It it admitted that both Garfield and Arthur knew of the expenditure of these large sums of money. It is no wonder then that Arthur proposed Dorsey'* health at that memorable banquet. A politician of Ikyrsey's stamp doe* not regard these disclosures as reflecting any discredit upon himself or bis party. He re marks in excuse, however, that "politi cat practice* are not usually those pre scribed by Sunday school managers and no matter how innocent they may have been in intention there are people who would think the end attained did not justify the means." Mr. Dorsey is en lirely correct in saying that there are people who think that way. In fact the result of the recent elections show* that a very large majority of the people of the country are coming to that opin ion.—Jlarrut/urg Patriot. The Mr. Hosier, referred to in the above aa the .Star route partner of Dorsey, is the same man who is to con test for a seat in the Pennsylvania Sen- . ate from the Cumberland district.

Reminiscences of John Howard Payne and of the Gberokee Indians. Tin- ftoutlirii World. John Howurri Pityne, author of Home," WH*U warm per* tmnal friend of John Run*, who will he remembered u* the celebrated chief of' theCherokeee. At the time the ('her* okeee were removed front their homes in Georgia to their present possessions west of the Mississippi River l'ayne was spending a lew weeks in Georgia with Ross, who was occupying a mis erable cabin, haviug been forcibly ejected from his former home. A num ber of prominent Cherokoes w ere in prison, and that portion of Georgia in which the tribe was located was scour ed bv armed squads of the Georgia militia w ho had orders to arrest all who refused to leave the country. While Ross and Payne were seated before the lire in the hut the door was suddently burst open und six or eight nilitiumeu sprang into the room. Rosa' wife was seated on a trunk containing many valuable papers and a small amount of money, und at the unexpected intrusion she sprang up and screamed wildly. Ross spoke to her in the Cherokee lan guage, telling her to be seated, as she would save the contents of the trunk, and thus sat down again. The intrud ers told Ross that he and Payne were under arrest and must prepare to ac company the squad to Milledgeville, where they were to be imprisoned. The i soldiers lost no time in taking their prisoner* away. Ross was permitted to ride his own horse, while Payne was mounted on one led by a soldier. As the little party left the hovel rain l>e gan falling and continued until every man was drenched thoroughly. The j journey lasted all night. Towatd mid night Payne's escort in order to keep himself awake, began humming "Home home, sweet, sweet home," when Payne remarked: "Little did I expect to hear that song under such circumstances ami at such a time. Do you know the au thor r "No," said the soldier. "I)o you ?" "Yes," auswered Payne ; "1 compos* 1 ed it." "The devil you did. You can tell that to some fellows, hut not to me. Iok here, you made that song you say ; ifyoudid—and I know you didn't —you can say it all without stopping. It has something in it about pleasure and palaces. Now pitch in and reel it oil", aud if you can't I'll bounce you from your hurso aud lead you instead ' of it." The threat was auswered by Payne, who re|>eatcd the song in a slow, *ul>- I dued tone, und then sang it, making 1 the old woods ring with the teuder melody and pathos of the word*. It touched the heart of the rough soldier, who was not captivated but convinced, aud who said that the composer of such a song should ncvei go to prison it he could help it. And when the party reached Milledgeville they w r<\ afl< r a preliminary examination, discharg* d, much to their surprise. Payne insist ed it was because Ihe leader of the squad had been under the magnetic influence of Ross' conversation, and ROM insisted that they had BI N saved from insult and imprisonment by the power of "Home Sweet Home," so: g a* only those who feel can sing it. The friendship existing between Ross and Payne endured until the grave closed over the mortal remains of lhe latter.
