PAIN in the right side, under the edge of the ribs, increases on pressure; sometimes the pain is in the left side; the patient is rarely able to lie - on the left side; sometimes: the pain is felt under the shoulder blade, and it frequently extends to the top/of the shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken. for rheumatism in the arm. ‘The stomach is affected with loss of appe“tite and sickness; the bowels in general are costive, sometimes alternative. with lax; the head is troubled with pain, 'accompanied with a dull, heavy sensation in the back part. There is generally a considerable loss of memory, accompanied with a painful sen. - sation of having left undone some. thing which ought to have been done. A=-slight, dry cough is sometimes an attendant. The patient complains of weariness and' debility ; he is easily startled, his feet are cold or burning, and he complains of .a prickly sensation of the skin; his spirits are low; ‘and although he is satisfied that exercise would be beneficial to him, yet he can scarcely summon up fortitude . enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts. every remedy.

THE VETO OF THE CHINESE BILL. T ; The President’'s Message Disapprov- ~ ing of the Anti-Chinese Bill--Kis Reasons in Detail for Vetoing the ~ Measure. ‘ ‘ . The following is the full text of the President’s Veto Message delivered to the National House of Representatives, on the evening of the Ist: < To the House of Representatives: After a very careful consideration of House bill 2,443, entitled ** An act to restrict the immigration of Chinese to the United States.” 1 herewith return it to the House of Representatives, in which body it originated, with my objections to its passage. The bill, as it was sent to the Senate from. the House of Representatives, was confined in its provisions to the object named in its title, which 18 that of ‘““An act to restrict the immigration of Chinese to the United States.” The only means adopted to secure the proposed object wag the limitation in the number of Chinese passengers which might be brought to this country by any one vessel to fifteen, and 28 this number was not fixed in any proportion to the size or tonnage of the vessel, or by any consideration of the safety or accommodation of these passengers, the simple pufpgse and_ effect’of the enactiment were to relpress this immigration to an eixtcnt falling but little short of its absolute exclusion. - ok The bil, as amended in the Senate, and now presented to me, includer an independent and additional provision, which aims at and in terms reguires the abrogation, by this Government, of rts. s.and 6 of the treaty with China, commonly called the Burlingame Treaty, through the action of the Executive, enjoined by this provision of the act. : : - The Burlingame Treaty, ‘of which ratifications were exchanged at Pekin, Nov. 23, 1869, recites as the occasion and motive of its negotiation by the two Governments that gince the conclugion of the treaty between the United States ‘of America and the Ta Tsing Empire (China) of the 18th June, 1858, tircumstances have aricen showing the necessity of additional - articles thereto,” and proceeds to an agreement as to said additional articles. These negotiations, therefore, ending by the signature of the additional articles' July 28, 1868, had for their object the completion of our treaty rights and obligations toward the Government of China by the incorporatlion of these new articles as thenceforth parts of the principal treut{lto which they are made supplemental. Upon the settled rulés of interpretation applicable to such supplemental negotiations, the text of the principal treaty and of these ‘‘additional articles thereto,” constitute one treaty, from the conclusion of the new negotiations, in all parts of equal and concurrent force and obligation hetween the two Governments, and, to all intents and pwrposes, as if embraced in one instrument. ¢ = s

_ The principal freaty, of : which the ratifications were exchanged Aug. 16. 1859, recites that ‘The %nited States of Americg and the Ta Tsing Empire, deriring t maintain firm, lasting and siucere,frienﬁshiphave resolved to remew in a manner clear and. positive, by means of a treaty or general convention of peace, amity and commerce, the rules of which shall in future be mutually observed in the intercourse of their respective countries,” and proceeds in its thirty articles to lay out a careful and comprehensive system for the commercial re-. lations of our people with China.: The main substance of all the provisions of this treaty is to define and secure the rights of our people in respect of access fo, residence and protection in, and trade with China. i The actual provisions in our favor in these respects were framed to be, and have bgen found to be, adequate and appropriate to tjg interests of our commerce, and by the concluding article we receive ‘the important guarantee ‘that should atany time the Ta Tsing Empire grant to any Nation, the merchants or citizens oliany;Nution, any right, privilege or favor connected either with mnavigation, commerce, political, or other ingercourse which is not conferred by this treaty, such right, privilege and favor shall at once fieely inure to the benefit of the United States, its public officers, merchants and citizens.” Against this body of stipulations-in our favor,and this {)ermnnentengagcment of equal, i}gy in respect'of all future ‘concessions to foreign ations, the general promise of permanent peace and good ofiices on our part scems to be the only equivalent. For this the first article undertakes as follows: @ : b i -

