Tom sava that I may make the story public," if I think his experi ence will fcrveas a warning to any one, lie has been kind enough to pive me several particulars of the af fair which lie has hitherto refrained from speaking about. To be sure, more than a year has parsed, and the t'de of poor Tom's mortification has become blunted, but there was a time whe n any reference to the unlucky affair of which I am jroing to write, in his presence, caused hun great annoyance. Our factor' in the office of n Inch 1 am employed as book-keeper is in the village of Dash, several mile:i from New York, on the line of one of our well known railrwuls. The company employs nearly two hun dred men. and ti:e weekly pay-roll amounts to about twerJtytvive hun dred dollars.

This irTttTOTfR:fT.r'.,!;niTryfl Mr. irlomin, the penior partner, as he entered the office one Saturday morning, and threw himself into a chair. '"Mr. Lucas has sprained his ancle and cannot go to New York for the money, as usual. I suppose I mut go, though I'm f-o busy that I don't f-ce how' I can ppare the time" "I will go if you wl.-di," I said, "though ' I'm rather behind-hand with porting, as vou know, fir. Still ;' "No, no!' he exclaimed. "I would rather go myself than epar-3 you." "I e.iv,v intcrnofcl Tom Sloman, v.ho Lad been seated at his father's desk reading the morning paper for the last hour, "I'll go if you like, sir. Tom had been enjoying his col lege vacation for about a fortnight Two-thirds of each day he spent in lounging about the office, and it was in r-cme degree his fault that I was behind with my work. I liked Tom. He was a well-intentioned fellow, but just a little egotistical, lie loved good companionship, was talkative, and made acquaintances easily. Ilia i.ivorite theme of con versation was Thomas Sloman, Jr., and that gentleman's shrewdness ; ana sagacity lie nt-iu in very mgn esteem. "The Xiian who v.i.-hes to over reach me," he used to say, "must get up early in the morning." "I'll go if you like, sir," raid Tom to his father "I've nothing else to do, ar.d I'd like to ride to the city and back." Mr. Sloman cleared his throat, as was his habit when aiiythinganuoy cd him, r-i.d looked thoughtfully at his son. "I don't know," lie said thought fall v. "Vhy, I'd like to go." said Tom. 'Twenty-five hundred dollars is a large sum cf money," said his fath er, "and you know, ...Tom, you are rather heedless sometimes." The young man made no reply, but his" face flushed angrily and he began impatiently tappiug his boot with his little bamloo cane. . "There are a good many sharpers in New York City, as you know," added Mr. fcloman, "anu a man who carries money with him there needs to be very cautious and very care ful." 'My dear sir," said Tom, whom this remark had touched in a tender spot, "1 flatter myself that I can bring that twenty-five hundred dol lars from the bank in New York to this place without losing it. I think I'm sharp cnotich to !! - "O, I'm we'd acquainted with your opinion on that point," laugh ed Mr.Vloinan, "and it is for that very reason that I hesitate to trust you". And besides. Tom, as I said before, you are often heedless in what you do." "You treat me like a child, fath er," grumbled Tom. "Well, well," said Mr. Sloman, impatiently, "we've talked enough about it You msy ge, Tom, but I must caution von to be very careful with lite money, and with whom you come in contact while you have ucas was fellow rob t.Irv.

