THE wISTARIA
o blossoms caught from amethystine seas!
Swaying so lightly in the summer breeze,
SO royalty on thy yfar,reaching stem
We scarce can touch thy garments purple
hem.
Bend down: From out the largcss OF thy
Yield one bright clustcr-onc-and yet one
more.
Such lavish mood hath Nature smiled on
thee,
Our arms were piled and yet no lack we
see.
Mr.. HENRy!WINKLEY, of Philadelphia,
has sent his check for $25, 900 to Andover
seminary, the income to be used as the
trustees may think best for the benefit of
the seminary. The same gentleman has
also made gift of s25, 900 to Yale semi
nary. In the latter case the check was at
first almost feared to be poor joke, but
when it proved to be good for S25, 600 cash
the doubt was suddenly transmitted into
rejoicing and delight.
THE supreme court of Indiana has de-
cided that selling cigars at hotel stand on
Sunday is a "work of necessity" and
hence that the seller cannot be indicted |
under the statute The court said that |
smoking a cigar is as much a necessity to
those who have acquired the habit as
tea or coffee is that there is as
much necessity for continuing this habit
on Sunday as on any day of the week, and
that whatever is necessary or proper to do
on Sunday to supply this constant daily
need is work of necessity within the
meaning of the law. 1t is not unlawful,
the court holds, to keep hotel on Sunday
in the same way that it is usually kept on
a week day, and if hotel keeps cigar
stand, which is part Of its establishment,
and from which it sells cigars to its guests
and customers on week day, it is not UNI
awful to sell cigars from the same stand
in the same way on Sunday.

reinsurance about Mr.. Tildcn
IS He is ready to give place to, and will
literally and heartily support,
the party may select as its
lis wishes and withdrawn himself from
position which is most irksome to him solely
because he has not been able to see that
lis retirement would contribute anything !
% the development of what is best to be !
lone, or to the operation ofharmonious in |
luences within the party he loves SO we'll f
md has served so long. The party must |!
tx his relation to it. 1t must not consider
lis person at all-that is nothing-and he
harges his friends everywhere to abstain
rom everything which may be construed
nto dictation. He would have no delega- =
ion to Cincinnati instructed to vote for
i'm. Delegates should be left free to de- S
ide how they shall vote after they get u
here; and, whatever the result may be,
e shall be content, conscious of having t
rom first to last, done his whole duty by n
is country and his party.''
