The only essential change was tnat of reducing the time of exclusion from twenty to ten rears, which will hardly be considered sufficient lor a chang of administration . i k J V a IKunv policy. ro, it was ma muauer. 'u"j Led iff r. V some thunder, but a eood deal of lip'i'ninff which htriifk down the Republi can party of the Pacific Coast. By the way what will the ministers who so eagerly telegraphed Mr. Arthur on his first veto of the Chinese bill, assuring him of their support nd sympathy, do now? THE DUBLIN ASSASSINATIONS. A diversity of opinions have found their way into print tjuchinj? the reason why of the Dublin assassinations. W hat was the underlying cause? What the ruling motive? mre questions everywhere asked, and so far, no satisfactory answers or explanations have been jriven. The severett analysis of the foul deed does not lead to the conclusion that It was committed by the friends of Ire land On the contrary, exactly the opposite determination is inevitable. The friends of Ireland were rejoicing in view of prelum nary victories. The clouds were break ing away. The iron hand of despotism waa relaxine its crasp: around Irela rid's horizon were penciling of light betokening the dawn of a better day. Prison bolts were being withdrawn, bastile doors were swinging wide onen, Irish prisoners were stepping forth to freedom, and Irish patriots were ready to sing: "Dear Harp of my country! in darkness 1 found thee, Th cold chain of silence had hung oer thee long. When proudly, my own Island Harp, I unbound thee. Ami gave all thy chords to lisM, freedom and JtOUg." : Gladstone was retreating. He had heard the protests of Christendom, the scathing criticism of freemen. The eye of fammecursed Ireland was regaining its brightness the fad heart of Ireland its lightness: hoi was reviving in the bosom of the evicted, storm-beaten tenant that his hovel would in future be secure. Every cloud bore a bow of promise. At this supreme juncture in Ireland's affairs a bloody deed is committed and Ireland is shrouded in gloom, o friend of Iceland changed hope to despair. It is foci blasphemy to make the charge. Lis'.e-u! Ireland's friends denounced the assassination of Cavendish and Burke in words of burning indignation.from Indianapolis to the en Js of trie earth. Ire'atid's enemies committed tlia Dublin asassinatio:is fiends whose purpose it waj to reinsta'e coercion anl strike down conciliation, and when the hell-ueer.inz assassins are caught tha world wiil know that the crime was not committed by Ireland's friends. Bnt a-i Je from the motive influencing the assassins, their crime teaches a lesson which it were well for Governments to study. For centuries England pursued a policy towards Ireland fruitful of every tiesoriptiono human woes degradation, robbery, starvation, exile, death. The only wonder is that crime has not prevailed to a more alarming xter;t. It is a wonder that Irishmen h:tve not alain thsir oppressors whenever opportunity o He red. Men still deplore the French Revolution. Why? Because it began in blood. Bat look at France now. crowned with liberty every man a citizen in-jtead of a subject; tlynastits crushed, thrones overturned, the Church brought under the law, lands in the hands of the toilers, the most prosperous country in Europe. It Ln$ required a hundred years for France to emancipate herself from despotism: but the price the paid was not too high. Oppression is the parent of crime, ar.d while the world is shocked and horrified at the assauination of Cavendish nd Burk, the search for the reason why ' mu?t extend far back of the immediate moüve of their as-fassins. We repeat, it is a matter or amazement that murder has not been more frequent in Ireland during the pat century, for in all the gloom of anhuudiel years England's hand has been upon her throat and every breath has been a death-gurgle. Still, Ireland has been as free from crime as any other country, and we could not if we would place upon Ireland's brow a brighter haplet in houor of her heroism. Irishmen have end tied all things and hoped all things. They have prayed and protested; have fought against overwhelming odds, and in defeat have still hoped for the day when they could S3y: "Erin ! oh Erin! thy winder is past. And the hope that lived thro It shall blossom at last." The blooming season of hope was at hand. The right was triumphing grandly. Suddenly murder comes to the front and Ireland's majestic step is arretted. Be it so for th.e present. But Ireland will not give up the struggle, anl millions of Irishmen will still shout to their oppressors: God prosper the cuee: oh. It can not but thrive, Wh'Ad the pulse ol one patriot heart is alive." INDIANA STATISTICS. "We have before us the third annual report -of the Department of Statistics of Indiana, a volume of 132 pages. It contain?, urder the following subdivisions, statistics of agriculture: Labor, economic, tocial, educational, mineral, criminal, railroad and me'.eoroloelcal subject. The tables are numerous, and as irfect as it was possible for the Department to make them, aud throughout the others in chsxga have displayed a conscientious regard for accuracy of statement, which adds indefinitely to the value of ll;e work. The information which the report contains is of highest importance to the people of Indiana. It relates to their welfare, to S'ate growth in allrufttttTS of vital concern; but such reports, it they fjil in the accornplis'itncrit (J the bcneGts which 'the Legislature intended they should confer npon the people of the State, it will bo bexue ol their unwieldy balk. They are too big and too costly for general distribution. There js a perfect wilderness of tables which" the average citizen will never explore, provided the book fairs into his hands. There is too much detail, to little coLdenation. From page 4 to I ace S7 the report is a continuation of tables, figures piled upon figures. We do not k:;ow thatsarh tabulated tUtemenis could hve been avoi led under the law, nor do we kno(w that their avoidance was desirable, but we ire inclined to the opinion that the conden

