ncphcws, who. he claims, are her heirs II his
wife is not. The suit for the property Is
brought ly George W. Bowen, a son OF Nine.
Jurlcl who Chase alleges isilleSitimate. Bow.
en- claims that Mrs. Chase is ilcgitimatc. and
is rot the child of Nine. Jllmcl at all, but OF

GREAT ADVANCE IN REAL EsTATE.-Colonel
r. Patton purchased in 1865 tract OF land
containing one hundred and seventy-tWo
acres for $4,000. Of this land enough mas

original purchase money, amounting Ill gross
to a little over ,000-sellinS but portion
of the land. The land and improvements
now owned by the Colonel are valued by MN
at from $4,000 to $4,000. But he has ds-
cidcd to retire from the business World;
During the late unpleasantness the Colone,

wherein he met with serious losses; Dut by
this stroke and great speculative tact he mas
retrieved some of his losses.- CodfSnlo''''

science and believe that he deserves it. He
regards his first election as an honor paid to
him for services rendered and vindication of
his personal character from mean aspersions
Neither of these considerations does he think
ought to have had much weight with the peo-
pie in the election of 1879. Events had so
shaped themselves that the Republican party
had no alternative. They must re-nominate
him or plead guilty to failure which had not
happened The only course for the Republi-
cans to take was to accept the record of the
Administration and fight it out on that line
The military glory of the past had small in
fuence. The central purpose of the war was
to secure quiet, honorable and prosperous
peace. If this Administration had failed in
that, then the country had not reaped the
legitimate fruits of victory in the field, and it
was time to look about for something better
than double payment Of debt of gratitude
On that issue, Grant has been reelected by an
unprecedented cutlery from the people. 1t is
not the soldier but the statesman who will
enter upon office on the Fourth of March,

How TO GAIN A PoINT.-The Pail Mall Ga
zette makes known to us an admirable plan for
facilitating discussion at the meeting of YES
trymen, local boards, etc, which we will take
leave to commend to the notice of all gentle
men interested in the progress of public bust
ness. At recent meeting of the Wallasey
Ia small English town Local Board, a Mr..
Cowan appeared in the Board-room with a
parcel under his arm This circumstance ap-
pealed to have caused no apprehension, but
when the minutes of the previous meeting had
been read, to the dismay of all present, Mr..
Cowan unpacked the parcel and produced a
pair of cymbals on which he began playing,
stating that as he could not have his way with
regard to a resolution he had wished to intro
duce he would take care that no other MEM
Der of the Board obtained a hearing. He then
commenced playing on the instruments, occa-
sionally pausing for some moments to deliver
some forcible remark bearing ON the question
at issue. The Board, at last, instead of being
moved "by magic numbers and persuasive
sound" called in the police, who removed
both the cymbals and the performer.

A YOUNG OLD MAN.-On the 14th of March,
1922 was born Charles, the son of Richard
Charsworth, carrier at Longnor, in the
county of Stafford. At his birth he was under
the common size, but he grew so amazingly
fast that by the time he was four years old he
was near four feet high, and in strength, agili-
ty and bulk, equal to fine boy of ten. At
five he measured four feet seven inches, weigh
ed eighty-seven pounds, could with ease carry
a man of fourteen stone weight, had every
sign of puberty and worked us an adult at his
fathers business. This was the time of his
full vigor, from whence he began gradually to
fall away in strength and bulk, like man in
the decline of life. At the age of seven his
strength was gone, his body totally emaciated,
his eyes sunk and his head palsied. He died
with all the signs of extreme old age, and as
if the months he had lived had been years.
The above is extracted from an account pub
lished by Mr.. Smith, a surgeon at Longnor,
by whom it was transmitted to the Royal So
ciety. 1t is also confirmed in the GentLeman's
lMagosine for December, 1874.

Teach THE WOMEN TO SAvE.-Theres the
secret A saving woman at the head of the
family is the very best saving bank establish
ed-one receiving deposit daily and hourly
with no costly machinery to manage it. The
idea of saving is pleasant one, and if the
women would imbibe it at once, they would
cultivate and adhere to it, and thus when they
are not aware of it would be laying the foun-
dation of competent security in stormy
time, and shelter in rainy day The woman
who sees to her own house, has large field to
save in. The best way TO make her compre-
bend it is to keep an account of all current ex-
penses. Probably not one woman in ten has
an idea how much are the expenditures of her.
self and family. Where from one to two thou
sand dollars are expended annually, there is a
chance to save something il the effort is made.
Let the housewife take the idea, act upon it,
and she will save many dollars-perhaps hun
dreds--where before she thought it impossible.
This is duty, yet not prompting of avarice,
but a moral obligation that rests upon the wo-
m N as well as the men.

MEYER TOO OLD TO LEARN


Sir Henry Spelman neglected the sciences in
his youth, but commenced the study of them
when he was between fifty and sixty years
of age. After this time he became a most
learned antiquarian and lawyer
Boccacio was thirty-five years of age when
he commenced his studies in polite literature
Yet he became one of the greatest masters of
the Tuscan Dialects Dante and Petrarch be-
ing the other two.
Ogilby the translator of Homer and Virgil,
was unacquainted with Latin and Greek till he
was past fifty.
Dryden, in his sixty-eighth year, commenced
the translation of Had, his most pleasant pro-
duction.
Ludovico Monaldesco, at the great age Of
one hundred and fifteen, wrote the memoirs
of his own time.
Franklin did not fully commence his philo-
sophical pursuits till he had reached his fifth
eth year.
Plutarch, when between seventy and eighty,
commenced studying Latin.
Socrates, at an extreme old age, learned to
play on musical instruments.
Cato at eighty years of age, commenced to
study the Greek language.

THE SCIENCE OF ADvERTIsING.

Judicious advertising always pays.
If you have a good thing, advertise it. If
you haven't, don't.
Large type isn't necessary in advertising.
Blind folks don't read newspapers.
Don't be afraid to invest in printers ink,
lest your sands of life be nearly run out
Never run down your opponents goods in
public. Let him do his own advertising.
Let your advertisements have something of
the dash in them, without great exaggeration.
You can't eat enough in one week to last
you whole year, and you can't advertise on
that plan either.
It's as true of advertising as of anything else
in the world-if it is worth doing at all, il is
worth doing well.
Hand-bills and circulars are good of their
kind, but they cannot take the place of news
paper advertisements.

How TO TREAT A HoRsE.---Somc English
grooms at Saratoga are teaching the cyan
KEGS " how to take care of q horse. To-day
asked one of these grooms, who has spent
twenty years In the stables of royalty, what
he had to say about the American way of
taking care of horse. "Why, sir, said he
"you don't take good care Of your horses !;
you think you do, but you don't" "Why?"
asked. because, when horse comes in
all wet with perspiration, you let him stand in
the stable and dry with all the dirt ON. In
England, we take the horse as he comes in
