the years a model in the position Of a
congressman, which mis- ambition inspires
him to emulate. There is. however. one

actions would drive a tcn-ycar-old boy
60 plowing in preference 10 Congress, or
stimulate him to attempt a tan yard
boss-ship, rather than Massachusetts
congressional candidacy.
Mr.. Elijah Adams Morse, OF Massachu-
sets, puts in his time on earth manutac-
turing Rising sun" stove polish, preach
ing few sermons I'M the outlying districts
of Plymouth county and breaking all the
idols which youth creCts as 10 the good
sense Of people in Congress.
Mr. Morse began life at the wrong end,
and contrary 10 the stereotyped express
sion that Westward the star Of Empire
takes its flight" ne moved from Indiana

eccentricities ever since. This morning

and mingled disgust.
