Shaking 1t Up

Wolfe continues to make things
lively in Pennsylvania. People are
getting awake to the Importance of
his canvass, and those who said at
first that the movement would be
"either farce or a whirlwind," now
await the whirlwind.
The trouble is that the bosses have
absolutely no point to make against
Wolfe. His record is as straight as
theirs is crooked and foul. He shows
how the robbery of the commonwealth
has been going on in the same way
for years, and how the pet banks and
the Ring spectators have pockected
untold profits from the use of the
funds in the Treasury. They have
no retort to make The account be-
tween Wolfe and the Common wealth
presents large balance on the other
side He has saved almost as much
cash as they have stolen. In the Riot
bill case alone he prevented their car
rying off by fraud and bribery the
round sum of $4,000,000 in a lump.
What other citizen of Pennsylvania
can say he has ever been worth 81,
100000 to his State in single SEES
sion of the Legislature?
The people naturally enough listen
to this man with some attention, and
it is safe to say the Ring never had
such a shaking up. Decent men
everywhere wish the bold reformer
good luck, since no one, Democrat or
Republican, can doubt that the over
throw of the third term Ring bosses
in Pennsylvania would be a national
gain.-N. Y. Sun.

"A Gra md Military Display--Re.

YORKTOWN, October 90 The mil

out. All the organizations presented
fine appearance, and marched we'll.
The route WAS about four miles over
the broad fields. One hour and TWEEN
ty minutes were consumed in pass

eession reached the grand stand Gen
eral Hancock and staff rode at the
head, but then fell out of the line
and with President Arthur, his cabi-
net, the foreign guests and other dig

stand. General Hancock stated to
the President that there were nine
thousand five hundred men in line.
The States represented by volunteers
were Georgia, New Jersey, Delaware,
Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Mary
land, South Corolina, New Hamp-
shire. Virginia, New York, North

Kentucky, Michigan and Connect

thuslastlc over the magnlilcence OF
the display. The only colored troops
in line were two companies from
Richmond composing part of the
First Virginia regiment. They were
loudly cheered by the spectators. In
the afternoon General Hancock gave
a reception on board the steamer st.
John. Among the guests were Pres
ident Arthur, David Davis, President
pro tempore ofthe Senate, the French
and German visitors, officers of the

but partially developed by the New Adj
ministration, was fast winning the con-

There's wise political sermon in
the following sentence from the reso-
buttons adopted by the New York
Democracy: REIMBURSEMENT is re-
pudiation. The act of the northern
Republican leaders in giving the
support of that party to reputation
in Virginia, Mississippi, Minnesota
and other States is national dis
grace, dangerous as precedent and
destructive of the public credit"

Life's Limits.

We do not subscribe wholly to the de-
duction given below but they are made by
medical gentlemen in the employ of life in
surance companies, and they assert the truth
of them, as. proved by their experience in
examining applicants for policies These
gentlemen say that the children of long
lived parents live little longer than the
parents. If only one is long-lived and the
other is from stock of less vital force, then
the children have sort of division of vitali-
~ among them. One will live to be very
aged, while another falls considerably short
of the life period of the shortest lived parent
But there is another fact still more sur
prising, pretty nearly as well established.
When a child arrives at the age at which
either parent died, aside from accidental
cause, it will become indisposed, gradually
sicken and may throw similar state of
vital disturbances on or about the anniver-
sary of the other parents death but if that
is passed, some years more may be safely
predicted as a life lease for the individual.
Laws of limitation are not exclusive legisla-
tive acts. Nature established them before
Darliments and congress were organized.

"'Not if it Was my Bow

Some years ago the late Horace Mann, the
eminent educator delivered an address at
the opening of some reformatory institution
for boys, during which he remarked that if
only one boy was saved from ruin, it pays
for all the cost and labor and care of estab-
fishing such an institution as that. After
the exercise had closed. in private conversa-
ton, a gentlemen rallied Mr.. Mann upon his
statement, and said to him, did you not
color that little, when you said that all ex-
penses and labor would be repaid if it only
saved one boy?" "Not if it was my boy"
was the solemn and convincing reply All !!
there IS a wonderful value about my boy"
Other boys may be rude and rough; other
boys may be reckless and wild other boys
may seem to require more pains and labor
than they will repay; other boys may be
left to drift uncared for to the ruin which is
so near at hand; but my boy"-it was worth

Success.

Purposes, however wise, without plans
cannot be relied upon for good results. Ran
dom or spasmodic efforts, like aimless shots
are usually no better than wasted time and
strength. The purposes of shrewd men in
the business of this life are always followed
by carefully laid plans. Whether the object
is learning, honor or wealth, the ways and
means are all laid out according to the best
rules and methods. The mariner has his
charts, the architect his plans, and the sculp-
tor his model-and all as means and con-
dition of success Invention, genius, or even
what is called inspiration, can do little in
any department of theoretic or practical
science, except as it works by well formed
plan. Then every step is an advance toward
the accomplishment of the object Every
tack of a ship made according to nautical
law keeps her steadily nearing the port
Each stake of the chisel brings the marble
into closer likeness of the marble No effort
Or time is lost, for nothing is done rashly or
at random. Therefore, let every young man
early in life begin to mature his plans. Be-
ore expecting great success he should be
certain that he is prepared to- achieve sue

Doctors Paw.

