Familiar Quotations.

Grave Judges and others learned in
the law have contributed their quota,
as in duty bound, to the common stock
of popular sayings. 1t is Francis Bacon
who speaks of matters that ''come
home to mems business and BOSOM"
who lays down the axiom that ''Knowl-
edge is power" and who utters that
solemn warning to enamored Benedicts:
''He that hath wife and children hath
given hostages to fortune" We have
the high authority of the renowned Sir
Edward Coke for declaring that s.Cor-
porations have no souls'' and that "a
mans house is his castle.'' The ex-
preston, "An accident of an accident"
is borrowed from Lord Thurlow. 1.-The
greatest happiness of the greatest num-
ber,' occurs in Bentham, but as an &C
knowledged translation from the
learned jurist Baccaria. To Leviathan
Hobbies we owe the sage maxim.
''Words are wise mems counters, but
the money of fools" It is John Selden
who suggests that by throwing straw
into the air you may see the way of the
wind; and to his contemporary Oxen
stern is due the discovery: with how
little wisdom the world is governed"
Macintosh first used the phrase, "a
wise and mastery inactivity" The
schoolmaster is abroad" is from a
speech by Lord Brougham. Itdoes not
mean that the teacher is "abroad" in
the sense of being absent, as many
seem to interpret the phrase, but that
he is ''abroad" in the sense of being
everywhere at work. In the familiar
phrase. "a delusion, mockery and a
snare" there is q certain Biblical ring,
which has sometimes led to its being
quoted as from one or other of the He
brew prophets; the words are, in fact,
an extract from the judgment of Lord
Denman at the trial OF OConnelL-

rained. of course, as it always does at
an English party, and we adjourned to
the conservatory for the entertain
ment. l must tell you that the sand

and spiced tomatoes, and were deli
cious. The Baroness was clad in brown
satin. with q profusion of white lace,
and wore fewer jewels than some
American women wear to breakfast.

like her. As for her husband, he is, as
the Boston girls say. too awfully nice
for anything 1 do not wonder that
the Baroness fell in love with him and
married him, and that she is very
proud of him. She looks radiantlv

back his head and laughed.

II know-'twas kinder mean, but I
never thought the lad would want to
use it. Now don't you feel bad. Let
the young man have the benefit of his
experience. It'll do him good. No
body'il harm him. and he's not goin'
to starve on the road. Let him travel.
Won't he be glad to git back agin-
that's all?''
Two days passed. Johnny's mother
cried herself almost blind, but JOhnny's
father and the baby behaved like stoics.
The baby contemplatedit its toes. when it
was not crying, with an air of compla-
cency. Johnny sfather-nobody knew
what he felt inwardly. but outwardly
he was as calm as a summer lake, and
never went further than the end of his
own acres to see if the boy was coming
back.
Hell stop at his Aunt Sady's." he
said to his wife, land she'll send him
home"
He was right. The third day
soiled and bedraggled specimen of boy
fOrlornness came limping along the
path that led to the farmhouse. His
mother saw him first, and. throwing the
baby in granny's lap, just few down
the road.
There wasn't much said, but a good
deal of hugging and kissing was
going on when Johnny s father appeared
on the scene.
"Well, sir, what you want to COM
plete the cure is a good tlogging." he
said in his sternest voice, but his lips
trembled, and there was something
suspiciously like tear standing in his
eyes.
"Come here. you young rascalr' he
called; and while the mother silently
dried her eyes with the corner of her
apron. he took the boy up and squeezed
him q little.
Poor Johnny's head fell on his faith
er's shoulder. and before they got to
the house he was fast asleep.
When he awoke on the following
morning in his own bed, never had he
listened to sweeter music than the old
familiar crow. It wasn't the least
trouble to do all his chores. Tho baby
behaved like an angel, and granny was
all smiles. Little Bessy came to see
him, nobody tainted him about his
and he came to the con-
clusion that home was about as good a

Reports of trouble in the armies Of
Germany and Austria. caused by the
cruelty of the subordinate officers to-
ward the private soldiery, continue to
be heard, Notwithstanding the efforts
made by the higher military officials to
put an end to the barbarities. On the
18th of July a corporal was shot in
Vienna by private who entered the
servioe some months ago, having pre-.
viously been tailOr's apprentice. This
man had been ordered by the corporal
to report to him in full-dress uniform
during the evening. Instead of doing
SO be put bullet into him. He said,
on being arrested, that he had been ILL.,
used by the man he had slain, and that
he had made up his mind to kill four of
his officers and then to shoot himself.
Many momentous battle has been
fought in the worlds history where the
casualties were no greater than are the
calamities in the streets of London ev-
cry year. During 1880. 137 persons
were killed in that metropolis by vehi-
cles and 1889 other persons were
MANNED or otherwise injured. This is
one casualty per thousand inhabitants,
or very nearly the same rate as the av-
erage of casualties on the battlefield
during a prOtracted war bear to the en-
tire nation. Surprising, therefore, that
the London figures on this point are a
fair index to what takes place in other
large cities, the street accidents of q
quarter of century considerably ex-
coed in number the losses in battle dur
ing the same period.

that after all is not very strange.

this matter, and give it credit for
all the patriotic intentions We
claim for ourselves. The Item
however has just as far failed 0.
showing Us the necessity of this
Board Of Equalization, as we have
in showing it the worthlessnes:
and bad policy Of such a machine.
The advocates of the machine
say that a large part Of the prop

and so says the lem. This sim
ply means, If it has meaning. tina
the property is not put upon TIL

We do not doubt the truth o
