HAPPY EVERY DAY.-Sidney Smith
cut the following from a newspaper,
and preserved it for himself: "When
you rise in the morning, form a re-
solution to make the day a happy
one to a fellow creature. It is
easily done; a left-of garment. to
the man who needs it; a kind word
to the sorrowful; an encouraging
expression to the striving-trides in
themselves as light as air-will do
at least for the twenty-four hours.
And if you are young, depend upon
it, it will tell when you are old; and
if you are old, rest assured it will
send you gently and happily down
the stream Of time to eternity. By
the most simple a1ithmetical sum,
at the result. If you send one
person, only one, happily through
each day, that is three hundred
and sixty-6ve in the course Of the
year. And suppose you live forty
years only after you commence that
of medicine, you have made
l4,GO0 beings happy-at oil events
for o time"

THE GENERAL

This body adjourned on Thurs
day, March 5th, sine die, and unless
called in extra session before No
vember, when their successors will
be elected, may be supposed to have
closed the labors of their term OF
service. This body, putting it as
mildly as the facts allow, has been
a turbulent one-born in, and Of q
revolution, they have not been out
of harmony with the..oircumstances
OF their birth.
We ore not prepared to express
IN opinion yet upon the character
of the laws enacted and withhold
comment of either censure or praise
until we shall be more fully advised
of what has been done.

A Washington correspondent Of the
Ohio State Journal relates the follow.
ing of a member of the Thirty-ninth
Congress, General Harding, of Illinois;
He was more persistent though less
demonstrative in his opposition to
lavish appropriations than E. B.
Washburn. But on n occasion
General Harding was observed voting
squarly with the monopolists for some
scheme or other, thus practically con-
tradicting his proclaimed theories.
Some one privately questioned him on
the floor of the House rs to this
inexplicable proceeding. Pushing
his abrupt body and not ravishingly
handsome face toward his interroga-
car, he said, in soto voice: l
have some eggsin that basket"

COMMUNICATED
Mr.. ED1ToR-

MIR. EDTToR-
Does not simple, even-handed
justice demand of you, a favorable
notice Of the "Annual Report" Of
the Hon. w. G. Brown, Superin-
tendent of Public Education ?
True, the Report ''speaks for ITSELF"
yet, this admission does not obviate,
nor preclude the duty of awarding
to it the honorable mention it SO
richly deserves.
Although but little more than a
year in Office, and that o year OF
troubled and perplexing events, Mr..
Brown exhibits such a thorough &C
qu%aintance, with all the minute and
complicated details OF the depart
ment, such q correct appreciation Of
the high demands Of duty, as fills
us with an admiration mingled with
a pleasing establishment. Every
impartial man-every one disposed
to "render unto Caesar the things
that are Cesar's," on reading the
Report, must and will pronounce it
to be the work of a master-hand,
and rank him, as he is, "a peer
among peers"
The puro sentiments OF heart,
and the strong thoughts of a ma
tured mind, are clothed in language
so pure and classica!ly chaste, so
free from coarse vituperation and
unnec ;ssa'y blame, that all must
admit he is ga gentleman and
scholar"
Justice and mercy sit SO evenly
in his out-spoken condemnation OF
error and crime, we feel at q loss
which to praise most, "the justice

THE SUPPRESSION OF PRE
T1IE

The General Assembly has passed
m act forbidding, within twelve
squares of any public morlet-the
establishment Of any private mar
ket for the sale of meat or vegeta-
bles.
As there is no settled portion of
tho city that is not within twelve
squares of q public market, this law
substantially and really suppresses
al private markets, and under one
guiso CT other, limits the rights OF
citizens, both sellers and buyers. so
as to give the present 1cssees of the
public markets., a monopoly of the
sale of all meats aud vegetables
that may be consumed by the peo-
pie of the city. We do not propose,
in this connection, to impur go the
motives of the members of the
General Assembly, voting for this
bill, nor at present to assail
tho parties in whose interest the
act seems to have been passed, but
we must unequivocally express our
disapproval of the bill.
No sanitary consideration justi-
fed the act, as appears from the
report of the Board of Health, and
private markets are, under the
law and ordinances. subject to the
same supervision and inspection
as the public markets.
In our Judgment this act, to the
great inconvenience and expense Of
all classes, especially the poor, with
out necessity therefor, and with
out any ofsetting benefit to the
people or city, proceeds first to
violate the contract, evidenced by
the licenses held and paid for,
entered into between the city and
owners OF private markets, and
creates for The benefit of the few
The lessee of the public markets
an oaious and illegal monopoly.
We believe that q judicial decision
will render this Objectionable law
imperative.

