Adams Jefferson Madison Monroe.

Correspondence Nebraska Advertiser.Washington, D C.

Sept. ldt, ' to.JOHN ADAMS.

John Adauis camo in for his shareof vituperation and abuse, and underhis leadership the Federal party struckagainst the rocks of popular unpopu-larity, and was wrecked. He was ac-

cused of bending all hi3 energies tosecure are-electio- n, of having "avau- -

"Jt Tt?lf.fctvvfirkiir hvrii.Wl4..tOtula '" a jealousy ca- -

pauiu of discoloring every object,""rliisrrtiRMncr PO-nti- nnrl.. ungoverna- 'n .h""11""ble indiscretion;" and Hlldreth says,in comnn utlng upon Hamilton's por-

traiture of the man, that Adams had'little control over his tongue and

pen, and iu moments of excitementhe gave vehement and unguarded ex-

pressions to his feelings that ho act-

ed without any settled plan, withoutany fixed system or theory, and muchmore under the guidance of capriceand paafrion than of judgment.

On the 3d of March, 1801, Adamsleft Washington for his Massachusettshome, not waitiim to pee his successorinaugurated. The volume of abuseheaped upon him by the pre?a duringthe latter portion of his administra-tion, rendered him ill at ease, evenheart-sic-k, and he left in a pet. Hil-dret- h

tells us (vol. 2, p. 412.) that "theretired to Jiratntree m a

state of mind little to be envied. De-

lighting, as he did, in distinction,and anxious for leadership and ap-- jplause, had he remained the head andchampion of the Federalists his proudspirit might have borne up with equa-nimity, If not with exultation, againstthe hatred of the opposition, and thetaunts and shouts of triumph withwhich they greeted his retirement,and the personal responsibility towhich he was held for the Alien andSedition laws, and every other obnox-ious procedure of the past four years.But when to all this was added thecurses, deeper, if not so loud, of theEssex Junto, responded to by a largepart of the Federal leaders through-out the country, denouncing him as atraitor, who had sacrificed the goodcause in a vain and foolish attempt to

secure the votes nnd favor of the op-

position by unworthy concessions, thephilosophy was over-

thrown."THOMAS JEFFERSON.

ThiB gentleman also appears tohave been fallible, and was chargedwith offenses which, if true, in thisago would cover a man occupying po-

sition with obloquy and shame. Hewas shown to be inordinately ambi-

tious. During Washington's secondterm it was charged that Jeffersonwas subsidising the Aurora, and en-

couraging its editor to vilify the Fath-er of our Couutry. It so happenedthat during Adams' administrationCollindir, the editor of the Aurora,was convleted under the Alien andSedition law, and sentenced to fineand imprisonment. At the time ofJefferson's accession to power, Collin-dir'- s

term of imprisonment expired,and through friends had been able topay the fine levied against him, whichJefferson, by doubtful exercise ofpower, ordered to bo returned. Co-llindir was not satisfied with the remission of his fine, but imperiouslydemanded to be appointed postmasteiof Richmond. Jefferson sent him fif-

ty dollars and a civil refusal. Collin-dir thereupon became indignant, andconnecting himself editorially withthe Richmond Recorder, exposed therelationship which he held with Jef-ferson while editor of the Aurora;and further, that for the pamphlet,the publishing of which resulted inhis, Collindir's incarceration, Jeffer--

sou uuu vuuuiuuiku uiuucj uuu iinui- -j

--nation, and read the prcot-sneet- s,

i backing his assertions by publishing

letters from Jefferson to him. Collin-dir went further, and related storiesreflecting upon the honor and chasti-ty of Jefferson; stories whioh Hll-dreth tells us, was told with minutecircumstances, and were never con-tradicted. The accidental drowningof Collindir soon thereafter, helped torestore quietude to Jefferson, thoughthe stories were afterwards reviveand verified on oath, at least so saysHildreth.

Then, too, Jefferson was severelycriticised on Tom Paine publishingJefforson's letter to him. offerinp; toplace at his service a public vessel onwhich to come home from Franco.Paine was then In bad repute from hislibels on Washington and irreligiousviews, and Jefferson was charged as asympathiser with Paine's views onWashington and the future life, andthat he held views relating to the Deity and the hereafter like unto thoseof Paine. Relative to his secret esti-mate of Washington, opinions differ.