“There shall be, as there have always been, peace and friendship between the United States of America and the Ta Tsing Empire, and between their people respectively. They shall not insult or oppress cach other for any trifling cause, so as to produce an cstrangement between threm, and if any other Nation shouldact unjustly or oppressive--Iy, the United States will exert their good oftices, on being informed of the case, to bring about an amicable arrangement of the .question, thus showing their friendly feclings.” ; : At the date of the negotiation of this treaty, our Pacific possessions had attracted a considerable Chinese emigration, and the advantages and the inconveniences felt or feared therefrom had become more or less manifest, but they dictated no stipulations on the subject to be incorgorated in the treaty. The year 1868 was marked y the striking event df a rpontaneous Embasey from the Chinese Empire, headed by an American citizen, Anson Burlingame, who had relinquished his diiplomatic representation of his own country in China to assume that of the Chinese Empire to fthe United States and the European Nations. By this: time the facts -of Chinese immigration and_ its, nature, inflnence, present and prospective, had become more noticeable and were more observed by the population immediately affected, and by this Government. The principal feature of the Burlingame Treaty was its attertion to and its treatment of the Chinese immigration, and the Chinese as forming, or as they shouldform, a part of our population. Up to this time our uncovenanted heospitality to immigration, our fearless liberty of .citizenship, our equal and comprehenkive justice to all inhabitants, whether they ahjured their foreign nalionulity or not, our l:i_vi{frecdom and our religious toleration, bad made &1l comers welcome, and under these! })rotecﬁons the Chinese in considerable numbers had: made- their lodgment upon our soil: The- Burlingame Treaty underiakes fto deal with this sitnation, and its fifth and sixth articles embrace its most important. provisions in this recard, and the main stipulations in which the Chinese Government has secured an obligatory protection of its subjects within our territory. They read as follows: : ‘“ ArT, 5. The United States of America and the Emneror of China cordially recognize the inherent and inalienable right of man to ¢hange his home and allegiance, and also the mutual advantage of the free migration and emigration of their citizens and subjects respectively from the one countr(r to the other for purposes of duriosity, of trade, or as permanent residents. The high coniracting .parties, tbterefore, join, in reprobating' any other thamn an entirely voluntary emigration for these pu?{)oses. They tonsequently agree to pass laws making it a penal offense for a citizen of the United®Siates or Chinese subjects to take Chinere subjects cither to the United States or-to any other foreign country; or for a Chinese subject or citizen of the United States to take citizens of the United States to China, or to any other foreign country, without their free and voluntary consent, respectively. ] ; t *“Art. 8, Citizens of the United States visiling or residing in .China shall enjoy the same privileges, immunities,” or exemptions in respect to travel or residence as may there be enjoyed by the citizens or subjects ot the most favored Nation; and, reciprocally, Chinese subjects visiting or regiding in the United States shall enjoy the same privileges, immunities and exemptions in re--spect to travel or residence as may there be enjoyed by the citizens or subjects of the most favored Nation. -~ But nothing herein contained shall be held to confer naturalization upon citizens of the United States in China mor upon the subjects-of China in she United States.” =~

An examination of these two articles in thelight of tne experience then influential in suggesting their necessity. will show that the fifth article was framed in hostility to what seemed the principal mischief ‘to. be ' guarded - against, to-wit: The * introduction of Chinese laborers by imethods which should have the character of aforced and servile importation, and not of a Yoluntary emigration of freemen seeking our shores upon motives and, in'amanner consistent with the system of our institutions and approved hf’ the e:c{)ex'lence of the Nation. Unquestionably the adherence of the Government of China ‘to these liberal principles of freedom in cmigration with which we were so familiar, and with which we are 8o well satisfied, was agreat advance toward opening that Empire to our civilization and rcligion, and gave promise in the future of Frepter and greater_}:ractica‘l results in the difusion - throughont that great population of our arts and industries, our, manufactures, our inaterial improvemeuts, and the sentiments of Government and religion, which seems to us' so important to the welfare of mankind. The first clause of this article secures this acceptance b{ China of the American doctrines of frece miwation to and fro among, the peoples and races of the earth, The second clause, however, in its reprobation of ** any other than an entirely voluntary emigration™ by both the vhi§h con--t'ralcting- partie: and =in the reciprocal obligations whereby we secured the solemn and nnqualified engagem}envt .on the part of the Government of China to o’pu‘s laws ma‘kln%;tapenal - offense for a citizen the United Stafes or Chinese subjects to take Chinese m\pects either to the United States or to any other foreign cmm:a without their free and wﬁm Wmtﬁ,m , tutes: v,gr‘?;fprc'egndv ue o tbgg, ticle.

