WeStOn,S Stimulant

Weston, the American pedestrian, has
contributed something to the general
stock of information In England. Iu-
quisitive medical gentlemen who watched
him during his public exhibitions dis
covered that he used 'scoca" habitually
as stimulant. "Coca" (which is a
totally different thing from cocoa-is a
plant indigenous to the high lands of the
Andes. 1t is well known in Peru, where
the dried leaves are chewed by all classes,
as tobacco is here. The symptoms of
intoxication produced by It comprise
heightened temperature, quickened
pulse, sJrong desire for active locomo-
ton, with increased sense of strength
and agility, followed by apathy and
sleep, from which the patient wakes
without debility or unpleasant feeling.

THE LITTLE FOLKS.
Frogs at School.

Frogs at School.
Twenty froggies went to school
Down beside rushy pool:
Twenty little coats of green,
Twenty vests all white and clean.
+sWe must be in time," said they;
First we study, then we play;
That is'how to keep the rule
When wefroggies go to school,"
Master Bullfrog, grave and stern.
Called the classes in their turn;
Taught them how to nobly strive,
Likewise how to leap and dive
From his seat upon the log,
Showed them how to say 8 Ker-chog"
Also how to dodge , blow
From the sticks which bad boys throw.
Twenty froggies grew up fast;
Bullfrogs they became at last;
Not one Ounce among the lot,
Not one lesson they forgot;
Polished in high degree,
AS each froggie ought to be;
Now they sit on other logs,
Teaching other little frogs.

rACILE DESCENSUs.

When the qualities OF first-class
patriot are combined with those con-
servative qualities Of head and heart
that form the modern "practicdl man. "
nature has done her level best. Com
mon mortals, pursuing the hum-drum
existence of honest and honorable en-
deavor, dwindle into insignificance by
these splendid creatures. Their gor-
geous establishments, their splen-
did turnouts, their liveried lac
uuies and elegant trappings. strike
awe into the hearts Of Gods sim
pier people, who follow the straight
and toilsome road OF integrity and
truth. It has hitherto been some con-
ISOLATION to these simple folk, to reflect
that .'the great heart Of the people
beats heavily at the portals OF the
grave" of one of their kind. Ii was
both solace and incentive to higher
reaches after that beauty which lies in
truth and sincerity and right.
It was, in country nominally con-
trolled by public opinion, Of great mo-
ment to secure and maintain good
name. The voice Of the people in this
regard was automatically conceded to
be "the voice of God" But from mod
ern developments in social and political
and business circles, 1t would seem that
these simple ones have been laboring
under huge delusion.
Crooked whisky, cotton and sugar in
business, crooked morals and crooked
piety in social life, gift taking and bril-
berry in political life. and the brazen
effrontry with which exposures of cor
ruption are met by open perjury, this Is
the ripe fruit which the 'tree Of liberty
offers to the Centennial appetite. :
The daily exposures before the Con-
gressional committees Of the Democra-
tic House sickens the soul, and makes
hope falter and good aspirations die.
Nothing but the terrible retribution
of popular scorn and condemnation can
stay this corrupting tide. Democracy
chastened and purified by the long years
OF circulation and disaster through
which the people have passed under
Radical rule, is the only arm strong
enough to redeem the country. Let the
jibbering clamors Of petty politiciant
who seek division FOR private ends, b.
brushed aside, and let the people act
unitedly and earnestly in the coming
campaign and there may yet be good
cause tor Centennial rejoicings.
