THE Mayor can be City Judge and the City Judge can be Mayor.—Journal. A clergyman might tend a bar, and a bar-tender might officiate in the pulpi t, but such an arrangement wouldn't seem quite in accordance with "the eternal fitness of things."

A WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENT states that advices continue to be received from different places in the South, showing the most unmitigated diabolism and cruel* -ty against the Union white and colored citizens. The negroes can not remain in the country districts with safety, and are flocking to the cities for protection. There they can not find work, and the result can readily be imagined. In many of the border counties all the negroes who can raise the means are going into the

Northern States. The South will be depopulated of labor shortly if they do not change their policy.

THE utter inactivity of the great navy of France is noticed as one of the most remarkable features of the Franco-Prus-^ sian war. Mighty deeds were expected from this arm of. the service, and no wonder, for Louis NAPOLEON had raised its standard to a point of efficiency thai alarmed even maritime England. Yet this great fleet of powerful iron clads, armed with the best modern naval guns, did not capture a single German war vessel, while a number of French gunboats in inland waters fell into the hands of the always victorious Prussians. The historians of the war will probably show why it was that the costly and apparently formidable navy of France did so little service in the Jate terrible struggle.

THE newspapers are serving up a story of a well-known French restaurateur of New York who left the city in the early days of the war that has not yet been definitely settled over there in France. He entered the army of his native country as a private, and it is now stated, on good authority, that in one of the battles in which he was engaged he killed eleven Prussians in seven minutes with his chassepot. Another report makes out that seven Prussians in eleven minutes made the exact number that fell to the breech-loader of the gastronomic hero. His wife, who remains in New York city, and is in the corset business, maintains that the first report is the correct one, and the Cincinnati Times insists that, as she ought to know, of corset is.

MB. 1 KOUDE, the English historian, in a contribution on "Progress" reproduced in the Living Age from Frazer's Magazine, says: "The entire civil service of this country has been opened amidst universal acclamations to public competition. Any one who is" not superannuated, and has not incurred notorious disgrace may present himself to the Board of Examiners, and win himself a place in a public department. Every one knows that if the heads of departments were honestly to look for the fittest person that they could

find

to fill a vacant office, they could ,make better selections than can be made for them under the new method. The alteration means merely that these superior persons will not, or canuot, use their patronage disinterestedly, and that of two bad methods of choice, the choice by ex amination is the least miscihevous. The world calls this progress."

THE managers of the Terre Haute Academy of Music attempted to run show without the accompaniments wine, women, vulgarity and beer," but failed. The people hadn't been "educat ed up to that point.—Ind, Sentinel,

That is rather rough on Terre Haute, and the last sentence is a very low-down falsehood but a city that permits the existence of such an establishment as the "Academy of Music" has been, during the greater part of its infamous and vile

career, cannot expect to escape lashing, A city government—we speak of those whose duty it is to enforce the laws and preserve order and decency—that will not only license but patronize such dam nable abominations is sure to bring a community into disgrace. Have our order-loving citizens had enough of it?

Two years ago Australia enacted protective tariff to encourage her native woollen manufactures against the imported woollens of the mother country. The Dominion of Canada has for many years maintained a protective tariff against English importations, and has lightened the burden of taxes on her own people by collecting a part of them from English manufacturers. During the past session the protective features of her tariff have been increased, both from motives of revenue and to extend protection to her salt, lumber, coal, and other interests And now, according to the London Times the leading statesmen of India are comin to perceive that the one thing need© for the revival of the ancient prospenty and wealth of India is the restoration of her ancient manufactures. For this they ask such legislation as will enable the Hindoos again to spin and weave their own wools and cottons instead of receiving their supply from England. So, in spite of the efforts of England to propagate free trade, her own three leading colonies repudiate the theory. Ireland, too, if she enjoyed the advantages of a local parliament, would be the first to call for a re*1VT °J ®e.r manufactures and protection to Irish spinners and weavers.

SpuRGEOK-began life as usher in a school at .Newmarket, delivered sermons at the early age of seventeen, and gained quite a reputation as the "Boy Preacher." For a number of months he preached in a barn at Waterbeach, and drew such crowds that numbers could not get inside, but atood under the sky to hear the sound of bis voice.

KILL OR

*HON. J. A.GARFIELD is delighted with the "splendid charge" of Judge R. F. PAINE in the GALENTINE murder case, and writes as follows in a letter to the

Judge: "The whole country owes you a debt of gratitude for brushing away the wicked absurdity which has lately been

palmed off on the country as law on the subject of insanity. If the thing had gone much further, all that a man would need to secure immunity from murder would be to tear his hair and rave a little, and then kill his man."