what the pressure of later experlence of our Pacific States ‘may urge upon the attention of this Government, as essential fo public welfare, seems to be in the right direction and to contain important advantages which, once relinquished, cannot be easily recovered. ! The second topic which interested the two Governments under the actnal conditions of things which, prompted the. Burlingame Treaty was the adequate protection under the solemn and definite %uamntees of the treaty, of Chinese ° already in this coi@ntry = and those who should seek our shores, This was the object and forms the subject of the sixth article by whose reciKrocal engagement the citizens an(f'subjccts of the two Governments respect--ively visiting or residing in the country of the other are secured the same privileges, immunities, or exemptions there enjoyed by the citizens or subjects of the most favored Nations. ~ The treaty of 1858, to which these articles are made supplemental, provides !for a great Amount of grivil,ege and Frotection both of the persons and property of American citizens in China. But it is upon the sixth article that the main body of the treaty-rights and securities of the Chinese already in this country dépend. .Its abrogation, were the rest of the treaty left’in force, would leave them to such .treatment as we should voluntarily accord them by our h?vs and customs. - Any treaty obligation would be wanting to restrain our liberty of action toward them, or measure or sustain the right of the Chinese Government to redress in their hehalf. The lapse of ten years since the negotiation of the- Burlingame Treaty has exhibited to the notice of the Chinese = Government, as well as to our own people, the working of this ex_geriment? of immigration in great numbers of hinese laborers to this country, and their maintenance here of all traits of race. religion, manners and customs, habitation, mode of life. segregation here, and the keeping up of the ties of their original home, which stamp them as strangers and sojourners, and not as 'incorporated . elements of our national life and growth, This experience may naturally suggest a reconsideration of the subject as dealt with by the Buriingame Treaty, and may properly become the occasion for more direct and circumspect recognition in renewed negotiations of the difliculties surrounding this political and social problem. It may well be that, to the apprehension of the Chinese Government no less than our own, the simple provisiong of the Burlingame Treglt?' may need to be replaced by more carcful methods, securing the Chinese and ourselves against a larger and more rapid infusion of this foreign race than our system of industry and society can take up and assimilate with ease and safety. This ancient Government, ruling a polite and eensitive peoplé, distinguished by a high sense of National pride, may properly desire the adjust‘ment of their relations with ug, which would in all things confirm and in no-degree endanger the permanent peace, and amity, and growing commerce, and prosperity, which it has been the object and effort of our cxisting treaties to cherish and perpetuate. ~ i - Iregard the very grave dircontent of the people of the Pacific States with the present working of the Chinese immigration, and their still graver apprehensions therefrom in the futnre, as deserving the most serious attention of the people of the whole country, and a solicitous intereston the part of Congress and the Executive, If this were not my ownjud&mcnt, the passage of this bill by both houses of Congress would Impress upon me the seriousness of the situation, when’ a majority of the representatives of the people of the whole country had thought it necessary to justify so serious a measure of.relief. |