sation of the reKrt to 100 pages, giving sum

totals, recapitulations with well digested comments, would subserve a valuable pur pose, since it would enable the State, at a comparatively small cost, to place in the hands of the people the valuable inform tion collected by the Department of Statis tics, but which, in a book of 432 pages, ran never be ponulamed. It occurs to us that the Legislature should provide the means for a compendium of ttie report for general distribution; and unless it is done the labors of the Department of Statistics will be to a very large extent rendered nugatory. It was our purpose in this article to have presented to the readers of the Sen tinel from the vast accumulation of facts. which the report affords, those which we re garded as of special value and most eagerly sou cht after. but our space at this writing forbids such an an dertaking. Though, from time to time we shall refer to the report and avail ourselves of the information it con tains in all matters relating to the growth and prosjerity of the State. The Sentinel is in full accord with the Department of Statis tics and fully indorses that portion of the report which says that "the mission of the statistician is to produce the raw material the facts from which the scientist, statesman, political economist and philosopher may deduce substantial principles which be come the basis ox me Dest civilization. Neither the one nor the other can know with any certainty the true lines of thought and action, except by the comparison of classified truths beanne upon the subjects in band. How shall National and State legislation proceed with intelligent direc tion when members of these bodies have no access to the facts bearing upon the subjects which shall come before them for action? No one who will with aome degree of pa tient thought study the systematic collection and classification of facts upon health, commerce, agriculture, education, manu facturing, mining, criminals, etc., will ever thereafter ask, What is the use of statistics?" But it must be borne in mind that the De partment of Statistic of Indiana was not created socially for the scientist, states man, political economist and philosopher, but for the ieople of Indiana, the farmer, mechanic, educator, the laborer, the men of all professions and employments, and to do this, the Department of Statistics ought to be authorised to issue a compendium of its report in cheap form tor general distribution.

'the senate Committee on the Kefonaofthe Civil Service having reported a bill appropriating $25,0tj0 to enable tho President to "promote efficiency In the different branches of tho civil service." the Boston II x aid (Ind.) says: "The BepuMlcani In Congress can only meet the Just demands of the country, and fulfill tke pledges repeatedly made by their party, by pawing the Pendlttonbill or some equally positive measure. But if they propose to again postpone this, they ought at least to leave the responsibility upon the 1'retideut of keeping what has been gained in

