The pronunciamentos of General Cham
berlain must bo very queer reading to the
people of Maine. They remind one of the
proclamations of General Martinez Catn-
pos when in Cuba or Pieroia in Peru. AVe
have been accustomed to reading those
Spanish-American documents with a com
placent feeling that we were not governed
by military dictators, but recent develop
ments in Maine show how easy is the tran
sition from republican to despotic govern
ment.
Tin* Georgia Convict System.
[New York Sun.]
According to Governor Joe Brown, the
Northern critics of the Georgia convict
system don’t know what they are talking
about. The Bade coal mines in which the
prisoners work, are no gloomier, he says,
than otfier coal miners; the chains worn
by the prisoners while at work are put on
them to prevent attempt at escape which
would involve the necessity of shooting or
perhaps killing them; they greatly prefer
working in the mines, even in chains, to
close confinement within the walls of a
prison; their lodgings are no worse than
those of coal miners usually are.
A Story of Henry Clay.
[Washington Letter to the Chicago Times.]
An old gentleman who has been very
prominent in politics for a great many
years is visiting in the city. He tells a very
good story on Mr. Clay. One day, during
President Monroe’s administration, Mr.
Clay was invited, with other friends of the
President, to dine at the White House. A
few days before some friends of Mr. Clay s,
living in Indiana, had sent him a bottle of
wine which had been made in that State.
Mr. Clay thought that he would take the
bottle of wine up to the White House and
have it opened at the table, and show the
guests how fast they were progressing in
the West. When the party was seated at
the table Mr. Clay told the servant to open
the bottle and serve some of the wine to
the guests. They all tasted of it and pro
nounced it very good, until it came to Air.
Monroe. “Well, Mr. President, what do
you think of it?” said Mr. Ciay. “Well,”
answered Air. Alonroe, “it is very good, but
it tastes to meexactiv like old Kentucky
whisky.” On investigation Air. Clay found
that his son Tom had, some days before,
emptied the bottle of the wine for his own
benefit and then had filled it up with Ken-
tuekv whisky.
A SONG OF NATIONS.
I sang my songs. Ye would not hear;
And yet I sang them sweet and clear;
I sang of joy, I sang of sorrow,
Of tears to-day and smiles to-morrow.
For you, my country, was my song; ..
You said I made them poor and long.
“Farewell, my native land; you’ll hear
No more my songs so sweet and clear;
Toother lands my bird goes winging,
And they shall hear its matchless singing;
And now my tuneful pipes shall be
Let looso upon fair Italy.”
“Italian skies, how fair! how fair!
How marked the perfume of the air!
Oh, lovely sunsets, dancing waters!
Ob, nightengales and dark-eye daughters!”
What! No acclaim burst on the air?”
To Spain I’ll hie; they need me there.
“My Spain awake! Recall the Cid;
Do o’er again the deed he did
Beside the blood-stained Guadalquiver,
And heave the tyraut In the river.”
“Who’s ho?” the Spaniard cries, nor
speaks
Again of aught save noisome leeks.
“Ho! thou dost need my cheering songs,
Land of Czar and land of wrongs.
Awake! awake! ’tis Freedom calls you;
To arms, e’er deeper ill befalls you 1”
Alas! they only turn about
And threaten with the gruesome knout.
Where shall I go?—for I must sing—
“Awake, ye lands! in armor spring,
Gird on your loins the sword bright gleam
ing,
And sit not so in slothful dreaming 1”
Alas! not e’en my warlike songs
Can rouse the nations to their wrongs.
Lo! day is dawning in the East
For Yucatan—she’ll hear at least 1
“Rise in thy might, O Yucatan !
And smite thy deadliest foe, Japan;
Glitter in arms the lands along
And do some credit to my song!”
Celebrating
Miss Iseliifs Entrance Into So
ciety.
[New York Star.]
One of the largest and most brilliant
Germans of the fashionable season was
given last night by Airs. Adrian Iselin, in
her residence, at No. 23 East Twenty-sixth
street, in honor of the entrance of her
youngest daughter. Miss Iselin, into socie
ty. Invitations to the number of about 490
had been accepted, and but for the ample
spaces of Twenty-sixth street mansion the
affair must have proved a fashionable
crush. A partition composed of palms and
ferns, banked witn vases of exotics, divided
the main hall into a vestibule and rear
apartment, in which latter, hidden from the
guests by masses of flowers ami foliage,
was stationed a band of several pieces led
by Lander. The arrival of the guests com
menced about 10 o’clock, from 9 to 12 hav
ing been prescribed in the invitaions, and
from chat hour until midnight carriage
after carriage, freighted with the most
brilliant toilets imaginable, deposited its
burden at tiie entrance and rolled away.