Ct'RE.

Froni'Chaniber'* Journal.] One evening, late in November, an elderly man with beetling brows piercing gray eyes, thin compressed lips, and long, bony hands, sat in a shabbily furnished room, in a splendid old house, casting up accounts by the light of a single candle. The weather being cold, one of those baskets for live coals which are sometimes most appropriately called "killjoys" glimmered in the huge grate. The door of the room, which opened into the fine oak pannelled hall, was ajar, and presently, a servant girl, bearing a light, flitted by from the staircase. Her master called her. ."Hi, Jenny! come here. What makes you look so scared? Is vour mistress worse?" "I'm afaid so, Sir Timothy." "Eh! what?—really bad?"' "Ye-es." "Going to die?" "She says so, Sir Timothy, and oh! she looks it too. O, sir,"cried the girl earnestly, blurting out what was on her soul, "if she were to die without a doctor!"

This abnormal philosophy shocked Sir Timothy Graham also, the invalid being in a manner dear to him. It was a very general notion among his neighbors and tenants that the man was incapable of caring for anything but this was preju* dice he did care for his wife, after his own fashion. It was not perhaps, an enthusiastic attachment, or a deep one I don't suppose that he loved her as well as a good bargain, for example but comparisons are odious.

He remained silent for a while, looking down, and then muttered, "I declared that I would never send for that fellow, Radford, again which was an error on his part he had never made that rash observation—it was Mr. Radford who had vowed he would not come. "Shall Charles go for Dr. Radford, please, Sir Timothy?" "There's no one else so I suppose he must."

Jenny vanished in search of the foot man-groom-gardener named Charles and her master tried to get back to his sum, but made a mistake of two-pence-farthing, and lapsed into reverie.

Sir Timothy Graham was not a nice man, but if he had remained indifferent to his wife's condition he would have been a monster. She had now, for thirty years, devoted herself to the difficult task of pleasing him she had brought him money and saved him money born economical, she had developed this faculty into extreme meanness, to gain his approbation. Passion would have been out of place at hi3 age, and hers, but he esteemed her.

After a hard day's work, Mr. Radford had turned into bed with the snug conviction that he was going to remain undisturbed up to 8 o'clock on the following morning for his last "lady's case" was going on as favorably as if civilization had been unknown, and no fellow creature looked to him for introduction into the world for the next fortnight to come. But at half-past 11 his sleep was broken by the night-bell, and he had to wrench himself from his warm nook in the feathers, and feel for his dressing-gown and slippers, blunder to his dressing-room, which looked out on the front of the house, and open the window. "What is it?" he siiouted, shivering as the night air blew in upon his face and played about his unprotected legs. pieaf,

sir

u's me-"

Idiot —your name? "Charles, from the Hall." .g "Then, Charles from the Hall, you may go back again, for I am not coming." "My Lady is very ill, sir." "Can't help it. Tell your master that I won't attend him or his family and he need send no more messages, as I shall shall muffle the night bell." And with these words the doctor banged down the window. "What are you doing, John?" said a voice from the bed, presently. "Tying a stocking around the clapper of this confounded bell." "What for?" "To get a good sleep, in spite of Sir Timothy Graham." "Why, he has never sent for you!" "He has, though, the insolent screw his wife's ill." "Oh, well, don't tie up the bell, John she may be really bad dying, you know." "What is that to me?" l"I know they have treated us very badly a rich man like that to refuse to pay for your attendance it is unheard of! But other people might want vou." "Not likely." "No but it is just possible. Don muffle the bell."

I need hardly tell the married reader that the Doctor get growling into bed with the bell-clapper free to rouse him out again. In an hour's time the provok ing bit of iron availed itself of the liber ty, but for some minutes Mr. Radtord de clined to stir. Consideration for his wife rest, however, at length induced him to turn out once more, and again go through the process of refrigeration. "Sir Timothy's messenger, again suppose?" he cried. "No," replied a well-known voice am' here myself." "For what purpose, Sir Timothy Gra ham, do you come and disturb me when you know very well, I never intend to en ter your house again?" "Ay, ay," replied the voice from below "but this is not a time to bear fnalice. tell you that my wife is dangerously illdying, I believe and if she dies for want

of medical assistance, you will be resDon sible." "No sir the responsibility will lie on your own shoulders. I am a poor man working hard for a living, but no one ever knew me to neglect a patient be cause he could not pay me. Two-thirds of my work is done for nothing, or next to nothing, and those who can afford it ought to take some share of the burden, more especially you, the lord of the manor, under whose protection the whole poor are placed by Provideece. Instead of which, you refuse to pay me for actual attendance upon yourself andyour family for upward of a year "Stay,stay!" cried Sir Timothy "vou mistake I never refused to pay you only omitted to do so. You are really wrong to look upon it as a personal matter, because I never pay unless I am actually obliged. Why did you not bring an action? But come, let us see if we can not do business together. Save my wife, and I'll give you a hundred pounds. There!"

