THE LIFE OF JACKSON.
Gen. Bingham's Search for knowledge
and How 1t Was Rewarded.


From the NelC York Herald
WASHINGTON, May 10-Gen. Bingham, of
Philadelphia, recently had occasion to refer to
Parton's Life of Jackson" for some historical
data He slapped his hands vigorously, as is
the custom of members of the House when they
want page, and in response to the call a bright
little fellow scampered up the aisle to get his
order.
My son" said the General in his most affec-
tionate manner, ''go to the library and tell Mr..
Spofford, the librarian, that l want the Life
of Jackson
&In five minutes the order was executed Gen.
Bingham was not in his seat when the page re-
turned, but when he resumed his place among
the lawmakers he found the life of StonewaIl
Jackson awaiting his inspection Again the
General Clapped his hands and the page re-
sponded promptly.
sonny" said the General, but not quite as
affectionately as before, what did ask you to
get!'
1.-The life of Jackson, SIR replied the little
fellow, afraid perhaps that he had made
mistake.
But why do you bring me this book?'
Because you asked me, sir"
my boy, where were you born and where is
your home"
Virginia, sir"
"Ah, that explains it," said the General, re-
stunning his placid expression. Take this book
back. l had all wanted of Stonewall jackson
during the war Get me Parton's Life of
Andrew Jackson"

Kind Hearts Under Ragged Jackets.

Last Sunday afternoon, says the rambler of
the Utica Press, saw game of ball, lone old
cal" by four little fellows. The appearance of
three OF them was quite striking One was a
little, weak fellow who had lost the use of one
leg and walked with a crutch. The other two
were in rags and tatters, their hair unkempt
their faces and hands dirty. and their general
appearance that of street arabs, but rugged and
active as they were ragged. The lame boy had
some difficulty in chasing the ball and when he
came to bat made sorry work Of it, as his crutch
was in the way. But it did my heart good TO
see the way the ragged boys treated their lame
companion when he was at the bat The
pitcher tossed the ball ever so gently, so the
batter could get a good crack at il, and he
struck it time and again, sending it as far as his
strength, or rather his weakness, would permit
Then, when he missed it, as he did more than
once, the catcher would make feint of trying
to catch it aud fail Then he made a show Of
chagrn. and vowed he would catch the next
strike, but he didn't. Then the pitcher demanded
of the little lame batter whether he was going to
keep him chasing flies all day. The little lame
fellow enjoyed the sport hugely, and when at
last he was caught out, he hobbled away to the
field chuckling TO himself and shouting: "Wen,
had six good welts out of der ball anywaylH
The ragged boys had no hats or shoes but they
had hearts which were touched by the nfirmity
Of their companion, and hope they will never
have anything worse to answer for than this
Sunday ball game

Solid With His Constituents.

Congressman Mills has proven to be a
much ADLER man than the protectionists
gave. him credit for being, and they would
like to get him out Of Congress. 1t is
reported from Washington that they are
scheming to prevent his reelection. The
fact that they defeated Mr. Morrison in
the last Congressional election, and came
very near defeating Mr.. Carlisle, encour-
ages them to think that by the use of the
means they have at their disposal they can
defeat Mr.. Mills. They will find they are
greatly mistaken if they attempt to carry
out their scheme.
Mr.. Mills has much bigger majority be-
hind him than either Mr.. Morrison or Mr.
Carlisle had, and besides, being warned, he
will not rest on his oars as Mr. Morrison
and Mr.. Carlisle did. 1t is probable that
Mr. Morrison would now be in Congress if
he had realized the magnitude of the effort
that was being made to defeat him, and it
is certain that Mr.. Carlisle would have had
such big majority that there would have
been no thought of contesting his seat if he
had made canvass of his district
The probability that the protectionists
is so remote that it is hardly worth CON
sidering. He represents the Ninth district
of Texas, and at the last election had
majority of over 1900 in a total vote of
about 81 900
Some time ago, in Mr.. Mills district. an
organization composed Of a few Repubi
cans and two or three Prohibitionists, I'M
der the name of the Central Texas Live
Stock Association, passed resolutions con-
demning tariff reform, and the protection
lists have somehow or other got the impress
sion that these re olutions represent the
sentiment of the majority of the voters of
that district. The Republicans, who were
mainly responsible for their adoption, Will
let the protectionsts Of the North retain
this impression, because it may insure them
very comfortable campaign fund for the
approaching election.
In the prohibition fight last year Mr..
Mills took leading part He was one of
the AUTHORIZATION leaders, but if all the
Prohibitionists of his district were to vote
with the Republicans against him he would
still be elected by majority of at least
5000. This statement, of course, is based
upon the prohibition vote cast last year,
and it is quite certain that the Prohibition
lists could not cast as big a vote against Mr..
Mills as they did for prohibition.
OF course the protectionists would expect
to array the wool-growers against Mr..
Mills. The chances are, however, that they
could not do that, and if they could, they
would still need several Thousand votes to
defeat him. 1t can be stated with certainty
that the protectionists cannot defeat him,
and that if he succeeds in getting his tariff
bill through the House he will be reelected
by majority larger than he has yet re-
ceived

Close the Wells.

