 Senator Sherman has been indulging in some entertaining "reminiscences of his former associates in congress, and he re- calls the conduct of Thaddeus Stevens in the long speakership contest of 1859, when for eight weeks the house balloted for speaker. MT. Sherman's friends stuck to him nearly all this time, and they were willing to abandon him only when they were urged to do so. Then, all excepting two, agreed to vote for anyone else he would name, these two being MT. Stevens and MT. Spinner. They refused to com promise on anyone, and Thad Stevens said he would vote for Sherman till the crack of doom. Notwithstanding this, MT. Sher- man picked out Pennington of New Jersey as the candidate, but to bring about the election Stevens had to vote for Penning- ton. AS he did so, somebody rushed over to him and said: ''Mr. Stevens, thought you had sworn to vote for Sherman till the crack of dooma" "Well,"s whispered Stevens, as he pulled the man over and put his mouth to his ear, "I think hear it cracking"

Manners of Children.
From the Christian Union. l

One of the serious mistakes made by mothers in training their children is in supposing that careful habits can be culti- vated in careless surroundings. A ragged or worn carpet, so little valued by the mother that grease or ink spots can be left on it without causing comment, may be- come moral calamity. Tying the child up in bib, and giving it liberty to spill its food when eating, is responsible for bad table habits in many men and women whom We meet. A child who is made to eat its food carefully in s room where the furnishings are respected, where penalty will follow carelessness, naturally acquires careful, refined manners. Many mother spends more time repairing damages-the results of careless habits, due largely to the furnishings in the dining roon-than she would need to spend in setting table carefully and keeping the room in order, so that it's order and neatness commanded the respect of the children.
 The ounce of prevention is worth several | pounds of cure in the training of children | and it is a pity that the ounce of proven | tion is not administered in the infinite
 simal doses necessary in early childhood
 rather than in the radical doses necessary | to overcome neglect in matters that ar, never minor-for manners and habits mari

The Providence Journal thinks it begins to look as if the only feasible settlement of the gubernatorial diff culty would be annexation to Rhode Island If any more inducement to hasten a settlement were needed this prospect would furnish it, but it is comforting to think that at last the necessity of a settlement appears to be realized and that both parties to the con- troversy are earnestly and honestly at work to bring it about. The agreement ot counsel in the quo warranto cases to leave out all contention concerning minor issues and come at once to the point is about the most encouraging thing that has happened during the whole dispute. The case will come before the Supreme court as soon as pos sible, and unless the court should decide that it cannot interfere (which is not thought probable), decision may be ex- pected soon. Whatever that decision is il will be accepted with cheerfulness on one side and resignation on the other. There will be no disposition to make any further trouble
 We congratulate the people of the State on the fact that the whole matter will soon be where it ought to have been long ago in the courts. It was evident early in the contest that the legislature couldn't and wouldn't do anything.

THE LOYAL VOLUNTEERS.

The Society of Loyal Volunteers de- serves attention. It is composed of wal veterans who do not think that the chief duty of an old soldier is to draw a pen sion. It aims to be, first, comprehen- sive and effective society for the purpose of developing, Illustrating and maintain ing high standard of patriotic sentiment and duty of loyalty to be inherited ol accepted with the rights of citizenship second, an efectual safeguard for the ex pression of the nations gratitude to those who may have suffered material lost while performing the duties of loyalty ir the public service; third, an agent of ex precision and action, designed to remove from party politics measures providing for those honorably entitled to the nations care, and to destroy the industry ot prosecuting claims against the govern ment in the name of it's benefciaries, who should receive the full amount paid by government on their account not as collection forced by process of law, bu as cordial recognition of honorable ser vice.
 This society ought to do some good. I has been noticeable for some time pas that the veterans are not a unit in favor O service pensions or even of pensions lav ishly and extravagsntly distributed with out much reference to merit, and this so ciety may create new sentiment in favo of reasonable action in the premises, whil reviving the original and truer conception of real loyalty. No good citizen begrudg es the deserving pensioners that which i paid them by grateful country, but it i undeniable that there is a good deal to l much business about the pension business

