GOOD WORDS . FOR WASHINGTON
' Improvement In Moral Tome of the
! Nation's Capital.
I
Gen. H. V-. Boynton, the veteran. Wash-
: Ington correspondent,- has . been for
; more than 30 years collecting news and
writing letters. Few men know so
: thoroughly as he the inside history of
I the capitol, the white house, and the
departments. Being asked what . he
considered the most important deduc
tion from his experience at Washington,
he answered:
"The . marvelous improvement in the
moral atmosphere, and the general tone
and honesty of the government. We,,
the people of the United States, -have
the most honest government in the
world. It ia and has been for many
years more honest than ever before,
and is to-day more honestly and effi
ciently administered than any private
business that I have ever examined. I
mean that there is less waste-and less
defalcation.
"Look at the great postal service, for
instance. Where in the world will you
find any private ageney which does so
much and does it so well, and at so little
cost? And change of parties makes no
difference. Thorough honesty is the
rule. , . sau.ii3rff!u
"The atmosphere of the white house
is pure beyond that of any royal resi
dence, and this is the most moral and
peaceable city In the United States, if
not in the world. It makes me laugh
when those good people come from New
York and Cincinnati and" away out west
to help reform Washington."
PERSECUTED IN AMERICA.
John Wesley Suffered for Refusing
Communion to a Woman.
Rev. W: J. Scott, D. D., writes of
"Wb tt John Wesley Preached in Geor
gia," in Ladies' Home Journal, and
from the famous preacher's journal
tells the story of his persecution in
Georgia, which ultimately resulted in
his quitting America and returning to
England in 1737. "During the after
noon before Wesley's departure he was
approached by the recorder of Savan
nah, who informed him that he must
not leave the province until he had
given bond in 50 sterling, and in ad
dition furnished, bail to answer Mr.
Williamson's charge. Wesley Respond
ed: ''I have given- him 'every oppor
tunity to malre good his accusation, but
he refused to do so; and now, sir,' he j
continued, with emphasis and firmness. I
l must insist that, as an olhoial, you
have treated me and the trustees of the
colony very ill. I shall neither give
bond nor bail. You know your busi
ness and I know mine."
" 'The same afternoon, he adds, 'I
shook the dust off my feet and left Sa
vanna!, after preaching there one year
and nine months,, not as I ought, but as
I was able." '
"The show made by his enemies of a
purpose to intercept him was a shal
low pretext, and is now so regarded.'!
Wesley's persecution was the out
come of his refusal to admit a woman
of his congregation to holy eummunion
without evidence of her repentance and
contrition.
DANGEROUS CATERPILLARS.
Armed with a Very Effective Weapon
for Defenac.
The caterpillar of the puss moth,
quite a common insect in this country, ,
has a most effective way of defending
himself, and may prove, as we -shall
presently see, dangerous even to hu
man beings, says a writer in Cham
bers' Journal. This well-protected cat
erpillar is provided between its head
and forelegs with a cleft, from which
it can protrude an organ capable of
squirting out a quantity of very acid.
fluid to a considerable distance, and
when alarmed it habitually makes use
of this formidable weapon.
In one of the entomological maga
zines a correspondent states that he
was observing some of these caterpil
lars in captivity, when he happened
to disturb one, and it suddenly squirt
ed out a quantity of fluid in a jet, whieh
struck one of his eyeballs, though his
head at the time was quite two feet
away from the insect. He rushed off
in great agony to a doctor, w"ho told
him that the eyeball was in a very dan
gerous condition. His eye was totally
blind for hours after the occurrence,
and it was some days before he finally
recovered. What the effect of this fluid
must? be upon smaller creatures we
leave our readers to imagine!
