EuIcs for IzeeGing Cool.

A cotemporary has instructed its
readers how to keep cool in the
heated term. We propose TO try
our hand:
Never go in the sun; it heats
the blood.
Clothes prevent the escape of
heat from the body; wear none, or
only a loose shirt and drawers.
Work heats the system; do moth
ing.
Sit in o draft.
Reading, talking and thinking
generate heat do neither.
Battle every hour in the day, and
take a shower bath between.
Wear a cap with ice in it.
Sit with your feet in q tub Of ice
water.
Call your wife land daughter
when you want anything; it is
good operation.
Drink iced tea, lemonade, plat
soda, and such; have a cool strear
running in all the while.
BY observing these simple direC
tons one can get along withot
going away, unless the effect SEM
him off.

A Model Fisherman.

A Peoria, ILL.,, paper records the
following: Two or three weeks
ago very quiet and very solemn
boy, about ten years old, took
seat on the wharf at the foot Of
Griswold street and began to fish.
There are, mayhap, fish at the foot
of Griswold street, but probably
man or boy might fish there ten
thousand years and never get a bite,
because those fish, if any there be
that frequent that locality, have
had their eye teeth cut and know
their business. Steamers and boats
are passing, men shouting, drays
rolling, and the fish have a good
deal to think of. But this boy did
ut look into the case. He may
have heard theories and specula-
tons, but he kept them to himself
and went on fishing. Men asked
him if he had got bite, and boys
told him to be careful and not ex-
haust the supply, but for four or
five hours per day he sat there and
fished. unmindful of what was said
or done. He pulled up the line
once in n while, surveyed the bit of
meat on the hook, saw that it was
there. and then the hook went down
again to wait for sturgeon: At
last the boys perseve al &c and -
tience excited general notice, and
the men said it was too bad that he
didn't get any fish. Saturday af-
ternOon three or four individuals
planned to call him away from his
line for moment, and while he was
gone one of them fastened a big
dried herring to the hook. The
boy returned and resumed his fish
ing, and finally he hauled up and
saw the herring. lie was too as
tonished to speak for a time, but
he finally unlocked the fish, laid it
aside, put a piece Of scrap iron on
it to keep it from escaping, and
pretty soon he was as solemn as
ever. One of the men felt piqued
at the boys lack of enthusiasm,
and stepping forward he said;-
"Well, bub, had any luck!' zone
herring" he replied in q solemn
tone. "And what do you expect to
catch now p continued the man.
The lad waited long time before
answering, and then, mournfully
glancing at the herring, he replied:
Crackers and cheese to go with
him." He is still fishing"

Advice TO Teauisfers.

See that good care is taken OF
your horse in the stable, keeping
him clean, warm, and comfortable,
feeding him with sound articles of
food. Potatoes may be given once
or twice week to good advantage.
A peico of roclz-salt should be al
ways left in his Manager.
Also see that the harness is kept .
soft and clean, particularly the in
side of the collar, which ought
always to be smooth, as the perspir-
alton, when dry, causes irritation,
ana is liable to produce gals
on the shoulder. The collar
should fit closely, with space
enough at the bottom to admit a
mans hand. If too large it has the
bad effect of drawing the shoulders
together.
See that the names are buckled
tight enough at the top to bring the
draught-irons near the center OF
collar. If too low, it not only inter
fere with the action of the shout
der, but gives the collar an uneven
bearing.
Caution should be taken that the
girth is not buckled to tight, par
ticularly on string teams, for when
the traces are slaughtered it has
the tendency to draw the girtt
against the belly and distress the
horse.
See that the horse is kept shod
with a good stiff shoe, always callS-
ed at the toe and heel on the hind
feet, as it is there where all the
propelling comes from when heav-
lily loaded. Keep the feet good
and strong by not allowing them to
be cut away too much by the black
smith.
The best judgement should be
used in loading, taking into con-
sideration the condition Of the
street and the distance to be trav-
eled. Never overlooking, for by
so doing you only distress, strain
and discourage your horse, and do
him more injury than you can
possible gain by carrying the extra
load. When your load is hard
to pull, stop often, and give
your horses q chance to breathe.
No good driver will ever resort
to the cruel practice of whipping
or beating his horse. \ light whip
may be carried, but there is seldom
use for it. Much more can be
accomplished by kind treatment
and good judgement. Remember
the horse is q very intelligent,
proud, sensitive, nobly animal, the
most useful known to man, and is
deserving Of the greatest kindness.