 Benefits of Schools for the Insane.
 As curable cases and those most likely to recover are the ones who generally attend school, the direct curative influences can not be accurately estimated; but, as might be expected, the most encouraging results are met with in the young and in those whose insanity has been of comparatively short duration. I can recall two cases where the person could not read or write before becoming insane but became fairly proficient in both before returning home. Three others also occur to me who ap- peared to be in the depths of dementia, but were, after several days of patient trial, made to feel an interest in "puzzle map, and each went on uuinterruptedly to re- covery and home.
 Another patient is the terror of the ward in which she stays until 10 o'clock in the morning, when she goes quietly to school and remains for two hours one of the most interested of them ali. After leaving the school she again becomes ugly and irrita- ble, and it is only the fear of being kept away from it that makes her at all con- trollsble. Surely these scattered instances show results sufficient to justify the efforts made; but 1 am sure that, even where the results are not so marked, the school is at least an important adjunct to employment, games, out of door exercise and amuse- ments.

ing harm to her babies, had carried them of to some safe hiding place. In vain I tried to find her harbor of refuge. She would come to the house for her breakfast, dinner and supper, but when I followed her she would lead me chase across the fields, and if she could not give me the slip she would return to the house and calmly lie down and pretend to sleep.
 "WeG, this went on for more than 6 week. when one day as I was sitting out side on the platform, painting study of 6 frog which intended to put in a picture, l saw Josephine coming toward me carry ing something in her mouth. She came to me and placed at my feet kitten, dead, cold and stark. She gazed at me beseech- ingly out of her large, lovely eyes, and licked the kitten all over, looking at me again with an expression so human that I felt my eyes moisten. When I picked up the kitten I discovered little cut on the side of it's neck. Of course I could do nothing for the poor mother, who, while I held her baby, rubbed herself against my legs, all the time looking up with her great grief-hlled eyes. When 1 put the poor kitten down again she seemed to realize that the case was hopeless, for she took it up and carried it to the root of a tree in the orchard, where she left it. The next morning while at breakfast Josephine brought another dead kitten, and the next day another, each with the same fatal cut on the neck; and then, and only then, did she allow me to follow her to where she had carried her kittens under the barn, and where each night & weasel had visited them and left her but one baby out of four to bring up."

AN ANGORA CAT.
An ArtiktsR Pet.


 "You are surprised that you don't see any sketches of Angoras. Ah, they are the noblest and the most beautiful of all cats, but they are hard to get and expen- sive. I brought two from Paris the last time I went abroad. One was shot, I think, by some one who mistook him in the bushes for a skunk; and the other, sJosephine,' we called her, grew so tyran- nical and overbearing that it was hard to do anything with her. She would eat only such delicacies as were hard to get in a country place like this, and would not be kept in O nights. She was the most intrepid huntress, would come home at times Juggling after her rabbit as large almost as herself, and would make nearly as much noise at night as brass band at s circus.
 "The neighbors complained so much of her that we decided to keep her indoors, but she soon discovered cur intention, and when shutting-up time came she could not be found, and a fruitless search would be made. Not sign of her could be seen, not sound from her could be heard until the lamps were put out, when her yells made night hideous.
 cone night she was ina damp, foggy, cold night-lying on the rug by the wood fire, apparently asleep. Ihad been reaihg. bed.

My wife lsughingly ran to her and lifted her from the floor, saying, Oh, Mademoi- selle we have you this eyeninop when Josephine struck her on both cheeks with her fore paws, digging the claws deep in the flesh: s'Mrs. Dolph knew too much of cat nature to struggle or resist, and bravely, despite the pain, spoke soothingly to the cat. gently scolding her, and gradually the claws relaxed their hold. Had she moved her face would have been badly torn. You may be sure we had no fur ther desire to keep the ugly Jo- | sephine at home that night.

Well, some of the children at the hotel got to know of them and would come to see | them, Augora kittens being something oi 8 rarity.

 "But in an evil moment, one day wheI I was away, some boys came, and of cours, were not content with simply seeing-the, must lift them from the basket and pla, | with them, The consequence was tha l when I returned the nest was empty-no 8 kitten was to be seen. Josephine, fear
