The Approximate Cost of a Boy.
From the Buffalo Express.

My father never did anything for me, "
recently remarked young man who few
weeks ago finished his school life and is
now seeking good business opening.
This young man, to the knowledge of the
writer, has never done one months actual
work for others in his entire life His life
has been passed in the pleasant pastimes of
the home circle, in reading, studying, hunt
ing, ball-playing, yachting, and other en-
ployments not particularly beneficial to
others. He lis type of that class of boys
whose parents are sufficiently well to do to
keep servants to attend to household drudg-
cry, and whose fathers follow vocations
in which no use can be made of the boy S
spare hours Like most boys of his class,
he looks upon his board and clothes for
twenty years, together with his jewelry,
bicycle, etc, as matters of course. The
writer, while the complaining remark was
still ringing in his ears, had the curiosity
to make conservative compilation of what
it costs to raise an ordinary boy for the
first twenty years of his life, and here it
is:

A Washington special saws; As Secretary
Rusk sat at his desk yesterday afternoon his
gaze fell upon the wOrkmen engaged IN now
ing the first crop Of grass on the grounds OF
the Agricultural Department. Something in
their movements did not satisfy his eye, and
turning 10 Chiei.Clerk lockwood he said
Z" I'd IKE to 20 out there aud give those
fellows points"
"You'd better turn that over to me,' re.
sponded Msjor lockwood. II can NOV all
around you"
" Not mucb," replied the Secretary. AS
the boys say, You amt built that way"
THIS morning as they rode up the avenue
10 the department building the sight Of the
mowers alongside brought 10 mind yester-
DAYS banter, and without word the Secre-
tsry aud chief clerk leaped from the carriage
to the lawn, and, grabbing each seytbe
from the sstouished laborers, began to swing
them in the most approved style. The tall
form OF the Secretary moved rapidly
along q wide sWslh. amidst the piau-
dts OF sn sdmiriug crowd, attract
ed by the unusual spectacle, While
Major lockwood more modesty held his
ewn In the contest. But he did not make
good his boast OF moving all around the
Secretary. In fact the latter demonstrated
his staying qualities by going to the depart
ment after finishing bis stint and cutting of
few heads with the Official guiotine, while
the MAjOr failed 10 show up az all st his desk

The New Orleans Times-Democrat has
this TO say in noting that one OF the leading
New England cotton-mlllS, the WhiteGeld,
Of Newburyport, Mass, has finally recog-
nized the superior advantages Of tho South
and determined to move TO this section.
"A few factories and skilled operatives
from New England will introduce the manu-
tacture Of the better grades Of cotton goods
here, diversity the products, prevent over
production I'm anv one line, and still further
develop this important industry, from which
the south has a right TO expect so much"
The announcement OF the contemplated
removal Of the Whitetield factory Is good
news, and the South will be glad to welcome
skilled operatives from New England. At
the same tine the question Is allowable, Why
should not the South herself furnish an the
skilled labor necessary TO introduce the
manufacture Of the better grades Of goods !?
She would be able to do so had she psid
more attention to technical education aud
schools Of art and design.

Lee and Washington.

The Chicago Tribune, in an article on LEE
aud WASHINGTON, Says OF the former that
'"be broke his oath and turned 10 rend the
Government which bad foStered, educated,
and protected him." II isa ialsehood that
the Tribune thus utters. General LIE was
educated at West Point, but Of course yir.
ginia paid the bill-tbst is. she had no more
cadets there than she was entitled 20.
As 10 the oath: General WASHINGTON
served in the British army before he became
rebel and be hsd taken The oath required
OF British army officers Mr.. IIScoIS pos =
lively violated bis Osih Of Office when he set
the negroes free. General LES was always
OF course believer In the right OF State 10
secede and 30 took the oath with that under
standing Tbousaods and tens OF thousands
OF southern men had done the same thing.
What has become Of the Constitution OF
IliDois OF 1890, which every official In that

officials OF that State who consented 10 the
destruction OF that Constitution and the
framing Of a new one commit perjury when
they swore TO support the new Constitution

THE VICTIM OF A CRIME.
A girls BOdy Found Buried Head
Downward.

