Kvery Government baa a cheaper money, or have paper money; but the balanoe of trade la alwas payable 1 coin, and It always goes last where It beloDg".

If he will atndy that be will understand the financial rale I have Just referred to. BF.rrBLicAir ijtorts to pbevisi the circcLATIOff Or 6ILVER Tb- Republicans now claim that they have brouali ; the llver dollar from Its biding place. I have trld to show yon bow they retired It to it billing place, aiid I now propose to show yon how tuev are endeavoring to keep it there. The kpublican party, as I have Ma ed. Is weeded to Ihe doctrine of having no'hing as money but gold. Ever slooe the retnonetizatlon of slivtr by the Democratic partv iu the leaders of the Kt-pobiican party have sought In every way possible U pivludce the people against its uw. John Sherman, when In the Senate of the United s$tare.iposed the remonetizatlon of all vera bitterly &i did Mr. Uarfleld, and since Mr. Sherman has been Secretary of the Treasury, hehaliwed noopportuntty topassln which ha could lmpraa upon the minds of the people the impracticability of using ailver a-tuioTvy. lie combined with the bankers of New YoiK against it. lie had his Assistant. Treasuier made a member Of the Clearing House Board of New York City, and then, according to a resolution passed by the Hoard (the A8Hitant Treasurer of the United States being a member thereof), silver was not to bo olferfd in payment for any balance due any nimber of that Board, and was not to be recti vel lu bau k t nly to be paid back in kind. All this Uniiag to embarrass the business community In handling it. A buhlntsH man wants to deposit In ba.uk wnat he receives, and check out of bank aa hU necessities require, it wai weil known io Mr. Bherman that u arrangement of that kind was calculated to bring about great opposition to tho use of Miver a money : and that accounts for the prejudice amoug business men of the Kaat Kainfciiver. He has constant y refused to baud out silver in the payment of our bonded debt, whl e ihe sliver he hat on hand is a legal ten i-T lor every do;lar tnai we owe. Bathe prefer to KHue new bond, bearing lnwre.4t, and sell them to buy goll with. Instead of paying out the silver he has on hand. If ho wuuld pay It oat on the bonded dbt of th, coaatry we would nave thelasuingof new bLd juit to the amount of tilver that he haa on hand, and the tnteiet upon the bonds alo. Mr. berman has never lost hope of bringing the law Into outempt; he even showed a disregard lor the law maaing sliver a legal teuder. Although he in our hired man, and hi only ba-irean Is to crry out the laws pHssnl by CoiiKrox. Instead of carrying them out he hits the lw at defiance. Not being aw ire, apparently, of the intelligence of ill peope he ws talking to, he uaaon many orca-tious asserted tt.at he con Id not pay out tne Bhver. If any business man had an agtnt employ nl, as we have Mr Sherinrn, to pay out roo..ey i:i bank on indebtedness, which was a Iok-U tender, for every debt he owed, were tho ax-nt to seep the deposit in bank and lawu cew no:es bearing Interest In settlement of thi debts and in payment rf tbe old notes of his employer, he would be discharged instautly. Any man cau pay out money that lie has on hand if he owcit debb tar in excensof the money he has ou band. That is ihe condition of the Government. ml eherman says that the el ver money woeu paid out immediately comes back. That lslheortlce of money, and that dollar wh cU passes the most rapidly in performing exchanges, is tne dollar we want. If the silver donar coiaM back raoldly to Mr. Sherman lu the p) turut of debts doe as, after having been (.aid oat on debts we owe, It 1 then ready for another payment, and that Is Jim what a business man wants when oepys oat a dodar on debts that be owes, to receive it back on debts due him. There never was soch an etfjrt made since the formation of the Government to set at defiance the taw or the land as there has been made bv tne Republican party to discountenance silver, and banish Has money. Yet, ou the eve of au election, io the lace of the record, a id in the face of the message of Mr. Hayes, and his vetoing of the silver bill the bill lor tne remoneiiz-itlon of silver, and in his late message recommending Congress to stop the cotonge rt silver dollars, many Bepuottcahs now claim, as did Mr. Porter in UM late i-pch, that they are the especial friend of sliver. A RKPCBLICAS BCGABOO. Mr Porrer al-o, in his late speech. took great pains to ry ana get up a sensation because of the in troa action of a bill in the Lower Housa l iXkQifreKM to have the number of Haprema Judges Increustd, a be says, to twenty-one. X know of noone.except himself, who p'ofeasei any tear of the passage of such a law. The simple lntroJuctlon of a bill in Congress rauUDUttonolhlDg. Unless it can be shown that there was home favorable action taken on such a bill, 1 