An hour later h n Stepped Oil Lofl . f x- , V.V. tram for ACtf 1 Oik. nl the SOMERSET, Not seeing a vacant seat in the car which he entered, ; Tom was about going forward when some one touched his arm, and a voice said : "IIere'8 a feat, sir." Tom turned. The speaker, an in telligent looking, well-dressed man of about thirty, was in the act of re moving his valise from the seat be side him to the floor. "I have bo often been inconven ienced," said the stranger, as Tom took the proffered place, ,lby the hoggishness I can't call it by any other n?me of persons in the cars who fill every scat near them with their baccace. that I never allow myself to give a fellow traveler cause to complain of such conduct on my pert." 'That is praiccwortny ot you, sir, said Tom, witn an airot importance. "I wieh that every one was as courte ous." "Thank you, sir. Going to New York. 1 presume ?" "Yes, sir." "So am I. I'm a drummer al ways on the wing. Traveling just now for Brown fc Co., of Boston ; woolen goods. It's a very fascinat ins life, t-ir. But perhaps you're in the business yourself ?" "No." "No ? Well, do you know, I half thought you were. You have cer tainly a business manner. I venture to say that you've the making of an A No. 1 drummer in you, sir." "Do you think so ?" asked Tom, pleased with the thought of a com pliment ' "I certainly do. What is your business ? if you will pardon my curiosity. "Just at present, l m a siuieni ai Yale," replied Tom. "Indeed ! I have a brother at Yale. He's a Soph." "So am I. Perhaps I know him. What is his name?" asked Tom. "Jones." "What. Fred Jones, of Boston ?" "Yes." "I guess I do know him," replied Tom, with enthusiasm. You must have heard rred speak ot me lorn Sloman." "Are yon Tom Sloman ? I have heard Fred speak of you. He thinks very highly of you." -Fred and I always get along well tocether." said Torn, complacently. "Yes : I'm delighted to mako the arouaintar.ee of a eolJoce mate of mv brother." . Tom Ihoucht rr. Jones 'rt. very agreeable fellow, ajtd Mr. Johes cer tainly did all he could to strengthen the favorable impression he had made. lie had, it appeared, been an ex tensive traveler, and during the re mainder of the ride he entertained Tom with a very genial, pleasant talk of his experiences in different U4jfihe iorhL . Jle hadLiust be gun what promised t be a thrilling story cf a strange experience of his in Paris, when the train came to a stand-still in the Grand. Central De pot." "Do you go up town ?" inquired Mr. Jones, as they left the car. "No," lie replied, "I go to Dash Bank.' "Sorry that we shall have to part I go to Fiftieth street. I hope we shall meet again, my dear fellow." "I hone so, I'm sure, Mr. Jones. But, I say, I should like to hear the rest of that story." "You may, I hope, sometime. Can't possibly stop now, I'm sorry to say, for I've a business engage ment. Good-bye!" and the genial pleasant Mr. Jones touched his hat and hurried away. Torn took a Fourth avenue car, regretting that he could not have the company of his new acquaintance, for whom he had conceived quite a favorable opinion. Half an hour later he reached the bank and presented his check with a letter cf introduction from his father, or the teller would not have cashed it. "Now, we'll see whether I can get back to Dash without being rob bed !" was his mental exclamation as he left the bank. "If anybody thinks he can get this money let him try I" As no one heard the challenge, no one accepted it. and Tom jumped on a passing car. At the- same moment a short stout, elderly man, in a pepper-and-salt suit, whom Tom had glanced at and noticed in front of the bank, leaped upon the front platform. Tom entered the car at one end this man entered it at the other. There was certainly nothing very suspi cious in his appearance. It was that of a well-to do business man, but Tom eyed him very sharply. Apparently unconscious that there was anv one eleoin the car, the man seated himself and pulled a news paper from hrs pocket, and began reading with an appearance of great interest. Upon the arrival of the car at the Grand Central Depot, Tom arose to his feet and the man in the pepper-and-salt suit rose to his. When Tom got out the car the man in the pepper-and-salt suit got out too. Tom entered the depot, and the man in the pepper-and-salt suit fol lowed him. Tom pretended not to notice him, but advanced to the of fice and boucht a ticket. When he turned the elderly man stood near him engaged in the examination cf the time table and apparently not paying the least attention to him or his brown paper parcel. 