At 12 o’clock dinner was served under the
supervision of Pinard, and at 12:30 Col.
Delaney Kane, son-in-law of Airs. Iselin
led, with Aliss Iselin, in the German. Half
an hour later the scene int lie ball-room, in
the middle of the largo double house, was
one of the most brilliant pageants of beauty
and fashion that have been witnessed this
season. The^ivors for the German were
composed of beautiful baskets of ilowers,
tied with different colored ribbons.
A TRAGEDIAN AT DINNER.
The Cincinnati Times says that the fol
lowing scene ensued a few days ago at the
Burnet House, in that city, between the
celebrated tragedian Lawrence Barret and
a waiter:
Enter obsequious waiter. Rattles dishes
and shcH'ts bill of fare at the great histrion
in the customary style.
Waiter—Soup, sir?
Great Histrion—Ay, bring it me,
Aud likewise fish, whose name
Is but a synonym for azure depths
And then haste procure for me a modicum
of beef.
Waiter—Rare or well done?
G. H.—Let not the fires its carmine hue
too much embrown, v
Nor from it let the bright ted blood too
freely How. .
Just done enough, my palate pleases best.
Bring, too, the esculent endeared to sons
of crushed Hibernia,
And with it, apples of Jerusalem stewed,
And “Beacon street berries,” that the vul
gar name as beans.
And when thou hast this charge fulfilled,
Bring me for desert tiiat mysterious thing
That puzzled England’s King;
W hose bothered brain could ne’er surmise
Just how the apple in the dough was put.
Then let me have a dark decoction
Of that brown berry tiiat the Arab loves.
Now, menial hireling, haste thy tardy
limbs,
For hungered am I, and the craving which
my inward feels
Alustsoon be satisfied.
WITHOUT USELESS WORDS.
The most striking example of brevity on
record is related of Andrew Rhorer, of
Louisville; one of the most respected citi
zens of that city, aged 70 years. He had
long been the cashier of the Louisville Sav
ings Bank. One night last week while a
committee of the Board of Directors was
examining the books a member said to Air.
Rhorer, “Now, we will examine your ac
counts.”
The cashier took up his peu and wrote:
“Deficit, $07,00o.” Then, without another
word; he left the room and started for the
police station to give himseif up, but was
followed and given into the custody of an
officer. It does not appear that there was
any suspicion of a defalcation, but tiie de
ficit was found to be that stated by tiie
cashier. The bank, which numbers among
its stockholders several of the best known
professional and business men in town,
promises to make good the deficiency, and
the depositors will not suffer loss. The sur
prise over Rhorer’s fall is general in the
city. He probably lost the money in real
estate speculations.
Guilty of Wrong.
Some people have a fashion of confusing
excellent remedies with the large mass of
“patent medicines,” and in this they are
guilty of a wrong. There are some adver
tised remedies fully worth all that is asked
for them and one at least we know of—Hop
Bitters. Tiie writer has had occasion to
use tiie Bitters in just such a climate as we
have most of the year in Bay City, and has
always found them to be first-class and re
liable, doing all that is claimed for them.—

KINDNESS AND ITS REWARD.
Alice sat in front of the little table, wash
ing the breakfast dishes, a bright-haired
girl, with large, wistful eyes, whom you
would never suspect to bo a cripple until
you saw that sho was seated on a wheeled
chair by means of which she propelled
herself back and forth.
Yet, although she herself was the only
servant of the establishment, the floor, was
daintily dean, the windows shone like
sheeted diamonds and the curtains were
white and neatly darned.
For little Alice, at eighteen, was a born
housekeeper, and took as much delight, in
the details cf her homely, domestic life as
if site had been a child playing with a
doll’s house instead of Aloses Haywood’s
crippled daughter.
“It is puzzling sometimes,” said Alice,
wrinkling her pretty brown brows over
the housekeeper’s book; “because tiiere’s
only just so much money and the expenses
have got to be met; and if you get the least
little bit in debt, there it is, banging around
your neek like a millstone to the end of
the year. But then, again, if there weren’t
any difficulties in this style of housekeep
ing, where would be the credit?”
And then Alice would shake her bright
brown braids bite the end of her pencil and
begin again with the troublesome array of
figures.
But upon this particular day the color
burned more feverishly than ever in her
cheek; the teacups clinked nervously to
gether as she rinsed them.
But Moses Haywood, a white-haired pre
maturely old man sat over his “classical
dictionary” at the other end of the room
and only amiled quietly.
“Fifty pounds,” said Alice. “Its a deni
of money, father dear, and you’ve been
years saving it up.”