am somewhat astonished that he shoald reter to it. If sacb a bill was introduced and no ctlon taken thereon, there Is no evidence that it embraced the vi ws of mere tnatJone man. In a body of 3u0 meraberodf one of them nhomd introduce such a bill, why should there be any fear expressea, and why should the attempt be made to raise unnecessary alarm? ASOTHIB WAVE Or THE BLOODY SHIRT. Mr. Porter and other cf our Republican friends still appear to have great dread of the Brigadiers of the South. I mean the Demo crailc Br gadiers from the South. Republican administrations, ever since the war, have nevr fai.ed to take Into their embrace and their confidence a Brigadier from the couth wno was willing to support the policy of the Republican party. W henever such a man expresses a wlllingues to support it, he ;s Immediately reconstructed, and becomes at once a new man. And Republican administrations have taken into their embrace and given lucrative appointments to Southern Brigadiers who were not engaged in honorable warfare. I refer partiou'any to one Moeby, who was engaged in a guerrilla warlare against unarmed persons. They brought Mr. Keys into the Caoinet, where he was the commander of about 21,ouo ptmaWs aud uenerai Longstreet, who was placed in a lucrative position in New Orleans, has recently been appointed to a profitable f reign mission. All bat one or two of tne seventy odd conspirators who figured in the manufacture of forged testimony, upon which the inauguration of Mr. Hayes was consummated, have been placed in profitable positions by the fraud that they carried oat I mean the fraudulent Preslient they inaugurated. Hearing Republicans express dread and fear of Brigadiers who are Democrats, and knowing tcelr coarse, as I do. in immediately niacin; in profitable official positions Rebel Brigadiers who are Republicans, my curiosity has been somewhat excited as was the Irishman's I once beard of. A chemUtt had Invented and was showing a liquid that would consume not only glass and iron, bnt anything that was put in it, when an Irishman standing by remarked very earnestly: "Faith and bejabers sir, I won Id be pleased to know what it is made or." I. too, would be leaded to know what this Republican party i composed of, that it has such alchemistio poveras tocomoUtely and instantaneously reform everybody who comes within its organization. I5DIA5A AFFAIRS DEMOCRATIC KCOJfOMT. As the Democratic candidate for Governor of your State you may expect me to give you some reasons wriy the Democratic party sh ,u d be retained in power in this Commonwealth, especially. For nearly eight years patt the State of Ind:ana b as had tne benefit of a wise, economical and conservative administration under Governor Hendricks and Governor Williams, while in the legislative department we have had bat little power. Two years ago. in our State platform, we prom'sed the people a reduction of interest. We were successful in electing a niajotlty of the members of the lat Uenerai Aaoenab'y,

and tint pledge was promptly redeemed by ithat begltiature. A reduction of 2 percent, was made In the legal Interest of the Stat. I was a iln s imewnat surprised at the claim set np by Mr. Porter . for the tlpnb ican partv that it nad reduced the rate of iuterest in thn State, In the face of the fact I have Jost stated. We also proraiftd the people an economical expenditure of their money. By comparing the expne ncarred ander the management of thi Kef.o"-llc;j party in maintaining the HUte Rei.evc"rit institutions and ur puouc printing, to my i.otalng abont the red act ton ot iptuev i uif management of other deparUaents (wM&i have been great), it will be

found that there has been saved to the teople daring last year In the Insane Hospital alone the earn of 141,406.68; In the Deaf and Dumb Asylum r 257.no, and in the Blind Asylum 14,101.42. We have had exclusive control of the Asylums for but one year. While we have had exclusive control of the At ate printing for six years. The books how that tne saving to the taxpayers of the State in that simple item of expenditure, as comp red with the eight previous years under Republican control, amounts to the euorBons sain of Hö,8U9S5 per annum. The Democratic party in the last six years has saved the taxpayers of Indiana in the one Item of printing alone, the enormons lain of t21.454.10. While the expenses of the Benevok nt Iustitu'lonj of the State have been largely diminished, as ljhave;6tated, it should be remembered that the inmates have been Increased In number, especially In the Insane Hospital; aud also thai the cost of living has been greater the past year than durlog years (immediately preceding; and in the Insane Asylum the Superintendent's report hows thet the disbursement for food was $11,4:4.31 or 11 per cent, more than for the year previous, computed for the same number of InmaUs; and yet the present Democratic