'My dear fellow, this i?, indeed, a most agreeable surprise !' exclain. d a familiar voice, as Tom turned away from the ticket office, 'Is it possible that you, too, return by the next train?' The speaker was co other than the agreeable Mr. Jones, who, .13 he spoke, grasped Tom's hand and shook it with great warmth. 'Are you going back soon ?' asked Tom. delichted at the unexpected appearance of his companion of the j morning. '1 thought- 'Ye?, I ' know,' interrupted Mr. Jones. 'I expected to remain in the city a week, but I received a tele cram recalling me to Boston. Mv ; grandfather has been taken very ill land is not expected to live. I I couldn't ignor such a call of course, ESTABLISHED, 1827. PA., WEDNESDAY, MARCH I, 18S2. and here I am. ait - a moment until I get my ticket One to Bos ton, if you please, sir. Thank you, Now, we're all right, I think.' Come on, my boy.' and seizing Tom's arm, the genial Mr. Jones hurried him along the platform and oil board the train. ' 'I'm in luck,' resumed Mr. Jones, upon whose spirits the melancholy condition of Ins grandfather seemed to have no depressing effect I didn't anticipate the pleasure of your company on my homeward journey. Here's a good place; sup pose we sit here. That's it Now, we're as comfortable as yoa 1 please.' As Mr. Jones paused, tlie man in the pepper-and-salt suit entered jid appropriated the seat directly be hind the-one occupied by Tom, who thought 'AH right old "fellow, I'm ready for you,' but said nothing. -Mr. Jones was as entertaining as ever. II13 flow of spirits and his fund of anecdotes seemed absolute ly inexhaustable. i :By the way, suggested Tom, as the train moved out of the depot, 'suppose you finish that story you bad just begun when we arrived in New York this noon.' i 'Story ! story !' said Mr. Jones, reflecting. Ah, yes, it was about my adventure m Cadiz, with Don Carlos' 'No, No,' interrupted Tom ; nbout an adventure of yours in Paris. You were returning to your hotel one dark night when your attention was attracted by a cry of Help !' You ' 'O, yes, I remember! Well, I rushed in the direction from which the sound appeared to proceed. As I turned down a narrow street the cry was repcana witn startling dis tinctness. I rushed lorward and found a thick-set man in a dark cloak was engaged in a desperate struggle with two rough looking men, who were endeavoring to throw him to the ground. He was fighting well, and giving his assail ants all they could do to overpower him. Just then one of the rascals drew a knife. I gave a loud shout 33 I ran forward. The rascals Eee ing that help was approaching, took to their heels, and though I pur sued them a short distance, they succeeded in effecting' then: escape. I returned to the scene cr the late confiiet. The stout man advanced toward me: j 'May, I request, your card, mon sieur?' he said grasping my hand. 'I hope you are not hurt,' I said, in the best French I could master. 'Not at all, he replied. 'Mon sieur?' he added, with evident emotion, 'you have saved my life. Be sure I shall net be forgetful of the gratitude I owe vou. You will V f v- v n n yd in 'So saying he wrapped his cloak around him and disappeared in. the darkness, : V . , .: 'And did you ever scehiin again ?' inquired Tom, who had listened to his companions story with great interest Tlie next morning, sir,5 said Mr. Jones, impressively, 'as I sat at breakfast a waiter approached me. 'You are wanted, monsieur, at the Tuileries,' he said. 'At the Tuileries,' I gasped. Im possible. By whom. 'By the Emperor,' monsieur. '(), there must be some mistake 1' 'There is no mistake, monsieur. A carriage is waiting at the door to convey you to the palace.' 'Well, sir, I went out and entered the carriage, hardly knowing whether I was awake or dreaming. I ex hausted my ingenuity during the ride in trying to imagine the reason of the summons to the Tuiluries. A servant met me at the door. 'This way, monsieur ' he said, bowing obsequiously ; I have orders to conduct you to uie hmperors private apartment' 1 inliowcu tue servant tnrougu a long, wide hallway, which I thought would never end. Presently we paused before a door, upon which my companion knocked. It was immediately opened by a man whom I at once recognized and the very individual whom I had rescued from the assassin's knife the night before. 'He sprang forward,' saying, 'Ah, Monsieur, you little thought you had saved the life of an Emperor! 'lie was really the Emperor ?' cried Tom. 'No other than the Emperor, Napoleon the Third. It seems that he had been walking the streets of Paris in disguise like old Haroun Al llaschid in the Arabian Night', vou know when he was attacked by the men from whom it was my good fortune to rescue him. 