Chris Amounted to Nothing With
Him.


ION my last trip through Indiana"
said drummer the other day to New
York San reporter, "three or four of
us put in night at the tavern in a
small town. 1t was kept by a dread
fully innocent-looking old chap, and in
order to guy him bit the boys put him
on that was Christopher Columbus,
the discoverer of America The old
fellow gave me considerable attention,
fixed up his best room in the house, and
introduced me to his aged wife. Next
morning, as l sat on the veranda
smoking cigar, he came along and
queried:
Lets see. What did you doP"
discovered America" soberly re-
piled.
"Oh, yes"
He looked disappointed as he went
away, and in about ten minutes he re-
turned to say:
I've had it all wrong about you"
s.HowP"
'Why, 1 kinder had it that you was
from Washington, and l was thinking
you might get my boy Sam into some
office"
No, I'm not"
You are only Christopher Column
busP"
That's ALL"
"All you ever did was to discover
Americap"
That's all.''
'Humph! I'll have to charge you
extra for them three billed eggs this
morning, and the ole woman thinks
she ought to have an extra quarter for
making real coffee for you. You orter
told me last night that you didn't
amount to nothin'"

My Solid Girl.

Yes, remember well the eye asked her to be
mine,
And how | prayed the graces that my wish
she'd not decline.
think no other mortal ever loved a maid so
well;
1 hadn't half enough of words my constancy to
tell
With her my own the future years with sum
shine would be bright.
Without her life would be to me dreary, star
less night.
So my heart went wildly beating and my brain
was in a whirl
When she placed her hand in mine and said,
I'll be your solid girl"
She was fragile creature then of fairy-lixe
design,
little dreamed that now her weight would
double that OF mine;
That the clinging little woman all so delicate
and wan
Would in the after years become stalwart
amazon.
But. still it sometimes happens that such
changes do occur
And now that she's the more to me I can't
think less of her,
Did not love her dearly should think myself
churl.
She kept her promise faithfully-she's still my
solid girl

THOSE who were not in sympathy with
Jefferson Davis during the rebellion, but
who, now that he is dead, excuse him by
saying that after all he was no more
blameworthy than thousands Of his fellow
countrymen, may be answered well by say
ing that as Mr.. Davis accepted leadership,
he undertook to bear the burden of all
that failure in leadership involves. Blame
worthiness, therefore, attaches to him in
degree precisely as would the results of
triumph had he succeeded in establishing
permanently the Southern Confederacy,
and had it proved all he hoped for it. 1t
is of record also that he was not only a
leader, but an instigator, since his utter
ances for scme years before the outbreak
of secession clearly disclosed his expecta-
tion and his hope of disruption of the
Federal Union. No one will reproach the
South for lamenting the death of its one
time leader, and we have heard as yet no
voice lifted to rebuke the mourning of his
friends. But we can look upon any as
sumptions of sorrow among those who
fought Mr.. Davis as only insincerity, since
he did not accept the results of the war,
refused to invite the sympathies of his late
antagonists, and at no time courted their
commiseration. He lived to see the South
awaken to the knowledge that the war
against it was one of patriotism, not of
hatred but he was too proud to admit
that he knew of this awakening.

PosTN1AsTER-GENERAL WANAMAKER
makes a common-sense and business-like
suggestion when he advises the districting
of the postal service. There are over
100000 persons now engaged in the service
in connection with $4,000 postofices. He
would have the country divided into 26
postal districts, each under the superin-
tendence of an experienced person, whose
duty it should be to travel over his dis
trict, instruct postmasters and postal clerks,
direct postal agents, ascertain the needs of
the people as to postal facilities, and gen.
orally to superintend and direct postal af-
fairs in his own jurisdiction. OF course,
all these supernumerary officers would be
under the control and jurisdiction of the
Postal Department. The plan would re-
ieve the Washington office of mass of
detail that now cripples its efficiency. The
suggestion is a good one, and should have
the attention from Congress that its patent
merit justifes.

THE Alta remarks upon what it consid-
ers a singular fact, that wherever the Aus
tralian ballot system has been tried there
have been Democratic gains. In the first
place, we doubt the statement; in the next
place, if so, what of it? By no possible
contortion of reason can it be shown that
there is any relation whatever between
the advantage of this, that or the other
party and the reform system. The reform
ballot method stands upon its own merits
and assures absolute fairness of procedure
between all parties. But suppose the
Ala's statement to be true, how is it that
the chief opponent of the reform ballot
system is the Democratic party? How
ever, after all, that is not so strange, since
that is the party of obstruction and never
has Stood in the front rank of any pro-
gressive movement.

