Rule in the Household.

1t is to DO expected that parents will
do their duty to their children, and so
very few commands to parents are
found until Paul bids them not to pro-
woke their children to wrath. But it is
not so much to be expected that chill
dren win naturally be obedient to their
parents. So the duty of obedience of
children is put even into the Deculogue
-"Honor thy father and thy mother
and the New Testament repeats it,
and declares that its promise of long
life makes it the first commandment
with promise. We don't remember
any command in the Bible for parents
to obey their children; and yet, if the
public impression does not err, there
arc u great many cases nowadays in
which the order is reversed, and 1t is
the child that orders the parents about.
and rules the household. If children
do not obey it is the parents fault.
They should have begun before the
child could talk, and taught it that its
whims are not to be respected, that its
crying will not force submission, but

The Probable Ohio Programme.

1t must have been weak array of
facts indeed that would not demand OF
three such stalwart partisans rs Sena-
tors Teller, Evarts and Logan an in
vestigation in the interest of Ohio Re-
publcans and general party capital.
But the proofs submitted fer their con-
s;dcration were too ilmsy, and, de-
spite the appeal of Senator Sherman,
the special pleading of Congressman
Little and Butterworth, and the wild
tomtoms of the one hundred Republic
an editors of Ohio, these three Sena-
tors had to join four Democrats in
dismissing the charges of Editor Don
avin from the consideration of the
Senate.
1t is now in order for NJ. Halstead to
make the evening sky lurid with the
hot breath of his fiery indignation.
From the Western Reserve to the
slums of Hamilton County the one
hundred Republican editors of Ohio
should make the State rcsound with
dcnunciations of Teller, Evarts and
Logan-false Senators and recreant
Republicans. There will be 'hub-
bub wild" in Buckeyedom for nine
days; M. Halstead will run up the flag
of secession and loosen his moorings
to the Union; Senator Sherman will
fume and Ben Butterworth will bel
low, and then-Ohio will take every
thing that comes in her Chicago

ing induced by corrupt means to vote foi

inquiry took a wider range. There was evil
dcncc tending to show that Mr.. Paync's name
was not publicly suggested MS q candidate for
Senator until after the State election; that 1t
was hot very prominently suggested until
shortly before his election In january; that
many persons who had been supposed to
favor Peudieton voted for Payne; that there
was Il widespread belief that corrupt means
were used to procure tho result; that one
mombcr was offered u large sum of money for
his vote; that there were hcarsay statements
charging corruption as to several others; that
two members of the Legislature received
large sums OF money about the time OF the
election. of which being called as witnesses
they gave no satisfactory account: chat tho

FARoESe FowLERs,
Bird Catching as Carried On by the Oar
Ing Northern Islanders.

Ing Northern IsInndcrs.
A party Of twelve men working in
combination and rotation will net be-
tween three and four thousand birds
in day, valued at penny apiece; and
u little later in the season you may SEQ
these birds hanging by hundreds at
time in Farce outhouscs, there to dry
after fashion for future consumption,
A native Farocsc would consider he was
dining luxuriously on half dozen of
these shrivclcd anatomics stcwcd or
baked in whale-fat. But, even apart
from the whale liqueur," to n stranger
the birds DO not especially rccommc nd
themselves. The manner in which u
Farce fowler goes to work is rather in
teresting. He has primarily to consider
the wind, inasmuch as this is the chief
assistant force which he presses into
his service. If the wind be favorable
he takes his long net, mounted on u
stout wooden handle and frame, and
goes to that particular cleft or crevice
in the sea rocks which he knows to offer
a chance Of sport. Down here lie
carefully chambers, until he finds good
standing and working room where
the birds are bustling past him before
the wind. It is then matter of mus
cles and routine. By barring the pas
sage with his net he inevitably catches
all the birds that continue their flight
through the rift, and his attributes then
must be mainly those of strength and
endurance. OF course, not everywhere
can fowler attain to his perch by the
exclusive use of his legs. Infinite pluck
and nerve are both necessary. And so
honorable calling in youth is that of a
fowler considered that you may hear
grave and gray men of means and posi-
ton recounting with sparkling eyes the
adventures of their younger days, on
such and such rock, with an under
stood. if not uttered, regret that such
days are over and passed for them. A
member of the Lagthing. or Farce Par
lament, was delighted, for instance, to
tell me the tale of some of his early
tricks on the rocks by Sandoe. A cur.
Gus custem used to prevail here with
regard to the fowlers. If one of them,
in the exercise of his vocation, hap
pened to slip, fall and kill himself
thereby the body was not recovered by
his comrades. They probably looked
upon the accident as visitation o.
God. Nowadays they are more enlight
erGS. and therefore more humane -

