Mayims of Cardinal De Retz.

Some of the most celebrated aphor-
isms ever given to the world are those
of Cardinal De Retz. AS writer, the
fame of De Retz rests upon the "Me-
moirs," "most striking and brilliant
work." But his maxims have their
value, rs the reflections which q great
and able man formed from long expert
ence and practice in great business.
This was Lord Chesterfeld's opinion,
and he adds, "They are true conclu-
sions, drawn from facts, not from specu-
lation." We subjoin few of them:
Weak men never yield at the proper
time.
There are no small steps in great
affairs.
l am persuaded that greater qualities
are required toform good party leader
than to form an emperor OF the uni
verse and that in the order of the
qualities which composes him, resolu-
ton should walk hand in hand with
iudgment-I mean heroic judgment,
the principal use of which is to dis
tinguish the extraordinary from the i'm
possible.
Upon men of small understanding
nothing makes so deep an impression
as what they do not understand.
When fear rises to a certain height it
produces the same effects as temerity.
Fear never applies the proper remedy.
We should never play with favor We
cannot too closely embrace it when it is
real, nor fly too far from it when it is
false.
A man who distrusts himself never
truly confdes in any one.
Men never believe others can do what
they cannot do themselves.
The effects of weakness are incon-
ceivable, and l maintain that they are
far vaster than those of the most vio-
lent passions.
l have remarked that ill-founded
cnmities are ever the most obstinate.
The reason of this is clear. As oflIenses
Of that kind exist only in the imagina-
ton, they never fail to grow and swell
in that receptacle, too fruitful in evi!
iancics.
To commonplace people the extra
ordinary appears possible only after it
has been executed.

vet they lie SILL because We no
work for them. Last Saturday I took
pity on Leeds, and offered him the job
of doing my hand-carting. | told him
that would give him dollar and a
quarter day; but he turned up his
nose, and asked me not to insult him !
And vet he owned that his family were
suffering. But do you come to my
place tomorrow morning, and you
shall have something to do, if it is only
to hold your bench. I honor you for
your manly independence.
Peter grasped the old mans hand
with Joyous, grateful grip, and
blessed him fervently.
That night he gave Mr.. Snow notice
he must quit, and on the following
morning he went to the bindery. For
two days he had little to do, but on the
third day heavy job came in, and
Peter Stanwood had steady work. He
was happy-more happy than ever, for
he had learned two things first, what
noble wife he had; and second
how much resource for good he held
within his own energies.
Our simple picture has two points to
it's moral. One is-.no man can be
lowered by any kind of honest labor.
The second-while you are enjoying
the fruits of the present, forget not to
provide for the future for no man is
so secure but that the day may come
when he will want the squanderings Of
the past.

The Late Charles Sumner.

Charles Sumner was born in Boston,
Mass, Jan. 6, 1911, received his early
education at Boston Latin School, and
graduated from Harvard College in
1880. After year of private study, he
entered the law school at Cambridge,
where he formed an intimate friendship
with his teacher, Judge Story. He was
admitted to the bar in 1884. He was
appointed reporter of the Circuit Court
of the United States, and in that ca
pacity published three volumes known
as Summers Reports" and at the
same time edited law journal, enti-
tied the "American Jurist." During
the absence of Judge Story he acted as
lecturer to the students, and, not un-
frequently, had entire charge OF the law
school. In 1887 he visited Europe, re-
naming there three years. On his re-
turn to Boston he resumed practice,
and in 1S44.-6, published an elaborate
edition, with unnotatious, OF 'Vesey's
Reports" in 20 vols. Although he had
always been Whig, he took no active
part in politics until 1845, when, on
July 4th, he pronounced an Grafton be-
fore the municipal authorities OF Bos-
ton, deprecating o war with Mexico, in
sisting that peaceful arbitration should
be substituted for the ordeal by battle
in public, as it already was in private
affairs.
About this time he came out as a
strong advocate of anti-slavery, and
eventually separated from the Wing
party to Join with the Free Soilers, to
whose candidates, Van Buren, and Ad-
ans, he lent support in tie Presiden'
tial contest of 1913. After the with
drawal of Daniel Webster from the
Senate of the United States by his
entrance into the Cabinet of Mr.. Fill.
more, in 1850, Mr.. Sumner was elected
to fill the vacancy by coalition OF Free
Soilersa and Democrats in the Massachu-
setts Legislature. Once in the Senate,
he Immediately took up arms against
slavery, his first important speech being
in opposition to the Fugitive Slave act.
This course exasperated Preston s.
Brooks, who assaulted him dangerously,
May %, 1856. After his entire recov-
cry, in 1859, Mr. Summers first import
ant speech was denunciation OF the
influence of slavery on character, socl-
ETY. and civilization, which was subse-
quently printed under the title of "The
Barbarism of Slavery" He was an ac-
tive supporter OF Lincoln and Hamlin,
in the Presidential contest of 1860. Up
to the time of his death he continued to
hold his position in the United States
Senate. At the close OF the war he
made his famous motion that the names
of Federal victories should not be en-
rolled upon the national standard. The
vote of censure of the Massachusetts,
Legislature which this action brought
out, was rescinded just before his
death. Mr.. Sumner had been an in
valid for some years, and had, in vain,
sought relief from his sufferings.

