OLD AGE AND OUR COUNTRY


The Cincinnati Enquirer calls at.
tention to the fact, in an elaborate arti.
Gle, that the literary and political men
of Europe seem to live much longer
than they do in this country, Here is
Guizot dying at the age of 81. NJ.
Theirs is but three or four years his
junior. Lord Brougham, in England.
was 81 when he died. Lord Lynd-
hurst was still older-almost a cen.
tenarian. Humboldt, if We mistake
not, was near the nineties. Lord Pal
merston was over so. So we're Talley-
rand and Metternich. Disraeli in
Great Britain, Marshal Moltke and
Emperor William in Germany, and Nc
Mahon in France are all old men, and
yet they are the rulers of their respect
i've countries. Save Washington Irv-
ing we recall no literary celebrity in
the United States who attained wha.
might be called longevity of existence.
Some of u statesmen lived up into
the eighties and nineties, but then they
had retired for a long time from pub
lie life, and consequently were IN
known to their generations. With the
exception of John Quincy Adams, none
Of our Congressional and Presidential
officials have had anything to do with
public affairs after they were 20. But
in Europe great things have been done
by scholars and politicians long after
that age was passed. There are in our
judiciary two bright examples of the
European character. We allude to
Chief Justice Marshall, of the Supreme
Court, who was so when he died, and
his successor, Roger B. fancy, who
was 81. There is something, We sus-
pect, that is faster in our mode of life
something in climatic influence that
is not as favorable to health as it is in
Europe. There are those who main
tain that America is the mausoleum of
our race, that it has been the grave
yard of several distinct civilizations,
and hat in time it will be fatal to us.
The Oldest OF the continents, it was
found nearly appropriated by the
Europeans, but bearing evidences that
there had been high civilization here
centuries before. The genuine Ameri-
can, in the older States of this Union,
where there has not been from time to
time IN infusion of foreign blood, has
usually a delicate organization, which
is especially marked in the female sex.
1t is much marked and commented
upon by the philosophical observers of
New England, where consumption and
all other organic diseases of the lungs,
heart and brain are becoming f~earfuily
prevalent, and a general decay of the
physical constitutions of the masses is
certain.

AYoUNG man II years old, named

to paralyze the spinal cord, making
him a hopeless invalid.

SOMEBODY ingeniously calculates that
in planting and garnering twenty acres
of corn a farmer must travel at least
nine hundred miles in TIE cornfeld
alone. 81 have, he says, ga twenty
acre field forty by eighty rods. To
break this up would take one hundred
and ~sizty-six miles ; narrowingit, about
forty miles f%urrowing out, ninety
miles; planting, forty-ive miles, if
with a planter; and if dropped and
then covered, nirety miles; and for
each blowing Of two burrows in a row,
ninety miles (; or, five plowings, four
hundred and fifty miles. Thus you
will see it takes about eight or nine
hundred miles of travel to raise twenty
acres of corn, not counting going to
and returning from the field. Besides,
there is some replanting, thinning, roll
etc.

In a Sabbath school class, In which
the lesson touched upon the promise of
Herod to the daughter of Herodias, the
teacher asked whether it was true that
Herod was obliged to keep his vow when
it would lead to the beheading of John
the Baptist. 81 guess if she had asked
for his own head, Herod would not have
felt himself obliged to keep it," replied
a bright boy of 10 or IL.

EOSSTTH AN IMPOSTOR

Ex-Mayor Joseph Medill, of Chi
cago, during his European trip, spent
some time in Austria, where he made
an extended examination of the merits
of the cause which the Hungarian pat
riot Kossuth led, and which he pleaded
so eloquently in the United States in
1912. Mr.. Medill's conclusion is
not complimentary to the brilliant
leader and orator. He says: The
whole thing was about the same
as if the Irish landlords should revolt
against Queen Victoria and undertake
to set up another dynasty in the name
of liberty, while not a word was uttered
or act done to better tine condition of
the miserable rackrent tenants who
titled the soil and lived in restitution,
while the landlords enjoyed the fruit of
their toll and self-denial. The whole
thing was the greatest imposition and
fraud even perpetrated upon the Ameri-
can people in the name of liberty.

A Second Father Matthew.

Who is there that does not respect
the memory of Father Matthew, the
great champion of temperance? In
numberable societies bear his honored
name but there is one man who has
struck a more sure death-blow to in
temperance, and that man is DIR. j..
WALKER, an old California physician,
who has discovered in natures "meek
and lowly herbs" medicinal /" tonic y
and gentle stimulant that completely
takes the place of the fashionable
alcoholic poisons called "tonics," 80
popular as compromise between strong
drink and cold water, and does away
with the mania for drink, and in reality
cultivates an involuntary disgust for the
same. 1t even does more: 1t acts
upon the entire physical system, purifes
the blood, and produces hale, hardy
health. The discoverer of this great
medicinal stimulant is surely entitled
to the thanks of q whole nation, and il
is not extravaganza to entitle him co
second Father Matthew. Com.

An Outgrowth of Other Disease.

frequently symptom of other diseased con-
ditions. The following letter explains it
CoLLINGwooD, Onondago Co., N. Y, Jan. %, 1872.

