..some BODY MUST BE In."


Here is little story which tells better
than a dictionary can the meaning OF the
word /" disinterestedness. - .-- - ~
The late Archdeacon Hare was once,
when tutor of Trinity College, Cam
bridge, giving lecture, when cry OF
"Fire" was raised. Away rushed his
pupils, and forming themselves into a
line between the building, which was
close at hand, and the river, passed buckets
from one to another. The tutor quickly
following, found them thus engaged; at
the end of the line one youth was stand
ing up to his waist in the river; he was
delicate and he looked consumptive.
"What ~ cried Mr.. Hare, "you in
the water, Sterling you SO liable to take
cold p
Somebody must be in it, /" the youth
answered; "why not I, as well as an
other9"
The spirit of this answer is that of all
great and generous doing. Cowardice
and GOODNESS, too, say, ooh, somebody
will do it, and the speaker sits still he
is not the one to do what needs doing.
But nobility of character, looking at
necessary things, says, Somebody must
do it; why not To And the deed is
done.-C bGtterboG.

A Long Walk in His Sleep.

A Hartford man is. most remarkable
somrambulist, if the story he tells is
true. He found himself, on Wednesday
morning, at Hayden's Station, ten miles
from his home, and said he hadn't the
slightest recollection of making the jour-
ney thither. The last moment when he
was conscious was about IL o'clock, when
he lighted cigar and went to the front
door. He had evidently walked all the
way on the railroad, and the wonder is
that he wasn't killed, for he met three
trains of cars. He says his brother made
a similar trip about fortnight ago, and
that he had sometimes walked about the
house In his sleep.

A Novel Deer Tran.

A Monticello paper says that an excit-
ing chase after deer took place at Black
Lake few days ago. The animal, not
needing his near approach to civiliza-
ton and consequent danger. ran through
the village. Three residents of the ham
let immediately gave chase. The deer
ran toward the saw mill, and by some
means his head caught in the icicles near
the race, and while in the position he
was captured alive. The deer has been
allotted prison pen, where he is enjoy
ing every privilege except liberty.

stepped on a charred, rotten trunk, and
he fell directly before the blood-thirsty

The boy climbed the tree put ne

But Fido seemed suddenly transformed
from the poor sneaking cur into savage
and heroic dog. He flew at the bear,
hung upon his ears, and worried him
until he quite forgot Robert, and hasten
ed after his persistent adversary. Fido's
side was bleeding, but he bravely contin-
ued the fray, hiding under brush and
behind logs, and barking furiously.
Robert could only cheer him on from his
place of refuge.
It began to grow dark, and the boy
began to give up all hope. Presently ne

Better Business Prospects.
[From the New York Graphic.]

From the New YORK OrapnlC.J
The belief that new impulse has been
given to the business activity of the
country is not matter of conjecture o
of hope. There are certain signs thai
afford positive proof not only that there
is better feeling in the community now
but that it has been growing for some
time.
fFrom the Syracuse Courier.l
The business houses that have been
able to weather the storm of the past two
years come forth stronger than ever.
The ackly things that have gone down
make only clearer field for those that
remain. The promise of the year to
those that still stand is, with prudence
and economy, reasonably fair. The
worst of the storm is probably over.
Henceforth, beginning with this Cen
tennial year, We look for smoother sail
ing.
TFrom the Boston Advertiser.]
It is almost needless to recapitulate
the reasons that exist for believing that
within very short time we shall see a
general revival in all kinds of trade. 1t
is known that the West has not only had
good crops for the last three years,
but that the effect of those crops has ap-
peared in the trade of the entire section.
Business is active there, and the people
do not experience any of the evils of
hard times. They were never in better
condition, if we may trust to the reports
which the gatherers of news obtain from
merchants themselves. The South is
also said, on equally good authority, to
be in condition of greater prosperity
than has been known there since the
war.
From the Toronto Globel
The depression which has existed in
commercial and financial circles through
out the United States for some time past
appears to be gradually passing away,
and the people are beginning to take a
hopeful view of the business situation.
The general belief of the mercantile
public in New York undoubtedly is that
the main causes of the crisis have been
removed, and that q slow but permanent
Improvement may be anticipated. In
the Western States business men are
congratulating themselves upon the
fact that trade is brisker there than else
where, and that though the recent imam
cial troubles Dealt heavy blow to Their
industries the effects are rapidly disap-
pearing. The South is slowly but surely
iquidating their outstanding liabilities.

With spirits ever light.

Or play with ball or stringi

With all her cepeTs gay.

And sleeps her time away.

Help from the PeHi,en,iary.

| Babcocl's ingenius counsel managed
during the trial to make several strong
points against their client. In attempt
ing to show that the relations which
had existed between Rabcock and
joyce were simply social and political,
a number of letters from the former to
the latter wete put in evidence tits
significant fact that all these letters
viii. the exception Of one were written
previous to 1873. But there is a still
more striking circumstance connected
with them.
The letters, it should be remembers
ed, were in the possession of Joyce up
to within three months of the trial, and
were furnished by that convict to help
out Babeeck's case. The mode of
transmission came clearly to the light
at the trial. Joyce's wife had taken
the letters to Ex-Governor Fletcher,
and by him they had been placed in
Judge Krum's hands. The prosecu-
ton forced Fletcher to the stand in or
der to bring out these facts, and to
show that the relations which had cx-
listed between Babcock and Joyce \,
1873, 1874 and 1875, had not been sun
aered by Joyce's conviction as a thief,
and his sentence to the penitentiary.
Here we have the letters, sent from
the pepitentiary by Joyce to Fletcher,
his attorney, given by Fletcher to
Krnm, Babcock's counsel, and by
Krum employed to save Babcock from
the necessity of joining his old social
and political friend in the very place
where the evidence originated.
1t is not hard to understand Joyce's
motive in reaching through prison bars
to lend a helping hand to Babcock.-
However the convict might have
longed for the solace of the Sylph's ge.
nial companionship, his interest did
not lie in the CONVICTION of bis old
friend. A Babcoct, acquitted, yindi,
Gated, powerful at Washington, could
serve hin mach hetterthan q Babcock