officials have i ho wn s"ch extraordinary eon-o-niy in the other expenses of that institution as to save the taxpa ers 141,466 6i in the year 1879, as compared with th annual expenditures under Republican officials. No man can say that the Benevolent Institutions of the State have not been as well managed end cared for as they were under Republican rule; and no one will deny but that tue (Mate print lng has been as well done. Indeed, no department of the State Government has suffereti In the least in efficiency. Peace and order have generally prevailed. It Is true we have bad some labor troub.es, but they have been settled by wise counsels, and the laws have been enforced bv the civil authorities. Not a gun ba been fired daring the eight years of Democratic executive control No property has been destroyed bv violence; and the persons and property ot our ci tizens have been protected I am convinced that in this enlightened age. with prudent and wine management, our laws can be enforced by civil authority without resort to arms. And I think a great deal of this desirable state ol af alis is due to our wise system of commonschools. Intelligence and reason have taken the place of violence and passion. During the labor strike in 1877 many persons thought a resort to arms was neoessarv. I then dlfiered with them, and believing as I did that our trouble, which was then great, could be settled by compromise and argument, I hastened to the office of the Mayor ot Indianapolis, and ruoved the appointment of a Citizens' Committee of Conference My motion was kindly entertained by the Mayor, a good and efficient Committee was appointed, and my highest expectations were fully real zed by the work of that Committee. Pittsburg. Pa., and Columbus, O., by pursuing a different policy, and hastily resorting to arras for the ft-ttl-ment of the same trouble, lost many valuable lives and millions or property. This Is a lesson that should be remembered by all, and ail should profit by it Should I be your Governor, there will not be a gun fired in Indiana lor the purpose of preserving law and order at home until every means hall have been exhausted to restore law and Older tb rough the civil authorities, and ao man would be intrusted by me in command of r-ny force should It be necessary to call out the mtlltla with power to decile the question himself as to the Inability of the civil authorities to restore order. If I are your Governor I will assume the responsibility myself; and if we have to resort to the military of the country to restore order, I will decide that question myself. C05CLÜ8I05. And, now, my fellow-cl'izens, I trust I have convinced you not only that the policy of the Democratic party has ever been in direct opposition to the charge made against it by Mr. Porter and others that a State has 'he rlnht to withdraw from the Union at will, bat that the policy of the Democratic party is and ever has been in favor of the maintenance of the rights of the States ander the Constit ution, to m mage and control all their domestlo affairs without my interference by the Federal Government, while conceding to the Funeral Government the legislative powers provided by toe Constitution of the United States. I trust I have also convinced you that eeees sion was not a State right, but rebellion; that the Republican party, since the close of the

war. has endeavored to pervert oar form of Government from a Government of tht'tyelght free and Independent States into a Government of consolidated power: that the right of a sta e to manage and control her elections without Federal interierencs is necessary to the perpetua'lon of free government; that the right of the states to maintain Courts for the trial ot ail offenses against State laws is imperatively demanded ; that the Republican party Das consolidated tne wealth of this country in the hands of a few, in the same way It baa consolidated the poweis of the States la the hands of the Federal Government; that Its policy was one that bank rupted all the debtor cia.ss, and increased toe enormous fortunes of the creditor class, there by paralyzirg tne Industries or tne country, so that bankruptcy was the rule and not the exception ; that the Democratic party has, by the passage of a law through Cougreas for the rslnaae of grcenlMCkR, checked me decline lu values, which had destroyed confidence in any kind of investments; and, by the remonetlzatlon of the silver dollar, gave the manufacturer and the capitalist an assurance mat there would be more money, encouraged luvestmenta.re stored confidence in future values and relieved the country of the paralyztion and bankruptcy which had been brought oi by Republican policy. Who Took the Orphan. Detroit Free Pres. A few days ago a boy about ton years tf age, lame and sickly, who had been living with his mother in rooms in the city found himself alone in