The Presidential Succession.

Washington Post.
Much is being said as to the presi-
dental succession on account of the
death of the vice president, for which
there is no warrant.
There are matters of fact and there
are opinionst, but when statute law
is plain there is no excuse for mis-
leading the public. The office of vice
president is vacant, having been
made so by the death of Mr.. Hen
bricks; therefore, there cannot be
hereafter, until there is an election
by the people, another vice presi-
dent. ..
This being the case, there will be
no such person as an acting vice presi-
dent. There will be presiden pro
tempore of the senate of necessity,
just as there would have been last
spring if the vice president had vaca-
ted the chair so as to have given the
senate an opportunity, and just as
there would have been early in 1881
if Vice President Arthur had allowed
an election.
The president pro tempore to be
chosen, who will be Republican, is
not the vice president, and does not
stand in the place of the vice presi-
dent. When a president dies the
vice president succeeds to the Office
for the remainder of the term, with
all the powers and prerogatives of the
president. When the president dies
and their is no vice president the
president pro tempore of the senate
becomes the tingpresident, invested
with the duties and responsibilities
only until a new president can be
elected.
If the vacancy occurs after the
general election day in November
and before the 1st of September, the
election will occur in the following
November. If the vacancy occurs
between the LIST Of September and
election day'in November, or, to be
exact, inside of two months before
election day, then the election will
be in November of the next year, and
will be for a full term of four year.
The only exception is where the reg
ular election-as last year, for in
stance-is to come off in the first
November succeeding, in which
event things go on as usual.
Instead of the president pro tempore
being an acting vice president, he is
merely presiding officer whom the
senate may depose at any day in
favor of somebody else. That the
power was exercised is well remem-
bered, when four years ago after
senator Bayard had been chosen presi-
dent pro tempOre, the senate turned
about forty-eight hours after and
substituted Senator David Davis in
his place.

IF WE WOULD.

II we would but check the speaker
When he spoils his neighbours fame
If we would but help the erring,
Ere we utter words of blame;
If we would, how many might we
Turn from paths of sin and shame.
All, the wrongs that might be righted,
If we would but see the way!
All, the pains that might be lightened,
Every hour and every day;
If we would but hear the pleading,
OF the hearts that 60 astray
In each life, however lowly,
There are seeds of mighty good;
Still we shrink from SOUPS appealing
With timid "If we could"
But a God who judgeth all things,
Knows the truth is "If we would"

A Clever Rabbit.

Port eryis Gazette.
A ludicrous incident occurred at a
rabbit hunt near Hohokus, N. j., on
Saturday. The hound started the
"cottontail" in piece of short brush
on a side hill. The hunter could wit
ness the race at a great distance, and
soon saw the rabbit making circle.
AS he came out from the brush, he
was seen to stop suddenly, On rushed
the hound, and as he lowered his
head to seize the little animal, the
rabbit gave a spring to one side, and
the dog doubled up like a ball.
While he was letting himself out,
the rabbit was making time on the
back track. ...
The hound was soon in full pursuit
again, but the rabbit led the dog to
where two saplings grew close to-
gether from an old root. He then
stopped as before, and waited until
the dog was almost upon him, when
he leaped between the two saplings,
while the dog attempted to follow.
But there was barely room for the
rabbit, and the hound was caught
between the crotch and badly injured.
The rabbit turned and looked at his
enemy a minute, and then was soon
lost in the thicket. The dog immedi-
ately started for home, and no
amount Of coaXing could induce him
to continue the hunt.

Does Farming Pay.

Cor. New England Farmer.
AS far as making a fortune is con-
cerned farming is a slow way to accu-
mulate money. But there are other
paying qualities in the farm that are
taken into account far too little. The
greed for money making is fast I'M
settling the human mind, and errone-
ously solving the problem of life. In
stead of being satisfied, contented
and happy with good comfortable
home we are thinking of nothing else
but riches, and sacrifice what might
be comfortable and happy life by
scrambling one over another in an
eager and everlasting struggle for the
"almighty dollar" or the dollar
which, am sorry to say, is the Al
mighty. We do not measure the
paying qualities of a home except by
the dollar standard. Does any far
mer, or any one else, ever realize
what fearful condition of things
this money making mania is produc-
ing? Judging by the past what the
future will bring, we can see how fast
the distance between wealth and pow
erty is increasing, and imagine what
twenty-five years will bring in the
form of a few men of wealth with
their thousand millions controlling
nations. Now very large majority
Of the people are working for these
very men, for nothing but food and
raiment, for the imperfect laws of ma
ture will admit of no equality in the
faculties of men, and there will always
be those whose "dish'' will be right
side up to catch the porridge that
other men will spill, and do what
you will the profit on the labor of the
many will always go into the hands
Of the few, as long as money making
is the prime object of life. Now this
can be remedied only in one way,
and that is to substitute the art of OBJ
tanning the most happiness out of life
for the art of making money. This
would in time kill out the great curse
of selfishness, which is the natural re-
suit of money making, and leaveman
social and happy being, prepared to
enjoy life in making others happy as
well as himself. The best fortune in
existence is good productive farm,
arranged and managed to produce a
full amount of comfort, happiness and
pleasure, without excessive labor,
And the family that owns it, with
everything on it needed, and paid
for, and that can abandon the idea OF
getting rich, can get more pay
out of it in this life in the farm OF
happiness than can be obtained in
this or in any other way.