the way of reform. There is a palpable incon

grulty, to be sure, in voting money to execute the provisions of a reform measure to a President who has manifested in every possible way bis contempt for the reform practices of his prede cessor. But it would be an IntereüUng and per baps an instructive spectacle to see Piesldeut Arthur wrestling with the problem of hanging on tn the offices as spoils, with a firm grip, while continuing the 'inauguration of a reform In the civil service. " A letteb just received at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington from Mr. W.'W. Story, the sculptor, at Rome, who was designated by Congress to make a statue in bronze of the late Professor LTenry, aud for which work f 15,000 was appropriated, states that In consequence of a seri ous accident In the workshop of the bronzecuter, there will be an Indefinite delay In the completion of the statue, and that it maybe nee essary to make a new casting. The statue was ex pec ted in Washington about the middle of this month. The Hon. Hugh McCulloch has signified to some public-spirited ladles la Fort Wayne, Ind., his willingness to act upon their suggestion that he should give a valuable plot of ground in that city for the erection of a home for orphan cbil dren, and also oflVrs to contribute toward the fund of money needed. Incidentally he says: 'I should greatly prefer (if It can be done under the act) to make the conveyance to a corporation to making it to a County or city. Counties and cities ought not in any manner to have the man agementof public charftv." The friends of Ireland everywhere feel crushed to the earth by the news. But further considers tion must show them that even out of so dreadful a deed they gain a great opportunity. It is an occasion, as the assassination of President Gar field was, far the oblivion of differences, the union of all parties in execration of the murder, aud the agreement to uphold the Government in the discovery of the murderers and in carrying out its generous intents, despite this cruel at tempt to defeat them. The Irish must be their own best friends in this emergency, for It is cer tainly in their power to make or mar their f uture Springfield Republican. Rxv. M. J. Savage, of Boston, In bis sermon on Loncfellow. related the following incident: "A little more than a year ago he was at myhouse He was hardly seated before he had turned him self Into a playmate for my little four-year-old, When the call was finished he said the usual good day, and was quite at the bottom of the stairs. My little boy had not seen euough of him So he rushed into the hall and called out, 'Mr Longfellow, come back! I want to kiss you again!' Before we could interfere to save him the trouble he was up stairs again, had cangbt him in his arms and was playing with him once more. And then Max watched him from the window till he was out of sight." WnEX Queen Victoria conferred the Order of the Garter upon the Earl of Beaconfield, Sir Richard Wallace presented him with the magnifi cent diamond star of the Garter originally belong ing to the late Marquis of Hertford, said to have been one of the finest ever made, ou the under standing that it should be made an heirloom. From an omission in Lord Beacousfieid's will. this was not done, and after his death the star was sold by the executors to Messrs. Garrard, crown goldsmiths and jewelers of the Haymarket. After having retained it for some months In the hope of disposing of it, but failing to do so, they have taken out all the diamonds 3M stones and remounted them into siegle stone and gem rings of different sizes. We do not put much faith In the report that the Republicans of Maine, being In sore straits, are sending a Loid-a-massy-donian cry over the wraith of Mr. Blaine to go up and give them the benefit of his posthumous leadership, after the manner of the dead Cid at the siege of Granada. If the Fu&ionlsts of Maine were afraid of the re mit of the coming elections they might try to get Mr. Blaine to take the Republican leadership. but any other hypothesis Is absurd. Mr. Blaine's magnetism upon analysis resolves itself Into a capacity for Inspiring ditlike and distrust tempered by lavish promises. Inasmuch, therefore, as Mr. Blaine has rfbt the Federal patronage in hand and the Presidency iu prospective, he stands a poor chance. Indeed, he reminds us of the oriental gentleman whose elimination from the ranks of the aspirants to the succession had been confided to an unusually expert and neat young beadsman. There was a flash of arelmitar, but neither the aspirant nor his friends knew the extent of (he damage till the executioner tendered him a pinch of snuff.

TKE 3IOR310N CHURCH.

