mummy, brought in a verdict Of " Death

pound interest from the time of Moses.
Well, that coroner is still in office, and
he is still enthusiastic about his pro-

Company, for the purpose OF, as stated in
their articles of incorporation, the
construction, conduct, and maintenance
OF telegraph lines between the cities OF

A TRAVELLER gives the following as the
only correct mode of eating oranges :
You must cut the yellow skin of care
ully at night, leaving the white pocket
inside whole. Cut Cff the head of the
orange, leaving small raw spot exposed.
Set the oranges out of doors, 81 that the
dew may fall ON them, and in the morn
ing the white skin will be tough and the
juice tight. At the breakfast table grasp
your orange with napkin As you would
newly.boiled egg, and AS YOU eat an egg
through its broken shell, 50 press the
juice of your orange through its outer
rind. Squeeze every drop into the
mouth. Serve another orange, and still
another, in the same way, and 50 keep ON
squeezing and sucking and sucSing and
squeezing. The more orange juice you
swallow the better for the stomach, the
blood, and the entire man No one
need be afraid To thus dispose of dozen
oranges before breakfast.

r. r. blair. Jr.

Francis Preston Blair, jr., died at 1t.
Louis in the closing hour of the Sth of
July. He had long been in very feeble
health, but death came suddenly at last.
1t had been hoped that the TRANSMISSION
of blood would give vitality to his shat
tered constitution, but the improvement,
which at first appeared lattering, proved
to be transitory. He was born at Lex
ington, Ky, Jan. 10, 1921, The late
John G. Breckenridge was born near that
city about the same time, so that the two
men, afterward so prominent in public
affairs, may be said to have started in
life together Both enjoyed more than
ordinary advantages in parentage, both
were possessed of more than average
talent, both died in the same year. Mr..
Blair was educated at Princeton, studied
law, and practiced it in Missouri. lie
afterward became editor of the st. Louis
Democrat. He was elected to Congress
in 1856 and again in 1861, and entered
the field in 1862. He was appointed a
Major-General, and, ON being reelected
to Congress for a third term, was not
willing to remain long away from the
scene of hostilities. He fought long and
well, and was one of Sherman's most en-
ergetic officers. lie was appointed col
lector Of st. Louis by President Joh nson
in ls66, and little later Commissioner
of the Pacific Railroad. In 1865 he was
nominated for the Nice-Presidency, by
the Democrats, but defeated. In 1870
he was chosen United States Senator, and
showed himself strong Democratic par
tisan, especially in manipulating the poll
ties of Missouri. Personally he was an
interesting and compsnionable man.

some newspapers which resisted and
have denounced the salary grab act Of
March Sd, lS7S-the so-called back-pay
swindle-criticise those resolutions of
Democratic state Conventions which
demand the restoration of the Presidents
salary to twenty-five thousand dollars a
year.
They Use the argument, which is
humbug, that public services are made
quately recompensed in this country /;
that the cost of living is high, and that
system of low salaries and modest es-
Establishments for the political chiefs of
the nation are incompatible with its dig
nifty and standing among other govern
ments. such is the argument, and it is
very absurd one.
One of the great merits of our form
of government is that IL is simple and
may be cheapy administered. Exten-
,iye and splendid civil establishments do
not become a Democratic people their
cost is great, they are 'corrupting in
their influences. In making their sys-
tem costly and magnificent, a people are
very apt To make it also centralized in
its powers as well as despotic in lis tenden-
cies
One great evil OF the system of enor-
NOUS salaries paid to public officers is
that il gives them the means of corrupt
ing the ballot box at the election. The
contributions for political purposes levied
ON office holders, which they could not
pay but for their extraordinary salaries
aAount to hundreds Of thousands Of dol
lars annually,
/ An attempt by political managers t.
levy this sum directly on the peopl,
would cause an uprising which would
sweep them out Of existence but the,
can levy the sum in the form of taxes
