The Bell of Justice.

Here is n beautiful story which may
or may not be true, but ought to be
true. if only for the lesson it CONVEYS.
In Atri. one of the old cities of Italy,
which YOU will not find on modern
maps. so the story goes, the King
caused bell to be hung in tower in
one of the public squares. and called it
the Bell of Justice" and commanded
that anv one who had been wronged
should ring the bell. and so call the
magistrate of the city and ask and re-
ceive Justice. When, in course of time,
the lower end of the bell rope rotte<l
away, a wild vine was tied to it to
lengthen it; and. one day. an old and
starving horse, that had been aban.
doned by its owner and turned out to
die, wandered into the tower, and in
trying to eat the vine, rang the bell.
And the magistrate of th- city. coming
to see who had rung tho bell, found
this old and starving horse. And he
caused the owner of the horse. in whose
service he had toiled and been worn
out. to be summoned before him, and
decreed that as this poor horse had
rung the Bell of Justice he should have
justice. and that during the remainder
of tine horses life his owner should
provide for him proper food and drink
and stable.--Go!dea DAYS.

NARROW PARTlSANS,
Few More Words About tho Opponents
to Nr. Lama-'s CONFIRMATION.

!
| Mr. Justice Lamar was confirmed
by the Senate as an associate on the
| Supreme Bench, but his escape from
defeat was a narrow one. 1t was rs
narrow as the opposition made to his
appointment.
No one as yet has given a logical or
satisfactory reason for that opposition,
and it is probable that in the future
Republican leaders of the Senate will
be heartily ashamed of their recent sc-
ton as they were after the attempt TO
impeach Andrew johnson of ''high
| crimes and misdemeanors. At that
time Il few of the wiser and juster men
Of the party, led by William Pitt Fes-
sender. the great Senator from Maine.
resOlutely withstood the partisan pas
sions of the day, and saved the Re-
publicans from the disgrace of an ac-
ton as impolitic as it was unjust.
In like manner two Republican Sen
ators from the Pacific coast, with
broader views than their associates,
refused to obey the party whip. and
voted for Mr.. Lamar's confirmation on
similar grounds, probably, that Fes-
sender, Trumbull and others voted
against the impeachment of President
johnson. 1t was the larger states
manship, the broader patriotism. and
on the whole the sounder politics so
to do.
One of the humorous. we might al
most say ridiculous, incidents of the
Johnson impeachment: trial. showing
how a strong PARTY feeling may blind
the Judgment, was the sending of Il
man to reason with Senator Fessen-
len on the error of his course. The
man compared with Fessenden was as a
pigmy to 4 giant. He was the Congress
man from the district which Senator
Fessenden had formerly represented.
After considerable talk on the subject,
in which it was questioned what their
constituents would think of the matter,
Mr.. Fessenden bowed his visitor out.
saying: What will do for you will
not do for lie. and l ask no one to
hold himself responsible for me to my
con stituents. 1t is hardly necessary
70 say that Mr.. Fessenden's action
was sustained and that his command
ing abilities subsequently received an
increased respect on every side.

1t is quite as fortunate for the Re-
publicans of the Senate as for any one
else that Mr.. Lamar has been con-
firmed. His defeat would. in all prob
ability. have given him the nomination
for Vice-President on the ticket this
year with Mr.. Cleveland. His election
would have been assured, and, Of
course. the duty of the Vice-President
ia to preside over the Senate 1t would
not have been an over-agreeable turn
ing of the tables on those Senators
who voted against him to find them
selves obliged to sit under his rulings.
Meanwhile Mr.. Justice Lamar is one
of the able jurists of the country. ripe
and learned in the law. and has at least
= decade of usefulness left to him and
the Nation as an upright Judge.-Bos-

and by both beasts seemed to have had

heard the lion walking about and
whining and moaning. but after few
minutes these sounds ceased. anC l was
not further disturbed during the night.
When daylight came saw the panther
dead at the foot of the tree. and just at
the edge of the pool was the dead body
of the lion. He had gone there to
drink. and had tumbled over just rs he
turned from the water.
examined both bodies carefully be-
fore | left. Such work with teeth and
claws few men ever saw. The lion had
seized each foreleg of the panther and
crushed the bones of the ankle in his
teeth. He had torn his neck in a hor-
rible manner, and had bitten the flesh
of one of his cheeks until y pull would
have exposed the jaw-bone a" that
side. The panther had bitten tie lion
about the throat and breast, but had
depended more on his claws. With
these he had literally disemboweled
the king.
Fifty miles to the south of where this
adventure happened one Of our men
was one morning pushing his way
through the high grass slong the left
bank of dry creek when a lioneSs. lion
and two half-grown cubs sprang up be-
fore him. There was no time to retreat,
and he was too dumbfounded to cry
out The lions stood and stared for a
few seconds, evidently more frightened
than the man, and then went off with
rush. That day, as we sat in the shade
of Il great tree eating our lunch. we
were suddenly saluted with a roar OF
defiance. Our tree stood i'll the open,
nearly Il quarter OF mile from the
forest, and there were twenty-five Of us
around the fire. Ii was high noon, with
bright sun, and yet a lion came out
OF the woods and directly toward us,
roaring as he came and evidently full
of fight. The native called cut that it
was one of those he had seen in the
grass. and for time none of us moved.
However, it soon became evident that
the old fellow meant mischief. and we
seized guns and spears. He held
straight for the crowd, roaring and
growing, and the instant the first shot
was fired he increased his gait TO u
rush. He was among Us in few sec
onds, and for Il couple of minutes there
was wild excitement. Two or three men
were knocked down, two bitten, one
struck by bullet intended for the lion,
and the beast WAS finally killed by the
thrust of spear.-N. I. Sun.

received ii, my boy went to the war
and never returned. l was accom-
panied by lady companion, a Southern
woman, and we had with us a little
boy, grandson of Lord Fairfax. After
pleasant interview, my friend said:
"Will you give me your autograph for
Il friend in England?' |. however, had
hcsitated to ask him. although wanting
one very much. He went to his desk
and wrote, Yours truly, A. Lincoln"
but instead of giving it to my friend.
who had asked for it. he handed it to
me. and | still have it among my trea-
sures. He then wrote simply, "A. Lin
coin" Handing it to my friend he re-
marked. soto voce: That is good
enough for England"
then said: 'Mr. President. I have
brought grandson of Lord Fairfax to
see YOU" He was beautiful boy and
Blr. Lincoln. who was always fond of
children, extended his hand to him,
saving: He bids fair to be hand
somer man than am. Well! my little
man, YOU are for the Upion?" The boy
looked up into MIR. Lincoln's face and
replied: somewhat" Both | and my
friend were horriied; she, a Southern
woman. fearing We would be arrested.
and |. that would fail in getting my
boys appointment. but Mr.. Lincoln
only laughed and said: Il guess there
are a good many somerhats."
just as we were about to Withdraw,
wishing to express my thanks for his
courtesy, said: 20, Mr.. Lincoln. you
do not know how much l shall prize
your autograph, and if you only get us
out of this war it will be ever very
precious" I shall never forget his
earnest; careworn. yet hopeful express
sion OF cOuntenance rs he replied:
You pray for me and will do the best
/ can.
After getting into our carriage said
to the boy. who was only about seven
years of age: why did you say you
were somewhat for the Union?" He
replied: why. mamma is always cry
ing and praying forthe South and papa
is serving Uncle Sam, and l can not