THE AUTOGRAPHS RAGE.
How the President Bends. Philosophical
1y, to the Unceasing Demand In This


How the President Bends, Philosophical
~, to the Unceasing Demand In This
Line.
The small boy with the autograph
album is prominent and busy figure
about the capitol now. The rage for
autographs, It seems will never cease.
Great people from the President down
through the various grades of public
life are constantly pcstered for their
autographs. Every day the visitor to
the White House may see pile of let
ters upon the desk of one of the pri-
vate secretaries with the abreviation
"auto" written upon each cnvcl-
ope. 1t means that they contain
requests for autographs. The num-
bcr of these letters received at the
White House in year may be counted
by thousands. Those that come now,
contain not only request for the Pres
ident's autograph, but some of them
ask for that of his bride. These latter
requests are seldom complied with, for
or to yield to the demand for accurate
portraits of Mrs. Cleveland, and has
consented to their sale under certain
restrictions, it has not been thought
advisable to encourage the public in n
miscellaneous demand for autographs.
The President continues, however, to
give few minutes occasionally to graf
| flying the requests of the many appli-
cants for this class of favors. The Pres
ident is a good deal of philosopher,
and after entering the White House
decided that he could do more to
grant personal pleasure to large
number of people in Il brief space
of time by receiving those who
called to pay their respects, and writ
ing his autograph for those dcsir-
ing them, than in any other manner;
and while he does not particularly en-
JOY this sort of thing he submits grace
fully. So the hand-shaker and auto
graph fiends are generally successful
in their raids upon the President. Not
that anybody can march up to him ut
any time and successfully demand his
autograph, but that the reasonable re-
quests received by mail are generally
responded to. Usually these letters
are laid away until pretty good lot
of them accumulatcs, and until the
President has time to attend to them.
Charley Letter, the Presidents usher,
is the autograph hunters friend. The
letters are turned over to him, and
when he can catch the President with
q moment OF time to spare he lays
bundle of cards before him, and he
writes "Hrover Cleveland, Grover
Cleveland until his arm gets tired or
his other and more important duties
take his attention. Then Charley takes
the precious autographs and distributes
them by mail to the applicants. Often
there are personal applications by the
owners of autograph albums, and they
are generally directed to leave them
with Charley, who presents them at
the same time he does the cards for the
Presidents sine manual Cincinnati

Increased Telegraph Service.

tits difficult to realize how very gen.
eral is the use of the telegraph CONF
pared with former periods. Since the
Government took possession of the tele-
graph in Great Britain, record mas
been kept of the number of telegraph
messages sent yearly. In 1870, there
We're 100000 messages; in 1875, 49,
100000; in 1880, 10000, 600; in 1885,
"a, 100000; this does not include tho
press-messnges, which have increased
nearly q thousandfold, due to the great
er cheapness of the Government service
over that of the companies. Popula-
ton does not increase rapidly in Great
Britain, while it does in this country,
and the growth of the telegraph service
here would be enormous, if we had tho
cheap rates such as obtain in the Gov
ernment service of Europe. 1t was sup
posed that the telephone would diminish
the number of telegraphic messages,
but it seems to have had quite the OPP
posite effect. DemoreSts Monthlu.
