SENATORIAL REQUISITES.
Don Cameron appears weary. as if ti!eu
with it all. A man must have peculiar
organization to thrive in the Senatorial
| atmosphere. 1t is a gladiator ring,
where intellectual combat is in the order
of the day Woe to him that is not en-
dowsd with weapons of the keenest and
most polished kind. Though Senator
can pipe his slogan on a thousand hills AT
home and carries a bonanza mine in each
pocket it will not add feather to his
Senatorial strength. Men endowed with
business talent, even Of the highest order
can find neither congenial nor agreeable
work in the Senate. Only natural ora
tor or debater like Blaine or great law
yer like Edmunds find their native ele-
ment in the stormy waters of the Senate;
and even Blaine was far more at home in
the other wing of the Capitol where his
talents 1T all times shonc as a star Of the
first magnitude. 1t is no sign Of the
lack of ability because 4 Senator does
not rank high, but rather a lack Of peeu-
liar and exceedingly rare qualities which
make Senatorial success secure
PENSsYLvANIA's NEW MAN.
Of the new Senators, Pennsylvania
must be awarded the prize in point OF
beauty, for Senator Mitchell bears away
the palm without 4 dissenting voice. In
the grounds of one of the nabObs AT
Saratoga there may be seen the statute Of
i Roman gladiator, such as lived in the
times of Nero. 1t is "stalwart ~ to the
last degree. Imagine the old statue
Observation-Disclosures is, toned down in
its toughest corners. smoothed away--a
little less muscle, little nerve, daintier,
with dash of Greek symmetry and you
see the handsome Mitchell of Pennsylva-
MIA. His hair is in abundance, his eyes q
twinkling hazel that rise and set with the
arrival and departure of the dry goods
in the gallery, but with modesty that
is simply indescrihable.

FAITH HEALING.

Miss Jennie Smith, of Dayton, Ohio,
related to the congregation of the First
Methodist Church. New Haven, recently,
now her faith had made her whole She
had been suffering for long time from
paralysis of one of her limbs, when in
August, 1877. she was carried upon cot
To Ocean Grove, n. j.. where she remain
ed until the end of October. She waa
accompanied by her sister, who had
never seen her walk. She entered the
Homeopathic Hospital in Philadelphia.
Ter condition at that time she thus de-
-cribed: For twelve years spas:nodic
twi;ching had been developed in my right
limb. taking at times several persons to
mold it down. This increased in severity
Us time went on, until it was found nee
r,sary to strap heavy weight upon it
Tor large part of the time, block of
marble weighing fifty pounds. In the
TALL of 1871 it was found necessary 90 ell
case it in box, the box being fastened
to my cot by bolts, and in December,
1877, was relieved of this by skilful
surgical operations. Several consulta-
tons Of physicians were held, but they
decided that there was no help for her.
Treatment was continued more in defer
ence to her wishes than i'll any expects
ton of its effectin. her recovery. On
the evening of March 10 she was impelled
to, write to five friends asking their unit
ed'prayer for that evening. She had al
ready in answer to her prayer received a
partial restoration. but she believed that
God must he gloritied in complete restor-
ttion, and in the prospect of that meeting
she found unusual strength and assur-
ance. During the days that interviewed
between the calling Of the meeting and
it's occurrence. she was in a waiting atti-
tude, continually working deeper into the
will of God She suffered more and was
weaker than usual all the day. and lay in
an extension chair. AS the friends gath.
cred she told them that the time had
come when they should ask definitely for
Il knowledge of Gods will toward her.
After an hour or more some left the
meeting. but others remained, among
them being her physician, DIR. Morgan
who continued in prayer, occasionally
varied with recitations Of passages of
Scripture and song. About II o'clock
Mrs. Smith was led to offer herself anew
to God. Up to this time there had been
no increase of strength or cessation frota
pain; in fact. she was weaker than ever.
After brief silence there suddenly flash
ed upon her mi3d most vivid view al
the healing of the witheled arm. At the
same instant the Holy Spirit bestowed Oh
her soul the faith to claim a similar blesS-
ing, and she was at once conscious of q
baptism of strength as sensibly and posi-
lively as if an electric shock had passed
through her system. Laying her hands
upon the arms of the chair, she raise:
herself to sitting posture, and then
stood upon her feet. She knclt in /
prayer of thanksgiving, and arose and
walked across the room. The next day
she was upon her feet and has since bee"
able to travel about the country, and has
never had any trouble with the lame
limb nor shown any symptoms of the at
tendant maladies.