the world. The lad was too ill to ride in the one poor carriage which followed the body to the grave, yet no one thought his condition serious. After the funeral a number of persons gathered in the poverty-stricken room where he lay weeping to see what disposition could be mado of him. "If he wasn't lame I'd take hint into my family," observed one of the men in a tcne that seemed to show he blamed the boy for his misfortune. Well, it's awful hard," sighed one of tha women, '-but I know he couldn't get alonjj with my children." "Nor with mine," added a second. "If I should take him, he'd run up a bi doctor's bill on me," said a man as he filled his pipe. Each and every one had some excuse. The boy heard them all without a word, but with quivering chin and eyes full of tears. Under one pretext and another all slipped out, and left him alone, promising to have another talk in the morning. Perhaps, thatnigbt before they closed their eyes in sleep, so me of them thought of the poor lad lying in the dreary room, alone and almost helpless, but if so none of them went near him. Late in the morning a woman living on the same floor went in to see if he did not want a bite to eat, and the question of who should take care of him was settled. God had taken him. Hugged close to the wall, as f he feared the midnight shadows, and with eye-lashes ye t wet, he was dead and cold, no longer a burden to any one. The boy too lame to be taken care of by any one on earth too feeble to earn the crusts that some one would have given him, had a home better than the the best. "When they knew that he died alone, women bent over him and wept. When they lifted his wasted body from the bed, men's consciences smote them for their harsh words, but it was too late. lie had gone from earth feeling that there was no mercy in the human heart. "Walking skirts and the fashion of filling up the interior of the lower part of the dressskirts with a foundation plaitmsr has done away with the uncleanly extravagance of long trained white skirts. . hite skirts are hardly made now more than walking length, and are popolarly finished with two or three ruffles tucked on the edge and sometimes finished with needlework or lace.

A SPLENDID WOMAN.

One of Brigham Toung'i Daughters Vis it Chicago. She Expresses Her Abhorrence of the Polygamic System Recollections of Life In the Salt Lake Harem. Chicago Inter Ocean, July 29. At the table of one of the principal Chicago hotels yesterday might have been seen a particularly handsome and attractive-looking woman with a complexion of great beauty, abundant golden hair, and a set of the most perfect teeth, which shone like pearls when she smiled. She was dressed in ex treme good taste, in a fashionably-made dress of black brocade and satin, with borde rings of crimson satin. Har white hands, displayed several elegant and costly rings, and her shapely arm was set off to good advantage by the rich lace of her elbow sleeves. She was a woman who would have attracted attention anywhere by her pleasing jpp?aranoo and attractive manners. Had it l-eon generally known that this was Dora Young, the favorite daughter of the great Mor mon apoele, and one of the seven children who prosecuted to successful issue the suit against his estate, receiving a large amount of money and property, the in terest she excited in the minds of observers might have been unpleasantly intensified. Dora Young, until two years ago, was never out of Salt Lake City. Until two years are. she scarcely ever saw a book except her school-books and the Mormon Bible. Until that time she was a firm believer in the Mormon doctrines. Now she regards the whole system as infamous beyond description. Not only has sho been excommunicated by tho 3Iormon Church, buts he has voluntarily forsaken her early home and connections. and intends making her home in some of the States. The successful termination of her suit against her father's estate has mado her mistress of a handsome competence, and, to use her own expression, she feels like a bird who feels for the first time that it can use its wings beyond the confines of its caüe. Of course all who meet hrrerard her with a degree of earnest curiosity. One thing surprises them all, that a young woman" scaroeIv more than a girl, who was born and reared in Brigham Young's harem, should be so entirely at her ease in general society. Her manners are without the least shadow of self-consciousness, and are very pleasant and winning: her use of language is fluent and she expresses herself with great accuracy, correctness and ease. Naturally, all who converse with her are anxious to learn about the peculiar institution, and what the feelings of so gentle and rehned a lady must beto ward Mormon principles and practices. In the first place, while abhorring their polygamous doctrines and practices, she has no animosity toward those among whom