HAPPY CHILDREN.

They sent him round the circle fair,
To bow before the prettiest there;
I'm bound to say the choice he made
A creditable taste displayed;
Although, I can't say what it meant,
The little maid looked i'll content.
His task was then anew begun;
To kneel before the wittiest one.
Once more the little maid sought he,
And bent him down upon his knee,
She turned her eyes upon the floor;
I think she thought the game bore.
He circled then, his sweet behest,
To kiss the one he loved the best;
For all she frowned, for all she child,
He kissed that little maid, he did,
And then-though why can't decide
The little maid looked satisfied.

A Preacher in Court

u Gn6 carly Gays OF pf1mltlVo
Methodism, under the labors of one of
our veteran missionaries, VIGOROUSLY
bad character got converted. Quite
in harmony with the custom of those
times, he soon began preaching. On
one occasion he had large crowd of
people gathered by the wayside, and
to these he preached furiously. An
officious policeman came up and took
our friend into custody. The news
spread like wild6re that old Tom YVES
locked up for preaching. Had it been
said that it was for poaching no one
would have doubted it, but his preach
ing gave quite different character to
the affair. On the following morning
the court was crowded to hear the
trial. The charge was read over, and
the prisoner asked what he had to say
in reply. Now this man had been in
that dock so often that he did not feel
at all concerned; he seemed quite at
home. Very quietly folding his arms,
he addressed the magistrate to the
following effect:
Gentlemen, do you mean bus
;ness?''
Business! business! of course we
do"
"Well, gentlemen, please excuse me !;
but If you mean business, allow me to
say that of late a great change has
come over me, and I never now COM
mence any business without first pray
ing about it; if you please, We'll pray"
He did not wait to know whether
they pleased or not, but with all the
fervor of a new convert poured out his
soul in prayer. All in the court and
on the magistrates bench were deeply
moved, and some to tears. But he
prayed rather long, and, good as it
was, they thought he might now close;
so the presiding magistrate said in an
undertone:
"That will do; just stop him.
The officer, shaking our friends
sleeve, said, ''Stop;" but he prayed
away. Pulling his sleeve yet more
vigorously, he said, "Stop man, stop!"
but he prayed with increasing fervor.
One of the magistrates saw one of
our preachers in the body of the court,
and calling to him said, ''Mr. -, you
come and stop him. But our dear
old brother enjoyed this novel prayer
meeting too much to be induced to
stop it; so he replied loud enough for
all to hear:
May, nay, you've started him; I
can't stop him.
However, our friend in the dock
drew his devotions to a close, stood
upon his feet, and, again folding his
arms. said with becoming meekness:
CHOW, gentlemen, if you please, 1
am quite ready for business
The prisoner was ordered into the
ante-room while the case was consid-
cred.
One of the magistrates, moved to
tears, said:
''We have often had this man before
us, but never under such circumstances.
If this is sample of the work achiev-
ed by the labors of the Primitive
Methodists, I wish them success wher-
ever they co.
cit did not take them long to de-
eide that he had broken no law, and
therefore they would very gladly acquit
him.
swell, gentlemen said an officer
of the court, ':shall we call him in and
say he is acquitted?'
''What? what! call him in! No,
never, or you'll have him on his knees
returning thanks. Let him go out at
a side-door, but tell him he is fully at
liberty to carry on his good work. y

A novel incident which occurred to a
atenographer of New York court the
other day will raise new point of law
for the Judges to decide. The steno-
cr.pher had taken the official notes OF
q case tried in court, trapscribed them,
and placed the transcript and the notes
in his overcoat pocket That night he
went to the theatre, threw his overcast
over tie back Of the scat, and the
notes and transcript fell on the floor
and were lost. There is, therefore, no
record Of the testimony of the witnesses
from which to make up an. appeal, I'M
less the parties can agree to make it up
from memory The case is unprece-
deuted, and the unfortunate steno-
grapher is in trouble lest he can be
mulcted in the cost of new trial,
should one be deemed necessary.

Index Of Character .

