THE EDITOR’S GUESTS.
WILL Ms CABLETON.
'—
_ .
The Editor sat in his sanctum, his counte—
nance furrowed .with care,
His mind at the bottom of ‘ business, his feet
at the top of a'chair‘,
Hls chair-arm an elbow supporting, his right
I I hand upholding his head,
His eyes on his dusty. old table, with differ-
ent documents spread;
There were thirty long pages from Howler,
with underlined capitals topped,
And a short disquisition from Growler, re-
questing his newspaper stopped;
There were lyrics from Gusher the poet,
concerning sweet fiowrets and zephyts
And a stray gem from Plodder, the farmer,
describing a couple of heifers;
TJOIO were billets from beautiful maidens
anddrill from a grocer or two.
* ._ ader hitch‘ed‘to n‘letter,which
:z. i d if he wrote it,or who?
. nptures of praise from writers
f - .11.:- JIIIOOIII‘ and mellifiuous school,
And one of his rival's last paper, informing
him he was a fool; .‘
There were several long resolutions. with
names telling who they were by,
Canonizing some harmless old brother, who
had done nothing worse than to die;
There were traps on that table to catch him,
and serpents to sting and to smite him,
There were gift enterprises to sell him, and
biters attempting to bite him;
There were long staring ”ads” frOm the city,
and money from never a one,
Which added, “Please give this insertion,end
send in your bill when you're done ;"
There were letters from organizations—their
meetings, their wants and their laws-—
Which said, “Can you print this announce-
ment for the good of our glorious cause. ”
There were tickets inviting his presence to
festivals, parties and shows, . '
Wrepjmd in notee,with “Please give us n no-
, tice," demurely‘-slipped in at the close;
In short, as'his' ey'e-took'the table, and ran
o’er its ink—spattered trash,- -
There was nothing it did not encounter, ex-
cepting,’:pe’rhaps, it was cash; ' _
The Editoerreamily pondered on several-v
Ponderouséifilhsk-
.‘. l
On dlflerent lines of action, and the pulling:-
of. difiere'nhstrin'ssl ‘
Upon several equivocal doings;
quietly prompt paying-Ones; -
On friends: who subscribed. “just to help
him," and wordy encouragement lent,
And had given him plentry of counsel, but
- never had paid more cent ;
0n vinegar, kind-heartedfpeople were feed-
ing. him every hour, .1 - ' '
Who nw not the work they were doing, but
' wondered that printerswere sour; =
On several intelligent" townsmen, whose
kindness was to; without stint, _
That they kept an eyeotrt onghis huiin‘ess, and
. tbld him just‘what' he should print;
On men who had rendered him favorsnand‘l
never pushed forward their claims,
So long as the paper was crowded with locals
containing their names ; .
0:: various other small matters, sufiicient his.
temper to roll, '
And finally donuived to be making the blood _. . - -
. efan cditdrboil;
And so one could see. that his feelings could : '
hardly be said to be smooth,
And he needed'some pleasant occurrence,his'
wekened emotions to sooth ;‘ ‘ -'
He had it; for 10, on the threshold, a slow
and reliable tread, . . .
A farmer invaded the sanctum, and these are
the words that he said 1 ‘
body to-day ?
I'm glad you're to home; for ybu fellows is
al’ays a runnin’ away. -
Your paper last week wasn't so spicey nor
sharp as the one week before;
But I ap‘ose when theroampaign is opened, .
you’ll be whoopin' it up‘to ’emmore,
That fellow that’s: printin’ ' The Embed-is
goin’ for you pretty smart,
And our folks said this mernin’, at breakfast,
. they thoughthe was getting thestart,"
But I hushed 'emright up in aj'minute, and
said a good word for you: 7
I told ’em I believed you was tryin' to do juut
as Well as you knew; . .
And told ’em that some one was sayin.’ and
whoever ’twas it is so, :
That you can’t expect much of no one man,
nor blame him for what he don't know.
But, leyin’ aside pleasure for business, I've
brought you my little son Jim;
And thought I Would as if you couldn’t
make an editor outcn o’:him.
‘My family stock is increasin’, while other
folks seem to run short,
I've got a right smart of a family—it’s one
of the old-fashioned sort;
There‘s Ichabod, Isaac and Israel, a workin’
away on thefarm—
They do ’bout as muchas one good boy—
and make things go off like a charm.
There’s Moses and Aaron are sly ones. and
. slipllkc a couple of eels, ,-
