WITH THE CHRoMoLITH, BY IL. BILLINGs.l
DEAR LITTLE JANET! And you
IL want me to tell her story? Why, she
would say there was no story to tell


say dear little Janet ~ For all that,
she is woman grown now and the last
time saw her there was great bouncing
Donald in her lap. For a. that, and for a.
that, she will always be little JANET to
me.


There never was child who showed 80
fully what the woman was to prove. The
first time ever saw her was one day when
her father had fallen in with me on cross
road in the Piscataquis valley: That is far
away, forty miles above Bangor in Maine.
He was on his hay-cart: was sitting on
log. We nodded to each other and he,
seeing my knapsack and stick, asked if
would not mount with him, which l did /:
and so, before long, we came up to his
cheerful, rambling, great shingIe-palace of
a house, where had already promised to
pass the night with him. We brought up
in front of the barn, from which we had
already heard shouts of Scoop Coop ~
Who should appear at little three-corner
ed window in the gable but little Janet
haxen curls flying wild about her head
" Hurrah p said "AIiss Janet" "Hur-
rah ~ said her father " jump, birdie p
and, before poor cockney well understood
the order, the child flew out of the window
down into his arms and they both rolled
over and over in the hay. l have seen
many a jump into hay-carts, may have
made my share but l never saw such a
fight as that. And even then it was not
the distance which seemed most surprising:
1t was the absolute promptness, SO per-
fectly fearless =


Hers not to make reply,


Hers not to question why"


He said 'junp!' and she jumped, not
because she calculated the height, or had
done 1t before, but because lie told her to,
and she loved and trusted him. That was
little Janet all over


Now, steadlness like that and readiness
like that breed steadiness and readiness
1t seems queer to me that had never seer
Janet before, have seen her SO much ant
80 often since. had not seen her long

A subscriber residing in county in

provided he pays in advance, and urges his
peighbors to subscribe. If he does not
live in the county in which he resides, and
the paper is not printed in the same county
in which it has its press-work done, then
the county must pay double postage on the

The CHURCH OF ROME AND THE STATE
AUTHORITY OF SwrrzERLAND.-At telegram from
Rome, forwarded to us by cable, reports that
Pope Plus the Ninth has resolved to defend
the Vatican position on the question of the
appointment Of Monsignor Gaspard Mormil-
iod, cure of Geneva, MS Roman Catholic
Bishop of the See of Hebron, in the East,
with exercise Of personal episcopal authority
under such designation and foreign commits
sion within the territory of the Swiss Repub-
lie. Monsignor Mermillod is jealous cham
pion Of the dogma of infallibility. The Swiss
civil power, cantonal in Geneva and federal in
Berne, is unanimous in the direction of an
executive legal opposition to his assumption of a
mitred power within the Nmain of the Repub-
lie, under such circumstances. We append
to our news telegram special history of the
relative claims of the contending parties. The
point involved in the quarrel is one of the
very greatest and most direct importance 60
the constituted governments Of the Christian
world, and Geneva is most suitable place for
its final solution.

From the announcement just made and
communicated through our special telegram
from London, that the Bank of England had
increased its specie four hundred and five
thousand pounds on Thursday it looks as if
there had been little fnessing between that
institution and the Bank Of France or the
French government II will be remembered
that President Theirs offered lately to relieve
the specie pressure of the Bank of England by
transferring from the Bank of France four
hundred thousand pounds This wa, declined !;
but the authorities of the Bank of England
said at the same time to President
Theirs that there was no objection
to that amount being received as special de-
post. The object Of the French President
or Bank of France was not, however, to
make deposit, but to facilitate the payments
on the French loan and at the same time to
make matters easy with the Bank of England.
But on Wednesday the Bank of France for
warded four hundred thousand sovereipns to
the London Banking Association, and more
was going, IL was said, and then the next day
we learn that the bullion of the Bank of
England had been increased just the amount
transmitted from France to the London
Banking Association. We suppose. therefore,
that the object of President Theirs has been
accomplished and the Bank of England re-
lieved and its scruples overcome by the round
about way OF using the London Banking Asso-
citation as a medium

French Army.


