HE GOT THEM.-Master Fred Fenton fell
from the topmost limb ofan apple tree. He
was picked up and carried to the house in
an insensible condition.
After Watching at his bedside through
many weary hours, his mother perceived
signs of returning consciousness.
Leaning over him she asked him if there
was anything she could do for him, now that
he was beginning to feel better.
Should she bathe his forehead? Should
she fan him or change his pillow? Was
there anything he wanted?
Languidly opening his eyes and looking
at her, the little sufferer said:
"Yes, mamma, I want pair of pants
with a pocket behind!

redeem, is one and the same purpose. God
has but one purpose, and that embraces all
things. The result of this purpose, which
the apostle says is eternal, is creation, prov
idence and redemption, and these are for
his own glory. The full extent of the glory
of God, as secured by the scheme of redemp-
ton, can only be partly discovered in this
world. This is reserved for another state of
existence in another world. Now, the
apostle says, it is made known unto princi-
palities and powers in heavenly places,
through the Church.

ALI. THE GLORY HE WANTED.-It was
during the late war. We were preparing
for charge on Mulligan's works at LeXing-
ton, when Vest of Missouri, the present
United States Senator, came up and asked
permission to participate as a volunteer.
His request was granted, and being furnish
ed with weapons and horse, he dashed
boldly into the fray. The attacking party
was driven back, and in a few minutes Vest
rode up to where General Price and staff
were standing, turned over horse and weap-
ons to an orderly, and with an impressive
ness all his own declared that 1.-THE man
who says George Vest has never been in
battle is a liar, and the man who says
that George Vest will ever be found in an
other is fool"
MARRIED Two WoMEN.-"Did you hear
of that man who married two women in
one day ?" asked Fogg at the tea table the
other evening. "Isn't it awful:' exclaim-
N Mr. .S Fogg." e3 aoh, there isn't much to tell.5
replied Fogg; ''y you know him well. II
know him the villainw shrieked the land
lady. "Don't say that ma'am," said Fogg,
soothingly; "don't say that. 1t was the
Rev. Mr. Textual, your beloved pastor, and
he wouldn't like to hear you talk so about
him. And, by the by, he married the wo-
men 10 as TWO likely young lelloWo 1o IllelC
are in town." The landlady says she never
could bear that Fogg.-Boston Transcript.
a NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. OF FFACTS.-A Lon
don organ-grinder escaped a fine by very
ingenious excuse. He had been playing
before the house ofan irascibe old gentleman
who furiously, and with wild gesticulations,
ordered him to 'smove on" The organ
grinder stolidly ground on and was arrested
for his disturbance. At the trial the Judge
asked him why he did not leave when re-
quested. "No spik Inglese," was the re-
ply. "Well," said the Judge, "but you
must have understood his gestures, his
motion" 81 tinkee he come to dance,' was
the rejoinder, that caused the Judge to
laugh heartily and let the musician go.
seg-"Well, my child" said a father to his
little daughter, after she had been to church,
"what do you remember of all the preacher
said?" 'Nothing," was the timid reply.
"Nothingw he exclaimed, in a severe tone:
"Now, remember, the next time you must
tell me something of what he says, or you
will have to be punished" Next Sunday
the child came home with her eyes all wild
with excitement. 81 remember something
to-day, papa,' she cried eagerly. ~ am
very glad of it," said her father. what
did he say?" "He said, "A collection will
now be made!"