The anthori’% of Congress to terminate a treaty } with a foreign Power b&' expressing the williof the Nation no longer to adhere to it is asfree from controversy under our Constitution.as is the further proposition tliat the power of making new treaties or modifying existing treaties is not lodged by the Constitution in Congress, but in the President by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, ‘as shown by the concurrence of two-thirds of that body. A denunciation of a treaty by any Government is confessedly justifiable only upon some reason, both of the highest justice and of the highest necessity. The action of Coneress in the matter of the French Treaties in 1798, if it be regarded as an abrogation by this Nation of the subsisting treaty, strongly illustrates the character and degreée of jusiification which was then thought suitable to such a proceeding. The prcum?)le of the act recites that *The. treaties concluded between the United States and France have been repeatedly violated on the part of the French Government, and just claims of the United States for the reparation of injuries so committed have been rvfusc&., and their attempts to negotiaj® the amicable adjustment of all conq)laint.s betwesn the two Nations have been repelled with indigmity,” and that ‘ under the anthority of the Erench ‘Government there is yet pursued against th{a Iﬂ}}:ited States a system of predatory violence, infracting said treaties and hostile to the rights of a free and independent Nation.” The enactment as a logical consequence of these recited facts declares ‘‘that the United States are of right freed and exonerated from the stipulations of treaties of the Consular Convention heretofore concluded between the United States and France, and that the same shall not henceforth be regarded as legally oblivntor{ on the Government or the citizens of the United States.” The history of the Government shows no other instance of the abrogation of a treaty by Congress. Instances . have sometimes occurred where o{t;he ordinary legislation of Congress has, by its conflict with some treaty obligations of the Government toward foreign Powers, taken effect as an in-’ fraction of a treaty, had been generally declared to be OPcmtive to that result. But neither such legiglation. nor such judicial < sanction of the same, 'has been regarded as an abrogation, even for the moment, of the treaty. On the contrary, the the treaty, in such cases, still subsists between the Governments, and the casual infraction is repaired ‘by appropriate satisfaction in the maintenance of the treaty. . ; The bill before mé does not enjoin u)fon the--the abrogation of the entire Burlingame Treaty, much less of the principal treaty of which it is made the supplement. As the power of modifying an existing treaty, whether by adding or striking ont a provision, is a part of the treaty making power under the Constituiion, its exerciscis not competent for Congress, nor would the assent of China tothis partial abrogation of the treaty make the action of Congress in thus procuring an amendment of the treaty a competent exercise of authority under th~ Constitution. The importance, however, of this special consideration seems superseded by the principle that a denunciation of a part of a treaty not made on the terms of the treaty itself separate from the rest is a dennnciation of the whole treaty. As the other ‘high contracting party has éntered into no treaty obligations except such as include the part denounced, the denunciation by one party of the part necessarily liberates the other party from the whole treaty. : ! ¢ I am convinced that whatever urgency might in any quarter or by any interest be supposed to reuire the instant suppression of further immigra;lion from China, no reason can require the immediate withdrawal of our treaty protection of the Chinese already in this country, and no circumstances can tolerate an exposure of our citizens in China, merchants or missionaries; to the consequences of so sudden an abrogation of their treaty protection. Fortunately, however, the actual recesgion in the flow of immigration from China to the Pacific Coast, shown by trustworthy statistics, relieves us from any apprehension that the treatment of the subject 1n the proper course of diplomatic negotiations will introduce any features of discontent or disturbance among the communitics directl affected. Were such delays franght yvidx more inconveniences than- ‘have ever been suggested by tiie interests most earnest in promoting this legislation, I cannot but regard the summary disturbance of our existing treaties with China-as vastly more inconveui{.nt to muck wider and more permanent inter ests of the country. : - I have no occasion to insist upon more general consideration of the- interest and . an'ty which sidcredly guard the faith of the Nation in whatever form of obligation it may have been aiven. These sentiments animate the delibera tions of Congress and pervade the minds of our " whole pecople. Our historv :gives little occasion for any reproach in this regard, and in askin the renewed -attention of Conlfress to this bi]l,% ~am persuaded their action will maintain public duty and public honor. - R. B. HAYES. ~ ExecuTive MANsION, March 1, 1879.

Yindicated. The investigation into the cipher telegrams is over, and what Was hoped by his enemies to overwhelm him with shame has made Mr. Tilden stand fairer in the eyes of his countrymen. He has .come out of the investigation with no stain on his honor, a.n% elevated in the opinions of all.candid men. The testlmon’% proved that what he said was true: ¢To the 1:People: who, as I believe, elected me President of the United States; to the four millions and a quarter of citizens who gave me their suffrages, 1 owed duty, service and eve‘riy‘ honorable sacrifice, but not a surrender of one jot or tittle of m sense of riﬁht or of personal selz respect. Whatever the disappointment to those who voted for me: whatever the public consequences of suffering the subversion of the Electoral system, in which alone free gov-ernment—self-government—can be carried on; by whatever casuistry a different course mighg; have been advocated or defended, I was resolved that SLFITESD o Bea s Chief Magistracy of my conntry, would *ng*m*mg thmbi&iars. I

