Two brothers, equally enterpris-
ing and ignorant, once owned a
hippodrome. They ordered some
statues for the yestihule from an
eminent Italian in Covent Garden.
The efigies of the heather diyini-
ties arrived in due course, but n
of the brothers, considering that,
Notwithstanding the unclad condi-
ton OF his purchases, a little orna-
ment would improve their personal
appearance, had them Utterly plas-
tered with gold leaf. The talented
artist called shortly afterward to see
the effect of his work in its new
location. When he beheld Apollo
and Venus, and other NEUROLOGICAL
celebrieties, all begilt, he lifted his
hands, and in an agony, exclaimed
to his patrons: eff Michael Angelo
were to see this sacrilegelp The
brother, who was witness Of the
sculptor's agony, was equal to the
occasion. Don't take on about
it," he said soothingly; "you Just
bring your friend Mike around here
some day-my brother George will
make it all right with him. YOU Law
your life. What'll you drink, dear
boy?"

This was Joseph Mazzini's idea
of Life-with a large Las re-
hearsed in a hitherto unpublished
letter: "Life is an aim-an aim
which can be approached, not
reached. 1t is not mine, now, to
give a definition of the aim; what
ever it is, there is one, there must
be one. Without it life has no
sense. 1t is atheistical and, more.
over, an irony and a deception.
Life is no sinecure, no recherche du
BONNER to be secured, as the pro-
INDICATORS of the theory had it, by
guillotine, or, as their less energetic
followers have it, by railway shares,
selfshness, or contemplation. Life
is, as Schiller said, "a battle and a
march,; a battle for Good against
Evil, for justice against Arbitrary
Privileges, for Liberty against Op-
preston, for associated Love against
lndiyidualism; a march onward to
Self, through collective Perfecting
to the progressive realization Of an
Ideal which is only ~dawning to our
mind and SOUL"

ces. The provision for recess found in
the electoral bill was applicable to another
stage of proceedings but not to the exist
ing stage. II the house now took recess
until Monday it could take one from Mon
day till Tuesday, and from Tuesday till
Wednesday, and so on till congress had ex-
pired and thus defeat the performance of
the constitutional duty of the house. He
trusted that the chair would not make a
decision which would involve the house in
this trouble.
After further discussion the point OF or
der was overruled by the speaker. He held
that the clause in the fifth section of the
electoral act which is: "While the two
houses shall he in joint meeting no debate
shall be allowed, ETC., and which had been
referred TO, had no pertinency to the ques-
ton. The portions of the act which had
pertinency to recess were, fret, part Of
the fourth section which provides that elf
there DO objection to the report Of the
commission each senator and representa-
tive may speak ten minutes" and that af-
ter such debate shall have lasted two hours
1t shall be the duty Of each house to put
the main question without further debate.
He thought that under that direct clause
rncess could not be taken at any other
time than the present. II the debate had
been entered upon motion to take a re-
cess would not be in order. The other por-
ton of the bill bearing on the subject was
that part of the fifth section which reads,
"And no recess shall be taken
unless question shall have arisen
in reference to the counting of such
votes or otherwise under this act, in which
case it shall be competent for either house
acting separately, In the manner before
provided, to direct recess of such house
not beyond next day Sundays excepted) at
ten o'clock in the forenoon. 1t was fact,
the speaker continued, that this was the
first time when the question has arisen,
and it having now arisen for the first time
the chair thinks it is competent tor the
house to take recess uutil Monday at ten
o'clock, if its judgment so directs.
MIR. Hale-Theu the chair overrules the

