Our Attachment 10 Familiar Things.

We are not only creatures of habit,
but old friends and memories and
places lives the longest in our hearts,
and are the dearest. There is no desc.
lation so great as to be in n strange
place, with the crowd passing aud re
passing before YOU, but not one fami-
liar face among them. There is no
lonhness in the world SO sensible as
this. The same il true of books aud
papers they grow TO be visitors and
friends. A man who is accustomed TO
read daily paper, if it fails to come
he misses il. and feels all day II he had
lost something, or something was
wrong. So, too, Of duties. When
men grow old and inhrm, and are
obliged 70 relinquish their accustomed
place in the store, or countns-rOom
or office. they do il gradually. because
they cannot bear TO DO It at once.

of the Kelsey outrage becomes stronger and
stronger, and many men will come forward to-
morrow who will support their words by Deeds and
money will be literally forthcoming to set the
machinery moving to attain the ends of justice.
In regard to District Attorney Downing while
the Kelsey party exhaust their reproaches on his
head they cannot help admitting that to his clients
he has been staunch and courageous counsel
He may have erred in attending the inquest in any
other capacity than a spectator, but his inten-
ton, most likely, was to take no part whatever
I'm the case until he was forced into the awk-
ward position he occupied by reason OF the
abrupt retirement OF Messrs. Platt 4 Young.
1t may be said OF Mr.. Downing that throughout
the legal investigation OF last winter he brought all
his capacity to the defence OF his clients, and If he
blundered by over zeal 1t was as much the prompt
ings oil an early and generous friendship Tor one
or the accused as 1t was the natural and laudable
side he happened to espouse.
There are no new developments to-day. The
course OF the inquest from tomorrow will be more
closely watched and scrutinized and 1t is needless
TO state every expression tnat drops from any or
the witnesses to whom suspicion attaches OF hav-
Ing anything to do with the outrage Will be looked
1t is to be hoped that the spirit which
has been greatly aroused by one
class OF the citizens against the other Will not lead
to perversion OF law and justice. Temperate ac-
ton Is aNove all things demanded II there be any
undue hurrylng, any repetition OF the arbitrary
and irresponsible course OF proceedings. tnat took
