ton, states that II appears rom It's own re-
cords that prior proceedings had been had,
by which the said person had once been ad-
judged insane, and still remained under said
adjudication, and therefore the inquiry
prayed for is refused. Held, That whether
the decision of the Probate Court Was right or
wrong was question that could not he in

II is announced that the banks OF

have already inaugurated the new
regime of specie payments by taking
currency in exchange for gold, dollar

legislation to declare the greenbacks

currency to q premium over gold, SO
that it will be but slowly rendered for

It is further announced that the Ad-
ministration will commence the expert
ment Of resumption on the part OF the
Government about the first of October
instead of waiting until January. thus
giving the experiment practical test
in advance of the time set, and easing
the possible pressure by anticipating
the law by few months.
The most significant fact in this con.
pection is the statement that the bank.
srs are now beginning to sniff at the
four, four and half. and even the five
per cent per snnum bonds, in view o.
the prospects of an immediate revival
of business.

Leaving no semblance of bloom or of balm;

We are done with dead roses to-day, my dear,
Done with them to-day and forever.

The wee little tress 50 golden,--

We are done with old losses and crosses, my

Done with them to-day and forever.

But love Is fragile, and Love will thrive

Two Bright Dogs.
Some one tells this little story of t,

Some one tells this little story of two
small dogs: Ia
"My friend had several dogs, two of
which had a special attachment to and
understanding with each other. The one
was Scotch terrier, gentle and ready to
fraterniZe with all honest corners. The
other was as large as mastif and looked
like compound between the mastiff, and
the large, rough stag-hound. He was fierce,
and required some acquaintance before
you knew what faithfulness and kind
ness lay beneath his rough and savage
looking exterior. The one was gay and
lively; the other, stern. and thoughtful.
"These two dogs were observed to 90
to certain point together, when the
small one remained behind at a corner of
large field, while the matif went around
by the side of the field, which ran up a
hill for nearly mile, and led to wood
on the lett. Game abounded in those
districts, and the object of the dogs ar
rangement was seen. The terrier twould
start a hare, and chase itup hill toward
the large wood at the summit, where they
arrived somewhat tired. At this point
the large dog, which was fresh and had
rested after his walk, darted after the an
lmal, which he usually captured. They
then ate this hare between them, and re-
turned home. This cours, had been sys-
tematically earned on for some time be-
fore it was fully understood"

On Bathing.

Halls Journal of Health don't, believe
in too much water, for it says on the sub
ject of bathing: Once week is often
over, and whether IN summer or winter
that ought to be done with soap, warm
water and hogs hair brush, IN room
showing at least seventy degrees Fahren-
heit. Baths should be taken early in the
morning, for it is then that the system
possesses the power of reaction in the
highest degree Any kind Of bath is
dangerous soon after a meal, or soon after
fatiguing exercise. No man or woman
should take bath at the close of the day
unless by the advice OF a family physi-
clan. The best mode Of keeping the sur
face of the body clean, besides the orce
week washing already mentioned, is as
follows: AS soon as you get out of bed
in the morning, wash your face, hands
neck and breast; into the same basin of
water put both teet at once for about a
minute, rubbing them briskly all the
time; then with the towel, which has been
dampened by wiping the face, feet, etc,
wipe the whole body we'll, fast and hard,
with mouth shut and chest projecting
Let the whole thing be done in less than
five minutes. At night, when you 90 to
bed, and whenever you find yourself
wakeful or restless, spend from two to
five minutes in rubbing your whole body
with your hand so far as you can reach
in every direction. This has tendency
to preserve that softness and mobility of
skin which is essential to health, and
which too frequent washing will always
destroy. II.

fact of its increased prevalence in orr

But bears some heartbeat slow away:
Up and on to the vast To Be,

But the way to heaven is growing clear,
And the gates of the city fairer shine:
