WE WILL LIFT A LITTLE"

IdFr little Lift little
Nelghbor, lend 4 helping hand
To that heavy-ladcn brother,
who for weakness, scarce can stand.
What TO thee. with thy strong muscle,
Seems a light and easy load,
Is TO him q pOndrous burden,
Cumbering his pilgrim road.
Lin a little LIN little
Effort gives one added strength:
That which staggers him when rising,
Thou canst hold al arme full length.
Not his fault that he is feeble,
Not thy praise that thou art strong;
II is God makes lives to differ,
Some from wailing, some iTom song
LIN little Lift little
Many they who need thine aid;
Many lying on the roadside,
Meath miefortune's dFeary shade.
Pass not BY, like Priest and Lsvite,
Needless Of thy fellow man
But with heart and arms extended,
Be the Good Samaritan,

THE following is from a New York letter to

was quite impressively reminded o few
days since, Of the "battles ofthe giants" that
used to give interest, if not dignity, to the
political controversies of past generation; by
meeting and being introd uced to the Hon.
Eaos Il. Throop, one of the ex-Governors of
New YoIk. He is fine looking old gentle
men, with benignant face, and long white
locks, that give him truly patrarchal appear
ance, yet he looks as If he might have some
years of enjoyable life before HIM in this world,
ere he is summoned to q better. In looking
upon the venerable man, the idea most promi.
nent to my mind was. "How eyanescent are
political distinctions! Here is a man who was
once Chief Magistrate of the richest, most pop
ulous, and most puissant State in the Union,
and yet / doubt if one in twenty of the present
population of that State are aware of the fact,
or even know that such man ever existed"
Yet it is only thirty eight years ago that he
was inaugurated Governor. His term came
between Martin Van Burens and William l..
Marcy's though in the vacancy occasioned BY
the resignation of the former, Mr. Throop, by
virtue OF his Office as Lieutenant Governor, be-
came Governor de Jacto in 1929. How few of
his cotemporaries are now on the stage of ac-
tioni And of the thirteen Governors who have
filled the executive chair since he sat in 1t, six
have already gone to ''the silent land" The
survivors are VIM. III. Seward, Hamilton Fish T,
Horatio Seymour, Myron I'll. CLARK, Edwin d.
Morgan, Reuben Il. FentOn and John T. Hon.
man, the present incumbent. With the excep-
ton OF Fish, who is United States Senate
and Hoffman, these men are all at present our
poltical life, but how soon the whirligig ofpoii-
tics may bring them into 1t again, 1t is not sac
of to prediet-exespt indeed for Seward, who is
probably sufficiently wearied of public life to
retire to TIE shades Of his Sweet Auburn"
and with his fragrant Havana between his
lips, mediate ON the ingratitude OF republics.
think Seymour, also, may be safely counted
out. BE is constitut.onally, and by education
as well, an aristocrat, and very proud one at
that-his pretended Democracy Is the merest
sham, not even skin deep-and having once
er would consent to run for a less prize; and
his disastrous defeat on that occasion, will ef-
fectually prevent his ever being put ON the
course again for the same. He may, therefore
be reasonably regarded as superarpuated
politician, permanently laid in hospitai.

THE EXTRACTION OF TEETH by THE USE
OF NIXTRoUs OXIDE OR LAUGHING GAS.
The question Of the efficacy to the pure Nit
rous Oxide Gass, as used BY the Cotton Dental
Association in the extraction of teeth, is be-
yond peradventure. Not only is it safe
and pleasing an9sthetic in dental operations,
but in minor and capital surgical operations
its use is strongly recommended by such emf
nent authority as DR.. j. NJ Carnochan, sur
geon-inchief to the New York State Hospital,
and Dr. III. III. Warner, surgesn to the New
York Dspensary. By its use in dental oper
aiions. ether and chloroform will be suppressed
ed as the gas is considered far superior an
safer, and is especially recommended for the
healthy and normal condition in which it
leaves the patient. Recently, a lady desiring
an operation performed, had the gas admin
istered to her by DIR. Cotton; she was under
IFS effects too minutes and hall, during that
time nine teeth were extracted, the process Of
extracting requiring the incredibly short
space OF only one minute and a quarter. On
recovering from the effects OF the gas the
lady was astonished to find that what she had
dreaded and looked upon as very painful
operation for long time had been accom-
plished without her knowledge, and stated
that the only sensation she experienced was
that OF enjoying pleasant ride. The gas is
entirely harmless when pure, the effect OF II
when inhaling it is pleasant, and the most
nervous person can take it without any disa-
greeable results. 1t is certainly a discovery
of priceless value to sufferers. Those who,
while in the dentists chair, inhale 1t, are en-
tousiastic in its praise, however sceptical they
may previously have been. 1t is apparent
that with the Nitrous Oxide the dentists Of
fee is robbed OF all its terrors and horrors

