ExAcTINo DISCIPLINE.
The Cruel Severity of nm Unmcrcifui
Father.

Philip Gilbert Hamerton was, during
his childhood, the victim OF a severe
and cruel discipline. His father was
man OF ungovernable temper and ir-
regular life, who had no sympathy with
childish foibles, and whose only idea
of educating a boy was TO make man
Of him"
His method of teaching n lad 10 ride
was TO accompany him on n vicious
black horse, and when little Philip
erred in any of the observances OF good
riders, TO punish him with his heavy
hunting whip. The whip had n steel
hammer at the end of a long handle;
and IL at any time the owner fancied
that the child was turning out his toes,
he would not say anything, but with
cruel dexterity heal him blow on the
foot, sharp enough TO make him writhe
with pain.
Yet this Spartan severity had it's val
liable side. The elder Hamerton UNI
derstood the Importance of concentra-
ton, aisA II he saw the boy occupied
with sesyral books, would say:
Take enc of those books and read
II steadily. Don't potter and play with
half a dozei,."
What he hated most was lie or the
shadow OF lie, and so bitter was this
aversion that Philip was sometimes pun
ished unjustly. He WINS expected 10
practice with dumb-bells 10 minutes
every morning. This exercise was
taken in the garden, but before begin
ning he always looked at the clock in
the sitting room. One day the father
met him and asked:
Have you done your is minutesT
'Yes, papa"
THAT is not true" said his aunt, from
the next room. 'IIe has only practiced
for ten minutes; look at the clock"
The hand stood at ten minutes past
IL; and though the boy protested that
he had begun at ten minutes before the
hour, the additional lie" put his father
In a fury, and he was ordered TO prac-
ticc continually for two hours. And
though the child was ready TO drop with
fatigue long before the 100 minutes were
over, not one OF them was remitted.--

Hendricks sat smoking beside Welsh
all the way down town. lie seemed so
deeply thoughtful that Welsh was
afraid TO disturb him. Presently, how

fill their manifest destiny and become
a part and parcel of the great Ameri-

very simple, only providing that this
country shall assume the debt of the
republic, not to exceed 81, 900, 900;
that the present form of government
shall continue to exist until Congress

In this issue of the Herald we pub
fish the financial statement of this
county. The showing made is very
fair, in fact, too much so as the bal
ance due the county is somewhat mis-
leading. The statement Is made up
the first of June and as this month
md next are the two months when
heavy payments are made, 1t Is alto
gether probable that by the first of
August there will be very little due
the county from eX-Sheriff Gerling,
Among other demands on him will be
the payment of interest on the bond
ed debt amounting to $2Ioo; officers
salaries, about $500; allowances at
the recent term of the County Court,
about $4,000; and orders heretofore
issued and still outstanding, estimated
to be $1,000, amounting in all to very
nearly the amount in the hands of Mr..
Gerling.
Considering the closeness of money,
Mr.. Gerling and his efficient deputies
have done wonderfully we'll. They
have been as lenient as possible. have
avoided pressing anyone and when
they did force collections it was only
because they were crowded with or