Gov. Clinton, of New York, said ofJefferson that ho "had loug enter-tained an unfavorable opinion of Mr.Jefferson's talent as a statesman, andhis firmness as a Republican. Thathe deemed him an accommodatingtrimmer, who would change withtimes, and bend to circumstances fortho purposes of personal promotion.Impressed with these sentiments, hecould not, with propriety, acquiescein the elevation of a man destitute ofthe qualifications essential to the goodadministration of the government.Matthew L. Davis1 Memoirs of AaronBurr, vol. 2, p. 59.

Jefferson was charged with chican-ery in securing his own election, andin n conspiracy to make Madison hissuccessor.

Erick Bollinan accused Jefferson ofa breach of faith (as awith Burr in his Mexican expedition)in procuring from him a written state-ment of the fact, and on thai issued apardon with tho view of convictingBurr.

Randolph said, in a spepch in Con-

gress: "Jefferson's second term ofoffice resembles the lean King ofEgypti in having swallowed up allthe fatness of tho first.

n Partou's Life of Jackson (vol. 1,p 200,) wo are told that an oppositionpaper said during the candidacy ofJefferson, "All who wish to see thehorrors of the French revolution inAmerica, the guillotine set up in ourstreets, and a Robspeirre in the chairof State, will vote for Thos. Jefferson,the infidel, the leveler, the agrarian,the calumniator of Washington, thecrack-braine- d enthusiast."

"Robspeirre." That is rather worsethan "Ciesar,' as applied to PresidentGrant b3 his opponents of to-da- y.

In 1S04 Adams charged Jeffersonwith "a want of sincerity, an inordi-nate ambition, and a mean thirst ofpopularity."

JAMES MADISON.

Hildreth, in his Gth volume, sn'sthat Madison was "more of a rhetori-cian than a ruler. He was made onlyfor second places, and therefore neverwas but second, even when beseemedto be first. A Federalist from naturallargeness of views, he became a Jef-fersoni- an

Republican because that be-

came the predominatingpolicy of Vir-ginia. A peace man in his heart andjudgment, he became a war man tosecure his to tho Presiden-cy, and because that seemed to bo theprevailing views of the Republicanparty."

Rufus King, of New York, a lead-ing Federalist, violently opposed tothe war, for the purpose of mortifyingMadison aud disgracing bis adminis-tration, advocated in the Senate a project for mortgaging the national do- -

maiu to raise money to carry ou thewar, contending that the people hadnot confidence enough iu the govern-ment, or the administration, to lendtheir money without a mortgage onthe public lands.

Van Buren favored the election ofDo Witt Clinton rather than Madison,and said : "Madison ha3 begot war ;

war begot debt; debt begot taxes;taxes begot bankruptcy. Clinton willbeget peace ; peace begets riches andprosperity ; prosperity begets narmo-mony- .'

During Madison's administrationfearful riots, of a political character,broke out in Baltimore, men were shotdown in tho street, and hot tallowpoured into their eyes to determinewhether the victims of their frenziedhate were really dead or not, and therioters went through tho street hur-rahing for Jefferson and Madison.

During his term of office the "Em-bargo Act" called forth from the sail-ors severe maledictions, aud the tarbarrels which were inverted over thetopmasts to save the rigging of un-

used vessels were denominated as"Madison night-cap3- ,' and the firstanniversary of the act was celebratedin several commercial cities by thetolling of bells, flags at half mast, andprocessions with muffled drums. Itis recorded that an old citizen of thosedays gave utterance to the wish that"hell could be boiled down to a half-pin- t,

and Madison had to drink it."JAMES MONROE.

