An excellent Democratic paper, the
Democratic Watchman, published of
Bellefonte, Pa, thus condenses several
columns of argument in favor of free
trade:


We are for free trade. We believe in
buying what we need where we can get
it the cheapest,and selling what we have
to dispose Of where we can get the most
for it. This is the true secret, of ma
tional as well as individual prosperity,
and by and by it will be the acknowl-
edged doctrine all over the country. The
old cry of ssprotection" is played Gut;
inasmuch as the only ones who are .'pro-
tected" are the wealthiest men in the
land. Did anybody ever hear of a tariff
for the protection of the poor man? We
guess not. The iron manufacturers are
about the only class that are protected
in Pennsylvania, but the men who work
for them get none Of the benefit Of such
protection. Free trade is the panacea
for all the ills of the tariff.


To which the New York Democrat
adds:


Who ever heard Of a poor man re-
ceiving benefit from tariff Yet poor
men are beguiled into voting against
their interests, not to put money in their
pockets, but to please protectionists and
those good talking men who claim it is
the duty of the poor to make laws for
the protection of the rich.

Gladstone than Of any public man in
Great Britain. When not absorbed in
his political duties he finds recreation in
literature, as the many polished and
scholarly works from his pen will testify
and the only moments he will allow to
absolute idleness he gives to music, in
which he takes great delight. The
opera is the only theater he has been
known to enter for years, and ICON.
certs the only fashionable entertain
ments at which he will attend.


In person Mr.. Gladstone is of the
middle hight, about five feet nine, and
his head unquestionably seems too large
for his body. His features are very
nearly being very handsome, but their
prevailing characteristic is a grand cx-
preston Of intellect and determination,
beauty which is somewhat marred by
eyes rather too deeply set and an over
hanging brow--a brow, however, worthy
Of Demosthenese or a Cicero. The
effect of his oratory is much aided by a
singularly prodigious voice, one which,
moreover, is capable of swelling into the
grandest Of tones when required to ex-
press his noble wrath at the taunts OF
Disraeli, or his equally noble admiration
of some deed of his colleagues.


Mr. Gladstone passes much of his time
with the various branches of the Duke
of Sutherland's family, with whom he is
very intimate, who regard him as demi-
god, and whose vast influence is doubt
less advantageous to him. OF more
than friendship no whisper has ever
been breathed against him. He has no
time for follies, and probably has never
had taste for hirtations.

There ought to be no sweeter hour
in the day than that in which comes
the morning meal and family wOr-
ship. Yet it is sOTrowful to see what
sometimes passes for the latter. A
chapter Of the Bible hurried through,
a rambling, stereOtyped prayer num-
bled over, and the participants rush
off to the work which they have
meanwhile been thinking about,
and which they ENJOY a great
deal better. The exercise Is wrap
ped in fog, instead Of being
crowned in Heavens light. It is a
mistake TO suppose that fiuency or ed
ucatiOn are specially needed in con-
Quoting family worship. It wants a
heart most Of ali. Let there not be a
single petition that is not born Of real
desire-even if the prayer be not
two minutes long. Blessed be the
home where the spirit Of song dwells
and adds its charm to morning wOr-
ship. The exercises need not be long,
but it should not be crowded. Break
up the fOTmality; carry all the soul
life you have into it; and its savOr
shall not 20 through the day alone,
but among all the home memories
none shall be stronger to hold the
grown up children to the faith Of their
fathers.

Mr.. Edward Watts, a weIl-knOwn
citizen residing at No. %, Harvard
street, tells very remarkable story
of pair of English bull terriers that
he owns and prizes very highly. He
says, and Officer Coon b5 of the Fourth
Station, vOuehes for the trnth Of the
story, that one day last week he had
occasion to 90 from his house to Port
land street, good mile, for the pur-
pose of paying a small bill. Arriving
at Portland street with the dogs, he
met the man he wished to see, on the
sidewalk, and there paid the bill, at
the same time dropping a twenty dol
lar bill on the curb stone, though he
knew nothing about it till his arrival
home, some two hours after, and after
calling at several places on his way
home.


Finding this twenty dollar bill gone,
he took his dogs and started back,
calling at the places he visited on his
way home. On reaching Sudbury
street he called his dog Jess, showed
him twenty dollar bill, looked about
on the ground as if hunting for it,
and told the dog to 'smell it out"
The dog then started Off with his nose
to the ground in front of his master,
and pushing round into Portland
street, where they had been before,
and where the bill was paid, he stop
ped, pOked about the dirt with his
nose and in few minutes ran up to
his master with the lost twenty dol
Tar bill in his mouth. That looks like
a very tough dog story, but if truth
ful men are to be believed then is this
story true.

feel and tie IN a bow knot. At the

A tragedy of an unusual sorrowful
character was discovered lately in New


York. A resident had III his family an
orphan niece, fifteen years of age, named


Mary McManus, who was an intelligent
and interesting girl of much promise.
But the child, for such she yet was,
yielded to temptation and purloined a
trifiing bit of silk from the rooms of
Mrs. Robinson, who occupied an upper
floor in the house, and with it trimmed IA
hat Mrs. Robinson, discovering her
loss, accused Mary of the theft, and the
girl confessing her fault, implored Mrs


Robinson not to inform her uncle of the


circumstance. The lady, however, con-
sidering it her du.y, resisted the appeal,


and the girl went from her terror-strick-
en-. Nothing more was seen of her until
that evening, when she was found dead
in her bed in the house and bathed in
blood. An investigation showed that
she had shot herself through the heart,
for the bullet-mark was directly over that
organ. and on the floor beside the bed
lay small single 'barreled pistol, where
il had fallen from her hand after she had
fired the fatal shot. 1t was also discov-

A RAILROAD DECISION. An important

United States Circuit Court in Iowa, in
case in which WIDOW brought suit
against railroad CONF any to recover
S15, 600 for the killing OF her husband
while walking on the track. The Judge
III charging the jury said No man
has right to go upon the railroad track
in such a place, and go along in state
of abstraction careless of what might
happen to him, and then II around
and say to the railroad company. how
ever negligent they may have been, you
are responsible for my safety. If he
is careless himself, it can't be expected
that the railroads can be made to take
care of him, and pay for him if he is
killed. Being on the track and walking
in a direction where railroad train
might overtake him, reasonable care
required of him that he should be vigilant
and watchful to discover the approach
of any train, and especially from behind.

defence.