A NEW KIND OF CooPERATIoN'-A direct
importation of tea from China to Chicago has
commenced, but it differs from ordinary i'm
portations, inasmuch as retail dealers club
together and order few chests each, by
which means they expect to be able to sell
such tea as is sold for 81 so or 81 Is for less
than 81. This is species of cooperative i'm
portation, and perhaps it contains the germ of
a vast trade. Now that intercourse with
China is so easy, we may look for great
changes. The tea may be good or bad, but
the trade promises to form the basis of social,
religious and political movements.-N. Y.

WOMAN AS NHMRoD'-Buffalo shooting ON
the plains must be famous sport, unless the
letter-writers are all Munchausens. The
heroine of one story is Sophie Tallmadge, Of
Columbus, Ohio, who was in the party of Gen.
Custar, Lord Paget and Waterpark, and
Others swells "Ten miles OF prairie land"
says the account "had been ridden over when
Custar gave the view halloo, and the entire
party charged upon and scattered a herd Of
DuIlaioes that appeared to the westward.
foremost in the wild dash the fleet courser of
Miss Talimadge bore her, until she found her
self ON the track of huge bull. Full five
miles OF the prairie the bay spurned beneath
his heels before the side of the old fellow was
reached. Two quick, well directed shots from
a Colts revolver, that Miss Salle carried
brought the bison to a halt. The big bull set
tied slowly to his knees, beloved and rolled
over-dead. Her blood was up. Quick as a
flash, she wheeled and made for second
quarry, another sharp gallop, three shots,
and the thing was over. Eighty buffalo were
slaughtered in this days hunt. Custar killed
nine, Lord Paget SIX and Lord Waterpark
five, but it may be easily imagined that Miss
Tallmadge was the heroine of the day."

The CATHOLIC CHURCH has begun a Wig
orous war upon the Knights of st. Crispin
according to tho advces from Canada we
published yesterday. 1t remains to be seen if
this will have any more effect than its cru
SADIE against Fenianism-a crusade which
more than any event of the times disclosed
the weak hold which the Papacy of the nine
teenth century has upon the Catholic mem
bership. Another Indication of the waning
strength of the Holy See-and very impor
tant one-is the apostacy of Father Hya-
cinthe the eloquent, almost inspired preacher
of Notre Dame, Paris. His protest against
the doctrines of the Pope and his subordt
mates has directed to him the eyes OF all
Christendom and made it extremely doubtful
if the representatives of the church will go TO
Rome this winter for the purpose OF register
ing the DEGREES of the Pope in the ecumenical
council and acknowledging his absolute su-
premacy. ir -e

MORE LIGHT ON THE PENNSYLVANIA
SrR1KE.-A correspondent ofthe World, call
ing himself" A Friend to the Miners, lets
the cat out of the bag in regard to the coal
strike in Pennsylvania last summer. He says
that the strike was all arranged beforehand
between the miners and the coal operators;
the former agreeing to quit work for the sake
ofdiminishing production, with an understand
ing that they should be better paid when they
went at it again. The miners kept their
part of the contract, but the capitalists broke
theirs, after they had profted by the strike
in the higher price focal. The first or show
strike lasted for thirty days; but when the
miners found themselves defeated by the cap
italists, with whom they had combi ned to
cheat the public, they struck in good earnest
and, of course, as the custom is, they injured
themselves by the strike. Now they are try
| ing to get back to work, but the ca pitalists
who can afford to wait, will not employ them
| at what, under the circumstances, are nail
rates. The whole affair shows THAT. there Il

an effort is made to read with glasses too strong
or too weak, a constant tension is kept u on the

The rules for accomplishing this object were first
devised by Professor Donders, of Utrecht, whose
method is the only one now in use. 1t is necessary
to ascertain first, at what distances Sneen's test

one minute, can be read. Prof. Donders proposes
that the point of distinct vision thus ascertain-
