In Memory Of Samuel BOwIes,

Time takes away the things he lends us
The lives that lead uB while they live,
Laughter and weeping that he sends US,
The joy that lifts, the fear that bends Us,
Are fugitive.
Yet years in passing may not alteri
Deeds that descend throughout all years
They make not fail nor cause to falter
Memory of one who soorned to palter,
And knew not fears.
He was man indomitable,
A lord Of men in midst of strife;
The soul of him. imperishsble,
Past change, is risen invariable
To larger life.
Was he too often filled of scorning,
His speech too scathing, faith too slight?
Too hard and bitter was his warning?
Had he small hope to see the morning,
Breakup the nightS
These faults Of him vers transitory--
They died with all his mortal part;
Past this worlds pitiable story,
His iron scorn transmutes to glory
A golden hearth

PARIS eats a thousand horses month and
pronounces them good. The German siege
seems to have wonderfully developed the
taste for horse-fesh. A banquet was given
by Emile Decroix the other day, and all the
dishes were horse. The weak point of the
feast is said to have been the salad, dressed
with oil taken from horse feet. One would
have set that down as a strong dish.

The Temperance cause was never more prosperous
In the State than now for which we should be most
profoundly grateful. Still there are important sub
jects which will demand our attention. Shall we
ask for any change or amendments in the PrOhibi-
tory Law? Shall we protest against granting license
to sell intoxicating liquors to the druggists? Shall
ask for any stringent penalties to be inhict-
ed upon persons found intoxicated? These, and
other important questions will doubtless demand the
attention of the convention.
Let there be general rally. The usual reduction
of fare on the railroads may be expected.

her productions is Democratic legislator,

ARE PAT PEOPLE HEALTHY

Why are fat people always complaining
asks some one who entertains the popular
though erroneous notion that health is
Synonymous with fat Fat people complain
because they are diseased. Obesity ia an
abnormal condition of the system, 10 which
the saccharine and oleaginous elements of
the food are assimilated to the partial
exclusion of the muscle-.orming and BRAIN
producing elements. In proof OF this, it
IS only necessary to assert the we'll known
fact that excessively fat people are never
strong, and seldom distinguished for men
tai power or activity. Besides, they are
the.easy pray of acute and epidemic diseases
and they are the frequent victims of govt,
heart disease, and apoplexy. Allan's
Anti-Fat is the only known remedy for
this disease. 1t contains no acid, is absol-
utely harmless, and is warrented to reme-
dy the most confirmed case of obesity, or

A Desperate Struggle tin the Uxion


Probably one of the most desperate
encounters took place 10 the Union Office,
yesterday, that ever transpired 10 an edi-
torial sanctum. It commenced with the
responsible editor and before the
stubborn antagonist could be got
ten rid of the whole Office down to the
printers had to be drawn into the melee.
The amount of pluck exhibited was truly
remarkable considering, the circumstances
and the fact that it is the first time in
seven years" that such foe has entered
to disturb the usual intellectual calm that
has for seven years" pervaded that Office.
This encounter, and the curious victory
that followed, places the editorial corps,the
printers, pressmen and carrier boys Of the
Union in the front rank of journalism-a
way up towards the head Of the long line
of highly intellectual men who have pre-
sided over the Union, ev On including Brig
adler General Barnes. The history of
that Office contains no instance of strug-
gle that can be compared to that of yes

wall and the way he hunted that idea about
the room, up stairs among the cases, dowr
in the cellar under presses; hacking it
cutting it, and cleaving it in twair

upon the shoulders of Judge Lynd'
and the other half fed to the sick chamber
of Major Beardsley. But in the morning
the columns of the Union bore no traces