Monroe attained to the Presidencyin what was known as the "new era,'or "era of good feeling. The warwim Jingiand nad Deen brouglit to apeaceful issue, party spirit becamesub-due- d,

and nil effort was directed tothe enhancement of material inter-ests; yet he soon fell under the banof political criticism. Under his rulepeace was maintained with other gov-ernments, and by his benign andmoderate counsels tranquility wa3 se

cured at home. Large and valuableacquisitions of territory were made,foundation for national prosperity audgreatness laid, and the AmericanUnion was advancing with the vigorand strides of a giant to glory andpower. Yet those w-h-o had been hispolitical friends charged him with obliterating party lines for party pur-poses. A historian tells us that asMadison's secretary of war he becameobnoxious in consequence of propos-ing, in 1S14 an increase of the army,to which the term "conscription' wasopprobriously attached. Ho was notbrilliant in genius or talents pru-dence, good sense, tact, was his byright of inheritance. Monroe was aRepublican. The Federalists hadbeen broken by their resistance tothe war. Jackson wrote him advisingthat he eschew politics in tho framingof his cabinet and disposal of his offi-

ces, but Monroe wrote him in replythat the Republican party was theparty of the country, and he proposedleaning upon his political friends totemporizing with his political ene-

mies. The treaty by which Floridawas ceded to the' U. S. was violentlycondemned. Hard times aud theMissouri Compromise snocked thepeople, and Monroe was held respon-sible. Relative to the latter, Walkermade a speech in which he prophesiedthat growing out of that compromisehe "could see the father arraignedagainst tho son, and tho brotherdrawing the bloody sword from thebosom of the brother.''

The Florida or Siminole war proveda mine of wealth to the enemies ofPresident Monroe, those of themwhose capital consisted in abuse of theexecutive. General Jackson, it wiilbe remembered, by very doubtful au-

thority, executed some Indian chiefswhom lie had deluded into his clutch-es, aud a couple of Indian traders.The land filled with horror at the In-

telligence, and while a difference ofopinion obtained as to the motiveswhich actuated Jackson some aver-in- g

that it was purely patriotic whileothers insisted that it was wholly dev-

ilish President Monroo was openlycharged with receiving certain publicand governmental plums, and issuingsecret orders to Jackson in conflictwith his political professions and mor-al rectitude.

Before leaving Monroe it might bewell euough to remark that Randolphdenounced the Missouri Compromiseas a "dirty bargain," and the North-ern Congressmen who voted for it as"doughfaces," a term still used famil-iarly in politics.

Iu the memoirs of Jno. Quincy Ad-

ams just published we find in the di-

ary of that gentleman that there wasscandal on one occasion about the ap-

propriations for furnishing the Presi-dent's houo, and tho President fur-

nished a memorandum upon the sub-ject. "This memorandum," says Mr.Adams, "enters into detai Is of a veryhumiliating character, and whichought never to have been or to be re-

quired of him." "There appears tobe nothing really censurable iu allthese transactions." "There arisesfrom all this an e"xpo3uro of domesticand household concerns almost as incongruous to the station of a Presi-dent of the United States as it wouldbe to a blooming virgin to exhibitherself naked before a multitude. Thomalignity of political opposition hasno feeling-o- f delicacy." In this era ofgood feeling there were kitchen cabi-nets, and on one occasion AdaniB fearsthe French Legation "has access tothe President through another whis-pering gallery. Such is tho way ofthe world; there are winding stairsin every direction."

A Night with a Kattlesnake.

From the Dover (Tenn.) Record.While in Houston county la9t week

a gentleman informed us that in theearly part of last month a little childfour years old, daughter of Mrs. Nan-cy Haskins, was 6leepiug on a palletspread on the floor, which was madeof puncheons. During the night thochild was very uneasy, and called itsmother, who was in the same room,frequently. At one time the littlechild cried that a rail had fallen on itsfinger and mashed it. The mother,thinking the child was dreaming, paidno attention to it. When daylightcame a sight appeared to her gaze thatchilled her blood. By the side of thepallet was a rattlesnake some threeaud a half feet in length, and in themouth of which was the child'sthumb. Tho noise made by the moth-er started the snake, which glidedthrough the crack. Upon examina-tion of the child's thumb it was foundto be lacerated very much, and tornby the fangs of the snake, the effectof which was soon visible on thechild, and at one time it was thoughtimpossible to save its life, but it wassaved, we understand, by a remedy ofDr. Nixon's, of that county, which ismoss made into tea, and drank, andused also as a poultice. The snakewas killed by some young men thesame morning.

