Byron Sutherland. who has just returned
from New Orleans, had his attention called
while in the Crescent City to two mementoes
of Ben Buffers war time reign that suggest
a vein of humor and sarcasm in Ben's COM
position that has been hitheit to uususpeeted.
In Jackson square and on Clay street, re-
spectively, are bronze statues of Andrew
Jackson and Henry Clay of heroic size,
each standing on a granite base. When
the oblique-eyed Massachusetts General
was the ruling potentate in New Orleans, the
smooth granite offered too tempting a mark
to be carelessly passed by, so, by his order,
an inscription was cut under each statue
that under Old Hickory being the old hero's
memorable utterance, ''The Union must and
shall be preserved" Under Henry Clay
was placed the no less powerful sentiment
which he uttered in the United States Sem
ate, commencing, "If 1 could eradicate this
deepest stain (sIavery) from the escutcheon
of the nation," etc. During Buffers iron
rule no one dared tamper with these In
scriptions, and since the war closed no one
has cared to. so that there they remain, as
plainly decipherable as when first placed
there 26 years ago.

AN AMERICAN IDOL.
Push worshiped by People Who Are In

Push worshiped by People Who Are In
capable of Intelligent Repose.
New York Ledger.l
1t were sacrilege to say word against the
great American idol-Push; but we insist,
nevertheless, that he should be nationally
worshiped. There are those who pay their
devotion to him after the manner of luna
tics. 1t is the fashion to style these fanatics
energetic, yet under circumstances that pre-
clude exertion they are the most inane and
resourceless of mankind. Their animal
spirits ooze out of them with their animal
sap and stamina, and the reslduum is pig
lead. No conception have they of the lux
ury of thoughtful lassitude-of the delights
of that paradise lying between the realms of
wakefulness and slumber, from which hard
realities are quite shut out, and of which
poesy, tricksy sprite. alone has the entree.
During the enforced pauses of life such
people become cataleptic.
1t is Il SAD thing to be inca pable of intelli-
gent repose. Your mercurial mountebank,
whose normal condition is unrest, is nui-
sance to all those who do not think with him
that the world was made exclusively to
hustle in