Eh?" said Mr. Radford, staggered. "But you know there is no taking your word for anything." "Come down and let me in, and I will put the promise down in black and white," said Sir Timothy. "That sounds like business," replied the Doctor, not altogether sorry for an excuse for going to the aid of a dying woman. So he shut the window, put on some clothes, and admitted Sir Timothy Graham, taking him into his consulting room and lighting the gas. "Now, how am I to word it?" inquired the Baronet taking up a pen, and arranging a sheet of foolscap before him. promise to pay the sum £100 to Mr. John Radford, surgeon, if he cures' "No, no," interrupted the Doctor, "it only quacks who make such bargains that 1 must have my fee, whether 1 am successful or not." "Very good—'surgeon, for attendance upon my wife, kill or cure." Will that do?" "Yes, that will do but sign it "Oh, oh! I forgot. How stupid." And Sir Timothy appended his name to the document, which Mr. Radford locked up in his desk and then putting on his great coat and hat, he left the house with his successful visitor.

He found Lady Graham very ill indeed, quite past human aid in fact and though he was quite indefatigable in his

attendance, and performed that feat which is popularly called "exhausting the resources of his art," she sank on the third day. The widower was not inconsolable. The undertaker took some timber which had lately been felled, in part payment of expenses and, on the very day of the funeral, Sir .Timothy let a farm, the leaseof which had expired, at an increased rent, without having to do as much in the way of repairs as he had anticipated so that he was enabled to bear his domestic misfortunes like a Spartan.

After a decent lapse of time, M. Radford sent in a note referring to the prom* ise which Sir Timothy Graham had made him, and requesting a check for a hundred pounds and no answer being vouchsafed to this communication, he presently wrote again in more urgent language but the second letter was ignored as quietly as the first. Then the good Doctor got angry, and meeting his debtor one day in the course of his rounds, he upbraided him with his conduct, and threatened to take legal proceedings. "Quite right, Doctor—quite right," said Sir Timothy. "Force me to pay you, and I will do it but I never part with a farthing, except under compulsion it is against my principles and I am sorry I cannot make an exception in your favor."

So Mr. Radford put the matter in the hands of a lawyer and in due time the case came on. It was a gay day in the little country town, for the case excited a great deal of curiosity and amusement the poor Doctor, who was a general favorite had been pitilessly chaffed, though everybody hoped for and anticipated his success and the court was crowded with country magnates. It added to the attraction of the affair that Sir Timothy Graham, with all his faults, had the merit of being consistent h« would not employ a lawyer, but conducted his own case, Of course the Doctor's solicitor was jubilant, and quoted the proverb which avers that a man who so acts has a fool for his client. "Not but what the case is clear enough," he added "all the lawyers in London could not get off paying it."

And indeed it did seem simple. The Doctor was put into the witness-box, and told his story and Sir Timothy did not question the correctness of it on the contrary, he openly said, that to the best of his remembrance ieverything had occurred exactly as described. "But," he said, "I should like to look at the document which has been alluded to, and ask the plaintiff a question or two about it."

The memorandum was handed to him, and he read it aloud: "I promise to pay the sum of £100 to Mr. John Radford, surgeon, for attendance upon ray wife, kill or cure." Exactly. "Well," said Mr. Radford, "did you cure her?" "No, that was impossible." fe "3 "Did you kill her?" '. .„•* 'I', 1 ,V J.I/«K» .u •, fcjM -J/T iris

Joseph Wheaton whips his Child to Death—A Heart-rending Outrage From the Grand Rapids, Mich., Eagle.J

We have learned the particulars of a njurder which occurred on Monday, Jan* uary 30, in Allegan County, township of Wayland, and not far from- Yankee Springs in Barry County. It appears that a desperate character, by the name of Joseph Wheaton, lost his wife several years ago, who left him a young child, a little boy, somewhere about one year old, which he gave away legally to a Mr. Baird, of Yankee Springs.