she has grown up. Her mother was the seventh wife of Brigham Young, and was an elegant and fashionable woman, whom her husband was fond of presenting to stransrersor takinir to fashionable assemblages. In reply to the questions of some ladies to whom she was introduced she said: "My mother tvas devotedly attached to my father. She worshipped the ground he walked on. She has never been herself since his death." "How many wives were in the house which was your home." ''I was brought up among the wives and children who lived in the Lion House. There were about seventeen wives and forty or forty-two children." "Did your father notice and seem attached to all his children?" "He knew and noticed all of them, but he was much . more attached to some than to others. I was one of his favorites, and I loved him beyond anything that words can tell. When he died I wanted to die, too. He used to come in the evening to hold family prayers in the large room used for that purpose, and if one of the children was missing he would send for it. The statement that is sometimes made, that my father did not know all his children, is false; he knew them all by name and caressed them all. He used to take me with him in his journeys up and down the Territory, and I can assure you I had a nice time. Every indulgence, every attention was lavished on me. My father had a way when he had anything nice for me of giving THE CUTEST LITTLE WINE, and calling me to him with a gesture, saying, Look here what I've got for my daughter Dora. Won't we have a nice time?' He was the most magnetic person I ever knew or heard of. Every touch of his hand and he had a beautiful, soft white hand was a a caress." Ah," said the lady, earnestly, "I can feel the touch of his hand .to this day." So your brothers and sisters all grew up in one house?" 'Yes, we were all one family. The house was just like a large hotel, and we had a school-room built on purpose for us." "Who took charge and managed for this large family?" 44 Well, we generally had a housekeeper, but sometimes one of tho wives would do it. Then there were plenty of servants. It was just like a hotel." "Did the wives live pleasantly with each other?" "There was an outward semblance of good will, but in reality the Mormon wives bate each other with deadly hatred. This alone is one of the most evident ill effects of the dreadful system, this hatred that exists un der roofs called homes, which are often perfect hells, and scenes of the most disgraceful quarrels." Did you know John Young's wife, Libbie Canfield?" "I did, and his first two wives, Lucy Canfield and Mary Van Cott. The two first wives were living together in one house when Libbie Canfield came from Philadelphia to visit her cousin Lucy. She was one of the most fascinating and beautiful women I ever met, and very soon she fascinated John Young, and he married her." "It has been stated that Libbie Canfield made it a condition of her marriage with him that he should give up his other wives and have only her." "That is not true. On the contrary, she lived as his wife with him when his other two wives were right there; and she has told me herself that sometimes when the other wives seemed to feel particularly bad and jealous, she would persuade hor hus band to leave ber and go to them, sometimes even locking the door of her apartments against him. '

"But this changed when he took another

wife?" "Yes, no Mormon wife kut suffers INDESCRIBABLE AGOXY when a husband takes a new wife, unless she has occasion to rejoice that it is inflict ing the grief she herself has undergone on some later plural wife." "You speak of your abhorrence of polygamy. Do you not expect it will be abolished through the enforcement of the United States law?" ' "The law as at present framed is a practical nullity. According to its provisions unless a polygamous marriage ceremony can be proven within two years nothing can be done with the offender. Now, the elders and rulers can always fix it so that no marriage ceremony can be proved. The first thing that began to shake my faith in the Mormon Church for 1 was a firm believer in their faith was that I heard several Mormon elders take oath that they knew nothing of any polygamous marriage ceremonies being performed, when they had performed that very day fourteen polygamous marriages in the endowment house. Until this law is changed so as to make mere proof of living together in polygamous rela tionsa sufficient cau.e of conviction, the law will be a dead letter." 