HOW 1T RUNS IN THE BLOOD.

At the great Federal hard cider humbua
held in this city OIL the 4th OF June last
young Mr.. Webster, son Of Daniel Web.
ster. of Massachusetts, was present and made
a speech. A federal correspondent. writing
to Il Federal paper (the Alias in Boston
saws that "the convention gave three cheers
To young Webster, and then hree cheers FOR
THE BLOODr'
The s.blood" thus cheered by the members
of the Federal hard cider convention is Of
course that which runs in the veins Of Dan.
iel Webster. of Massachusetts. What did
this 'blood' do during the last war, when a
sa1guinary foe WIS marching through the
country. carrying fire and sword in every d.
~rectinn, even TO the heart of the Capitol OF
the United Statesl How did Daniel Web.
stcr vote, we ask. during that war, in the
hottest part Of which Gen. Harrison resign.
ed:
On the eth January, 1914, Mr.. Webster,
in Congress, voted against an appropriation
20 deiray the expenses Of the Navy!
On the 10Th of the same month. he voted
against a proposition 10 detect and punish
traitors.
On the l4th, against making provision Ia
I'LL the ranks OF the army.
On the e3rd, against raising troops for .
years.
On The 2sth, against a n~on-importa,ion
law.
o. the 9th February, against raising five
regiments oi riflemen.
On the e9rh. acarns, a bill to execute the
laws and reprl invasion.
On tho o ( Daramher AGAINST n hill IN roise
a revenue for the Government, and maintain
the pu'lic credit.
On the 10Th. against a bill for IN appro-
p~riatinn to rebuild the Capitol, after it had
been burned by the enemyM!
This same Daniel Webster is now the
right hand man Of General Harrison-the
guardian of his military fame-and is TO be
his Secretary Of State, and actual President.
should Harrison be elected; OF which by the
way, there is not much prospect.

Precision OF THoUGHr.-Without this the
mind is not exercised. and knowledge is
not gained. Many when called to give a
definite account. can do nothing but hesitate
and stammer. Why? Because their impress.
sions are general and underlined.
Definitions are pivots of knowledge. He
who has got the definition, has got all; and
he who has not got a definition, las got all
and he who has not got Il definition, has go,
nothing bat an indefinite approximation to
knowledge. " ithout precision OF thought
it is impossible to define. Conceptions may
be pourd out clear and beautiful rs a brook
running through 4 meadow; there will be
but little power. Light must be brought ID
a focus, to burn. Nothing hut labor in the
workshop of thought and words, can over
come the in corrigible propensity of mind to
take the easy course Of pressing our words te
one idea.

having been taken by the Allies, but this
report the editors Of the Herald believe to
be premature.
A Bristol paper Of the 18th ult. says
that this news, so unfavorable to the hopes

rise than a decline in the funds at the
Bourse, as those decisive events were
thought likely to facilitate an arrangement,
without all appeal to arms.
