Having Some Fun.

"Now, boys, will tell you how We
can have some fun, said Charlie to his
companions who had assembled one
bright moonlight evening for shedding,
snow balling and fun generally.
"What is it ?" asked several at once.
"You shall see," replied Charlie.
"Who's got SAW"
II have. So have l." replied three
of the boys.
sect them; and you and Fred and
Nathan each get an ak and I will get q
shovel. Lets be back in fifteen min
utes."
The boys separated to go on their
several errands, each wondering of what
use saws, axes and shovels could he in
the play. But Charlie was a fayorite
with all, and they fully believed in his
promises, and were soon back aga IN for
the fun.
"Now," said he, "Widow Bradley has
gone to sit up all night with sick
child. A man hauled her some wood
to-day and heard her tell him that
unless she could get some one to saw it
to night she would have nothing to
make fire with in the morning. Now,
boys, it will be just as easy for us to
saw, split and pile up her wood az to
make a snowman Oh her doorstep, and
the surprise of the first will be better
than that of the last. What say you,
boys?"
One or two of the boys objected. und
could not see the fun, but the majority
went for it with tho inward satisfaction
and Joy that always results from we'll
doing.
1t did not take long for seven smart
healthy boys to split and pile up that
load of wood, and to shovel good path
from doorstep to wood-pile. They
felt great pleasure and satisfaction over
their fun, and then all went to a neigh
boring carpenters shop, where shavings
could be had for carrying away, and
each brought an armful; then they
went home with light and joyful hearts.
The next morning when the poor
weary widow had returned from watch
ing at the sick bed, and saw what ad
been done, she was astonished, and the
tears of gratitude ran down her cheeks.
She wondered who had done the kindly
deed, and when afterward told, her fer
vent invocation, "God bless the boys"
would have richly repaid them could
they have heard it.
The life. Of the modern actor, says
the Chicago Herald, is one of almot
incessant shift. He lives upon the
stage, in the dressing-room, the car.
rage, the hotel, the railway car. Back
and forth across he fits, anight here,
and another there, q week in one city,
sometimes two weeks in another. The
shadows that come across the mind of
the most prominent actors of the day
have made him . silhouette typical Of
his kind. Unable to act, and vet all
the time thinking his engagement be-
gins somewhere on the morrow, he is
constantly journeying to meet it. BY one
train to- Chicago. by another to St. Louis,
then back to New York, again to Phila-
delphia to Cincinnati, he is continually
going and coming. His uneasy spirit
seems doomed to walk the earth,

OFFICIAL VIOLENCE.

Some weeks ago the HERALD, in
referring to the assassination Of
Cap. Murphy, as charged BY the
Grand Jury of New Orleans, BY
officials of one Of the Recorders
Courts, said that there was reason
to fear violatoIs of hecriminal laws
may have been, in like manner,
placed, by election or appointment
in other Offices Of trust; that the
same system of nisgovernmenti
under which this people suffer, aud
to which Murphy's death was owing,
might fill other official places with
like dangerous men. s..
The late attack upon one Of the.
editors OF the Mascot By two State
officials shows this fear of the
HERALD was warranted
Every account 9of the attack on
Mr.. Osmond given by the press
shows that the two officials went
armed to attack their intended
victim; and rs the deed of violence
committed by them, it is clear that
both intended possibly to take life.
Fortunately the result was different
than in the case of poor Murphy,
bnt the Anal intent Of the two Off
cials was TO kill.
4 The fact that Osmond escaped with
his life, and one OF his assailants
was killed and the other wounded,
WAS owing to the fortuitous chances
of such combats, the unusual equal
lily in numbers and the very evi
dent fact that the attacked party
was the cooler, Drawer man and th'
. best shot.
\ How many more evidences of tn
reckless and dangerous character o
State and City officials the peopl
Of New Orleans require to realiz
the necessity Of some heroic reIned
9 on their part, for the safety of life
it is difficult to determine. Thi'
! however, is evi lent, that until the
are SO relieved none, either citize
d or visitors, will have any feeling
k safety, for there can exist no con
q dence in the officials whose duty
to protect and not to take life.
