The Presidents’ Message.
in his anrrual- message to Congress, Presi—
(ler‘ilaji-s pays a warm tribute to General
Grant and recommends that the ofi‘lce -of
Captain Gem rel of the Army be (treated for
him. He urges Congress to defend flu-
inviolnbility of tire Constitutional Amend
merits, and to lake rueasarts for the suppres-
sion of polygamy. He would have Congress
Governor and. Judges appointed by the,
Presld Int and confirmed by the Senate, and
Would make all persons practising or umold-
ing polygamy ineligible to vote, sit on juries
or hold ofiice in that Territory. He approves
of the workings of the present Civil Service
system, and recommends an annual approp.i
riation of $25,000 to defray the expense of a
competitive examinations. He wouldhave'r
each public officer free to express his politi-
cal opinions and to use his means for their
advancement, and also have him feel safe in
refusing all demands upon his salary for
political purposes. The first step in the re-
“a complete divorce between Congress and
the Executive in the matter of appoint—
men " ~ .
The right onus-United States to maintain
supervision over any interooeanic canal across
the Isthmus of Panama is reasserted. The
President recommends the further retirement
of the legal-tender notes and that the silver-
coinage law be changed to make the silver
dollar equal as bullion totthe gold dollar.

The Washington- Accrresp'on'd‘ence of the
Boston Journal furnishessa curious bit of
statistical information, the result of a study
of the figures furnished by Assistant Poet-
master General :Brady Sin ‘- his annual report.
It appears thht a comparisOn of the states
which choose~ Garfield electors with those
which went for Hancock, discloses the fact
that in the former‘the expenses for postal
service were more than paid for by the re—
ceipts, the excess being over two million dol-
lars, while in the latter there is a deficiency
of threeand a half millions. In other words
the Garfield states pay $1.08 on the dollar,
while the Hancock states fall far below par.
Of the Hancock states,-New Jersey and Del-
aware only pay for their postal service. 0f
the Garfield states, Iowa, Oregon, Vermont,
Ohio, Indiana, Minnesota, Kansas, Nebraska,.
and Colorado fail to pay for theirs. New
York pays a- surplus of $1,800,000 into the
treasury and Massachusetts $750,000. Ar.
kansas, California ‘and Texas carry 05 the
palm for their relative deficiencies the sums
being $500,000, $600,000 and $700,000 re-
spectively. .
General—Garfield’s Wife and
' Children.
(Mr. T. L. Nicol’s Sketch.) -
Mrs. Garfield is a very pleasant but not a
demonstrative woman. She is well educated
and appreciates the good things in literature
and art. She reads “solid” books, and the
magazines; looks well after the house and
teaches her own children; she is a “help?
meet” and an entertaining companion for her
husband, and abundantly able to entertain
his most intellectual friends and visitors. I
should think her most marked characteris-
tic is that of perfect attention to her own
business, and no meddling with other peo—
ple's. She is unostentatious. She refused
to allow her picture to be sold or her picture,
to be engraved, though earnestly pressed to
do so by photographers, engravers and by
many friends. I suspect she don‘t care to be
written about much either, and I don't wish
to do violenceto heridesire in..this respeetgby
extended commenter". ' _-‘ = “
The children are two boyE, one girl, and
two more buy 5. Their first child was a girl,
which died when a few monthsbld. Ieir
last one was a' boy-that died whcn'about two
years Old; Harry, the oldest living, is six-
teen; Abram, the youngest, is eight; "Jim"
is fourteen ; Molly, twelve ; and Irvin, ten
years old. Harryis alquiet, steady boy,very'
obedient and durifulf-particular‘ly respectful-
toward his parents and grandmother. The
writer had an opportunity of seeing a charac-
teristic letter which he wrote to his mother
shortly after the'Chieago- conventienchbga‘nd
“Jim" being in school at Concord, N. H., at
the time. He spoke.Of the fact that some of
his schoOlmates had manifested a great deal
more interest in himself and ‘fJinr” since
their “pa" was normal-ted for President. He
evidently thought thisi-h little snobby,- and
said he didn’t consider that they were a bit
bigger or better than they were before, and
that he would respect his father just as
much “even if he were nothing but a Con-
gressman all his life." He didn’t seem to
think it a very big thing to be a Congress-
man.
Jim is what is called a rollicking boy. He
is never known to be still unless asleep. Both
physically and intellectually he is very strong
and very quick. He masters his studies al-
most without effort and in incredibly short
time. At school he likes the gymnasium;
he excels on the trapeze and the springboard.
At home he stands on his head, walks on his
hands with his heels up, turns handsprings
and somersaults, and jumps tge fence in
preference to opening the gate. He is good
natured, kind hearted and accommodating;
and famous for, boyish devilment. Molly is
a rather quiet girl, with remarkable good
sense for her years; she keeps to her lessons
pretty close and plays the piano very well.
Irvin is the queerest genius .of the family,
though I don't know how to describe him.
“Abe" is an artist. He is always making
pictures, and seems to prefer drawings of
machinery. A train of cars is one of his
favorite drawings, and he will have the en-
gine, baggage and mail’ cars, the coaches and
sleepers, all so perfect that it would take an
expert to find a part left out.