Senator Jones of Nevada, A. T.Stewart of New York, and J. D.Coughlin and George Brown of Cali-

fornia, have bought a piece of land atDelord and Annunciation street, NewOrleans, whereon they intend to buildan artificial ice factory 150 feet loug,110 feet wide, and more than 50 feethigh, to cost $125,000. They have anice faotory in California, one in Cbat- -tauooga, one" nearly finished in Galveston, and are aUout to build one inAtlanta.

He Conldn't Linger.

From the Brunswlcker.A great many strapped printers are

on the road now, and scarcely a daypasses but one or more of them strikesU3 for a job. Those from the west saytbat business is dull in all the townsout there, and those coming from theea3t have the same tale of bard timesto tell about the country they havepassed through. One of them limpedInto the office Tuesday and propounded the old, old question :

"How's work?""First rate," said one of the propri-

etors; "never was better.''"I'd like to get in enough to get

me something to eat," said the print.,as ho pulled his coat down over oneshoulder.

"More work here than we knowwhat to do with." continued the pro-prietor.

"Well, that's what I'm after," saidthe tramp, aud he threw the otherBhoulder in view.

"But," and the tones of the bosswere as sad and plaintive as the moanof a lost child, "there's no money."

Like a Btartled mud-turtl- e "jurk-Ing- "

into its shell, that printer shotback into hia coat, and A sigh partlyof regret.somowhatof relief escapedhim. He was sorry to be disappointed, and glad that he had been madeacquainted with the situation beforehe had wasted any of his energies inuncompensative labor.

"If you ain't got any money, howdo you pay your hands?" he asked,glancing around at the boys, whowere pulling out with as much energyas if they wero working in a silvermine.

"We pay them in real estate andtown lots, sir," replied the boss whohappened to be iir a commuuicativehumor. "My partner and I run thispaper, not as a money-makin- g insti-tution, but as a medium throughwhich to dispose of a quantity of landwhich wo could not get off' our handsin any other manner. When we finda printer who is willing to work andtake his pay in the free soil of Mis-

souri, we employ him ; otherwiso,notsoevbr.

The tramp looked puzzled and dis-

tressed, but he said :

"I don't care about settling downjust now and becoming a landed proprietor. I'm poor enough already. Idon't want any more of this countrythan I can conveniently carry aroundwith mo. I'm too feeble to grow upwith any considerable amount of it.Good-daj- ', sir."

"Hold on," said tho proprietor.Don't tear yourself away from a bo-

nanza before you are acquainted withtho nature of its resources. There isan opportunity offered you to acquiredistinction, if not wealth. You seethat young fellow over there by thewindow?"

"Tho one with a far-awa- vacantlook in his mild blue 03-es-

"Yes. Well, that young man hasjust about completed his apprenticeship, and I've made him out a deed to100 town lots in consideration of hisservices. You can see them from thewindow. Half of them are on thebar, and the other half in tho river,,but they will be very valuable in a cen-

tury or two. Oh, sir, all the boyshere are heavy property holders. Thepressman owns half that bar, and thejours can each point with pride to themighty Missouri and say it rolls andsurges over their possessions, guardingand enriching them. You see thatman over in the corner."

"That long, sad, consumptive-lookin- g

being?""Yes. Speak low. I gave him a

deed for 1,000 acro3 of land, in pay-

ment for three years' work. It wasswamp land In Liun county, and hehas just returned from a visit to it.His place will soon be vacant, and youmay have it on the same terms, ifyou like."

The tramp moved uneasily about,and finally went to tho window andgazed out over tho town. Presentlyhe called tho proprietor to him andsaid :

"I haven't got long to tarry. Some-

thing seems to call and beckon meaway. But I don't mind working acouple of hours for-th- e corner lot overthere the one with the saloon on it."

"I'm truly sorry," said the boss,but I deeded that lot last week to theboy who carries papers. There's a lotright back of it, with a nice cellar on

wouldn't it suit you.""No, I believe not. I guess I can't

linger with you, however much Imight desire to, I have a present!-- 'ment that I am not long for thisworld, and I fain would lay my bonesto rest in tho home of my childhood.Farewell, old man. Your kiuduesshas moved me. I'm homewardbound."