Thare’s Peter 1. busy inventin’(tho_ugh what
he invents 7 result-see) ;-i '- -
Anti Joseph is studyin’rned’oine—and they’re
both of 'emghoardin’ withme. . .
There's Abram and Albert is married, ‘each"
workin’ my farm for himself,
And Sam smashed his nose at a shootin,’ and
‘= : so-he is laid on the shelf. , " '
The rest of the boys are all growin,’ 'cept
this little runt, which-is Jim. . -
And I though' that perhaps I’d be makin' an
editor catch 0' him. ~ '
“He ain’t no great shakes for to 1abor,though
I’ve labored .with him a good deal,
And give him some strappin’good arguments
know he couldn’tth but- feel; ; -
But he’s built out o’ second-class" timber, and
nothing about him is big. , . . - .
Exceptin’ his appetite' only, and there's he’s
asgoodas'apig. .f . .
' I keep him a carryin’ luncheons, and fillin’
and bringin’ the jugs, _ ’
And take him among. the potatoes, and set
him to pickin' the bugs; .. . _
. And then ther’s things to be doin', a helpin’
the womenin doors, . , _
Ther’s churnin' an’, washln’ of dishes. and
other description of. chores,-
But he don’t take to nothin’ but-vituals, and.
he'll neveribe much,.l’mah'0id. . - .-
801 thought it ‘Would be? I goodnnotion to'
learn him the editor's trade. ~ .1 .
His body’s too small for a farmer, his judg-
ment’s rather—to slim, ;~ - ,
But I thought we perhapscould be makin an
editor outen o'_ him. .‘
“It ain‘t much to get up apaper—it wouldn't
take him long to learn; - . .
He could feed the machine, I'm athinkin.
with some ood etrappin’ fellow to turn
And things wha :was once had in doin' is
easy enough now to', do; , j '
Just keep ian eye on your machinery, 9311
crack your arrangements right throwb-
I used to wonder at readin’, and whenit I“!
Get up, and how r - ,
But 'tis most‘of it made by machinery—I can
see it plain enough now.
And poetry, too, is censtructed by machinery
of different designs, - .
Each one with agai‘g'e and a chopper to see
to the length 'of the lines ;
, And I hit a New ,York clairvoyant is run:
nin’vone slefir nor grease. I ‘
And} rentin’ her heaven-born productions
' DD couple of dollars apiece;
Aa', m the whole trade has growed easy,
’ i't'twould'he easy enough, I’ve a whim,
Ifyou wasagreed, tobe makin' aneditor
outen 0’ Jim."
The Editor Isat in his sanctum, and ’looked
, the old- man in the eye,
Then glanced at the grinning young hopeful
.; and mournfully made this reply:
“Is your son, a small bound edition of Moses
and Solomon both 7
Can he compass his spirits with meekness and
strangle a natural oath it
Can he leave all his wrongs to the future, and
osrryhls heart in his cheek?
Can he do an hour’s work in a minute, and
' live on sixpence a week ?
Can he courteouely talk to an equal,and brow
beat an impudent duncel
Can he keep things in apple-pie order, and
do half adozen at once ?
Can he press all the springs of knowledge,
with Quick and reliable touch,
And be sure that he knows how much to
know, and knows how to not know too
much?
Does he know how to spur up his virtue,and _
put a check rein on his pride!
Can he carry a gentleman’s manner within a
‘ rhinoceros hide ?
Can he know all. and do all, and be all, with
c eeriulness, courage and vim?
If so, at perhaps can be making an editor
outtn 0' him.
The farmer stood curiously listening, while
wonder his visage o’erspread;
And he said, “Jim, I guess we’ll be goin’;
he’s probably out of his head.”
But let on the rickety stair-case, another
. reliable tread,
And entered :another old farmer, and these
are the words he said:
“Good morning, sir, Mr. Editor; how is the
folks to-day ?
I owe you for next year‘s paper—I thought
I’d come in and pay. '
And Jones is a going _to take it, and this is
his money, here;
I shut down on lendin’ it to him, and then
. coaxed him to try it a year. ‘
And here is a few little items that happened
last week in town;
I thought they’d look good for the paper,
and so I just jotted ’em down,
And here is a basket of cherries my wife
picked expressly for you ;’
And 'a small bunch of flowers from Jennie—
she thought she must send somethin’
too.
Your’e doin’ the politics bully, as all of our
family agree; ‘
V J first keep your old goose-quill a fioppin', and
\
5 l ’ give e’m a. good one for me.
And now your are chuck full of business, and
, i I won’t be a taking your time ;

