Reserve Your Vitality.

tered my 80th year, perhaps I am my

Chambers Journal makes the following
remarks
How is it that such men work ON Wig
orously to the end? Because they treas
ure their ever-diminishing vital force.
They studiously refrain from making
pull on the constitution. Reaching the
borders of 20 years of age, they as good
as say to themselves: "We must nbw
take care what we are about" OF course
they make sacrifices, avoid number
of treacherous gayeties and live simply.
In other words, they conserve their
vital force, and try to keep active as
long as possible.
clustering natures, forgetful of the
great truth that "power itself hath not
one-half the might of gentleness," miss
the ends for which they strive Just be-
cause the force that is in them is not
properly economical. Then as regards
temper-any man who allows that to
master him wastes as much energy as
would enable him to remove the cause
Of anger or overcome an opponent. The
little boy of years old who IN the coun-
try is often seen driving team of four
immense dray horses IS one of the innu-
merable instances of the power of reason
over mere brute force, which should In
duce violent tempers to become calm
from policy, if from no higher motive.

SECRETARY BLAINE's REPLY.
WASHINGTON. ID. G.. J1lv %
An Interesting Bit of Unpublished
History,

The following curious dispatches, never be-
fore printed (says Washington telegram),
were sent by Mr.. Stanton to the Hon. Edwards
Pierrepont about month after the assassina-
ton of Mr.. Lincoln. They are interesting as
evidence of q very different phase of the ex-
element in Washington at that time from any
which has been caused by the attempt on the
life of President Garfield:

ton. EDWIN Nj. STANTON.
The second telegram was sent in reply to one

WASHINGTON NOTES.

Guiteau complains of his prison treat
ment. He thinks he is person of great inn
portance, and that, his offense being of po-
htical character, he ought to be treated
with more consideration than ordinary pris-
oners. He claims to be gentleman accus-
toned to luxury, etc. The Jail authorities do
not take him at his own estimate, however. and
have commenced to treat him as an ordinary
felon. This is having good effect on him.
Under it his vanity is diminishing somewhat,
and he is not so lordly in his manners as during
the first days of his confinement.

An eminent engineer has recently
preached the theory that the summer
condition of temperature, 60 to 68 deg,
and relative humidity, so to s. deg, are
not desirable or attainable at other sea-
sons in the heating of dwellings. His
argument is that the dry air of America
possesses both curative and preventive
qualities of great value, and that moist
air, which promotes vegetable growth,
is, on sanitary grounds, not desirable
for breathing then, too, the dew point
is far below the freezing point of water

Turned Their Heads.

Two members Of the British Parlia-
ment, having seen at the Springfield,
Mass, armory, Blanchard's lathe for
turning out gun stocks, advised Parlia-
ment to buy one of the machines, or the
Yankees would get ahead of them in the
manufacture Of arms. One member
arose and said the idea of turning gun
stock was so absurd that the members
had been imposed upon. A committee
was sent over who made similar re-
port, but the member still doubted He
said it was only soft wood that it would
cut. Finally, taking some pieces of
tough British timber he came himself to
this country, and on finding that bis
specimens turned all the better for being
hard wood, he ordered eight or ten ma
chimes. Not having made much ont of
his patent, Blanchard wanted a second
renewal Of it, He resorted to stratagem
to secure it. He set up lathe in Wash
ington for turning marble, and from
plaster casts of the heads of Webster,
Clay, Calhoun, and others, made their
busts in marble, which he exhibited in
the Rotunda Everybody was aston
ished at its being done by a machine,
and Congress renewed the patent.
Choate, who had been employed to OPP
pose extension, said Blanchard has
turned the heads of Congress and
gained his point. .

Ohio.

The trouble with the Ohio Democracy
has already commenced, and the party
is like house divided against self, be-
side being founded upon the sand. The
nomination of Bookwalter as the candi-
date for Governor is very distasteful to
HE old rock-rooted, moss-covered Bour-
bons, for several reasons, each
one of which will lose him many
votes. He was a Republican up
to 1872. when he "Greeleyized," and
has never been formally baptized into
the Democratic church. Then the con-
vention that nominated him did not ego
its length III favor of free trade, but
spoke of the encouragement of pro-
ductiye industries" which is sop to
the protectionists, and Congressman
Frank Hurd and his associate free trad
e18 are as mad as can be. Next, Book
walter is a monopolist, a bloated bond
holderand opposed TO the prohibitory liq-
nor laws, so that the cry OF anti-monop-
oily is OF no avail with such candidate
at the head of the ticket. Ohio has
got to be a large manufacturing State,
in iron next as large as Pennsylvania,
and " a tariff for revenue only is not q
popular political motto to write on a
banner except with the old hnnkers OF
the Democratic party, and Bookwalter
is suspected on all hands. The honest
men of the party feel scandalized be-
cause their candidate for Governor
opened his :" bari ? and literally bought
the nomination. So many persons and
papersallege. He isrich and can dot, and
the boys seem to have correctly "sized his
pile. So between tariff and free trade,
monopoly and anti-monopoly, prohibi'
ton and free whisky, the Democratic
party of Ohio will be like the troubled
sea this fall, stirring up mire and dirt.

cans, with their excellent ticket, will

Tt is an interesting fact that Massachusetts,
with only 81 per cent. of the total pc .1uation
of the country, has over 90 per cent of the
total number of bondholders, while New York,
with over 10 per cent. of the total population,
has 20 per cent. of the bondholders, Ohio has

has over 6 per cent. of the population of the

and Massachusetts the highest, Is 855. OF
the number OF holders (73, 114), 42.zGl are

The general conclusions, Mr.. Porter says
are that, while over IS per cenJ. OF the holders
reside in the New England States, not more
than II per cent. of the aggregate Of bonds
are owned in New England On the other
hand over AZ per cent. of the holders have
their residence IN the Middle States, and up
