A New York millionaire who was
an intimate friend Of the late Admir-
al Farragut, and who was with him
in the last moments, tells the follow
ing story A few hours before Farra-
gut died he told bis wife that he would
like to see a clergyman. There was
an Irish servant girl in the room at
the time, and before Mrs. Farragut
had time to comply with the Admir-
ais request the servant girl had a rO-
man Catholic priest at the bedside Of
the dying Admiral. He entered the
room unobserved by the Admiral,
and proceeded to perfOun the services
peculiar to his church. The Admiral
suddenly opened his eyes, looked
steadfastly upon the priest, waved his
hand, and said in a clear voice, "Go
away; sir you ara not my pilot"

Food for the Mind

Oar young people are too prone 70
feed their minds with plum cake, can
dies, preserves, and sweet pickles.
Good, wholesome bread and meat do
not satisfy them. The consequence is,
the mind soon refuses bread and meat,
and desires highly-splced food, and
at last only lives Oh unnatural stimu-
Iants until its power is utterly gone.
Story books, novels, exciting accounts
Of murder and crime, are to the mind
like cakes and sweetmeats to the body.
1t would be hr better to read nothing
than to read impure novels or brutal
accounts of murders. History, biOg-
raphy, and the writings Of eminent
holy persons, are to the mind Ike
bread and meat to the body. We
hope all children who like to read
Oliver Optics good stories $50 true to
real life) will try and read at least one
hour every day some history or biOg-
raphy, and take these excellent stO-
ries as they would eat nice ripe fruit.
The habit thus formed in early life
will prove a blessing In ripper years.

Some Questions for tne Financial Editor OF
the Union.
If the sum of $50 900, as allowed BY the
Board Of Supervisors in 1869 is correct,
what became of the $4,000 raised by the
levy of III mills? and why was the treasury
exhausted last June and the finance COM
mittee compelled to borrow? Was it COB
bled up by the county officers as extra fees?
If the $26,3OO of the Warsaw railroad
Indebtedness was democratic debt, what
did the republican clerk get for destroying
the resolutions binding the old Warsaw
Company to pay the interest on said bonds,
until that road was completed 2 or did he
steal it aud then get paid for it9
We pause for reply. We have few
more questions, if these are satisfactorily