SCIENCE FOR THE YOUNG.
THE CAT.

Naturaists throw up the sponge at th-
domestic cat, and you needn't go to them
for information You can learn much
more from the breakfast table talk OF
ordinary mortalS and from the writings
of newspaper editors. Scientists do nor
even know where the cat began. They
trace it back to ancient Egypt, as they
do SO many other tough questions, but
instead of getting down to its primordia!
forms, they find it in a state of luxury
and civilization which could only have
resulted from ages of development. They
find that ION the banks of the Nile" i,
was ahead of man h mself; that he wor-
shipped it. erected gorgeous temples to ii.
and honored it's memory by shaving OIL
his eyebrows when it died. This does
not look much like the feeble and simple
beginnings of cat-life, does it. The opin.
ion of your present instructor is that
this animal originated in the small hours
of that night which just preceded the
dawn of history
You may divide cats (and il is to he
hoped that you wild into two principal
varieties-thc live cat and the dead cat.
The latter is the choicest, but it is very
scarce, and can only be obtained by acct
dent. 1t is never offered in the market
at least. not in any recognizable form.

nal in their habits" and this statemen;

is supposed. they ran into some port in

then they must all have persisted, unless
bound by some terrible oath, eXacted of
them by Rndulph, never to reveal his his
tory. II Ney was Rudolph. it is very
certain that he took extraordinary pains
to conceal his American origin. Although
it was known he could speak English flu
entity he never would speak it in the
presence of an American or an English
man. Whatever the legend was based
upon in Georgia and the South, it is be-
lieved that the first intimation came to
the Rudulphs of Elkton indirectly from
General Lallemand. Sometime in the
wear 1918 or 1919, Lallemand was pass
ing from Baltimore to Philadelphia. On
the steamboat he met the late General
Foreman. of SaSSairas Neck. As the
boat approached Frenrhtown, they were
spea king of the land they were nearing.
when Foreman mentioned Elkton as the
county town. "Elkt IN. Elkton.' said
Lalemand, - is there il family there by
the name of Rudulph"' There is,
said Foreman, land know them we'll"
Lalenand then informed Gen. Foreman.
that after the execution of Ney there was

tives residing at Elktur. Maryland. but
that these papers were, Immediately after
their discovery. all destroyed. General
Foreman afterwards communicated this
Intelligence to General Sewall, who al
ways gave much crcdence to the truth of
the legend. One other fact is worthy of
mention: 1t is known that two of Ney' S
sons. by his French wife. after their faith

Ice Water.

Ex-Governor William Bross, of Chi
cago, has delivered the following dis
course on ice water: 81 beg to say to
all my feHow-citizens that general re-
form in drinking ice water would, in my
judgment, confer benefit upon the
public. The constant and immoderate
use of ice water has become one Of the
most active causes of disease all over the
United States. There can be no doubt
that it produces our National disease,
dyspepsia, in its most aggravated forms,
and you can scarcely look over the death
list in orr papers that you will not see a
notice of some one dying of diabetis,
Bright's disease, or some other kidney
complaint. In most cases, you NAV rely
upon it, ice water is the remote, if not
the active, cause of all this trouble. III
one should express the opinion that ice
water is now the source of more disease
among our leading business aud public
men than whisky, wide induction of
facts would doubtless show him not so
far from right. Sad experience as well
as extensive observation and inquiry
have convinced me of the truth of this
assertion. Ice water came nearer cost
ing me my own life than any other cause
within my memory"

more permanent improvement of the
roads by grading and turnpiking.
The new Drain law makes radical
changes. Both the county and town
ship systems are retained. but under q
single act, which in length is less than
the old county Drain law, so that about
one-half the space now occupied in the
statutes by the Drain laws is saved The
old method of condemning right of way
by jury of twelve men is superseded
by three special Commissioners to be ap-
pointed by the Probate Court. The
new law, instead of dividing the drain
and apportioning it to be done as q VOL
untary work by parties benefited, as by
the old law, provides for as
sessing benefits as basis for ap-
pOrtioning the cost OF cOnstruc-
ton and maintenance. The work is
required to be let ON money basis by
contract, in sections, but parties who
are to be taxed for the cost of construc-
ton, who may be equal bidders with
others on the contracts, are given the
preference. The cost of construction is
to be assessed and levied upon town.
ships in which lands to be drained are
situated, so far as the drainage may
contribute to the public health, and the
balance liz to be assessed upon the lands
benefited according to the degree of
benefit. The processes are greatly sim
plified and the details of the law made
much more PLAIN than in the old super
seeded laws
