It would take a very knotty question
to pnule this branob of tbe national

The republican senators, It is al

ment ol Dorman B. Eaton to be a
commissioner of ilie oivll service
Tbls Is not a n alter of grea' in' men),

appointed for but a short term, to
serve until tbe Dew members of the
commission btcume acquainted with
the mrchi' e:y of the ■ lH:e.
It Is believed to be an established
faot Ibal Qtadslone fully adheres to
the policy of Irish borne rule, and
that be has a definite tchcme ready
for tbe p.oier occasion. It Is furtber
alleged ibat the final reports glvi n
out of this fchrme were Intended as
feelers by which (be temper o< the
countrj migfa be aerertalned. They
teem lo have dene tbeir work well
aa the txoittment created baa hardly
been rqualed in modern England.
Fires in Georgia and Alabama
are of d etreseirg fnquency Just at
tbla period. A large portion of the
little town of H'gaoeville was con
sumed by tbe flames Tuesday, and
on tbe same day (be round bouse of
the East Tenneasee, Virginia and
Georgia railroad at Seims, A'a, was
destroyed. Serious oor fl .gratloDs
are reported daily, and some meas-
urea should be adopted to check this
wholesale destruction of property.
Extreme carelrsanrsp must prevail,
or tbe country is I. fisted with num
berless Incendiaries, and it doea seem
that a dose Inves ‘galon would oer*
talnly locate tbe origin of the fire in
at least a majority ol cases. If It Is
developed that cl e'eeauesa is tbe
cause, then <he Insurance men should
take measures to proteot themselves.
If tbe fires are tbe work ol incen
diaries, then no i Sorts should be
spared to bring tbe offenders to )us
tioe, and then let tbe law be meted
out to them with an ui flinching
band.
therefore, believing that be Interest
of tbe public should be paramount,
arrested tbe aooordiou player them,
selves, and proceeded to punish him.
The punishment was unquestion
ably a severe one. The strongest if
the young nun i ’ayed the acc irdlon,
while tbe otners compelled their vic
tim to da; os. Fir half an hour that
unhappy being dar oed to the tune ol
"Sweei Violets." Tbe effect of tl e
accordion upon bis nerves was as
terrible aa H would have been upon
the nerves of au Innocent man, for li
Is a well known fact f a’, al'bougn
au accordion player docs not suffer
while in the ant ol playing, he suf
fers us acutely as any other man
when be is compelled to listen to
the playing of another accordion
player. Not only Were the wreioh’s
nerves laoerated by "Bveei Violets,"
but bis legs, whioh were attenuated
by long Indulgence In accordions,
were completely exhausted by the
labor of dsnoing, and when the
avengers released him and permitted
him to limp borne be was a pitiable
objeot.
It la painful to learn that the three
avengers were afterward, on tbe com
plaint of their victim, arrested and
fined. The court, however, bad no
option in the matter. Tbe eondact
of tbe yoang men, though noble
was nevertheless technically Ille
gal, and tbe oonrt was compelled to
punish them in accordance with tbe
statute. Tbe duty ol tbe public In
Ibis matter is, however, very differ
ent from tbe duty of a court. There
can be no question tbat tbe avengers
aoted from the loftiest and holiest of
motives. Tbat their public spirited,
though illegal, conduct should be
recogi/sed in some conspicuous way
ui for example t.y a public dinner, no
light minded man can doubt. They
have struck a lasting blow at the
crime of acoordtoD playing, and a
service such as tbls can hardly be
overestimated.

Notwithstanding Mr Glad
stone^ very rcoeut tempor'ileg on
tbe subj ot, the oonvletlon prevails
In England tbat he means to crown
hts career by catrylug through par
liament an Irish measure wbiob will
be acceptable to Mr Parnell. But
two prominent liberal papers, tbe
London News and tbe Scotsman,
support the scheme which, it is rep
resented, Mr Gladstone l a* formu
lated, while a great number of that
party’s organs either denounoe it out-
right or withhold thelropiulons. Tbe
Spectator utterly oondetnrs the Idea
of an Irish parllamen'; thinks it will
lead to lepatatloc; entreats Mr Glad
stone to reconsider bis resolution,
and warns him tbat tbe great portion
of the liberal party will refuse to fol
low him. Tbe Times reiterates its
, belief that the measure will lead to
secession. Ti e Psrnelllte organs hall
Gladstone as an ally, and the result
ot the whole matter le tbat England
Is In a very high state i f political ex
oltement.
A Iraki- Aa(.
Not long ago a young man was on
>hls way home at a late hour in the
evening carrying an acoordion. He
was met by thrae public-spirited
youog men, who at a glance recog-,
nized him os an habitual and reck
less accordion player. We all know
what these young men should have
done- They should have gono at
once to the nearest police atatioD,
notified tbe sergeant in charge that
they had met aa accordion player,
and left the matter in the hands of
the police. They knew, however,
that la the meantime the criminal
would doubtless eeoape, and they
■•W Ik Ae-kklklBtk.
There are two klrds ol accumula
tion, very different in their nature
an d results. Tbe one consists of stor
ing up, laying away at d adding to
things, whioh, whether alike or dif
ferent, bear no vital relation to each
othei; the other consists in such a
use of them as shall reveal their true
meanlrg, and accumulate their value
rather than themselves by constantly
movlDg them into obaogtng and
improving forms. We see these two
processes in oontlnual cparatlon.
marking out a broad distinction of
obarachr and an equally broad
divergence of Teaulta.
Ooe man, for example, Is bent on
accumulating money. He winks
hard and perseverlngly, aud gradu
ally reaps the success he craves. His
hundreds oome to be thousands, and
his thousands are carefully laid away
in safe depositor's t. His chief
joy Is In adding to them,
and whatever he is c mpellel
to take away for any purpose cos s
him a pang. His dollars lie side by
side, In Increasing numbers, but they
have no mutual relation to eaoh o'.l er
—they serve no common purpose;
they nev-ir lose their own identity In
anything higher or nobler than them
selves. When be diet, tl ey will fall
apart and be scat'ertd like gra ns of
sand, wleu the howl that held them
is broken. Another man accumu
lates money in a different way. He
regards it as a means, not an end, as
au Instrument wherewith to build
up many things, espeolalty happi
ness. He pats It Into a bright and
happy home, Into the education cf
his children and the enlighten
ment ot the community, Into
health and welfare, Intelligence ar.d
moral advancement, in whatever o
thiir conditions appears to him a
the most impor.ant. Thus his
money Is continually being worked
ever into It goer forms than itselfjit no
longer simply exists as dead mailer,
but Is transformed into a vital frros.
penetrating aud uplifting the lives
of men and women. Tbe difference
is like that between two men who
shall accumulate large quantities of
building material—bricks, vtood and
iron—one of whom should simply
store them In vast repositories all
through hie life, while the other
builds them Into noble structures
and oomfortab'e dwellings, which In
tbeir tarn will develop fuller and
happ er human life.
So In all the experiences we past
through. To some they are like beads
upon a string, and When the thread
of life Is cut, they simply roll away
out of sight and out of miud. Anew
business here, a new friendship there;
here a lucky accident, there a disas
trous failure; here a birth and re
joicing, there a death and mourning;
and aa (be mind recalls them it finds
uospeolal meaning to them, and no
connection* oe*tween them, except
that of time or place. Another per
son comes out of each one fuller,
