How Franklin Secured A Seat.

DR.. Franklin owed much Of his extraordi-
nary success to his keen insight into human
nature and sogacity that quickly perceived
the best and readiest methods of attaining
desired end. To be sure, many Of his
"strategetic movements" were not commend
able; but they were more humorous than
injurious of which the following is a charac-
teristic specimen:
In the year 1924 Franklin visited Bos-
ton, and on his return TO Philadelphia, at
every stopping he was beset with officious
inquiries for his name, business, etc., on
which he determined to be beforehand with
interrogatories in future. At tho next tav-
ern he announced himself as Benjamin
Franklin from Boston to Philadelphia, prin-
ter not worth dollar, eighteen years ofage,
single man seeking my fortune, etc., and
this singular introduction checked all further
inquiries, and effectually repulsed the dar'
ing propensity Of Yankee inquisitiveness. Al
one of the public houses, the fireplace was
surrounded by men so closely packed thai
our traveller could not approach near enough
to feel any Of its agreeable warmth, aud be-
ing cold and chilled, he called out, Hostler
Il
have you any oysters
"Yes sit" said the man.
"Well, then give my horse peck !"
"What give your horse oysters 2" cried thu
wondering skeptic.
"Yes, retorted Franklin, give him peel
Of oysters"
The hostler carried out the oysters, anc
many of the occupiers Of the fireplace wen
with him to witness the great curiosity Of I
horse eating oysters. Franklin seated him
self comfortably before the fire and derives
much satisfaction and enjoyment. Soon tn
men came in, and the company with ruefu
faces expressed most decided dissatisfaction
at their disappointment. THE horse woul
not eat the oysters sir ~ and they had lo'
their cosy, comfortable, warm seats.
WELL" said Franklin, "if the horse won
eat them, I'll eat them myself, and you ca
try him with peck of oats"

Western Railways and the British
Constitution.

The legality of what is known as "the
Potter law" aud the probable effects Of its
operation upon the Wisconsin railroads, form
topics of very grave interest to constitution.
al lawyers, stockholders, Western farmers,
aud the public generally at the present time.
The case in substance is this. Certain rail-
roads running through the State of Wiscon-
sin had by charter, the privilege Of fixing
their own rates for freight and passen-
gers. Complaints were made that the tolls
wero extortonately high, and at length the
State Legislature passed bill limiting the
rates and imposing penalties for the exaction
of any charges beyond such specified limit.
Decisions rendered under this law were APP
pealed by the companies, until they reached
the Supreme Court, where Chief ustice Ry-
an upheld the provisions Of "tho Potter law"
The dispute hinges on the question, whether
such interference of the Legislature is not an
unwarrantable breach of contract Many
able lawyers have brought their learning and
ability to bear on the issue. Among the
rest we have noticed a review Of the case
from Mr.. Brooks Adams, of Boston, who,
going down to the root Of things, is tempted

course, the British constitution"-which is
a very original remark. But it has one de-
feet that cannot well be overlooked f: 1t hap
pens to be untrue, and its untruth is too pal
pable to need any demonstration.
As to the main question, we are disposed
to think that no legislature can make laws
or grant charters so absolute as not to ad
nit Of being afterwards repealed or modified
for, on contrary suppostion, any legisla
ture might bind State in a ruinous contract
We do not care to 90 more deeply int
the subject now, but this whole question o
railroad privileges is one that will lead t.
some lively agitation before ten years shall
have passed away. Not one line out o
ten is now conducted as legitimate enter
prise should be, but lmost all are mauip
ulated by stock jobbers and spectators
Either the system must undergo q wholesal,
reform, or else stringent laws will be foun,
in more places than Wisconsin.-Iris

UTILIZATION OF TYPHA WEED.-The COM
mon cat tail of our swamps, scientifically
known as Typha latJolia, is susceptible of
being used as food, for which purpose il is
highly esteemed in some countries. The
plant is perennial, aud propagated by the for
nation of underground stems, containing
much starchy matter. In Southern Russia
the young shoots, when they push up in the
spring, are cut and tied up, as asparagus fol
our markets, and sold in all the markets
Boiled as asparagus is boiled, and seasoned
with salt and spice, it is pronounced quite
delicious by all who have partakcn OF it
This plant is found, in more or less abun
dance, in swampy places all over the UniteC
States, and may very easily be introduced il
places where it does not grow already

THE TIDAL WAVE.

ny GRACE ATHERTON.
No more for me the tidal wave
Sweeps inward from n summer sea,
Freighted with gems Of dearest worth,
And spicy airs so soft and free,
The tide has turned alas, for mo
The barren desert shore is seen.
The waves run out and bear away
My hopes Of brightest silver sheen.
I've watched the fOam-necked, Handicapped wave
I've watched them drift far out TO sea,
Leaving me lone upon the sands
Upon q dismal, lonely lea.
Yet would liz no hand to stay
These waves upon their eager rout
Tho they should bear my life away,
Aud winter clasp me round about.
No more for me these waves will roll
With sweetest murmur from tho sea,
No more within the twilight gloom
Their echoes ripple DER the lea.
And for their sound long shall list
As DER me falls the salt sea spray,
And tears will come at eventide
That waves can never wash away.

ECHOES OF THE PAST.

We hear them now-those echoes Wild
like some grand, solemn chime,
That ring along tho lofty cliffs
That mark the way Of Time.
They float upon the sunset air
To mom'ry's halls Of state,
From winding paths Of life where Time
Walks hand in hand with Fate.
The hand Of childhood strikes the chord
And thrc' the necting years
Their echoes sad or joyous SWELL
Till Deaths chill form appears.
And as the Ginning bells Of earth
Through gathering mists ring clear,
The echoes Of the long ago
Shall charm the listening ear
II.
Sometimes We blame the Power Divine
We call II Destiny
That leads us on by darkened paths,
Unto eternity.
We deem tho Christening rod too harsh
When llfos dark avenue
Seems nowhere opening to reveal
The sunshine to our view.
But when we reach life's farthest hill,
And turn our longing eyes
Upon the fields Of fadeess green
Where many mansions rise,
Then shall we thank the Advise Hand
That marked our onward way,
For, cen as darkness ere the dawn
FOretells the coming day,
We know the darkness of our night,
The deep'ning gray ofdawn,
Are only heralus that proclaim
The glories of the morn.
Where wewho wander blindly here
May know LIES mystery,
It's but an echo Of the chime
Ofheavens harmony.
III.
The grandest echo of the past
Unchanged by space or time
Was born to earth when angel hands
Walked the first Christmas chime,
When peace on earth, good will to men,
The seraph voices sangl
And all the melody love
On evening stiffness rang.
Methinks when we 'hall bear our sheavss
Unto the judgment scat,
lin our lifelong harvest song
Each note is found complete,
Then with the angel choir our harps
Freed from their earthly stain
Shall wake the harmonies Of heaven
To Christmas chimes again.

Every year increases the POPULAR
tv of this valuable Hair Preparation;
which is due to merit alone. We
can assure our old patrons that it is
kept fully up to its high standard;
and it is the only reliable and perfect
ed preparation for restoring GRAY
OR FADED HAIR to its youthful color,
making it soft, lustrous, and silksp.
The scalp, by its use, becomes white
and clean. 1t removes all eruptions
and dandruf, and, by its tonic prop
critics, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. By its use, the hair
grows thicker and stronger. In
badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create a new growth, except in
extreme old age. 1t is the most eco
nomical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications,
and gives the hair splendid, glossy
appearance. A. A. Hayes, MD,
