The position of poor Hiram Smed-

pie and politicians; but none more
forcible than the danger of that
human impulse to vote for the good
fellow, regardless of his moral fitness
and competency. In that way we get
thieves into office, and discourage
honesty in political aspirants. We
must learn that nothing will prevent
stealing but common honesty. Our
safeguards. II properly applied. may
catch the thief quickly and insure his
punishment; but We must not put
all our dependence on prevention
through fear. Good character Is much
better.
When two men are candidates for
Office, one a good fellow" and the
other a good citizen, we are prone to

MiIes and the Reporter.

General Nelson A. Miles always did
like to have fun with new reporters, "
said an old newspaper man. 81 re-
member some years ago he told an un.
fortunate Washington correspondent o
long story about new gun metal that
some genius was supposed to have just
discovered. 1t was wonderful alloy
which was as tough as steel and as
light as aluminium. By Its use, the
general said. II would be possible to
build guns which would weigh no
more than the immense projectiles
which they fred.
"The correspondent was delighted
and went off and wrote beautiful
article, which produced spasms of
laughter throughout the entire artil-
lery service. You see, it doesn't re-
quire very profound knowledge Of
ballistics to know that II gun and
pro1ectile both weigh exactly the same
amount they would fly in opposite d.
rections with exactly the same velocity
when the piece was fred"

A SURPRISING WEDDING.

II Gave a Shock to the Lady Who Wa
So Anxious to See II.
An elderly American auth0reSs asked
me to conduct her to place where
she could see workman's wedding
as she required 1t for a new novel
writes the Paris correspondent of the
London Gentlewoman. To oblige the
lady took her to the Lac Saint-Far
geau, an establishment at the top OF
the steep Rue de Bellevllle.
1t was still early when we reached
the place. and no brides or bridegrooms
were visible as yet. At last two char
a-bancs drove up to the door, and O
noisy company alighted, all smoking
cigarettes, including the bride, which
shocked my friend exceedingly.
The company then sat down to
luncheon, and we watched them from
a distance, while a photographer took
up his position near us. The meal did
not last very long and ended In the
bride performing Jig on the table
while the guests danced around her.
They then started games. hide and
seek, etc., and while the bridegroom
had his back turned the bride threw
her arms round the neck Of red hair
ed youth.
This led to q fight between the two.
The melee became general, the bride
pulling off her wreath and throwing 1t
at her father-in-law's head. My friend
looked on In breathless excitement.
while the guests jumped over the ia
bles and chairs, but when the bride
turned somersault, alightipg on the
bridegroom's shoulders, the good lady's
indignation rose to high pitch, and 1t
was only then that ] told her what

long before, that they were party OF

Asf.faslH fna Al. baefaas

L..
ThF aonb4fatlVs rarity OF dilsh-
liberia in this community during
the psesent winter, and thegenerai-
lily mild character of the disease Is
due, in the estim94on of the doc
tors, to the general use OF diphther-
ia antitoxin By the people. The
people ae' beginning to realize,
they say, that in this antitoxin
tbeyi1ave a remedy which will in
sure recovery in practically all cases
of diptheria where it is promptly
used. Moreover, the use of anti
toxin will prevent the appearance
of diphtheria in children who have
been exposed to the disease.
The chief difficulty in the way Of
the general use of antitoxin has
been the high price charged for it
by druggists generally. This price
placed the remedy beyond the poor
of the community. To prevent
this, the State Board of Health,
last summer, made arrangements
with two of the leading manufac-
turers of antitoxin, whereby it was
sold at a very low figure to the
medical members of the local Boards
of Health for sale to those who
could not afford to buy it at the
regular rate. Up to the first of
January, nearly two million units
of antitoxin were sent out by the
State Department or Health. At
the recent meeting of the State
Board in Richmond, it was decid-
ed to furnish this antitoxin to all
physicians of good standing in the
State whether members of the To-
cal Boards of Health or not. These
physicians can furnish it at cost to
patients too poor to buy it at the
standard rate, but are not to sell it
to other persons. The members of
the county boards can, as hereto
fore, secure the antitoxin for free
distribution or for sale to INDECENT
patients.
In this manner it is hoped that
the use of antitoxin will be encour-
aged throughout the State. A
physician can now telegraph his
order to the State Department at
Richmond and can receive the anti
toxin by mail or express within a
| few hours.

rotary Of the Treasury.
It was not unnatural that In the alb
solute absence Of political experience
President Grant should not only have
had much to learn concerning the ma
ture and conduct of civil government,
but that he should also have had much
to unlearn Of the mental habits and
the ways of thinking he had acquired
In the exercise Of large-indeed, almost
unlimited - military command. This
was strikingly illustrated by some re-
markable incidents.
AS usual, the nominations made by
the president for cabinet Offices were
promptly ratified by the senateAwith-
out being referred to any committee.
But after this had been done It was
remembered and reported to President
Grant that one of the nominees 80

whom President Grant had selected

In the course Of that days session of
the senate q message from the preS1-
dent was brought in In which. after
quoting the statute Of Sept. 2, 1889,
the president asked that Mr.. Stewart
be exempted by joint resolution of the

of surprise among senator's when the
message was read, and Mr.. Sherman
