Beecham himself, rubbing his hands, "to receive such a token of respect from the leading member of the flock." And certainly no more perfect representation of a bell-wether ever adorned any shepherd's sanctuary. Mr. Copperhead, to whom so much allusion has been made, was a well-known man in other regions besides that of the Crescent Chapel.
And the Western Union, in the endeavor to protect its private lines, became involuntarily a bell-wether to lead capitalists in the direction of the telephone. Sanders's relatives, who were many and rich, came to his rescue. Most of them were well-known business men the Bradleys, the Saltonstalls, Fay, Silsbee, and Carlton.
A scandalous hag with her bell-wether voice and airs of a great lady! What has she to do with good women, well brought up?

This condition of things actually exists in Europe at present I call it the moral hypocrisy of the commanding class. In cases, however, where it is believed that the leader and bell-wether cannot be dispensed with, attempt after attempt is made nowadays to replace commanders by the summing together of clever gregarious men all representative constitutions, for example, are of this origin.
