There is at this timo great deal
of speculation with regard to the
proper man to fill the Chief Justice
ship, and no little sectional preference
exhibited concerning it. Now, all
this sectional feeling is entirely, we
think, out; Of place. We, ourselves,
care not fig who be elected, provided
he fill the following indispensable re-
QUESTIONS: An able, jurist, pure, un-
sullied and honorable man, and IL
sound Democrat. We want no othor
qualities than those, and we caro- not
from what portion of tho State he
may hail. When men arc chosen to
office moro on the ground of personal
preferences, than on that Of ability and
integrity Of character, VIC need not be
astonishcd to see corruption in public
officials, and States hanging on the
verge Of ruin and prostralion. We
have no objection to cauousing, for we
believe that it is perhaps tho surest
and best way TO get q man combining
the above named qualities. ......

EFFECT OF WORD. PAINTING, Rev. DR.
Guthrie, visiting an artists studio, ven
tured to criticse an unfinished picture
The artist, with some little warmth, re.
marked, "Dr. Gulhie remember you are
a preacher, not II painter" Beg your
pardon, my good friend" replied the cler-
gyman; " | an painter; only paint in
words, while you use brush and colors.'
Two anecdotes Illustrate the effect oi
DR.. Guthrie's pulpit pictures:
One Sunday afternoon, there stood in the
dense crowd, u few yards from the pulpit
of Free ST. Johns church, Edinburgh, u
rough, short-set man, Highlander and
Il cattle drover. He was evidently strnn-
ger, both to the city and DIR Guthrie. The
drover was, save as now and then he took
pinch of snuff. rlveled Ivy the preachers
eloquPce, Towards the end of the ser,
mon. Just us DR.. Guthrie commenced II
prolonged illustration, the Highlander
took ont his snuff null, but arrested by
some picturesque word, he stood motion
less, his hand raised with the snuff between
his fingers, his head thrown back, his eyes
and mouth both wide open.
The instant the preacher hld completed
the passage, the drover, applying the snuff
with II gu,to to his nostris turned to the
crowd behind, and exclaimed audiby,
" Ma, sir! but neUer heard the like O.
that !"
On another occasion. Or. Guthrie de
scrihed a shipwreok, and the launching of
the life-boat to save the perishing crew. So
vivid were the colorS of the picture, that
the appalling scene appeared actually to
take place before The eyes of the audience
A young naval officer, sitting in front
seat of the gallery, sprang to his feet and
began taking of his coat, when his mother
pulled him down. So carried away was
he by the scene, that he was ready to man
the life boat, and it was some time before
his mother could make him realize where
he was.

There is but one Saratoga in the world.
1t never can have formidable rival. A
combination Of circumstances make it
unique and peerless. First among these
may be mentioned its early reputation,
Long before the white man had become
acquainted with the Western World long
before Columbus had gazed upon the beau
tiful Antilles and erected the cross of San
Salvador, The Healing Spring" was
known and appreciated by the red sons of
the forest; and set upon their shoulders,
through long miles of trackless wilderness,
the white man was first conveyed to test
its health giving properties.
The knowledge of the healing qualities
of these waters, dating back from time
immemorial among The aborigines, and
transmitted TO the pioneers of civilization,
established an early reputation which has
grown with the growth of the country and
strengthened with its strength.
All other things being equal, each sue
ceeding year sees greater and still greater
numbers Aocking to drink its healing wa
lers, and each year Witnesses a greater
and still greater quantity shipped to all
parts of the country. This cannot be said
of ony other watering place on the conti-
nent.
. Another and still more potent element
of this ever-growing and ever-ncreasing
reputation is to be found in the number
and diversity of its mineral springs. Not
less than twenty-five of these are noted
springs, and every one OF them differs from
the other in the analysis of its waters.
Within the last few months new spring
has been discovered near the High Rock
Spring, whose waters are strongly charged
with magnetic properties, and which has
been found beneficial in chronic diseases
| saw IL gentleman who is using this wa
ter lift one end of small door-key with
the point of his pcn-knife solely by the
magnetic pewer communicated TO the
knife by carrying it in his pocket.
Two of these springs Champion
and the Geyser-throw continual stream
from thirty to fifty feet high, and such is
the amount Of mineral substance held in
solution by these waters that any substance
upon which they fall soon becomes coated
with smooth covering of solid rook
These two springs contain an unusual
amount of carbonic acid gas.
But the purpose of this article is to no.
tice the causes which have combined and
are still ut work to make Saratoga the
great watering place of the Western
World. There is another and potent ee-
mont of growth. 1t is this: Men of
wealth from all parts Of the country have
come there and built their splendid sum-
mer residences, and this attracts others.
SO that beautiful forest city is being
steadily built up by the muniicence of cit
liens, mainly American, whose permanent
homes may be found in almost every state
in the Union, This promotes social inter
course among citizens from all parts of
the land, and this friendly association, du-
ly cultivated, will have its legitimate effect
in aiding to make us in fact, rs we are in
name, one people. ROLAND.