Speaker-The chair overrules the point

Mr.. Hale-I respectfully appeal from

We publish upon the first page OF to-

E. Hit, at the meeting of the Board OF
agriculture, at Wallingford. This paper
has created no little discussion in all parts
of the state. Tho Poultney Journal in
referring to 1t gays:
"The question was raised at the meeting
ing of the late Board Of agriculture, at
Wallingtord, and sharply discussed. The
subject was introduced by DR.. j. e. Hit
OF Wallingford, who read paper on the
Farmers body" He took the ground
tuhJ PhiolSohJt
and attributes the loss of physical power
to their mode of life and their lack of ex-
ercise. On this position he seems to have
been vigorously opposed by several farmers
and others who were present and among
them Noble, of Tinmouth, Lincoln, of
Clarendon, Douglas, of Whiting, and by
Pres. Buckham and Maj Rounds. We have
great respect for the opinions of those gen
tlemen who opposed DR.. Hit in this dis
cussion-but our own private opinion
would sustain DIR. Hit. The writer's re-
collection reaches back nearly fifty years,
and we believe as much as we believe our
own existence, that not only farmers but
others have deteriorated physically, and we
should attribute this to thes causes that
DR.. Hit does, to wit, the change in the
mode of life, and the lack of exercise. We
shall not discuss this subject at length in
this article, and may recur to it again. We
think DR.. Hit struck the key note 1t is
subject which of all others is the most i'm
portsnt to be considered at the present time
in connection with agriculture. Men do
not want to work. AS the boys would say,
"thats what's the matter" in these times
with the farming interest.

THE PRESIDENT ON THE SITUATION.
He Expresses Himself on Number OF
Doubtful Points.

WAsntNoToN, Feb. IL.
The president tonight in the course of
conversation said 1t had appeared to him
that the democrats of the house by abrupt
ly taking recess yesterday intended to OBJ
struct the counting OF the electoral vote,
but on his being informed that many prom
inent democrats had disavowed any inteu-
ton to engage in more dilatory proceed.
inge, that tomorrow they would take &C
ton in the Florida case and that their
delay was merely for the purpose of ex-
aiming all the papers as they appeared
this morning In print, he said he was
be gained by sesisting the regular order Of
business. In speaking OF the intention Of
the democrats to make an objection to a
counting OF the electoral vote of Illinoin,
on account of the alleged inelgibility of
Chaffee, one of the electors, he said he did
not see how the vote of the state
on that account could be re-
iected, and If the objections were
made 70 chaffe only the democrats
could derive no benefit from it. He thought
1t but fair that IL state had voted for
either Hayes or Tilden, the full vote of
such state should be counted according to
its political complexion. Although he
hoped Hayes and Wheeler would be de-
clared elected, he felt somewhat uncertain
as to the result, because he could not fore
see what would be done with the case Of
Louisiana. 1t would be recollected that four
years after his canvass for re election the
two houses resolved not to count the elect
oral vote OF that state. Although the rea-
sons in the two cases might not be similar,
there seemed to be some uncertainty on
the subject. Should the vote be possibly
excluded Hayes would in that case be de-
feated and Tilden not elected, the latter
not having received majority
of the votes of all the electors
appointed, and therefore the election of
president be thrown into the house of rep
resentatives, leaving the senate to elect the
vice-president but be this as it might he
was satisfied there would be no disturbance
Of the place as both parties had committed
the determination of the disputed points 10
the tribunal constituted for that purpose.
The republicans are in better spirits than
the democrats in view of the final result.

JOHN P. PHAIR.
The Way He Passes His Time.

Morton, the correspondent of the Boston
Journal, who has visited him, says that
John p. Phair, the condemned murderer,
sentenced to be hung on the 9Th of April,
put his right hand through the bars and
shook hands with me. He spoke in a
tremulous voice, and was undoubtedly Ia
boring under great mental agony. He said
he was innocent of the crime for which he
was to be executed. l told him that 1
feared there was no hope for him. He re-
allied the fate which awaited him, and
said, eyes, and the time is growing very
short for me to live. did not know until
day before yesterday that the governor
could not commute my sentence or pardon
me; that it took the action of the legisla-
ture. The only action the governor could
take would be a reprieve."
Phair spoke for some moments regarding
his past career. When 1 told him that I
had only an hour previously read his death
warrant, which was in the bands of Sheriff
Stimson for his execution, the tears trickled
down his cheeks and he then, more than
ever before, realized the doom which await
ed him. He passes his time in solitary con-
fnement and reads the religious books
given him. The execution will be az pri-
vate as possible. Already numerous ap-
plications for tickets have begun to come
to the sheriff. But very few will be issued
besides those given TO the proper repre-
sentatives of the press, and these will be
limited.
