position, which would be offered at the
proper time, was the proper way to get
It there. He would not charge that the
gentlemen were after party capital. he
would not give his vote for any resoiu-
ton that prejudiced this matter. Char
acter was above lite, 1t is not manly
to thrust upon the Attorney General the
decisioo OF this matter. No detraction
or Islander ever did build up party, and
that party stands on q weak and sandy
foundation that attempts to build ltsei
up on such materials II you shlrk

pect the Attorney General to do his
You ought either to adopt or reject this
report. ....... ..r.. .a..
This man had been arraigned before
the public Tor more than twelve months,
His name had been made the mark OF
scandal and detrsction. 1t was due To
him that his case should no longer be
kept in suspense II you refer to the
Attorney General. it would simply pro-
long the discussion of the charges
against Mr.. Walker until the next
session OF the Legislature. lfthat gen.
tleman alone were concerned, he might
stand it, unjust as it was. But the
honor and happiness of others beside
him were concerned. The peace OF
family, the happiness of innocent ones
in the home circle was involved IN this
proceeding, and never could he consent
to deter unsettled these grave charges
10 the injury Of the detenceless and the
unoffending.
Pass upon this report, and then
adopt a resolution authorizing State
officers, having proofs of unlawful pay
meats in their possession to bring suit
This would properly locate the respon-
sibility.
Mr.. Brown looked at both sides OF
the question. He did not want to
bring Mr.. Walker into a conflict with
the State, until he had taken all the
steps necessary to find out whether 1t
was necessary or not. He thought 1t
best to first consult the Attorney Gen
eral, and, if in his opinion, he thought
it bes, to bring suit, then the Legls-
lature should so order, butt he thought
there WAS not sufficient grounds for q
suit, then the whole country could not
help but believe in Mr.. Walkers in
rocence.
Pending debate,
On motion of Mr.. Potter, the House
adjourned.

Fasting and its Influence.

Whilst the secular press has nothing to do
with the religious influences Of Lent, it is in
teresting to note how ancient and general has
been the custom of religious fasting. 1t was in
practice among the ancient Egyptians by those
who devoted themselves to the worship of Isis,
and was common among the oldest nations of
the Orient. There were periodical fasts among
the Greeks and Romans. The public f4sts of
the Jews were numerous. The Lenten fast is
esteemed by the Greeks, Catholics, and some
Protestant churches tradition from the age of
the apostles The Catholic Church prohibits
flesh, but not fish, for food on fast days, and
carries out the duties and penalties of Lent to
the very letter. The Episcopal Church also
observes the forty days season by unusual ex-
ercses of devotion, aud incul,ates self.denial.
Whilst the press has nothing to do with the
religious significance of the season, it is impos-
sible, as the Brooklyn Eagle pertinently OBJ
serves, to overlook the fact that in secular
interest the season of Lent is more important
than any other. Those churches which carry
out the duties and penalties of Lent strictly
and those in which it is observed only to q
modified extent, are sufficiently numerous, even
in this country, to have the effect of their re
ligious abstinence felt in various employment:
and vocatlOns, such as those of the butchers
graZers, and theatrical managers. What tht
butchers lose, however, the fshmongers gain
Lent, which Is fast to others, being financial
ly feast to them. IF it be true that too much
animal food is eaten in this country, the absti
nence from it and the use of vegetables anC
fish for certain period may be a positiv,
benefit to the health of those abstaining. In
deed, great multitudes of the population o
Asia, who are healthy, strong and well-develop
, ed, never touch animal food at any time.
, is only used in Europe sparingly, at least, b!
the mass Of the laboring population; yet, oil
the whole, they are as robust and long lived a
our own people. At any rate, forty days o
temperate eating and drinking can do no harm
to any one. At the end Of that period tn,
/ butchers and grsziers will recover their owl
again; the theatrical stars viii find the secula
public, freed from the restraints of Lent
, thronging to their old places OF resort, ant
concerts and operas, helping to refresh thos
J who, while not admiring Lent themselves
|, have been consigned by the religious custom
} to an involuntary penance Of forty days in th
; deprivation of their favorite amusements.

