Messrs. Packard and jackson some
'ime since sought TO remedy the def
.;ent water supply of the fat around the
school house at the eastern end of this
town, by taking water from the creek
vest of Henry Jackson's residence and by
means OF an hydraulic ram forcing il up
the hill to his door yard TO tank there
made to hold it; from thence it can be
taken in pipes all over that part of town.
This improvement is now in successful
operation, is of pubic interest, and will
add to the value of property there.

The Kentucky Giant.

s''~ $AaS%hes
Captain NJ. V. Bates, the Ken
tucky giant says that after trav-
elling over the world, he is con
vinced that the human race is
not desenerating physically, but
that the men OF to-day are more
robust and taller than they
were several centuries ago.
While IN London, he visited
the Tower where armor of not
ed soldiers in English history is
kept, and he is confident that
not one in ten of the average
men Of to-day could get inside
of the war covering OF those
military heroes, who figure in
song and story. The Captain,
while in England, devoted con-
siderable time to an investiga-
tion Of the legend Of English
giants. The gigantic proper
tions Of Og, Cog and Magog,
the guardians Of the Tower CEN
turies ago, are matters Of his
tory. Og was the ta!lcst of the
trio, and his suit Of armor lies
in that venerable and interest
ing pile. Og is said to have
been eight feet four inches high,
yet Captain Bates tried to xset
into the deceased giants fight
ing costume, but found it entire
ly too short. 1t was wide
enough, however. The Captain
upon investigation, found that
the system Of measurement had
been changed years ago, and,
ten and one-half inches being
the foot at the period when Og
dourished, although he must
have been Il tremendous fellow
could not have been more than
seven feet three inches, accord
ing to modern measurement.
Then he visited the Museum,
where the skeleton of Murphy
hangs. He was said to have
been nine feet, but by Captain
Bates calculation could not have
been over seven feet seven.
Then Chang, the Chinese giant
who was on exhibition at Man.
chester while Potter Palmer's
gigantic guest was in England
was visited. Changs vanity
was taken down by the Captain:
who, after divcstlng him OF
thick -soled boots and a high
head-dress, measured only sew
en- feet eight inches. Chang
announces that he is nine feet
| high.

The little town of Beacons-
field, in Buckinghamshire. from
which Mr.. Disraeli took his title,
is associated with the career of
three men Of genius. 1t stands
on an eminence, from which its
lighted beacon, in former ages,
could be seen far and near,
whence it's name Of Beacon's-
field. Edmund Burke resided
here during the whole of his
political career, ard here is his
grave. Edmund Waller, the first
lyric poet of his time, found
Beaconsfield his favurite and
constant residence, and it is his
last earthly resting place. His
magnificent seat of Hall Barn
still remains. Edmund Burke
refused a peerage with the title
Of Lord Burke Of Beaconsfield.

At this time he commences to CRY, and

his Jacket collar back from his neck,

bits of hair from the top of his head

COOP WORDS FoR JOHN MORRIS
sEY.-He was not subtle enough to
be capable of drawing o distinction
between betting on horse race and
betting on the rise and fall CT
stocks between betting on the turn
of particular card and betting that
particular man viii rot die, or a
particular house burn down, or a
particular ship get wrecked. If it
be said that the prominence attained
in our politics by man who led
such a life is disgraceful thing,
the disgrace attaches to the com
munity and not to the man. And as
we are afflicted to-day with the pre-
dominance of other men who have
led lives as inconsistent as his with
the developments of the higher
qualities of human character. with
out overcoming as far as he did the
expressing influence of their cir
cumstances. it is. but simply just
to bear this in mind. Friend and
foe at least always knew where to
find him and he never struck below
the belt. He was rough but real
specimen of natural manhood.
Would that the country could say
as much o-day of some better men
in higher places.-N. 7. World.
Apropos of Lord Leitrim's
murder, the London Daily Neirs
remarks: at is curious that al
most all the more violent crimes
which mark Irish society are
perpetrated in districts in which
there is a strong infusion of
English and Scotch blood. Tip
perary, where the soldiers of
Cromwell were settled, has been
the centre and headquarters of
the most brutal outrages. Kerry,
which is almost purely Celtic, is
as peaceful as Kent or Wilt
shire perhaps more so. Ul-
ster, where the Scotch and Eng
llsh settlers abound, is the most
violent and turbulent of the
provinces. The mixture of the
Saxon and Celtic blood seems to
produce a violent and int1am-
mable compound, possessing dan
gerous qualities from which the
separate elements are free

THE DUTY OF LIFE.
ny CARRIE BELL SINCLAIR.

LOOK not mournfully back to the Past
The presents the hour for duty,
And life, be it ever so dark,
Has moments OF sunshine and beauty,
Look upl for the sun Is still shining,
Although black cloud may be there;
Remember the bright silver lining
From under the cloud may appear.
SIT not with the hands idly folded
Each one has duty to do,
And If Life has its sti u2gles for others,
why have only pleasures for you?
Seek not to pluck only the ross,
FAINT not in the heat of the strife:
But put on the armor of courage,
To fight in the battle of Life.
Look around on the highways and gather,
Not only the flowers so sweet
But take up the stones that are bruisIny
Some weary, worn travellers feet;
Seek out some cool spring in the desert,
And give to the lips that are dry
Speak kind word of hope or comfort
To each soriowing one who goes by,
Pluck thorn from some poor bleeding boso,
Make strong some faint heart for the strife
Rouse up the weak feet that have fallen
All, this Is the mission Of Life;
ASK not If the world will applaud you
No matter since duty is done;
There's One who will better reward you,
with the crown you have faithfully won.