A PRETTY CoNCEIr.-When Gilbert
Stuart, the American artist, was young, he
went to England. Though inexperienced,
he secured the patronage of the nobility
The following anecdote shows that even
In his youth he had the artists brain for
conceiving beautiful and suggestive
scenes:
Stuart visited at Scion House Zone of the
country seats of the Duke of Northumber-
land), where he painted the Duke and two
of his children He inquired of the Duke
if he had any particular fancy about the
composition of this picture; after some lit
tie conversation he said, :" think my girl
has found out that she is very pretty. aud
the boy has discovered it, and, like true
boy, is fond of teasing her about it."
Stuart took the hint, and painted picture
of the girl looking at herself in the water;
the boy behind her throwing a stone In to
spoil the mirror.

may also be observed a good view of Mt.
Washington, up the ravnes of Mt. Wash
'Sylon river. Upon the left Mt. Crawford
with its furrowed :ides may be seen. Fur
ther on the succession of precipices on Mt.
Crawford, known as the giants stairs, are
in full view. At Bemis station, the old
Crawford House, the former summer re-
sort of Daniel Webster, with its great Or
chard of thrifty apple trees, near Il century
old, bring memories Of the past. The
house though somewhat dilapidated is still
occupied.
Near this house we cross little torrent,
usually small stream, known ms Nanry's
Brook. This flows from Nancy's Pond
upon the side of Nancy's Mountain. which
is as a monument TO the memory of girl
by that name, who came up through tht
notch with Col Whipple soon after his
settlement. A hired servant of his gained
her affections, and under promise of mar
riage she trustel her lover with all the
money she had, it being paid her by Col.
W., for her services, and the arrangement
was for them to 90 to Portsmouth and be
married. False at heart he FASTENED
away on his journey, leaving her behind.
There were then no roads, dense wood
through the notch, and 80 miles to the first
house. Spotted trees and the mountains
on either side marked the way. and the
piercing winds of autumn were severe.
In vain her friends tried to dissuade her
from following him. She expected he
would camp for the night just through the
notch, and if she kept on her way all
night she hoped 70 overtake him there. All
night she travelled in the wind and storm,
reaching his campfire while the ashes
were yet warm. But he had departed.
She tried in vain to rekindle the fire. but
failed. Wet, cold and hungry, she yet
made one desperate effort to overtake him,
bur her senses became gidrly and beside
this brook she lay down, never more TO
rise. Fearing for her safety, the next
morning her friends followed, trucking
her in the light snow they found her frozen
stiff. The lover of this unhappy girl hear
ing of her horrible death became insane,
and after Il few weeks died II mailman.
The mountain gorge now widens out in
to n valley. Directly ahead may be seen
the summit of KarSargo with large
white hotel upon its lip.top. That you
may understand the curve of this valley,
look out for this mountain now and then.
You will next see it to the right, then
again at the left, as you sweep round its
base. The snow is still quite deep, hut it
gradually lessons as you get nearer SEA
level, and at length, almost disappears.
Upon my return next day all was bnthed
in sunlight. The streams were no more
than one-fOurth the size, yet tumhled over
the same icy channel, and were very beau
tlul, can only say us | close that in
this romantic route you are always en-
tertained, Autumn, winter, spring and
summer all have their peculiar attrac.

UNFINISHED WORK. Nothing teaches
more impressively mans lraility than his
unfinished undertakings. Lying in the
quarry near the Syrian city of Baalbec is
the largest worked stone in the world,
gigantic block nearly seventy feet in length
almost detached and ready for transporta-
ton to its niche in the gigantic platform of
the Temple of the Sun. 1t seems as
though the workmen had just momen-
tarily left their labor, and we fancy that
we must soon see them returning. But
forty centuries or more ago some providen-
lial emergency called them from their
work; and there lies the huge block, and
yonder is the cyolopean wall with its va
cant niche, one Of the most striking and
impressive of the unfinished labors Of the
world.