Dear Sir ALLOW me to give you brief
history of the effect of your medicine called

rally of firm constitution. Within the last few
years, from over-exercise, have been afflicted
with a complication of diseases almost incredi-
BILE to relate. In the first place Catarrh, to a
degree that, to me- it seemed that my voice
passed out at the ears. to which was added its
natural ally-Bronchitis to which, at no great
length of time, were added Neuralgia pains in
the head and shouldurs and bloating of the
lower limbs, the most of which was super
induced by torpid state of the liver. l had
the advice of several eminent physicians, and
tried almost every known remedy for such COM
plants without relief. A rapid loss of strength
and waste of fesh reminded me that l could
not long Withstand the combined force of dis
ease which was fast bearing me down. | gave
up all business made my WILL had my grave
stone placed in position and lettered except
date of exit, and resigned myself to my couch
to await events. Not long after this saw your
advertisement procured your remedies-I am
now on the second half-dozen bottles of Golden
Medical Discovery-have good appetite, have
gained fifteen pounds of fiesh-no more talk
out of my ears, no more bloating of the limbs,
can walk two or three miles with ease, and feel
that you have given me a lease of ten or fifteen

Food for the Brain,

A hummer. who does not believe in
any temperance movement, thus gives
his ideas of whisky: Whisky" he
says, ais food for the brain. Talk
about fish being food for the brain,
why it's nowhere compared with alco-
holl You might eat a quintal of cod
fish every day from now till the day of
your death-which wouldn't be far dis
tant-and your brain would not be n
bit larger or more active than it is now ;
but it would be a sight softer, 1 reckon.
Goldfish would never stimulate mans
brain in the wSrld I; it is made to stimu-
late thirst, and it fulfills its mission
ever time. On the other hand, you
measure your head and drink a quart
of good whisky every day for six
months or a year, and if at the end OF
that time your head don't measure
from two to five inches more than il
does now I'll throw up the sponge and
sign the-no, 1 won't do that I'll saw
my legs off short, and sell myself fol
kindling wood. Now, you try that
some time, just for fun-iust to see
how the old thing works.

Spring Dresses.

New importations of spring dresses
are pongees of two shades, buff with
chestnut brown, and pistache green with
dark olive. Basques with elaborate
tabliers and shirred founces seem to be
the most prevalent style. A new and
tasteful design is a basque with the
side extended to form revers the
whole length of the skirt, being button
ed down the second side seam with
this there is horizontal tablier and
full panier back with two deep shirred
founces the basque slopes up shorter
behind, and with the revers has the
effect of a demi-polonaise. There are
many double breasted basques, some of
which are buttoned in the present
fashion, but others are Tapped only deep
enough to require single button to
fasten them, and slope away to show a
deep square vest beneath. A pretty
ecru pongee has darker brown facings
dotted with tiny steel beads. Shirred
founces are the rule on wooden and soft
thin silks, such as mohair and pongee.

The Late Chas. Sumner In New York,

nv AA"NS Ch"Se Ah ANCH IUl ne
In the New York Assembly Hon.
George M. Beebe, of Monticello, from
the Committee to draft resolutions on
the death of Charles Sumner, submitted
the following:
"The Assembly having received with
profound grief the intelligence of the
death of Charles Sumner, does in be-
coming recognition of the purity of
character, devoted patriotism and noble
services of the illustrious deceased,
resolve,
"That in his death the nation has
been bereft of one of it's ablest states
men, freedom has lost dauntless cham
pion, and mankind has been deprived
of the services of one skilled to direct
and strong to strike in the interests of
humanity.
"That while we bow in sorrowful
submission to the dispensation with
which our country has been visited, we
rejoice that in the grand achievements
of his life, and in the noble record he
has left, we have heritage which will
perpetuate his memory forever"
Mr.. Beebe said:
"Mr. Speaker-It has been said that
the degree of advancement in civilizs-
ton and refinement to which a nation
has attained is Justly indicated by the
respect and reverence it pays to the
memory of it's worthy dead. If this be
so, then in no other way can the people
of this country more honor themselves
than in doing honor to Charles Sumner.
Sincere in purpose and earnest in
effort, he lowered an intellectual giant,
foremost among the scholars, states
men, and patriots of the age in which
he lived. 1t may not be expected that
in the career of such a man each indi-
vidual act will address itself to the APP
prevail of his countrymen, but we can
with pride contemplate the grandeur of
his character, and recognize in him one
of those devoted champions of right
who, where he considered the line OF
justice to be drawn, was ever there to
plant his foot with frmness and perish
rather than recede therefrom O single
step; and, while we view him in this
character, we are impressed that he
stands in the history of the world as
some illimitable hand might strive to
make Paul or an Apollo stand"

Photographs:

Some surprise was manifested when
the Graphic assertsd that unless a man
copyrighted his photograph he had no
exclusive claim to it. In other words,
aman publishes his face by photograph
ing it, and any one has right to use
and sell such photographs SO long as
they are not copyrighted. This view
of the matter has recently been sus-
tanned by the English courts, as will be
seen by recent letter in the London
Times, and it is now the recognized law
in England that the ownership of pho
tographs is vested in the photographer,
and not in the sitters. Whenever the
question is brought before our courts
it will be decided in the same way. The
idea that man can scatter his photo
graphs broadcast and still claim the
right to say whether this or that illus.
trated paper shall use them is mani
testify an absurdity which no court
could venture to uphold.