New York, Sept. 6, 1875.

POLITICS.

The political cauldron is boiling andbubbling fiercely, and particulalyamong tho Democracy. Gov. Tildeuis laying the ropes for the DemocraticPresidential nomination, and NewYork will furnish a dozen other can-

didates, who are quietly knockingdown his pin3 as fast as he aot9 themup. Tho foxy old Tildeu is riding,just now, the reform hobby, his spec-ialty, being a shy at the Caual swiu-dler- s.

He has unearthed immensefrauds, aud has caused proceedings tobe instituted against them, and it doeslook as though some of the thieveswould bo brought td justice.

But remember always, tbat the zealfor reform that is generated by thoheat for further promotion is verylikely to die ina smudge tta soon as theobject is attained. If Mr. Tilden hadonly taken a decout part in the initia-tory movement on the Tweed ring, ifho had always been watchful of theintests of this city aud State, if hehad always used his undeniably greatinfluence in the right .direction, wecould have more faith in his reforma-tory ideas at this time. But, unfortu-nately, Sam Tilden knew of the fraudsthat Tweed and his associates wereperpetrating years before he openedhia mouth indeed, he did not openhis mouth at all, until compelled toby outraged public sentiment, whichthe magnificet work of the New York27mes called into activity. I have ahealthy distrust of Democratic reformand Democratic reformors. Theynever wake until they are compelledto, and they let go the moment pub-

lic vigilance is in the least slackened.New York City is under Demoraticrule, and it is as badly governed as Inits worst days. Tilden'a charge on theCanal ring will amount to just asmuch as did the reforms in this city.But, on the strength of it, he may car-ry off the empty honor of a Democrat-ic nomination for the Presidency.

FRUIT

comes pouring into the city in greaterquantities than over. Peaches are ar-

riving at the rate of from seventy toone hundred and twenty thousandbaskets per day a much greaterquantity tlia'n can be consumed in thocity. It is delightful for everybodybut the grower and merchant to beable to buy on any street corner beau- -

ful, luscious peaches, great, large.sweet,juiC3T oeauiies ior a ceuc, or morefrequentl3T two for a cent. And thenthe melons, berries, and other fruits !

Wo are living ver3' well in New York,now, thank 3'ou !

In consequence of the plethora ofpeaches, shippers, are sending themin largo quantities to the West, wherothis 'ear, the crop is a failure. Theyuse a new refrigerator car, and hurr3them through ou the express trains.Chicago is the objective point for atrain or two per day.

MOODY AND SANKEY,

the revivalists', commence their laborain this countr- - in Brooklyn in Octo-

ber. Their selection of that place fora begiuning is singularly appropriate,for what city in the world needsdownright hard work in the wa3' ofevangelization as does Brooklyn ? Itis not decided whethera building wiilbe erected for them or ouo alread3 upbe altered for the purpose. Talmage'atabernacle is Hrgo enough, but Tal- -

mage considers himself as much ofan evangelist as any Mood3' ever born,and he probabl3 would object to theirusing it. Aftor renovating Brooklynthe3 propose to tackle New York,thus giving themselves the severesttest possible. I wish there could besome arrangement mado by whichthe democratic politicians, tho policeforce, the burglars, and thereat of thethieves could be brought together forthese daring missionaries to work up-

on. If the3 succeeded in making animpression upon them, it would be sostriking a manifestation of tho powerof the gospel that no man would daroto doubt.

BUSINESS.