A Chicago special says: FOurteen-year-od
Clark Van Beuthuysen was wsding out upon
the bar IN the lake &c tho foot OF Webster
avenue, near Lincoln Park, tins evening,
when one of bis feet struck snOe which was
sticking up above the sand. lie called park
policeman.
4 crowd stood around The bar and men
tugged a~aY at the foot, but could not r.
lease the body, winch had been buried head
down ward.
llo'e WAS fastened TO plug In the park
and the nozzle carried out 10 the bar. Then
8 big stream OF water was turned loose be-
meath the water OF the lake aud moved round
and round the foot until the sand was
blown 10 al sides. Meantime men con-
tnucd TO pun the foot with all their
strength.
Inch by inch the body Of a Young woman
wa revealed. and finally three men drew the
body out OF the water. The BODY was
naked from the neck 20 the kuees, but the
girl had on black stockings aud new black
Kid gloves. Plain gold earrings were IN the
ears.
The giil bad been murdered and buried
head downward IN the sand. Is must have
been great task IN the shifting sand and
the breakers, which come IL 40 this point az
4 furious rate. The face had been crushed
In, aud there was long kniic-wOund 10 the
left breast.
The victim was plump, and evidently
pretty In life. Her hair was dark brown,
and she was about twenty-slx years Of age.

where /. tho Federal Constitution which

where IA the Federal Constitution which
6roRGK wAsHMGroS took an oath to supportf
u has been amended and changed until It Is
no longer what IL was in 1889. And yet all
officers, State and Federal, from 1889 10 1889,
have sworn 70 support the Constitution as II
was when they took Office. Were they
all guilty OF perjury who voted for
oath 10 support the Constitution as amended?
on, no. Why not? Because every officer
legislative, executive, and iudlcisl-took the
FIRST oath with the understanding that he
had right TO substitute for the COnstitu-
ton which he had sworn TO support new
and different Constitution, though he said
nothing about this when he took the oath.
So II was with every southern officer. When
he took before the war between the States
the oath to support tho Constitution he did
not declare that be took II with the under
standing that he had right at any time 10
renounee It If his State ordered him 10 do
so. Nor did northern officials explain when
they took II that they reserved the right to
amend The Constitution. But all the same
the understanding was present in mind in
both cases. and II Is nonsense TO MAINTAIN
the contrary.
General LEES State had not left this mat
ter Of the right TO secede from the Union IN
doubt, nor intrusted IL TO a mere common
understanding. In ratifying the Federal
Constitution che asserted for herself and for
all the people Of the United States the right
TO secede from the Union which was to be
formed by Tire Constitution which she was
then in the act Of ratiiying. Here Is her
resolution:
d" YirqiniG-to nit: We, the delegates o.
the people OF Virginia, do, in the
name and in behalf Of the people OF NiIginis,
declare and make known that The powers
granted under the Constitution, being de-
rived from the people OF the United states,
may he resumed by them whatsoever the
same shall DO perverted to their injury or op-
preston"
To charge General LEE, therefore. with
having violated his oath Is to bear false wit
mel. against him. 1t Is silly-mere baby
talk to be laughed out Of court. General
W4sHINGroN's record is not as clear as LEES
on this point. But the game Is not worth
the candle in view Of the history Of the
revolutions 10 England, 20 say nothing OF
those on the continent. In 1858 the lords
and commons-the Judges, the nobility, the
clergy-all tho oficisis-transierred their
allegiance from JAMES II. TO WILLIAM and
MARY, who. by the way, had no legal titleto
the throne. Or TO 60 back TO the days Of
CHARLES |. Were Cromwell and JoHN

The Humble Southern Republicans.
The enforced expectsnt position OF the
leaders and workers OF the Republican party
in the South is decidedly amusing to south
ern Democrats, and must be humiliatlog to
such southern Republicans as are capable OF
that feeling. Mr.. CLEVELAND, however
open he may have been 10 criticism IN
some respects. WAS not slow 10 consult
the prominent men OF bis party In the
south and give them number OF the
highest honors at bis disposal. lie recog-
nized that the Democratic party At The South
was entitled 10 share with the Democratic
party Ut the North the privileges OF the high
positions TO which he had a right 10 make
appointment, and sctcd in accordance with
this recognition. Virginia certainly had no
cause to complain that she was not duly
honored. From the HARRISON Admins
tration, on the contrary, tie command
seems TO have gone out TO his (HAWs0Ns)
party In the South, "Spelk when Won are
spoken to; come when you are called" 1t
has been frequently stated that the Presi-
OcNt ana MS buNleei5 Nulnh Auo loNat oiiiCo'
"will amply satisfy the just claims OF the
South" In other words, Mr.. HARRISON
seems 10 look upon the southern states
as conquered provinces, and upon the
Republican party IN those states as the
property OF the Republican party at the
North, 10 be used when occasion demands,
and in order to that to he kept alive upon
the bones and crumbs that fall from the ap-
polntment table. The southern Republic
cans arc not good enough 10 SIT at
the feast, but are to be Fed in tho
kitchen on the scrapiugs and are expected
TO bethankiu that they have b<en given even
these to satisfy their hungry maws. What a
result Of becoming apostates for the price OF
apostacy In nutshell, HARRISON holds
that anything IL good enough for the average
southern Republican.