Sydney Smith was one of the

Sydney Smith was one Of the
most jovial men of the day. He
has been called the Laughing phil
osopher." Nc man who has lived
within the last half century could
set the table in = roar with his wit,
and jokes, and puns, better than
Sydney. He, too, could eat and
drink, as he himself expressed,
with a "six-parson power;" but in
tie prime of his days he became a
total abstainer. Lady Holland sym
pathizing with him, he thus writes
to her: "Many thanks, my dear.
for your kind anxiety respecting my
health. I not only was never bet
ter, but never half so we'll in my
life; indeed, I find I have been i'll
all my life without knowing it. Let
me state some Of the good arising
from abstaining from oil fermented
liquors. First, sweet sleep; having
never known what sweet sleep was,
I now sleep like q baby or plough
boy. If I wake, no needless terrors,
no black visions OF life, but pleasing
hopes and pleasant recollections. If
I dream, it is not of lions and
tigers, but of Easter dues and
tithes. Secondly, I can take longer
walks and undergo greater exercise:
without fatigue. My understanding
is improved. 7 ses better without
wine and spectacles than when I
used both. Only one evil ensues
from it. I am in such e~xtravagant
|spirits that I must lose blood or
look out for some one who will
bore or depress me. Pray leave off
fermented liquors; the stomach is
quite at rest; no heartburn, no
pain, no distension.
ADVICE TO You've SKATERs.-Nev-
er try to skate in moro than one
direction at once.
Eat a few apples for refresh
ment's sake while skating, and be
sure to throw the cores on the ice
for fast skaters to break their shins
over.
There is no law to prevent a be-
ginner from sitting down whenever
he is so inclined.
Skate over all the small boys at
once. Knock 'cm down. It makes
great fun, and they like it.
If you skate into hole in the ice,
take it coolly. Think how you would
feel if the water were boiling hot.
If your skates r too slippery,
buy a new pair. Keep buying new
pairs until you find a pair that is
not slippery.
In sitting down, do it gradually.
Don't be too sudden ; you may
break the ice.
When you fall hcadlong, examine
the straps Of your skates very +
fully before you get up. That will
make everybody think you fell be-
cause your skate was loose.
Wear a heavy ~overcoat or cloak
until you get thoroughly warmed
up, then throw it of, and let the
wind cool you. This will insure
you a fine cold.
After you get so yon can skate
tolerably we'll skate three or four
hours-skate frantically-skate till
you can't stand.

