Tenderness of Old Hickorr.

In the days of his youthful vigOf, Gen. Jackson was fond of what Dryden calls "a knock-down argument-a word and blow. But when age and office had modified his temper, he omitted the blow, though his words were still as hard as eannOn-balls. Once, while President, he summed up the Webster ian argument against notification in this style:
 "It this thing IS to go on, he said to Gen. Sam Dale, his old courier during the New Orleans campaign, "our coun- try will be hke bag of meal with both ends open Pick it up in the middle or endwise, and it will ran out. I must tie the bag and save the country. By the God of heaven, l will uphold inc laws, !" he continued, Striding across the room, brandishing long pipe.
 |" I hope things will 90 right, inter- posed Dale, soothingly.
 "They shall go right, sir" exclaimed the President, shiyering his pipe upon the table.
 "Old Hickory, as his admirers named him, was but tender sapling when his emotional nature was touched. The 6ilSAUcSb f616I0uCS tO HIS OOttu Wno caused him to bow in grief
 "Sam," he said, at this same inter- view, "yoG have been true to your coun try, but yOa have made one mistake ip life. You are now old and solitary, and without bosom friend orfamily to con- fort you. God has called mine away. But all I have achieved-fame, power. everything-would I exchange if she could be restored to me for moment.
 And the strong man trembled with emotion, while, covering his face with his hands, he wept. Her memory he always cherished.
 Late one night, the Presidents Pri- vate Secretary, wishing to consult him about letter to be sent of in the early mail, tapped at his chamber door. On entering, he found the President sitting, undIessed, st little table on which rested his wifeis miniature, propped up against several volumes. Between him and the picture lay her prayer book.
 The last thing the iron man did at night was to read in her book, with her miniature before him. During the day he wore the picture on his heart, sus- pended from his neck by a strong black cord.
 Tine worshipers of Napoleon mention 6 delicate act of devotion done by him. On being elected First Consul, he jumped into carriage and was whirled away to Josephine, that he might be the first to tell her the good Dews Butin nine years Josephine was cast-off wife.
 Gen. Jackson made his dead wife a living presence. At his death he willed his property, as he thought she would wish it devised, to his adopted son. The son had shown himself an unsuccessful business man, and 8 friend suggested that the property be secured tothe sons wife.
 "No," said the General, "that would show a want of confidence. If she," pointing to the tomb in the garden, "were alive, she would wish him to have it all, and to me her wish is law."
 The woman whose wish was law to the stern-willed man had been dead seven- teen years.-Yoath's Companion.

AN ingenious mother who has long been bothered by the fastidiousness of her children at table has at last discov- cred a method of circumventing them. She places what she wants each child to eat before its neighbor at table, and of course each cries for what the other has, and the ends of justice are promoted.

4 eUHoR OF DIss4TIsF4CTy0y.

There comes rumor from Washington
that Mr.. RANDALL was disappointed when
the president reappointed PEARSON, and that
before leaving for Fortress Monroe he had
gone to the White house for no other pur-
pose than to point out to his excellency the
absurdity of such an appointment. 1t is also
rumored that Secretaries WHITNEY, MANNING
and GARLAND had entered protests against
the appointment. If these rumors be true,
then it is more evident than ever that the
president is his own counselor and intends
to execute the duties of the chief magistracy
according to his own ideas of what is proper.
In one sense that is a very commendable
view to take of it. Independence is a trait
to be admired in man, no matter what his
station may be. At the same time it is dan
gerous in politics, judging from all
previous experiences of the kind. There
has never yet been a president who cut
loose from his party associates and under
took 20 set up for himself in opposition to
the old alliance that ever succeeded. An
DREW JOHNSON was the latest and one of the
most notable illustrations Of this truth. If
policy of this kind he would have to develop
more ability than any of his predecessors in
office have done, if he succeeds.
But as these rumors come mainly through
Republican channels they are to be received
with great deal Of allowance. The prob
abilities are that PEARSON was appointed after
full interchange of views between the
president and his cabinet, and il was agreed
upon as being one act to indicate the policy
of the administration relating to the civil
service. While the GLOBE would not have
made the appointment if we had been in
vested with the power to do so, still we are
free to say that We have no fault to find with
the president for what he has done in this
regard, but have confidence enough in his
ability and patriotism to believe that he has
done the best he could do, and his action
will meet the approval of all conservative
citizens

TAXING SPECULATION.

Referring to the effort now being made by
the German rechstsg to put check to ram
pant dealing in futures by imposing tax on
all classes Of speculation where stocks, bon DIS
and goods are bought and sold again aud no
delivery of the article is made or intended
to be made in the transaction, the Boston

There are many evils connected with
stock-iobbing in this country that need leg
islative regulation. Germany is treating a
disease that is as widespread as civilization.
1t is easy to suggest remedies and checks,
but it will be hard to make them work bar
moniously. II law of this kind should be
passed in the United States the men who
indulge in the hazardous business most would
be the least likely to give an accurate account
of their transactions. The very persons who
need the most trimming would get the small