DIR. TALMAGE played a scurvy trick
upon about twenty American newspapers.
They had the sermon he preached at
Brindisi cabled in its entirety to this coun-
try and printed as an evidence of enter
prise. DIR. Talmage must have known all
about it, but he did not save them the
heavy cost of the telegraphing, by inform
ing them, as he might have done, that the
sermon was an old one, and can be found
in full in the second volume of his pub
lished sermons, issued in 1874. The New
York Tribune exposes the whole affair, for
which, of course, its contemporaries feel
profoundly grateful.

splendid results. He says, 1--WE have found
it invaluable for keeping the system regu-

fitness and oppression with a feeling of ease

FAITH CURIsT IDIocY.

The extreme of fanaticism and fatalistic
lunacy was reached in the case of Ole Lar
sen, the faith curist of Brooklyn. His
child was taken with diphtheria, due to
unsanitary conditions of the dwelling OF
the parents. Larsen refused to administer
the medicines prescribed by the physicians,
because he held that to do so would be in
reference with the will of God. He de-
clared that
'If it was Gods wish that the child should
have diphtheria he would not give it any medi-
cine, for If God wanted the child to die he
would call its soul to him, and it was not his
place to interfere with the doings of the ON
nipotent Being by trying to prolong the childs
LIE by means of medicines. God knew his bust
ness. He gave the child life and he might take
it back"
He thus destroyed free will agency, so
far as he was concerned, and washed his
hands of all responsibilities of life. The
child was taken charge of by humane So
ciety and the father arrested under the law
holding a parent criminal who refuses to
provide medical attendance for his child.
The society of faith curists held meeting
and passed resolutions bitterly condemning
the law, and pronouncing the arrest an
outrage.
you call this free country" said one man,
''yet you step in and arrest man because his
religion teaches him that he must put his faith
in God. We base our religion on the Holy Book.
Gods works are inscrutable. Man has no right
to interfere in the Lords work. What a farce
1t is to guarantee men the free practice of their
religious beliefs and then arrest them for follow
ing the directions of the Bible"
Lunatics of this order ought to be cared
for. The human being who pretends to be
intelligent and cannot perceive the idiocy
of such arguments as were advanced in
favor of Larsen, are fit subjects for the
asylum.

IT is said that Silcott, the defaulting
cashier of the Sergeant-at-Arms of the
House of Representatives, consulted with
his lawyer prior to his fight, as to his LA
bility to arrest on foreign soil ; that his
lawyer advised him to take up the notes
he had forged in the names of many mem
bers of Congress, in order to destroy the
evidences of forgery, and thus defeat ex-
tradition from Great Britain, and the
forger acted upon that advice. If this is
known to be true, then it behooves the
membership of the Washington bar to
bring that lawyer to justice. The profess
sion cannot afford the reproach of such
infamy. Under no possible construction
of the ethical code of the profession, or Of
the law, can the attorney be excused who
aids a criminal to escape from the conse-
quences of felonious act, the guilty one
having confessed the crime to him. He
could not, of course, be compelled to vio-
late the relation of attorney and client,
nor was he required to arrest or procure
the arrest of the man, but he had no right
to advise him how to evade the law. That
is as we look upon the matter, in the light
of common sense. We can understand
that in trial an attorney may set up and
advocate whatever defense he chooses for
his client, but it is inconceivable that a
lawyer is justified by the law in aiding a
confessed criminal to escape by other
means than the judgment of a Court. In
this case, if the story is true, the lawyer
actually advised him to use money he had
stolen, to take up the forged notes, and he
thus became particeps cripinis, for the forger
had no other money.

IT turns out that the Brazilian reyolu-
ton was not bloodless, for two soldiers
and a dozen resisting adherents of the
Emperor were killed. 1t is simply amaz-
ing that revolution among a population
numbered by the millions could be effected
with such slight sacrifice of life. 1t is
perhaps to be taken as an evidence of the
strength of the sentiment among the peo-
pie favoring a republican form of govern

IT was to have been expected that the
Democratic press would object to the sug-
gestion of the President that greater Sc
curities and guards be thrown around cleo
tions, by Federal officials, whenever there
is involved the choosing of person to a
Federal Office. Why not? What State is
robbed of any right by having the honesty
of an election assured? But we are told
that this suggestion trenches upon the
rights of the States, and is therefore dam
gerous ground to occupy. But the truth
is that in the Presidents advice there is
involved no new principle, nor is there
any new step suggested. From the be-
ginning of the Government it has had the
right to define the manner in which its
own officers shall be chosen. and to guard
and protect the ballot-box that determines
their election. Very true, the Govern
ment has not always exercised this right,
but it is and has been an incident of the
union of the States for the purpose of set
ting up Federal authority. That it has
in recent years been definitely expressed
and made the basis of new legislation, is
simply a matter of history in the assertion
of the right.
