4 Generals Pet Charger.

Spot was General Kilpatrick's fayorite
warhorse. After the war the general went
to South America, leaving Spot at his farm
with orders that he should receive the best
of care. After an absence of several years
General Fitzpatrick returned.
He reached home late in the afternoon
and was for some time occupied with his
family greetings. But he did not long for
get to inquire for the old horse.
Learning that Spot was at pasture in a
distant field, the general sent for him and
a little later was told that his favorite stood
tied to post at the entrance of the grounds
The general hastened out to the piazza,
whence, in the gathering dusk, be made out
the form Of the charger, who stood demurely
gnawing at the post
Just the one word spot" rang out over
the lawn. Like an echo came back the an.
swerable neigh.
A moment later Spot snapped his halter,
aud with arched neck and dilating nostrils
came galloping up to the piazza TO greet his
old master.

The politicians and officials at the Treas
ury Department are telling story on Chief
Clerk Logan Carlisle, illustrating the old
maxim that it is poor rule that wont work
both ways. The authenticity of the incl
dent cannot he vouched for, but, as Mr.
Carlisle himself expresses it, sit is good
story anyhow" Last week when the nu-
merous removals were taking place among
the clerks in the classified service, an elder
" lady called upon the chief clerk. She
stated her case clearly and distinctly. She
had been clerk in the classified service,
had always performed her duties in man
ner satisfactory to her chief Of division,
aud was not, of course, an offensive parti-
san. Upon close questioning by the court
eous chief clerk, the lady admitted that a
near relative was also in tie employ of Un-
Gle Sam.
Now madam" said Mr.. Carlisle, firmly
but kindly, "dou't you know that the de-
parlment ISSUED circular some time ago
calling for statement from every clerk as
to the number and nearness of his relatives
in office ?'
The lady admitted that she had received
one of the circulars in question.
"And don't you know that it was intend
ed to use the information resulting from the
issuance of these circnars to make judi
cious removals Of persons who have close
relatives drawing salaries from the govern
ment and fill their places with needer ap-
plicants, thus more fairly distributing the
favors ?"
Now. Mr.. Carlisle, let me ask you a
question:" responded the lady in true Yam
kee style. "You say the circulars were is
sued for the purpose of removing people
who have other members of their family in
office"
"Yes," replied Mr. Carlisle
"And must all of the people in Office who
have relatives in the service Of the govern
ment submit to removal ?"
"Yes," again replied the chief clerk.
"well, then, Mr. Carlisle cried the lady
with triumphant air, chow is it that you
and your father are both holding Office at
the same time?"
For a moment Logan was staggered at
this new view of the situation. lttook bin
but few minutes, however, TO collect bis
thoughts.
Madam" said be, 81 acknowledge the
logic of your reasoning. 10 very short
time the old gentleman will have to go"

Softly blew the June breezes through the
grand old woods. Feathered songsters flew
ioyously from branch TO branch, the rip
pliug brook murmured an accompaniment

waved their leafy plumes as if-in applause,
and the sun beamed its approval from an
unclouded sky.

WHAT THE FREsCHMAS WANTED.
n,cas "The Grand Oonfdance."

The following hit at the times, written by
George P. Morris more than fifty years ago
apropos to the money panic of that period,
exactly fits the present situation:
\ A little Frenchman loaned a merchant
FIVE thousand dollars when the times were
good. He called at the counting-house a
few days since in stale of agitation not
easily described.
".iow do you do?" inquired the mer-
chant
"Sick-ver sick, replied monsieur.
"What's the matter?"
"De times is de matter"
"Detimes what disease is that ?"
"De malaide vat break all de merchants,
yer much"
"Ah-the times, eh s-well they are bad,
very bad, sure enough; but how do they
affect you? ?"
"vy, monsieur, lose de conidance."
"In whom?"
"In everybody"
"Not in me, hope ?"
"Pardonnez moi, monsieur; but | do not
know who to trust at present, when all de
marchants break several times, all to
pieces"
"Then presume you want your money y
"Oui, monsieur, ! starve for want oi
largent." ~
Cant you do without it?"
mo, monsieur, must have him.
"You must?"
"Oui, monsieur" said little dimity
breeches, turning pale with apprehension
for the safety of his money.
"And you can't do without t."
"No, monsieur, not Won other leetle mo-
ment longare."
The merchant reached his bank book
drew check on the good old Chemical for
the amount and handed il to the visitor.
"Vat is dis, monsieur?"
"a check for five thousand dollars with
the interest"
"Is it bon2" said the Frenchman, with
amazement
Certainly"
Have you de l'argent in de bank ?"