and some 1.

Oh how few of his numerous patrons were.
day, air, I b’lieve I will climb.”
The Editor sat in his sanctum, and brought
f ~ down his fist with a thump;
:“God bless that old farmer," he muttered,
‘ “he's a regular, jolly old trump.”
And ’tis thus with our noble profession, and
, thus it will ever be still; '
There are sbme who appreciate its labor, and
= .. some who perhaps never will,
But in the great time that is coming, when
. Gabriel's trumpet, shall sound,
Knd they who have labored and rested shall
., .. come from the quivering ground,
{When they who have striven and suffered to
;, ' teach an ennoble the race, '
'Shall march at the head of the column, each
5 ‘ one in his God-given place,
As they pass through the gates of The City.
, ' with proud and victorious tread,
The editor, printer and devil will travel not
far from the head.

The lowest and most God forsaken nigger
stealing abolitionists are to be found in Indi-
ana doing battle against the national democ-
racy, side by side with the leaders of the

add, of the know nothing party also. If a
slave escapes into Indiana we give him up
promptly to his master. There is a clause
in the Missouri compromise restricting slavery
forever. It was generally conceded that the
term forever was not to be taken in its literal
sense—that it only meant during the exist—
ence of the. territorial government.—Speech
of English, Democratic Candidalc‘Jor Vice
President, in 1858.

for one thousand boys who come up to the
standard. Each boy can suit his taste as to
the kind of business he would prefer. The
places are ready in every kind of occupation.
Many of them are already filled by boys who
, labk some important points, but they will
sconbe vacant. Some situations will soon
be vacant because the boys have been poi-
anned by reading bnd books, such as they
would not dare show their fathers, and
ashamed to have their mothers see. The
impure, thoughts suggested by these books
will lead tovicious acts, the boys will be
mined, and their places must be filled. Who
will be ready for one of these vacancies i
Distinguished lawyers, useful mtnisters,
skillful physicians, successful merchants,
must all soon leaVe their places for somebody
else to fill. One by one they are removed by
death. Mind your ten points, boys; they
will prepare you to step into vacanices in the
front rank.“ Every man who is worthy to
employ a boy is looking for you if you have
the points. Do not fear that you will be
overlooked. A young person having those.
qualities will shine as plainly as a star at

Garfield will have, counting New York
and Connecticut among the Republican
states, 222 electoral votes. Let him lose In-
diana and Connecticut, and he will still have
201. Take away Maine from the list thus
depleted, and he will have 194. In addition
to these he may lose Oregon and California
and still have 185—enough to elect. If he
lose New York and carry the other states
named Garfield will have 187 electoral votes.
If he lose New York, Connecticut and carry
Virginia, he Will have 186 votes. Or he may
lose N ew_ York, Connecticut and Indiana

only succeed by carrying all the Southern
States, New York, New Jersey, Oregon or

carry all the Southern States, New Jersey,

to have 187 votes. The prospect is certainly
not discouraging to the Republicans—Chica-

Bagdad, according to a medical authority,
is distinguished for a curious and myster-
ious malady,which affects every inhabitant
of the city, whether citizen or stranger. It
is a sore, called a “date mark,” because after
it has healed it leaves an indelible mark
about the size and shape of a date. It
generally makes its appearance upon the face
lasts a year, and then disappears. The cheek
of nearly every man and woman in Bagdad
shows the inevitable mark. Sometimes it
settles upon the nose, and then the disfigure-
ment is great; sometimes on the eyelid,
when blindness results. Strangers are at-
tacked even after a brief residence; but
fortunately, if they are adults, the scar is
more apt to appear on the arm. In every
case the attack runs its course for one year,
and no treatment accelerates or retards it.

M. J. Plateau has suggested a method of
estimating approximately the distance at
which the moon seems to be to different per-
sons. This plan consists in looking at the
moon steadily until the retina is sufiiiciently
fatigued to produce an “accidental” image
or spectacle appearance. The observer must
then turn his gaze to a blank wall, on which
he will see the incidental image projected as
a tinted patch of the same shape as the moon
He is then to retreat from, or advance to,
the wall until his image appears to him to be
of the same size as the moon itself did. The
distance between the observer and the wall
will be the sums as that at which he uncon-
sciously takes the moon-to be. A person who
tried the experiment found the distance in
his case to be about one hundred and sixty
feet. This seems a small distance, but it
may be very accurate, as it was the result
of a single trial under rather unfavorable
circumstances. M. Plateau concludes his
paper on the subject by cautioning all per-
sons who may be interested to take care in
repeating the experiment lest the :great
brilliance of the luminary should injure their
eight. '

