Some years ago, when / first saw
him, he had number Of small plas-
ter busts Of smiling child's face.
The workmanship was much better
than the ordinary character of such
articles, and the face was repeated
with sufficient faithfulness on half q
dozen busts to show that they were
all copies of some model.
Are these likenesses of any child,
or mere fancy heads? was asked of
the image vendor.
sEet ees my little girl Tita, said
he, and he laughed and showed q set
of wonderfully white and perfect
teeth.
Does it look like her?'
oh, yees,' he exclaimed, with an
earnest protest in his tone against
the imputation that his art was
faulty.
A few days ago, ! saw the same
man with basketfal Of small cats
on his arm. Stopping him from
idle curiosity, one Of the heads were
taken from the basket and examin-
ed. 1t was Tita again, just as she
had been years ago--the same smil-
:
ing, happy child-face.
You still copy your daughters
face as itused to be? said the writ
err.
The man looked surprised, and
then his face clouded.
You told me once long ago that
this was your little girl Tita whose
face you modelled. Has she not
changed, and does she not look old

his voice trembled as he answered !:

Appeal To The Courts.

JAY GOULD and General Master Workman
Powderly have both declared their intention
to appeal to the courts for vindication. BY
all means let them do so. No one doubts
that many of Mr Gould's financial trans
actions would fail TO stand a searching legal
scrutiny, and, on the other hand, some OF
the Knights of Labor-or perhaps We should
say some of the strikers-have certainly VIC
lated the laws of the land by interfering
with the rights of their fellow workmen, by
injuring and destroying property that did
not belong to them, and by jeoparding the
lives of their fellow citizens by burning
bridges and derailing trains, to say nothing
of the innocent lives that have been sacrificed
by mobs, rioters and reckless officers of the
law.
Yes, by all means, let both sides appeal TO
the courts and there fight it out of their own
expense to the bitter end. Courts were in
stituted for just such purposes and are the
proper tribunals to settle all differences
between conflicting interests. Let mobs,
strikes, boycotts, riots and all other unwar
rantable or illegal methods of attempting to
procure q redress of grievances be numbered
with the past. If Mr.. Gould has grievance
against the Knights of Labor, let him bring
his action against them as he threatens and
as Mr.. Powderly challenges him to do. If,
on the other hand, the Knights have a
grievance against Mr.. Gould, let them bring
their action against him as Mr.. Powderly
says he is advised to do and will do. We do
not believe Mr.. Gould's millions will suffice
to save him from even-handed justice before
an upright judge or jury of his fellow citi-
zens. BY all means, gentlemen, carry out
your proposed programme and appeal to the
courts.

On large. deserted square q ramb-
ling inn threw open its hospitable doors,
and welcomed us a. il we were the one
party in the world the host had been
looking for since the inn was opened.
The storm WAS not 20 severe but we
could struggle around the town in the
evening and explore the dimly lighted
streets. The sultry air. scarcely cooled
by the rain, made the interior oppress-
i've, so we wandered around as long as
we could, and then sought orr quarters.
We found that the rooms had been pre-
pared for us with careful attention.
Everything was neat and fresh and
comfortable. In about five minutes af-
ter retiring to our respective chambers
we all appeared jn the hallway again,
in various stages of undress, clamoring
for tho servant A blushing chamber
maid soon appeared. and was shown in
turn Tho three corchrs, each with q
mountainous tea hat-bed as a coverlet,
incased in u sack Of white linen. Ex-
plantations and eXpostulations were of
no avail. She could not understand
the couse of our complaint, but in
sisted on The purity Of the home-spun
linen and the softness and lightness of
the feather-bed Cover!et. At last the
whole household was aroused, and after
great difficulty the proprietor was made
to conceive the fact that we could not
sleep that sultry August night under q
featherbed which would have suffo-
Gated us in midwinter. After earnest
declarations that all Ribnitz people
slept under one feather-bed in summer
and under two in winter, he was
obliged to confess that there had never
been call for upper sheets and blank
cts in the house, and he had none. We,
as last resort, severally emptied the
feather-bed out of its sack, and used
this as sheet. But for the perambu-
lating watchmen, who made night noisy
with their unintelligible hourly cries,
We would have slept soundly.

The Paw Paw Herald, in its issue of the
10th, gives its readers the election returns
of its own township, only eleven days old.
There's nothing like having the news new
and fresh. The Herald also, without appar-
ent difficulty, classifies the nine opposition
members of the board of supervisors. 1t
puts them all down as greenbackers. The
poor democrats it seems, didn't even get a
smell. That's all right. The Herald, in
claiming everything that is not republican,
has only adopted democratic tactics.

A Step Backwards.

At meeting OF the common council of
our village held OH Thursday evening last,
the bonds of retail liquor dealers were fixed
at the sum of three thousand dollars, the
lowest amount allowed by statute, and
decrease of fifteen hundred dollars from the
amount, as heretofore fixed by the board.
It is altogether probable that this action
will not meet with manifest approval at the
hands of majority of our citizens, and the
NoRrHERNER can but regard it as step in
the wrong direction. There had been no
demand from the people for such reduction,
and the liquor dealers themselves, as
far as we are informed, had not COM
planned of being required to give forty
five hundred dollar bond.
There is no gainsaying the fact that a
prevailing and growing public sentiment
demands that every available legal safeguard
be thrown around the traffic, and that all
possible protection be afforded to those who
are liable to suffer injury by reason of it.
1t will be we'll remembered that when the
bonds were raised from three thousand to
forty-five hundred dollars, il was done in
response to a wide spread and persistent
public demand for such action, and there is
nothing to indicate that the sentiment of our
citizens on the matter has undergone any
change since that time, unless it be, that
there is still stronger public opinion in
favor of hedging in the traffic with all the
safeguards provided by law.
Such being the case, it is matter of re-
greet that the board of trustees should have
deemed itadvisable to make any change in the
penal sum of the bonds required, especially
change that makes it easier for an increase
of business that, to put it mildly, is not
conducive to the prosperity and welfare of
the community in which il is carried on.

Notwithstanding the fact that many
prominent greenbackers and some of the
greenback papers-among them the Paw
Paw HeraLd-kick against fusion, there Is
little doubt that when the time comes tao
greenbackers of Michigan will be once more
made q tail 10 the democratic kite. Demo-
cratic leaders realize that their kite can't
possibly fly without tail, and tho green
back tail seems to be the only available one.
And, on the other hand, the scheming
wirepullers who manage the greenback party
know full well that it is preposterous TO
try to fly tail without kite, and they in
tend to tie the tail 10 the kite, as they have
done heretofore, and LET them soar together,
even if they don't fly above the tree tops.
They think there is chance that favora-
BILE breeze may elevate them, as it did in
1882 when the great and good Begole was
holding the string, and they know that,
breeze or no breeze, both kite and tail are
wholly useless when separate from each
other. The kiczers will have to yield TO the
inevitable.
