Sometime ago we published an
item which charged our townsman,
j. {, Parker with having par
licipatcd, while a member Of the leg
hiaturc, N the enactment OF certain
N assures which were 10 rebound TO
his personal advantage and profit. In
an interview we had with him soon
after the item had appeared in this
column, he Mr. P,) criticised the
statement as un,rulhlnl in fact, and
affirmed that he was not u member of
the legislature at the time the meas =
urcs referred TO were enacted. 1t is
due Mr.. L. that our statement should
be corrected and suitable reparation
made, Ills explanation should have
been offered by us at the time, and it
would have been noticed but that it
had escaped our mind and been
thought Of no more until few days
ago, VIII en- friend suggested that jus
tce be accorded Mr.. p IN the matter.
At or about the same time we penned
another item which may have done in
justice 10 the same gentleman. We
say may have done," because the
item, though strictly legitimate and
truthful as Il matter OF fact, was ney-
erhcIess capable Of double constitute
ton, or. more strictly speaking of con.
yeyiug Il different impression. Refer

cejning the sale Of pork which proved

WHY IT PAYS TO E A

Ones physical frame his body, his mus
cles, his feet, his hands-is only q living
machine. 1t is mind, controlling and di-
recting that machine, that gives it power
and efficacy. The successful use of the
body depends wholly upon the mind-upon
its ability to direct the will. If one ties his
arm in a sling it becomes weak and finally
powerless. Keep it in active exercise, and
it acquires vigor and strength, and is disci-
plined to use this strength as desired Just as
ones mind by active exercise in thinking,
reasoning, planning, studying, observing,
acquires vigor, strength, power of concen-
tration and direction.
Plainly, then the man who exercises his
mind in reading and thinking gives it in
creased power and efficiency, and greater
ability to direct the efforts of his physical
frame-his work-to better results than he
can who merely or mainly uses his muscles.
If q man reads q book or paper, even one
he knows to be erroneous, it helps him by
the efforts to combat the errors. The com
bat invigorates his mind.
OF all men, the farmer, the cultivator
needs to read more to strengthen his rea,
soning powers. SO that they may help Out
and make more effective, more profitable,
his hard toll. There can be no doubt that
that farmer who supplies himself with the
most reading-the most of other mems
thoughts and experiences-will in the end,
f not at once, be the most successful.

MEDICINAL PLANTS In CALIFORNIA.

1t has Long been known that the climate
Of our Pacific States offers singular advan-
tages for the cultivation of certain foreign
plants from which valuable medicines are
extracted 1t is only quite recently, how-
ever, that the flora of that coast has been
specially studied with a view to ascertain
the economic value, for medicinal purposes,
Of the native plants. A chemist Of Cnlifor-
MIA has given this subject attention, and
finds that there are many plants there
whose products are called for in modern
pharmacy. The Eucalyptus alo5ulus the
Yer6d buend, and the ~Cdnchalagud, are
already widely known. The Grindeiia TO-
6ustd, which grows throughout the State,
supplies a balsam of n resinous character,
most abundant in the buds, but found in
all the juices of the plant. As O cure for
the eruption occasioned by contact with the
"poison oak" the balsam is accounted
almost a specific. It is also in demand in
the Atlantic States as a remedy for asthma
and bronchial affections. The leaves of the
eucalyptus, serving as the stufing Of a pill
low, have been found beneficial in reliev-
ing ineuralgic headaches; and a ~tincture
prepared from the leaves has q variety of
uses in medicine. One Of the newest of
vegetable drugs is obtained from Ver6d
santa, Il Snown also as gum weed
mountain 4. wild peach, md bears
weed. Til. ,#i,rs contain q resinous SUBJ
stance highly spoken of as m Ingredient in
cough mixtures, and for the cure Of bron-
chial and laryngeal disorders. The collec-
ton and drying Of medicinal plants in Cali
fornia, for shipmentto manufacturing chem
lists at the East, is gradually becoming o
business of Importance.

FISH BY THE SQUARE MILE.

Some faint idea of the vast and mex.
Laustible number of fish on our shores may,
perhaps, be obtained by a consideration of
he fact that yesterday no fewer than 5000
barrels of porgies were caught off Newport.
If the sea, through the Vineyard and Long
Island Sounds is anywhere near as rich in
,orgies, mossbunkers and other varieties OF
he most abundant kinds of fish what an
animaginably ~teening world of life there
must be beneath the waves! And it is,
nven more than the striving. pushing world
If human life, a scene of rapacity and de-
struction-the stronger preying upon the
weaker and 1.-THE survival of the fittest."
Enormous as this single days catch of por-
gies seems, it is surpassed by some Of the
Dig hauls of bony- fish or mossbunkers--the
'whitefish of the evil -smelling fish oil
mills on the shore. These creatures actually
swarm in millions and are caught and hauled
in by the cargo. Schools of voracious blue
dsh pursue and drive them Tipping and
flashing to the surface, where they are
promptly bounced upon by the sailing fish
hawks and sea gulls hat wait for them out
Of water. In the sea and on the land the
world seems to be q scene of shark and
tiger, in one or another form Of destructive
rapacity.-1He Hartford Times.

1t was a grim and ghostly bit of deoep-
ton, surely; but when we remember that
the poor mother had been turned from
house after house because exaoting land
lords would not admit children to their
tenements, we may certainly find excuse
for her. The day was wearing away. and
her Door strength WINS wearing and failing
with it At length. she saw the sign 7S
Let exposed in the window Of n comfort
able looking tenement near to the little,
old stone church, and while she stood and
considered, an idea entered her head. She
bade her children go into the churchiyard
every one, and look Mt the headstones and
monuments until she called them; and
when she had seen them-six of them-all
beyond b stile, she turned her steps to-
wards the advertised tenement An alarm
upon the iron knocker brought q sharp
laced, bee.ls-lr-wed man to the door, to
whom she made known her business. She
would like to hire the tenement hat was
under the roof to be let.
Al the old, old question first Of all
" How many brats ye got?"
Do You mean how many children, sir ?"
"Umph! It's all one-Yes"
My children are all in the c~hurch-yard,
sir !" And she lifted the corner of her
apron to her we; and she vas not hypo-
w III unns, luz bnc mans neartiess
speech had deeply moved her.
ugh ! / s'pose it's kind O. hard to lose
children but they're better off 30! Well
you can look ut the rooms, and If they
suit. p'r'aps We can make q bargain"
The bargain was made, and put in black
and white; and an o later the woman
appeared with a small load Of furniture,
and six children. The Landlord swore
w~rathfully, and declared that the "brats"
should never come into the house but the
mother brought an officer. who, when he
had read the contract Of lease, and found
that the tenement was the woman's, to do
with it MS she pleased, children not being
debarred, inducted her safely into her
quarters-herseif and little ones-bidding
the landlord to have a care lest the law
should surprise him. Not only the law,
but the great public heart, being on the
mothers side, the deluded Mnwworm was
forced to succumb.
