REMEMBER, BOYS MAKE MEN.

When you see ragged urchin
Standing wistful in the street,
With torn hat and kneeless trousers,
Dirty face and bare red feet,
Pass not by the child unheeding;
Smile upon him. Mark me, when
He's grown he'll not forget it;
For remember, boys make men.
When the buoyant, youthful spirits
Overflow in boyish freak,
Chide your child in gentle accents:
Do not in your anger speak.
You must SOW in youthful boSoms
Seeds of tender mercies then
Plants will grow and bear good fruitagc,
When the erring boys are men.
Have you never seen grandsire,
With his eyes aglow with joy,
Bring to mind some act of kindness
Something said to him boy?
Or relate some slight or GOODNESS,
With brow all clouded, when
He said they were too thoughtless
10 remember boys make men?
Let us try to add some pleasures
TO the life of every boy;
For each child needs tender interest
In its sorrow and its joy;
Call your boys home by its brightness;
They'll avoid q gloomy den,
And seek for comfort elsewhere
And remember, boys make men.

In the year 1877 some usrkmun who
were engaged in building bridge
across Chappcllo crcek-a small stream
rising near the town Of Ashlnnd. o..
and running through Eric county and
into Lake Erie-found IL necessary to
excavate 70 the depth Of some Is feet for
one Of the abufmenfs. and when they
had reached nearly the required depth
struck perfectly preserved red cedar
tree, which had lain there perhaps for
ages, waiting the time when its little
story should be told. The bark and u
portion of the ''sap' was decayed. but
the colored portion ncarly the whole OF
the wood) was rs sound rs when it ceas-
ed growing. 1t was about two feet
thick for something like forty feet from
the root-the length of the section re-
moved The ''find'' caused a good deal
of interest among the inhabitants of that
neighborhood, and q number Of base
ball bats were made from the log. op ac-
count of the curious manner in which il
had been preserved no less than of the
kind of wood, red cedar being entirely
unknown in that country. The point at
which the bridge was being built is
about eight miles from the shore OF Lake
Erie, near the village of Florence, and,
of course, much higher than the present
level Of the water in the lake. The
question Where did it come from, and
how, and when, and in what manner
was it buried to this great depth2 ?" is
one which might engage the attention
of some professor of geology.

Boston Special.
Wild excitement was caused at the Parker
House at midnight, tonight, by the sudden insan-
ity of Mr.. George P. Wilkens, a guest, from
Omaha, Neb. Mr.. wilkins came to Boston on
his way to Carlsbad. Germany, intending to sail
Saturday. He is about thirty-five years old, of
slight build, and has ruined his health by an
overapplication to his profession of mechanical
engineering. His wife is with him.. Since his
arrival he has been affected by spiritualism, and
has been under medical care.
Tonight. ten minutes after the doctor left,
while his wife was helping him retire, he sud
denly became violently insane. He jumped up,
grabbed his wife and struck her a terrible blow
on the forehead. The plucky little woman did
her best to hold him, but he dashed out into the
hallway. bowling like a mailman. The whole
hotel was in alarm, and women rushed out in
their night-clothes into the corridor.
Parson Downs happened to be with his legal
advisers in an upper room. Hearing the uproar
they rushed down, and found the mailman
struggling with big porters. Wilkinson broke
away, ran into a room, jumped on a bureau,
grabbed a toilet bottle, and, swinging it over his
head, cried out:
II am God! I viii kill anyone who comes!"
The muscular Downs made a rush for him,
picked him up like a baby, and forced him down
on the bed, despite his desperate struggles. The
police were m and the maniac was
secured. He is still violently insane.

The sum OF the recent history Of journalism
seems to be that the reading public is quite as
much attached as ever to the straightforward,
earnest, honest, partisan newspaper. So long as
we continue to have political parties and to be
governed by them. SO long we shall need news
papers which are willing to identify their
fortunes with those of the political organiza-
titns with which they are in accord. It does not
follow because a newspaper is Republican or
Democratic in its preferences, that it is bound
either to distort events or to eschew the truth.
Actual experience has demonstrated, we think,
to the complete satisfaction of those who have
been interested in the study Of the subject. that
the so-called independent newspapers are as vir-
alent in their partisanship apd as reckless in
their disregard OF the truth as though their con-
duct was controlled by zeal for o great political
organization, rather than by the personal feeling
or prejudice which takes its place.
There is plenty of field remaining for the ro
bust, hard-hitting. uncompromising partisan
newspaper. A larger amenity OF discussion. a
greater freedom in the criticism of men and
measures, and. above all, a conscientious presen-
tation of all the news, no matter whom it hits,
these are the increasing characteristics, or at
least they ought to be. of the partisan newspa-
per-. But upright and downright loyalty to one
or the other of the great political organizations
is no more discreditable to the newspaper than to
the individual, and is AS essential in one as in
the other. The independent newspaper will al
ways flourish in certain localities and under Ger
tain circumstances 1t has its well-defned and
valuable field. But it will always remain the
fact that the people, when they come to make MP
their ballots, will seek for guidance in the col
umns of newspapers not afraid nor ashamed to
champion ono party, all the year around and ev-
cry wear.

