Aneedote of webs,er

Several months before the death of
Daniel Webster, before leaving Wash
ington for his home In Marshfield, he
wrote to Mr.. Stretson, of the AstOr
House, New York, to invite some If
teen or twenty friends, personally NAM
ing them, to take dinner with him the
next day. The gentlemen assembled,
and after congratulations, sat down to
dinner. Mr.. Webster took a light din
ner and one glass Of wine, 1 think-it
may have been brandy. Soon after he
leaned back in his chair, closed his
eyes and WAS silent. His friends were
surprised that, as they supposed, he
was intoxicated over one glass of liquor.
At last one gent near the foot of the
table, thought he would see il he could
rouse him out Of his stupor. He arose
and said: 'Mr. Webster, / want to ask
you question. What is the most i'm
portant idea that ever entered your
mind" Mr.. w. reused up, opened his
eyes, and asked il there were any
strangers in the room. mo, Mr.. Web
ster, none but your invited friends"
He asked the gent to repeat his ques-
ton, which he did. Mr.. w. then said,
"YOu ask me what is the most import
ant idea that ever entered my mind.
L will answer you, sir. The most inn
portant idea that ever entered my mind
was my own, individual responsibility
to God" He took this for his text,
and such an eloquent Christian adj
dress I never listened In in NV life
The guests soon discovered that he
was the most eloquent, If not the sober
est man at the table.

A HORRIBLE MASSACRE.

OOfuuhttco III inc Ndnic Ot SuTtSttdU-
ity--One Thousand Lives Sacrificed.
The Fiji Times gives the particulars
of a horrible massacre of 1000 natives
at Tapitowa, one of the line islands.
Kshu, Sandwich islander, acting as
missionary Of the London society, in
duced all the natives of Tapitowa to
embrace Christianity and give up their
idols. Latterly, however, people on the
southern part of the island became dis
satisfied at the instant acquisitions
which were made upon them for Cop
eras, and considering Kahu christiani-
ty too dear at the price they apostatiz-
ed. Kahu then preached a crusade
against them, and among his followers
led them in person, beating two clubs
together and shouting, "Millp "Millp
The carnage which followed is almost
too horrible for belief, not less than a
thousand men, women and children
having been indiscriminately massa-
cred. The most atrocious enormities
were practiced upon their victims by
the victorious party and after gener-
al slaughter the wounded were COL
lected together, piled one on top of an
other, and the roof of an old house
placed over them. The miscreant,
Kahu, fired it with his own hands.
When the schooner Elizabeth was at
the island the beach was still strewn
with dropping bodies of men, women
and children, but the arch fend in the
transaction had been taken to Homo.

How to 70 to Sleep.

The Kansas City Journal tells how to
WOO sleep when one is restless: Sit
down in an easy position, relaxing all
the muscles Of the body, and let the
head droop forward upon the breast, as
low as it will fall without forcing it.
Sit quietly this way for few minutes,
freeing all the will power from the
body, and a restless, drowsy feeling will
ensue. which will, IL not disturbed, lead
to refreshing sleep. II the sleepless fit
comes on at night, one can simply sit
up in the position described. Stiffness
Of any part Of the body must be avoid
ed, and 1t Is well TO bend the body for
ward after lying down, rather than
keep 1t straight, or throw it back upon
the pillow. The writer suffered sever
al years from sleeplessness, caused by
severe pain and nervousness, and was
taught the above by a physician of
very great experience and ability, and
found through It complete relief.
Many persons similarly afflicted within
the writer's knowledge have tried it.
and always with good results.

a Lawyers Boy.


Detroit Press.
Anybody who thinks that the boy
employed around a lawyers office has
nothing to do but empty the paper
basket, run to the post office, sweep the
room and read the jokes of Blackstone,
is grandly mistaken. A bOy-that is,
a prize of boy, and one who will
eventually become a geat lawyer him.
self-has a heap on his mind, and no
time for slingshots or tops. Yesterday
while Detroit lawyer was in court,
with his boy in charge of the Office,
newspaper man who was hunting
through the Moffat block stumbled up
on the young attorney and was re-
ceived with:
"Come right in. The papers in your
case are ready TO be signed"
"What case?"
application for divorce"
"But I'm not the man."
"Ain't you? Well, you look like
him. Let's see? Are you the de-
PENDANT in Jones VS.. Brown case of
tresspass? If so, am to tell you that
the case is put over until next Saturday,
at the same hour in the afternoon"
"No, 1 am not Brown"
"Well, that's all right. Let's see
again? L was to tell Ryan that his
case against Peters for Islander would
not come on this term, and TO suggest
that he amend his declaration. You
have not given the dates whereon the
defendant called you reptile and a
sneak"
"But l am not Ryan,"
ais that so? That's too bad, but
perhaps you can't help it. Was it
your wife who eloped with a man
named Blake?"

best to pull you through, as we do all
our clients"

"Dear me, that's another. Well, all

that Mr.. - would be back in an

A Hope Which is a Certainty.
Alexander McLaren, d. ID.

