Simple Duties.

After all, our greatest work is not
that which at the time seems to be
great; and the epochs of our lives are
not always heralded by a signal flag on
the eturrent.outlook of anticipations,
nor ale they always marked by red
letter in the calendar of the memories.
The opportunities of doing on obvious
ly great thing are true, but the oppor-
tunities of doing our simple duty,
which may have infinite consequences
of good or i'll, are at every moment OF
our lives, wherever we find ourselves.
4 single sentence of counsel or of
warning to a child, in the home circle
or in the Sunday school, may shape his
course for all the future, in line OF
conduct not thought of by US at the
moment. An approving word, or a
hearty hand shake to a weary friend,
may be just the means of stimulus and
cheer to him in his need, which shall
enable him to do work Tor otnerS o.
yer which he and we shall rejoice To-
gether when the books are opened. A
personal note which is written under
the pressure of a sense Of duty, or a
brief paragraph prepared at the print
er's call for another "stick" Of copy,
may have larger permanent results in
the impulse it brings to its reader
known or unknown-than an ambitious
volume which cost many toilsome days
of research and of writing. In fact, the
best thing for us to do, in the hope OF
greatest good, is the one thing that can
be done now. Nothing that we do is
great in itself. God can use our least
doing for great results.-S. S. Times.

he became very sIvage, and everyone
treated him with the greatest respect,

Women Who Count the Change.

we have q cashier now who is the
shrewdest woman / ever knew. She
sits up there where the cash balls roll
in, evidently kept busy making
change. But that young woman
knows all that is going on at every
counter in this large store. She
catches shop iifters, reports irregulari-
ties among clerks, and detects every
little device invented by the salesman
to beat us or our customers. She is
not spy. The crookedness she re-
ports among the clerks would affect
her department If allowed to pass.
She often calls me up and points out
some mistakes in the cash checks, say
ing, for instance That has occur
red five times this week. Mr.. M
is very careless So you see she does
not accuse him of wiIlfuI mistakes in
making out his checks, but L under
stand her and apply the proper reme-
dy.
"A cashiers place is lard one.
She sits up there, generally alone /;
the air near the ceiling of crowded
store is not wholesome. She must
be quick to make change, and the
knowledge that every cent lost comes
out of her $40 per week naturally
tends to make her nervous. She must
watch for mutilated, punched, and
plugged coins, and for counterfeit
pieces and bad bills. The checks ac-
comparing the cash are invariably
witten in haste, are often illegible,and
if she does not read the figures cor
rectly she is liable. to send back too
much change.
But you ask me do women embez-
zle. Never have 1 known single
case never have | heard of one. I
can not say that of men. There are
women shoplifters, cheats, confidence
swindlers, quacks, and even gamblers,
but woman who is made cashier in
an establishment is always one that
is known, one who has earned the po-
.sition by being a good saleswoman.
Women are never placed in positions
of trust as men are. Men of bad hab-
its and character often obtain trusty
places without much inquiry into
their fitness. A woman's reputation
is the very first thing an employer
looks into. and the greater the trust
he intends to conide the more scrupu-
lously he inquiries. 1t should be SO
in employing men, but it is an innate
feeling that makes men easily put
confidence in men" New York Star.

Webster and the Bartender.

Mr.. Quincy narrated the following
characteristic anccdotc of Mr. Web
stcr The route between Boston and
New York by the way of New Ia
ven had just been opened, and Mr.
Quincy was occupying seat with
Mr. Webster when the cars stopped
at the latter city. Mr. Webster was
not quite well, and, saying he thought
it would be prudent to take some
brandy, asked Mr.. Quincy 10 accom-
pany him in search of it. They ac-
cordingly entered barroom near the
station and the order was given. The
attendant without looking at his GUS
toner, mechanically took decanter
from q shelf behind him and placed it
near some glasses on the counter.
Just as Webster was about to help
himself the bartender, happening to
look up, started as if he had seen a
spirit, and cried Stop y with great
vehemence. He then took the decan-
ter from Webster's hand, replaced it
on the shelf from whence it came, and
disappeared beneath the counter.
Rising from the depths he bore to the
surface an old-fashioned black bottle,
which he substituted for the decanter.
Webster poured small quantity into
n glass, drank it off with great relish,
and threw down half a dollar as pay
ment. The barkeeper began to fum-
BILE in q drawer of silver, as if select
ing some smaller pieces for change,
whereupon Webster waived his hand
with dignity, and with authoritative
tones pronounced these words My
good friend, let me offer you piec G
of advice. Whenever you give that
good brandy from under the counter
never take the trouble to make
change AS they turned to go out,
the dealer in liquors placed one hand
upon the bar, threw himself over it,
and caught Mr.. Quincy by the arm.
Tell me who that man is ~ he cried,
with genuine emotion. He is Daniel
Webster Mr. Quincy answered. The
man paused, as if to find words ade-
quate to convey the impression made
upon him. and then exclaimed, in a
fervent half whisper by heaven, 1,
sir, that man should be President of
the United States y The sdjuration
was stronger than Mr.. Quincy had
written, but it was not uttered pro-
fanely it was simply the emphasis
of an overpowering conviction.

