The durability of this boiler is greater than any
other for the is that cold water is allowed

We would especially call the attention of Railroad
to the following facts that while running this

words. They were frightfully
profane. But he did not stop
at words. He swept bis whip
round and gave little Shocky
one terrible cut. Then the
voice was released, and the
piercing cry of pam brought
Bud down the path flying.
"You good for-nothing scoun-

and with that Bud walked up

that it fractured one of the

RuBkin has now got new subject OF personal
grievance. He ia sorely troubled because the
British workingman wants to go to the British
Museum on Sundays. He says: sYou wish to
get into the Museum to recreate yonr minds,
but are sou quite sure that you have got any
minds to be recreated7 Before you expect edi-
fcation from that long gallery full Of long
legged, inconceivable spiders and colossal,
blotchy crabs, did you ever think Of looking
with any mind Of uindfulness at the only too
easy conceivable short~legged spider of your
own English acquaintance? or did you ever 80
much as consider why the crabs Of Afargate
Sands we're minded to go sideways
instead Of straight forward? And
what is Greek sculpture OF any other sculpture
to you? Are your own legs and arms not hand
some enough for you to look at but you must go
and stare at Clipped and smashed bits Of stone
in the likeness of legs and arms that ended their
walks and works two thousand years ago:" AL
Of this is very sour and very SMART but it never
seems to occur to Ruskin that perhaps the
British workingman hasn't time to go hunting
British spiders and crabs, but would prefer to
look at those already caught. With reference
to sculpture, after his not very hattering remark
touching the minds of the workingmen, ne fancy
ho will thoroughly appreciate the British work

It is probable that the death Of 11r. Greeley,

A juror, in the recent trial Of Andre, in Now
Yort, for killing his wife, which resulted in
conviction for granddaughter, publishes O. card in
which he attributes the impunity of murder to
the pecullarlties of jury-organization. In the
Andre case, seyen we're for verdict of murder
at first, three for insanity, and two for man.
slaughter. The case was one in which the wife's
inddeGty had been clearly proved, and tho juror
states that all, at least one-t1ird, of the jury
held to tie opinion that every man is justified in
killing the adulterer Or adu]teress, when tho
crime is brought home to lis own domestic
circle. The conclusions from this state
ment ara OF the broadeEt character. There
is no reason why the jury in the
Andre case should not be regarded es an average
jury. There has been no charge OR inti1nation
Of corruption, and it was organized from no
special class. Tho same Influences that led one-
third OF this jury to regard the killing Of an
ndulterer or an adultc.rss as justihable would
lead similar proportion OF other juries to main
tain the same belief. Thilo particular juriea
might be found occasionally that would unite in
the opposite opinion, the average result would
be the same in ninety-nine cases out Of every
one hundred We may conclude, therefore,
that SO long as the verdict rests
with the jury, without my special law
in regard to cases Of adultery, that there will be
no more convictions for murder in tie first de-
gree, with capital punishment, in cases Of which
adultery may be regarded as the moving cause.
A still greater danger, however: lies in the cir
cumstance that such acquittals must be based Oh
theground Of - emotional insanity" which opens
q way Of escape for murderers Of all classes who

Commend us to the girl of whom it
is sneeringly said, "she works for a
living.n Ia her we are always sure to
find the elements of q true woman-a
real lady. True, we are not prepared
to see mincing step, naughty lip,
a fashionable dress, or hear splendid
string of nonsense about balls and
young men, or the new and next
party-no, no but we are prepared
to hear the sound or of words of good
sense, language becoming a woman
neat dress, a mild brow, and to
witness movements that would not
disgrace an angel.


You who are looking for wives and
companions, turn from the fashionable,
naughty girls, and select one of those
who work for a living, and never
our word for twill you repent your
choice. You want a suitable friend,
and not help to eat-a counsellor,
and not a simpleton. You may not
be able to carry piano into your
house, but you can buy sewing ma
chine or set of knitting needles. II
you can not purchase every new novel,
you may be able to take some valu-
able paper. If you cannot buy a
ticket for the ball, you can visit some
afflicted neighbor.


Be careful, then, when you look for
a companion and whom you choose.
We know many a foolish man who,
instead of selecting an Industrious
prudent woman for q wife, took one
of the fashionable stock, and is now
lamenting his folly in dust and ashes.
He ran into the fire with his eyes wide
open, and who but himself is to blame
for it?


