In spite of the reports to the contrary, if you

II CASE IN POINT.
DON Piatt in the Washington Capital.


The fall of Fitzhugh was melancholy
in some respects, extremely ludicrous in
others, and very comforting in the moral
it affords. That doorkeeper to the
house Of representatives should be man
of high culture-at least of grammatical
attainments-is not positively necessary.
We suppose his duties pertain rather to
opening door than to spelling the word,
and he might spell it as he pronounced
it, "doah," and yet remain first-class
official of that sort. We knew a senator
once who spelled "Jesus" with little
"g," and when he got on the atmos-
pheric condition of the hour, gave friend
of his very bad spell of weather by
writing it weaghther." He was good
sort of senator fer all that, carrying as
much dignity as senator Conkling, SO
that no one would suppose that under
his lofty bearing he hid disregard of
photography that startled a spelling bee
out of all propriety. He told us once,
referring to this defect in his early edu-
cation, that he had tried to correct the
difficulty, and to this end had purcashed
Webster's Unabridged. "But it's no
good" he cried. al spent half day
looking for the word physician-it isn't
thar" We organized ourselves into Il
court of inquiry, and found that the
senator had been hunting down the I'M
ATTENDING word under the cold scent of
the three letters, "fz."

THE BRITISH MONARCHY.

The following is an extract from a
speech recently delivered by Mr.. Cowan,
member for Newcastle-on-Tyne, in the
British house of commons:
"The right honorable gentleman, the
prime minister, had told them that the
throne of this country depended for its
support on the spirit of the people. He
quite agreed with that opinion. The
monarchy did not rest on soldiers bayo-
nets or policemen's batons. 1t did not
even depend on law, but on the good
sense and right feeling of the people.
While they recognized that fact, how
ever, it was only right for them to re-
collect also that there was no fanatical
belief in the abstract principles of mon
archy in this country. Hear, hear
The doctrine of divine right was killed
on the scaffold with King Charles, and
went out with the commonwealth. The
people of the country supported the
monarchy because they knew from ex-
perience that they enjoyed under it's
rule as large an amount of well ordered
liberty as any other people in the world.
The country, under its guidance, had
been prosperous, and the people compar-
atively contented and happy. But if
there was any attempt to establish a
species of scholastic empire, to drag into
our constitution tn forms and principles
of Imperialism, honorable gentleman OPP
posite would soon find that the supersti-
ton of royalty had no real hold on the
people of this land"
In abiding to the above remarks Mr..
Lowe, M. P, said in the course of his
trenchant speech: "The honorable gen.
tleman spoke like an honest Englishman,
not only with frankness and fairness, and
carried the house with him, and 1 hope
we shall often hear his voice raised with
similar manliness and similar effect"

In California. where everything is big,
the biggest lunatic asylum in the world
is now being erected. 1t is bigger, at
any rate, than any similar building in
the United States, although there is one
of about the same size in New Jersey.
The circuit of the California asylum falls
only two hundred feet short of a mile in
extent. 1t is to be built of stone, with
carved corridors up to the roof, and with
the words " Dignitas and "Opulentia"
everywhere engraved. 1t is to cost
$1,15O,00O. Maple, redwood and marble
a1ornments will embellish the interior.
The society in this institution will be the
choicest in California, and the inmates,
happy in their escape from! the atmos-
phere OF humbug that Ipervades the
social and business circles of the state
outside the walls of the asylum, will
dwell in dignity and opulence, and thank
the gracious power that made them luna
les instead of knaves.

FIXING HISTORICAL DATES BY rs.
TRONOMY.

