THURSDAY MORNING, APRIL 25.
Last week was very eggs-hausting to the
grocery man.
They have a ball nine of Chinamen in
Hartford, and they drive the ball about the
field with their queues.
“Saved by his watch.” —The handiest
thing on the whole. It is a little chilly yet
to dispense with your overcoat.
Is the Stager named for President of tho
Western Union Telegraph Company a rela
tive of the “Oid Stager” we used to hear of?
Osman Pasha made a satisfactory umpire
at a base ball game in St. Louis. If Turkey
could only have ex-Ported him a little
sooner.
A fire company in North Carolina hires
a brass band to play at fires. You see, the
band plays on its bugles and the company
plays on the fire.
A lion has broken loose down in Maine,
a herd of elephants have bad a fight in
Virginia, and on the whole the advertising
business of circuses is good.
Moody says “when you get all the people
praying against you that you may stop ’ it’s
time to stop. The first preacher of the gos
pel that ever found that out.
The government has sent a few plug hats
and striped trousers to the Crow Indians;
but furnished them no ilour, sugar or cof
fee, and that’s what “Mr. Lo” is Crow Sing
about.
If, when Cleopatra started to meet Mark
Antony she had done as she should, and
taken her knitting with her, those needles
would not hare remained to create the
trouble they have.
Says Showman Barnum: “You can’t
make animals drink whisky. They know
better.” Perhaps, like some people, they
have been humbugged too many times by
Barnum’s “What-is-it.”
As long as there’s some question whether
it’s safer to put one’s spare change in a sav
ings bank or invest it in a manufacturing
cornoration, the suggestion is made that it
be given to the newspapers.
The Fall River corporations seem to be
under the impression that it is economy to
reduce their help to starvation wages, and
then to let their managers swindle them out
of a cool half million right before their eyes.
It is said that General Graut’s recognized
companions de voyage are a pocket pistol
and a box of cigars. There should be added
a small scrap of paper bearing date of the
next presidential election iu the United
States.
The President has nominated ex-Con
greesmau George L. Smith of Shretesport,
La., to the collectorship of New Orleans. It
looked one while as if the President would
have to go out of the state to find some ode
upon whom the Wells and Packard factious
could compromise.
“Babbaba Frietchie” is under discus
sion again. It seems there was no “attic
window” in the bouse where she lived, that
she was so lame that she couldn’t have
climbed the stairs if there bad been any to
climb, that she didn’t own any flag herself
and wasn’t on borrowing terms with the
neighbors, and —in fact, that there never
was any “Barbara Frietchie.”
Pbesident Hayes’s civil service letter
number two: “I expect to contribute my
proportion to the campaign expenses, and
there will be no objections if others bolding
office do the same. In fact I should be
pleased if they would do so.” Letter num
ber three may be expected to read somewhat
as follows: I expect office holders to run
oar elections—by fair means if possible, but
at all hazards run them.
The Massachusetts House Judiciary Com
mittee has reported the new draft of a bill
relating to conveyances, gifts and contracts
between husband and wife. It limits con
veyances from husbands to wives to wearing
apparel and personal ornaments necessary
for the personal use of wives, and allowing
these articles to be their separate property.
The effect of such a bill would be to add
considerable strength to the movement for
“Woman’s Rights,” for quite a good many
men. would ha without a costly residence and
a fast horse today if they were deprived ot
the privilege of conveying such things to
“tbo bettor half when the exigencies of the
case demanded it.
The Massachusetts Legislature has in
definitely postponed action on the amend
ments of the dog law. This action will be
regretted by the few remaining sheep raisers
in the state, and by those persons who are In
a state of mental fright lest they should have
an attack of the rabies, produced by the bite
of some unmuzzled and unrestrained cur.
Really, when it is considered that, in 1840,
the neighboring state ol Connecticut had
400,000 sheep and now inventories less than
5000, and that the decline of sheep culture
in Massachusetts is fairly represented by the
same figures, it seems as though the Great
and General Court ought to "wool It,” and
bear down on the canine race just a little
more.
Representative Mellen of this city,
who during his two terms of service in the
Legislature has interested himself success
fully in helping to solve labor questions,
has prepared a bill on the difficult subject
of providing for the education of factory
children. The bill is very generally approved
and is said to stand a good chance of pass
age. It provides that no children under 14
years of ago shall be employed in a mercan
tile or manufacturing establishment or shop
without a certificate from the School Com
mittee of the city or town of ability to read
and write. This certificate shall be retained
by the employer, and be open at all times to
the inspection of the truant officers. Parents
and employers convicted of violating the
law will be subject to a fine of not less than
S2O or more than SSO.
When a corporation or a large business
concern is formed a board of directors is
appointed whose duties are to look after the
interests of the stockholders. The directors
are men of large business experience, hold
ing the confidence of the public and they
are unhesitatingly trusted. It is now be
coming more and more evident that directors
are in the habit of repaying the trust be
stowed upon them by simply allowing their
names to appear in print and be mentioned
in conversation as directors of this or that
concern. They take little concern iu the
business which they have been chosen to
overlook, and employ some smart manager
of good standing in society and well favored
with recommendations to act in their stead.
At stated times direciors hold their meetings
and receive the report from their manager
that things are prosperous and running
smoothly. They care not or have not the
time to examine the business, much less the
book accounts. Meanwhile temptations
arise in the path of the smart manager and
the corporation’s money invites his use fur
private objects. He will take a little to se
cure a paying speculation or bridge over a
pressing necessity. He commits the theft
knowing full well that no special invesliga
tion of his affairs will be made, and his re
port at a directors’ meeting can be fixed
with very little trouble to read satisfactorily.
‘‘Small beginuidg, make big endings” In
defalcations as well as other things,
and the smart manager becomes
more and more daring iu his
thefts, and finally lays himself open to the
suspicion of a not over particular director.
A superficial investigation is made, and
the directors awake to the unpleasant fact
that by their owu negligence they have been
swindled. Now the public blame the man
ager or the treasurer of the concern, but
really the blame should attach itself to the
directors, who have allowed the trust placed
iu their hands by confiding stockholders to
be usurped and misused by a smart man
ager. Wheu directors are more faithful to
tbeir trusts there will be less heard of defal
cations and swindles in banks and corporate
coucerns. One lesson of the Fall River
frauds shsuld be learned by directors.
The confession by McLin and Dennis of
the election frauds in Florida is slighted by
the Republican press considerably because
it has created little surprise, especially iu
Washington. The fact of the frauds had
long since established itself pretty firmly in
the belief of the vast majority of the Amer
icau people, and confession of crime is not
unexpected but rather looked for in crimin
als. So then there is no occasion to be
startled because McLin and Dennis have
been pricked in conscience and led to con
fession. Of course the coufessiou is open to
the charge of being wrested from unwilling
mouths and written by unwilling hands
under Democratic threats or to the even
more probable charge of vengence for the
rejection of a judgeship nomination; but
we are inclined to believe it was written
simply from “a sense of what is due to the
cause of truth and justice,” and the people
know that the truth and justice is there,
even if the sense is wanted in the confessors.
It is not supposed that the confession will
cause any general revolution. Its only pos
sible immediate effect would be in conuec
nection with the Blair scheme of dethrone
ment, which, while a deserving move, is not
very strong, as the business of the country
and the prosperity of our people Is about
like the condition of a convalescing patient,
to whom the physician says agitation
would be decidedly daugerotts. But the
confession will emphasize the determiaation
of the masses to visit a general dethrone
ment upon the Republican party when in
course of time election days come round.
The party, whose sinews of war are the
contributions of its office-holders, whose
hirelings confess its frauds and whose life
has long been sustained by a policy of bate
and dead Issues, is dyiag (at a rate which
will only be accelerated as .crimes are con
fessed. There Is, however, one view of the
confession, taken by Republican papers,
that is a little amusing. They say that
both McLin and Dennis are bad men and
their confession is not worth much. Tho
Republicans thought these two fellows very
good men, a precious pair Indeed, only
about a year ago. Now then oue ot two
thiugs must bo certain—McLin and Dennis
good a year ago and bad today have been de
filed by the Republican party, or McLin and
Dennis good today and bad a year ago assist
ed In the defilementot the Republican parly.
Io either case It doesn’t look very cheerful
for the Republican party.

