An Eastern Senator tells this story
about his little girl He says that when
the family had gathered for dinner little
Elsie was too busy with her playthings to
suspend, and her mother called to her to
come.
Yes, in a minute was the response.
"But we are all waiting" said my sife
"and your papa is waiting. to ask the
blessing"
She came in. climbed into her chair,
folded her little hands demurely. bowed
her head and said in low voice; ~Let
her go, gallaher,"

Ono OF the West Virginia plums in
the River and Harbor bill is the subject
OF derision by the Chicago Tribune. 1t
says: "Buckhannon creek, ditch in
the interior OF West virginiagets $50, 1000.
Buckhannon creek is only little noun.
tain stream, used by logmen, who want
more water to float down their logs"
The TriJuneis mistaken as to the amount
Of the appropriation. Buckhannon river
mot creek only gets $780, 1t is not
much of a river, to be sure, but it gets
very high once and awhile and brings
down an immense amount Of lumber to
the Valley river, and so on down TO the
Monongahcla. This is about the aver.
age performance Of the assisted streams''
in the River and Harbor bill, and it is
hardly fair in the Tribune to pitch into
our poor little interior river in such
savage style. 1t can be said for this
romantic and useful stream that no part
OF the appropriation is to be used for
furnishing water to a dry bed, as has
been scorfully remarked in regard to
some OF these assisted streams. This is
considered great merit nowadays in a
stream, that it furnishes its own water

TIE profit sharing scheme Of the great
mercantile establishment Of John Wan
amaker, at Philadelphia, seems to have
worked beautifully. He has divided
among the employees of his store, who
have been seven years in his service, the
entire profits of u year. He had distrib.
uted S59,l5S 60 in monthly dividends
and added $iO,2Sl o. in annual divi.
dends, and $4,000 rs a pension fund,
making a total of SlO9,4SO 6s. In ad.
dressing his employees, he said: ave
want trained and true people, inter,
csted and devoted people. People full
OF enthusiasm over tho business are a
part of the best capital. But what is
done for employees by employers must
be appreciated, or the whole scheme Of
clevating labor fails. A friend OF mine,
manufacturer, who tried in many ways
TO advance the interests OF his people
had them, under bad advising enter
upon a strike for tri1ing matter. II
took all the heart out of the employer
He has never had the same feeling fol
his people since. When the employer
does his best, pays good and full wages,
institutes schemes Of advancement, and
is only met with cold criticism, capita
gets tired, and once tired it goes tc
sleep. 1t is almost impossible to wake
it again"

It seems pity that itshould beso hard
TO name Democrat for any prominent
public position whatever who was not
either in the actual rebel service during

the rebel cause. But It iseSen SO, as is
proved in the case Of nearly all the lead
ing nominations made by this admins
tration for positions abroad and at home,
from Phelps, the Vermont minister TO
England, down to the latest nominee
for the Supreme bench, Fuller, OF llli-
nois. 1t seems that Fuller, whose name
has been sent into the Senate for Chief
Justice, was Copperhead during the
war. As member of the legislature OF
Illinois he offered the following reso-

About Is years ago we had a splendid
entertainment at McGivney'S Hall. Some
Of our young men gave a Dramatic per
fOrmance which proved a perfect success.
The piece which was brought upon the
Stage was considered rather heavy for
Amateurs, particularly being their first
attempt, and failure was generally predict
ell, but they got through all the same
without a shade of unfavOurable criticism,
agreably disappointing everybody and
surprising themselves. 1t was intended
that the Minerva, the name il which the
association rejOiced, would afford us these
entertainments as occasion required, but
unfortunately one Of the members fell sick
a day or two after; he who had feigned
death upon the stage had a pretty strong
tuSSle with the Grim Destroyer, and he
very nearly went where the "WoOdbine
twinetP in reality.
That and other CauSeS happening, the
Minerva fell through, and for all these
years we have never been able to represent

Councillor Van Brake K, of d., our re-
firing Government Secretary, and formerly
President of the Island, left by the SchOon-
er Valiant on Tues lay for Denmark via
st. Thomas. The taste Of the honorable
gentleman for horticulture and aIb0ri-
culture is well known, and the island, and
ESPECIALLY the town of ChriStianSted, owes
a great deal to him in this connection. For
many years past he has occupied his lei
sure in planting trees i'll the town and in
putting i'm order the lands around the own
belonging to the Government, and planting
them with grass and trees. In this way he
has not only improved the appearance Of
the town and its neighbOurhOod, but has
also saved the island an annual outlay for
grass for the military horses, which is now
obtained by prison labour from The grounds
mentioned. The treatment of the lane at
GallOW's Bay has not only turned it from
a waste into a fruit garden, but has doubt
less. at the same time, improved the
conditions i'll relation to the health
of the town. Six years ago the honour
able gentleman started a movement for
making such improvements III the town
and neighbourhood, as could hardly be legi-
tlmaCely undertaken with public money.
He formed aCOmmjttee and raised SubScrIp.
TONS, by means OF when the puOllc work
was supplemented; and i'll this way the
waste plots adjoining the public School
house and the site of the old Court house
were converted into beautiful gardens; the
grounds at the wharf were put in order;
paths were made on the grounds to the
east of the town, and benches were suppl
ed at the wharf and other places. 1t is to
be hoped that Councillor Van Brakle's de-
parture will not lead to the neglect of any
of these Improvements, the maintenance Of
which, however, depends, 1t must be re-
%membered, to a great eX tent Oh thesubscrib-
ers continuing their payments. We are
glad to know that arrangements have been
made for keeping up a similar supervision
to what our retiring Secretary exercised
while he was here, and we trust that the
subscribers will not fail to respond cordial
~ to the appeal which the Committee is
circulating among them on the occasion.
