An American Monarchy.


From the Dublin Evening Mail (tory and high


church organ), August 30l


very curious and significant movement is re-
ported from America In reference to the next term
OF the Presidency. 1t Is stated that the centraZa
ton party-those desirous of restricting the federal
principle in government as inimica to national
greatness and safety-mean TO "run Grant for
President third time.n The suspicion OF this
design mas been enough to excite the democrats
in every part Of the Union but they appear
to be helpless to prevent such result
II the republicans are only unanimous in
regard to It. The choice of Grant Is sought to be
justified on the ground that admittedly OF the
asprants would be so experienced or trustworthy
jure the Republic. Grant himself is known to wish
to hold his place, and his partisaDs can find fifty
speclOus reasons In his favor. IL Is evident TO ex
ternai observers, however, that the third election
OF Grant, the more particularly as he personlnes
the idea Of strong central government
haps the peace, and certainly the constitu
tion, OF the United States. As In Germany, the
Americans OF the scientifically political class have
been longing for greater unity and force In ad-
mlnistration, and have been OF opinion that these
can be secured only by maintaining such policy
1t upon the national temper and Will. II Is ex.
tremeiy likely that the American people would
resent the attempt TO turn their government, eveu
for their own good substantially into monarchy;
the TACT, however, that a necessity Is felt for
greater command OF the elements OF rule at WASH
ington and consequently for corresponding re-
duction OF the independence OF separate eglsa-
tures Is a striking one In these days.

Desiring 20 present the views OF so distinguished
lawyer and 80 prominent politician as


JUDGE Z. LOCKWOOD HOAR


to the readers OF the HERALD, the HERALD re-
porter took occasion to-day to obtain an interview
with the Judge ut his beautiful home in Concord.
He lives In handsome cottage on the principal
street in Concord, and enjoys himself during the
summer months, seemingly content to remain
quietly at home with his family, Notwithstanding
his popularity, which at any resort would cause
MIN to be c0urted by thousands OF admirers eager
to manifest their appreciation OF his ability and
well deserved fame. The HERALD reporter found
him In the garden, quietly

restoring them Tor another year, as II expecting
to live there the remainder OF his life, beautiful
daughter being his only companion. Upon intro
ducing himself to Judge Hoar, the HERALD re-
porter stated that the object of his visit was to
obtain his views upon the Chief Justiceship which.
considering the death OF Chief Justice Chase and
the vacancy thereby existing, would be OF much
interest. The judge expressed his pleasure at re-
ceiving call from the representative Of the lead
ing journal of the country, and courteously invited
him to his parlor, where at once they began to


"TALK CHIEF JUSTICE"


In beginning, he said while he was both sur
prised and nattered TO receive the CALL still he did
not know anything he could say that would en-
tighten the community more than what many
Others might be better qualified to say.

REPoRTER-On the other hand, II the appoint.
ment is to be made from the Bench, whom do you
deem the proper one to receive 1t?
JUDGE MILLER ENTITLED TO THE APPOINTMENT.
Judge HoAR-Judge Miller, Of Iowa, who now is
one Of the associate judges OF the Supreme Court,
Is entitled to It. But my opinion, as said before,
Is worth no more than that Of any one else.
1 HOPE 1T WILL NOT BE A POLITICAL APPOINTMENT.
As far as am individually concerned, am con-
tent to remain at home. am able here to secure
an honest living and enjoy happy home by my
professional engagements. am perfectly content
to remain in Massachusetts, provided it is not
undertaken to force General Butler on us as Gov
Aerner or supreme ruler. II that unhoped.for con-
tingency should come to pass do not wish to stay
here. .a.ni .rl.


After some brief conversation OF q general char

HELP ONE ANoTHER.-Th little sente nee
should be written ON every heart-Stamped on
every memory. IL should be the golden rule
of practice, not only in every household, but
throughout the world. By helping one anOth-
or we not only remove thOrns from the path
way and anxiety from the mind, but we feel
sense OF pleasure in our hearts, knowing We
are doing duty to u fellow creature.


A helping hand or i'm encouraging word is
no loss TO us, yet is a benefit to others. Who
has not felt tho power of a little Sentence?-
Who has not needed the encouragement and
aid of kind friend? How soothing when per-
picked with some task that is both difficult and
bU-densOme, to feel a gentle hand on the
shoulder, ard to hear kind voice whispering,
"DO not be discouraged Tsee your troubles,
let mo help you" What strength is inspired,
hope created, what sweet gratitude is felt; and
the great difficulty dissOlves as dew before the
sunshine. Yes, let us help one another, by
endeaVOring to strengthen and encourage the
weak and lifting the burden Of care from
the weary and oppressed, that life may glide
smoothly on, and the fount OF bitterness yield
sweet waters and He, whose willing hand is
ever ready to aid US, will reward our humble
endeAvOrs, and every good deed will be
'bread upon the water, to return after many
days" IL not to US, at least to those that We
love.