“But wlmt is money worth, my Alice, if
we can’t use it to help our fellow creatures.”
“But fathei I dare say Mr. Watkins is.
richer than you are.”
“He is my wife’s cousin, Alice, and is
sore in need.”
“I can’t believe, said Alice, he needs it as
much as we do.”
Alice was charitable in her heart, but she
could but regret to see her father envelop
tiie fifty pounds and address to Air. W.
Watkins, especially as there would be no
chance then, for her father to get the books
he needed, and the new dress promised her
and the carpet for the setting room, and
various other tilings would have to lie
given up for the present, perhaps, for a
time. Shedding a few unconscious tears
she turned with a sigh to her accustomed
work.
* * « « * *
Air. Watkins received by post a bundle
of letters and took a seat in his back par
lor to open them. By a fortunate turn in
a large speculation, lie had recently re
ceived an unexpected and large sum of
money. In bad health, and feeling con
scious that his end was near, and having
no children, his mind turned upon the
question of the disposition he should make
of his suddenly acquired fortune.
One of his relatives sent him a tract,
“Return ye Sinners,” recommended a
course of prayer meetings and regretted
he could give nothing but good advice.
Another, tiie wife of a prosperous mer
chant, feared that he had come to want by
dissipation, or speculation, and declined to
give anything which might be lost in the
same way. Another recommended him to
take refuge in some charitablo institution,
but proffered no assistance. One asked
him if he thought he had no use for his
money but to give it away to paupers. The
others, all but one, showed indifference and
proffered no aid. To his surprise when he
brokcTthis seal of Air. Haywood's letter out
fell a post-office order for fifty pounds.
“My dear cousin Watkins,” wrote the
school-master. “I grieve deeply to hear of
your financial distress, and hereby inclose
alj I have on hand. It is not much—but I
beg of you to accept it in the same spirit in
which it is given."
Old Walter Watkins brushed his wrinkled
hand across his shaggy brows.
“The poorest, most obscure of them all,”
said lie. “Tiie one of whom I expected the
least. Well, well, wonders will never
cease.”
And taking up his pen he wrote back
briefly:
Cousin Haywood : I thank you.
W. Watkins.
* * * * * *
“Father, are you sure you’re well enough
to go back into school?”
Alice had drawn up her wheeled chair
close to the lounge on which old Aloses had
dragged himself into a sitting posture.
“Yes, child, yes,” he said, drawing his
hand vaguely across his forehead?” “I
must be well enough 1 The children’s par
ents are getting impatient. I shall lose my
scholars if I don’t go back into harness to
day.
“Father, father,” cried poor Alice, pite
ously, “if we had but that money you sav
ed up so long and painfully—that money
you gave to old Mr. Watkins—it would
have brought you health, strengtli and re
pose now.’’
“My daughter,” said the old man, mild
ly, “all that is past considering now. And
remember, he that glveth to the poor lend-
eth to the Lord.”
He was in the school that mornfng try
ing to accustom his whirling head to the
clamorous voices of the little ones when
there came a loud rap at the door and a
well-dressed, bluff-looking stranger walk
ed in and looked unceremoniously around
him.
“Is this Moses Haywood the schoolmas
ter?” asked he, with outstretched hand.
“That is my name, sir,” said the old
man.
“I congratulate you," cried the bluff
i stranger, nearly wringing poor Aloses’s
hand off.
| “Sir 1” said the schoolmaster.
“You’re a rich man 1” roared the stran-
i ger.
I* “I—I think I must be dreaming”’ said
: Moses, putting his hand to his head,
j “Not a bit of it,” said the stranger; “not
ajjitofit. It’s your wife’s cousin, Walter
j Watkins, of”
“Yes,” said Aloses Haywood. “I remem
ber now—I lent him fifty pounds; I sup
pose he has sent you to return it?”
“Fifty pounds,” echoed the stranger.
“It’s fifty thousand 1 He is dead—and lias
willed you all his money. Pretty good
interest on fifty pounds for a year, eh?
But my client was always eccentric. There’s
a string of names down in his will for 19
shillings each, because, as he states, they
wouldn’t lend him as much as that when
he asked for it—a lot of cousins, you know
—and it’s ail left you as the only one who
responded genially to his call. I say, sir,”
with another overpowering shake of the
hand, “I congratulate you, with all my
heart 1”
And tiie autumn-tide of Aloses Haywood’s
life is passed in the sunshine of wealth and
prosperity, and Alice has her hot-houses,
her aviary and her books.
“Father,” she says, softly, with her cheek
against his wrinkled hand, “you were
right, after all, and I was wrong. Kind
ness is sure to find its reward.