Nothing wins more lasting respect for an
individual or q nation than to bear misfortune
with calm dignity. When France, after q
gallant, if not heroic, resistance to the over.
whelming power of Germany, accepted the
result Of the war which Napoleonism had pro-
voked, the frankness with which her people
acknowledged their error and defeat excited
sympathy n quarters where none was felt
while the struggle continued. Up to the
present the nation, as whole, has main
tanned the same wise reserve as to the
issues Of the war, while making
strenuous efforts to free the soil of
France from the presence of the German
troops Of occupation. Whatever may be
the feeling Of the people toward their con-
querors it would show lack of good sense
and good taste unworthy Of q great people to
make an exhibition Of impotent hate, which
would only expose France to further outrage
without any compromising advantages. 1t has
remained for General Ducrot to make the mis-
take of addressing words of menace to the
ooAuioAo WIZ VaHqulSHcu Hllu III Ialr uSnt. III
an address to the soldiers under his command
he seized the opportunity to say that the
Germans would repent the forcible an
nexation of Alsace and Lorraine. Most
thoughtful people are of Ducrots opinion;
but he ought not to have uttered what sounds
like threat. For though no one can justly
be held liable except Ducrot himself, yet by
his rash words he has compromised the army.
The immediate result can scarcely fail to be
injurious to French credit by shaking the con-
idence Of capitalists in the continuance OF
peace. 1t is chiefly, however, to be regretted
as showing that the old spirit of brag is not
yet dead among Frenchmen. Unless such silly
exhibitions of bad taste are rendered impos-
sible by healthy public opinion we should
almost despair of the salvation of France
And if ever Alsace and Lorraine shall be re-
covered il will be by race Of men who have
too much sense and too much self-respect to
invite insult they are not in position to re-
sent. We hope that President Thiers will
mark his strong condemnation of the course
adopted by Ducrot, and teach the General that
under republic soldiers cannot be peruitted

These are fair specimen Of the appeals that
have been made to the citizens of New York
since the real work of the present municipal
campaign commenced, and they may well con-
fuse those not familiar with the tricks Of am
bilious politicians and confirm the growing
belief that the whole pretended reform move
ment is an impudent fraud. Last year the
work of redeeming the city government from
the hands of dishonest officials was accom-
plished by the people, not by the politicians;
and the former, in their indignation against
the plunderers, were Indifferent as to who
might secure the offices. AS the democratic
organization in the city was then controlled by
Tweed and his associates, the candidates neces-
sarily came from the republican party and
were supported and elected by the people in
good fath, regardless Of their political senti-
ments. 1t is needless now to comment on the
character Of the men to whom the public
trusts were then transferred. The notorious
corruption Of the State Legislature, with its
three-fourths majority of professed reformers,
10 iumilluE W ul OuE Te6uerS, ana re-
cent developments have shown that
acts of questionable official propriety may be
committed with impunity behind the mask of
reform. This year the people desired to CON-
plete the work commenced year ago, and to
restore the compactness and efficiency of the
city government The politicians, as usual
took up the reform cry for their own purposes,
and each side claimed monopoly of the
virtue. If the reform organizations had acted
impartially between them the result would not
have been doubtful. As it is we have trian-
gular fight for Mayor, while the air is thick
with rumors of trades, bargains and frauds
upon the franchise. the suspicion of which
could never attach to an honest reform move
ment.

The following is an extract from a
letter, to business firm in Crcsc, :
ave are Of the opinion that the FARM
ers of the Northwest will reap rich
reward fer their labor the present sea-
son, with the prospect Of a bourtiful
harvest and largely increased foreign
demand, in consequence of the calami-
tous innundation of the largest wheat
producing region in the world, prices
of cereals must advance. Austro- Hum
gary has supplied Europe with millions
of bushels Of wheat annually; the popu-
lation of this vast region are now desti-
tute; everything is swept away and
they must import their bread-stuff from
the United States. Those portions Of
Europe that had heretofore consumed
the surplus products of Hungary, must
draw their supplies from us,and higher
prices must rule" a-
From the New York Times


From Austro- Hungary comes intelli-
gence which renders it certain that
great demand will be made upon the
wheat crop Of America for this year.
In various portions Of the monarchy the
prospect Of the crops has been COM
pletely destroyed. Hungary has been
termed the granary Of the world; the
black, fertile soil of the Banat is SO well
adapted to raising wheat that frequently
from thirty to forty bushels Of choice
wheat have been raised to the acre.
Now this region is completely inunda-
ted with water.