The above work from the pen of a we 1
known historical writer Is full of valuable
Information, presented In a popular style,
WORCESTER DAILY PRESS: THURSDAY, APRIL 25.
and tbo answer to any question which may
be asked concerning any historical subject
can be fuund in the book. The author does
not content himself with a mere dry state
ment of facts, but sketches the life and
manners of the various nation, of which
he treats, iu life-like colors, and presents to
the reader the causes which led to the pros
perity and decay of th* great powers of the
world. He shows us the various great men
—the warriors, statesmen, poets, sages, and
orators —of ancient and modern times, and
makes them familiar to the reader; he ex
plains the secret motives of their actions,
and points out the lessons which tbeir Ilves
teach. A valuable feature of the bo>k is a
full history of the late war between Russia
and Turkey. The mechanical execution of
the book deserves tbo highest praise. It
contains 1200 large double column pages,
printed iu the clearest and most beautiful
style on paper of the very best quality. The
book is embellished with over 050 fine en
gravings, embracing battles and ether histo
rical scenes; portraits of the great men of
ancient and modern times; and views of the
principal cities of the world.

How many people are there who could

As for Beecher, he has throughout acted

contriving every underhand means to make
a sensational public scandal of a secret sin
which he had long condoned and pretended
to be anxious to conceal.— St. Paul (Minn.)
Pioneer-Press.
Of course the Senate will be against the
Republicans in the next Congress, but Mr.
Hayes is one of those Republicans who think
the lower House may be recaptured by a des
perate effort next Fall. To this end he is
willing to contribute personally and to relax
his regulations for office-holders, so that the
rank and file may come down to the desper
ate exigency. Ilia views in regard to the
officeholder iu politics are undergoinggradual
modification.—Utica Observer.
Fairly assessed, an income tax is the fair
est of all taxes. But iu the present state of
public morality a fair assessment Is an im
possibility. If every citizen subject to tax
ation could be compelled to disclose the true
state of his income, there might be no hard
ship. But no inquisitorial power has yet
been invented to secure that result; and the
means necessarily adopted to secure an ap
proximate return are always odious aud
offensive to honest men,—for they have to
pay the penalty of dishonesty in other men.

If death by drowning be inevitable, as in
a shipwreck, the easiest way to die would be
to suck waler into th-; lungs by a powerful
inspiration, as soon as he went beneath the
surface. A person who bad the courage to
do this would probably become almost im
mediately unconscious and never rise to the
surface. As soon as the fluid filled his lungs,
all feelings of chilliness and pain would
cease, the indiscribable semi delirium that
accompanies ai te.thesla would coine ou,
with ringing iu the ears and delightful vis

to himself to be gently sinking to rest ol the
softest of beds aud with the most delightful