An Interesting' JnterrierT With 11 A. Folland. Elder Information Concerning the Customs and Creeds of the Hormone. The Sentinel was pleased Saturday to receive a call from Ell A. Folland, an Elder in the Mormon Church a missionary of that organization to this State. The Elder is a very pleasant, intelligent gentleman, and during his brief visit the following information was gleaned concerning the Church: Reporter Have you any Church at Covington? Elder No regular organized branch, but we have some few members there. Have a branch of the Church at Johnsonville. Itep. Do you enforce the laws of your Church upon your members in regard to the plural wife system? Eld. We have no law requiring our mem bers to have more than one wife, in the sense that some suppose that because a person may be a member of our Church. Only cer tain members of our faith can have the privilege of increasing Jus marriage rela tions. Ilep. What qualifications are requisite in order that be may nave an extra wile? Eld. He must be an honest, an upright person, one wLose character is above re proach, and able to support such relation ship. Ilep. What are you going to do now' You know Congress has passed laws prohib iting your practices? Eld. We expect to obey the law as far as lays in our power. Itep. Are the reports true which are cir culated in regard to your people? Eld. No, they are not warranted by the facts in the case. 1 have lived in Salt Lake City seventeen year, and had to leave home to learn of the character ol the people, and am iiappv to eay we are industrious ana peaceable, pursuing the even tenor of our way. Rep. You believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, I suppose, the same as other Chris tians? Eld. Yes; that is, we believe that through His 'atonement all mankind maybe saved by obedience to the laws of the Gospel. iiep. What qualifications or laws do you have? Eld. We believe that a person must have faith in Christ and repent of his sins, think that he should be baptized and have hands laid upon him by one holding the priest hood, or a delegated authority from God. Rep. Where do you get your authority? Eld. We claim that Peter, James and John conferred it upon J. Smith and others. Rep. We don t consider that this is nec essary, r attn in tue Lora Jesus innsi is ansumcient. Eld. Yes, but we believe that if the for mer-day Faints, in the time when the Saviour ministered on the earth, that the ordinances that He enjoined upon the peo pie are still binding, and if we propose to be Hisfollowers we should do His works, otherwise we are not entitled to the blessings which belong to the Church. Rep. 1 believe that we need not comply only so far as to answer a good conscience, x ou know that the thief went with Jesus. Eld. You must remember, however, that he did not go to Heaven, for the Apostle says that he went to preach to the spirits in prison, which were disobedient sometime in the days of Noah, and we believe that lie had to comply with the ordinances before he entered the Kingdom of Heaven, and that a vicarious ordinance is necessary. The Apos tle said else why are ye baptized for thedead if the dead raise not at all? Taking the saynes into consideration we deem it necessary to "also do such vicarious work in order that every ram may hear the plan or salvation. Iter:. -v e diller, of course, in these points. How are you doing or what success are you meeting with? Eld. Doing very v,ell, and meeting with some success. We have hve eiders in this State. We travel without any salary forour preaching, for tlm did the ancient disciples. I he Elder gave us the following as the ar ticles of faith of his Church: 1. We believe in God. the Eternal Father, and in hin Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Floly Ghost. i. we believe that men will be puuij-nea tor their own sins, and not for Adam's transgression. We believe that throuch the atonement of Christ, all maukind may be saved, by obedience to the laws ana oruiuauces oi tne uospei. 4. We believe that these ordlnaaces are: rirst. Faith in the Lord Jeous Christ; second. Repent ance; third. Baptism by Immersion for the re mission of sins; fourth. Laying ou of hands for the Gift of the Holy Ghost. 5. We believe that a man must be called of God, by "prophecy, and by the layii g on cf hauls" by thore who are in authority, to preach the Gos pel and administer in the ordinances tnereof. 6. W'e believe in the same organization that existed in the primitive Church, viz; apostles, prophet?, pastors, uachers, evangelists, etc. 7. We believe in the Klft of tongues, prophecy, revelation, visions, healing, interpretation of tongues, eta. 8. We believe the Bible to be the word of God, as far as It is translated correctly; we also believe the Book of Mormon to be the word of God. 9. We believe all that God has revealed, all that lie does now reveal, and w believe that He will yet reveal many great and Important things pertaining to the Killed jm of God. 10. W'e believe '. the literal Kutherinu of Israel and in the restoration of the Tea Tribes. That Ziou will be built upon this continent. That :hrist will reisn personally upon the earth, and that the earth will be reuewed aud receive its paradisic glory. 11. we claim tne privilege ri worsnipmg Al mighty God according to the dictates of our conscience, and allow all men the came privilege, let Uiem worsnip now, wnero or warn mey may. 12. we be ieve la being sucieci to Kings, rresidents. rulers and inaKMrates. m obeying, honoroar ana usraiiin iav taw. 13. W'e believe in being honest, true, chaste, be nevolent virtaousatid la doing good to all men: indeed we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul. "W'e believe all things, we hope all things" we have endured many things, aud hope to be able to endure all things. If there is an thing virtuous, lovely or of Kood report or oraiseworthv. we seek after these things. Joseph Smith. Tribute to Belmont. Congressman Perry Belmont, of New York, has received the following from the Young Men's Democratic Association of Philadelphia, in regard to his examination of ex-Secretary Blaine: - Philadelphia, May 3, issi.