was with the universal and distinct
understanding that it was a dire ne

understanding that it was q dire ne
cessity Of pressing war, an indis-
pensable temporary ~expeaient for
the national safety. There was not
a patriotic and thoughtful man in
the country who did not feel that
the very first duty of a fortunate
issue of the war would be the
promptest possible return to- specie
basis, And the act of February Is,
1862, which made the greenbacks a
legal tender except for duties on
imports and interest, was based, as
Senator Sherman says, upon coin.
They were convertible into six per
cent. bonds, payable, principal and
interest, in gold. When Senator
Morton, at the West, and General
Butler, at the East, limited some
thing inconsistent with the perfect
faith Of the government, they we're
instantly silenced by the sentiment
of the party. The act of April IL,
1866, meant a return to the specie
basis; but the action of Secretary
M'Culloch was such that Congress
in 1868 withdrew the power. This
was followed, however, by the de-
claration of President Grant, in his
inaugural address, that the return
to a specie basis, cas- soon as it can
be accomplished without material
detriment to the debtor class, must
be provided for" And that there
should be no further question as
to the intention of the govern
ment in Republican hands, the act
of March Is, 1869, solcmnly pledges
the public faith to the payment of
the notes in coin at the earliest
practicable period. And the Re-
publican National Convention, on
the 5th of June, 1872, declared that
we confidently expect that our ex-
cellent national currency will be
perfected by a speedy resumption
of specie payments"
There is no question as to the
declared policy of the Republican
party upon this subject hitherto;
and there can therefore be no doubt
that when Senators Ferry and
Morton and Mr.. Kelley and Gen.
eral Butler propose expansion, and
some Of them deride a gold basis
for the currency, although they
may be wise men and great states
men, they oppose the declared Re-
publican policy as much as if in
other days they had favored squat
ter sovereignty or sustained the
bred Scott decision. We do not
deny that the attitude of such lead
ers, and the proposal of the Com
mittee of Ways and Means to legal
izo the issue of the reserve, show
that it can no longer be called the
accepted policy of the party. But
has Congress, have thoughtful Re-
publicans, fully considered what
would be the result of a definite re-
nunciation of that policy? The
party in Connecticut has just de-
clared that "there ought to be no
further increase of the paper cur
rency OF the country" and that
Congress should secure the early
resumption Of specie payment. That
has been until now the Republican
position. Will the desertion of it
perpetuate Republican ascendency?

SCRAPS.

SCKAPS.
JOHN McDoxoUeu the millionaire
of New Orleans, has engraved upon
his tomb a series of maxims pres
cribed as the rule for his guidance
through life, to which his success in
business is mainly attributed. They
contain so much wisdom that we
copy them:
RULES FOR GUIDANCE OF Mx LIFE,
1904.
Remember always that labor is
one of the conditions OF our e2is-
tence. Time is gold;. throw not
one minute away, but place each
one to account.
Do unto ali men as you would be
done by.
Never put off till tomorrow what
you can do to-day.
Never bid another do what you
can do yourself.
Never covet what is not your
own.
Never think any matter so tri1ling
as not to deserve notice.
Never give out that which does
not first come in. :
Never spend but to produce.
f. Let the greatest order regulate
the transactions Of your life.
Study, in your course of life, to
do the greatest amount of good.
Deprive yourself Of nothing ne
~cessary to your comfort, but live in
an honorable simplicity.
Labor, then, to the last moment
Of your existence.
Pursue strictly the above rules,
and the Divine blessings and riches
will flow upon you to your hearts
content; but, first of oil, remember
that the chief and great duty of
your life should be to tend, by all
means in your power, to the honor
and glory Of our Divine Creator.
Without temperance there is no
health; without virtue, no order;
without religion, no happiness; and
that the aim of our being should be
to live wisely, soberly, and right
eously.
Be MODEST AND SENs1B1E.-Do
not be above your business, no mat
ter what that may be-, but strive to
be the best in, that line. He who
turns up his nose at his work quar-
rels With his bread and butter. He
is a poor smith who quarrels with
his own sparks; there's no shame
about any honest calling; don't be
afraid OF soiling your hands, there's
plenty of soap to be had. You
cannot get honey if you r fright
ened at bees, nor plant corn if you
are afraid Of getting mud on your
boots. Above all, avoid laziness.
There is plenty to do in this world
for every pair Of hands placed in it,
and we must so work that the world
will be richer because of our having
lived in it.
BIG BoYs.-Of all the love affairs
in the world, none a surpass the
true love of a big boy for his moth
er. It is a love pure and noble,
honorable in the highest degree to
both. I do not mean merely a
dutiful affection, I mean a love
which makes a boy gallant and
lcourtcous to his mother, saying to
everybody, plainly, that he is fairly
in love with her: Next to tho love
of her husband, nothing so crowns
q woman's life with honor as this
second love, this devotion of the
son to her. I never yet knew q
boy to Turnout" bad who began
by falling in love with his mother.
Things are pretty well balanced
in this world as far as taking COM
fort goes, and I begin to believe
that, high or low, all have their tri-
bulations. Fishes are hooked, worms
are trodden on, birds are fred at.
Worry is everywhere. Poor mems
wivesworry because the bread wont
