Another Story Of Caleb Cushing.
Concerning Caleb Cushing it is
chronicled that when first as an am.
bilious young lawyer he entered the
Massachusetts, Legislature, he was eager
to exhibit his ability in speeches. One
day he e~laborately ridicnled another
member, = rough, uncultivated, dog
matte old farmer, to whose quaintness
members generally were disposed to
defer. The old gentleman was amazed
and angry At Cushing's attack, but kept
his seat until the young mar got through.
Then he rose. walked over to Gushing,
shook his hand in bis face, and said:
"What do you mean, young man, by
abusing me in this wayS If you don't
look out, We won't have you here,
speaking your pieces" These last three
words we're 70 palpable . hit upon Nj.
Cushing's oratorical style, they were
spoken 90 contemptuously, that the
whole house laughed and the old farmers
triumph vas complete. "a

Advice to CONSERVATIVES.

Tit celebrated physician, DR.. Paul Memeyer,
gives the following valuable suggestions to
persons suffering from lung affections: "The
patient must with s%crupulOus conscienticusness
insist upon breathing fresh, pure air, and must
remember that the air of closed rooms il al
ways more or less bad. y No man.
however uncleanly, would drink muddy, dirty
water. A party which occupies a room for
hours, breathing the same arr, might be COM
pared TO q party Of bathers drinking the water
in which they hathe. The patient must keep
the window Of his bedroom open. Night air is
fresh air without daylight. In close. crowded
rooms, the patient suffering from lung COM
plants breathes consumptively." BY taking
these precautions and using DR.. Piercs's Gold
on Medical Discovery and Pleasant Purgative
Pellets, fully one-half of the cases Of lung
complaints would be cured in six months. For
cough and irritation Of the lungsdo not always
indicate the presence Of consumption, although
it may result in that disease, and if consump-
ton has already become deeply seated in the
system, this ia the most efficient course Of
treatment that can be pursued outside of any
institution that provides special facilities for
the treatment OF this disease. DIR. Pierce's

A source or much fsOdIly EVIL.

II the habit Of body becomes irregular, much
evil is inflicted on the system. The stomach
becomes dyspeptic, bilious symptoms develop
themselves, the circulation ia contaminated,
and the nerves share i'll theg general disorder.
It is Of the utmost Importance that the bowels
should be thoroughly and speedily regulated
when they grow derelict. The corrective agent
best adapted to this purpose is Hostetter's

thartics invented since the time Of Paracelsus.
People who have been in the habit of using blue

trums for constipation should abandon such
hurtful and useless medicines, and substitute
for them this pleasant and gentle aperient,
which not only produces the purgative effect
naturally. but also strengthens while it regu-
lates h bowels, stomach and liver. It more
over cures and prevents intermittent and re-
mittent feyers, govt, rheumatism, debility and

ANCIENT RECORDS.

Soma Of the Interesting Relies Of the
Past in the New York surrosate's
omce..Tom Paine's Will.
Agreeable to may promise, | called at
the surrogate's Office, and through the
kindness Of Morgan A. Dayton, for

Kingston, and a member of the

lowed to examine the different records
of that Office, some of which are of
wonderful age, interesting and peculiar
in style and subject.
The first book to which my attention
was called was the oldest on file, a book
of willr, bearing date 1865, 2l4 years old.
The paper is of the most crude and pecu.
liar texture; fully as rough as the
coarsest brown wrapping paper, of a
yellowish tinge, but Of remarkable
strength and thickness.
The writing is very legible, the ink
retaining a positive black. The chirog'
raphy is plain and different but In one
respect from the present style, i. e., the
number of the authorizations. The or
biography, the most noticeable change
from the present system, go entirely
different from that we are accustomed
to, makes some of the sentences almos
unintelligible and articulation an i'm
possibility.
The general character of the persons
executing these instruments, a we'll a
the generation, impressed me with the
simplicity and evident absence of dis
trust in the possibility of being legal.