How THEY READ NEWSPAPERS Uncle
Ned first hunts up funny thing, then laughs
with will.
Aunt Sue first reads the stories, then turns
to the marriages, births and deaths.
The laborer looks only at the wants" hop
ing to find better opening in his business
Miss Flora seeks out the new advertisements
to ascertain the newest importations in bOnuets
and kids.
Mr.. Pleasure Seeker turns to the amusement
column and decides which entertainment will
afford him the greatest enjoyment.
Miss Prim drops a tear-6rst over the mar
riages, then over the deaths, for, say she, lone
is as bad as the other.
| Mr. Politician commences with the editorial,
then scans the telegraph, ending his perusal
with the speech quoted.
| Mr.. Professor slowly examines the editorial,
| its rhetoric, syntax, and logic, then glances at
the correspondence, finally returns to his
Latin, and quickly forgets what he has read.
Mr.. Marvellous looks for the accidents, MUIR
ders, inquests and Deaths reads the court
record, and ends with the stories in search Of
something sensational
But why extend the list? Each individual
reads for himself, and if each does not find g
column or more to his particular taste, ths
} paper is insipid, the editor lazy and deserving
J of censure.

THE ETIQUETTE OF Bovine. = This is so
simple and reasonable that one would scarcely
suppose it possible that differences of opinion
could exist, and yet there are some who think
it breach of politenees if one neglect to
how, although meeting half dozen times on
a promenade or in driving. Custom has made
it necessary to bow only the first time in pass
ing after that exchange of situations it is
very properly not expected. The difference
between a courteous and familiar bow should
be remembered by gentlemen who wish to
make favorable impression.
A lady dislikes TO receive from a man with
whom she has but slight acquaintance bow,
accompanied by a broad smile, as though he
were on the most familiar terms with her. 1t
is far better to err on the other side, and give
one of those stiff ungracious bows which
some men indulge in. Those gentlemen who
smile with their eyes instead of their mouths
give the most charming bows. AS for mer
who bow charmingly at one time, and with ex
cessive hautier at others, according as the.
feel in good or bad humor, they need neve
be surprised if the person thus treated shoul'
cease speaking altogether; nor can any ma
who does not lift, or at least touch, his hat i
speaking to lady, expect that she will con
tinue her salutations. Home Journal.

A TRUE SOLDIER Galignani's Messenger
gives, in a recent issue, the following account
of the death of French heroine IA woman,
named Virginie Chesquieres, has just died in
the Petits Mensges Asylum, at Issy, within
fifty FIVE days of attaining her hundredth yeal.
A remarkable act Of heroism is related OF this
female under the first empire. 1t was during
an engagement in the Peninsula war the
colonel Of the 9th regiment had been killed
and left on the ground, when a sergeant,
slight young man, and two soldiers devoted
themselves to recover the body OF their officer
They started together, but the two men were
struck down on the way, and the sergeant only
reached the spot. He attempted to lift The
corpse on to his shoulders, but was too weak
to do so. Perceiving two OF the enemy at a
| distance, he made signs as if he we're wounded,
/ and the others hastened forward expecting tC
make prisoner, when the sergeant fired and
brought down one of them; then seized his
horse-the other had Hed-got the body on it
mounted himself. and galloped back to the
French lines. There it was seen that th'
young man himself was wounded, as blood wa
flowing freely from his breast. He was un
dressed, in spite of his resistance, and foun,
to be woman 1t was Virginie Chesquieres
of Delmont, in the department of the NOrd
who six years before, seeing her young brothe
drawn in the conscription, had dressed herse
in mems clothes, and taking his place, ha
been incorporated in the 9th regiment, an
had risen to the grade of sergeant. This
the woman who has just died in the asylul

The physicians of England are always known
by the simple title of Mr." and all efforts to
revolutionize public sentiment so as to authorize
the assumption of the title OF doctor have; to
use a medical term, proved abortive. The
Royal College of Physicians of London has an
nounced that it does not recognize nor sanction
the assumption of the title of doctor by its
licentiates. 1t appears, also, that neither has
licentiate of the Royal College of physicians
of Edinburg, or of the King and Queens Col
lege, Ireland, any right, as such, to style him
self doctor" The British Medical Journal,
which communicates this information, adds
that an university degree alone gives this dis
tinguishing title to graduates in medicine. An
American physician of good standing lately at.
tempted to pass as doctor" in London, but he
felt the stern grasp of the law, and now piac
tices as Mr." Blank.
