The manner in which Governor Hayes has
always disregarded the machine policy aud
spoil system is shown by his entire action as a
public man. 1t is a remarkable fact in his
political course that he has not in any political
canvass ever given the leading politicians any
influence over him, and that after the election.
whenever an attempt of the kind was made, he
has ignored the Leaders who proposed to take
him in tow. In his appointments to Office he
has repeatedly acted in direct opposition to the
dictates of the party leaders. He proceeded
this way in the appointment of trustees for the
Ohio state institutions. He made it a rule to
give the Democratic minority representation,
and therefore General Thomas Ewing, one of
the most prominent Democratic leaders In the
state, who made himself specially noticeable
by his action against Hayes in the campaign
last year, was appointed by him trustee Of the
Soldiers Home and Judge Pugh, of Columbus,
another active Democrat and party leader. was
appointed trustee of the Reform School for
Children. In the appointment of the Police
Commission of Cincinnati. which has so i'm
portant patronage at its disposal he also
gave position to Democrat.


Among the five judges on the Commission
on the Supreme Court to which many promi-
nent Republican lawyers eagerly aspire, he
gave one position to a prominent Democrat
retained o large number of the officials ap-
pointed BY Governor Allen, or reaappointed
them. He simply pursued the theory of the
right of the minority to representation, and
acted according to the principle Of impartiality
and justice, and in accordance with that theory
which he embraced, he was the one specially
who carried through the law which has intro
duced in every district in Ohio the minority
representation in the electoral committees. In
short, neither in regard to the circle in which
he moves, nor in his style of thought, nor in
whole political career has he ever had anything
in common with the machinepolitcians against
whom he ten years ago took a stand in Con-
gress in favor of the improvement of the civil
service, and he was always the one who most
actively supported Jencks from Rhode Island,
in promoting such a reform.

The Boston Journal relates the following:


HAmong the many horses owned by the
Highland Street Railroad Company IS one
who used to give the hostlers a deal OF
trouble by slipping his halter and roaming
at will about the stable. The halter was
on each occasion buckled on as tightly as
possible, but to no purpose, for the horse
would invariably be found half an hour af-
forwards making a dignifed tout OF the
stable. This became monotonons to the
hostler. and he determined to ascertain the
plodus operandi by which his equine friend
secured his liberty, Again the halter was
tightly buokled on, and taking seat where
he could watch his troublesome charge, he
awaited developments. Pretty soon
horse who stood beside the troublesome
one was observed to poke his nose into his
neighbor's stall, and catching the end OF
the halter strap between his teeth, he pull
ed at it. His first, second and third at
tempts to unloose the buckle were unavalI-
ing. but with remarkable perseverance the
horse returned to his work repeatedly, and
finally out dropped the buckle tongue, the
throat strap fell, and the horse OF lnqulsl-
tive mind was saap stalking about the
stable AGAIN. A change of location was
of course necessary. A large, homely, pie
bald, gelding, owned by this company,
used to manifest a strange regard for
white mare he formerly worked beside. In
the stable he was hitched with rope halter
and, until chain was substituted, he
used to gnaw of his halter, march deliber-
ately to the stall occupied by his mate, and
squeeze himself into the same stall, which
was only large enough to accommodate one
horse comfortably, and a good deal of ef-
fort was required to separated the equlneS:.
after they had become wedged in so closely. .

Be patient with your friends. They are
neither omniscient nor QmnipOtent. They
cannot see your heart and may misunder-
stand you. They cannot know what is
best for you, and may select what is worst.
Their arms are short and they may not be
able to reach what you ask. What if they
also lack purity of purpose and tenacity OF
affection; do you not also lack these graces
Patience is your refuge. Endure; and, en-
during, conquer them; and if not them,
then at least yourself. Above all be pa
tient with YOUR beloved. Love is the best
thing on earth, but it is to be handled ten
derly, and impatience is a nurse that kills
it.


Be patient with your pains. and cares.
We know it is easy to say and hard to do.
But you must be patient. These
things are killed by enduring them, and
made strong to bite and sting by feeding
them with your frets and fears. There is
no pain or care that can last long. A little
while, and you shall leave The whole troop
of bowling troubles behind, and forget in
YOUR first sweet hour of rest that such
things existed on earth.