There are frequent mutterings of rebellion
by combinations Of patients against the ex-
pensive monopolies of the medical profession.
but in Western Canada the doctors are going
in for some sort of reform among themselves.
The medical profession is kind of close cor
poratlon. Its members have everything their
own way and sooner or later they are bound
to get hold OF most people, The public have
no option but to submit to their rules and
regulations with as good grace as possible.
Doctors are paid by fees, the profession pre-
tending to regard it as extremely undignifed
to exact salary, though, in the end, perhaps,
it amounts to the same thing, so far as the
patient is concerned. Just now DR.. Canniff,
Toronto physician of some note, publishes
a plan for regulating the system of remuner-
alton. lie suggests that people should pay
their medical advisers by the year. The
merit about this idea is that it would insure
to the doctor a certainty as to the amount of
revenue which he could, with safety, calcu-
late on per annum. In some countries the
family physician is paid by the year to keep
his patients in good health. When they get
sick his pay ceases, and the sooner he puts
them on their legs again the better it is for
him. In some very distant parts of the
Orient the custom observed among monarchs
notably by his Majesty of Burmah-is to
behead the court physician should royal
patient die while under his charge. This
nay be going little too far but there would

Advice to Young Girls.

When a girl is ten years old she should be
given certain household duties to perform
according to her size and strength, for which
certain sum of money should be paid her
weekly. She needs little pocket money,
and a knowledge of how to spend it judici-
Ously, which can SO well be given by d
mother to her little girl. She should be re-
quired to furnish part of her wardrobe
with this money. For instance, if she gets
ten cents week, she should purchase all
her stockings or gloves, as the mother may
decide, and doing this under the mothers
supervision, she will soon learn to trade with
judgment and economy. OF course the
mother will see to it that the sum is suffi-
cient to do this, and yet leave trifle for the
child to spend just as she pleases. This is a
healthful stimulus; it will give her a proper
ambition and pride in her labor and ability
to use money properly. AS she grows older
these household duties should be increased,
with proportionate increase of money paid
for the performance of them. know lady
who divides the wages OF servant among
her three daughters. There is systematic
of their labor which is done
with a thoroughness and alacrity rarely
found with hired girl or the daughter who
feels that she has to do it, with nothing to
encourage or stimulate her in the work.

The North Winds and the Dairy.

North winds not only dry up the grasses,
but they dry up the flow of milk, even when
the cows are we'll ted with good milk-grow-
ing food. And even though COWS be warm
ly stabbed, the quantity of milk given will
be less during the prevalence OF north winds
There is something about these north winds
that dries up all sources of moisture in the
soil, the vegetable and animal worlds 1t is
an interesting question whether milk drawn
from cows during the north wind season con-
tains as much butter as when the milk flows
more naturally and freely. 1t is a well
known fact that cows that are compelled to
undergo great physical exertion give milk
less rich in butter but containing more casin
or cheese properties. Cows that have to
cline hills or rocky declivities, for instance,
or that are compelled to 60 long distances to
pasture or for water, makes less butter but
more cheese. Thus the COWS of certain coun-
tries have become famous for butter while
those of other countries are famous as cheese
makers The face of the country, rather than
the breed of the cows, exerts an influence on
these facts, or rather the surface of the coun-
try stamps the character of the cows of that |

Eight Monks Murdered.
St. james Gazette. |


\ shocking murder was committed fort
night ago at monastery near the forest of
Vranyo-Selo in Hungary This monastery,
which was inhabited by eight monks who
were believed to be very wealthy, was at
tackled by q band of brigands, but an alarm
having been given, a body of soldiers came
to the rescue. The brigands endeavored to
baricade themselves in the monastery and
exchanged several shots with the soldiers,
who were more than an hour before they
could force an entrance. When they did get
in they found the monks lying gagged on the
floor, but could find no trace of the brgands
After the monks had been set at liberty they
Informed their deliverers that the brigands
had escaped by an underground passage lead
ing from their cellar to the forest. The SOL
diers at once searched for the passage, while
the monks went off to the chapel to give
thanks for their delivery. The soldiers hay
ing explored the cellar and having failed to
ind the door of the passage, came back to
ask one of the monks to act us their guide,
but they were nowhere to be seen. In the
course of further investigations, however,
they found the dead bodies of the eight
monks in small room, and the mystery was
then solved. The brigands seeing that they
could not escape, had murdered the monks
and hidden their bodies in this room, having
first stripped them of their clothes and put
them on themselves. They then gagged one
another to deceive the soldiers, and while the
latter were searching in the cellar had made
off to their Businesses in the forest.
