A Wise Old Man.

The venerable Philadelphia millionaire
and philanthropist, Nv. Williamson, with
. wisdom rare, though long deferred, has
proceeded to devote in his life time q half
dozen of his millions to the charitable
scheme that best pleases him, the estab-
hshment OF an industrial school for white
boys. Some critics with extremely bad
manners arefnding fault with the limita-
ton Of color that Mr.. Williamson sees ft

ter IL entirely above and beyond criticism
and whatever people may think OF it,
they have no right to publicly look gift
horse in the mouth. The charities of
stephen Girard were encumbered with
provisions that greatly displeased many
people, notably the rule that no religious
teaching should be given In Girard COL
lege, but as the merchant prince only
established his charities by will, he
Was spared the discourtesy that now
a6ronts Mr.. Williamson. The
latter has shown the greater wis.
dom In founding his charities in his
lifetime and not relying upon the uucer-
tain power of will. He has waited for
this until his eightieth year, but it is
bsttsr late than never and far better to
exercise bis will while living, than to trust

not comfortable in 1t, and Democratic
candidates get nothing but cuffs from 1t.
Therefore the sensible Democrats pro.
pose to retire from IL. II 1t has taken his
experience as gubernatorial candidate
to satisfy General Palmer that there is
no comfort or aid from the Grand Army
for q Democratic candidate, however
good soldier he may have been, but aid
and comfort in abundance for lsepubli-
can candidate, however bad soldier
or no soldier at all-he may have been,
why should he thereby be shown to be
wrong in severing his connection with

The generalhas had experience which

he promptly advises us that he under.

he finds has naught but thorns for him.
Those to whom it bears fruits, may here
after cultivate its Gelds, the general
says and sensible man is he.
A great many true Democratic soldiers
think with him and propose to step out.
After while they will all be out. At
present some Of the Democrats are not
inclined to go. We notice that Colonel
Dechert, who has been chosen controller
of Philadelphia and who possibly got the
G. A. II. vote, thinks better Of the insti-

active measures after they had made
liberal amends for their outrageous seizure
OF the schooner William Jones. The steamer
was certainly engaged In q questionable
business, aud they could gain time and
save dignity by leaving the matter for
courts to settle. SO our cruiser comes
home to report, and brings along news of
the approaching end to tho Hsytien civil
war, though there were rumors that the
Northern army had proclaimed Gen. Hyp-
o!yte king OF the North, with the title of
Henry III. This miserable little island
had king OF the North some seventy
years ago, who was supported by England
with probable eye to annexation, but 20
turbulent have her people been that even
Britain has kept hands off. 1t is said that
the new king looks to Germany for help,
and considering the colonial and naval
aspirations OF the Germans, he may not
look in vain. The wars, revolutions and
political intrigues OF this little black coun-
try seems like q broad burlesque OF the
modern histories OF great nations of the
temperate zone, though Hsyti has given
US more trouble In diplomacy than some
OF the giants, and she takes more space than
Germany OR France in tho / reports on

heve become so obtrusivc that the old fellow
would be thankful If something would hnp-
pen to ALLEVIATE their affections. He is sort
of hermit, living all alone on his ranch,
where he devotes all his time to cattle and
horse raising. As he doesn't try TO raise
vegetables tho rabbits could Go him no

them away.
