The Berlin Mission.

A report is current in Springfield,
Illinois, {ths capital of the Stats) that
Judge David Davis is ready to resign
bis seat in the U. S. Senate and accept
the Berlin mission, in which case Sena-
tor Oglssby, who was defeated by Lo-
gan, would take his place. 1t is init
mated that kilograms have been forwar-
ded to Washington urging the Presi-
dent to consent to the arrangement.
The Springfield Journal, referring to
this rumor, says: at is not difficult
to See why Judge Davis should be will
ing to resign. 1t is known that he ia
= disappointed man. When he resign
ed from the Supreme Bench Of the
United States, to take a position in the
Senate, he expected to become great
power in Congress. He imagined him
self sagacious politician and great
statesman. Possessing in an eminent
degree the qualities of the Judge, he
utterly lacks the requisites Of the leg
islator.
By his dodging Of issues, voting one
day with the Democrats and the next
with the Republicans, he finally lost
the confidence Of all parties, as we'll as
what little influence he at first possess-
ed, and sank into utter insignifcance.
His case and that of ex-senator Chris
tiancy are somewhat similar. Both
made good judges, and in their judicial
capacities gave universal satisfaction.
Both imagined themselves great popu-
lar leaders, and especially designed to
add dignity and tone, and to purify
the moral atmosphere Of the National
Congress, and both were equally mis-
taken. They will both make good dip
lomats, and in their new positions,
(should Judge Davis be appointed
will feel themselves At home"

SECRETARY Sherman has told the
Washington correspondent of the Gin

own a single Government bond, and as
to National bank stock, he has
but 1000 worth in Mansfield, Ohio

happens, he owned both before the

that if the politicians so much interest

him, he would make out an inventory

they would then find that the stories OF
his great wealth are false.

THR CRY COUNCIL last evening did
not handle the proposed new water bill
with much spirit, the life seeming to
have been knocked out of it by the op-
position it meets with. 1t was post
poned without debate until Thursday
evening when it will no doubt be left
to sleep soundly in the pigeon holes to
which it is consigned. There is merit
in the bill, and strong argument to be
advanced in its favsr bnt it cannot rise
above the heavy debt under which the
city is laboring.

thwart any attempts that may be made
by grave-robbers. Two men will watch
by night and two by day, the orders of
Mrs. Powers being that their vigA shall
not cease for two years. To the tomb

locked in case that the men will car

the grave inserted into it every half
hour, and will be inspected twice a
day, to see that it has been carried to
the grave at frequent intervals. Five
years ago, when Mr.. Powers son Henry
died, father and son now lay side by side,
a similar vigil was kept. One day Mr..
Powers saw one of the watchmen on

Discriminating Charity.

CARELESS, unreasOning, uninvesti-
eating, indiscriminate giving by any
almoner or society is not charity; it is
mere impulse. Charity is a principle,
and seeks not only the relief of the in
dividual, but the welfare of society.
There should be the utmost discrimina-
ton, which consists neither in whole
sale pity and lavish giving, nor in
wholesale condemnation and refusal to
give; but in the exercise of a duty,
under the instruction. of experience,
and under the inspiration of sincere
love for God and man. We believe
that the most beneficent charity to the
destitute poor is to. find aud secure
work for them and help them to be self
supporting; that in the dispensation of
public charities nothing should be given
as simple aims where another way of
assisting can be practiced consistently
with the dictates of humanity and
Christian duty; that able bodied, habitu-
al and professional beggars, whether
located in our midst or tramping
through the country should receive
nothing which they do not earn; that
the needy should be discouraged from
crowding into the city; and that. so far
as possible, those applying for assist
ance should be provided with work in
the country, and, as between the city
and the country, always in the country.
and that simple aims should be given
in a single instance only after full and
exhaustive investigation. and continu-
ously only upon repeated observation
and inquiry.-Hartford Cstv Mission
Gry's Report.

than three parts expanded. Shapely
buds, rather long than round, are the
most elegant, and if two are used they
ought to match in size and style. One
of the drawbacks we have to contend
with in the use of roses for the button
hole is the brittleness of the footstalks
just below the calyx, at which point
the flower commonly breaks off. To
avoid this it is well to pass a piece of
Tying wire,' used in making up
bouquets, once or twice through the
base of the bud, bringing the ends
down portion of the stalk. If neatly
done it will not be noticed. Everyone
should have little tube, filled with
water or wet sand, out of sight under
the lapel of the coat, into which to
pass the stalk, otherwise the flower
will soon become limp and stale. There
is no background for roses equal to
to their own foliage, but it must be in
good condition.-Garae,aer's Chronicle.