The Way They Rob i'm Russia.

Russian baggage cars do not carry
baggagemen. The car is sealed when
it leaves, and the seal broken when any
thing has to be taken out or put in. AT
least, that is the explanation of some
very ingenious stealing which went on
fourishing month after month on the
Kursk, Charkov and Azov railroad, I'M
til last December, when it was de-
tected. There were several accom-
plices, who used great trunk or chest.
One of them was put in this and shipped
in the baggage car. AS soon as the car
was sealed he crept out, broke open the
best-looking trunks of the other passen-
gers, selected the most valuable articles
and put them in his own chest uutil
there was only room enough left for
himself, when he shut himself in. At
the next station his accompuces re-
ceived the chest, and unpacked the thief
and his booty.

Bananas.

Few people who see bananas hanging
in the shops of fruit dealers think of
them as more than tropical luxury
The fact is, they are staple article of
food in some parts of the world; and,
according TO Humboldt, an acre of ba-
nanas will produce as much food for a
man rs twenty-five acres of wheat. It
is the ease with which bananas are
grown that is the great obstacle to CIV
ilization in some tropical countries. 1t
is 30 easy to obtain living without
work that no effort will ever be made,
and the men become lazy and shiftless.
All that is needed is to stick sucker
into the ground, and it will at once
sprout and grow, and ripen its fruit in
twelve or thirteen months without
further care, each plant having from
seventy-five to 125 bananas; and, when
that dies down after fruiting, new
suckers spring up TO take it's place. In
regions where no foot ever reaches,
bananas are found in all stages OF
growth, ripening their fruit every day
and every month in the year.-Scientvic

Westward Hot

In a single day last week over 5000
settlers for Kansas passed through Kan
sas City. There is every prospect for
an immense emigration to all the West
ern States during this spring. The
movers belong to class who will add
to the wealth, and intelligence, and en-
terprise of the West. The man who
opens up farm upon the rich prairies
is a benefactor, and shows prudence
and sound judgment. He makes an in
vestment not only for himself, but for
his children after him. Great cities fill
place in the world, and are q necessity,
but it is fortunate that they can draw
constant supply of material-mental,
moral, and physical-from the farm.
The farm is source of strength and
purity to the city, as well as the foun-
dation of its wealth and prosperity.
Every farm that blossoms out upon the
prairies of the West, every school-house
that is built, every church tower that
arises, is but SO much added to the bet
ter and brighter side of our civilization.
The sound of the woodlands AK, the
ding of the hammer upon the anvil, the
CLEAN of the plow-share bright in the
furrow, all have a meaning of good to
these great centers of commerce. The
denizens of the city, whether in the
cottage or marble front, are deeply in
terestod in the continued prosperity of
the farming interest so rapidly devel-
oping. 1t means permanently to bust
ness, and stability to all material utter
ests, and is to be rejoiced over as a
source of moral force from which the
cities and the nation can draw supplies
for every emergency Chicago Inte'

The Rights Of Passengers in Sleeping
Cars.

In Massachusetts, case, decided last
summer, San Francisco passenger
over the Lake Shore road bought a
sleeping car ticket at Cleveland for a
berth in the car China. At Toledo he
left the car for dinner, but first asked
an employee in the car if he should leave
bis baggage, and would it be safe. The
employe answered yes. But, when the
traveller returned, the China had been
switched off and the hand-baggage of
the passengers carried into another car
which had been substituted for it. In
this transfer the passengers valise was
lost he could never get any account of
it; and he sued, not the Wagner Car
Company who owned the China, but
the Lake Shore Company. They were
for referring him to the owners of the
China, but the court decided against
the defense. The travellers contract
for transportation being with the Lake
Shore Company, the fact that they had
private arrangements with another cor
poration as to the terms for drawing a
particular car, In which the traveller was
not interested or concerned, made no
difference in his right to sue them for
negligent loss of his baggage. In a
very recent case in Ohio the same ques
ton arose as to personal injury. The
traveller in sleeping-car had his head
bruised 10y the porter letting the upper
berth fall upon it rs he was arranging
the car for the night. The blow affect
ed the spine, and partial paralysis re-
suited. The injured person sued the
carrying company, which sought to
throw the responsibility on the sleep
ing-car owners. And this case seems
stronger than the other, for the negli-
gence was in the manipulation of the
berths, and had no direct relation to the
transportation which the railroad COM
pany had undertaken. But the court
held that the case could not be shifted
upon the other corporation. The rail
road company was responsible to trav-
elers for it's whole train, for all cars
alike.-Neto York Tribune.