'Is there any considerable feeling among the Mormon women in favor of the enforce ment of A LAW AGAINST POLTOAMY?" "Among a great many there is intense anxiety for this, and they are organizing and working against the admission of Utah as a State until polygamy is abolished; but a great many Mormon women really and conscientiously believe that polygamy is a divinely ordained and revealed institution, and the suffering it necessarily inflicts on women is necessary for their sanctiucation and to enable them to enter Heaven. I knov- this is so, because I look at my own case. I now sometimes ask myself, since my eyes have been opened, how I could possibly ever have regarded the horrible and licentious practices of which I was aware, and the terrible things which 1 have witnessed, with anything but horror. And yet I was raised to consider these things all right, and I thought nothing about them just as I suppose children who are raised where human sacrifices are oflered learn to regard such sacrifices as right, and to look on them with indiflerence." ilere the interesting lady geemed to lapse into a kind of reverie; then sho said: "I do wish that the Anti- Polygamy Standard could be circulated and read in the States. It would do more to inform the people of the really horrible condition of affairs in Utah than anything Ise. It is a little paper published by an association of women at Salt Lake, who are determined to fight this iniquity to the death, and a large portion of its columns are filled with the true stories of polygamous wives and children. I know that the paper is reliable. It is only $1 a year, and I only wish there were funds to flood the States with it. I believe that if people generally read it they would rise in their might and crush out the infamous institution. I wish especially that we could get the women who live in the States to read lt.and know what their f How women are suffering in Utah, and how they are being degraded. I think their opinion would have great weight in helping to urge meu to legislate on the subject." The lady is going back to Salt Lake City on business, and then expects to come to some EftFtern city and make it her permanent home. Sho describes the intense delight she felt in seeing all the strange and wonderful and beautiful sights which she has witnessed during her journey and stay in Eastern cities The whole world is new to her, and seems like paradise. The World a 1 Find Iu Th-y ay tbe world's a weary place, Where tesrs srs oeror drivl. When plwaam pan like bresth on glatu, And only woes abide. It may bei so I ran not knowYet this I dar not ay. My lot haa had more glad than aad, And so It haa to-day. Tliey tay that lore's a cruel jeot; They tell ot women1 wllea That poison dipa in pouting lipt, And death in dimpled imilea. It may be so I can not know Yet sure of tbia I am. One heart is found above tbe ground Whose lore is not a !.am. They say that life'a a bitter caneThat hearts are made to ache, That jest and song are gravely wrong, And health a vast mistake. It may be ao I can not know Bat let them Ulk their fill; I like my lile and lore my wife, And mean to do to still. Good Worda. Self Help. Fight your own battles, asking favors of no one, and you will succeed far better than those who are ever turning, first this way and then that, for a little help. No one can help you as you can help yourself, for no one will have the interest in your aflairs that you of course, feel. The man who pushes on through thick and thin with unflagging pur pose and indomitable courage, in nine cases out of ten, makes a name and a place for himself which people honor and admire. The old motto, "There is no such word as fail," should be impressed upon the young. Life's ways are rugged and full of thorns, and it is only the brave in heart who can hope to battle a way to fame and fortune. He who waits -for others to push him will find himself passed on the road by those who push themselves. People who have been bolstered up all their lives are like reeds in an emer gency. No one can lean upon them, and if they can not find a prop for themselves, down they go, and can not help themselves up again, but must wait for some friendly hand to raise them. These boosted" people never accomplish anything in the world. They are not trusted because they do not trust themselves. It is of little consequence to the world if they sink or swim, and even a man s best friends grow tired of helping him over obstacles he ought to surmount alone. The man who learns to conquer circumstances is independent of fortune, and will receive more smiles than frowns from the fickle goddess. The ambitious and industrious man has little patience with, or regard for, the man content to remain at the bottom of the ladder all his life. The man who keeps his wagon wheel in the rut all the way to town simply because it is loo much trouble to get it out, is apt to accomplish as little good to mankind as the one who expects to be "boosted" along through life. Both belong to the same family, and merit pity more than repraoch. "Young man," said an irate father, "I want you to understand that my house is not a hospital; neither is this sofa a dissecting table, and you aint no army surgeon, nor my daughter a corpse." .