At this season Of the year, when It behOOves
us to scrub and re-graVel our birdcages, it's more
than likely that your canary will get out.
In such case, prompt and decisive action is
required. II Is useless for the whole family TO
collect and shout at the canary and make des-
over him. Lite Is too short to be wasted in this
way. ri.. .,.


And maddened efforts 10 clap hats over him
generally amount to very little, especially when he
Is up tree.


Aud just hOre we may remark, that there are
few methods of taking exercise that may be re-
lied upon to hold out like that of following
loose canary around a village, reaching out at
arms length towards him good-sizsd bird-Cage,
and endeavOring by series of mOnotonous and
lrreveent chirpS to make him believe he wants to
goin.


Sugar and cuttle-flsh bone, as engines OF seduc-
ton, are not to be depended upon. The average
coaXation into cages by sugar of the ordinary
canary Of North America s In the proportion of
a wheelbauowful of one to a feather of the
other.


We will also state in this connection that a
man with new shoes on, and big cage in one
hand, furnish an interesting spectacle to
over forty by-standers, by simply climbing tree
to offer wiry Establishments to an enfranchised
canary.


The real way to catch loose canary, and the
only way which can be warranted for a term OF
years, is to collect all yOur friends and family and
post them around the tree or fence where the ca
nary is at bay. Let them all furnish themselves
with plenty of bits of kindlng wood, sods OF
grass, Jumps of dirt, hunks OF brick, currycombs,
boOtjacks, porter-bottles aud other handy missiles
and let them fire away boldly at the canary. II
the bird cowOrdly turns tail and flies off, let every
body follow and slam bang at him with their ut
most vigOr. 1t will be hard to cOnfiue this en-
tertainment to your immediate circle. No boy
whose heart is in the right place and who has any
legs will refrain from the pursuit, and there are
many men who would leave the dentists chair tC
mingle in the hpy. There are cases, too, where
funeral would hang by thread, Ms it were, in the
vicinity OF canary hunt Even from the win
dOws Of upper rooms, where sickness or disha
billie may detain unfortunate enthusiasts, there
will come, ever and anon, a frantic wash bowl o

rapid free distribution Of hre-wood and paving
material, It will not DO long before several .
your relations will wish they had brought tin
umbrella along. But considerations of mGr
personal comfort must not be allowed to inter
Iere. IL you keep this thing up long enough
and you I hre pretty straight, you'll be sure Il

fore he can get in, and his voice is SO
lost in the gloom that all his words run
together, and nobody can understand
what he says this time o night. And
then, too, he goes down to the lake with
a lady in the buggy, to console him for
the absence of his wife, and he don't get
back-it takes so long to mollify lone

Louisa's father had gone off with the
OK team up into the woods, sixty miles
away, to make the camp before the win
ter's logging should begin. She felt
very lonely as soon as he was out of
sight, for more reasons than one. In
the first place, there was nobody at
home but little Tim, who could dig
the paths, to be sure, and look after
the cattle; grandmother, who was COM
panionable enough, with her stories of
old times, but care more than a pro-
tector; and Susette, who helped about
the house, but was only child. The
second reason was that she had quar-
relied with Ben; and last, but not least,
he and her uncle Simon had driven off
on the OK team with her father. If
there had ever been time since their
quarrel when she had felt disposed to
make it up, it was when the OK team
had disappeared from sight and it was
impossible to do so.


The fact of the case was that Ben
had been looking upon Louisa as his
own property ever since he could re-
member. He had beaued her to and
from singing school; he had helped
her out with her hard problems at dis
trict school, and had carried her home
on his sled; at quilting, sewing circle,
or picnic he had chosen her for his
partner in the dance, had paid his for
feits to her, and had revolved about
her daily. And she had seemed to rel
ish the whole thing till she went away
to the city one winter to work in a
1nilliner's shop, and so came home
quite out of conceit with country liv-
ing and country men, and had rather
given Ben the cold shoulder, refusing
his gifts and attentions, and showing
pretty plainly that she looked higher.
But Ben, with the instinct Of a free
born American, felt himself as good as
anybody, and charged her one day with
having come by hifalutin ideas of her
self and life in the city, which didn't
in the least become her, and averred
that she couldn't do better than to
marry him.

With these figures showing these
facts the press of the rebellion prefer
to rejoice over every triumph from the
lava beds of the Modocs and every at
tempt of the mob in Louisiana to pro-
mote and produce trouble, and then
have the assurance to solicit the conf
dence Of the people who have no other
interest or can have in party organiza-
tions except to see that equal justice is
done to all in the administration of the
laws, and that no policy will be tolera-
ted that looks to oppression of one Sec
ton over the rest. Besides the infor-
nation impaired it would have a salu-
tsry effect in allaying the angry pas
sions and removing many Of the pre-
judices which the late unfortunate con-
fiict created and engendered. The one
would be true craftsmanship the other
is the still burning embers Of bitter
and disappointed partisanship, which
has no principle for its guide or honor
for its purpose. GEORGIA.