'I spent the remainder of the morning with him, and when I left he presented me with a magnificent gold snuff box set with diamonds. It has never been any particular use to me, for I don't take snuff filthy habit ; but I assure you, nothing would tempt me to part with it It's in my valise now. Would you like to see it?' 'I should, very much,' replied Tom, eagerly. 'Just reach me my valise, then, and 111 show it to you.' To reach the valise, which was in the rack directly over his head, Tom was obliged to use both hands, and therefore to lose possession for tht moment of the precious brown paper parcel which he had untill then held in his lap. He laid it on his seat and rose to hia feet i After gaining possession of the valise, he handed it Mr. Jones, who drew a bunch of keys from his pocket In the meantime Tom had picked up what seemed to be his package of money. i 'It's an elegant box,' said Jones : 'and you will say so, too, when you ! tee it. Pshaw ! too bad ! too bad !' 'What's the matter?' inquired Tom, considerably startled by this exclamation. You havn't lost it, I hope?' 'Oh, r.o, dear me, no! Not so bad as that, but I've lost the key to my valise. Very provoking V 'Try one of mine.' 'It would be of no use. It's a patent lock, you see. . Luckily, I have a duplicaU key at home. Sorry I can't 6how yoa my box : but never mind, it will keep, and youll have an opportunity to see it, I hope.' Tom was annoyed by th unfortu nate loss of the valise key, but he fogot his disappointment in listening to the recital of a most extraordin ary adventure of Mr. Jones in South Africa, which was hardly finished when the train arrived at . 'Well, good-bye, my boy. May the day of our next meeting be not far distant' These were Mr. Jones' parting words. As Tom left the car he glanced at the man with the pepper-and-s. lt suit, but he was asleep, or pretended to be. 'If he really wan after the money, he's had his trouble for nothing,' thought Tom. Ten minutes later ho entered the office, where his father, Dick Fan shaw, the foreman and myself were seated. 'Well, father.' lie said with a com placent smile, 'here I am again.' 'I he money Is it all ryht? ! 'Here it is, sir.' 'You had no trouble, eh ?' 'Of course not' 'I'm very glad of it,' said Mr. Slo man, as he opened it. But what's tins T The money's all right 1 hope sir.' 'Money ! There is no money here?' " 'No money there !' cried Tom and Dick Fanshaw, while I dropped my yen aghast 'Nothing but a lot of slips of old paper,' said Mr. Sloman. Tom drooped into a chair, pale as a ghost Dick uttered a low, pro longed whistle, and I continued to stare bereft of speech. 'What does thi3 mean ?' asked Mr. Sloman, fixing his eyes sternly upon his son's face. Torn sprang to his feet, and hia lace lighted up. 'I'll fix it!' he cried. 'Leave it to me,' and he rushed from the office. His father called him back, but Tomlid not hear him. Dick stepped to the door and locked down the street 'He's running toward the railroad depot,' he t:ad. Perhaps the bundle got changed somewhere down there. Maybe he'll firing the money back with him all right' In fifteen or twenty minutes Tom returned and sank into a chair, gasping for breath. 'Well, asked his father, 'what have you done?' Where is the money?' 'On board the train,' he gasped. 'But I've telegraphed his description to.C , and when the train gets there they'll arrest him.' 'Whom? Whose description?' de- manded Mr. Sloman Then Tom told us all about the man in the pepper-and-salt suit who had followed him from New York. When he had finished his story his I father, said not a word, but again paced the Uoor witn nowerj neaa and contracted brows. Dick Fan shaw returned to his work and I picked up my pen. 'I telegraphed to the conductor,' said Tom, alter an oppressive silence of five minutes' duration. The train must have arrived at C before this, and I'll probably get an answer in a lew minutes.' Ten minutes later Tom received . 1 . 1 1 an answer mat tnc man ne causeu to be arrested was a well-known judge, and not the culprit at all. Tom overcome witn sname ana mortification, told jns father the whole story of his trip, and Mr. Slo man at once felt convinced that Jones was the guilty party. 'Impossible! 'We shall see,' and Mr. Sloman seized his hat and left the office. During his father's absence, Tom sat and gazed out of the window with a most doleful expression of countenance, and without uttering a word. Nearly an hour passed before Mr. Sloman's return. As he entered the office at last, both Tom and I ; looked eagerly into his lace. 'No news ? asked lorn. 'None but what I received from the conductor of the westward-bound train which arrived at the station while I was there.