The fashionable world judges men
and women by the cut OF their gar
ments and the manner in which
thew wear them. In like
manner the status of farmer may
be told by the appearance ofhis farm
and appendages. Neatness without
as well as within the house, neatness
in the field. the garden and the house
yard. straight, well built fences and
clean fence corners, always give an
air of thrift, and add materially to
the market value of the farm, and
all indicate the standing aud respect
ability of the owner or occupier
Straight drills in the wheat fields,
straight rows of corn, right angles
among the orchard trees, all indicate
sound morals in the man who man
ages them, and straight character in
his dealings with MS fellow men.
As a rule, his word Is as good as his
bond, and his bond no better than
his promise to act or pay. On the
other hand, untidy surroundings.
lack of taste in location and keeping
of the house and out houses, want of
shade trees and flowers about the
dwelling, dilapidated fences around
the yard, unsightle brambles and
briars in the cultivated grounds,
thousand and one uneanny little
things on the farm, indicate want of
culture in the owner and crooked
ness in his general actions. even
when there are moral convictions in
his sentiments lie goes wrong in
his actions even when he desiers to
do that which is right and true
Nature mas had him wrongly set up,
Or else he has been wrongly brought
up, and in either case he goes wrong
from habit, or from failure to think
Alright. He thathas habits of neat
ness, therefore, should guard his
steps that he may keep the right,
while he that has habits of negli-
gence, which beget unthrift, should
endeavor to amend appearances
around him. and these will amend
his action in other affairs. Order
Is Heavens first law.

Origin OF the white Man.

There may be remains Of Stone
Age whites, but there are no certain
remains of white savages Of low
order. We may well doubt if there
were ever white sayages; it Is more
likely that the white men were de-
veloped late in the history of the
world from ancestors already far on
in civilization; in fact, that this civil
izatien. with its improved supply Of
food, its better housing and cloth
ing, its higher intellectually. was
one main factor in the develop
ment of the white type Here, how
ever, il must be remembered that
there Is not a white race in the
sense in which there is a Carib race
or an Andam race. 1t includes
several race types, and even the
same language, such as English or
German, may be spoken by men as
blonde as Danes or as dark as Sicil-
ians.
The most reasonable attempt to
solve this intricate problem Is Prof.
Huxley's view that the white race Is
made up OF fair whites of the North
ern types. and dark whites who are
the results of ages Of mixture be-
tween the fair whites and the dark
er nations. If now we cannot trace
the white man down to the low
level of primitive savagery. neither
can we assign 10 him the great up
ward movement by which the bar
barian passed into civilization 1t
is not to the Arvan Of Persia nor to
the SDite of Syria that the art of
writing belongs which brought on

The Cry Baby Politician.

Once more, on the eve of a sena-
torial election, the Republicans who
have sworn war to the knife against
the house of Cameron are raising
the cry of a packed legislature and
proclaiming that if it shall elect J
Donald Cameron it will misrepre-
sent the Republican party of Penn
sylvania.
The hypocrisy of this is as trans
parent as its cowardice. If these
people really believe that their op-
position to Senator Cameron was
backed by a popular majority, why
did they not raise the issue and get
an honest expression of public opin-
ion in the election of members of
the legislature? Did they do any
thing of the kind? No. During
the campaign they were as quiet as
church mice on the senatorship.
The name of Cameron was never
breathed save with respect, and
they ready to make any promise or
submit to any conditions to secure
the cooperation of himself and bis
friends in the effort to make Blaine
president, meanwhile nursing in
their hearts the troublesome hope.
to which we believe Mr.. Blaine
never gave countenanee, that if the
republican candidate were elected
he would recognize as republican
leaders the men who gave Pennsyl-
vania to the democracy In the elect
ion of Pattison.
We believe that Mr.. Cameron and
those who are his acknowledged
representative in Pennsylvania pol
itics were wrong IN defeating the
nomination of Blaine in 1880 and
in trying to prevent it III 1884 But
it is bare justice 10 them to say that
the sO-called stalwarts Of pennsyl-
vania, unlike their cogeners of New
York, buried their preludices at
Chicago, and under Mr. Cameron s
leadership gave their influence, their
votes and their money to promote
the success of a presidential candi-
date from whom they had nothing
to expect except decent considera-
ton. The magnificent majority
given Blaine in this state Is testi-
mony ofthe loyalty of Pennsylvania
stalwarts to candidate not of their
choice
With these unassailed facts in
view the whimpering of the big
head-and-little-wit politicians who
were allowed to manage Mr.. Blaine s
canvass until it was done to death,
is alike unreasonable and ungener-
Gus. Their talk of stacked cards"
is a pitiful after thought. 1t will
deceive nobody. 1t will effect no
voter. When the people of Penn
syIvania are prepared to call new
man to the sesatorship they will
not take tie cue from these cry
baby malcontents. If Senator Cam
eron is ever beaten it viii be in a
square fight in an open field, and
not by masked battery of petit
coated Philadelphia
Ne,rs.

Our Presidents.