was determined in ‘such an event, or in the apprehension of such an event, that I would meet such a degraded condition of public affairs, not by sharing in it in any degree, not, by acquiescence, not by toleration, but by an unqualified and perpetual protest, appealing to the people to reassert and re-establish their great right—the greatest of their rights—the right without which all others are worthless —the right to ‘elective self-govern-ment.”” The testimony has vindicated Mr. Tilden as to that position. The witnesses-upon whom his enemies relied to prove him false to his professions each and all concurred in testifying to his conscientiousness and his probity. That proof cannot be assailed. The statements of the witnesses and. all the circumstances agree, and: they embrace everything necessary to a full understanding of the matter. No court, no jury, could hesitate a moment to acquit Mr. Tilden of wrong intent and wrong-doing in the premises. Whatever indiscreet friends may have done, or may have wanted to do, Mr. Tilden himself neither countenanced, directly nor indirectly, anything wrong. This very reverse was the case, as the testimony shows. When he had an intimation that the Returning Boards of Louisiana, Florida and South Carolina were for sale, and feared that certain of his friends might become involved in the seandal, and commit him in some way to it, he cut the matter short by ordering their return, and denouncing the idea of purchase. - : :

It was proved beyond the shadow of doubt or controversy that the Returning Boards of the States named were for sale; that they were in the market for a purchaser, and named their price, and that they could have been bought. THey were offered for sale. The testimony, we repeat, proves that Mr. Tilden did not %uy. Nobody denies that. He might have purchased one or all. One would have sufficed. Mr. Tilden could easily have spared the money for that one. But he would not have the Presidency on such terms, nor in that way. Others might not have hesitated to purchase; not so Mr. Tilden. On that point he says: - ‘“The danger of entertaining wrong is that it will grow; one man does a thing because another does it; reaction follows reaction; wrongs grow until they become a common practice—that was one of the reasons which impelled me to put my foot upon any approach to anything of this kind.” All these things are facts proved, and proved by evidence that is not and cannot be impeached. . There is no witness, no fact, no circumstance to the contrary. Mr. Tilden stands before the world unscathed. His honor and his charactér have become portions of the Democratic party. We rejoice, as should every individual not full of partisan malice, that the investigation has resulted in the complete vindication of Mr. Tilden. He stands to-day a citizen of the Republic of whom Q{lée Republic may well feel proud.—€incinnati Enquirer.

Secor Robeson and What he Did in

the Navy Department.’

During the eight years of Robeson’s administration the names of sevegty vessels disappeared from the naval re%ister, 4 of which were lost at sea, 46 sold and ‘the proceeds paid into the Treasury, and 20 broken. up for the benefit of contractors.- If this destroyed property, which cost originally $100,000,000, is put down at only $50,000,000, we have in the eight vears an expenditure of more than %232,000,000. The property sold, if owned by private parties, would have brought at least $20,000,000. The Government received for it less than $2,000,000. b The way in which the business was conducted may be inferred irom the statement that N, McKay bought the Delaware for $5,175, removed material to the amount of $20,000, and then sold the hulk for $5,000. The Severn was advertised for sale, and a bid made which the Secretary declined to confirm. Subsequently the ship was turned over to John Roach, one of his pets, for $20,000, though other parties were anxious to purchase at a higher figure. In 1876-77 a contract was made for boilers with Hunt, Roach & Gardner at prices far above the market rate; so much above that the committee believe, if competition had been admitted, the boilers could have been procured at from 12 to 14 cents per dpound less than the price actually paid. The law requiring 'supplies .to be J)urcha.sed from the lowest bidder, and also requiring proposals to be accompanied by written guarantees and sureties, ‘‘has been wholly ignored in over 850 cases.”’ : ; .

Q’)ow, suppose that Robeson, instead of being the agent of the people collectively, had been an agent of a private corporation, and that such a record as the above were produced against him. Does anyone doubt that he would go to the Penitentiary? Does anybody doubt that those who had suffered by his criminal mismanagement could and would dprocure his punishment? Does anybody imagine that the loss of millions of dollars would be patiently borne by the losers, and the man_ by whom they had lost been permitted to go unwhipped of justice? bt Not a single dollar of these millions stolen and wasted under Robeson’s administration will ever find its way back into the public Treasury. Instead of feeling any of the pains and penalties of outraged law, as a vulgar offender most assuredly would, he will, on the 4th of March next, have a seat in the National Legislature, and assist in manufacturing laws for those who have been robbed by or through him.—S¢.