gether lived like a veritable Monte Cristo.
Unluckily, lie had an apopletic fit, and
couldn’t consequently make provision (by
borrowing from Peter to pay Paul in his
usual wav,) for meeting some bills which
fell due, and finally absconded to parts un
known, owing bibulous sums. His cheek
was simply sublime.
Every one on Broadway during the last
few days has probably stopped to look at
a brigade of one-horse street-sweepers and
mud-plows which Capt. Williams (ex-Club-
ber) lias organized to brush off the slush
while wet, on the European plan. His pre
decessors were accustomed to observe sar
castically that in Europe, or England, at
any rate, there never w&s fine weather
enough at a time to let the mud dry, and
they preferred to let the streets severely
alone when it rained, or snowed, or thaw
ed, unless some big funeral gave them cn
opportunity to clear up the route for the
procession.
When it was very dry, decrepit old men
(with votes) used leisurely to pile up heaps
of liilii to wait for carts (which never came)
to remove them. When the heaps were
made, they remained till the wind blew
them down again, or rain reduced them
again to mud. On Williams’s plan some of
the stuff is really got rid of. Improve
ments in it are desirable, for although
Broadway is swept in the middle as clean
as the lloor of a Hollander’s kitchen, broad
canals of very liquid slime extending some
feet from ihe curb are terribly detrimen
tal to pantaloons and skirts.

ABOUT WOMEN OF TWENTY-FIVE.
From our own Correspondent-
New Yokk, Jan. 16th, 1380.
Frank Leslie is dead—-and regretted.
Perhaps the most American of publishers,
in the senseof patriotically catching every
thing interesting to our people on the wing
and giving it full prominence in his publi
cations, lie was by birth an Englishman,
and iiis name was Harry Carter. An artist
by instinct, with keen literary perception
superadded, he naturally gratified his bent
by contributing to tiie papers, but his
friends objecting to it he assumed the
noni de plume of Frank Leslie, which, aft
er arriving here, he formally adopted, anil
the change was sanctioned by an act of
Legislature. His career was phenomenal.
A simple list of the numerous periodi
cals he conducted with such signal abili
ty would take considerable space. That
financial difficulties overcame him in his
later years was a misfortune lie shared
with many other men of prominence, but
his pluck was unabated, aud hail he lived
a little longer he would have been clear of
the harrassing interference of his creditors’
committee, whose annoyances, it is charg
ed, hastened his death. His collection of
woodcuts, accumulated during his long
and industrious business lifetime, amount
ed to over a million, and cost for the draw

Tiie man who meets and loves tho woman
of twenty-five is truly fortunate, and she
is equally fortunate in meeting and loving
him, says a writer in a feminine journal.
At that age she seldom 'deceives. She may
not have, she is not likely to have then her
first sentimental experience; but such ex
perience at such an age is more than sen
timental anil rarely ever fleeting.
She looks back at the youths she imagined
she was enamored of btween sixteen or
eighteen, or often twenty-two, and they are
more than indifferent or repellant to her—
they are ridiculous, and in some sort she,
as she then was is ridiculous to herself. She
cannot but bo grateful to her destiny that
her sympathies and affections have been re
served for a worthy object and a higher-
end.
At twenty-fi ve, if ever, a woman knows and
estimates liersolf. She is less liable to emo
tional or mental mistakes, she is far more
Sure of her fortune because sho feels that
her fate is, to a certain extent within her
own hands. Not only is she lovelier and
more lovable, broader and stronger than
she has been, but her wedded happiness
and powers of endurance are in a manner
guaranteed.

The difference between a woman and an

boy of Ids playmate, whom he saw coining
out of tho house with tears in his eyes.
“I've been chasin’ a birch-rod ’round my

I would not wear the warrior’s wreath,
I would not court his crown;
For love and virtue sink lieneath
His dark and vengeful frown.
I would not seek my fame to build
On glory’s dizzy height;
Her temple is with orpiians filled;
Blood soils her sceptre bright.
I would not wear the diadem.
By folly prized so dear,
For want and wo have bought each gem.
And every pearl’s a tear.
I would not heap t he golden chest.

For every gain—by penury cursed—
Is gathered from the grave.
No; let my wreath unsulied be;
Aly fame bo virtuous youth ;
My wealth and kindness, charity;
My diadem be truth.
AN ARTISTIC WEDDING IN LONDON.
THE DAUGHTER OF MILLAIS AND NIECE OF
MBS. LESTER WALLACE MARRIES A
ZULULAND HERO.
