An Honest Little Merchant.


One day last week a well known
merchant on Broadway was hard al
work in his Office, when suddenly a
timid little voice attracted his atten-
ton, and turning from his books he
discovered a diminutive child with a
covered basket on her arm. She was
not more than ten or twelve years OF
age and clearly but poorly attired
Lifting the cover of her basket she dis
closed tray of homemade candy, OF
which she entreated the merchant to
purchase at the rate of a penny pei
stick. The man of business is not the
pOssessOr of sweet tooth and so de-
clined to test any of the little girls
wares. Picking up a stray penny,
however, that lay upon his desk, he
handed it to the child and told her to
run along. Then he turned again to
his books and straightway forgot the
incident. About ten minutes after
wards the same child again entered the
Office with her basket iii one hand and
big pear in the other. With childish
gravity she walked over to the desk
and placed the pear before the sur
prised merchant. "What is that ?" the
latter inquired. "You said you did not
like candy, and SO [ thought | would
bring You pear" explained the child
and with quaint little courtesy she
passed out.

Not so Very Raw.

A young recruit recently enlisted al
Camp Hancock, near Atlanta, while
the country was threatening war with
Mexico, and he intended to make a
good soldier. One day he was on
guard duty and was slowly stepping
along when an officer approached. At
ter the usual salute the officer said:
''Let me see your gun"
The raw recruit handed over his
Springfield rifle and a pleased expires
sion stole over his face. AS the officer
received the gun he said in tone OF
the deepest disgust:
''You're a fine soldier! You've Civ
en- up your gun, and now what are you
going to do ?"
The young Albanian turned pale,
and reaching for his hip pocket, drew
a big six shooter, and, preparing for
business, said in a voice that could not
be misunderstood:
"Gimme that gun or I'll blow hole
through you in pair'r minutes!"
The officer decided not to monkey
any further with the raw recruit, and
the gun was promptly surrendered.

BURDETT'S BOIL.
Brooklyn Eagle.

When it appeared on the horizon of
the nations, principally CONSERVATION
l took issue with the medicine man of
our reservation. He pronounced it a
plain plebian boil. / said it was a Sy-
rian carbuncle. Then l compromised
on a Bavarian tumOr, but as the doctor
still held out offered him his choice
of an Artesian wen or a Tasmanian alb
scess. / was very anxious to secure
one of these titles. 1t is sometimes
easy to be a martyr when it would be
uncomfortable to have the earache. A
man with a Bavarian tumOr could prop
himself in pillows and receive callers,
lunches of grapes and sympathy. A
man with a boil must get up on time,
put on his clothes and go to work. A
hay fever sufferer rises to the dignity
of an invalid n man with a cold in
his head is a shifting bOOr. If you have
heart disease you are interesting; if
you have dyspepsia, which makes you
much more miserable, you are a nui-
sance. There is touching pathos i'm
an empty sleeve that makes men and
women feel tenderly toward you, but,
if you have only lost all your teeth,
men call you gummy old back num-
Der. So this matter of title for my
lump was by no means SO unimpOrtant
as it may seem to the heartless jester
who never felt wound. My physician
is kind hearted man, but man of
high professional honor. He refused
to make single concession that would
imply an imported article. He said
they came too high for short men.
But the next day he made a critical eX-
animation. He said he felt for me.
He did too; l felt him feel and that,
while my find was still only boil, yet
it was boil with big B and carbun-
cular tendencies. That which we call
kleptOmania by any other name would
steal as much.
Now, that was a small thing to be
pleased over. But it did please me.
1t removed from my affiiction any faint
of common origin. 1t gave my pain a
pedigree, and tempered my grOans
with echoes of the past, which are
about the best thing to temper grOans
with have ever used. The day the
doctor put carbuncular tendencies in
the battery, l swathed my neck in
higher bandages, grOaned louder, stay
ed in bed half day, and bullied the
umpire. During the dynasty of the
plain boil had only the privileges of
fourth floor lOdger.

THE REELECTION OF MIR. Ed
MUNDS.
Comments of the Press.


