The proportions of the human figure
are six times the length of the feet.
Whether the form is slender or plump,
the rule holds good; any deviation from
it is departure from the highest beauty
in proportion. The Greeks made all
their statues according to this rule. The
face, from the highest point of the fore.
head, where the hair begins, to the chin,
is one-tenth of the whole stature. The
hand, from the wrist to the middle finger
is the same. From the top of the chest
to the highest point of the forehead, is ,
seventh. If the face, from the roots O.
the hair to the chin, be divided into thre,
equal parts. The first determines tn,
place where the eyebrows meet, and tn,
second the place of the nostrils. Th,
hight, from the feet to the top of tn,
head, is the distance from the extremit,
of the fingers when the arms are e,
tended.

IN LAKE ST. CLAIR.

In the Fall of 1867 Mr.. Wade invited
me to join him in visit to Detroit. l
met him by appointment at Cleveland,
Ohio, and found him with Mrs. Wade,
Gen. Wade, several ladies, Gen. Bur-
bridge, of Kentucky, Gen. Alfred Pleas
anton, of the regular army, and Gov.
Edward McCook, of Colorado. Eber B.
Ward, of Detroit, had sent fine steamer
to convey Mr.. Wade and his party to
Detroit and thence up the st. Clair flats.
The ladies remained at Senator Chandler's
while the gentlemen of our party went
out on the flats to fish. One day Gen.
McCook shot wild goose on the Canada
shore, and Gen. Pleasanton at once drew
up an indictment against him for trespass
and damage of the Queens dominions.
Mr.. Chandler prosecuted the case and
Mr.. Wade defended McCook.
The trial was long one, and great
forensic ability was displayed by the
two able advocates. Judge Baker pre-
sided, and Wade was twice fined and
arrested for abusing the court. He de-
nounced the spectators as being inter-
lopers, in league with the Queen against
his client, and demanded they should be
put out and not allowed within ten feet
of the court room. AS we were on 8.
little yacht, and this would have put us
into water twenty feet deep, it was
somewhat important the judge should not
yield to Mr.. Wades demand A mob of
three persons was at once organized and
rush made for Mr. Wade with the
evident intention of giving him duck
ing. The court called on the sheriff to
read the riot act and disperse the mob;
then followed charge of cavalry
mounted on broomsticks, and lawyers,
Judge, jury and prisoners were trampled
under foot in that terrific charge. This
charge was led by q famous cavalry gen
eral whom ] had seen on the famous
battlefield of Beverly Ford leading 10,
900 cavalrymen to bloody battle.
Wade contended that McCook's goose
had been gamboling when shot, and pro
duced witnesses to prove it. He thel
argued that as the Queen Of England wa
a highly moral woman she could not ap
prove of immoral conduct in her goose
therefore his client ought to be acquitted
After an elaborate charge from Judg
Baxter the jury were sent below, wher
they remained so long making up thei
verdict that the judge and lawyers 60

the wine, and the judge ordered tn
sheriff to bring them up. They returne

A lecturer in Cleveland said lately:
"The conditions of success are three
first, work; second, concentration;
and third, fitness. Labor is the
genius which changes the ugliness of the
world to beauty; that turns the greatest
curse into blessing. The young man who
has learned to work has solved the great
est of the problems that tend to success.
Many limbs of the law wait for some
chance to distinguish themselves; but the
chances never come. To succeed, the
young man must make the chances"

"a Sort of Nj ildew.' ,

DR.. Alonzo Garcelon is the present Cover
nor of Maine by virtne Of having been third
on the list of candidates voted for at the cleo
ton in 1878, and having been selected by
Republican State Senate as a choice of evils
between himself and Mr.. Smith, the Green
back candidate. Ono cannot help wondering
what sort of man Smith must be, that Gar
celon should have been preferred to him.
Doubtless Garcelon has developed his capacity
since the choice was made Holding an office
for which only pitiful minority of the voters
of Maine supported him, it is not strange per-
haps that he should hold maiorities In some
thing like contempt. Being Governor in spite
of them, why he reasons, should he not con-
tinue so? Or if not he, some other representa-
tive of beaten minority? And if the people
of Maine have submitted for year to the rule
# a minority Governor why should they not
submit to the counting in of a minority Legis-
lature, the election OF minority State officers
and a minority United States Senator? So
Garcelon and his co-conspirators have counted
out the Republican majority in the Legisla-
ture and made their arrangements to steal the
State. All within the forms of law, OF course,
and upon technicalities which, with rolling
eve. and hands upon their hearts, they SOL
emnly vow they cannot conscientious'y disre-
gard That Republican Legislature was

trample on the Constitution, you know say
they with leer And when their attention
is called to a statute law which meets the case
and empowers them to amend the technical
defects, they answer at once, "Oh, that law is
unconstitutional"
1t is an old habit of these people to use the
letter of the CONSTITUTION to stab the state.
They tried it on larger scale in 1861, when
thew clamored that the Federal Constitution
not only did not contain the principle OF sell
preservation, but that it actually offered
Shield and defence to its assailants. But even
under this claim of constitutional right TO DE,

Convicted Out of It's Own Mouth.
The following extracts speak for them

selves.
We again ask the Argus and its co-parceners this
question: If Republican Council last year had
counted out Fusion majority on the same pretext
that Fusion Council has counted out a Republican
majority this year, would you have approved OF the
act or defended it?-Press.
The Argus would then, and does now, sus-
tain the action of the Governor and Council in
strictly following the constitution and enforcing
its provisions, as every honest man and loyal
journal is in duty bound to do. 1t does not be-
lieve in melting men to deeds of violence or in
advocating revolutionary proceedings against
the lawful authority of the State, nor does 1t
approve or defend mob law. Can the Press
truthfully say as much?-Argus, Dec. 81, 1879.
Republican leaders of Maine seem to be pre-
pairing for a repetition of the returning board
performances Of 1876, which proved 80 success
full for them, in several southern States. Ihey
had better not try it.
We would caution the Democratic and
Greenback Representatives elect to look sharp
ly after the returns from their respective dis
tricts and see that they are correct. The radl-
cal leaders are desperate over their defeat, and,
Notwithstanding the people have voted them
down, they will hesitate at nothing X only
they can retain control of the machinery OF the
State Government. The lessons they learned
from Zach Chandler in the management OF
Returning Boards have been carefully treas
ured up. Last winter they tried the Chandler
plan in the Senate and succeeded in counting
out Senator Madlgan. And if they See posi-
BILE chance to threw out enough Democratic
Greenback Representatives to give them con-
troll of the House next winter, there is nothing
in their past record to encourage belief that
they will not improve it, but rather the con-
trary. Argus, Sept. u; 1878, three days after