From the Chicago Journal


To our farmers, with a surplus supply
of wheat, large and profitable foreign
market will be opened this year in
Austro-H Hungary. This region, hitherto
the great granary Of Europe, is inunda-
ted this summer, and, instead of ex-
porting the precious cereal next winter
and spring, the people must look to
other countries for wheat whereof to
make their bread. From the United
States the main supply will be drawn,
not only for the flooded grain region,
but for the kingdoms that have hither-
to depended on the soil Of the Banat
for their extra share Of grain. This
will give impetus to the great wheat
producing region Of the Northwest,
and the chances are that the vast
grain store-houses of that fertile section
will be empticd this year to the profit
Of the industrious producers.

EDITOR PLAIN DEALER.-Public Of
fcals ale the peoples servants and their
official acts are rightfully subject to
criticism, and the accumulation Of the
school money from January to July.
Gas appears by the Auditors report to
the Board of Supervisory furnishes
ample ground for popular complaint
and just ground for criticism, and the
tax payers commend and approve the
courage that criticises.


The Auditor calls on HowARp and
explains the accumulation as follows
Men apply for loans but their land is
encumbered, and school money can
only be loaned on unincumbered ground
and the applicant agrees to pay inter-
est from the day the application is
made. (But how is it if the loan is
never taken? Does the applicant then
pay the interest, and to what time p
Ed. p. D.


The Auditor alleges that under that
state of facts the County looses no
interest on the accumulated money,
and he denies all interference with the
Clerk as to who is, or who shall be
taken as surety on stay bonds; and
that the only case that came to his
knowledge Of faultfnding, was at once
corrected by the signature Of a respon-
sible man, and he also denies making
pet loans.


He politely asked me to make his
statement public. l do it cheerfully.
aud you will allow me to say that the
business of tho house in which / do
business has been done kindly, prompt
ly and accurately by the Auditor, and
there are no unkind feelings existing
against him ; and what has been writ
ten has been written in good faith and
as an act Of public justice, and has the
popular approval.


The Auditors frankness and desire to
set himself right is commendable.


We shook hands for the first time.


We are ready to explain, but We are
not much On the confessional and have
never learned to back.
| We believe, and when We say How
ard County needs reform in men and
measures, we only repeat tie public
sentiment Of the County.
We belieue in rotation in Office as
both wise and safe.


! Why cannot the current expenses Of
the county be promptly paid and the
employees not have to be shaved twen-
ty dollars OH hundred.


Does the Clerk, the Treasurer and
the Auditor have to stand the shave,
or do they get dollar for dollar? Mr..
Editor, no man believes these officers
or the Board of Supervisors stand
shave.

The following is about the strongest ar gument we have ever seen used in favor of the speedy building of one or more trans continental railroads below the snow line. Speaking of the blockaded region, the Cor inne Reporter says.

 Probably 1000 men are employed in that region now, shoveIing snow wages per day S3. 10; per night, S6.20 Often, after men have worked without cessation for 4S hours, and completely exhausted, taken few hours sleep, they have wakened to find their cut filled again while they slept. The snow sheds have been found to be too loose and slight, 90 that in some instances they have been completely filled with snow from end to end. The snow fences have apparently served to collect the snow, having been plac- ed too near the track. 1t has filled up level between them, and again between the second tier and even the third. Men would, on the start, shovel three feet of snow and dirt, nearly as hard as ice, off the track, making the banks six feet nigh. This had to be done over and over again; the second time there would be six feet to throw out, and when done the banks would be twelve feet high. and SO on until the snow cuts in some places are from thirty to forty feet deep. Again there are places where the track is an embankment and obstructed as badly as in the cuts. This is on account of rising land near by, on one side or the other, or both, which acts like fence in catching and lods ing the snow.

 Now, we are not of those who cry out against the Government for having aided the building of this blockadcd road. Not at all. It has already rendered the country. great service in more ways than one. and, as a Summer route is all right. But it never can be made reliable Winter route, and, for this reason, the proposed roads over the two feasible routes which pass through this Ter ritory, should be pushed through as speedily as possible, if we are to enjoy the benefits of the immense trade which has already sprung up between the eastern and western shores of this continent.