"Aud it is pariaitement convenient to
pay the sum-"
Undoubtedly. What astonisbed you y
"yy, dat you have got him in dees
times"
"Oh, yes, and have plenty more. owe
nothing that | cannot pay at a moments
notice"
The Frenchman was perplexed.
Monsieur, you shall do me one leetle
favour, ell ?"
"With all my heart"
"vell, monsieur, you shall keep de FAR
gent for me some leetle year longer"
"Wby, | thought you wanted it,"
"Tout au contraire. l no want de Tar
GENT want de grand conidance. Suppose
you no got de money, den want him ver
much-suppose you got him, den no want
him at all. Vous comprenez. eh?"
After some further conference, the little
French an prevailed upon the merchant
to retain the money, and left the counting
house with light heart and countenance
very different from the one he wore when
he entered. His con6dance was restored
and although he did not stand in need oi
the money, he wished to know that bis
property was in safe hands.
This little sketch has moral, if the
reader has sagacty enough TO find it.

august e3. 1893.

The New York World earnestly advocates
the appointment of Hon. VIM. l.. Wilson
to the Ways and Means Craftsmanship
Some of the reasons for its preference are
given below "Mr. Wilson is in every way
equipped for the position. During two
Congresses he was member of the Ways
and Means committee, and from the begin
ging of his service he has been recognized
as one of its ablest members. By taste q
scholar and by habit a student, he has
brought all the resources of ripely cullur-
ell mind to the mastery of politico economic
principles and of the complex details of
our preposterous system of tariff taxation.
As a speaker he is persuasive, informing
and eloquent, and in every recent session
during which tariff bills have been up for
discussion he has made admittedly the best
speech made on the subject As parlia-
mentarian his knowledge is adequate. His
speech on the Reed rules" during the fa-
nous debates of the Fifty first Congress
was a masterpiece of eloquent logic and
puugent satire He avoided the brutal in-
vective that was then so common on both
sides. but his speech was the only one un-
der which Car Reed WINGED visiby and
which he took the pains to have answered.
'"The appointment of Mr.. Wilson would
probably cause less heartburning among his
competitors than any that could be made,
for he enjoys in rare degree the affection
of his party associates and the respect OF
his opponents His appointment would be
guarantee to the country that the Demo-
cratic pledges of tariff reform will be re-
deemed honestly and fully, and yet in no
spirit of wanton destructiveness. "
In another editorial the World says -
"Mr. Wilson is master of the questions OF
tariff and revenue He is master of him.
self. He is an intellectual and moral lead
er of men. All these qualities and qualif-
cations are needed in the chairman of the
first committee of the House.
"Mr. Wilson's appointment would like
wise inspire more confidence in the country
than that of any other man. Able, aggres-
sive and eloquent as several of the Demo
cratic leaders are, Mr.. Wilson embodies the
strongest combination of character, knowl-
edge, ability, moderation and integrity
His leadership would be guarantee OF
wisdom, courage and safety.
This is time when precedent should
give way to propriety.
"Mr. Wilson at the head of the Ways
and Means committee would be conf
dence- creating and success assuring ap-
pointment"

The Arfsona Kicker.

About Snubs.--When we established the
Kicker we we're lonesome-looking man.
We we're dead broke for cash, hard up for
clothes, aud we made no pretense as to
grammar, poetry or oratory, but in estab'
fishing the paper we also determined to es-
tabIish ourself in society. In fact, we de-
termined to lead it. The people rebelled at
the innovation, but we persisted. 1t grad
ualy dawned upon the populace inhabiting
the plateau that we knew the difference be-
tween standing up to dish of fried bacon
and sitting down to a six-course dinner,
and they crowded back TO give US room =
As editor, mayor and Senator, there is no
doubt of our being the Ward McAllister OF
a very large extent of territory, and now
and then an individual rises up and attempts
to hurt our society feelings. Such was the
case last Friday evening when Mrs. Col. de
Verde, of Arizona place, gave birthday
party and left Us out in the cold. She told
some of her friends that she did it to rebuke
our egotism, and we were no doubt rebuked
In leaving US out in the cold Mrs. de Verde
brought disaster upon herself. Viewed
from the McAllaster standpoint, her party
was fiat failure. Half the people present
used the finger bowls to drink from, the
coffee was sweeteued with New Orleans mo-
lasses, and she was eleven napkins short
when refreshments were served. To further
rebuke us she invited the wretcbed old crit
ter whom we are obliged to refer as our ''es
teemed contemporary" and he sat at the
head of the table and hollered for tripe and
lemonade and corned beef. No wonder the
party broke up at 10 o'clock and rushed the
gate off its hinges in the mad desire to get
away. Yesterday morning Col. de Verde
was taken to Wyoming under arrest. We
have known for a year that he was want
ed" there. When the colonel conspired
with his wife to pour ice water down our
spinal column, we felt it Our duty to send
of brief telegram giving his location.-
We are not reyengeful man, but we have
a policy to carry out. We have provided
ourself with a swallow tailed coat, white
vest, billed shirt and other adjuncts. We
have read up our etiquette. We know when
the celery should be removed and the fried
eggs brought in. We know when the salad
should be gently retired and the ice cream
quietly substituted. An attempt to snub us
may Justly be considered blow at society,
and will be certain to result in disaster to
the snubber.