' era TIIK LEGISLATORS CASE. WI.Y THF.m Decision of the Supreme Court tho Salary Qnent ion. Pnir, ADELriiiA, Feb. 21. The Su- Ereme Court yesterday decided the egislativo salary question in favor of the Legislators. The Constitu tion provides that the members of the General Assembly shall receive "such salary and mileage for reg"lar and special occasions as may be fix ed by law," and no other compensa tion. In 1S74 an act was passed to give Legislators wnat nas been call ed a salary of $1,009 for one hun dred days' service and $10 a day for every day over one hundred provid ing that the number over does not exceed fifty. Last year the Attor ney General pronounced the extra $10 a day unconstitutional. The State Treasurer refused to pay the members the extra $"00. Tlie mat ter was taken to tho Dauphin coun ty court, and Judge Pearson refused a mandamus or. the ground that the word salary referred to the $1,(X)iJ, and that it covered all the pay which the members could demand. The per diem being beyond that sum, was unconstitutional, lhe Supreme Court was unanimously of a different opinion. Chief Justice Sharswood delivered tho opinion which is as follows : io justily a court 111 pronounc ing an act of fie legislature uncon stitutional and void, cither in whole or in part, it must be able to vouch some exception or prohibition clear ly expressed or necessarily implied. The doubt is to be resolved in favor of the constitutionality of the act This rule of construction is so well settled by authority that it is unnec essary to cite the cases. Where the contention i.s a3 to the meaning of the word, the rule is that if any meaning, technical or popular, will sustain the exercise of the power it is sufficient On the other hand, if the strict or legal meaning would have the effect to limit or destroy where the same popular acceptation of the word would support the act, it must be resorted to. Several cas es are quoted to show that the pop ular meaning of the word, if broader than the technical meaning, must be adopted, but not if the ellect be to limit or restrain the general grant of power. If the framers of the present Constitution had gone back to the language of the Constitution cf 177G and provided that "The members of tbe General Assembly shall receive Buch wages and mile age for regular and special sessions as shall he fixed by law," the pres ent cor lention wouM not have aris en. Yet, according to the most ap proved lexicographers, the words wages and salary are. synonymous. They both mean one and the same thing a sum of money periodically paid for services rendered. Are we to look to the debates in tho con vention for the meaning of the word ? Surely not The majority, for all that appears, may have been of opinion that the word salary was as comprehensive as compensation, and was a more fitting word to U3e in application to such an honorable and important position. If it had been their intention to prohibit a per diem salary the' could have easily said so in very few words. The truth is that if there is any dif ference in the popular sense between ; wages and salary it is only the ap plication of them to more or less honorable services. A merchant pays Avages to his servant He sweeps the floor, makes the fire and runs errands. But he compensates his clerk cr salesman with a salary. Had the act cf May 11, 1874. said a salary of 810 per diem it would have been good English and perfectly in telligible to the common mind. It is contended that the evident object of the clause was to shorten the sessions of the General Assem bly. If this was the object the word was very unhappily chosen. A much simpler and more effective mode would have been to provided a rate per dav, diminishing from day to day as the session continued. It is hard to believe that the conven tion thought that the General As sembly would bo influenced by so sordid" and unworthy a motive. We ought to be careful net to hamper the power of the Legislature by any narrow, strained construction, as it may be very important hereafter, in view of what seems a growing evil frequent absence of the members to provide that members who are not present and do not record their votes on the final passage of ilte bills shall not receive their salary for that day. If, however, they re ceive a round sum for the session, it would deprive the Legialiture of the power to make such a provision." Saved by Oil.

