arose the sonorous and stentorian voice
of the venerable professor: "Port, Caius,

was instantly obeyed, in still more
energetic voice: "Optime, Johannesl"
then, suddenly recollecting himself,

Willing to Shovel.

Fifteen years ago young man of
good education went from the East to
one of the far western states TO seek
his fortune, or rather to make it. He
found himself in the capital without
friends or acquaintance, and with not
much money. He applied to one of the
leading business men for employment.
The gentleman asked him few ques-
tions, then told him that he knew of no
vacancy where he could turn his educa-
ton to advantage. "But if you are
willing to shovel" said he, "you can
work out my road tax for me, and 1 will
pay you dollar" The offer was ac-
cepted, and the next day the young
man went out on the public highway
and worked side by side with Cinnamon
and other common day laborers. AT
night he presented himself to his en-
ployer, and the latter handed him sill
yer dollar, then said to him, " have a
log camp up in the mountains; if you
choose to coup there and work with the
men getting out logs, l will pay you
good wages" This offer was promptly
accepted also, and for several weeks
this young man, fresh from college,
worked with the choppers and shared
their rude campfire. AT the end of that
time the owner called, to look after his
hands and see how the work was pro-
crossing. Just before mounting his
horse to return, he said to our young
friend, "There is to be a competitive
examination next week among the APP
plicants for the place of head teacher in
our city schools. You might come down
and stand your chance" This hint
was not lost on him. When the exam
ination opened he was on hand, and
though the competition was long and Sc
we're he won. The next Monday school
opened, and he assumed his new duties
with the energy and thoroughness
which had heretofore characterized
him. AT the same time he began the
study of law, and continued it until he
was admitted to the bar. During the
years that have passed since then he
has risen step by step in his profession
until now he has practice amounting
to thousands of dollars year, and fills
high place of honor and trust. He
still retains the silver dollar which he
received for working on the road, and
is proud of the memento of the time
when he was willing to Showcase
lected.

HOADLY ON MOVES.
How He Happened to Recommend
His appointment.

COLUMBUS, o., July 10.-Gov. Hoadly
said last night that on being informed,
on June 80, by the President and Secre-
tary Lamar that it was desired to give
the Republicans one of three members
of the government directorate of the
Union Pacific railway, he recommend
ed Gen. Noyes, who had been a per-
sonal friend of his for thirty years. He
did so, remembering that Gen. Noyes
had been seriously wounded in the
service of his country, remembering
also his handsome treatment of Gov.
Allen after the latter had defeated him
that there was no Ohio Republican of
equal prominence who would be less
Objectionable to the Democracy of the
State.
The connection with the Florida
case did not occur to his mind, per-
haps because he had always been as
sured by Col, Chas. w. Wooley, who
was on the ground, that Gen. Noyes
was in no respect blameworthy for any
thing that occurred in Florida. He
had always regarded w. e. Chandler
as the chief sinner in that matter.
Another circumstance, perhaps, con-
tributed to his overlooking Gen. Noyes'
action in the Florida matter, namely
the fact that when the General return
ed from France to testify regarding that
very matter, a handsome dinner was
given him by an eminent Democratic
citizen, at which he Gov. Hoadly) and
many leading Democrats were present,
and he had never supposed since that
time that the Democracy had any
quarrel with Gen. Noyes. II was only
fair to say, however, that had the
Florida incident occurred to his mind
he would, as a matter of good faith,
have called attention to it. Gen.
Noyes' declination Of the appointment
was unsolicited and was rendered in
order not to subject the President to
any embarrassment.
