DR.. TANNERS wonderful fast of
forty days is the theme of all circles
of New York yesterday, and the Doc
tors seemed to be even more astonish-
ed than the public generally. The
Doctor ate all night on Saturday and
all day yesterday at intervals of an
hour until noon, when he COM
planned that his jaws were sore.
In the "a hours since his fast he had
gained five pounds in weight. The
Doctor is lively in his conversation
and says he will be out walking the
streets in few days. He is visited
by large numbers of physicians, and
is quite lion with the profession.

THE DEFENCE OF THE LATE OAKEs
AMEs.-We have received polite
note dated Boston, August 8, 1880,
signed by Messrs. Oakes Ames, Oliver
Ames, and Frank M. Ames, sons of the
late Oakes Ames, requesting us to
publish in full'' statement defend
ing their father who they say has been
"wrongfully assailed."
The statement alluded to is long, and
appeared in all the large city papers
on Sunday. 1t is to the credit of the
gentlemen that they have undertaken
the defense of their father from the
charges made against him by the mem
bers of the Republican press and par
ty. But our limited space at present
does not permit of our giving this
statement in full, nor do we feel called
upon to do so in justice to Mr.. Ames
since the GAZETTE has made no at
tack upon him. We have only publish
ed articles taken from the New York
Tribune and Times, and the comments
of journals upon the trial growing out
of the bribe-taking of Garfield in the
Credit Mobilier stock dividends and
the De Golyer pavement bribe. In the
former of which Garfield is said to
have received about $2500; and in the
latter $50
The defense of Oakes Ames comes
very late; but nevertheless it is very
natural that these young men should
feel agrieved over the charges made
by the N. Y. Tribune and N. Y. Times
in 1878; yet we cannot, at this time ,es-
cape the presumption that it is as
much to assist Garfield to the Presi-
dency and the Republican party to
continue hold to its power and the
men in office for twenty years Longer
as it is to defend the name of the lat,
0akes Ames.
1t is very we'll for the Radical pa
pers to publish this statement and as
sist to clear Ames; but in doing S,
they do not clear the guilt from Gar
field. Because the former swore HI
paid Garfield $329 as a dividend an,
the latter said it was loan. Blu
here arises the curious fact that Oake
Ames should have loaned that precis
sum of $500 to so many persons.
There is no escape as we can dis
cover for Garfield. He is certainl
guilty Of bribe-taking and false swear
ing as the clear facts presented prov
him to be. And such a man is not
ht character TO fill the great office 70
which he was accidentally nominated

Rats.


Rats are great pest in every city and
town, and, indeed, everywhere in this
country. It seems nearly impossible to
get rid of them, and any method that
promises to secure this most desirable
end is worth trying. Somebody recon-
mends covering stones, rsfters and every
part of cellar with ordinary whitewash
made yellow with copperas, putting cop
perss in every crevice or Granny where a
rat may get, and scattering 1t in corners
on the floor. He has tried it repeatedly,
and the result has been general retreat
of both mice and rats, not one Of which
had at last accounts returned. It is said
that coat of this yellow wash, given
each spring to cellar, will not only ban
ish those vermin, but will prevent fever,
dysenterv or typhoid. Everything eata-
BILE should be carefully secured against
the ravages Of rats, which are SO intelh-
gent that they will soon abandon prem
ises where they get next to nothing to
eat. The rat we are most troubled with
is the brown rat, much larger, stronger,
fiercer and more ravenous than the black
rat, which has almost entirely disap-
peared, having been driven of or exter-
minated by the more formidable species.
The brown rat is frequently called the
Norway rat, from the erroneous impress
sion that it came from Norway, which
country it did not reach until it had be-
come abundant in Britain and America.
1t appeared first at Astrakhan IN the be-
ginning of the eighteenth century, and
gradually spread over Western Europe,
whence we have derived it. 1t was once
known rs the Hanoverian rat, because
the Britifh Jsbobites were pleased to be-
lleve that it came in with the house OF
Hanover.

The Power of Enjoyment i.