The time was when the ladies went
a visiting and took their work with
them. This is the reason we had such
excellent mothers. How singular

of delegates from the country parishes,
and request that delegates be elected
and sent to the. convention to be held
on the 23rd of April.


AS the country parishes were not
represented in the mass-meeting, nor
in the Provisional Committee, nor in
fixing their ratio of representation,
and finally as they have had nothing

ception to its birth, we suggest that
its accoucheWs confne its juvenile eff

The Reform party has made the
same blunder so often complained of
in the Democratic party. Neither of
them give the people any voice in its
organization, but demand their votes
upon pain of banishment from the
party. The Provisional Central Com
mittee of the Reform party, as at pre-
sent organized, is as much of a close
corporation as the Central Democratic
Committee, and have as little claim to
represent the people. The day of po-
litical bell-wethers has passed, and we
do not think the banner of reform
alone will enable the gentlemen COM
prising the Provisional Committee to
convince the people of the country
chat they are the only true reformers.


The Reform party in ignoring old
politicians publicly, ought to have re-
tanned privately the services of some
one who would have taught them the

Vfrceiey IN the Iribune, ith.l


There has been no time until now within the
last twelve years when the Tribune was not sup
posed to keep, for the benefit of the idle and in
capable, sort of Federal employment agency,
established to get places under government for
those who were inslisposed to work for living.
Any man who had ever voted the Republican
ticket believed that it was the duty and the pri-
viiege of the editor of this paper to get him n
place in the Custom house. Every retl-pose,l
politician who had chcered at the cancus and
fought at the polls, looked to the editor of the
Tribune to secure his appointment as gauyer or
army Chaplain, or Minister to France.
Every campaign orator came upon us after the
battle was over for q Recommendation as Sscre
tary of the Treasury or the loan of half dollar.
If one of our party had an interest pending at
Washington, the editor Of the Tribune was tele-
graphed in frantic haste to come to the capitol,
save this bill, crush that one, promote one object
or stop another. He was to bs Every lody's
Friend, with nothing to do but to take care of
other folks' business, sign papers, write letters,
and ask favor for them, and to get no thanks for
it either. FOur-ffths of these people were sent
away without what they wanted, only to become
straghtway abusive enemies; il was the worry
of life 90 crafty one demand in a dozen for the
other fifth.


The man with two wooden legs congratulated
himself that he could never1be troubled with cold

ms that office-seekers will keep aloof from a de-
feated candidate who has not influence enough

pointed under the sergcant-at-arms, or deputy
snb-assistant temporary clerk into the paste-pot
section of the folding room. At last we shall be
let alone to mind our aAars snd measure our own
newspaper, without being called aside every
hour to help lazy people whom we don't know,
and to spend our strength in efforts that only
benefit people who don't deserve assistance. At
last we shall keep our Office clear of blatherskites
and political beggars, and go about our daily
work with the satisfaction Of knowing that not
the most credulous of place-hunters will suspect
MS of having any credit with the appointing pow
ers. That is one Of the results of Tuesdays cleo

grateful.

hereafter say anything that will tend to heartily

however, what he can best commend, for that

is not in accord with either Of the great PARTIES
which have hitherto divided the country. He
will be able and will endeavor to give wider and
steadier regard to the progress of science indus

do, and he will not be provoked to indulgence in

When Horace Greeley, under the captivating
influence Of the Cincinnati nomination, sat
down to rewrite the liberal platform, there was
little sprite tickling his ear like that which agi-
tated the pgtail of Jerry Jarvis wig, as told in

spirit Of disorganization and wrote his sentence
about the vainness of political drill masters

waggling little demon never let hint
drop of how this sentence would cut

work woe to the peace of Tennessee Little
did the bland philosopher know that the it'll
lating devil had induced him to take the lid of
Andy Johnson's political casket, and send
him forth over the land the liveliest ghost that
ever kicked up shindy by the light Of the

his elf locks for some weeks at least
in the Sage's face even should he hide himself
beneath the shadow of his Chappaqua COW,
Old Spot, or call on the mountainous pump
kins at the Institute to cover him. 1t took
o good deal to get that unruly ghost into
its coffin, and it took all Tennessee sitting on
the lid, with Parson Brownlow at the top, to
keep him there. Horace cried, 'Scatter!"
and the obstreperous Andy was out and after
them with a red hot poker.
