b. An Arkansas murderer devel-
oped so much musical genius during
his trial that the court had TO inter-
fere frequently to prevent the jury's
attention from being distracted BY his
humming and whistling. The intel
ligent twelve finally requited his me-
lodious impromptus BY returning a
verdict Of guilty Of murder in the first
degree. Prior to the passing Of SEN
tence the court told him to stand up,
aud when he had arisen prgpOunded
the usual solemn conundruEa in huch
cases: Have Jon anytlingto say why

answered the unfortunate man, Il

CoURAGE.-Have the courage to
face the difficulty, let it kick you har-
der than he bargained for. Difficult
ties, like thieves, often disappear at q
glance. Have the courage to leave a
convivial party at a proper hour for
doing SO, however great the sacrifice
and to stay away from one upon the
slightest grounds for objection, how
ever great the temptation to 60. Have
the courage to do without that which
you do not need, however much you
admire it. Have the courage to speak
your mind when it is necessary that
You should do so, and hold your
tongue when it is better you should
be silent. Have the courage TO speak
to a poor friend in seedy coat, even
in the street, and when a rich one il
nigh. The effort is less than many
people think it to be, and the act j.
worthy of a king. Have the courage
to admit that you have been in the
wrong, and you will remove the fact
in the mind of Others, putting desir-
able impression in the place Of an I'M
favorable one. Have the courage to
adhere to the first resolution when
you cannot change it for a better, and
to abandon it even at the eleventh
hour upon conviction.

the night. 1t was q double bedded
chamber, or was soon converted into
such, and the two guests, who were
both commercial travellers, agreed to
share it. One of these gentlemen was
. confirmed hypochondriac. and great
~ alarmed his eompanion by waking
him up in the middle Of the night
gasping for breath.

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
window.

gasped the Invalid. Give me more
air, or shall choke T.
At length. by dint of groping wild
ly and upsetting half the furniture in
the apartment, the window was found
but it was an old fashioned easement,
and no hasp or catch was to be discov-
eredS
"Quick, quick; air, ART" implored
the apparently dying man. "Open il,

Thus adiured, his friend lost no

After a while both fell asleep again,
devotedly thankful for the result. 1t
was warm summer night and they
felt no inconvenience from the bro
ken window; but when daylight
relieved the pitch darkness of the
night the window was found to be
still entire. Had invisible glaciers
been at work already, or was the cpl
sode 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,

itself in the shape of an Anticipated

were shattered wreck. The spas
medically attacked one was cured from

DIR. u. Hayes Agnew.
A Brief Sketch OF His Life and Labor5-
His Professional Standing.
IPhiladelphia Times.l

Philadelphia Times.1
For 40 years DR.. Agnew has made this city
the scene of his labors. Contending with
great difficulties at first he won step by step q
name for broad and accurate knowledge con-
summate skill, cool Judgment, steady nerve,
and humane impulses, which has kept improv-
ing year after year. DIR. Agnew has not con-
tributed any great discovery to science; he has
not been the author of any remarkable inven-
ton, and no great operation, SO far, stands in
separately connected with his name; but his
writings, wherein the results Of his wide read
ing and varied experience are combined, are
regarded as high authority. Besides this he
bears high reputation as lecturer, and is
accounted one of the most rapid, efficient, ac-
curate operators and one Of the keenest, most
reliable consulting surgeons in the country
DIR. Agnew was the son of physician who had
considerable local reputation in Lancaster
County, where he was born in 1918. The foun-
dation of his education was laid at Moscow
Academy, Chester County, which, at that time
under the charge of the Rev. Francis Latta,
was very tiourishing Seminary. He next
proceeded to Jefferson College, Cannonsburg
Penn, and completed his course at Newark
College, Delaware, where relative, the Rev.
John Holmes Agnew, was Professor of Ian
guages Having determined to adopt medi-
cine for profession, he entered the University
of Pennsylvania, whence he graduated in 1888,
and retired to the country, where, without re,
laxing his studies, he endeavored to acquire
practice. His success in this respect, howev-
err, was not equal to his hopes, and after a cou-
pie OF years he came to Philadelphia. He was
at this time laboring under considerable diff
cultes; he was without friends or influence
in short, he had nothing to look to for success
save his own ability and industry and the fund
of information with which he had taken care
to be supplied. One of his strongest points has
always been his perfect familiarity with the
human structure. 1t was this that gained him
his first decided step in his profession, and this
even to-day is one of the qualities tha6 lead
success in the track of his scalpel. Shortly af
ter he came here he began course of lectures
at the Philadelphia School of Anatomy, of Col
lege avenue. He maintained his connection
with this institution urtil about 1862, and the
result of his work is best summarized in the

