A tree is seldom cut down; it is burned.
A canoe is made by burning out a log

With the sky for his roof and the moon for
his lamp,
And around him are lying his sheep;
While over their heads in the sky's azure
range
See, the Man in the Moon and his sheen.
sleep, sleep.
There are sheep on the earth, there are sheen
in the sky,
But no one can think 1t is strange,
When they know that the Man in the Moon
has sheep,
And the skyland up there is his range.
Sleep, sleep.
The Man in the Moon is herder, dear.
And the woolly white clouds are his sheep.
The little lamb ran by his mother all day;
He tired his four little feet,
And he is lying beside her asleep,
Under the dusky mosquito;
While through the blue pastures of heaven
The moon man is drifting his sheep.
Sleep, sleep.
Shut up your two pretty eyes,
For the Lobo might come
From his haunts in the hills
And howl at a baby that cries.
Sleep, sleep.
The Man in the Moon is a herder, sweet,
And the woolly white clouds are his sheep.

entering an abrasion on his own
wrist.
This is simply another evidence Of
the great risks that surgeons and
physicians take in the dressing of old
wounds, in surgical operations and
post-mortem examinations, which
added to the science and skill that
they must bring TO their work of the
kind should make their services far
more valuable than the casual or I'M
appreciative observer would suppose.
We are led TO these remarks by the
fact that lately certain authorities of
this county awarded TO two physicians

beside going TO some expense, and for
this work they were each offered the
mnnificent sum of ten dollars which
they righteously and Indignantly re-
fused. Each had put in a bill for fifty
dollars, which was very low charge.
and now the chances are that the
county will have two law suits in
which IT is almost certain to come out

bills as originally made, with the costs

THE INTERNATIONAL DUMP

enthusiastically systematically anC
sporadically, something is said in the
press about the execution of the i'm
migration law. But just the same, nc
attention is paid to the matter, and
the lowest and vilest purlieus OF
Europe continue to dump their human
oifal, their beggars, drones, paupers,
diseased, and criminals upon these
shores, and they continue to come to
be burden to the public, to fill the
jails, almshouses and hospitals, to
commit every crime reprehended by
the decalogue, while they complain of
ill-treatment here and set authOri-
ties of state by the ears. When is it
going to stop? When the people rise
in their wrath and might and stop it,
or when the country is deluged and
ruined by it?
1t is said, however, that Supervisor
of Immigration, Owen, has started in
with a show Of commendable zeal, to
enforce the enactments of congress as
to this crying evil, and if he is success
full, there will no longer be a necessity
for further agitation of the subject.
But unless he is, the press of the
country, the voice of the people, should
raise one long and enduring cry
against it until something is done.
The agitation against foreign immi-
grafton is not intended to be prohibi-
tive but merely to restrict and keep
within certain bounds. This country
in being known as the asylum for the
oppressed unfortunately has to submit
to broad Interpretation by foreign
nations. We are willing to take the
oppressed when that is their main
reason for emigrating, but a decided
objection is filed when foreign nations
take advantage Of our laws to make
this country the dumping ground of
the Old World. We only desire the
exclusion of such aliens as will make
citizens and against this
class solely are the bars put up.
There is no longer any sympathy at
tached to the immigration question, or
any sentimentality either, for that
matter. This is not an age of oppres-
sion in any part of Europe with the
possible exception Of Russia's dealings
with the Jews. The call for further
legislation is unnecessary, but what is
needed is demand that the laws we
now have be strictly enforced. They |
ire ample to meet every case. We are
willing to receive to our shores re-
'pectable people from any country,
)ut draw the line on paupers, criminals
md idiots. If Europe desires to rid
herself of these undesirable classes
he should be compelled to send
hem to her own colonies and not to
he United States.

years of close study and practice to
acquire what enables him to do these
things, sum hardly equal to his ex-
pense and laborer's wages for the time
consumed, is an evidence Of narrow
unappreciativeness that should be re-
sented by every intelligent citizen, and
while we desire to see the county's
FUNDS honestly and economically dis
bursed, all liberal-minded citizens will
spurn the idea of allowing any of their
governmental corporations to be mig
gardly and unjust, especially when
such performances are liable to result
In such legal resentment from the par
ties unjustly treated as will bring

ARE WOMEN MERCENARYf
Two Diverse Opinions on the Question OF
Feminine Acauisitiyeness