A Wonderful Clock.

The Ohio State Journal describes q
clock which has just been finished in
Columbus, as the result of eight years
toll. 1t is five feet wide and ten high,
and has three times more dial indica-
tions and more moving embellishments
than any clock on earth" The two
sides represent the two great periods
in American history, the War of the
Revolution and the War of the Rebel
lion. Independence Hall is shown, with
its cracked bell in the old belfry, and
an old man to ring it. The hours are
struck by the Goddess of Liberty, and
Justice balancing her scales. There is
also a reproduction of all the figures
shown in the famous Strasburg clock.
Historic scenes are enacted on stage.
At the first quarter hour locomotive
appears, as the emblem of our progress
in industry. At the second, the bell is
tolled in Independence Hall, and Wash
ington walks maj estically across the
scene. At the third, the apostles bow
to the figure of Christ, Peter denies his
Lord, and the cock crows. A skeleton.
hastens along, bearing green scarf on
his shoulders with the words slime
hies,' and an infant energies from an
opening door with rattle-box in it's
hand. Just before the full hour arrives
a photograph makes music to herald its
coming. :, At midday emancipation is
acted. Lincoln, proclamation in hand,
moves toward slave bound to an auc-
ton block, while the slave turns to look
at his deliverer. his shackles fall end his
hands are raised as in a prayer of thanks
giving.

OLeary is like the elder Weller; he
has ~done it once too often, sammy
But the defeated pedestrian has plenty
of company in this business. The world
is full of persons who have done it once
too often. In all departments OF life
the wrecks of those who have gone
down on the last trip are strewn along
the shore. Men ere never satisfied with
their achievements. They want to rise
a round higher, and at last they take
the one step too many that brings dis
aster. Sometimes it is in q physical,
sometimes in a moral, sometimes in q
mental way. The human organism will
bear great strains; but each excessive
effort weakens the foundation, and at
last there is total collapse, as in the
case of OLeary.
We speak of the folly and wickedness
of such trifing with natural laws as the
athlete exhibits, but the same excess
can be found in any of the professions.
LAWYERS, doctors, ministers, editors,
politicians, stretch the mental powers
to their utmost tension, and are sur
prised when their brain finally fails to
respond, and they are left helpless with
the fight not half ended. Merchants,
in their busy striving, tax their energies
as unfairly as OLeary taxed his legs,
and some fine morning they find them
selves unable to master the perplexing
problem, and fall back to make room
for others. They have done it once too
often.
As matter of fact, how much worse
was it for OLeary to ruin his health
and undermine his constitution by COM
polling his legs to earn his fortune than
it is for the commercial Spectator to
SKATER his brains in similar pursuit
OLeary's legs are used up, but his head
is unframed The spectators head is
gone, though his legs may be unim
paired. The truth is, and the fact has
been stated often enough, though no.
body pays any attention to it, that we
live too fast; We strive too much; we
take too many steps both for our mental
and physical good. But another point
that is quito clear is that in the race for |
riches, office, fame, or what not, the !
competition is so great that incessant
trial seems necessary to success. Per
haps reform will como with an older
civilization, and that after while men
will be content to reach the top round
late in life, instead Of mounting it at
middle age with broken health and the !
cup of ambition drained.-If1teT Ocean, !