The present Congress is making very fair fogress with its1 legisla tive work, aid is ahead of any pre vious Congress for some years past Five of the appropriation billa have been considered, and one passed. The apportionment bill has been disposed of by the house. During the session nearly 5,000 bills and resolutions have been offered in the House. This is more than twice as many as were ever before filed so early in the session. The commit tees are very industriously at work, and, since Lent will begin on the 22nd inst, and put a stop to fash ionable nocturnal gayety, Congress will be able to give less divided at tention to public business. Many members think Congress will ad journ as soon as the first of June, but the majority are of the opinion that the session will continue until the middle of July. A large number of the thousands of bills that have been introduced are of a petty private character, and it is ridiculous that our laws furnish no other court than an unwieldy and expensive national legislature for their adjudication. There ap pears to be an absolute necessity of ome measure to relieve Congress from the burden of private legisla tion in tho form of petitions and bills for the relief of individuals. The single Committee on Claims of the House, has already bad nearly a thousand bills referred to it, and the Committee on Invalid Pensions is still worse oil'. It is said that there is not a standing committee of the House which has not more or les3 private business on its dendar. Among the bills provided for the relief of the Supreme Court one was introduced in the Senate by Mr. Pugh which proposes to divide tho Court into three divisions with three Justices in each, to be known as the Federal, Equity, and Admi rality Law divisions. These divi sions are empowered to set separate ly, and all cause are to be heard in the first instance by one of the divi sions, except causes in which a jury is required; theso are to be heard by the Court in banc. Mr. Cox, from the eommittee to audit the expenses grow ng out of the death and burial of tu late Presi dent James A. Garfield, reported a bill granting a pension of $.",000 a year to Mrs. Lucretia Garfield. Mr. Atkins, of Tenness id he would not object to thy ill, i.ut he thought that a similar measure should be adopted to pension the widow of any other President The bill was then passed. The sub-committee of the House Committee on Territories has agreed unanimously on a bill to provi ie for the admission into the Union of all that part of Dakota Territory south of the 4Cth parallell. A bill has been introduced to make the Bureau of Agriculture an Executive Department, placinz it on an equality with the Post Oilice Department, the Department of War, and the o'.her executive branches of the Government, that have a cabinet officer at their head. ine ciiKi 'oi tne liureau would then be a member of the Cabinet, with the title, perhaps, of Secretary of Agriculture. The representatives from non-agricultural statts have heretofore, opposed a bill of this character, on the ground that agri culture has no more right to Execu tive consideration than any other industrial interest, and one member some years ago, derisively proposed an amendment that the interest of boots and shoes should also have a place in the Cabinet But there is a growing sentiment in favor of adding this department to the Cabinet, and of following the precedents of other civilized nations in this respect The United States has only seven cabinet places. France has twelve, and I think the other first class Eu ropean powers have as many. C. A. S Why tho Parson left Kentucky, A good many years a certain place in Texas o, when a I was a very small town, quite a number of prom- i inent citizens went out on a hunting expedition. One night, when they were all gathered around the camp fire, one of the party suggested that each man should give the time and reason for his leaving his na tive State and coming to Texas, whereupon each one in turn told his experience. Judge Blank had killed a man in self-defense, in Ar kansas, Gen. Soandso had forged another man's signature to a check, while another came to Texas on ac count of having two wives. The only one who did not make any dis closure wa3 a sanctimonious looking old man, who, although a profes sional gambler, was usually called 'Parson.' "Well, Parson, why did you leave Kentucky?" "I don't care to say anything about it Besides it was only a trifle. None of you would believe it anyhow." Out with it Did you shoot any body ?" "No, gentlemen, I did not Since you want to know so bad I'll tell you. I left Kentucky because I did not build a church." Deep silence fell on the grouo. No such excuse for coming to Texas ever had Wen heard of r.of.i.- i There was eviden tly an unexpLia- he bottom of it wT mreturir nt tri 1-1 it. 1 . x . 1 ine rarson was caucu on 10 nir- nish more light "Well, gentlemen, you see a con-! gregation raised $.,(XM and turned ! it over to me to build a church j and I didn't build a church.