the facts in regard to the points at issue
between the two branches of the Executive
department, and the public can judge
whether it is the Governor who has under
taken to bulldoze the Council, or the Coun:
Gil the Governor.
With regard to the recent meeting of the
Council which has been the subject of so
much sensational writing in the Democratic
newspapers, few words may be said It is
clearly the right of the Governor to nomi-
nate whomever he pleases to office; it is
equally the right of the Council to approve
or reject such nominations and at such
times as it sees fit.
The Governor oftentimes occupies the
chair as pesiding officer when nominations
are considered, but not necessarily. In
the early days of the Executive department
the chairman of the Council always, and
with more propriety, presided. At the recent
meeting of the Council when Mr.. Bowers
made the m otion to lay the nomination of
Mr.. Little on the table it was the duty of
the Governor as presiding officer to put the
motion. 1t was a parliamentary motion
and proper one and in refusing to put it
the Governor was not only guilty of gross
discourtesy but also of an Illegal attempt to
control the action of the Council. He had
exhausted his province when he made the
nomination. 1t then passed into the hands
of the Councillors to do with it as they saw
fit. 1t was clearly their right to approve it, TO
reject it or to lay it over for further consid-
Grafton, and it is charitable to conclude that
the refusal of the Governor to put the mo-
ton to lay on the table and his subsequent
adjournment of the Council sine die were
the result of a fit of pettishness and not of
deliberate purpose to interfere with the
prerogative of constitutional branch of the
government.
There is nothing in all this controversy
that need keep people awake nights, or
cause them to indulge in fits of melancholy
concerning the future Of the State. Even
the announcement which is made daily by
the Democratic newspapers that Gov.
Plaisted is the owner of backbone of ex-
traordinary size and stiffness should be
borne with equanimity. 1t is safe to predict
that the Governor and Council will meet
again and in this world, that commissions
will be issued to justices of the peace, that
public institutions will be visited, that pub
lie officers will be paid and in short the
right of the people enjoy the services of an
executive council of their own choice be
vindicated in spite of the Arous and the
Bangor Commercial.

The land bill has passed the House of
Commons without serious modification
from its original draft, and with very little
opposition. In the House of Lords the
promptness with which it was passed to a
second reading indicates that the members
of that body are at least not going TO under
take its defeat by indirection.

The Argus thinks that it has observed
that the Radical organs are manifesting con-
siderable fear lest the Democrats may NOM
mate Judge Gilbert in the Second District.
The Argus, with its multitudinous eyes,
ought to have observed better. The Radi-
cal organs do not care straw whom the
Democrats nominate and have expressed no
anxiety on the subject. The only organ
that has is a Democratic organ called the
Lewiston Gazette whic h, in a recent issue,
after quoting the resolution of the Greenback
convention which pledged Greenback vot-
ers to Support no candidate for Representa-
tive who will not regard himself as in honor
bound to faithfully cooperate with Repre-
sentatives Of our party in Congress in the
organization of the House and the futher-
ance of all strictly party measures" COM
mented as follows:
1t is proper that Democrats should under
stand precisely where this pledge places the
nominee they are expected to indorse. He
will be compelled to act on all party matters
with the Greenbackers as against either of the
old parties. Especially in the organization of
the House, which now hangs in the balance, if
the Greenbackers in Congress unite on a poll
cy to prevent a Democratic organization, or
ally themselves, as Solon Chase practically has
done here at home, with the Republicans, for
their own Straight" party purposes Judge
Gilbert has pledged himself TO act with them.
There is nothing in the past course of the
Greenbackers in Congress to assure US that
they will act as body with the Democrats.
One OF them, j. Hyatt Smith of Brooklyn, has
already signifed his intention to act with the
Republicans in this matter of organization, and
for all we know majority may conclude to do
so in their own alleged party interest Judge
Gilbert is pledged to act with that majority
and, if elected, the curious contradiction
would arise of Congressman elected by
party which helped elect him, and, what is
more, being in honor bound compelled to do so.

The New York Herald says that if the
President RECEIVERS it will be due ''to our
course in procuring for the President the
regular admission to his bedside of the good

refrigerate the Presidents room without
any assistance from the apparatus in the
White House cellar.