This family kept him, unmolested until last fall, when Wheaton stole the child from Mr. Baird, who recovered him in turn, when Wheaton prosecuted Baird for "kidnapping" his child, thecomplaint being made before Justice Cobb, of Middleville, who rendered ajudgment delivering the child up to Mr. Baird and wife, who are wealthy people, and who had become very strongly attached to the child, they having no children. Upon leaving the court-room, and passing into the street, Wheaton again attempted to steal the child out of Mr. Baird's arms, and finally did so, after breaking one of the child's limbs in the melee, running off with it in the dark, it being evening, and secreting himself with the child in the woods, with a family, some three miles from town.-

When his hiding place wa& found and he was approached by the Sheriff, he fired upon that officer and left the child making his escape into a swamp, but was afterward found and the matter compromised. Wheaton agreeing to leave the child with Mr. and Mrs. Baird unmolested. With them the child did remain until a few days ago, when Whea ton stole the child again and because the child would not stay with him, being strongly attached to Mr. and Mrs. Baird he whipped it to death. In the agonies of death the child's screams attracted six men to the house, but too late to deliver it from the tormentor's hands. When this demon of a father was confronted by these men, he seized an ax and avowed his intention to split the first man that laid hands upon him, and made his escape from them to the woods, they being unarmed.

The excitement of the whole country around is terrible and the people turned out en masse with arms, hunting the mur derer.

Since the death of this child's mother, the father it appears, has lived with several lewd women, but at the time he first stole the child, he had "got a woman he intended to keep," as he expressed himself, and this was the only excuse for stealing the child. The mother is represented as having been a worthy woman. The child was some six or seven years old.

Chicago and St. Loais Change Places From the Peoria Democrat.] Most of the large wholesale houses af Chicago have for years kept out an army of "drummers," who have traversed the country and built up for their employers a vast trade, and have contributed in a good degree to that unparalleled condit ion of commercial prosperity which has awaited that city. But Chicago merchants have concluded to dispense with the services of these commercial agents, and to send out circulars instead. There are probably not more than half as many traveling now, for Chicago houses, as there were a year ago. It is pretended that the expense thus saved to the importer and jobber, is deducted from bills made by country merchants. Whether that is really done, those country merchants can tell better than weTiar. but it is highly probable that the profit of the transaction stays in first hands.

But while Chicago has concluded to falL back on its former prestige, and in the most dignified manner waits for the trade that she used to solicit, St. Louis, Boston, New York, and other competing cities, taking courage from her example, are sending out more "runners," and pushing their trade in striking contrast with thesupineness of the Western city. We are informed by a gentleman who has the best opportunity of knowing whereof he affirms, that the cities named, this year, have sent 'out double the number of 'drummers" that they have employed before, and he thinks that is a low estimate and while these Eastern cities and St. Louis have thus increased their force, Chicago has diminished hers in the proportion of fifty per cent, at least. The result that ought to have been expected by any thorough commercial man begins to be visible. Merchants are ordering mainly from New York, Boston and St. Louis, who have'heretofore made their purchases to a large extent in Chicago.

This fact, of itself, is sufficient to show that the beautiful theory that goods will be sold lower to retail dealers, than under the old system, is a sham. Every one knows where a large business is transacted, the percentage of profit can be made smaller than when a limited business is done. So if the. policy of Chicago

results in smaller dies, as it must, beyond dispute, then the merchants will need all the money saved by the economical method they have adopted, to eke out the usual yearly profits. It looks very much as if Chicago, after a long day ot intense labor and activity, is preparing for a night of rest while St. Loais, refreshedoy a season of repose, is patting on the work-day suit, preparatory for a day of toil and business. To think of Chicago as a fogy in business, and of St. Louis as radical. Here is something new.

THE Scioto Qaxtte proposes- Gen. Charles E. Brown, of Chillicothe, as the next Republican candidate for Governor of Ohio, and saystf the man of its choice: "Gin. Brown was bom and -bred in Hamilton county, Oh id is a graduate of Miami University, at Oxford, and is a gentleman of a high order of intellectual and legal attainments. Early in the late civil war he was enrolled as a private soldier, and by dint of merit alone, unaided by political, social or moneyed influence, won his way to the bars of a Briga-dier-General. In the bloody fighting before Atlanta, Gen Brown, then in command of the 63d Ohio, was grievously wounded, the wound being so serious as to occasion the loss of a leg, and place his life in jeopardy. In all nis career no one has ever had cause to doubt the sincerity of his principles as a Republican, or his gallantry as a soldier, and his standing as a gentleman and worthy citizen, entitle him to a substantial recognition at the hands of his fellow*citizens."

DURING the year which has just clossed, 503 lives were rescued by the life boats of the British National Institution and 21 vessels wet$ saved from destruction. Rewards were granted for saving 271 lives by fishing ana other boats not connected with the organization.