: A SCENE FROM REAL LIFE. Father and Mother Weeping Over the Child Charity Must Bury—No Work, . No Money, No Food, No Doector, No Meaicine and No Baby., ‘ FiLtH and squalor do . not constitute the whole of New York’s poverty, and many suffer keenly to-day who have never before known what it was to be poor. On the hard and narrow table of the rear room of a Broome-street tenement there lay this morning the dead body of a hoy whom many a fashionable lady would haye been glad to call her own, and of whom any mother would have been proud. The story was told shortly enough by a neighbor, who said: ¢¢They dign’t have money enough -to pay the doctor, so he wouldn’t come, and they haven’'t a cent with which to buy a coffin.”” The evidences of the truth of this sad statement were at hand. The carpetless floor was scrupulously clean, but it held no article of furniture except the table now used as a bier, and the little fireless stove on which rested the cups and plate, on whicg some kind-hearted fellow-tenant had sent in all that either of the two parents of the dead child had eaten for many hours. The atmosphere was as cold as the hands of the dead child, and the wailing cries of the mother could be heard from the street. Tacked with a big iron nail in the center of the door of No. 30 Broome street were a couple of yards of white material ladies use for rucqing. It was not new, and its resemblance to crape was feeble. In its center ‘was fastened a bow of white satin with a corded edge of a fashion twenty years ago. It was evidently a gift from the hoardings of some fri’emﬁy neighbor. The tenement is a five-story brick and iron-finished structure of the better class, erected in the Jast half dozen years, whose windows look in one direction down into the dirty ship-building docks, and across in the wilderness of Williamsburg, and in the other direction into the great east side of New' York. No prettier child of three years' ever lay on a princely bier than the little lifeless .form stretched out on this wreck of a bare table. The white. face was finely lined, and the head was high and wide, with a total absence of the bulgin% forehead so common to many children. ¢ Harvey died,” said the mother, Mrs. Stewart, ““because we did not have money to pay for proper attention. He had too much head, and as soon as the disease got hold of him it went right to his brain.”” Then she burst into another flood of tears, and wailed: ‘“Oh, he was ' the last! He was all I had.” Friends had come from unexpected quarters, and Miss Amelia Hosky, a little, airy young Russian lady, had collected $5 toward the funeral expenses, and was waiting for the mother to come down in search of the additional money to cover the expenses of ‘the simple funeral. - The mother is a pleasant-looking matron of thirty or ‘more; blonde, with pink and white )cheeks; she has helped to eke out her husband’s scanty income by carrying a basket of apples through the oflices of Trinity DBuildings. Two months ago she lost the second of three children, and since then the last one has 'been her constant companion on her cold rounds, and in' that way he prob‘ably met his death, which was caused ‘either by croup or diphtheria. When ‘they found bim, as they thought, choking to death on Friday evening, and Daniel Stewart ran for the nearest doctor, he refused to come without his pay. The physician-who at last came said, ‘“You'd better get another doctor,”” and they spent their last fifteen cents for the prescription he gave them. - The landlady of the house in which they live said this morning that beth husband and wife were sober and industrious people, and that their $6.50 monthly rent was paid as promptly as they could do it. ‘¢ When her husband lost his work, and she made only a few cents with her apples,’”’ she said, ¢ then I got it one dollar or ten shillings at a time, as fast as they could put it by. ‘He never drank anyt;hirjlgl,l only he ‘couldn’t get any work. ey’re very decent people, sir, and have had great trouble,”” and then the tears began again to flow from the eyes that were ‘already swollen and red with weeping.

Daniel Stewart is a tall and sturdy New Yorker, a native of the western part of the State. His wife came of a well-to-do Virginia family, and they met and were married at Pittsburgh. He is a man forty-six years of age, of apparently something more than ordinary education, able and willing to work. ' Reduced to . the necessity of driving a car on; a Pittsburgh line, he lost his place and his oldest child at about the same time. Hecame to New York in November, and his recommendations and a letter from the Pittsburgh company secured him immediate employment on the Grand-street line. When, with the beginning of winter, cars began to be dropped, he, as among the last to come, was among those first to go. ~ His name was kept on the list, and he had an occasional car until two weeks ago, when it was completely dropped. This morning he said: *“l'm poor, but Um honest and sober, and only want work. Last night the men ‘on the road came and wanted to have a wake, but I said, ‘No, I'll have no drinking or carousing over mdy dead boy,” and they went away and I sat with him all night alone.”” Perhaps certain angels of God shared his vigil ‘with him.—N.