This is a dangerous period or tho year for
colds—people should be careful—Mrs. Par
tington says she has got a romantic affection
in her shoulders, the neurology in her head,
and the embargo in the region of jocular in
all from opening tiie window, to
throw a buttle at v. couple of be-ligorent
cats on the shed.
A great deal of fun has been poked at wo
men for looking under the bed as a last act
before retiring, and it has been supposed
that the habit was a silly and altogether
useless one. But a Mrs. Mastin, of Dallas,
Tex., has personal knowledge to the con
trary. The Herald, of that place, says:
scrub-woman who polished the floors of tho “Airs. Mastin went to her room to retire,
new and magnificent building in Park Place,
were devoted to him. He was married
twice, his sccontl wife, to whom he was
fondly attached, being the sole legatee of
his large fortune. The funeral was quiet
enough, but among the hushed throng of
mourners were many of the foremost citi
zens in this country, men distinguished
by learning, dignity, wisdom and genius.
As a pleasing instance in point of our
present prosperity, I may just remark that
on Tuesday last Unclo Bam took in $993,-
000 (only $7,000 less than a million) at the
New York Custom House. Oi this sum
$730,000 was iu gold coin, weighing about a
ton and a quarter.

Fair in 1SS3 are likely to be begun shortly.
Two rival organizations have consolidated
in the most amicable fashion, and at a pre
liminary meeting under the chairmanship
of President Jewett of the Erie Railroad,
considerable enthusiasm was manifested.
The appropriateness of the date selected,
being the centennial anniversary of tho ac
knowledgment of American independence
by Great Britain, and tho place, New York
being the last portion of our soil evacuated
by hostile foreign troops, was dwelt on
with effect.
It is queer what coincidences occur every
now and then to strengthen the notions of
spiritualists about presentiments and ail
that sort of thing. A few days ago a Brook
lyn paper, by way of a sensation had some
articles and interviews about what might
happen if a ferryboat pilot Were to die sud
denly. Of course, in such an event the con
sequences might be awful. The East river
is a very crowded watery highway, full of
remarkably swift, intricate and ever vary
ing currents and eddies, and the ferryboats
are during several hours of every week day
packed like sardine boxes. The companies
have for years been very fortunate, tiie few
lives of passengers which have been lost
having been sacrificed by their own impru- j
ilence in trying to Itind, or embark while j
the boats were in motion, or else by sui- j
cide. The officials pooh-poohed all idea oi
danger and economically declined to go to !
the expense of keeping two pilots at the j
wheel of their boats all tho time. However,
one day, a tugboat was obsei ved careering
wildly about the stream, puzzling the con
ductors of all the other craft in the vicini
ty as to how they should get out of the
way. The pilot had fallen in a fit. Next
morning early the pilot of one of the Ful
ton ferryboats fell dead while the boat was
in the slip, narrowly escaping a terrible
calamity, for the boat was jammed to suffo
cation, with workingmen aud women and
tiie river was thronged with other vessels.
The directors promptly doubled up their
force of pilots. In the same afternoon, two
ferryboats collided and one sunk in a few
moments afterward. No lives were lost
luckily.
The defalcators have been having a high
old time of it. Finding them out seems a
catching complaint. J. Lloyd Haigh, the
wire-rope man, whoso rascalities I men
tioned in my [last, was quickly follow
ed on the roll of infamy by Treasurer Bo
gart of tiie Produce Exchange, who was
discovered to have embezzled tiie funds of
that body, to have swindled every one else,
and to have over-issued a Lumber of Bergen
Co. (N. J.[bonds while holding prominent
office there. He committed suicide. The
Masons buried him. Tho last gentleman
who lived by his wits (and he lias plenty
for them) to be found out is Air. John C.
Freund, an able but unscrupulous writer,
with a gift of talking the shrewdest busi
ness men out of solid hard cash. He has
been here but a few years and succeeded
in wrecking the Arcadian, once a reputable
literary jourtiiii, and then a trade paper
whicli he secured control of within a year.
He was then penniless, but somehow man
aged to start ^a music paper, and having
got on the right side of the piano people,
proceeded to make himself comfortable.
He furnished most superb offices in Union
Square, with private sitting rooms and
bedrooms that would enchant an empress,
bought a house in Tarrytown for $40,000,
so they say, improved it at fi cost of $85,-
000, drove his carriage and pair, laid on gas
by a private pipe from the mains a mile dis
tant, at a cost of thousands of dollars, built
a new road to his mansion which stood him
(or his dupes) in several thousand nidre,
gave remarkable dinners to select people,
with tho choicest tonics to wash them
but, woman-like, she looked under her bed,
and though she hail oftentimes done so be
fore, it was well that sho did so then, for
there underneath lay curled up a man.”
