The SEASONS. has been proved by
statistics that the healthiest quarter of
the year is that ending with June 80.
The unhealthiest is that which imme-
diately follows, and terminates with Sep
tember 80. DIR. Samuel Rogers, an emil
nens English lecturer, attributes the in
creased mortality at that time to exces-
sive hest and sun-stroke. The best RENE
dy against these evils are taught by the
Indians, to wit: "To keep the body wet
and cold by the external appliances of
water" DIR. Rogers argues that the use
of fannels in hot weather is a mistake,
and believes in free, but judicious use
of cold water, both internally and ex-
ternally. He expresses the opinion that
an ordinary observance of the simple
rules of hygiene, aud proper caution
in matters of diet, will insure and pre-
serve good health, under ordinary cir
cumstances, during the most trying pc
riods of the year.

R- To see General Sprague, Sena-
tor Sprague, and the millionaire
Sprague as he sits in Congress, would
probably be a disappointment to you.
We build out of our notions of warrior,
rich man, and politician, the figure of q
large, broad-shouldered, full-stomach-
ed man, with gold seals, look of COM
mand, and a commercial manner of ex-
pediting business. Mr.. Sprague is al
together different. You see little,
narrow -shouldered, smooth-faced boy,
not over FIVE feet five inches high, with
an eye-glass, bashful manner, quite
alone and reserved, sitting in des-
ponding way low in his chair, tearing
up bits of paper, and having the ap-
pearance of young divinity student.
No enthusiasm, corresponding to his
boyishness is revealed in his face. He
and Senator Ross, who sits behind him,
are the least frequent speakers in the
House. We have got over the notion
of expecting much from him, and we
say Little Rhody" and Little
Sprague," like correlative terms. 1t
was, therefore, with surprise that, last
Friday, we saw this quiet little man
come out in the aisle and tackle the
great legal question of the tenure of of
fee, with an original and vehement ag-
gressivensss, which was as strange in
manner as it was inexplicable in mo-
tive. There he had been sitting si-
lent during seven years. Now he rose
and delivered an attack upon the age,
the law, the Constitution, the war, the
Senate and human society. There has
been nothing ike it exempli6ed in histo-
ry or in fiction, except, perhaps, the
celebrated revolt of Oliver Twist
against Noah Claypole and Bsadle
Bundle. So incongruous, so queer,
and yet so suggestive speech l have
never heard delivered in the Senate. 1t
was so odd that Nye's review Of it
which followed seemed very dry hu-
NOR, the subject he aimed to ridicule
being humorous beyond satire. The
manner of Senator Sprague, in making
this speech, was aggressive and spirit
ed, like one long restive under the chat
ing of invisible woes. He walked in
to the aisle, looked squarely into the
faces of those whom ne supposed his
various periods fitted, and made such
astonishment as he progressed that
blank faces greeted his peroration,
which not even Nye could stir with 8

did you old fellow? Can I pass for
one OF the tittle ones, though. with my
six-feet-two?' Then he went on talk
ing about being little, and the kingdom
of heaven, until We almost feared his
mind was wandering; but perhaps it
was only finding its way home. i do

took place on the cars, is too good to
be lost: One of a couple of Teutonic
gentlemen, sitting in one end of car,
seeing 'fiashy' dressed fellow come

Prussian oordiality.

Our Ambassador at the Court Of
Berlin, the historian Bancroft, gave
dinner on the 4,h of March, In honor
Of General Grants Inauguration as
President Of the United States
Among other notables, Count Bis
marck, the Prussisn Premier, was
present, who delivered the following
grand little speech:
"Permit me, gentlemen, to inter-
rupt your conversation while say q
word about the occasion which has
brought us together. This is the
day upon which. on the other side Of
the Atlantic, the victorious comman-
der in the service of the United
States, has special claim on the
sympathetic interest of this country,
for it was King of Prussia, it was
Frederic H., who, at the birth of the
great American Republic, was the
first among the non -belligereuts to
recognize its independence. AS to
our subsequent relations with the
United States, it gives me the great.
est pleasure to be able to state as a
fact, not only from my personal ex-
perience as Minister of Prussia, but
from the archives Of our history,
that the cordial understanding in
augurated by Washington and Fred
eric has never suffered the slightest
alteration. Not only has no Difficult
ty ever arisen between the two coun-
tries, nothing has ever occurred be-
tween them which so much as called
for an explanation. 1t is then to me
most agreeable as well as an ap-
propriate duty to call on you to unite
with me in drinking in German wine
the health of the President of the
United States, General Grant"
These sentiments, says the State
Journal, coming from the real ruler of
the strongest power in Europe, one
who is conceded to be the first of liv-
ing statesmen, should arouse feel
ings of grateful satisfaction in the
hearts of Americans. Bismarck has
labored for German unity with
more wonderful success even than
we have labored for American unity.
He believes in one strong central
Government for the German States,
government strong enough to con-
troll the governed and protect the
governed. He has put an end to the
petty wars and perpetual disputes
that have distracted the German
States. And so has Grant perform
ed a similar work here. If Union is
good for US, it is good for Germany
or for Italy.
Our bonds of sympathy for Prus.
sia are much stronger than they are
usually supposed. We have the
same protestant religion and the
same system Of schools-our own
magnificent school system being bor-
rowed from that of Prussia. In no
country on the Continent do we find
the standard of morality so high or
the average of intelligence so high
as In Prussia. The largest portion,
if not the best portien of our Ger
man population, is from those States
now embraced within the limits of
Prussia, and this large element in our
midst are united to their adopted
land and to Faith erland by the bonds
of interest and affection. May these
ties grow stronger as these two great
Nations grow older.

TOUCHING INcIDENT.-We recently
heard remarkable and touching story
of little boy. the son of gentleman
in an adjoining county. His age is
twelve or thirteen. He is an interest
ing and promising lad. One day dur
ing last winter he failed to rise in the
morning as early as usual. At length
his father went into the room where he
lay, and asked him why he did not get
up. He said it seemed dark yet, and
he was waiting for daylight. His faith
er retired, but the boy did not make
his appearance for some time "My
son, why don't you get up?" He re-
piled, Father, is it daylight" Eyes,
long ago." "Then, father" the little
fellow said, 81 am blind" And so it
was--his sight was gone.
In ashort time, his father took'him
to Nashville to get the benefit of the
medical profession there; but none of
thephysicians could do any thing for
him, and happily made no experiments
on his eyes. Some ladies in family
of his fathers acquaintance sought to
cheer him in his afflictlon, and one
night proposed to take him to the op-
era, that he might hear the music and
singing. He went, and was delighted.
In the course of the performance, all at
once. he leaped up and threw his arms
about his fathers neck, and screamed
with ectasy, "Oh, father, l can see! |
can see!" His sight had instantly re-
turned. And since then he has re-
tanned it in full vigor, except that, un-
der excitement, there is sometimes a
transient dimness of vision.-N T.