Of trying the experiment aud hope it will
succeed. II it does we can follow her ex-
ample. Until that time we must put up with

public and free for inspection. Our cores

F. BAy1sH THE IMPURE STUFF


The Tagliche Volkszeitung is taken with
the GLOBES suggestion that the adultora-
ton of liquors should be prohibited by law.
There was a time, away back in our early his
tory, before people had learned to make
"tanglefoot stuff" that man could
use whisky as beverage and live
to be 100 years old. To do 80 now
would kill the strongest of them in less than
three years. In commenting upon our sug-
gestion, the Volkszeitupg says:
sit pleases us to see in the GLOBE the rea-
sonabe idea, boldly expressed, that the best
temperance measure is to prohibit the adul-
teration of drinks. Give us pure, unadul-
terated drinks, and intemperance will be
reduced to minimum. The poor liquor,
wine, etc., adulterated with drugs, is that
which unduly stimulates the appetite, turns
peoples heads, and makes so much trouble.
If our costly board of health will bestir it
self to Danish pernicious drinks from the city
they will do more to avert trouble than by
their precautions against cholera.''

THE MIND Il GOOD PHYSICIAN.

THE MIND GOOD PHYSTCIAN.
The Boston papers tell of a gentleman in
that city who has had pneumonia nine differ
ent times and yet has enough vitality left to
rise up and say that he ism 'tdead, and doesn't
propose to be. He claims to have discovered
that pneumonia can be successfully battled
against By the patient having determination
to resist its attack. During his attacks he
has always gone to work with a determine
ton to get well, and instead of surrendering
at discretion to the disease, he has put his
foot down firmly and said, "No you don't :"
There is nothing new in this discovery of the
Boston gentleman. 1t has long been recog-
nized that the mind of the patient has great
deal to do with the progress Of the disease.
To one who eVinces determination to get
well it takes a long struggle before death
wins the victim. But where hope disappears
with the beginning of the attack it most fire.
quently occurs that death follows. The mind
is a great physician, still it is not sovereign,
and majority of sick people will find that a
little medicine is essential to hold the deter
mined mind to its place.

WOMEN IN POLITICS.

s'The HENDRICKS family without ELIZA
would be ship without BALLAST said the vice
president, and it was very pretty way he
took to pay a just tribute TO hiswife. Women
are more of power in politics than they ordi-
narily get credit for. A woman is naturally
a better politician than man, because she
has more tact and possesses more of the es-
sence of compromise in her disposition than
rugged man does. And if our public men
more generally had the generosity to make
the same admission that Mr.. HENDRICKS does,
of genius that have elevated them to the
highest pinnacles would be found to be the
work Of another, and that other woman.
The science of politics offers to many
women a most inviting field. They find a
congenial field in politics and often sit down
to it as they would to an exciting game of
whist. Their unselfshness is remarkable,
for as rule some man enjoys
the benefits of their political skill,
while the hand that dictated the movements
has no other reward than the proud con-
sciousness of having excelled in the game.
Every one who has read the history of
MAzzARIN, the eminent prime minister of
France, will remember how this man rose
from the people to eminence and became a
power In the ministry. How that his career
as statesman was luminously bright until,
while in the full power of his greatness and
royalty, was wing to do homage to the man,
his wife died. From that time forward his
career was a dismal failure. The will that
had moved him and the intellect that had
directed his hand and formed for him his
eloquent sentences were dead forever. His
genius had left him and he fell as rapidly as
he had risen. There are those who are
familiar with the tact of Mrs. Gen. LOGAN
and know the influence she has welded in
shaping her husbands career. In the his
tory OF our prominent men numerous in
stances could be recalled where the female
side of the house has displayed the most in
tellect. ANDREW JoHNsoN's wife took her
husband from the tailor's bench and made
him president. Yet none of them have been
as generous as Mr. HENDRICKS in admitting
the source of their eminence.

What Duluth Democrats Want.

From the Duluth Evening Herald.
A reporter for the st. Paul GLOBE met
Judge L. L. Baxter the other day and asked
him if Capt. Merriman Of Minneapolis had
not succeeded him in the distribution of
patronage in northern Minnesota. The judge
scratched his head, says the reporter, and
answered: eyes, suppose so, and Pm
sure our people will find Capt. Merriman an
energetic and intelligent friend, as he knows
the people and the country well.n
Duluth Democrats will not care to be tied
on to the tail of Minneapolis, like tin can
to the caudle appendage Of q canine. In the
old Republican rule this was the position of
the Zenith City, and it was irksome enough
then. The Democrats have been predicting
a change, but if those of the Fifth district
will consent to bend the knee to Minneapolis
they are not the men they were thought to be.
Capt. Merrifnan may be very good man
but the people of this district ought to have
good men of their own. and have no more
dependence on Minneapolis virtue than they
have on Minneapolis wheat grades.
The Fifth district Democrats ought to
kick.

Another very serious waste is letting the
weeds grow and their seeds be scattered by
the wind over the entire premises. So it
goes, wastes little and big, everywhere, and
all coming from not thinking. The ordina-
ry wastes from neglect, from laziness, from
want of cleanliness-the waste from stock,
from the manure pile, from the household
and from innumerable other sources we omit
to mention. Verify little thinking will
save to the farmer much, and the saving
through this means will ofttimes represent
the interest on no inconsidcrable capital.

must use business principles to secure the
largest success, and the one should be as
careful of the outgoes as the other Business
