to the surprise Of every body, has himself
called public attention to the scandal
which his friends would have liked to
have had buried and be forgotten. When
it was reported sometime ago that reso-
luton would be offered to investigate his
conduct, the idea was hooted ut, because
it was well known to any one at oil famil-
lar with the subject OF Congressional priv
ilege that it was a matter with which the
House had nothing whatever 10 do. A
day or two ago Acklen stated to several
friends his purpose to make personal ex-
planation. They tried to dissuade him
from it, aud showed thatit was only stir.
ring up very nasty subject; but he was
headstrong, and would not listen to any
advice. Henot only made his explanation
and declared his innocence, but wound
up by asking the House TO investigate
him, and plead almost piteously that his
request be granted. The almoust unani.
mouse sentiment OF his fellow-members
was that such thing was unheard Of, and
could not be done. What Acklen dwelt
upon particularly was. that nearly oil the
Committee that had investigated the sub.
ject had ignored the social question, and
had looked at it entirely in its political
bearing. This is where the shoe pinches.
The scandal affects him socially in very
marked degree, and he is almost entirely
ignored in society. By his course to-day
he has invited new criticism, as his deClara'
ton OF innocence on the floor OF the House
has not yet strengthened him any more
than his recent card to the newspapers did
The general verdict Is that Ackien made Q
large sized donkey OF himself, for he has
by his own act, made this scandal part o.
the official history Of Congress.

Wanted.

Wanted-a man, good, honest and brave,
Who doth all the vices eschew,
Who'll battle undaunted his honor to save,
To himself and his fellow men, true.
Wanted-a woman, no feminine tame,
Like fashion and prejudice make,
a creature of folly, just woman in name
But woman as God did create.
Wanted-a friend, that shall stand by our side
When friends and prosperity speed;
E 'en faithful through all though others deride,
A friend that's a friend in our need.
Wanted-a Christian, one who can feel
For the sinner who ever he be,
Who'll pray with the sot, with the Magdalen
kneel-
From schisms and hypocrisy free.
Wanted-sweet truth, and constancy rare,
And faith, of a tangible shape,
And justice, and mercy, and charity fair,
This earth bright Eden to make.

Wants Us to Eat Our Food Raw.

A German physician in relation to
food as between animal and vegetable
holds that both vegetarians and meat
eaters are on the wrong track. Veg6ta-
bles are not more wholesome than meat
or meat than vegetables, and moth
ing is gained by consuming COM
pound of both Whatever nutritive
qualities they may possess" he says,
care destroyed in great measure and
often entirely by the process of cooking.
All food should be eaten raw. If this
practice were adopted there would be
little or no illness among human beings.
They would live their apportioned time
and simply fade away, like animals in
wild state, from old age 1t is hardly
probable that ne will find many civilized
beings to fall into his views of eating
everything raw

AROmance Unearthed by an ADVERTISE
ment.

A Washington letter says: p. j.
Donahue, a lawyer of this city, has filed
n petition in the supreme court on behalf
of Thomas Mclaughlin, of New York,
Jane Mclaughlin, of Brooklyn, Michael
Mclaughlin, of South Carolina, Cath
crime Egan, OF New York, Philip Nc
Laughlin, of Providence, r. l., and
Archibald Mclaughlin, of New York,
being the brothers and sisters and heirs
of Jane Howard, deceased. The prop
erty to be divided is Il plot of valuable
building lots in the most aristOcratic Dor
tion of Washington. The death of Mrs.
Howard has always been wrapped in
mystery. In the early part of May last
the discovery was made that Jane How
ard, who had lived alone and followed
the life OF a hermitess, almost denying
herself the necessaries of life, and whose
vocation was fortune telling, had disap-
peared. Herabsence created alarm, and
upon breaking open the door of her mis-
erable shanty an appalling sight met the
gaze of the police officers. Upon the
squalid bed lay the body Of the old lady,
from which life had evidently departed
some ten or twelve days previously; it
was decomposed and partially eaten by
rats. BY the charity of friends and
neighbOrs the remains were decently in
tered, and an advertisement was insert
ed for possible relatives. Through this
medium the above persons were prompt
ly heard from. 1t is said they have un-
doubted proof of their heirship, and the
property will be sold and the proceeds
| divided among them.

An Old Hens last {" Lay"

Once man of great invention
Made nest for hens to lay in,
With mean deceitiul bottom,
That would slide and let the egg out
Falling through n small aperture
Thon would slide and close the hole up;
And he sold it to the owner
OF a hen, the boss producer
OF most delicate hen iruitage."
Now the hen was mighty gritty,
And she spread herself TO do it,
SO she laid an egg enormous;
Thcn arose in great elation,
With her feathers all a-flutter,
And her body all a-cackle,
And she said, Gas sure as shooting,
have laid an egg exceeding
My most sanguine cackleations,
Far beyond my eggspectation.
Where's that egg? May stars and garters
In the name OF all Ewes daughters
Can not believe my senses
Surely have not gone crazy!
Well, if this don't beat the dicken,
May never hatch chicken"
Long sho pondered DER the matter,
Ger this strange hallucination,
Ger this most complete deception;
Then she squared down to business,
And she laid another avis,
Though ofc purse it was a-missing,
Though she scratched around the litter,
In her efforts to espy it
Bat why make the story longer
Thus in fatal repetition,
Oi this cggy operation,
Passed the day until the evening,
When the owner came to find her,
Found her naught except her wattles,
. Half her bill and some pin feathers,
While within the box beneath them,
Where that tooling slide had dropped them,
Found he eggs n hali-a-bushel
Conc, heroic IIenawatha!
Died she in the nest OF duty,
Victim OF mans vile deception.
Surely she must have interment
With that nest rs her sepulchre,
For she layed herself within it.

NeMsnaners and knowledge.

Newspapers of the present day, re-
marks New York paper, contain ar
ticles upon subjects in science, literature
ard art, which twenty-five years agonO
editor would have ventuped to publish.
This fashion has its Objectionable points.
II tends to encourage superficiality, to
engender cOnceit. and to lead incompe-
tent persons to form opinions upon very
insufficient knowledge. But on the
whole its tendency is good. A little
knowledge is not dangerous unless it is
misused; and all knowledge, however
great, must be little in its beginning.
The fashion of administering literature,
science and art in small and simple doses
brings great numbers of people under
their influence who otherwise would re-
main without tincture of any one of
them. People who would not touch any
bound book but novel will read
little paper-bOund pamphlet or maya
zine article, or if not equal to one of
these, an article in newspaper upon II
subject in which they would otherwise
remain in absolute Ignorance. In this
way thought is stimulated and the appe-
tite for knowledge provoked. This is one
of the means by which the present time
has become one of such general intellec-
tual activity The mind of the world
at large has been excited TO action by
little books on great subjects.

One prong of the fork struck him under