Our Newest Vice.
No observer of our streets and stores for a
few weeks past, has failed to note the alarm-
ing increasc'of smoking among the young.
A cigarette seemlto find its way into al-
most every _b0y’s.1mouth and fr'equently one
is seen doing duty for a group of these as-
pirants to manly dignity. The cause if
this evil we do not seek. It may be due to
the freer range which the boys enjoyed
during tho campaign; it may be encouragCd
' by the cheapness cf the cigarettes, but
whatever be its source the vice is here, is
lpreading, and needs attention. We enter
upon a tobacco crusade here, but we are sure
an thinking men arewith us in opinion, that
for noboy,tobacco islittle less than poison,—
that it stunts his growth, derangcs his sys—
tem, and inducesjdiseasc, to say nothing of’
its pernicioui'aic-lfects. It draws him toward
fast habits, leads him to silly ideas of manli-
ness, and encourages a habit of expending
money uselessly, which nugnrs ill for the
boy’s future. Many a man indulges in habits
hard to justify, but few men are glad to see
their children follow them in evil. The man
who teaches his child to swear, is recognized
as a brute; he who teaches a child to drink
liquor reaches the dignity of a fiend . he who
instructs a boy in sensuous habits is despica-
ble beyond expression. Men who have rem-
nants of souls, even, are unwilling to encour-
age vice in the young.
We do, not place smoking on a par with
these, but childhood's smoking approximates
them' in evil consequences. It is, without
any fair doubt, the parent of other boyish
vices. Then let it have the attention it de-
serves from all good citizens.
“What are you going to do about it 1’"
Make these 'two suggestions: First, let our
dealers take the only proper stand in the
matter, and refuse to sell tobacco to small
boys. This had been done in some common-
ities. It ought to be done here. Second,
let parents open their eyes to the facts and
exercise their watch, care and authority to
prevent or ,overcom'e the vice. And let
them think once of the temptations to which
these boys are subjected, who roam our
streets at will and follow these habits, which
so surely discount the future. If they are,
much may be done ; if they are so stupidly
blind as to be careless in the matter, we can
only hope that the various moral agencies of
our community may be able to accomplish
more than we dare expect. —-Soutk Norwalk
Republican. ‘
John Sherman at Home.
From the Washington Republican we take
.the following account of the home life or
this great worker: “At home he is not the
secretary of the treasury nor the senator in
congress. He works hard, earnestly and to
good advantage, in order that he may get
through his task and leave his work behind
him. When he leaves his Eofiice at night he
leaves his table clear, and he begins the
next day with a blank sheet of paper. N oth-
in‘giscarried forward. At home he is the
m'ost'domestic-bf men. He is demonstra-
tiVe, he is considerate, he is thoughtful and
aflectionate. As he does not take his home
life to the department, so he does not take
his businéss to his home. His home in
Washington is on the most fashiohable street
in‘ the city. It fronts on Franklin thare
one of the loveliest little parks in the world,
and adjoins the old double mansions of the
late Secretary Stanton. It is of brick painted
brown, with brown stone facings and base—
ment. The windows are round and old—
fashioned, and the steps to the front door
are winding from the side, with iron rail—
ings. Inside, the house is very comfortably
and simply furnished. A few pictures,some
pretty ornaments and the usual tables, sofas,
chairs, etc., are in the parlor. The dining-
room, running across the end of the house, is
in the rear. The house would be considered
small for a secretary of the treasury, but ed-
mirable management and clever housekeep—
ing make the Sherman bodies pleasant one
to visit. The hospital .are mostly con-
fined to small receptioi' _ nd dinner parties.