Mr.. Cleveland will be the twenty
second president of the country Of
the presidents seventeen were elect
ed and four-Tyler, Fillmore, John
son, and Arthur-succeeded to the
Office from the vice presidency.
Thomas Jefferson and John Quincy
Adams were elected by the house OF
representatives in default of an elec
tion by the electoral college, aud
Rutherford B. Hayes was declared
elected by the commission selected
to decide the disputed election OF
1876. Seven of the presidents
Washington, Jefferson, Madison,
Monroe, Jackson, Lincoln and Grant
were eleets a second time.
General Grant was the youngest
of the presidents when inaugurated,
being AZ Pierce and Garfield were
40; Polk and Fillmore, 90; Tyler,
81; Lincoln, 50; Van Buren and
Taylor, 30; Washington and john

The honor of furnishing presi-
dents has not been evenly distribu-
ted among the states; Virginia,
Massachusetts,, Tennessee, New
York, Ohio, Louisiana, New Hamp-
shire, Pennsylvania, and Illinois
furnishing all the incumbeats so
far. Cleveland will be the third
president from New York-Van Bu-
ren and Arthur being his prede-
cessors.
1t IL somewhat remarkable that
no member cfthe United States Sen
ate should ever have been elected to
the presidency at the time OF his in
cumbency. Disregarding the fact
that experience in this body ought
TO fit man for the high office, the
people have ignored the senators.
The army has furnished a large
number OF presidents, and. with the
exception of Hancock, Mcclellan
and Scott, no military man nomina-
ted for the office has failed of cleo
tion. Washington owed his eleva-
tion TO his success in the field.
Jaekson's record in the war of 1872
was the wave which lifted him into
the White House, and Harrison.
Taylor, Pierce, Grant, Hayes, and
Garfield wore the epaulets OF a gen
eral before they were honored with
the chief magistracy of the
nation.
There are now two ex-presidents
living-Grant and Hayes-and af-
ter the 4th of March Mr.. Arthur will
make third.

As nearly as | can ascertain, Van
derbilts gifts OF s500,000 to the New
York college of Physicians and Ser
geons all came from small incident
Vanderbilt stopped at a wayside inn
liz upper New York, as it Is bis Gus
tom of an afternoon, TO rest his horse
and take glass of gin and water.
The place Is known to our horse
men as Barry's, and is commonplace
enough, except for being the stop
ping place for Vanderbilt, and for
that reason a resort for the chronic
roadsters. While he stood with
his back to the bar, his elbow on it
and a glass of grog-"two fingers of
Holland gin, two of hot water and a
spoonful of sugar pitiable Grip
pie entered-a little boy, with mis-
shappen legs and back awrv.
How did you get in such a shape
sonny ?" Vanderbilt asked.
II was runned over" the urchin
replied.
An accident on the road had spe-
cial interest for the questioner, and
he inquired the particulars. The lit
tie fellow had been overturned He
trampled ON by q fast horse. and
was too poor TO be doetored at home
and bis mother had foolishly objec-
ted to his removal to a hospital
where be might have received prep
er treatment, but he had been taken
to the College of Physicians and
Surgeons, where applicants get mad
equate attention, or only such a.
illustrations to the lessons which
the student are learning, the facili-
ties being so limited as to preclude
anything further.
Ii chanced that Prof Doremus, the
specialist in chemistry, dropped into
the bar-room at this juneture. In
answer to the king OF mammon's
questions he said it was a pity that
this college, with the most skillful of
surgeons in its faculty, and the incen-
tive to utilize injured persons at once
to their own benefit and the teach
iags of the students, was prevented
from doing so 10y the limited quar-
ters and scant facilities. He said
that big building would serve a.
good a purpose as he knew Of in the
whole rauge of New York charity.
From that directly came Vanderbilt

AN ELECTRIC SCARF PIN.
HOW A YOUNG MAN IN A BROADWAY
CAR ATTRACTED ATTENTION.

The New York Times SAYS Rid
ing up town in a Broadway car last
evening was a young foreign looking
gentleman of sallow complexion
who attracted attention. Every
once in a while light would gleam
from his scarf and illuminate the
expause of white collar above it,
The light came from small electric
glow lamp made ints scarf pin.
The lamp was in small bulb ol
glass ABOUT three-eighths of an inch
in diameter. and the light itself was
no larger than pins head. II
gIowed, however, with exces ding
brightness from time to time, and
the owner felt eiated at the notice
he attracted
" Never seen one before ?" be said
to a reporter, who was aboard the
car. Il got this in Paris a little
over two weeks ago. They are
quite common there, and | guess
they will soon be so aere"
Where does the power come from
to light the lamp?'
Here it is" Saying so the young
man took from out his pistol pocket
small inclosed box containing a
battery. This box was about the
size and shape of a fat four ounce
bottle such as druggists use for med.
icines. Two wires led from the box
and connected with the scarf pin
About five inches distant from the
box the wires passed through some
thing like button. which, being
pressed, completed the circuit