How q Hundred Lives were Saved.

The explosion at the west shaft of the
Hoosac tunnel was accompanied by
thrilling incident. John Greene,
blaster, left the Office where Donnelly
was engaged in charging the cartridges,
not minute before the explosion, with
twenty-seven pounds of nitro -glycerine
in a can, ready for charging the holes
below. He had reached the cage, some
fifty feet from the Office, at the time Of
the explosion, and he realized that if he
remained where he was, and second
explosion occurred, all the buildings
would be demolished by the consequent
explosion of the nitro-g o-glyccrine. Some
told him to throw the can down the
shaft; Others shouted, "Drop it and
run p but he did neither. Dashing
through the back door of the cage, he
rushed to an old building omedistance
from the machine shop, where he put
down the can, and then returned to see
what had become of his comrado Don
nelly. He had just reached the ma
chine shop door, about 100 feet from
the Office, VIXEN the second explosion
took place, but-thanks to his fore
thougLt-without exploding the glycer:
inc. Greene was within few feet of
James Mnllany when the piece of wood
struck him with fatal effect, but he
(Greene) escaped uninjured. BY his
remarkable presence of mind, Greene
saved the lives Of perhaps a hundred
persons.
The conclusion wrenched doors from
their hangings inside the dwellings
near the Office, both the doors and win
dows from the machine shop across the
way, and tore the whole side OF the
compressor building and boiler-house,
strewing tho fragments for long dis.
tance in every direction. Mullany, the
blacksmith who was killed, was ono OF
the best men on the work, and had been
employed there for ten years. He was
a sober, industrious man, much beloved
10y all who knew him.

INSANE ASYLUM ATROCITIES.
Inhuman Treatment of Pauper Luna
tics in Pennsylvania.

tics in Pcnnsylvnnia.
The Philadelphia Evening Bulletin
publishes a lengthy and interesting de-
scription of the treatment of the insane
poor in certain county almshouses in
Pennsylvania. The Bulletin states
that terrible abuses have grown up in
this connection which only need ex-
posure to bring about speedy reform,
and announces its intention of publish
ing all the facts that can be obtained
concerning these abuses. A visit to one
county poorhouse betrayed terrible
condition Of affairs in the Insane De-
partment.
All sanitary measures were neglected,
and sickening odor prevailed in the
department named. The insane pau
pers were confined in wooden cages,
having only small opening protected
by iron bars, to admit air and light.
The interior of the cages were covered
with piles Of dirty straw and filth, and
the atmosphere was indescribable. In
cage No. was an agricultural laborer,
clad in rags. He was quiet and civil,
his arrangement not being of a violent
character.
He had been shut up in that filthy
box for eighteen months, simply be-.
cause they had no other place to put
him in. In the other cages the scenes
presented were even more inhuman and
revolving. The unfortunate inmates
were nearly naked, two of them wholly
so. They crouched among the straw
and litter in their dens, some asleep or
in a stupor, and all suffering greatly
from the wanton neglect of their keep
ers. Some could not rise from weak
ness, their limbs having been so long
in crouching attitude that they could
not move them.
A still more shocking sight, however,
was revealed on proceeding to the
basement of the hospital. There, in a
similar cage, lying on q heap OF loose
straw, was q young woman. twenty
years of age. She is dumb, distorted,
and idiotic. For eighteen years she
has been confined in the poorhcuse,
and six years she has been confined in
the cage, her only clothing piece OF
coarse bed ticking.
She is 30 weak from lying that she
can neither move her limbs, rise nol
walk. The almshouse in which these
terrible sufferings were witnessed is ten
miles from Easton, Penn.
The Bulletin, in concluding the ex.
posure, calls upon the State to see to il
that the Board OF Public Charities does
it's duty in wiping off this deep stain on
civilization and humanity.