BATHING. How it Is Accomplished 'YYhen Two Woawo Take to the Sarf. Boston Transcript. Kind reader, didst ever see two women bathe? They emerge from their bath-house, look as though they had stolen something and expected to see a burly policeman bob around the corner, clap his rude hands upon them, and exultantly cry, 'Now I've got you;" then they trip alone half a dozen

steps, not altogether like Dundreary or a sandpiper, but somewhat resembling both. Then one says, ''Oh dear!" and reaches down to pick a pebble out of her shoe, while the other takes the opportunity to yell like a pair of panthers, and then runs back with all her might to the bath-house. Her mate. ' of course, doesnt get the pebble out of her shoe, but gets several more in to keep It from being lonesome. Then the screamer tiptoes down again to the yelling place and says, wnat a iooir' Ana the other replies, "I know it!" Then they laugh. By this time they reach the water's edge. A puny roller is advancing. It breaks a little way out, and as the line of foam is sent np the beach they turn and scamper with all their might. Then one says, "What a fool!" And ths other replies, "I know it!" Then they taka bold of hands, determined to do or die. Another wave makes them flinch and tremble and scream just a little, but they keep on till the water reaches what would be their knees if they were men. Now they face each other, each holding the two hands of the other. Anybody who has seen the firemen at work on a hand engine will understand the motion readily. They keep this up for five or ten minutes, talking like a brace ot parrots all the time, till one of them screams with all her might and runs half way to the bath house. She stops to remark that the knows she will die, and looking down sees the cause of her scare a blade of eel gm s tightly 9 .-and about her ankle. Spunking up courage again, they seek the water once more, and again the hand engine maneuver is repeated. Then one of them whispers, 'There's a man!" And the other says,"! don't care one bit " and runs with all her might to the bath house. Then the one who had seen the man saunters slowly after, picks up a shell or two on the way, pretending to think there isn't such a thing as a man in creation. By and by they emerge from the bath house, and ostentatiously display tbe key, towels and bathing dresses, chatting in most voluble manner. "It was just lovely!" one remarks. And the other says she feels ''so refreshed, you know." The Just Appreciation of Humor. Cornhill Magaiins. Humor is essentially the expression of a personal idiosyncrasy, and a man is a humorist just because the tragic and the comic elements of life present themselves to his mind in new and unexpected combinations. The objects of other men's reverence strike him from the ludicrous point or view, and he sees something attractive in the things which they affect to despise. It is his func tien to strip off the common-places by which we have tacitly agreed to cover our . doubts and misgivings, and to explode empty pretenses by the touch of a vigorous originality. And therefore it is that the great mass of mankind are apt to look upon humor of the stronger flavor with suspicion. They sus pect the humorist not without reason ot lauehine at their beards, mere is no say ing where he may not explode next. They can eniov the mere buffoonery which comes from high spirits combined with thoughtlessness. And they can fairly appreciate the gentle humor of Addison, or Goldsmith, or Charles Lamb, where the kindliness of the intention is so obvious that the irony is felt to be harmless. It represents only the tinge of melancholy which every good" man must feel at the sight of human folly, and is used rather to light up, by its gentle irradiation, the amiable aspects or weakness man to un mask solemn affectation and successful by pocrisy. As soon as the humorist begins to be more pungent, and the laughter to be edged with scorn i and indignation, good T . , - i j a. l:i a 1 i i quiet people wno uo uub iiae w w auwkeu, begin to draw back. They are half ashamed when a Cervantes or a Montaigne, a Rabelais or a Swift, takes them into his confidence, and proposes in the true humorist's spirit to but show them the ugly realities of the world or of his own mind. :They shrink from the exposure which follows of the absurdity of heroes, the follies of the wise, the cruelty and injustice of the virtuous. In their hearts they take this daring frankness for sheer cynicism, and reject his proffered intimacy. They would rather