My Dear Sir The approval which the Youna Men's Democratic Atioeiaiiou of Philadelphia has, by formal resolution, bestowed upon the course-1 thought right to adopt on a recent occasion as a member of the Foreign Affairs Committee is extremely grateful to me. Tne inquiry which the lluuse of Representatives directed the Commiitee to make respecting the diplomacy pursued by the Dpnartmcnt of State la Sou in Amtrica is undoabtedlyof thegreatesthistorlcal importance.

Did our Government, after March, Ihm, either formulate or announce or s'eadily and successfully p-in-ue a policy toward Chile and Peru? W as it t liber wi-te or prudent or necessary for the Department of State to diminish or prejudice the moral lufluence which the Government of the United Slates would exert over each and all of the beligerent Powers by thrusiirg to the front vast pecuniary claims, the validity of which, in an American and a diplomatic scne. can not be vindicated? The hostile criticism which has been madelu certain quarter npon my course of action on the occasion to which you refer was to be expected, and has not disturbed me, and even had it momentarily done o.

I Mr. A. Dougherty, a business man of this city, has just returned from a trip to San Francisco. "It w; 8 my first visit to that mos interesting portion of the country," said Mr. ixugnerty to a world roporter yesterday and I enjoyed it immensely. I was in San r rancisco when the news reached there of the veto of the antt-Chinese bill by Presi dent Arthur, and it reminded me forcibly of the scene here in New York when the news came that the Rebels had fired on Fort Sumter. People were not only terribly ex cited, but they' were sorely disappointed. They fully exacted, up to the last moment. mat tne fresident would sien the bill. stayed five days in San Francisco, and dur ing that time 1 investigated the Chinese question, as it existed there, pretty thorough ly. People in New ork do not understand or appreciate the question. When I went to San Francisco I was in favor of allowing as many imnese to come to America as wanted to come. When I left there I had changed my mind entirely. I went all through the Chinese quarters, visited their Theater, stores and shops, went into their houses and studed the Chinese ques tion in ail its phases, as presented in ban i rancisco. The irresistible conclusion was that the system is a bad one and will not ax And why? Because they are consumers and not producers. Of every dollar the Chinaman earns, seventy-live cents goes Dace tocmna. iney buy roth ing in San Francisco except a little fresh meat now and then. All their rice and yam?, and even the materials of which they manufacture their clothing, are bought in China; and, finally, their bones must be deposited in Chinese soil. There are in the Chinese quarters of San Francisco from (JO,000 to i 0,000 Chinamen, and'no women. Every thiid man you meet is a Chinaman. They occupy about twenty blocks of terri tory, and that part of the city resembles nothing so much as it does an Oriental set tlement. In that whole portion of San Francisco Ihereisbut one white man left. He is a Jew, and deals in clothing. How long he wiil remain is hard to tell: I imagine not u great wnt e longer. HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS. lnc practical workings of the system, as demonstrated in aan r rancisco, may be be illustrated by one example: 1 visited the shon of a Jew cigar manufacturer. He em ployed fifty Chinamen, and he said it was because thev were cheaper than other help. and better workmen; aud, besides, others employed them, and he was forced to do the same in order to compete with his neighbors. I asked him if it had proved profitable. nrugging nis snouider?, lie reiiiied that it did pay at first, but that at present it did u t; and when asked toexplain the reasons for ihe change, he said it was btcins-e many of his best workmen, as soon as they had learned the business, had left him and gone to manufacturing cigars themselves. The conse quence was that the cigaia he used to sell for izl per l.UUU he was