whether clergymen shall be politicians"
Is discussed pro and con in the last North
American Review by Rev. Henry Ward
Beecher in the affirmative and Rev. DR.. Van
Dyke in the negative. Mr.. Beecher holds
that other ministers than Roman Catholic
and Protestant Episcopal may. since they
have not the sacerdotal character, indulge in
politics. He holds that the ministry of the
two churches named can not divest them
selves of the sacerdotal character, and are,
therefore, untitled for political advisorship.
DR.. Van Dyke rules every denomination OF
clergymen off the stump, on the ground
thst "a lack of worldly experience, CON-
bined with Q professional habit of rhetorical
statement, viii produce an odium politician,
compared with which the traditions of the
extinct odiura' theologicum will seem like

Ferdinand Ward. Grants only obiect

 baited the hook with golden spoon, and
 trolled it through the Grant family and every last one of them bit like bass, and got the hook in so firmly that they were
 hauled out. Other lesser fish saw the Grants on the hook and as the spoon was still whirling in the waters of Wall street
 they all fought to get on the hook, and when they were all on, and no more would bite, the fisherman drew them ashore. General Grant was hurt the worst, as the hook not only caught in his mouth, but in his feelings, in his heart.
 Friends are trying now to remove the hook from the brave old mans vitals, and if they succeed in getting it out, he will swim for time, but he will never be the same sucker that he was. The marks of the hook will always be there.
 He will see other alluriIg bait, and will turn and swim the other way, but some day he will nibble again, unless his pis- catorial and financial keepers muzzle him. He ought never to be allowed to control a dollar except enough to pay necessary expenses, and it would be best. perhaps, instead of giving money to him to give it to his hired girl, who would show some judgment in expending it. A man who has done as much for the country as Grant has should never be allowed to want for anything, but it is a question how to relieve him. If the democratic administration should pu. Grant on the retired list of the army with full pay, it would be noble thing to do, but there ought to be some person to draw the money, in whom the people have confidence, so that it would not be spent to support his calves of sons, who seem 10 be a damage to the old man. Let the hired girl draw the money and spend 1t, and let the boys be put to work splitting cord wood, and the grand old man might pass the remainder of his days in peace. Or let the father in-laws of the boys support them, and keep them away from the general, except at Christmas, when they could visit their father, draw their presents off the Christmas-tree regularly, and go back home. The trouble with the boys is that they have got the big-head, and want to live like millionsaires, on somebody else's money. They feel that because their father is loved by the whole country, they are entitled to share of that love. They act as though they thought if it had not been for them, General Grant would never have attained so high place as a man as he has. It may be SO, but the people do not look at it that way. No one wishes General Grant a moment of sorrow during his life, but he is no man to attempt to attend to his own busi- ness and ought to have guardian.

An Unconscious joke.
lPhiladslphia Times.l

Mark Twain and George w. Cable vis- ited Governor Cleveland, and made . tour of the Capitol. An amusing incident occurred in the course of their travels. They entered the adiutant generals office to pay their respects to that officer, but he was out at that moment, and the party, which included others than the gentle men named, disposed themselves obout the office in easy positions to await his arrival. Twain sat down on one of the a !iutant generals official tables. The party were chatting cheerfully, and con- ducting themselves peacefully, when a dozsn clerks and deputies of the depart ment came rushing into the office, and with unusual vehemence asked what was wanted. None of the visiting party seemed to understand the situation. An investigation disclosed the fact thatMark had planted himself squarely on a long row of electric buttons and thus set ring iKg as many call bells.

A Hero of Many Scars.
lSt. Paul Day.l

In his home in Hastings a hero lies dying. His name is General Charles Powell Adams, familiar figure in St. Paul and the state of Minnesota. and known to fame through the military an- nals of the country. The generals case is hopeless, from thirteen wounds received Tn the late civil war and the blood poison which supervened after surgical opera tions.
 General Adams has had a cbeckered experience. He is a native of Pennsyl vania. Entering the great war as a pri- va C, he rose from the ranks to brevet brigadier general, General w. s. Han cock marking his shoulders fer the stars for meritorious conduct on the field at Gettysburg, where he led a charge, re- ceived six wounds in body and limb, and was left for dead for seven days and nights in loneliness and desp air, with his maimed flesh fostering, and his cries for succor unavailing. Finally he was picked up with sufficient vitality left to survive the shock and prevent the amputation of his limb, and, after treatment, to resume the saddle and sword, and to survive other wounds on other fields. In addi- :ion to Gettysburg, he participated prom inently Tn the battles of Malvern Hill, Au- Uetam. and, in fact, about all the fierce fights in which the army of the Potomac was engaged during the Val,
 After the wal the tfiattlai spirit was in- voked In successful campaign against the Sioux, with vast area of territory to cover in the dead of winter.

Uncle Esek's Wisdom.

Uncle Esek, in Century for January.l
 It is not power, but the balance oi power, that Wins.
 The best man living cannot give an undoubted bond for his good behavior thirty days from date.
 Civility is the lowest price we pay for things, and repentance the highest.
 All knowledge begins in doubt, and much of it ends there. Ifmankind had capacity equal to its malice, VIC should have no use for the devil.
 My friend, if you want to make people think as you de, let them have their own way; nothing else will tire them out so 1 soop.
 The line between folly and wisdom is so uncertain and indistinct that the phi losopher and the fool axe often seen pros- pecting on each others claims.
 Hypocrisy and cunning travel together, and they can't get very far separately.
 The hardest man to shake from the ladder IS the one who mounts a rung at time.
 Men ofen climb half way up the lad der and stay there; but 1t is seldom they fall half way down and stop short of the bottom.
 Nature can make absolute laws, but she can't break the least of them.
 Familiarity is not friendship; puppies end all their trolics in quarrel.
 The fox carries the bad news. while the turtle crawls with the good.
 Fame follows US to the grave scratches nasty epitaph on our tombstone, and then hurlies away for the next man.
 There is no satire in truth, and yet a man cant tell the whole truth without being highly satirical.
 There are lots of people who never know anything until they run against it, and then they know toe much. !
 Fools will bite on anything. like frog in puddle. You can catch them and throw them back again as often as YOU please. Aim high, young man then attraction of gravitation, if nothing else, may get your ball into the bullseye.
 Every one expects to he remembered after they are dead, and yet not one in a million can give any good reason why. The poetry of youth is generally the avarice of old age.
 Mature abhors vacuum :" therefore she fills some heads with sawdust.
 The man who never takes a chance is beaten Just as often as anyone else.
 Very precise people have but few brains. That is what makes them so precise.
 Revenge makes hornet respectable, but it is dastardly in a man.
 You can't be familiar without losing a certain amount of respect for yourself, and for the other man too.
 The great misfortune with most of us IS, we are constantly looking ahead for our experience, instead of looking behind. No man can expect to live with the 'irtuous and mingle with the vicious and zeep pure.

Stimulants for Great Minds.

Not all answered him but many did, and among the number (strange to say ! was Mir. Gladstone. That most distin- guished brain worker does not smoke l; indeed, he "detests it. MT. Arnold, too, abjures tobacco; so does MT. Ruskin and Mir. Frederic Harrison, and so did Charles Reade. Professor Huxley never smoked till he was forty. MT. James PAyn smokes, as the Americans would say, all the time. M. Jules Simon never does, on the score of gallantry M. Taine does, on the score of ideas, which are, he thinks, promoted by an occasional cigarette. These names do not exhaust the list of authorities Lord Tennyson and Prince Bismarck are, as every one knows, ardent smokers; M. Daudet, as did Charles Kingsley, patronizes clay pipes; MT.