How Secretary StantonNW Was Convinced that
Army Music Was Necessary.
Pouahkeepsie special.
Old Washington people will remember Hud-
son Taylor. who. during the war and for years
previous, was first chief clerk and then proprietor
Of a bookstore in Pennsylvania avenue. in the
capital of the nation. During the war he was a
bosom friend of Edwin M. Stanton, then Secre-
tary of War. He is now president of the City Ma
tional Bank, of this city, and is the sam hospita-
Bile and generous Taylor that ne was. When in
the national city he at all times had the latch
string out for the leading men of the country.
While giving "reminiscences of Washington life to
a little party of friends, not many evenings ago,
the conversation turned upon the scenes of the
war, when Mr.. Taylor said, musingly:
II remember that while / was in Washington,
during the war. there was one period when there
was some talk of doing away with all the regi-
mental bands in the army. 1t was said that
they cost the government millions or dollars, and
as there was clamoring among some for retrench-
ment, it was seriously proposed that music IN
the army be dispensed with. A little party of
gentlemen. including myself, fearing that such
an order would be given, went to the War Office
one evening to call upon Mr.. Stanton socially, as
we often did, and in the course of the little talk
we had the matter was preached. Said Mr..
Stanton: 20 is urged simply as a matter of
economy. We now have hundreds of millions of
debt, and it is growing fast Said I: MI. Stan
ton. | have read somewhere that music has been
used in all ages, not only as a stimulus to the
passion of combat, but also as a sedative to the
sense of danger, and while embattled hosts are
marching with measured tread to the field of
death music is the magic that lures them to their
DOOM Mr.. Stanton rose from his chair, and In
an emphatic manner exclaimed:
"tBy thunder. Taylor. that's a. truo saying!
Where did you get that9 The regiments shall
keep their bands if all the finances of the United
States go to the ID"
1t is needless to add that music in the army
was not abolished.

kilograms from Boston announce the arrest
OF Mrs. Mary E. Rosenthal, on q charge of i'm
proper conduct with her coachman. Daniel Ma
honey. DR.. Richard S. Rosenthal, her husband,
is the author of the Meisterschaft system of
teaching languages, which he introduced in the
United States, and has been residing for some
time IN Plttsburg. This afternoon he made a
detailed statement of the circumstances which
led to his wifes arrest. He said that he married
her in 1876, when she was thirty-two years old,
having met her in New York after the death of
his first wife, who was a niece of Horace Greeley.
She was then ostensibly married to Samuel II.
Lefevre, connected with the firm of Hoyt,
Sprague q Co., but after the death of two chill
dEen by Lefevre. she found that he already had
another wife living. She won DR.. RoseEthals
sympathy by relating her troubles, and. in a fit
of insanity, as he says. he proposed to her, and
was accepted. He added:
"She did not, however, tell me that she had
run away from her fathers home in Liverpool,
England, when but fifteen years old, with Capt.
Mantle, from whom she was divorced in 1872;
neither did she tell me she had been travelling
and lecturing with the notorious Victoria G.
Woodruff and Tennie c.. Clafln, having advo-
Gated publicly in Washington the principle that
marriage is a wicked institution. Only at the
beginning of last December a servant of my
wife's wrote to me that a former stable boy of
mine, Dan Mahoney, was living in my house dur
ing my absence.
II at once placed the case in the hands of Bos-
ton attorneys, and left for that city. Mahoney
IS in training as a prize-fighter, and with him
she used to go to sporting resorts, treat the
crowd of bruisers. among them John L. Sulli-
van, play billiards with the boys and so home in
a beastly state of intoxication. My little boy,
fifteen years old, felt so terribly about these
things that he tried to commit suicide. / have

A Man Whose Opportunities Were Destroyed
by Prevailing Business Methods.
f.. A. Burr's New York Letter.
It is singular how men who have held high
places in life fall by the roadside. Isaw General
Tom Brady to-day at the Aston House. A friend
of his tells me that he has been poor ever since
the star-route trials. in which he was a promi-
nent figure. He has been at the down town
hotel where / saw him ever since last July, hang
ing on by the eye-lids, waiting for something to
turn up. 1t has been a marvel to many of his
friends how he has lived. Yet in this METROPOLIS
it is easier for a man to get enough to eat or
drink than in any other place [ ever knew. For
nearly a year Brady has stayed at this hotel, I'M
til people have begun to wonder whether or not
he had entirely lost his grip on business
life. His friends tell me that he is upon
his feet again, and has just sold his interest in a
railroad franchise, running from GAINESVILLE to
the Ohio river. The same people who are in
terested in him say that he is now going to
leave New York and go down to Westmoreland
county, Virginia. where has a FIVE hundred-acre
farm. stretched along the east coast. Here Gen.
Brady. who was a good soldier and successful
politician, is expected to forget the Injustice Of
men, and the history of speculation that followed
the war OF which he was a part. The star route
trials aud the romance Of politics, which they re-
vived, are becoming ancient history. Whether
Brady was guilty or not is not a question for
discussion now. If he was, other men who
shared the same view of politics as him
self were accessories before and after the
fact. Brady was q power in the very heart of
the speculative era, and he grew very rich in
playing stocks. Once he was a large holder of
Bell Telephone securities, and one of the boldest
operators on the street. 1t cost him all that he
had made by hazard to keep out of the ~peniten-
tiary; and when he was declared by a jury mot
guilty" he was comparatively a poor man. If
he has made a few thousand dollars and will GO
down in Virginia and become a quiet citizen. the
country will soon forget the scandal that is at
tached to his name. Brady has grown gross,
very gross, within the last few years, and his
face is so broad and fabby that it is almost for
bidding. Here is a man with fair instincts and
great opportunities who has been destroyed by
the business methods of the present era. How
lonesome he will be Town on the Virginia shore

seen that, if 1000 negroes emierated from the