now selling at 12, and ie question now was whether he or the Chine-e bosses could live the cheapest. The i-aiue rule holds good in all branches. A Chinaman will live on ten cents a day, a half pound of rice being sufficient for him for the twenty-four hours. I asked him whom he employed before he got the China men, and he said he employed men, women, boys and girls. lien asked what these people were doing now, he said he did not know probably nothing. And tnat is just what they are doing. Many -. of them as many as can do to are leaving the city. - What is the result? Capital is leaving there also. Of the fifty Chinamen workii;. in that shop probably nearly all live in one house, and seventy cents of every dollar they earn is withdrawn from the actual circulating wealth of the community and sent to China. The butcher, the baker, the grocer and the dry goods mer chant suffer accordingly. If men with families were employed instead, fifty houses would be occupied, the money would be spent in ban Francisco, and money would be invested in trade and in supplying them with shelter. The inevitable result must be apparent If you put a hr.ndred-gallon pump into a reservoir oi water, the supply is not exhausted so long as you turn the stream into the reservoir. If a straw is in serted and the stream ia allowed to run over the sides, the reservoir will in time be ex hausted. It is the same with the farmers. They are able to raise large crops cheaply. but there is no market for the surplus, and the corseouence isthat they are compelled to let it rot, or sell at greatly reduced prices. THI CHINESE CSALTXRABLT ALIEN. people profess to believe that in time the present conditions will be changed. and that the Chinese will become citizens, and settle in this country with their fami lies. That time will never come. They are most cunning, shrewd, thinking race of people, and are invariably bard-working, plodding and industrious. Ihey are also very happy, and boast of their unalterable attachment to their native land. Thev are aliens, and will always remain such. They are also very ingenious, and easily acquire a perfect knowledge of any trade or calling. and quickly become adepts in it. They are also educated and intelligent There are in San Francisco to-day a large number of Chinese shoemakers, and they manufacture elegant shoes. These shoes are 'being sent East and sold in this market by American salesmen. Before many years they will, if not checked, monopolize that branch of industry, as well as many others, and the result will be, not tne elevation ot the Chinamen, but the degradation of their white competitors. They work for from fifty cents to $1 per day; in order to compete with theni,. white American citizens wirh families to support must do likewise, and in order to do likewise they must live as the Chinaman liveä, and the employer must sell his goods ior the same prices the employer of Chinese labor does oc go to the wall.. That means degradation all around. They make excellent house servants. They are tractable, docile, intelligent and tidy. What they see done once they san do themselves. Bob,. taking all things into consideration, they are not jrot)tablfrin anycapacity, because ihey are consumers and not producers. They take everythsng out of the country and bring nothing into it. Every poor Italian or German ot Irishman who comes here is worth $1,000 to the country, because he comes here ta settle,, he helps to develop the resources of the country, he becomes a part and parcel of the community in v which he li vw, marries and raises a family, and when he dies his children are At&ericans. All the money he earns is spent here, and instead tjt impoverishing the country be adds to its wealth and helps keep that wealth in circulation. "As I said at theoutset, people here do Dot understand the question as they do in F,an Francisco, because they have never h'ad it out before them here in its proper light and never saw its practical workings. They look upon it here as a sort of demagoglsm such as was made odious by tho disgusting ravings

