Editing a Paper.

Editing paper is pleasant bust
ness-if you like it.
If it contains much political matter
people won't have it.
If the type is large, it don't contair
much reading matter.
If we publish telegraph reports
folks say they are nothing but lies.
If we omit them, we have no enter
prise or suppress them for political
effect.
If we have a few jokes, folks say we
are nothing but rattleheads.
If we omit jokes, folks say we are
nothing but fossils.
If we publish original matter, they
"cuss" us for net giving selections.
If we give selections, people say we
are lazy for not writing more, and Civ
ing them what they have not read in
some other paper.
If we give a complimentary notice
we are censured for being partial.
If we don't all hands say we are
great hog.
If we insert an article which pleases
the ladies, the men become Jealous, and
vice versa.
If we attend church they say it is fol
effect.
If we remain in our office attending
to our business, folks say we are too
proud to mingle with other fellows.
If we go out, they say we don't at
tend to our business.

those who see. Nothing is more in
teresting and touching than the zeal
with which the children whe have
been trained at the Kindergarten con-
tribute their labor and share their
gifts to promote the extension of the
opportunity to their fellows. One lit
tie girl gave part of her Christmas
presents to bazaar to aid the enter
prise; one little fellow sent his top.
The generous benefactors of all good
works have not forgotten the Kinder
garten for the destitute blind children,
and already a pleasant estate is
bought, upon which the buildings, cot
tages for homes, school-rooms, music
rooms, libraries, workshops, museum,
gymnasium, will be created as the
means are furnished.
It. is noble and pathetic charity,
which among all the worthy and nee
essary and humane beneficences makes
its own penetrating appeal. To rouse
the dwindling soul, to open the inward
eye of the poor young children who
shall never see the beauty of the world,
to enable the most helpless to help
themselves-this is the charity for
which this little sermon is preached,
and for which the box will now be
passed around

A Vermont Spree in Washington.

Senator Morrill, of Vermont and his
son, and Representatives Grout of Yer
mont, Ranney of Massachusetts, Gilfil-
Ian of Michigan, and Ketcham of New
York were among those who enjoyed
the Vermont maple sugar party last
Tuesday evening. Two rows of tables,
each covered with white, were provi-
ded with Vermont maple sugar, dough-
nuts, sage cheese, brown bread, and
crackers, and in the centre of each ia
BILE was huge block of clear ice. On
this each guest who wished to eat the
maple sugar as it is done in Vermont
poured from pitcher the boiling hot
syrup. Contact with the ice made ii
"waxy" at once, and it was taken up
on spoon and put into a saucer to be
eaten before it was perfectly cool. In
Vermont the maple syrup is thus treat
ed in the snow and eaten at winter pic
MICS, but the above method is the best
substitute that can be found in large
city, Philadelphia Times.

Pay for Results not Hours.

Labor should be paid, whenever pos
sible, neither by the day or by the
hour, but according to it's results. To
pay a workman according to the time
spent upon the work is the worst for
him. 1t puts premium on hardness
and Incompetence and brings the most
skilled and expert mechanic down to
the level of the least fit. The true
theory is to pay the workman for what
he does, not for the time occupied in
doing it. In this way skill will be
stimulated and industry rewarded.
This method, too, will have the effect
of removing from the trades unions a
stigma that has long chung to them
that, by putting all the laborers in any
given trade on the same scale of wages,
they offer no Inducements to special

ORIGIN OF THE BOYCOTT.
The Conspiracy to Isolate Named Aft
It's First Victim in Ireland.

It's First Victim in Ireland.
A Captain Boycott was the agent of
land owner in Ireland. His policy
proved to be distasteful and offensive
to the tenants, and such was their feel
ing in the matter that they asked the
landlord to remove him. This the
landed proprietor declined to do, and
in their turn the tenants and their
friends refused to work for or under
Boycott. They would not harvest his
crops, and they made an agreement
among themselves that none of them
OF theirs should assist or work for him
i'm the harvest. His crops were en-
dangered, when relief arrived in the
persons of certain Ulster men, who I'M
der the protection of the troops, har
vested the crops of Boycott. The de-
fensive league of the tenantry we're
much more powerful and effective than
might be guessed by the single instance
of combination referred to above. The
ramificatiOns of their compact were
very numerous and extensive. For
example, it was decided that if any
one had any dealing with Boycott, or
those who represented him, then no
one was to have any dealings with that
person. If a mau worked for Boycott
he was to be looked on by his old
neighbors and friends as total stran-
ger no one was to see or buy of him !;
no one was to know him. The effect
of this agreement, when carried to its
extreme limit, was just what it's author
proposed. And "boycotting" has be-
come a very forcible phrase.
The system has been sought to be
introduced into the United States, but
with partial success only. 1t may
have been justifable in the case of
Boycott; but, to say the least, it is
any thing but an honorable means of
gaining redress for alleged wrongs.

The Truly DisIoyal.

The marvel is that any republican
son of Vermont, proud of his state,
proud of his party, and justly proud of
the position Vermont holds in the ma
ton, should now desire to pull down
the man vino has brought to the state
and party this distinguished honor and
position. Is it saying too much to
affirm that such a man is not loyal To
his party, not true to the best interests
of his party and his state, not honest

WASHINGTON, April DIR
Mary Walker entered the Police
Court this morning with a heavy
boot in one hand and a brick in
the other, and fire in her eye. She
made her way hurriedly to the
office of Prosecuting Attorney
Lavender, and explained how that
q twelve.year old boy named Harry
Childs, of Tenth and X street,
southeast, had struck her on the
leg with the brick that she exhibit
ed. She insisted on the boot and
the brick being used as exhlbitsin
the case. The indentatiOn on the
top of the boot, she said, was CON
elusive evidence Of the severity OF
the blow which she received on the
calf of the leg. When the case was
called for trial the boy pleaded
guilty. The doctor showed Judge
Smell an impression on the leg Of
her left boot, and called the courts
especial attention to the fact that
the boot came very high up, and
the blow was received at the top OF
the boot. She said if the brick had
struck her a little higher on the leg
the result would have been more
serious. Judge blushed and said
he guessed it would; but the ques-
ton before the court was how
much she was hurt and where she
was struck. She said her leg was
black and blue. The boy was fined
50, which was paid.

night in the very heart OF the city.
Cries were heard proceeding from
a negro tenement house on Cherry
street, and when the door was
broken in by the police n burly
negro hack driver named James
Caleb was caught in tue act of out
raging a II year-oid white girl,
Bertha Franklin. The child had
been inveigled into the room by an
old negress whom she asked for a
drink Of water, and afterwards in
duced to stay all night, as 1T was
then dark. After the child had
fallen asleep the negro fend crept
into the bed, and the girls cries
brought assistance before he bad
accomplished his purpose. Caleb
and the old negress were hurried
of to jail before the fact became
public, or he would have been
hanged. Excitement runs high,
and a lynching will probably re-
suit.

writing about the recent meeting
at a reception at the White House
of President Cleveland and Sena-

day upon which the latter made a
few remarks in the Senate personal
to the former, says that there was
some embarrassment when they
shook hands. This did not last
long, for Senator Edmunds leaned
forward, and whispered something
in the Presidents left ear. The
President then leaned forward and
whispered something in Mr. Ed

Mr.. Edmunds. Did ! hurt you
much, Mr.. President?
The President. Not much, Sena'