A Touching Romance.

There is a touching romance in
connection with Ellsworth's death,
which became public for the first
time on the day Of the dedication
Of his monument. The beautiful
little incident illustrates woman's
devotion. When Ellsworth died he
was ahianced to a beautiful young
lady, and she vowed ever afterward
to lead life of celibacy. Years
have passed over her young head,
and she has not been mercifully
called to rejoin that other self whom
she loved better than life. without
whom life is death.
One who knew her attended the
dedication of the monument, and
inquired first and eagerly for the
beautiful bride of Ellsworth's how
ering spirit. She was not there
Surely she must be dead; nothing
else could keep her from such a
tribute to her spirit love. He as
certained that it was not death that
detained her. 1t was not conven-
lent for her to leave her husband
and children. She had "weaken-
cd" on her vow several years since.
Oh, woman, in our hours Of ease

planted how you don't stickI

Prayer is not only request made
to God, but converse had with
Him. 1t is the expression of desire
to Him so as to purify it; of pur-
pose, so as to steady it; of hope,
so as to brighten it. 1t is the
bringing of ones heart into the
sunshine, so that, like a plant, its
inner life may thrive for an out
ward development.

The editor of the Lancaster Pa,
Express tell this story, but he new
er writes under oath: "a wife OF
nearly ten years, having given her
servants a holiday, was attending
the culinary matters herself, and
hearing her husband coming in the
kitchen, thought she would sur
prise him as soon as he entered
the door by throwing her hands
over his eyes and imprinting a kiss
on his brow as in the days of the
honeymoon. The husband return
ed the salute with interest, and said,
as he disengaged her hands, "Mary
darling, where is your mistress 2
The wife discharged "Mary, darl

a new plan of surprising her hus

THURSDAY EVENING, MARCH II.

THAT SUIT FOR A MILLION. Mention has
been made of the fact that suit has been
brought in the name of Hon. Alexander IL.
Stephens against the Western and Atlantic
Railroad Company and MIR. Hazehurst, OF
Georgia, to recover one million OF dollars. Ii
appears, however, that Mr.. Stephens never au-
thorized this suit, and from facts DOW made
public it seems that the case has no basis. At
the time the company was formed to lease the
road from the State Mr.. Stephens applied to
Gov. Brown, as his friend. to get him 40 To-
teres, 10 the lease. Brown insisted on this III
the formation of the company, and secured the
interest for Mr. Stephens. Soon alter the
lease was made it was intimated that there was
something fraudulent about it, and MIR. Ste,
phens, not caring to face the storm, conveyed
his Interest back to the State. After be had
returned it Governor Bullock, acting under the
law, which required hum to lease the whole
road, was unwilling toEmake the State part
ner in the lease, and, with the consent OF the
lessees and their securities he substituted Mr..
Hazlehurst for Mr.. Stephens. 1t is also learn
ed that while there was assigned to MIR. Ste
pheus one half OF share, it was done With the
understanding that he convey halt OF that to
s. K. johnson, Superintendent of the Georgia
Road, which MIR. Stephens did. The interest,
ONN>O
is but one fourth of share, or e.nlnety-
second part of the whole, and for the profit on
which one million of dollars has been claimed.
According to this claim, the lessees must have
made pinety. two million dollars Of profit up TO
this time, an evident impossibility.