A German astronomer, Hansen, was
the first to fix the date of an ancient bat
tie by determining the date of the eclipse
which is mentioned as having occurred
at the same time. The French Egypto-
logists have profted by the astronomical
knowledge of the ancient Egyptians to
verify some of their hieroglyphic records.
The careful orientation of the pyramids
is well known; and the fact that the en-
trance passage to the principal ones was
inclined downward at an angle exactly
suited for the observation of the move
ments of the star which was the pole-star
at the time when the pyramids are be-
lieved to have been built, was used as a
confirmation of the received chronology,
and as support to the notion that they
were BULL for astronomical purposes.
Up to the present time, it is said, only
three dates in the history of the ancient
Egyptians had been established with alb
solute certainty; viz, 1900, 1910 and
962 b. c., the last of these dates be-
ing that of the taking of Jerusalem by
Sbeshonk L., the Shishak of the bible.
A cartouche Ga royal name enclosed in an
oval figure) has been at length deciphcrcd
by NJ. Chabas, and proves to be the name
of the Pharoh- Menkeres, the builder of
the third and smallest of the pyramids
at Gizeh. Attached to this cartouche is
an astronomical note stating that the
hcliacal rising of the star jSothis occurred
in the ninth year of the reign of this
Pharaoh. AS this star is known TO be
our star Sirius, it is easy to fix the rare
periods of its heliacal rising; that is, the
time when the star, having been in con-
junction with the sun and for that rea-
son invisible, energies from the light of
the sun sufficiently to be seen just before
SUNRISE This heliacal rising has been
computed by NJ. Blot and M. de SauIey,
French astronomers, 10 have taken place
somewhere between the years 30O7 and
500 9. &. This fixes the date of the
third pyramid at Gizeh, and assigns it to
an epoch which ante-dates the oldest
fixed date in history by more than ! 700
years.

DR.. SCHENCK's PULMoNIc SYRUP, SEA WEED
Tonic, AND MANDRAKE PILLs.-These medicines
have undoubtedly performed more cures of Con-
sumption than any other remedy known 10 the
American public. They are compounded of vege-
table ingredients, and contain nothing which can
be injurious to the human constitution. Other rem
edies advertised cures for Consumption probably
contain opium which is a somewh hat dangerous drug
in all cases, and If taken freely by consumptive
patients, it must do great injury; for its tendency
is to confine the morbid matter in the system,
which, of course, must make n impossible
Schencks Pulmonic Syrup is warranted not to con-
tain particle of opium. 1t is composed of powerful
but harmless herbs, which act on the lungs, liver,
stomach. and blood. and thus correct all morbid
sercerions, and expel all the diseased matter from
the body. These are the only means by which Con-
sumption can be cured, and Schencks Pulmonic
Syrup, Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills are the
only medicines which operate in this way. i, is
obvious they are the only genuine cure for Pumon-
airy Consumption. Each bottle Of this invaluable
medicine is accompanied by full directions. DIR.

Commit the day unto the Lord, for
you will need guidance, and grace and
strength.
Your will is likely to be crossed, and
your temper ruffied; you will find
out that every one at home has an evil
nature like your own; this may disturb
the harmony of home, and you will need
wisdom to judge between what is right
and what is wrong; what you should
yield, and what you should hold. Family
prayer is mighty influence for good,
and God directs us to ask for what we
want. Seek, then, daily grace for daily
need, for eff thou seek Him, He will be
found of thee" and cas- thy day SO shall
thy strength be-"
Home can never be made happy with
out good temper. 1t is like the flow n
that grows up in our pathway to revive
and cheer us.
A soothing influence is felt by the
whole family where there is good dis
position, and the temper is not easily
ruffied. When the working man returns
home at night, wearied by the tolls of
the day, and is inclined to be fretful; if
he is met by the kind word, and the
wife is not easily provoked, how soothing
and quieting it is to his spirit. 1t is
like sunshine falling on his heart, and
he learns to say, "There is no place like
home"
Study each ones disposition and char
acter, and seek to influence them for
good. Watch for little opportunities OF
pleasing them, and show that you are
anxious for their spiritual and temporal
welfare. Pray for each one and sympa-
thize in their SORROWS, and rejoice in
their joys. You must give an account
to God for your influence, either for
good or for evil. Let it be done all for
God, so that in the great day of account
it may appear that you have not lived
in vain, but acted up to your respon-
sibility.
You can not as a parent exert an in
fluence for good without gaining the con-
fidence of each child. Avoid GOODNESS
and apparent neglect, for by so doing
you will drive your child to make con-
fidants of those who will influence it
wrongly. You will help to shut out the
home peace and happiness from your
child's life. "a Sabbath school teacher
was trying to impress upon the mind of
an interesting little girl, between six
and seven years old the debt of gratitude
due from her to her heavenly Father for
bestowing upon her so good and kind a
parent, whom everybody loved; the
teacher was astounded with the child's
answer, looking her full in the face, with
her soft blue eyes, she replied, "Father
never speaks kindly to me. "-Standard.
