of all such influences, and inspir.
ed only by sense of sympathy

quietly away from home and
friends and safety, to break IA
lance with the King of Terrors
upon the field of death?
Mr.. President, surely this dire
,calamitg, and this unsurpassed
philanthropy, were designed to
teach us something more than
gratitude. Surely the great CEN
trial truth contained in the history
of the epidemic of 1878 is, that,
not in name only, but in deed and
in truth, the people OF these United
States are and should be bretber-
EN-. Here, in these Legislative halls,
where we have just laid the cor
ner-stone of q new temple of the
State government, let us resolve
that we will cherish and preserve
that truth forever. Let us tesch
it TO our children, and In all time
to come may it prove bond OF
union and of sympathy between
all of the States of our Republic.
The adoption of the resolution
before the Senate will be Yecog-
milton of "a simple duty, but it will
pot serve rs constant reminder
of the suffering through which we
have SO recently passed, nor of the
noble philanthropy of those who
came SO promptly and SO gener-
ously to our relief. Within few
months the statutes and the 1850
iutions of tiYis General Assembly
will be found only in law Abraries,
and In the various offices OF the
State and rpurochial governments.
True, the memory OF that munit-
cent charity which the resolution
acknowledges will live forever in
the minds al the American people,
yet, like many other things which
men rsmember euty when they
are specially reminded of them,
there is danger that this imposing
exhibition of phihsnthrophy may
be temporarily foFgotten. May /

usually very busy in business hours. If
you have a suggestion to make or news

words possible. Don't offer any excuses
or indulge in a long preface to what you
have to say. Burt it right out tell the
editor you wish him well, and bid him
good day. Editors dote on such men as
that. They love to have calls from them.
Don't argue with him. Don't try to do

down. Pitch right into the middle OF
your subject, and be sure to stop writing
when you are through. Editors like
something fresh and original in the way
OF communications. and they are es-
pecia!ly fond of news. But the editor
must be the judge of what is worthy Of
publication. OF course every writer
thinks his W production the best. Just
as every mother thinks her baby the
prettlest that ever was born. But the
editor may be SO stupid as to have a dill

There is no class of men so anxious to

OF the good opinion OF others. 1t is well

TOO HOT FOB HIM.

During the confederate war, one
jim was attached 10 Rosser's cavalry,
in Stewards command. Jim was
noted for his strong antipathy to sho,
aud shell, and a peculiar way he had
of avoiding too close communion
with the same; but at last all his
plans failed to keep him out of the
row." and he, with his companions,
under a lieutenant, was detailed to
support a battery that composed a
portion of'the rearguard. The enemy
kept passing SO close, i'll fact, as 10
eudanger the r%etreating forces, and
the troops covering the retreat had
orders to keep the enemy in check
for a given period at all hazards. Jim
grew desperate under the CALLING
fire. He placed himself in every posi-
ton that his genius could invent,
but the ''hiss" of fhe bullet haunted
him still. At last, i'll despair, he
called to the commanding officer /:
"Lieutenant, let's fall back I" 81 can

"Well, I'll be drafted if we dou't get

Spend your money at home. 1t will

A German naturalist, Herr Wlttmach.
has recently been making experiments
with the tropical fruit, the papaw, the
juice OF which is found to possess the
property when boiled with tough meat
OF rendering it tender. II the unripe
fruit be placed in the water in which the
toughest meat is to be cooked, it is found
to ettectually soften it and render it per-
fectly digestible; and the same results
are observed if the meat be merely
washed with the juice OF the fruit. The
thick, white. milky juice, when extract
ed from the unripe papaw, In fact, con-
tains properties similar to those of pep
sine. Hard boiled white of egg, to
which a few drops of dilute juice have
been added, has been found, after wenty-
four hours, to be perfectly soft and easily
broken up, having undergone. in fact.
the same process as food dlgested in the
natural way. II taken in too large
doses. the substance is dangerous,
having the effect of permeating and
actually destroying the thin mucous
membrane of the stomach and intestines.
The papaw fruit when fully ripe is about
seven Or eight inches long. of a brigh,
yellow color, somewhat resembling a
citron or lemon, of the flavor of which
it partakes in a small degree; an un
pleasant taste of petroleum, or, as de.
scribed by some persons, of India rub.
Der or t%urpentine, however, pervades
the fruit.