The country, irrespective of party,
will rejoice at Senator Edmunds's re-
election Boston Transcript.
In doing this the Vermont republi-
cans showed their good sense. At this
time the republicans cannot afford to
lose such a man in the senate as
George F. Edmunds.- Boston Journal
Vermont is small state in area, but
she sends to Washington a first class
senator, and she is worthy of him.
Boston Herald.
Mr.. Edmunds returns to the leader
ship of the republican party in the SEN
ate, where alone it now retains con-
troll, with an endorsement by his ma
tive state all the greater through the
opposition made to him. Albany
Journal.
Senator Edmunds is not vindicated,
because nothing in his career needed
vindicatiOn. His record has been as
great as his Endorsement. There
would have been no opposition to him
OH account of any of his official acts,
and that which arose from a political
act would have amounted to very lit
tie had no one sought his place. So
nothing to secure reelection. There
never was more voluntary act of the
people than that which returns him to
the scene of his great usefulness by an
unprecedented majority. - Rutland
Herald.
The opposition started out with the
expectation that under a cry of fealty
to party they could dragOOn republi
cans into cOndemning and defeating
Mr.. Edmunds and exalting the fortunes
of another, whose servants they were
but whose name they sedulOusly strOve
to keep from the public view. They
thought to hide their real animus by
this subterfuge, and when it was ex-
posed they raised Il cry of persecution,
said they had no candidate, but were
standing for principle, and the Ed
munds men were fighting a man of
straw. With one OF two isolated eX-
ceptiOns, their tactics were those of
innuendO, base insinuatiOn and calum
Nous thrusts in the dark. But even
their democratic alliance could not
save them, and their humiliation and
chagrin are painfully apparent to those
who have been on the ground at Mont
pelier the past week. BrattleborO
Rn6nlX.
The spectacle of senator, violently
assaulted on every hand, his political
acts misunderstood or perversely mis-
construed and misrepresented, his per-
sOnal character wantOnly attacked, his
motives impugned, himself the object
of vindictive assault by "abhorrent and
forbidden forces" outside the state,-
the spectacle of public functionary,
under circumstances such as these,
trustfully resigning his political fate
into the hands of the authors of his
political being, with only the record
of his public services to plead his
cause, is exceedingly refreshing and
reassuring amid the evidences which
other commonwealth have lately fur
nished of the decay of public virtue.
The senator's trust in his constituents
has not been misplaced.-[M Montpelier

A Loud Call for a Remedy.
W. r. Junction Sun

Another of those frightful accidents
that occasionally burst upon a season
of quietness happened Wednesday af-
ternOOn when two ladies, Mrs. James
Marsh, aged 20, and her daughter, Mrs.
Edward DuttOn, aged so of Braintree,
while crossing the track at Ford's
crossing, a little distance beyond West
Randolph, were struck by the down
express and instantly killed. We do
not learn that any blame attaches to
the engineer, but to the ladies only,
who undertook to cross just ahead of a
fast train. The horse was also killed.
Here is another instance pointing to
the necessity of railroad commission
not that the railroad was specially at
blame but that some precautiOn should
be taken with all such dangerous cross
ings. We are too careless of human
lives, and we omit lots of safeguards
against their destruction. There
should be no crossings at grade in
these days of lightning express, with
out q f1agman.

When the unabridged Webster's die
tionary was first published, the schol-
arly Caleb Cushing wrote criticism,
saying that for its size it had as few
errors as could be expected. This
puzzled the editors, who thought the
work was practically without errors
and they wrote to Mr.. Cushing asking
for an explanation. In reply Mr.
Cushing marked 5000 mistakes in the
volume that had been presented him
and sent it back.

Newspaper immortality.
BurlingtOn Free Press.

The modern newspaper probably
has a greater influence in moulding
the current thought of the community
than any other agent; and by mould
ing popular thought it moulds pop
ular morals, for Gas man thinketh so
is he" This great responsibility is
not realized as it should be by the
managers of the leading metropolitan
newspapers in this country to-day.
The object of the great modern news
paper seems to be, not the instruction
and elevation of its readers, but the
pandering to their lower tastes in such
ii way us to increase the sales of the
journals. In this way the popular
mind is belittled, the popular con-
science dalled, and the morals of the
rising generation corrupted.

Value of Advertising Mediums
N Y World

There are newspapers and newspa-
pers. There are calculations and cir
culations. A paper may be remarka-
bic in the extent of its constituency,
and yet be confined to class of read
ers who are little worth to it's adver-
tisers. Advertisers wish to reach peo-
pie of intelligence, means and charac-
ter, the people who make the vital
force of an American community. The
paper that aims to represent and build
up these elements is itself allied with
what is legitimate and most influential
in business and social life. The closer
a paper is identified with what makes
for character and intelligence and the
prosperity of the country, the stronger
will be its hold upon the reading pub
lie, and the more valuable will be it's
columns as a means of communication
in business circles.

Didn't Know His Own Pocket Book

Joseph Fox went to the post office
station E, in New York, on Tuesday to
transact some business. AS he was
about to leave the office he saw a wal
let lying on the desk, and politely in
formed lady who was addressing a
letter that she had left her pocket
book. She said that it did not belong
to her, and it was placed in the custo-
dy of the clerk at the stamp window.
When Mr.. Fox arrived at the hotel he
discovered his own pocket book was
missing. He returned to Station E,
and after accurately describing the
property, received the wallet which he
had turned over to the stamp clerk,
and which proved to be his own.
