CAPITAL, AND LABOR.
One of Robert G. Ingersoll's Pointed
Para bieS.

One of Robert G. Ingersoll's Pointed
Parallels.
Mr.. C. used TO think about the law
of supply and demand as applicable
TO individuals. He found that men
would work for exceedingly small
wages when pressed for the neces-
saries of life; that under some cir
cumstances they would give their labor
for half what it was worth to the en-
ployer, because they were in position
where they must do something for vile
or child. lie concluded that he had no
right 10 take advantage Of the necessities
of others, and that he should in the first
place honestly lind what the work was
worth to him, and then give TO the man
who did the work that amount. Other
manufacturers regarded Mr.. Z. as sub
stantiaIly insane, while most OF his work
men looked upon him as an exceedingly
goOd-natured man, without amy parucu-
lar genius for business. Mr.. c., however,
cared little about the opinion OF others 50
long as he maintained his respect Tor NM
self. At the end Of the first year he found
that he had made Il large profit, and there
upon he divided this profit with the peo-
pie who had earned it.
Some of his friends said 10 him That
he ought to endOw some pubic m
Stitution; that there should be a college
in his native town; but Mr.. Z. was OF
such a peculiar turn oil Inind lnaG
he thought justice ought to go before
charity, and a little in front OF egotism
and a desire to inmorlaliZe ones self.
lie said that it seemed to him that Of ali
persons in the world entitled TO this
profit were the men who had earned II,
the men who had made it by their labor,
by days OF actual toll. He insisted that,
as they had made it, ii was really theirs,
and il il was theirs, they should have it
and should spend it in their own way.
Mr. {. was told that he would make the
worllinen in other factories dissatisfied.
that other manufacturers would become
his enemies, and that his course would
scandaliZe some Of the greatest men who
had done much for the civilization OF the
world and for the spread of intelligence.
Mr.. G. became extremely unpopular with
men of talent, with those who had a
genius for business. He, however, pur-
sued his way, and carried on his business
with the idea that the men who did the
work were emitted TO q fair share Of the
profits; that, after I'll, money WAS not as
sacred as men, and that the law OF sup
ply and demand, as understood, did not
apply TO flesh and blood.-Cot. II. @.
Ingersoll, IN North American Review.

An Incident at West Point.

No doubt most boys and girls have met
with the words serving the flag; but |
dare say that few of them know how lit
orally the phrase expresses the senti-
ments of army aud navy officers. They
do not talk much about it, usually; but
they have, away down in their hearts, a
deep veneration for their cOuntry's colors.
and they do what they can to impress the
feeling on the men VINO serve under
them. l read in newspaper not long
ago an interesting anecdote of that splen-
did old soldier and gentleman, General
Sherman. An officer at West Point told
the newspaper correspondent that when
he was a cadet General Sherman visited
the post, and, of course, reviewed the bat
talon. II was in the color-guard," said
the officer, and when the General, pass
/ ing down the line, came to the flag he
uncovered his head. bowed low, and his
face wore an expression of deepest rev
erence. This act of veneration by the
stern old soldier taught us cadets lesson
that we can never forget"
Boys who have attended military
schools will know what the color-guard
is, but perhaps some OF my young read
ers will not know. The cOlor-0Ilard is n
small body of picked men, Sergeants and
Corporals chiefly. who are stationed on
each side and behind the color-serceant.
The color-guard never leaves the flag in
action, and never does any fighting until
the last reserves are called upon. Their
business is to stand by the flag and pre-
vent it from falling into the hands of the
enemy.
Aboard ship, one of the things that used
10 be done in the good old days OF
wooden frigates was to nail the colors to
the mast. Hanling down the colors in a
naval fight is the sign of surrender.
When they are nailed to the mast they
cannot be hauled down; the mast must
be shot away. or the vessel sunk before
the colors can be lowered.-W. j. Hender-
son, in st. Nicholas.

HOUSE RULES.
Changes Likely to be Made by the
Present Congress.


WAsHIN Jan. 19.-It is known
that there will be only few changes in
the rules of the Fiftieth Congress. The
Holman rule of the Forty-eighth Con-
gress, under which legislation was per-
mitted on the appropriation bills when
germane, and in line OF retrenchment in
expenditures, will be readopted. A rule
will also be added limiting to one hour
the call of States on Mondays for the in
PRODUCTION of bills, the OBJECT being to
prevent tilibustering on suspension days
by wasting time III the Introduction and
reading OF long. bills. 1t is also likely,
although this is not yet absolutely de-
cided upon, that rule Will be framed to
prevent tihbustering, by enabling the
House to bring to vote any measure on
which it desires TO close debate. This
rule will probably give the Rules Com
mittee authority 10 bring in a special
order fixing the time at which debate on
any specific measure shall cease, the APP
proval of the order by the House, of
course, being necessary.