ings at home, and with his wife, pursues
his reading. He is a great reader. He takes
a great: many papers and keeps well up with
currentcvents, and he is by no means ill-in-
formed of current literature. Everything
new on finance he grasps eagerly, but his
great passion seems to be the autobiogra-
phies of great men and the lives of those
who have made a stir in‘the world. He
often sits up late, but is always the first man
in:his oflice. He takes a little package of
lunch-with him in the morning, and never
leaves his room until four o’clock, unless
businesscalls him to the capitol or to the
white house. He leaves the office promptly
at four, when be generally takes a drive in
his ‘vic'toria,’ behindinn ordinary pair of
black horses. Mr. Sherman’s house in Mans-
field, Ohio, is more pretentious. It is of
brick, three stories high, with porches, go—
bles. balconies and creeping vines. It is in
the midst of beautifully laid grounds, well
kept and picturesque, and no comfort is
'lacking‘. Here are most of Mr. Sherman's

brothers have corresponded from the time
they were little boys, and John has every
letter that ‘Cumpy’ ever wrote to him.
They number thousands and make three
page volumes. These letters were written
from every place under the sun, from school,
ifornia, from :abroad, from héadquarters :in
the saddle, in camp, on drum-heads, and
from every place a soldier is likely to be—
written, too, with all the honest outpourings
of an anxious or a joyful heart, not for the
public, but for a second self.”
The “Peanut club” is a New York institu-
tion, The intention of the club is as follows:
Each member is supposed to carry a peanut
about his person, and whenever he meets an-
other member to take it out and show it to
him. If the latter does not forthwith pro-
duce his peanut and show it to the challenger
he is fined $1, which sum is deposited in the
club‘s treasury. When, a suficient amount
of money is accumulated a grand dinner is
indulged in. After a time a by law was
passed that only a challenge peanut, made of
ivory, should be ulbd, with the owners name
engraved upon it. Inst summer One .of the
members saw about a dozen others enjoying
a bath at Manhattan beach. With fiendish
delight he hurried and hired‘ a bathing suit,
and waded'out to them with his peanut, and

The Emperor’s Little story.
The Emperor William has returned frontal
hunting visit to Ludwigsinst. One day a Slug
was driven past him. He fired, but the stag
bounded away and was afterwards found
dead in the cover of the royal keepers. When
the sport was over the Emperor looked at
his game laid out as having been shot. by
him, and, pointing to the stag, asked, with a
smile, of the chief hunisman, if he had shot
that. particular deer. “Moat assuredly, sire,"
was the the answer. “Good,” replied the
Emperor. “Now let me tell you a little story;
Last year I was deer shooting in the Hertz,-
where everybody was extremely kind and‘_
polite toward me, which is, indeed, the case
everywhere. When'the first day’s shooting'
was over, twenty-three full-grown stags were
shown to me as my share in the sport. “Did
I shoot all these?’ I asked the upper for-
ester, who had charge of all the arrangements.
He repeatedly assured me that I had shot
em every one. I could not help laughing
as I told him that that was very odd,for that,
quite by chance, I had counted the cartridges
I had fired. They were sixteen in number.
How I had managed to kiiltwenty-three deer
with sixteen cartridges I must leave to him
to explain." ,

