President Garfield's Speech at Hamp-
ton InStitu e.

President Garfield in his recent visit
to the Hampton Institute, IN Virginia,
addressing the negro and Indian pupils
gathered IN Bethesda Chapel, situated
on the grounds of the National Genet
cry there, said:
. As drove through these grounds
to-day was impressed by the thought
that passed between the representa-
tives of the past and the future. Grip
pied and bent with service on the tent
ed field, those veterans in the Soldiers
Home behind US represent the past.
You represent the future,-the future
of your race,-a future made possible
by the past, by these graves lying all
around us.
Two phases of the future strikes me
as look over this congregation. For
1 see still another race here, race
from the far West. You two classes of
people are approaching the great prob
lem of humanity, which is labor, from a
different side. | would put that prob
lem into four words: Labor must be
free. And for those of you from the
West, / would take off the last word in
order to enforce the first. To you !
would say: Labor must bel-for you,
for all-wlthout it there is no civiliza-
ton. The other race beside you has
learned that truth They came here
with people who felled the forest and
swept away all obstacles before them
by labor. You come from a people
who have been taught to destroy-to
fight, but not to labor. Therefore to
you would say that without labor you
can do nothing. The first text in your
civilization is: Labor must be!
You others have learned this text
but you learned it under the lash.
Slavery taught you that labor must be-
The mighty voice of war spoke out and
said to you, and to us all, that labor
must forever be free The basis of all
civilization is that labor must be. The
basis Ct everything great in civilization,
the glory of our civilization, is that la
Dor must be free.
am glad to see that Gen. Armstrong
Is working out this problem on both
sides,-reaching one hand to the South
and one hand to the West-with all
this continent of Anglo-Saxon civiliza-
ton behind him; working it out in the
only way it can ever be worked out;
the way that will give us country
without sections; q people without
stain

The Imagination Cure.

At large hotel in Suffolk. the not
uncommon dilemma arose of there be-
ing only one room in the house vacant
when two visitors required accommo-
datlons for the night 1t was double
bedded chamber, or was soon convert
ed into such. and the two gucets-who
were both commercial travellers
agreed to share if One of the gentle
men was a confirmed hypochondriac,
and greatly alarmed his companion by
waking him up in the middle OF the
night, gasping for breath. asthma"
he painted out; II am subject to these
spasmodic attacks, 0pes4 the window
quickly; give me air.
Terrified beyond measure, the other
jumped out of bed. But the room was
pitch-dark; he had no matches, and he
had forgotten the position of the win
dow.
For heavens sake be quick" gasped
the invalid. "Give me more air or
shall choker'
At length, by dint of groplng wildly
and upsetting half the furniture in the
apartment, the window was found; but
it was an old-fashioned easement. and
no hasp or catch could be discovered.
Quick, quick; air, air. implored
the apparently dying man. "Open it,
break it, or shall suffocate!"
Thus adjured, his friend lost no more
time, but Selling boot. smashed every
pane; and the sufferer immediately
experienced relief.
''Oh, thank you, Il thousand thanks.
Hal" he exclaimed, drawing deep signs.
which testified to the great comfort he
derived; Il think in another moment /
chould have been dead"
And when he had sufficiently recov-
cred, he described the intense distress
of these attacks, and the length of time
he had suffered from them. After a
while both fell asleep again, devoutly
thankful for the result. 1t was warm
summer night, and they felt no incon-
venience from the broken window. but
when daylight relieved the pitchy dark
ness of the night, the window vas found
to be still entirel Had invisible glaz-
lers been at work already, or was the
episode of the past night only dream?
No; for the floor was still strewn with
the broken glass. Then, as they looked
round the room in amazement, the So
luton of the mystery presented itself
IN the shape at an Anticipated bookcase.
The spasmodically attacked one was
cured from that moment SO much
for Imagination.

keeping the Head Clean.

Keeping the head clean is great aid
to health. A distinguished physician
who has spent much OF his time at
quarantine, said that person whose
head was thoroughly washed every
day, rarely took contagious diseases.
but where the hair was allowed to be-
come dirty and matted it was hardly
possible to escape infection. Many
persons find speedy relief for nervous
headache by washing the head in weak
soda water, thoroughly. We have
known cases almost wholly cured by
this simple remedy in ten minutes. A
friend finds it the greatest relief in cases
of rose cold" the cold symptoms en-
tirely leaving the eyes and nose after a
thorough washing of the hair. The
head should be thoroughly dried after
ward, and avoid draughts of air for a
little willis.

Scoring a Bull's-Eye Through a Mans
Body.


An unfortunate mishap occurred yes
terday afternoon at the new ranges of
the Victoria Rifle Club between here
and the Halfway House, Dundas road.
Members of the club were engaged in
practice at the 1000 yard range and Mr..
Margetts was firing at the target. when
unhappily the marker, George Jenkins
stepped in front and received the bullet
which passed though his body and,
strange as it may appear, struck the
bull eye which was despatched with
blood. Jenkins passed the night very
favorably, and Dr. Griffin has great
hopes that he Will recover. The bullet
was one of Remington's $50 grains and
entered at the back below the shoulder
blade, passing about an inch below
the left nipple. After looking where
the ball had struck the target, and
seeing that it was bulls-eye, Jenkins
says he felt singing pain as ifa needle
had gone through him. He then veil
ed at the parties at the range for the
purpose of letting them know that lie
had been struck, and then ran down
the range 240or go yards, as several of
the marksmen approached him ne fell
over. He bled but little from the wound
and there has not been much internal
hemorrhage.

An old lady who knew ex-senator
Conkling's father and mother, says
Zone day when Roscoe was visiting my
fathers family, as the horse and sulky
were brought up to the door, and my
father was just getting ready to start
out for ride among his patients, young
Roscoe, thinking he would get some life
out of the old horse, took pin and
stuck it in his launches, when the
usually 5taid animal suddenly gave a
kick and hit Roscoe q severe blow on
the forehead, cutting cash that to this
day leaves a scar on his brow. And
this is why the ex-senator permits a lit
tie auburn curl to drop down over the