What followed can thus be condensed:
Airs. Alastin screamed, the man came out
and ran, and a neighbor came and fired his
| gun. No one hurt and no onecaught. But
I the theory that it is necessary for a woman
I to look under the bed is established.

A Visit on a Rainy Day.—'“Why,” said
tiie beau, “you are neither sugar nor salt,
rain will not hurt you.’ ‘No, but we are
lasses,’ said the lady. The gentleman sent
for an umbrella immediately.
An advertisement respectfully informs
“the oyster community of New England,”
of a certain fact. This is a community of
which we have never before heard, but we
should judge it to be a community very
likely to get into a stew, or to be in a broil
all the time.
An Increase of Barkeepers.—Someone
insinuated something when he said that the
elevator force of the Palac-e Hotel at San
Francisco was increased to the number of
four assistant Barkeepers during the stay
there of General Grant and his party.—
Some allowance should be made for the
friends of tho Presidential party.
An Editor.—A little boy who often heard
his father, who was an editor, complain of
the hard Work lie had to do and the neglect
of subscribers to pay for their papers, one
day said to him : “Pa, wasn’t Job an edi
tor?” “Why, Sammy?” “Becausethe Bible
says that he hail much trouble, and was a
man of sorrow all the days of his life.”
A clergyman told his hearers on Sunday
that if-they would propose a text for him
to preach upon, he would do them much
more good than by selecting his own. After
waiting awhile for some answer, a young
man in the back part of the house arose and
said —
“You know we read in the Bible that Ne
buchadnezzar ate grass.’
“Certainly—what do you wish to have ex
plained in regard to that passage?”
“Oh,’ said the fellow, “I kinder want to
knowhow much they axed him a week for
pasture.’
A CUXY1NG IMPOSITION.
The Drunkard ' Mechanical Salvation Appar
atus and llow it Works.
A respectable-looking man walked rapid
ly Saturday through a street running west
ward from the City Hall Park, and pausing
for a moment before a marble building
which bore among other signs that of the
“Cosmopolitan Temperance Association,"
ran lightly up the stairs without glancing
at the warning notice, “No beggars, ped
dlers or book agents allowed in this build
ing,” and entered the rooms of the C. T, A.
His eyes swept the apartment with an in
stinct born of experience, and then, ap
proaching a middle-aged man sitting at a
desk in an inner room, tho stranger drew
towards the desk a chair littered with pam
phlets and newspapers, and taking a seat
said in a husky voice:
“General manager, s’pose?”
“Yes, sir,’ said the manager of the al
leged C. T. A. “What can I do for you?”
“Important temperance matters. Labor
ed in cause years. Highway and byways,
rostrum and pulpit. Voice failed, obliged
give up lecturing. Take other moans help
ing along great cause. Can aid your asso
ciation wonderfully if assured encourage
ment.”
“Well, I don’t know,’’ said the manager,
doubtfully, “weare very wellorganizecUust
now. Still, if there is anything specially
worthy about any plan you might have”—
“Worthy!” exclaimed the stranger, re
proachfully, “more than worthy. Worth
money, too, as well as great adjunct to
cause. Simple mechanical device, sir.”
“Oh,” said the manager, petulantly, tak
ing up his pen, “we depend entirely upon
moral suasion.”
“Nothing immoral ’bout this, sir,” said
the stranger, rising but still persisting.
“True, little innocent deception. Look here.
I pick up this paper weight. Hold it firmly.
Lay it down. Very simple. Look again.
I do something tosometliing with left hand
inside coat pocket. Pick up paper weight
again but drop it. Can’t raise it mor’n inch.
See?”
The manager intimated that he saw but
did not comprehend.
“Apparatus ior mechanical cure drunk
enness. Fine wires. Arrange it in man’s
coat. Man goes into liquor store. Orders
cocktail, uiilk-punch, ginger fizz, whiskey-
sour, John C Jliiis masked battery what not.
Takes glass. Drops from nerveless hand.
Glass breaks, bartender’s shirt front spoil
ed, man fired out. Man cries “snakes.”
Goes home. Sick. Reforms. Never drinks
again. Cure costs wife or family $5. Ap
paratus manufactured for 35 cents.”
“That is certainly novel and amusing if
nothing more,” said the manager.
“My own invention,” continued (lie re
former. “Tried it on hundreds. Never
failed. New crusade organized out West.
Tailors secret members of organization.
Sell them my ‘Drunkard’s Mechanical Sal
vation Apparatus!’ They put in coats.—
Families pay tailor extra $5 privately.—
Three gin mills closed in two davs.”
“Indeed!” exclaimed the manager.