Hope springs semi-immort- al in thebreasts of irresponsible newspaper cor-

respondents, who tr3' to get up thehope of a return to activlt3 in busi-

ness. With tho utmost candor, itcan-n- ot

be allowed that these efforts haveanj" reason. The ground taken inthese letters, has always been, that aresumption of business cannot be locked for till the heavy atock of manu-factured goods on hand is moved off,which cannot be the present season.This week, ther6 is some activityamong jobbers, as man3' Southern andWestern merchants are iu town, butit i3 only a flurry, and will boon beover. These gentlemen do not profes3to come on with anv serious intentions of business, but are nu- - lookinground, threwdl' inclined to snap upany peculiarly good bargains thatmay fall in their way. Nominal pri-

ces are the same as usual in more linesthan one. TLe semi-annu- al flittingfrom one roof to another, which ispart of the lives of half New York,leads to drawn battles between land-lord and tenant this season. Lodging-hous-

ekeepers aretr3'ing their bestto keep up old prices of rent, whiletenants are bound to have the benefitof the general reduction which ought

to take place in the rates of living.Tho tenants wil have tho best of it inthe end. These workmen have foughtto keep up the liberal prices to whichthey are used, $3 aud 0 a day formasons, carpenters, and stone-cutter- s

They would uot work full weekswhen these rates were going, norwould the3' save au3 thing from theirwages, consequent they are forced toto take what the3 can get. Tho un-

scrupulous among them take to bur-glary, which is almodt an epidemichere.

THE DARINO OUTRAGEof last Sunday is not likelv to lendhouseholders quiet minds. Mr. Noe,an old and respectable merchant, onlast Sunday got to thinkiug about hisstore, aud tho feeling that somethingwas wrong about it grew so strongthat he finally went down town to seeabout it. He went through all thestories, fiudiug everything safe tillcame he the loft, where ho saw a maucoming down tho scuttle. Thoughunarmed, Mr. Noe was plucky euoughto grapple tho burglar, and givo himcousiderable trouble ; but the miscre-ant got tho better of him, and the oldman was left tied hand aud foot, hor-ribly beaten about tho head, audwarned not tocr3 for help, on peril ofdeath. Ho died Thursday ovenlug,of his injuries. Crimes run high inNew York of late. Not for fifteen3'eara has there been so muoh violencecommitted. A man crossing the Bat-ter- 3

about 11 o'clock one of the sweetsummer evenings of this week, waaknocked down aud choked almost todeath, while his pockets were search-ed aud robbed. A stout Gormanwoke to find a burglar departingthrough a rear wiudow, and had thecourage to seize bold of him by theleg, spiteof his threats to shoot, tillarrived. A Brooklyn storo was bro-

ken open, and the clerk, who slept iuit, ordered to laj down again, withthe muzzle of a pistol held to hisforehead, while the money drawer wasransacked. A New Yorker can hard-ly be said io lie down to quiet dreams.

The Noe burglar has not 3'et beencaught, nor is there much likelihoodthat he will be. The detective systemof New York ia a fraud, and the po-

lice system a sham. The cit3 ia atthe merc3 of tho dangerous classes,and will bo till the decent meu takepolitical control of it. You, in the in-

terior don'tTealizo what Democracymeans.

THE AMERICAN RIFLE TEAM.

came home this week, and city regi-ments turned out to escort them uptown, where a kind of fur3' of enthu-siasm greeted them. Since then theyhave been the honored recipients ofever3T flattering attention ; and ashrewd manager has caused it to beknown that the victorious rifle teamwould be present at hia cheater thofirst uight of the season. The an-

nouncement will draw more to hishouse thau even Mr. Barry Sullivan,who pla3'snext Monday, the first timeon hia visit to America.Whereever a member of the riflo teamappears with the pretl3' little badgepresented iiim, ho ia the observed ofalle3es,a tribute which tho gallantmen take modestly and pleasantlyenough.. It is just a little amusing to6ec how insensibl3 the trick of Eng-lish manners has grown upon them,the little hesitaion, the slap on thepalm, the "how are 3e, m3' boy?"with the rest of the "ah ah" style ofthe British good fellow, as distingni.'h-e- d

from tho "haw haw" lumbering,social gait of the heavy swell. Ourmen seem to have had the best oftimes abroad, nnd enjoyed it as the3'deserved, where their skill waa de-

light to Ameiicaus and admirationto ever3'body else.