Be patient with your deferred hopes.
The heart is sick, no doubt, but SICK hearts
must take the tonic of patience. All that
is worth hoping for viii come. The hoFe
itself is put in peril by impatience that
weakens and prostrates your strength. Here
also you have no better resort than patience.
You will reach next year just as soon by
taking it quietly; the end of your prePara-
tion for life's work-your apprenticeship or
college course-wil come Of Itself. The
end Of all your labor is not far beyond, and
need not be sighed for or impatiently ex-
pected. Clad in patience you walk IN
visible armor against which temptations to
repine and murmur fall harmless, Put on
patience against your hungry hope.


Be patient with yourself. YOu are full
of faults aud your life abounds in blunders.
Do not lash yourself sore with self-debase-
ment. Some confidence in Yourself IS
needful to your success. Methodist

l know it is thought very often that men

Take, for example, the case of the cata-
ract Of Niagara. The Niagara river has
formed its own valley, has cut ITS way
back through the plateau of rock from
which it falls for some six miles. Now, the

not been positively gscartained, but we may
ha certain that the work of cutting back
does not go on at the rate of yard year.

thousand such cars. The passengers who
don't happen to sit in the corner seats gen
orally get out through the window. so that
before throwing the can away, the man has
a choice of seats on both sides with the
privilege, as far as the conductor is con-
cerned, of putting both cushions on one
side, and lying down, with his feet cooked
up on the indicator. Another pleasant and
efficient method is to label small valise
marked Savannah, and carry it with the
labelled side out, assuming, meanwhile, a
distorted expression of countenanee, as
though the symptoms were approaching a
crisis. This plan is rather more genteel
than the oyster can method and operates
with equal suddenness.


Boston TRANSCRIPT

Sometimes in the cities, but very fre-
quently in country places, one will see by
| the side of a spring or rivulet a square of
cotton cloth suspended by sticks at the
four corners, in such a way as to form a
basin. Upon the cloth is written name
and the invocation, Manu- n1iO hO rem ge
kiO-'sGlory to the salvation-bringing
Scriptures. Near by, perhaps in the hOl-
low of the CLOTH Is wooden diper, and by
it stands an upright lath, notched at the
top, and inscribed with a brief legend in
Sanskrit characters. Ever and anon a
passer by, most likely woman, will pause,
offer up prayer, pour dipper full of wa
ter into the hollow of the cloth and wait
till every drop has strained through, all
the while murmuring prayers. In almost
all Eastern faiths there is something Of
impurity connected with birth and death.
The newly made mother must be purified /;
a corpse is impure, and transmits its un-
cleanness to any one who touches it. When
death and birth come together, as when
a woman dies in childbirth, the impurity IS
intensified. 1t is a sure token that the
mother has in some former cycle of exist
ence committed some awful transgression,
and is now suffering for it in some fearful
metempsy Ghosts, from which she cannot be
released until her spirit has been purified
from this mortal stain. The Glowing in
vocation" is vicarious rite of lustration,
and is accomplished only when the cloth is
worn out so that the waterno longer drains,
but falls through at once. Then the freed
spirit rises to higher cycle of existence.
Like Catholic masses for the dead, it is a
touching rite, whatever we may think of
its efficasy. ''But, says Mr.. Grifis, tthe
cotton cloth inscribed with the name of
the deceased, to be efficacious, can be pur-
chased only at the temples. 1t is no secret
that rich people are able to secure a napkin
which when stretched but few days will
rupture and let the water through at once.
The poor man can only get the stoutest and
closest woven fabric; the rich mans nap
kin is scraped thin in the middle"

the reason why this county should
have been allowed to drag its local
existence wearily along, year after

it has been permitted apparently
to occupy. 1t il enough to know
that this position was by no means
justified by the wealth and pros

that the present Board Of Commis-

of their predecessors, and have
practically expressed their recog-

the necessary steps towards adyanc-
ing their county to that position,

its local prosperity bespeak for i.
