With President Picrco enmo James
Guthrie, the Kentucky Anak, with
leviallmn shoulders, nnd six feet nnd
a bull' of height. Son of a famed In

and cattle drover in youth. Once, in
a characteristic Kentucky affray, he
received n hot from a political oppo
nent which confined him to his bed
for three years. lie brought to tho
Treasury boldnoss, sagacity, and hand
writing which no man could decipher.
Ono day he sent a letter to a friend
in Baltimore The next morning its
recipient appeared in tho Department,
and handed buck the missive.
"Mr. Guthrio," suid he, "I can't
muke out one word of your letter but
the signature, so I have brought it
for you to translate."
The Secretary knitted his brows,
and puzzled over it for some minutes.
At lift he cave it np.
"Hang mo if 1 can rend it cither.
I liavo lorgolten its oxncl contents,
but I know w hat 1 wnnted to soo you
about. Sit down nnd I'll toll you."
Guthrie was a walking cyclopedia
of the treasury. Ho knew more tlo
tails in each .branch than tno suuorui-
nate spocially charged with them.
His Intuitions wore like lightning.
Old clerks insist that after hearing
tho first sentence lie forcsuw ull that
a man was going to say to him, and
tell droll hlortesol his sleeping through
long conversations and then waking
un and uriswering encn potni exactly

he would run over a hundred letters
wailing his signature, nnd throw
asido each ono containing a mistake
of phrase or figure, just as the cashier
goes through a pile of bank notes and
flings out counterfeits.
Tho mouldy archievos contain two
bits of paper which illustrate not only
Guthrie's character, but the contrast
between two Presidents. Whilo Jack
son was in tho Whito House, ho re
quested that tho account of one of his
special friends might bo paid. Tho
I'ourth Auditor refusod to pass it, in
sisting that as a sworn accounting
officer ho could not overlook its irreg
ularity nnd illegality. Whon that
answer was reported to him, Old
Hickory instantly sont buck tho origi
nal document, with this indorsement
on tho bnck s
"Let tho President's fiat be obey od.
Androw Jackson."
The account was paid forthwith.
During Pierco's administralion,Con
grcss passed a law, increasing twenty
per cent, tho salaries of Government
employees. JJIcholson.tho Public Prin
ter, presented his account, with this
aditional per contago. Guthrio re
jected it on tlio ground Hint ho was a
contractor, not an employee. Nichol

The Song that Was Hushed Forever,
A Tory curious incident, illustrative
of tho power which can bo exercised

tho warblings of the littlo songster

words socmod to bo understood, fur
immediately tho song, wits hus-hed,

Drop of Ink.
Think of a queen's first signature of
a death warrant, whero the tears tried
to blanch tho futul darkness of the
dooming ink ; of n traitor's adhesion
to a deed of rebellion, written in gall :
of a forger's trembling imitation of
another's writing, wlioro each lottor
toon iho shape ol tho gallows ; of a
lover's pussionnto proposal written in
liro; of a proud girl's refusal written
in ice ; of a mother's dying expostula
tion with a wayward son, written in
her heart's blood ; of an indignant
ftilhur's disinheriting curses on his
first born, black with tho lo.t tjlor of
tho gray hairs which shall go down
in sorrow to the grave, think of thoso
and of all the other impassioned writ
ings to which every hour givos birth.

Energy of Will.
It is energy of will that is tho soul
of tho intellect; wherever it is, there
ial fe: where it is not, nil is dullness
and despondency und desolution.
People who have no experience of it
imagino that it is destructive, to the
nerves, exhaustive ol tho animal fiur
its; that it aggravatos too wear nnd
tenr of l.ifo excessively. Hut ihisisun
idlo notion, ns idle as the habits nnd
humors of thoso who cntoituin it.
Wo lenvo it to any man who knows
its real effect, to strike tlio balance
lo compare the exhaustion of nn indo
lout day with that of un active one;
to say in which of tho Iwo casos the
subject is in better heart for work and
filler to undergo it.
Whatever wo may bo about, ono
thing, wo believe, is corlain, that if
tho rpiiits aro spunt by enegy they
aro utterly wasted by idleness; lit
worst, energy can only end in relaxa
tion it is superior to it for a while,;
und possibly at last may fall into it;
whereas, idleness is ucliial relaxation
from first to last, nr.d can bo nolhing
else. But even this view, favorable
as it is, is yol not favorable enough to
be just. Tho fact is, that violence is
not necessary to energy nny more
than tyranny is to kingship; on tlio
contrary, it is tho greatest energy thai
does the most work.
Knergy, literally from tho Greek,
moans inward woi kingness; tho bloom
ing ol the flower is energy, the increase
of fruit is energy, the growth of Hie
body is cnorgy; yet, in nil theso there
is no violence ; the efficacy is not
deslructivo, but vital j without it the
whole framo must fall at once into cor
ruption, with it. instead of corruption,
wo have lito. But this, it may bo said,
is a refinement. It may bo so, but it
is true in fact, nevertheless. The
gainsayer will find it difficult to pro
duce anything from tho subject of surer
or more essential truth.
Man's Salvation. Men who have
a half dozen irons in tho firo are
not tho ones to go crazy. It is
the man of voluntary or compelled
leisuro, who mopes nnd pines and
thinks himself into the mad houso or
tho grave Motion is ull nuluru's luw.
Action is man's salvation, physical
nnd menial ; und yet nino out of ton
aro wistfully looking forward lo tho
coveted hour when they shall have
leisuro In do nothing, tho very siren
that has lured to death many a "suc
cessful" man. Ho only is truly wise
who lays himself out to work till life's
luloU hour, nnd thul Is the man who
will livo the longest, and will livo to