1t is admitted that the artesian water has
proved to be of great benefit to the city.
Since it began to be used there has been a
marked decrease in fevers of one kind and
another. OF course the improvement in
the general health of the city may not be
wholly due to artesian water, but the fact
that the improvement began to be noticed
almost as soon as that kind of water was
turned into the mains justifies the conclu-
sion that the effect of the water has been
beneficial
Assuming, therefore, that the water is
wholesome, why not furnish it to all the
people. The health of the city is matter
OF the first Importance, and whatever can
be done to improve it ought to be done
without delay.
There are pumps in nearly all parts Of the
older portion of the city. Whatever may be
said with regard to river water it cannot
be confidently asserted that the water OBJ
tanned from these pumps is wholesome. 1t
is surface water, and doubtless contains i'm
purities from the streets and closets.
Why not remove the pumps and close the
wells! 1t is understood that the Council
intended doing so some time ago, but for
some reason or other has delayed action.
The poor people, whose houses are not sup
piled with artesian water, depend upon
these pumps. Why not replace them with
fountains from which artesian can be OBJ
talnedf Let the whole city have pure
water. The fountains should be provided
with spring faucets, so that the water
would not be left running by careless per
sons. The fountain that has been placed in
Forsythe Park has become very popular,
but it is very cheap affair, and in getting
water from it the greatest care has to be
observed to avoid getting portions of ones
clothing wet.
The cost of placing fountains in different
portions of the city would not be very great
1t would be Insignificant in proportion to
the good that would be done, if the benefits
Of artesian water are as great as they are
believed to be- If the council believes that
the water has caused an improvement in
the health of the city, it is difficult to see
how 1T can continue to permit the use of
the impure well water 1t has RESPONSE
bility in this matter, and if the we'll water
is the cause of sickness it is to blame for
not removing the cause. 1t has the means
and the power to do 80, and should act in
the matter at once

Showing Their Gratitude.

Why don't the Northern Republicans
practically demonstrate their love for the
colored peoplel Why don't they put more
of them into Officer They certainly owe
them debt of gratitude. In New York,
for instance, the colored vote makes the
State doubtful. Take it from the Republi-
cans and give it to the Democrats, and the
latter would have an overwhelming ma
jority. The Republicans carried Ohio in
the State election of 1856 by majority of
II ,451, and, according to the census of 1880,
there are q, FOG colored voters in the
State. Where would the average ma
jority be if the colored people
should transfer their votes to the Demo
cratsa Under the same conditions, Pennsyl-
vania would be an extremely doubtful State
in all except Presidential elections. And
yet what return does the Republican party
make for the very great service done it?
1t seldom elects a colored man to an i'm
portant office. Its gratitude, or rather It's
want of it, was displayed recently in the
selection of delegates to the Chicago con-
to put colored man ON its dele
cation if the colored people would
unite upon one of their race and
a man named John S. Atwood was agreed
upon. Atwood was not chosen delegate,
but to appease the colored men two MEM
beers of their race were made alternates.
The party in Massachusetts also recognized
the negroes-by bestowing upon one of
them like empty honor. One of these
States is John Sherman's home, and both
of them adopted resolutions setting forth
the alleged injustice done the negroes in the
South; yet the negro in their own midst
was politely but effectually put aside as he
generally is. How do these things strike
the colored people in this sectiona Do they
not indicate that ingratitude is showna
The tears shed over the colored people by
the Republicans are crocodile tears. Every
body but the colored people themselves
understands this The Republicans have no
genuine and uuselfish interest in the negro,
but they have very great interest in his
vote. Hence these tears

In the red O arly mornin', er the dusk and dew

When the neighbors boys at passes never stop,

Lee Walker, a boy of II, of Laurel, Pa,
is likely to die from pistol wounds inflicted
by win Melvin, aged 16, of the same town.
Some nights ago both Of them attended a
masquerade ball and were very attentive to
the same girl. Young Walker seemed to
have been received with special favor by
the young miss, however, and Melvin
roundly abused Walker, who retaliated by
striking Melvin with cane Each swore
to kill the other on sight ths next day,
and when they met on the streets they
drew revolvers and began firing. Melvin
may have been deficient in the art of love
making, but he was the better marksman
of the two, and he lodged two bullets in
Walkers thigh. The latter fired wildly
and shot by-stander in the shoulder. This
is very pretty business for young boys,
isn't iti They should both be thoroughly
thrashed by their fathers, and then punished
IN accordance with the law.