A Sioux Bill of Fur. One of peculiarities of th United State ftyle of feeding tlie noble red man is the tact that he L given government rations, ad at the rame time appropriations are made which are supposed to maintain him. Sometimes a wild Indian, who don't know much about groceries and how to prepare them lor td, comes in and draws hia regular sol dier rations in this way. For in stance, in the Sitting Bull country a short time ago, an Indian camein from the war path who has never seen any of tho pale-face style of food, and drew his rations. He made a light meal on un ground coffee und as he over-rate and the coffee swelled on him, he had difficulty in buttoning his pants around tho pain he had on hand. He felt very unhappy for a day or two but laid it to the fact that be hadn't exercised much, and the con sequent ennui and indigestion there from. As soon as he succeeded in get ting the interior department quieted down a little he tackled hia rations ot candies. These he decided to Car boil in order to avoid any trou lo from indigestion . The dish was not so much of a glittering suc cess as he had anticipated, audits he remorse lull- picked the canal wicking out of his teeth with a tent pin, he made souuo remark that grated harshly on the atithctic .ears of those who stood near. He then tried a meal of yent powder and vinegar. He ate the yeast powder and then took a pint of extremely potent vineear to wash it down. At first there was a feeling of glad surprise in rns stomach, wnicn ra pidly gave place to unayailing re morse. A can of yeast powder in an In dian's midst don't seem to be pre pared for a pint of vinegar, and the result of such an unfortunate .cir cumstance was not gratifying. Every little while a look of pain would pass over the feature of the noble child of the forest, and then he would jump about seventeen feet and try to kick a cloud out of the sky. Then he would sit down and think over his past life. It took about a week for him to get back to where he dared to get up another meal for himself. Then he fricassed a couple of pounds of laundry soap and ate that Soap is all right for external pur poses or treating a pair of soiled socks, but does not assimilate with the gastric juice redily, and those who tried laundry sgap as a relish do not seem to think that it will ever arrive at any degree of promi nence as an articfe of diet That is why this nntutored child of nature swore. He had never re ceived the benefits of early training in profanity, and his language, there fore, was disconnected and ramb ling ; but when we consider that he is ignorant of our language, and that every little while he had to stop and hold on to his digester with his hands and dig great holes in the earth with his toes, the re marks didn't seem altogether out of place or irrelevant lhe earnest and occupied look, the troubled enpression of the coun tenance, followed by tho quick ner vous twitching of the muscels of the face, and then swelling up and bursting cf the suspender button, the deep drawn sigh and the smoth ering cuss word, all betoken the gas tric agitation going on within. . This is why an Indian prefers a link of bologna sausage and a 2-year-old dog to the high priced groceries so common to onr modern civilization. What a Newspaper Dors for Nothing. The following article should f read and pondered well by every msn who takes a newspaper with out paying for it: ri.e result of my observation en i tae to rtatc as act, that pub-L.-hrs of newspapers are more poorly rewarded than any other class of men in the United States, who invests an equal amount of la bor, capital, and thought They are expected to do more service for less pay, to stind more sponging and dead-heading, to puff and defend more people without any fee or hope of reward than any other class. They credit wider and longer; get oftener cheated, suffer more pe cuniary loss ; and are oftener the victim of misplaced confidence, than any other calling in the community. People pay a printer's bill more reluctantly than any other.

How many rail roads, now in successful operation, would have foundered but for the assistance of "the lever that moves the world," in short, what branch of American industry or ac tivity has not been promoted, stim ulated and defended by the press ?
