TWO Country Boys.

About sixty years ago Vermont how
farmers son, was sent to East Poultney b,
himself to sell a load of potatoes. 1t was
great event for him, the proudest day of hi
life. He sold out his load, then drove rom,
to the tavern, put up his horses, and went il

dinner on his own account. and paving hi

A good many people were in the dinine
reOm, among the rest distinguished looking
man, no less parsonage than the sheriff Of
the county, who had been formerly mem

fellows eyes fell upon "tall, pale. white.

END OF the table in his shirt sleeves, paving

ms Is a pretty sort of tavern, ANYHOW.
TO let such a fellow as that sit at the same
Table with all these gentlemen! He ought TO
come IN with the hostler," thought our proud
potato merchant. r-0"u
Before long the conversation turned upon
some political subject, some act of an early
congress, and there was difference of onin-
Ion as to how certain members had voted m
on II. All at once the sheriff turned to the
the table, and asked:
Amt that right, Greeley?"
,,1Mo, SAID the boy; you are wrong"
told you sol" e"
And you're wrong. too" continued the
boy, and he proceeded to give the history of
end. W
Our dealer in potatoes was astonished ont

company took these statements as law and

In 1S48 Nj. Poussin, French Minister at
Washington, made some bumptlous criticisms
of the Executive Department of the United
States government. Zachary Taylor, Old
Rough-and-Ready, was then President, and
Mr. Clayton, of Delaware, was Secretary of
State. The government of France was
promptly notified of the performances of its
representative, but the French Minister of
Foreign Affairs replied to the effect that he
did not see that NJ Poussin was more to
blame than the United States government.
This Foreign Minister, who was De Tocque-
vile, was promptly informed that his opin-
ion upon the conduct of United States gov
eminent had not been asked; then President
Taylor turned his attention to NJ. poussin.
to whom the permission to leave this coun-
try was promptly given. The Cli hero of
Buena Vista did not wait for an insult to his
administration to get cold on the lips of the
minister of any nation.

1t looks now as if Lord Sackville's stay in
this country would be brief Mr. Bayard's
first idea seems to have been to pay no atten-
ton to his letter beyond mild rebuke deliv-
cred through the newspapers. But since then
the disastrous effect of the letter on the Dem
ocratic canvass has been SO apparent that it
has been found necessary to do something to
offset it. So the administration has conclud-
ed to punish him. He certainly deserves
punishment, but not exactly for what the
administration proposes to punish him.
The improperly that he has been guilty of
is meddling in our political affairs. But
what the administration is mad about is that
his meddling has hurt Mr., Cleveland. The ad-
ministration should remember, however, that
bis intention was to help Mr. Cleveland, and
not deal with him too harshly.