Impure Meats.

WHAT an immense loss our people
are mourning by throwing away all
their hogs which die of the cholera,
quinsy, or any other disease, as well as
the cattle which are dying of black
leg, smut or hoven! Some people are
very squeamish. Beside, now is a
good time to save our indignation to-
ward those providcnt farmers who kill
their chickens to save their lives, and
sell them to city lovers of poultry.
Beside, it is now time for those socie-
ties, established to preserve the public
health by warning the people against
eating cattle and hogs manned, bruised
and maltreated by transportation on
cars, to disband. They are no longer
needed. At a late meeting of the Brit
ish, Medical Association, and reported
in the London agricultural Gazette,
many eminent medical men stated that
only in very rare cases is the flesh of
diseased animals, when eaten, inju-
rious to health if thoroughly cooked
by heating to Pig deg. Fahrenheit. DR..
Samuel Drew, Of Sheffield, famous in
medical science, stated that there is no
evidence that animals dying of consti-
tutional or local diseases are in any
way injurious to health, or when
slaughtered when i'll of disease. He
states that the shepherds and laborers
on the farms in Scotland, when any
sheep are found dead, their bod
les are dressed and eaten without
ill effects. And he states that
thousands of oxen, during the siege
of Paris, which died of rinderpest
or were in the last extremity of the
cattle plague, were consumed as food
without any harm to the consumers;
and that during the rinderpest in En-
gland thousands of cattle in all stages
of the disease were slaughtered and
eaten without any i'll effects. And in
Bohemia, in 1868, after cattle had been
buried to prevent the spread of the
rinderpest, the peasants dug up and
ate them without any bad results. And
the still further nauseating fact is
stated that in the siege of Paris, the
flesh of glandered horses was used in
great quantities with impunity.
But the great purifier in these cases
was fire. Heat, they contend, kills all
germs of disease, whether it be trichine
in the evidently healthy hog, or the
bactaria of DR.. Detmers, which causes
the cholera, as well the virus of the
rinderpest, the CHAMBERS or any other
lOathsOme disease.
While we may hold up our hands in
horror at the wastefulness of our peo-
pie throwing away dead hogs, cattle,
sheep and chickens, we adhere so firm
ly to the traditions of our fathers, and
have so much respect for the Lev;tical
law, we beg our friends not to put any
of these things in ours.-lova State

Tact.

1t was once Causeur's good fortune
to spend few days in the modest home
of a friend of slender means, a home
that was all that its owner could afford
to make it, yet lacked many things
that would have made it more comfort
able and convenient. During eau
seur's stay two guests were entertained
at tea, both of them men of means and
wide acquaintance, accustomed to all
the luxury that wealth can give. But
they were widely different in their be-
havior. The first dwelt upon the fact
that the house was in an out of-the way
spot, and that there were few or no
neighbors. At table he told of the de-
licious tea he had drank at the house
of one friend, of the rich tea-service
he had seen upon the table of another,
of the rare old china that was used in
his own household, and of the dainty
meals he had eaten from it. In the
cramped little sitting-room after tea,
he sat by the stove and talked of the
delights of an open wood fire, of his
enjoyment of rare and costly books
and pictures, and of twenty other
things that the host, of whose hospi-
tally he had partaken, did not and
could not possess. When he had gone
it was clear, although nothing was
said, that his visit had caused pain,
that it had made the wife feel her
straitened circumstances more keenly
than ever, and cast a shadow over her
husbands thoughts. The next even
ing came the other visitor. He brought
good cheer in his very face. The room,
he said, felt so warm and comfortable
after his walk, which, he added, was
just the thing to give man good APP
petite for his supper. At table he
spoke of everything that was nice, con-
graduated his host on having such a
snug little home, apologized for eating
so much, but couldn't help it because
it was $50 good'' and tasted $50
homelike," liked the old black teapot
because it was just like the one his
mother had when he was a boy, and
told his hostess, who was all smiles
and as happy as a Queen, that she
ought to thank her stars that she had
no gas or furnace TO ruin the flowers
that made her room look so cheerful.
After tea he insisted that the children
should not be sent to bed "just yet;"
said he wanted to tell them a story, as
he did; and, when he had done, and had
kissed them goodnight, they trudged
off upstairs with beaming faces, under
the guidance of a mother who felt that
a ray of real sunshine had entered her
home, making it better and happier for
all time.-Bosto,s Transcript.
