Grains of Gold.

Civility is always safe, but pride Gre
ates enemies.
Better break thy word than do worse
in keeping it.
The perfectly. contented man is also
perfectly useless.
Try to see yourself through the eyes
of those around you.
The longest and darkest nights of all
nights is the night of despair.
The ideal saint of the young moralist
is cut from sappy timber.
Never write when in anger; your
writings may condemn you.
When rich rogues are merry, honest
folks may go into mourning.
He who loses his temper in an argu-
ment, loses the argument also.
The character that needs law to mend
1T is hardly worth the tinkering.
Moderation is the silken string run.
ming through the pearl chain of virtues,
He who has dollars for his subjects,
is, unfortunately, the king of most men.
We should esteem virtues, though in
a foe; and abhor vice, though in a
friend.
Advice is like snow; the softer it falls
the longer it dwells upon, and the deeper
it sinks into the mind.
No man was W cast down with the
injuries of fortune, unless he had before
been deceived by her favors.
Prefer n to wit; never seek to be
diverting without being useful; let nc
jest intrude upon good manners.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1878-12-12
Funerals in 1875.

Funerals touched weddings at the
point of feasting in those days, and were
often very expensive, snowy and pom.
pous occasions. In some parts of the
country, especially around and in New
York, it was the custom for a young
man to lay by his earnings after coming
of age, until a sufficient sum had accumu.
lated to provide for him a "respecta.
Bile" funeral when he should come to
die. Oftentimes he would reserve half
the portion of wine which he had liber-
ally laid in for his marriage, to be used
at the funeral of himself or his wife.
Special invitations were sent out for
funerals as for parties. The clergymen,
%pallbearers and physicians attending
were provided with scarfs and gloves and
sometimes each with a mourning ring,
while the feast which followed the in
termeut at the house of the relatives of
the deceased, elaborate with cold roast
meats, wines, liquors and pipes, was not
unfrequently an occasion of coarse ex-
cesses, sometimes descending into hilar-
ious and noisy demonstrations. A ere
spectacle" funeral of this description
might cost perhaps 81, 200, and some
times as high as 500, 00O.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1878-12-12
Ancient Anatamisfs.

The ancient anatomist must have felt
a zeal for the science which makes the
imagination shudder. 1t reached to
nothing less than dissecting men alive;
for this purpose the bodies of criminals
were devoted. Herophilus, a Greek
physician of Chalcedon, who Hourished
$40 years before the Christian era, is
said to have been one of the first who
dissected human bodies. Tertullian
says he dissected them alive; but Cocchi.
who published a Dissertation in 1875,
denies that he was guilty of this bar
barity. Herophilus, by ar unprecedented
spirit of investigation, discovered, as
some report, the ~lacteals, the nerves,
with their various uses, the glands, the
pulse, etc., and gave to the different
parts of the human frame the names
which they still bear.
The dissection of dead bodies was, at
no very late period, looked on as a sac
rilege; and the Emperor Charles V or
dered a consultation of the theologians
of Salamanca to determine whether, in
point of conscience, a body might be
dissected in order to obtain a knowledge
of its structure.
In the month of January, 1474, the
physicians and surgeons of Paris repre-
sented to Louis XII that several persons
of condition were afflicted with the stone,
collie, pains, and stitches in the side
that it would be proper to inspect the
parts where these disorders were engen-
dered; that the greatest light they could
receive would be from performing an
operation on a living man, and there
fore they begged that a franc-archer,
condemned to be hanged for a robbery,
who was afflicted with these complaints.
should be delivered up to them. Their
petition was granted, and the operation,
the first in l~ithotomy vel made, was
publically performed in st. Severin's
'Church-yard. After the operators had
examined and made their experiment,
the bowels were replaced in the body,
which was sewed up, and so well dressed
that in a fortnight's time the man was
cured and pardoned of his crimes.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1878-12-12
Addrs.. of The National Party.

The members of the Central Executive
Committee of the National party have
issued an address to the people of the United
States reviewing the rise and progress of
the party, predicting continued success and
a rapid spread of its principles, and e1-
pressing the confidence that the party will
elect its candidate for President in 1880,
with majorities in Congress and nearly all
the State Legislatures. The address
denounces the action of the banks, speak
ing through the Clearing House Associa-
ton of New York, and says: The contest
is not between the Republican and Demo-
cratic parties, it is between the money
power and the people, between bank bills
based on untaxed bonds and a government
legal tender currency, and the people nave
no chance whatever of ever securing their
emancipation from industrial thralldom,
either through the party of the money
power, the Republican party, or its ally, the
Democratic party. An appeal is made for
organizations in the interest of the National
party in every school district, city, town,
and ward.
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1878-12-12

ing the terms of a letter received from the
Amer of Afghanistan. Although the reply
is dated 10th, noon, it is believed here and
at Lahore that the Ameer wrote it after he
received news of the capture of Fort Ali
Musjid, which took place on the 22d ult.,
and that he ante-dated it in order to save
himself the humiliation which would follow
the appearance of being terrified by that
event. The letter reached Dacca on the
30th ult., and was received at Lahore
on the 7th. The Ameer, who writes in a
very conciliatory spirit, says his refusal TO
receive the British Mission was not dictated
by any spirit of hostility to England, or by
any desire to form a hostile alliance with
Russia against England, but simply by the
fear of the loss of his independence. He in.
sists upon his desire to resume friendly
relations with England, and invites the
Viceroy to send to him a small and friendly
mission with whom he may arrange terms
of peace and amity. The war is now con-
sidered as practically ended, and the Gov
eminent will come nj of it with flying
colors. Popular exultation runs high.

G-ensationnl Suieide.

A suicide of a somewhat sensational char
actef occurred at the fremont House, in
Indianapolis, recently. The report of a gun
fred in the room of a boarder named Jacob
Schall was heard throughout the hotel, and
soon after the terrible discovery was made
that the unhappy man had killed himself by
shooting away the entire upper part of his
head. Blood and brains were spattered over
the wall and ceiling, and the body of Schall
presented a sickening appearance. De-
ceased was about forty years of age, and had
for some time been out of employment. A
letter which had evidently been written a
short time before the fatal shot was fired
was found lying upon the table. 1t was as
follows:
"MY DEAR FRIEND GRIMM: You will
please pardon me for committing such a
rash act in your house, but 1 could not ask
pardon beforehand. NY SONS will pay
you what 1 owe you. Give my body to the
doctors; that will avoid funeral expenses"