Arlventnrcs ofa Watch.
LOST a'r 'rrrs cuss-an arassaonii, noucirr raoar
A sronx AND Rsnroaan AT LAST.
Washington Star.
Strange things happen in this life. Here
is a curious story of a watch. General
Thomas L. Crittend , who is well known in
Washington, was nited States consul‘at
Liverpool in 1860. While there he bought a
watch for himself and one for his wife. His
only son, John J. Crittenden, entered the
army. To him General Crittenden gave the
Liverpool watch. Young Crittenden was not
in the cavalry, but volunteered to join Gen—
eral Custer. He was at the disastrous fight
on the Little Big Horn and was among the
many who died there. His parents recovered
no. trinket or apything that he had abOut
him. All who fell were plundered by the
Sioux. By strange and unexpected means
the watch which General Crittenden gave
his only boy has just been returned to him.
Under date of Portage La Prairie, April 28,
E. W. GigOi, of the Home Buy company,
wrote to General Sherman. In that letter
he said : “Some time in July last a go:d
watch was Offered for sale to me by a
French half-breed by name Of Scadieux.
This man stated that he had purchased the
watch from a Sioux Indian, who told him
that he had taken the watch from the Ameri-
can oflicer whom he had killed. Scadieux
was not sure whether it was at the Custer
fight, in the Roseboro’s valley, or at one of
the many skirmishes before or after it. The
watch is a gold hunting watch and bears the
name of the manufacturer, ‘Robert Roskell,
Liverpool,’ and is numbered 54.789. Think-
ing thatI might be the means of returning
this watch to the relatives of the poor fellow
who had been killed, I purchased it, paying-
only the small.sum of three dollars, this be-
ing the same amount as the half breed had
paid to the Sioux. The Watch is more or
less battered and the works are partly
destroyed, still the case is of 18 karat gold
and the gold value of it is from $25 to 330"
Mr. Gigot also said that he at once wrote to
Roskell do 00., to find out if possible to
whom they sold the watch. He received a
reply saying: “We have referred to our
books and find-that the gold hunting watch,
named Rob’t Roskell, Liverpool and number-
ed 54,789, alluded to in your letter of 17th
ultimo, was sold by us to a Mr. Crittenden,
July 15, 1850, and he bought a lady's
gold- watch at the same time. No address
unfortunately. is given in our books with the
purchaser's name. He mentioned the cir-
cumstances and showed the letter from the-
Liverpool firm to the Rev. Henfi George-
That gentleman told him that the name Criti
tenden seemed familiar, and that of some dis
tipguished oflicer in the United States army
during the late civil war. He next looked up
the United States consul at Winnipeg, who
told him that either a so. of Colonel or Gen-
eral Crittenden was killed by the Sioux at the
Castro massaercee. General Sherman was
away when the letter from Mr. Gigot detail-

onel John M. Bacon, his aide, replied, stating
thata son of General T. L. Cri tenden was
killed with General Custer and others,’ in

having been his son’s. Thcse facts were
known to Mr. Gigot. On the 18th of

An honest Galveston shoemaker was strol—
ing down the avenue when, peering into a
restaurant, what should he see but onerof
his fashionable customers seateg at a table
covered with all the delicacies of the season
including alargc bptileuf green seal and two
canvas—back ducks! Rushing in, the iriate
Galveston trademnn exclaimed. "You haven’t
got money to pay me for the boots you ii ve
have got .on, but you can afford to pay forall
manner of delicacies.” Tire young man
wiped his moustache, and looking around to
see that he was not overhead, responded in
a whisper, “Don’t be deceived by appear-
ances. You must not lOSe confidence in me.
I don’t expect to pay for this little banquet
any more than I expect to pay yoti for the
the boois.”-— Galveston News.
Here is a story‘they are telling just now in
London of a troop ship; In the brdies’ cabin
were four wash—basins, one of which was
much larger than the others. There were
three ladies in the cabin whose husbands
were about 'equalin rank. The women al-
ways think they have a right to presume 'on
choice of berths, etc., and there was a great
discussion as to who was entitled to the use
Of the big basin. It was refered to the pay
master of the ship, who could settle nothing
and eventually to the captain. He gave a de-
cision worthy of Solomon. After asking
them if they would abide his verdict and not
give any more trouble in the matter, which
thcyreadily agreed to do, he said it was only
fair that the oldest lady should have the big-
gest basin. That basin was never used dur-
ing the whole voyage out.

sums of the German and Russian rail mills
employ, it is stated, an ingenious method of
overcoming the dilliculty of cutting hot rails,
sothatthey may be all of the same length
when cold. According to this plan, the rails
are looked at through a dark glass; when
they have cooled to a certain temperature.
they cannot be perceived; and if, therefore,
a dark.blue or an orange-yellow glass is used
the rails may still be at a red glow but the
light radiated from them does not reach the
1 eye. It may be considered that the light
ham two rails, observed through the same
dark glass, disappears at the same tempera-
ture, and thus a rule is Obtained for cutting
the rails to the same perfect and identical
gu’age. This plan has been in use for a con-
siderable time with, excellent results.

“Pouring oil on troubled waters” is an old

breaking of the waves over a vessel at’ sea.
Some experiments with oil on waves were
lately made in England. Bottles filled with
oilwme sunk to the bottom of the harbor of
Peterhead in which the sea was breaking
heavily. The oil was then released, and
rising to the surface it exercised an immed-
iaie and magical effect in soothing the troub-
led waters. The sea lreame quite smooth '
and glassy looking, and there was a visible
softening down by the waves, which,in place
of being sharp-crested, were turned into
long undulating seas. The experiments
were so successful that the proposal to lay
oil upon the mouths of harbors by was of
pipes was discussed as a not very remote
project.
