julius Casar's View of Death.

Throughout his career, Caesar
displayed singular Indifference to
life. lie had not much belief in
God or the gods. On all such ques-
tions he observed from first to last
a profound silence. But one con-
viction he had. He intended, if he
was to live at all, to live master of
himself in matters which belonged
to himself. Sylla might kill him
if bo SO pleased. 1t was better to
die than to put away a wife who
was the mother Of his child, and to
marry some other woman At die
tator's bidding. Llle on such terms
was not worth keeping. What a
Joy it is to read OF one man in the
worlds history who never played
the fool or the hypocrite. On one
occasion the majority of the senate
---of which Caesar was then q young
membcr-wished to consign q num-
ber OF political prisoners TO capital
punishment. Cesar opposed it.
He contended that death was no
punishment at all. Death was the
end OF human sorrow. In the grave
there was neither joy or sorrow.
When a man was dead he ceased to
be. He became as he was before
he was born. Probably almost ev-
cry one in the senate thought like
Caesar on this subject. Cicero GER.
talnly did. Caesar spoke his con-
viction OUT. A. Froude.

All, you little pesky, pretty rogue
How dare you steal his heart away
by your bewitching smiles, your
graceful curls ana softer blandlsh
ments. You must not practice de.
ception. You must not make others
believe that your health is good,
while inwardly suffering tortures.
You know your heart palpitates af-
ter running up fight OF steps or
climbing hill or taking any active
exercise. Your cheeks are gradu
ally losing their bloom. Your head
aches. You have lost your appe.
tite. You have cold feet and hands,
swimming of the head. You arc
becoming nervous, cross and fret.
full. You occasionally have a hys-
'erical spell. Don't enamor, don't
entice young men until you can
claim your health, as you are now
unfit for wife. Send at once for
a bottle of Englist Female Bitters,
it will restore you to perfect health.

BURGLARY.
Skillful Thieves Enter a Store,
Blow a Safe 0pen and In

Some $3.50.

Last Sunday night, Mr.. John L.
Edrington, who was asleep in Il
bedroom over his store, was awali-
cned by a loud explosion below in
the store.room. lie at once reallz-
ed the situation, but being unarmed
(there was not weapon in the
house), he had to confine his part
of the programme to raising win
dow sash and giving the olarm by
halloing; but before any one could
be aroused, the burglars secured
the contents of the safe, some $3.50,
and in the darkness, made their es-
cape. Mr.. John b. Driver, looses
$3.50, which he had placed in the
hands of Mr.. Edrington for safe
keeping; MIR. T. A. Blackwood $40,
and the proprietor, Mr.. j. l.. Ed
rington, about 500, making Alto
gether $3.50. A package of 5000
which, in the explosion, was blown
out on the floor, escaped the rob-
bers' notice, was secured next morn.
ing, and handed back to its owner,
Mr.. T. A. Blackwood.
Evidently the parties who did
this piece Of robbery understood
the business-a back door, with
rather insecure fasienlngs, was
pryed open with jimmy. A hole
was drilled into the safe from the
top, powder poured INTO it, and
fuse did the rest. In their haste to
escape, few articles were forgot
ten, and left, which may eventual
ly lead to the capture Of the guilty
parties.

New York, Oct. 19.-The Times says:
While conceding the entire respectable
ity Of Grace, we think there will be a
natural desire on the part Of rejecting
men Of both parties, to have his posi-
tion defined on certain public questions,
that the church TO which he owes ale
glance has dealt with 1t in a way which
does no. meet the approval of the ma
jority Of his fellow citizens-public
school questions among Others. The
opportunity presented the republicans
of nominating the next mayor of New
York is exceptionally good. The nom-
ination Of democrat Of acknowledged
character and ability would undoubted-
ly secure the German democratic vote
and would be equivalent to anelection.
Grace's nomination will, 1t is thought,
lend vigor to the movement OF the indie
pendent non partisan business men for
the nomination Of an independent non
sectarian candidate.