overlook the hollowness of established conventions than have them ruthlessly exposed by the sudden audacity of these daring rebels. To the man, on the contrary, who is predisposed to sympathy by sorre affinity of character the sudden flash of genuine feeling is infinitely refreshing. He rejoices to see theories confronted with facts, solemn conventions turned inside out, and to have the air cleared by a sudden burst of laughter, though it may occasionally have something rather savage in it. He welcomes the discovery that another man has dared to laugh at the idols before which we are all supposed to bow in solemn reverence. "We love the humor, in short, so far as we shall the character from which it flows. Everybody can love the spirit which shows itself in the "Essays on Elia," but you can hardly love the "Tale of a Tub" or 'Gulliver," unless you have a sympathy with the genuine Swift which overpowers your occasional disgust at his misanthropy. But to this general rule there is one marked exception in our literature. It is impossible for any one with the remotest taste for literary excellence to read "Tristram Shandy"or the 'Sentimental Journey" without a sense of wondering admiration. One can hardly read the familiar passages without admitting that Sterne was, perhaps, the greatest artist in the language. No one at least shows more inimitable felicity in producing a pungent effect by a few touches of exquisite precision. He gives the impression that the thing has been done once for all; he has hit the bull's-ye round which inspiring marksmen go on blundering indefinitely without any satisfying success. The Development of language in Children. At the recent meeting of the American Philological Association, in Philadelphia, Prof. M. W. Humphreys, of Vanderbilt University, Tennessee, read a paper, "A Contribution to Infantile Linguistics," which caused the learned gentlemen present to smile on account of the Professor's able mimicry of baby talk. The paper embodied the result of experiments with a little girl two years old, questions being asked which would require the use of a certain word in giving the answer, and a list was made of the words the child knew.. They numbered .1,122 in alL and words beginning with s b, c, p, t and

W. predominated. The Professor considered

that a child's vocabulary is usually formed in respect to these considerations: First, ease oi pronunciation; second, simplicity of the idea, and third, familiarity. . In the first of these it was found that when the child was one year old the consideration was binding, but when she was two years old it had entirely lofet forre a substltnto boinw ncul fX j - w w V. the difficult leHer and the word used in its altered form. Tbe other two influences are related the one leading directly the other for simplicity of meaning and familiarity are two governing considerations with children. Four periods were were observed- The first when four months old. consisted of mimirrv of conversation; when eight months old the cauu Knew every person in the house, fcjhe then betran to use words as renresentino- idea and by eleven months the third period was -i . , x oobervea, mat oi using words given to her as a mere sound, and distinguished them from ' the words used to convey a meaning. The fourth period was the linking of words into sentences. Origin of st Famous Campaign Cry. Chicago TribuDe.l The Lot? Cabin derived iu name from a contemptuous parapnpu iu a campaign newspaper, i. he Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Republican, a prominent Van Buren paper, in writing to his rarer srjokeineerintrlvnf fien. eral Harrison, saying: "Give him a barrel of hard cider and settle a pension on him of $2,000 a year, our word for it, he will sit the remainder oi nis days contented in a log cabin." The Whigs took up the epithet and made out of them the campaingn cries of the contest. The same year witnessed the paperball craze. An immense sphere, having inscribed on it the Whig victories, was rolled from State to State. Whether the episode gave riso to the phrase, Keep the ball a-roll-mg," which was then first commonly used, ' or the phrase suggested the act, is not entirely clear. A gentleman who married a widow complained to her that he liked his beef well done. "Ah! I thought that I wascoeking for Mr. Brown," said she; "he liked his rare. But, Darling, I will try and forget the poor dear" Indianapolis Sentinel D&IXT. 1 Copy One Tear -Sio oo s oo 1 Copy Six Hoatba. 1 Copy Three Honthi a eo a oo 1 Copy One HontQ..