of Dennis Kearney, who did the ciue more

harm In the eye of the civilized world than he ever did it good at hone or anywhere else. I raw it in a new light and have become convinced that the idea of cheap labor, aa represented in an alien and absolutely unamalgamating race like the 'heatbeh Chinee,' means the degradation of labor, the destruction of capital and the ultimate ruin of the country." A Story About Lincoln. t Ex-Governor IUce in a forthcoming meisorial volume.) While officially resident in Washington duriug the late War I once had occasion to call upon President Lincoln with the late Senator Henry Wilson, upon an errand of a public nature upon which we were mutually interested. In the recognized order of precedent a member of the House of Itepresentauves, as i men was, could not ia times of pressure for audience with the President gain admittance so long as there were Cabinet Ministers, members of the Diplomatic Corps, Senators or Justices of the Supreme Court desiring audience with him, and all civilians must wait their opportunity after members of Congress and olhcers of the Army and Navy and the civil service and others had had their turns re spectively. Having a joint errand with benator llson, I could avail of his privi ickc oi earner au mission; DUt we were obliged to wait some time in the ante-room before we could be received, and when at lei gtn the door was ooened to us. a rmall lad, perhaps ten or twelve years old, who uau oecu waning ior aamission several cays without success, slipped in between us and approached the President in advance. The latter gave the Senator and myself a cordial DUt Dnei salutation, and turning immedi ately to the lad, said. "And who is the little boy ?" During their conference the irenator and myself were apparently forgotten. The boy soon told his story, which was in sub stance that ne bad come to ashington orckiug employment as a page in the House oi liepresentatives, and he wished the Presi dent to give him such an appointment To this the President replied that such apr oint ments were not at his disposal, and that ap plication must be made to the Doorkeeper oi tne House at the Camtol. "liut. sir, said the lad, still undaunted. "I am a good Dy, ana nave a letter trom my mother, and one from the Supervisors of my town, and one irom my bunday-school teacher, and they all told me that I could earn enough m one session ti Congress to keep my mother and the rest of us comfort able ail the remainder of the'year." The President took the lad's papers and ran his eye over them with that penetrating and ab-sc-roent look so familiar to all who knew nim, and then took his pen and wrote upon uie oacK oi oneoi tnem: "it Captain Uood now can give a place to this good little boy i snau De cratiiied." and signed it "A. Lin coin. The boy's face became radient with hone. ana ne walked out of the room with a step as though all the angels were whispering meir congratulations. Only after the lad had cone did the Presi dent seem to realize that a Senator and an other person had been waiting some time to see him. n t m a . . . . i mnit ior a moment ot tne 1'resident of a great Nation, and that Nation engaged in one of the most terrible Wars ever waged among men, himself worn down with anxi ety and labor, subjected to the alternation of success and defeat, racked by complaiuts of the envious, the disloyal and unreasonaoie, presseu to tne aecision ot grave ques tions Of public policy, and encumbered by the numberless and nameless incidents of civil and martial responsibility, vet able so far to forget them all as to give himself up for the time being to the errand of a little boy who had braved an interview unin vited, and of whom he knew nothing, but that be had a story to tell of his widowed mother, and of hi ambition to serve her!

Irtnha's Educational 'Facilities. When he had finisned with the climate, soil and product! ns of Idaho, one of the group asked: "How about education facil ities, lhats the onJy thing we lack," replied the old man, with a mournful sigh. We've cot schools enoucli. but we can t keep no teachers." "What's the trouble?" Well, take my school,, for instance only two miles irom the nearest house, eminently siiuated on the top of a hill, and paying. the highest salary. We can t keep a teacher over two weeks." "Do they die?" "Some do, though it's no place ior dying. We ha i a young fellow from Ohioy and he met a grizzly and whistled let him. The grizzly cum. We had another, and a wiuder run btna down and married him inside of a month. The third one was lame., and the njans overtook him. Then we triad women folks. The first one 30t married the night she lit down there: L took the second about the middle of the thi?d week, an i the nest one was abducted by a stage robber."