Comparatively few people possess uni.
formily cheerful dispositions. Most of
us have eur sad hours and moods. But,
whatever his disposition, man is bound
by the laws of bis own being, and by
those of his social relations, TO cultivate
the virtue of cheerfulness assiduously and
constantly. He has no more right to in
jure his neighbours happiness than to in
terfere with his pecunlary property, and
he cannot indulge in venting lll-humor
or spleen. gloomy forebodings or com
plants, or even carrying sad ,sour, frown
ing vissge, without sensibly diminish
ing the enjoyment Of others, and thus
infringing on their rights. Any indi-
vidual who has tried to do 60 can win
himself from despondency and surliness.
The power of enjoyment is in itself fac
ulty capable of improvement, and as
practice always enhances power, it is a
good thing to form the habit Of enjoy
ment. 1t is not true that the sources of
pleasure are few and rare, but it is sadly
true that we pass them by unnoticed.
We crave the excitement of business or
politics, or fashionable life, and forget the
world of innocent enjoyment that we
trample under foot. Nature and art offs
fer their treasures in vain, the lovelinese
of childhood. the attractions of home, tn
real satisfaction of honest labor, the Sind
pie pleasures of little things all plead
for utterance, but we repulse them. How

Nayies of the World.

There IS often an uneasy suspicion
abroad that the sums which we are called
upon to pay for our national defenses,
and which every one admits to be of
formidable amount, are not very wisely
expended. Fears are from time to time
expressed that we get exceedingly little
for our money, and that we might largely
diminish our expenditure without caus-
ing cur forces to fall below the standard
OF deficiency which is thong hit quite high
enough by other Great Powers. The best
way of seeing what return we can get for
our money, and if it be reasonably suffi-
cient, is to compare the duties which our
forces are expected to perform and the
expense attending them with the same
in case of foreign powers. The naval ex-
penditures of the chief maritime States
is as llews:-Epgland, e1O,5s6, 1898;
France, e7,252, S39; United States, g.
100000; Russia, G3.550, 1868; Germany,
e5,2s6 $50; Italy, e1,772,975; Austria.
e845,264. The English expenditure is
about one-third higher than that IF
France, and more than double that of
any power. But the object supposed to
be insured by 1t differs considerably in
the several countries. If chief object
of keeping up naval protection Of the
maritime commerce, we should find that

Dress Mad.

Behold her at eleven. Her limbs an
fettered by the long skirts of convention
atty, she runs, she romps, she slides on
the ice pounds. she rolls hoop, she Climbs
fences, she leaps, she kicks, she runs
races and Is as fleet of foot as the boys.
Her appetite is good, her cheeks rosy, and
her movement unconsclously graceful,
but all this ceases.
Behold her again at twenty! No more
does she run or jump, or roll hoop, or
race or slide on ice. 1t is not proper now
nor lady-like, and she couldn't if she
would, for she is fettered by'long skirts,
tight shoes, tighter stays. Her move
meut has no longeIsthe freedom and uucon-
scious grace OF childhood, for now when
she walks abroad she walks to be looked
at, which now IN her estimation is the
main object in walking. She is already
in delicate health, and has doctor who
prescriDes expensive advice and medicine
for her, and ascrlbes complaints to any,
thing and everything but the real cause.
This is simply the lettering the body with
fashionable clothes. Physically she is now
prisoner At eleven she was free.
The doctor advises travel, but he does
not advise her to take of and keep off
her fashionable letters. She would not
do 80 if he did, and he wouldn't advise
her if he knew it would bring relief, for
she would no longer believe In a doctor
who would make her dress like q guy,
and being dressed like guy is dressed
differently from the style prescribed by a
Paris modlste. Diana never could hunt
In trailing skirt, narrow, tight, high
heeled shoes and q punched, corscted
waist, but Diana with o belted tunlc and
unfettered limbs would be bounced of
Broadway by the nearest policeman.
Dressing for health and freedom of limb
and body is one thing, and dressing for
fashion quite another. A man could not
endure the pinching and encumbrances
peculiar to feminine attire for an hour, q
pretty spectacle he'd make rushing about
in such during business hours. Yet the
weaker sex wear double the encumbran.
ces of the 80 called stronger. To dress
at all after the style uses up half a wo.

Oriental Women.

AS time progresses, the condition Of
the women Of the Orient rapidly inn
proves. Japan has taken the lead in
this respect, and to-day Japanese women
occupy position and exert an influence
that few OF them would have dared dream
of quarter of century ago. China Is
being taught the lesson, though more
slowly than Japan, and woman are enter
ing to limited extent into the world of
business and politics. Merchants of Can
ton, who would have secluded their wives
with the utmost care q decade or two
ago, now permit them to be seen, and,
what is more, they allow them to con-
verse with other men. They travel with
them on the steamers that navigate the
Chinese rivers and the waters along the
coast, and it is said that some Of them
have gone so far as to allow their wives
to sit with them at the public tables.
Similar progress is observable among the
Siamese and other eastern nations. The
world still moves.
