYS thath he desires todevOte more
of his time to the affairs Of the Empire. 1t
is not improbable that his policy is no
longer deemed to be the best for the inter-
ests of the German Empire. He doubtless
still has the confidence of the Emperor.
He was 60 years old on the 1st Of April,
and on that occasion the Emperor showed
him marked evidences of his good
will and confidence. Bismarck
has had a very remarkable
career. For almost a quarter of a century
he has been very prominent figure in
European politics. In September, 1862,
he succeeded, Professionally, Prince
HohenzOllern as Prime Minister, and on
the Sth Of October following he was
recognized as the head Of the administra-
ton. His fame very soon passed beyond
the bounds of his own country. His vic
tories in diplomacy quickly placed him in
the front rank Of European statesmen.
Germany owes her present greatness
largely to him. 1t is a question with
many of Germany's leading statesmen,
however, whether his usefulness is not
about at an end. His masterful way of
directing affairs viii doubtless be missed,
but his retirement probably will not be
generally regretted.

HILARITY IN THE BLAINE CAMP
The Satisfactory Condition of the Re
ports from Pennsylvania.

The Satisfactory Condition of the Re-
ports from Pennsylvania.
A Washington dispatch says that inside
the Blaine camp there exists a confidence
in his nomination that is little less than
hilarious. The last few days have brought
good news from many quarters, par
ticularly from the Northwest and some
parts of the South. From PENNSYLVANIA
the reports are almost too good to be true.
They point to a Blaine delegation by a
large majority. From New York, also,
the report is better than was expected.
One thing unlocked for is reported, name
ly, that Grants efforts in behalf of Logan
are displeasing to the Generals old
friends. Some of them have declared
preference for Blaine rather than
Logan. Grants hostility to Blaine is
stimulating the supporters of the eX-
Secretary to greater efforts.