Two Diverse Opinions on the Question OF
Feminine Acquisitiveness.
Two women were discussing a very deli
cate subject; Is woman as a sex mercenary
and calculating?
Il think am very well acquainted with
my sex, said one, "and am forced to &C
knowledge to myself that women are apt
to be on the continual watch for what NAV
be gained from friends. They make them
selves particularly agreeable to people of
Influence and ignore those that are of small
consequence. The more innocent young
girls smile most brightly on the young
man who sends flowers and candy, and the
fast ones play regular game to get gifts
Of more substantial sort Men are so
foolish too. They fancy women sincere
and honest, and consider it privilege
when they are allowed to make present
of value to "a beauty that has f1attered their
vanity.
"Alasi ! mourn that my sex is SO hypo-
critical and grasping. | remember the
time when it was considered an insult for
men to give presents to young ladies'
Now, however, woman has changed all
that, and after man has known a girl a
week he asks her to accept diamond
1t is really too bad"
The other lady laughed heartily at what
she called her friends pessimistic miscon-
ception. Nonsense" she cried. "I'm as
tonished at you. Where have you been

capital, the general modesty and pride of
the feminine sex are as pronounced as they
were when we were good deal younger
than we are now. You know well enough
that you would not allow one of your
daughters to accept gift from a man, and
you know that they would never dream of
maneuvering for one. Now, are you so
conceited as to think you are different from
other mothers, or your daughters superior

such people, and in them is the great spirit

regulated women that makes itself con
spicuous in a city like New York. These
women make noise and are vulgar, and
IL Is their habit to get all they can out of
people they meet. But you ought to know
that they are wofully small part of the
world, and cannot affect that fine feminine

pride. Fiei Believe in your sex, my dear.

baeklsm, they Withdrew from active
interest in the matter. As a plain
evidence that the Reveille desires to
misrepresent the situation as to the
gentlemen mentioned, it may be
stated, as was well known, that a
son of Senator Hiscock was here
numbers of times prepared to take
hold of the work at once, and Senator
Platt was here in person for time,
and has continually had his represen-
tatives here for that purpose. So
much for the second batch of the con
solidated falsehood.
AS to the other matters that the
article deals with, they are mostly

council has or hasn't done and lot of
glittering generalities that don't cut
any figure in the matter, but sound

TWAS EYER THUS"

III Is, apparently, weakness of
human nature to be more ingenious
in searching out bad motives for good
actions, when performed by others,
than good motives for bad actions.
when performed by ourselves. 1t is
also a self-evident proposition, the
moment it presents itself, that no
swlndler has assumed so many names
as self-love, nor is so much ashamed
OF his own; self-love can gid the most
nauseous pill, and can make the gross
est venality, when tinselled over with
the semblance Of gratitude, sit easy
on the weakest stomach. There is an
anecdote of Sir Robert Walpole, once
famous British political leader,
which may not be Inappropriate at
this time and which will illustrate the
statements above made. Sir Robert
wished to carry favorite measure in
the house OF commons. None under
stood better than this minister two
grand secrets of state-the great
power Of principal and the
great weakness Of principles. A
day or two previous to the agitation
OF the measure alluded to, he CHANGED
upon a country member, who some
times, like many a modern prototype,
looked to the lCeiqh and value of an
rather than to its Justice
and truth. Sir Robert took him aside.
and rather unceremoniously put
thousand pound bank note into his
hand, saying, Il must have your vote
and influence tomorrow" Our Arts
tides from the country thus pompously
replied: "Sir Robert, you have shown
my friend on several occa-
sions, and on points where both my
honor and my interest were nearly
and dearly concerned; | am also in
formed that it was owing to your good
offices that my wife met with so dis !
tinguished and flattering a reception
at court. | should think my
self, therefore, continued he.
however, the note very
'arefully into his own pocket; / should
hink myself Sir Robert, a perfect
monster of ingratitude, if on this oc-
aston | refused you my vote and in
Iuence." They parted; Sir Robert
lot little surprised at having dis
overed a new page in the volume of
nan, and the other scarcely more
'leased with the rdluable reasoning of
'ir Robert than with his own specious
hetoric which had so suddenly meta
norphosed an act of foulest corruption
nto one of the sincerest gratitude.