The badgo is a brilliant device. Sus-

pended fromagold bar l3a square med-al about three inches wide with silverbars across the upper and lower mar-gins, the former bearing tho name ofAmerica, the latter Ireland, in risedgold letters, wh?!aon the green fieldbetween, the national colors and eaglesdiaport themselves. More enthusiasmof a sort that tells on performance ianow felt b3 Americana for all sorts ofmanly accomplishments, as witnessthe swimming matches that come offsince Paul Bo3-nton- 's feat of crossingtho English Channel, and the intenseinterest in the shooting matches atour Wimbledon on Long Island, tosay nothing of the collegiate boatingmania.

THE WEATHER

is deliciously cool and bracing. "NewYork is a delightful city just now, andwill be till midwinter. Pietro.

How a Chariton County Girl wasTempted by Her Spiritual

Adviser.

An old lad3 came up to tho ofllcoWednesday. She waa worn atid tiredfrom climbing the winding stairs, andshe sank almost breathless into thowasto basket, putting the stories Budpoems It contained to the only pressthe3 wil' ever know. There was atroubled anxious look on her face, apair of green spectaca'es on her nose,aud a general air of sorrow and ex-

haustion about her that appealed atonce to our tenderest feelings. Thefeeling answered the appeal and step-ped respectfully forward. After thoaged female had recovered her breathshe said:

"Is there a loryer'a office in thisbuildin'?"

We answered in the aflimative, butwas sorr3 to sa3 that the legal gentle-man was out of town.

"Out of town, eh ? Well, I a'sposeI'll have to find some other lor'er. Ikem to town a purpose to have thisthing fixed up, an' I ain't going baoU

ontill kuow whether there is any lawau' eklty iti this country."

We ventured to romind tho 'damethat lawing was a losing buainesa inthe end, aud should bo resorted to ou-l- y

in the most aggravated cases."Aggrevated casses !" Bhe screeched,

and the manuscript in the basket rat-tled violently. "Young man it is themost aggrevatod case 3ou evor heard,on. You can never know tho anguishof a mothers heart when her do'rtorgoes astray, and follars arter falsoidols."

"Your daughter has had trouble'then."

"No, it's mo what's havln the trouble ; but she's a eausln it sho anthat tarnal sheep-face- d preacher."

"Ah? a minister in the case! T

think I understand. Such things orebecoming too common, alaa ! tdo fre-

quent. The cloth ia being broughtiuto disrepute by such scoundrels whosteal the livery of heaven to serve thedevil in. Poor girl!"

"Pore nothin' ! She is a brazen huz-zy to go back on her mother's toaoh-i- n

Lord knows I've alius tried' toto raise her right."

"But 3'ou must consider, my goodwoman, that 3'our daughter had pecul-iar temptations. You mu3t make al-

lowance for tho fact that the temptercame to her in a holy garb impos-ing upon her confidence in the assum-ed character of a spiritual adviser,silencing the voice of her consciencewith cunningly chosen scriptural quo-

tations. You must uot be severe onher."

"Well, Hanner was a 'bedfent girltill he kem foolin' around. He kemto the house purt3' ofTen, but I didn'tsBpo30 nothin' was wrong till a weekago, when Hanner tole me. Then Igive him rt mighty big pleco of mymind."

"He denied It, of course?""No he didn't. Ho said he'd dontf

his duty aa a Christian. An' hia con-

gregation are all tickled over It andthat is what makes me bile."

'Why, what an aggravated case.That he should be guilty of such &

thing, is bad enough; that he shouldcall it tho performance of duty, laworse; aud that his congregationshould uphold him In such vile prac-tices ia be3'ond belief."

"Well, is's 30 ; an I want to get aloryer to issoo a conjunction or inject-me-nt

or something to stop it.""I fear there ia no legal redress un-

less it is a matter of very recent occur-rence. A bill baa passed the legisla-ture govering such casea' but it won'twork backwards."

"What is' that bill ?" akeu trie old'Jad3 her face lighting up with a newhope.

"It makes it obligatory Upon tnoman to marry tho woman, or Bupportthe chil "

"What!" shrieked the woman';springing up with a suddenness that'sent the basket of unacknowledged1genius half way accross the room."You btirrel headed idiyot! M- - gal Isno such a fool as that! You editorsthink 3'ou're mighty smart, an' 3"ouare alius s'posen things wusser'n thojare.