after a few casual remarks, thus broke the
ice: 'Shudge, l vas q square man, but
have missed feefty tollar, und dink your
son Fred hat dakenit." "Well, Noses" re-
piled the Judge, 81 know that Fred has
been pretty wild, and Pm not greatly sur
prised. suppose he got into debt and bor-
roWed of you to get out of it. don't see
what can do, though; the milk is spilled,
and can't pick it up" "Shudge, | vas
a square man., said Moses, "and l dell
you vot I do. You pay me tree hundred
refected>a moment, and then, without fur
ther parley, drew check for the amount
and handed it over to the Jew. No sooner
had he done so than new idea flashed
upon him, and he said to Moses: Hold on,
Moses suppose it turns out that my son
didn't take the money" "Vell, Shudge, L
vas square man." replied Moses, putting
the check in his pocket, "und tell you vot
I'll do. Eef it durns oud that your son
didn't take dot moneys, Ill give him anod-
der shance."-Neao Orleans Democrat.
pg $50 you love my daughter, you say?'
said Paterfamilias to the young man, ''and
want to marry her." What is your occupa-
tion?"
'srm tutor" was the reply.
"Ah that's very respectable; very re-
spectacle, indeed. Teach the classics ?''
"'N-n-not exactly" said the youth; "pm
q musical tutor"
ga musical tutor! Well, that is suffici-
ciently respectable, You can continue your
visits if my daughter is willing"
Two weeks later the young couple were
married, and the confding father discover
ed that his son-in-laW was no more than
a member of an insignificant orchestra with
salary of twelve dollars week.
"Why, confound you," he said, Wrathful-
ly, didn't you tell me that you were
$50 1 am 'tooter,' replied the youth ;
II play the French horn, and you should
just hear me footing"
The old gentleman concluded to make
the best of it.
THE LIME-K1LN CLUB.-Judge Cadaver
was asked what influence women had on
business, and he drew a long breath and re-
piled that if it wasn't for the female sex the
business of the world would drop one-half;
one dry-goods store in city could supply
all the men, but the women supported two
or three hundred of them. Women not
only maintained business, but established
new manufactures. For instance, the deco
ration of female hosiery gave employment
to 5000 persons the year round. 1t was all
out of sight and utterly useless, but it circu-
lated millions of dollars. Pads, bustles,
paints, cosmetics and false hair were of no
real service, convenience or ornament, and
yet $5O,OOO,0OO and the labor of 200, 600 people
were the annual results. Woman was
straight business. When a wife whose hus-
band earns only $25 per week can keep
carriage, wear 800 bracelets and put on
$3.50 sealskin sacque, the man who contend
ed that the female sex had no financial abil-
tiles had better hang up.

The Democratic Leader.
THURSDAY, MAY s, 1884.

BUSINESS men throughout the country
will learn with great satisfaction that all
tinkering with the tariff has ceased, 50 far
as the present Congress is concerned.
Whatever the merits of free trade or pro-
tectiye tariff, there can be no doubt that
any uncertainty in the commercial world
on the eve of a presidential election, is to
be deplored. The excitement incident TO
such an event is sufficient in itself to un-
settle, or, at least, materially Interfere
with the country's business. If there is
superadded to this the uncertainty pro-
duced by threatened changes in the tariff
regulations, a condition of feeling in bust
ness circles is produced hat is very far
from desirable. 1t is, therefore, n matter
of congratulation that this great bugaboo
of the present Congress is effectually dis
posed of for this session. At the same
time, there is no doubt whatever that the
tariff issue must become in the near future
a question requiring as great a display of
statesmanlike qualities as any of the
grave subjects that have heretofore agi-
tated the country. In effectually dispos-
ing of this question for the session, the
greatest credit is due Mr.. Randall, of
Pennsylvania, who deserves the sincere
thanks of the business interests of the
aottptr1.

The National Medical association seems
determined to go into the question of the
standard of requirements for graduation
set up by the American colleges. As was
stated at the meeting yesterday, Il man
may go through many of the medical
colleges and secure his diploma without
ever having felt a patient pulse. 1t has
long been recognized that the greatest
fault to be found with the curriculum of
American medical colleges is the small at
tention paid to practical clinical training.
In the theory of medicine the education
received is thorough and cminently salts
factory, but usually there is very little
effort made to go beyond this. While
there is no doubt that the standard of
many of the colleges might be elevated
with satisfactory results, yet, after all, this
is a question which eventually regulates
itself. While men of poor capabilities,
but great assumption, occasionally make n
great success in practice, their regulations
are never of a lasting character. The
thoroughly trained, hard working and
conscientious physician eventually FORCES
TO the front, and the miserable pretcnder
is relegated to the rear, where he properly
belongs.

The genial ex-senator Tabor. Of Colo
RADIO, apparently has several well-grounded
opinions on the interesting question of who
will be the next President of the United
States. To a Denver reporter he is al
legged to have said hat Blaine was n-
doubtedly the coming man, In Chicago
he candidly confessed to an Inter Oceon
reporter that he believed Arthur to have
the inside track of all competitors. Some
time previously it is asserted that he said
to a Pittsburg Dispatch reporter that
Grant would unquestionably be the nomi-
nee of the Chicago convention. Tabor s
opinions on this subject seem to be as val
liable as they are concise and satisfactory.
To judge from appearances he governs his
opinions entirely by the political prefcrcn-
ces of the newspaper interviewing him.
If Mr.. Tabor now expresses positive con
~victions that Il dark horse candidate will
be nominated, he will achieve undoubted
distinction as a political prophet.
, 1884-05-08

GENERAL GRANT candidly admits his
decided preference for Logan as the Re.
publican nominee for president. Regard
ing Arthur he prefers to maintain a sig,
n~iicant silence. He feels hat the coun-
try generally is in u very prosperous con
dition, and predicts a wonderful and ex-
traordinary advancement in its material
welfare by the close of the century.
