AN INSULT TO ANY DECENT MAN.
From the Hoboken Euening Neus.

HfOHNt HC EhNfN" 1870
A G. 0. r. organ says that General
r obart of New Jersey, who succeeds
General Clarkson rs Vice Chairman (of
the National Committee) Is an expert
enced and distinguished campaigner,
while in Mr.. William Barbour, New York
furnishes to the committee a Treasurer
excelleutly qualified for the difficult work
OF the position which General Dudley re-
linquished simultaneously with the re-
tirement of Mr. Quay"
To be certified as 'excellently quail
fed" for "the difficult work" Dudley re-
linquished is an insult to any honorable
man. The purchase of 'hoaters in
blocks of five'i and other forms or bribery
and corruption and prostitution or the
elective franchise constituted Dudley's
forte. Such WIS the work for which he
was ''excellently qualified"
Mr.. Barbour has II case against the
party organ that makes him out as par
ticularly fGted for such campaign work.

A Man Who Lives In n Trunk,

Opposite the postoffice, on the east eide
of Jackson street, stands a row of the old
est and most rickety shanties in San Fran
cisco. They are SO ancient and tumble
down that they seem to hang together by
the shreds of rusty tin and zinc with which
they are covered. The plastering disap.
peared from the walls long ago. and now
the rotten laths and scantlings are break
ing through.
Dirt besmears the walls, and spiders
have hung up great masses of webs that
run from one end of the room to the other
To one unaccustomed TO such places the
floors seem about to give way, and be

most wretched of all the dens IS No 312.
The number Is on one side OF the door In
red chalk. This place was once occupied
by carpenter named Curtis, but he Is
dead and another occupant has taken pos
session.
The new tenant is an old man named
Jimmy Moore. He is a peculiar man all
around, but his chief characteristic is the
manner in which he sleeps- Although he
has the whole tumble down apartment at

Words of Praise.

Oliver Ellsworth, of Connecticut, who
was one of the most conspicuous men OF
the country during the administrations OF
Washington and Adams, seems to have
had at the beginning of his career no ex-
pectation OF becoming eminent. His am
bition was limited to gaining a living for
himself, his wife and children
But one day, while arguing case in
court, he heard a stranger say: "Who is
this young mani He speaks we'll"
Those words made Ellsworth chief jus
tice OF the United States, minister to
France and United States senator. He
went home after court was adjourned, told
his wife what he had heard and began to
think of rising at the bar. In his old age,
looked up to and respected as Christian
statesman, he used to say that these words
were the turning point of his life.
But young Ellsworth was not only sensi-
tive to praise be was an industrious young
man, who did many things which had no
reference to the law because it was his duty
to do them.
When, after graduating at Princeton,
and having become member of the bar at
Hartford, he began to practice law, his
father gave him an ak and a wood lot.
"Oliver, "'said the old man, who was a
pioneer, ''if you wish to get ahead, you
must work for it."
Oliver settled on the wood lot, some dis
tance from Hartford, cleared the land.
split rails to fence it, built log house and
there received the clients who sought him.
When the term of court began he walked
down to Hartford, argued his cases and
then returned home to his wood lot. On
coming into court the spectators observed
that the young lawyers hands were swollen
and pierced with thorns. That fact did not
discredit him with the farmers who served
as Jurors and witnesses. But after he
heard the words of praise, he paid more at
tention to his books and less to his farm

Brave Boy,

Some years ago, says the author of "Bie
Game of North America" three children
who lived near Olympia, Wash, were re-
turning from school, when Walter the
eldest, boy Of twelve, noticed what he
thought to be large yellow dog trottina
in the road behind them. They paid no at
tentlon to it, as large mongrel dogs of this
color abound everywhere in the vicinity OF
Indian camps. but went playing leiSurely
along.
Suddenly the youngest, chubby chap OF
six, who WAS behind his brothers. came
running to the front, and q moment later
the animal, seen now to be cougar, sprang
over the heads of the two astoDished bows,
seized the little fellow in his mouth, and
with spring vanished in the bushes.
The elder brother did not stop to DELHI
crate. He had for weapon only an empty
bottle, in which he had carried mix for
his dinner, and with this he rushed into
the bushes. His little brother was living
PROSTATE, grasping small tree with both
hands, and holding on with the strength
of despair, while the cougar, his fangs
luckily imbedded only in the child's cloth
ing, was trying to break this deathlike
grip.
w 1bu d SCIbAIn w dlIST Threw l1TnSelf on
the animal, beat it over the head with the
bottle until the glass was shattered in
fragments, and then, with the ragged edges
OF the bottles neck, he endeavored to cut
out the cougars eyes.
At last the cougar, with yell of rage
dropped his hold on the child and ran up
tree near at hand, while the heroic boy,
lifting his brother in his arms, carried him
into the road and fell fainting upon him.
Meanwhile the other brother had fed
screaming up the road and fortunately
met two men who had been chopping near
by. As soon as he had told the cause of
his fright they rushed on, to find the little
hero senseless, still tightly grasping the
neck of the broken bottle.
The cougars victim was too much horri-
fed to speak, but pointed to the savage
beast lying on a limb in full view. One of
the men had pistol, and with few shots
the animal was killed.