“Try it yourself,” said the reformer. See,
no humbug. I wear it for illustration, one
side only—right—so I can work it with left
hand.”
As he said this lie produced from one of
his pockets a small round box, out of which,
when he laid removed the cover, sprang a
mass of glittering fine wire.
“Now,” said the new apostle of temper
ance, “take off coat please; show you how
it works.”
The manager removed his coat and his
new friend politely offered to hold it for
him. In a minute or two the apparatus
was arranged anil the manager put on his
coat.
“Wouldn’t know there was anything in
your coat would you?” aski>d the man.
“No, really, I would not.”
“Try to pick up paper weight,” said the
glibtongued reformer.
The manager tried, first with one hand
and then with the other, but it dropped
each time before he could lift it clear from
the desk.
“Try to put hands iu breast poeket of
coat.”
The manager ••juldn’t do it.
“Now, see,” said the reformer, “can order
liquor, but can’t drink it or pay for it. If
you were drunkard now, you’d think had
shakes wouldn’t you?”
“I should reaily think something was
wrong alKiut ’em. Your apparatus is au
ingenious one and deserves a trial.”
“You may keep it,” said the reformer.
“Show it to friends. “Get ’em interested i
in it. Call around in day or two and see if :
we can’t do something together. Good- j
day.”
A minute later tiie apostle was speeding
up-town on the elevated railroad and ex- |
amining the contents of a large pocket- i
l look.
“Not a had haul,” said he, as lie rose to ;
get out at the Bleecker strict station.— |
[London World, December 3.]
“Radiant with happiness were Millais
and his daughter Effie Grey as they came
up the aisle ot St. Peter's last Friday
morning, the twenty-first birthday of the
bride. Passing along amid friendly faces,
the father, without the smallest misgiving,
handed over his daughter to Lieutenant
James, one of the heroes of Ulundi, to be
loved and cherished till death should them
part. To a family so united and affection
ate as the Millais a marriage conveyed no
idea of parting: on the contrary, it was
simply the addition of a new member to
the group—one in every way worthy of
their confidence, on whom they were con
ferring tiie right to love and honor their
daughter. Thus gayly, even merrity, the
wedding procession fell in before His Grace
the Archbishop of York and the Hon. Mr.
Byng. Six young maidens followed tiie
bride, the list two of whom were the most
diminutive bridesmaids ever brought to
their little knees before an altar. They
were array oil in white satin, with ruby-
colored velvet trimmings and hats to
to match. The bride’s dress was white sa
tin, richly trimmed with old Venetian
point, consistently with which the veil was
of plain tule. She wore in her hair the
three magnificent diamond stars present
ed to her by Sir Henry James, M. P., no re
lation, but an old friend of the family. On
her neck hung the diamond pendant given
by her mother-in-law, Lady James. The
bride-groom looked not less cheerful than
the bride. His father, the Lord Justice,
while beaming on the world, no doubt
found his thoughts occasionally wandering
from the present gay seenee, where his
son was surrounded by everything sug
gestive of life, to that far other and still
recent scene on the battle-field in Zululand,
with not a little sense of thankfulness for
his safety. Instead of the conventional
breakfast a ball was given in the evening.
From the marble fountain on the staircase
to tho lofty studio, boudoir, ill awing-room,
supper-room and back to the fountain
again, all was beautiful. In a deep recess,
witli background of rod Genoese velvet,
stands Michael Angelo’s statue of Loda
and tiie Swan. A mysterious light tails on
it from a lamp above. The divan encircling
this gem of Roman art is the favorite haunt
for stray couples, and not less beautiful
than the cold antique were the living groups
below. Flowers were in gteat profusion;
Mr. Henry Irving sent in some hampers
full the night before, and from many parts
of France they came pouring in. The dec
orations of the wedding cake were of real
white Ilowers, even to the ‘tracery,’ which
was exquisitely minute. It was delightful
to see the keen appreciation shown by Mil
lais for the kindness of those friends who
came forward to do honor to the occasion.
For the most part celebrities to the world,
here they were the natural domestic inti
mates of the well-loved R. A. Warm of
heart himseif, the manifest affection in
which he and his are held by persons of all
ranks, touched him deeply. The presents
numbered about three hundred, many cost
ly, all in good taste; taken collectively no
mean expression of the respect and esteem
in which two families are held.”
SOME INCIDENTS OF THE WEDDING.
Among the minor episodes of the wed
ding ceremony were the unaccountable
modesty of Mr. William Black and the
somewhat indfecorous, not to say ill-man
nered, character of tne notice bestowed on
and not wholly enjoyed by Mrs. Langtry.