THE BLUE AND THE GRAY,

There was good deal of mixing of
Northern action with Southern sentiment
in the JEFF DAVIS demonstration, after
all. In addition to the New York sculptor
who was the architect of the Confederate
monument at Montgomery and the Ohio
colonel who. was marshal of the day, Mil
waukee poet wrote the memorial ode in
commemoration of the unwilling of the
Confederate monument. And to cap the
climax, Col. FRANK BURR of the Philadel-
phia Press, the well-known newspaper cor
respondent, who was the commander of a
gallant Pennsylvania regiment during
the late unpleasantness, walked in
the procession, carrying a Confeder-
ate flag in his hand and wearing a
sprig Of palmetto in the place of button
hole boquet. Somehow or other when the
old soldiers get together they will forget all
about the animosities of a quarter of cen
tury ago, and. shaking hands over the grave
of buried past, beat their swords into
plowshares. 1t doesn't make much differ
ence which side is having celebration, if
the veterans who fought on the other side
are on the ground, they are going to take a
hand in it. They were all soldiers once.
They are all American citizens now.

IRELAND'S DAY.

This is Ireland'S day in the British parlia-
ment. The GLADSTONE banner with home
rule inscribed on its ample folds will be
advanced. The friends of local govern
ment throughout the British empire will
rally around the standard. The skirmish-
ing for position is over, and the pickets
have been called in. The two armies will
now be hurled against each other under the
leadership OF as eminent political generals
as ever led charge on the floor of the parlia-
ment house. The struggle will be fierce aud
may be prolonged. Yet there is no reason
to doubt the result of the conflict, From
present indications it seems impossible that
GLADSTONE could be defeated. The de-
lection of CHAMBERLAIN has strengthened
the Irish cause. The great majority of the
Liberal party look upon CHAMBERLAIN as
a traitor and deserter, and the result is
that his detection has only served to in
crease the zeal Of the Liberals in support
of the grand old man whom they worship.
They are now determined to stand by GLAD
STONE to the death. The visit of the
members of parliament to their homes dur
ing the Lenten season, and an exchange of
views with their constituencies has demon
'strated to them that public sympathy in
England is with GLADSTONE in his fight
for home rule. Consequently the Irish
party to-day has a strength that it never
heretofore possessed. Opposed to it is the
power and influence of the nobility backed
by the patronage of the crown. 1t is no
mean opposition that the home rulers will
have to overcome. The victory that GLAD
STONE and PARNELL will achieve Will be
worthily Won, for it will be gained only
after brave fight against a powerful OBJ
position. But it will be none the less de-
serving and none the less glorious because
1t will be won in the face of such odds.

CARELESS LEGIsLATJON,

The president fires off a message at con-
gress with the same facility and frequency
that he sits down upon the newspaper re-
porters who are hanging around the White
house to find out something about his ap-
preaching nuptials. Congress is little
FESTIVE under the curtain lecture policy that
hi. CLEVELAND adopts toward that body.
but the public enjoys it. The people are
tired out with grumblng at congress for its
negligent methods and they are gratified
that the president has undertaken to do
that part of the work for them. Grrlmblinp
has more effect coming from the
chief executive than it does from the
body Of the people. The veto of the two
private pension bills was surprise to both
congress and the people. The surprise was
not IN the matter of the messages. but in
the fact that the country has at last presi-
dent who takes the time and trouble to
read bills of this character. It is more
than the average congressman does. 1t is
probably safe to say that not one out Of
every ifty congressman reads one-half of

Citations of the years gone before, and be-
You'd the fact that both are identified with
the Republican party this is about the only
resemblance which they have in common.
Ben Butler, on the other hand, is frequently
seen OIL the floors of both houses. Butler
is man who commands attention
wherever he goes. When he appears on
the senate floor he usually makes his
headquarters upon the Democratic side.
he is still power in national politics, and
the most prominent men of both parties
love to listen to his quaint and pungent OBJ
seryatlonS upon persons and events which
are now interesting the country. Another
character is Joe Mcdonald, or ''OId Sad
dlebagS," who is here as the agent of sew
eral wealthy and powerful corporations.
Both Mcdonald and Butler appear to be re-
newing their youth. They look younger
than they did ten years ago, and, as a
matter of fact, their intellectual
faculties appear to have been sharp
ened rather than dimmed with increas-
ing age. Mcdonald has the heaviest eye
brows of any man who comes to Washing
ton. They are enormous, especially so

head, which has only fringe OF white
hair just above his neck. If Mcdonald
could shift his eyebrows up on the top of
his head he would have very respectable
suit of hair. Conkling. Blaine, Butler and
Mcdonald are ''out of politics." so they
say, but they exert very potent influence
here in Westinghouse far greater influence
than half hundred or more men who hold
important Federal positions, and wonder
why they weigh less than they do in the es-
timation of the public.