The microscope shows a variation in the
thickness of human hair from one two-hun-
dredth to one six-hundredth part of an inch,
but, notwithstanding such fineness, each hair
is a massive cable when compared with some
other fibers. The thread of the silkworm,
for instance, is from one seventeen hun-
thick. Even this, however, is far surpassed
in slenderness by the spiders thread, which
has been found in some cases to he no more
than one thirty thousandth of an inch in
diameter. The fibres yielded by the vege—
table kingdom are also of astonishing
minuteness. Every fiber of flax is found to

which are about one twenty-five hundredth

diameter.
A German physician entertains the novel
‘view that insanity is a boon to mankind. He
contends that the loss of reason lands the
sufferer from a sea of trouble into a state of
comparative calm—often decided happiness ;
and attempts to restore such a. person to
sanity would be crul rather than kind.
Moreover, he insists that a certain amount of
insanity is necessary to success in life. All
eminent men are decidedly more or less mad,
Many of them are dangerous monomaniacs
whom it should be decided on public grounds
to shut up, but who, nevertheless, achieve
grand careers and are credited withdoing a
vast amount of good. The general preys-r
lence of false notions of . sanity-he attributes
to the fact that the greater mass of humanity
is also insane, and quite unable to distinguish
between good and evil.

Yale’s Oldest: Living Graduate.
We saw your article stating that Seth
Pierce is the oldest living graduate of Yale
College. As we met that aged person yes-
terday, perhaps a few words concerning him
will not be out of place. He lives in the
town of Cornwall, Conn, and is 94 years of
age". He attends church, regularly, walks
with the assistance of a. small cane only, has
good; eyesight for we saw him reading a fine
print newspaper yesterday without the aid
of glasses, and with apparently as much
ease as a youth of 20. In short as a neighbor
of his remarked, none of his senses has yet
failed him, and he converses as readily upon
all topics as any man of younger years. He
is the oldest person in town and is considered
a remarkable case.

O
Wants the Poor Man’s Vote.
During the years 1877-80 Wm. H. English
procured tax deeds from the city of Indianap-
olis for 117 lots, and from the auditor of
Marion county for seventy-two descriptions
of property. In each instance the date of
sale and description of property is published
as taken from the records. One of these lend
transactions of English is thus described by
Capt. J, Bieler, one of the victims:
200 of James Frank. These were part of a
large tract over which I afterwards discovered
William H. English had a “blanket-mort-
gage.” When I discovered this I offered to
pay English my pro rata share, but he re—
fused to take it, saying the mortgage was not
due until 1880., Of the $2,200 I agreed to
give for the lots I paid $1,600, and gave
notes for the balance; these notes were
afterwards transferred to English, who sued
me for them because -I refused to pay more
unless I could get a clear title to the land.
English obtained judgment against me, sold
the lots and bid them in himself for $1,600
and obtained a personal judgment against me
and $1,600. and I had nothing.
Charles W. Moody, formerly a prominent
druggist of Indianapolisgafter describing his
ruin atthe hands of English, added, “he is a
wolf in human form ;" when I could pay no
more I begged him on the court house steps
to be lenient with me and I would pay as
soon as possible, and he (English) replied—
theae are the exact words: “If you don't
hurry up and pay me faster, I will drive you
tohcll and gone.” '
Mr. English has for many years been re-
ported to be avaricious, grasping and exact-
ing to the last degree. This report more than
conduits the unenviable reputation. The
party that pretends to .fight cormorants and
defend poor men presents a singular spectacle
with a. king cormorant and fleecer of poor
men at the tail of its kite. But such is de-
- _ mocracy.

for the balance, so that he had back my lots .

John Smith is dead. That a... young man,
We'll never see him more;
He was a member of our club
Since 1864.
His private virtues were immense,
His manners free and bind:
He wore a paper collar
And was never known to muff.
His nose was Roman and his eyes
Continually were peeled;
He made a splendid . umpire
And a beautiful Ie't field.
Though not a matrimonial man,
He dearly loved a match,
And, like his sister, had but few
Superiors on the “catch.”
But he is gone. With ins and outs ,
Forever he is done.
He broke his heart and burst his spleen
In making a home run.