a world's Wonder. Some thirty-fire or.
forty years ago it was nn unknown,
villugu nn tho shores of a Wosterq
hike. But yoetcrdny it wus ono of Ihe
largest, fairest und most flouriehing,
not only qf tho eitifcs of America, butj
of tho world.' Our" Cbicnlip friends
were not without good rcus6ii''fcs
speaking of their own city ns a possi
ble rivul to New York. 'I o day, if wo,
can judge from our lutest news, n,ot
more man one ihirii u inueeo any
considerable portion of the city has
been savod lrom tho destructive and
devastating conflagration. From It, 4

this Chicago fire will rank with thd
most disastrous thul the world has
over experienced. It will be sad, in
deed, if Chicago, whivh sprung up us;
rapidly as Jonah's gourd, should per-
ish as quickly. In this ca'td 'shCf
mourning Jonahs will bo ninny.
It is not our business, however, tq
dwell further on the destruction of our
sistor city. Our purpose ruthcr is,
taking it for granted thut thero bus,
been enormous destruction of property . .
and that thousands upon thousand,
have been rendered by one full swoop
of the destroying hand not only homo
less but penniless, to appeal, on tho
broad principles of out- common na
tionality, our common Chrlstiani
and our common humanity, to our
millions of readers, in proportion to
their ubility, to come to the rescue.
Now or never our cliurity and self
sacrifice must be tested. We measure
this sorrow not by the fifty or sixty
or sevonty millions of property which
has been destroyed, not by the thou.
sands upon thousands who have been
left without a home and without a
cont, not by tho unknown number of
precious lives which have been lost;
W e forget none of those, but wo think
also of tho total destruction of till or
almost ull sources of income for somq
timo lo come, and particularly of the
countless numbers of old nnd young
und middle aged who cry for bread,
when thoro is no bread to give. It is
a sad and sorrowful euro. No such
caso, in luct, lias appealed to the
world's sympathy in n.uny genera
tions. When was such sorrow so
condensed us in the message of the
Mayor of Chicago lo the Mayor of h.
Louis? "Send us food for tho suffer
ing. Our city is in ashes ; our water
works tiro burnt." It is equally grati
fying to know that from almost nl
parts of the Union the reports rccoiv.
ed leave us in no doubt that whatever
cun bo done will bo dono for the relief
of tho Chicago sufferer, nnd that
without delay. Cincinnati bus rushed
lo the rescue; so hus St. Lot)is ; sd
has Sun Pi-uncisco; so, of course, I. av
Boston and Philadelphia. Even thd
great cities of tho New Dominion uru
stirred with sympathetic terror, un
Toronto and Quebec and Montreal are
determined to give substantial proof
that nationul burrier lines aro no hin
drance to thoso feelings which aro
common to tho raco and which nfior
alt "make tho whole world kin." Thq
outburst of fueling has been so spon
taneous, so hearty, so noble, that in
spile of visible degeneracy and unmis
takable general peltishucss we fee)
proud of our common fuith and our
common humanity.
We should not havo been pleased if
Now York city had lagged behind.
In spile of all its faults out-city has
won its way to a first place among the
great cities of the world either in past
or present times. Our wealth is sec
ond only to that of London. Qjr en
terprise is such that wo have no stipe,
ri'ir, if, indeed, we buvo any equal.
Our liberality is, when occasion culls
for it, grand and up to tho high mark
of our great ability. On hundreds of
occasions our libci-tdity has been test
ed, nnd when was it fonnj wanting?
In 183a, when New ji.rk nunvrcd

in tlio race? It pleases us to know
that Mayor Hall is determined that in
this enso New York shall not loso the

mid which it so deservedly enjoys.
The Mayor's proclamation is ull that
it should be. It is timely, it is lo the