Mr. Black is of an imposing presence. He
has to a great extent lost the accent of the
Saut-market. It is our misfortune, rather
than his fault pei haps, that he lias been
guilty of some novels, and altogether
there seemed no adequate reason for his
herculean efforts to plunge himself into ob
scurity. It may be mildly remarked that
the seats in St. Peter’s Church were obvi
ously intended for quite another use than
to be employed as elevated perches for peo
ple to ascend, in order that from such coigns
of vantage they might gaze with flagrant
curiosity on a wholly inoffensive private
gentlewoman who had come on the like er
rand with themselves.
I live now in hope to witness the early
discomforture of that ghastly and spas
modic infliction, the wedding breakfast.—
The Millais have courageously laid the axe
to the root of |that preposterous tree, which
I trust will soeediiy utterly cease to cum
ber our social ground. It was a charming
substitute they tendered for it—a ball that
sparkled with a brilliancy of quite excep
tional radiance. It was a field-night of
what lias come to be called “professional
beauties.” All the rival queens were in the
arena: and some dispassionately critical
and impartial observers had ample confirm
ation of tiie view they have consistently
held, tiiat there exists much greater and
sweeter beauty outside than inside the pale
of the conventional and accepted beauties.
Prettiot roses lurto under the foliage of
private life than the blooms that flaunt the
sun anil challenge admiration as if it were
their right. Still the universally recog
nized beauties were charming; Mrs. Lang-
tt y, in palest possible pink, trimmed with
black, looking immensely well; Mrs. C.
West, with a bouquet like a 5 o’clock tea-
table, quite the biggest I ever saw: Mrs.
Wheeler. Mrs. Mackintosh and Lady Wal
ter Campbell, perhaps the handsomest of
all.
Mr. Millais’s studio was turned into a
ball-room, and it must be admitted that a
beautiful studio makes a delightful ball
room. Till long after midnight the rooms
were too crowded for much dancing; but,
indeed, in a throng so varied, so composed
or notabilities of every kind, so brilliantly
kaleidoscopic in its many-sided pictures
queness, it must have been felt by most
that it was a waste of time to dance. You
may dance any night. Not twice in a life-
j time will you see so noteworthy an assem-
j blagc as that which thronged Mrs. Mil-
! iais’s reception rooms on the night of Fri-
j day las’.
i Nor is given to many men the good for-
; tune to slay a brace of Zulus ipso manu,
with point to the right and “long drawing
; cut” to the left, and to marry a charming
. ami beautiful girl within the same half-
! yenr. As I looked at Willie James as he
j stood smilingly reconnoiteringjthe church-
; door, I could not refrain from the reflection
what trifles intervene between happiness
and misery.
Hail that assegai which the stalwart
Zuid wielded with such pith struck the lad’s
breast anywhere save on that one spot, the
size of a crown-piece, that was guarded by
the silver ornament on the pouchbelt.agal-
iant heart would have been transfixed and
the fair bride «*r to-(lay would have Been In

honest convictions, whether sound or mistaken,

telling the truth to its friends and about its
friends whenever occasion arises for plain speak
ing.
These are the principles upon which The Sun
will be conducted during the year to come.
The year 1880 will be one in which no patriotic
American can afford to close liis eyes to public af
fairs. It Is impossible to exaggerate the impor
tance of the political events which it has in store,
or the necessity of resolute vigilance on tho part
of every citizen who desires to preserve the Gov
ernment that the founders gave us. The debates
and acts of Congress, the utterances of the press,
the exciting contests of the Republicans and
Democratic parties, now nearly equal in strength
throughout the country, the varying drift of pub
lic sentiment, will all bear directly and effective
ly upon the twenty-fourth Presidential election,
tribe held in November. Four years ago next
November the will of the nation, as expressed at
the polls, was thwarted by an abominable con
spiracy. the promoters and beneficiaries of wh ich
still hold the offices they stole. Will the crime of
1876 be repeated in 1880r The past decade of years
opened with a corrupt, extravagant, and inso
lent Administration intrenched at Washington.
The Sun did something towards dislodging tin-
gang and breaking its power. The same men are
now intriguing to restore their leader and them
selves to places front which they were driven by
the indignation of the people. Will they succeed-
The coming year will bring the answers to these
momentous questions. The Sun will lie on hand
to chronicle the facts as they are developed, and
to exhibit them clearly ami fearlessly in their re
lations to expediency and right.
Thus, with a habit of philosophical good hnmor
in looking at the minor affairs of life, and in
great things a steadfast purpose to maintain the
rights of the people and the principles of the Con
stitution against all aggressors, The Sun is pro
pared to write a truthful, instructive, ami at the
same time entertaining history of isso.