"It is not my business”
Awealthyman in St. Louis was asked
to aid in a series of temperance meetings,
but he scornfully refused. After being further
pressed, he said: A '
‘ “Gentlemen, it is not my business, ”
A few days after, his wife and daughter
were coming home on the lightning express.
In his grand carriage, with liveried atten-
dants, he rode to the depot, thinking- of his
splendid business, and planning for to mor-
row. Hark! did some one say “accident 7"
There are twenty'ifive railroads centering in
St. Louis. If there has been an accident, it
is not likely it has happened on the
and Mississippi Railroad. Yet it trouble I '
him. “It is his business" now. The horses
are stopped on the instant, and upon inquiry
Fire finds it has occurred twenty-five miles
distant, on and Mississippi. He tele-
graphs to the superintendent:
“I will give you five hundred dollars for
an extra engine."
The answer flashes hack—“no.”
“I will give you one thousand dollars for
an engine."
“A train with surgeons and nurses has
already gone forward, [and we have no
other.” '
'With white face and anxious brow, the
man paced the station to and fro. “It is his
business" now. In a half' hour, perhaps,
which seemed to him a half century, the
train arrived. He humed towards it, and-in
the tender found the mangled and-'lifelesr -
forms of his wife and one of his daughters.
In the car following lay his other daughter,
with her dainty ' ribs crushed in, and her
precious life oozing slowly away.‘
'A quart of whisky, which was drank fifty
miles away by a railroad employee, was the
cause of the catastrophe.
Who dares say of this tremendous question

The Poor Man’s Friend Again.
The Cincinnati Commercial publishes the
afldavit of John Smith, an Irishmanwho“
was in the employ of the street railway corn; ’
pany of which Mr. English, the democratic
candidate for vice president, was president.
While thus employed his child was run over-
b‘y a car of the railway company and killed.
English proposed ~to leave the amount of
damages to the Catholic priest who awarded
$1,000. He would not accept the denision',
and Smith was forced to proceed to law. ,
For the purpose of wearing out Smith, who
‘ was a poor man, English had the ease trans'4
ferred to another county, where he got‘twb,
postponements. What occurred after we‘ .
. will quote from the afildavit : ' '
“Before it came up the third time Iwaa
I sitting on my dray'at the corner of Pennsyl‘e
'vania and Washington streets, by Fletcher
& Sharpe’s bank, when Mr. English came
along and said: ‘Herel Smith, we'ou'ght to
settle this matter and not be lawing about it;
you can’t afford it.’
I told him he had never done as he agreed
to, and the court would have to decide.
He then said: ‘I’ll settle with you if yes; . ’
come ,. down street," when I again said the
.Iawye‘rs would ’tend to the matter. ‘
At that he became quite excited, and said :
‘D—n the Irish 1 This country would have
been better off without them,’ and added;
‘Look here once more ': I will settle with you
but not for a thousand dollars. You set too
high a price on your d—d young one, and
I can bring witnesses to prove in any court
that she never made you a dollar.’
Itold him that if I was a poor man my
child was as good as his, and jumped ofl
my dray to hit him and, the crowd inter-
fered.
Mr. English then went to my wife, when
I was away at work, and said my lawyers
concluded to pay $1,000, provided she
would take $250 in street our tickets, and
that he would pay the costs of the suit. She
agreed to that and signed a release, but I
never signed it, because I was not satisfied
with such a settlement, and of the way I had
been treated. The whole expenseto me was
over $1,000 caused by the postponement,
and I had to sell a little house to pay my
witnesses and expenses, aside from attor-
neys' fees.

Mrs. Chisolm’s Plea for Garfield.
Chicago Tribune.
We are permitted to make the following
extracts from a letter ' written by Mrs.
Chisolm to a friend in Wisconsin. The let-
ter has a special significance just now. It is
a woman's plea for the election of Garfield
—the plea of a woman who' has, through
suffering and somow, earned the right to
speak. Under date of Scions, Penn., July 30,
Mrs. Chisolm writes:
"I received a letter today from a friend
in the South enjoining me not to fail to keep
before these who will use it the fact that
there is a petition prepared and signed by all
the democrats of Kemper County to have
all concerned in the murder of the 29th of
April, 1877, pardonedlwithout a trial. This
petition is not to be presented until winter.
' Two Generals of the Union Army are in the
field for election to the Preidency. On the
one side I, a miserable, lonely woman, _
without practical friends, however much
sympathy I may receive, and made a wan-
derer upon the face of the earth, with .
wrongs unredressed, waiting, praying and
watching, almost hoping that in the election
of General Garfield I may have some hope of
justice. 0n the other hand, the modem“
of my poor son—my Mr boy. my tender,
loving daughter, and my with husband—

then apply the sponge of executive pa-uon.

you from the ground whe:e life's blood was
pelt ed out? My dear air, can you not
arouse the people 1’ They must be only
sleeping.
“Are all the sacrifices that have been done

ment, on the top of which is the drooping
form of an angel, with head bowed in weep.