Alexander McLaren, D. ID.
Let us not fling away the treasures
of our hearts desires upon trifies and
earth. Let us not ''set our hopes on that
which is not" nor paint that misty
wall that rings round our present with
evanescent colors like the landscapes of
a dream. We may have a hope which
is certainty, as sure as a history, as
vivid as present fact. Let US love
and trust him who has been manifested
to save us from our sins, and in whom
we behold all the grace and truth of
God. If our eyes have learned to be-
hold and our hearts to love him whom
we have not seen, amid all the bewil-
dering glares and false appearances of
the present. our hopes viii happily dis
Germ him and be at rest amid the splen-
doris Of that solemn hour when he
shall come in his glory to render to every
man according to his works. With
thai hope, the future, near or far, has
no fears hidden in its depths. With
out it, there is no real anchorage for
our trembling hearts, and nothing to
hold by when the storm comes. The
alternative is before each of having no
'hope"-or docking for that blessed
hope" God help all to believe that
Christ has come for mel Then / shall
be glad when i think that Christ win
come again to receive me unto himself.

Liars.
Charles +. Deems, LIZ ID.

Charles Z. Deems, LIZ ID.
To charge a man with being liar,
is to offer him the last possible indigni-
ty, because it lays at his door the most
despicable of the crimes, crime which
involves total decentralization. There
was a time when ii resulted in duel,
and if a duel ought ever to De fought,
it is upon such charge. A man that
is liar deserves to be shot, if any man
ever does. To make the charge is to
attempt to do the man the greatest in
jury possible.
1t is the most despicable of crimes,
because liar is coward, a knave, and
a fool. He is coward because he at
tempts to gain ends by pretences. He
is fool, because he does not see that
if all men were lials, society would be
hurled into hell of anarchy.
There is no defence for it. 1t is not
witty, nor wise, nor beautiful, nor prof
liable. Any blOckhead can lie. A lie
is moral deformity. 1t has no coun-
terpart in any reality. All nature and
all the fixed facts of the universe con-
spire to fling lie up to the surface and
fling it out as the bodily system makes
a universal effort to eject poison. In
the long run, the truth will come to be
known and the lie exposed. In the
long run, therefore, the lie is unprofta-
bic.
There are polite liars whom we
smoothly call diplomats" men whose
paws are as soft as velvet, but armed
with claws like steel. They gain moth
ing by direct force of truth. Their
whole brains are given to the study of
circumvention. As soon as a man who
is smoother and more patient comes
along, their time of ruin comes.
There are liars of gossip, men and
women, the only salt of whose discourse
is falsehood, who scatter fire-brands,
arrows and death, and say, care we
not in sportP'
There are begging liars, who live 10y
their wits, such wits as they have, who
are framing narratives of misfortune,
who are attempting to deceive the char
liable, who are "dead BEATS"
The worst of the class is the long
faced liar, the "pious" deceiver who
tasks blessing on the lie he is about
to tell" and then returns thanks" at
its success. Alas, for the success! 1t
always comes back on the hypocrite in
curse. God will avenge himself if
any man attempts to make him party
to falsehOOd.
Truth is clear. Il is easy. 1t re
quires no study. 1t does not have to
be watched. The falsehood has no real
and permanent power in it. Truth tri-
umphs at last. The simplest soul can
conquer life to himself by truth, but ii
is not in the wit of man to bring beau
ty and good up out of reeking corrup-
ton of lies.

Cross, with Miss Barton at their head,
proceeded at once to organize a nation
al association. At a meeting held on
May 81, 1881, constitution was adop-
ted, and at subsequent meeting. on
June 9, officers were elected and the
counsel of the association instructed to
prepare articles of incorporation. As
soon as congress shall convene it is the
intention of the American Association
of the Red Cross to bring before it the
treaty of Geneva, with a view to Sc
curing the participation of the United
States in the benefits and obligations of
that instrument.
Her practical ideas will be best told
by the following extract taken from a

and entitled: "What the Red Cross Is"
at may be further a part of the
work of these societies in America to
afford ready succor and assistance to
sufferers in time of national or wide
spread calamities, such as plague, chol-
era, yellow fever, and the like; deyas-
tating fires and floods. The readiness
of societies, like those of the Red
Cross to extend help at the instant of
need, renders the aid far more
valuable and efficient than that gathered
together hastily and irrespcnsibly in
the bewilderment and shock which al
ways accompany such calamities. The
trained nurses and attendants subject
to the relief societies in such cases
would accompany the supplies sent,
and remain in action as long as need
ed. Organized in every state, the re-
lief societies of the Red Cross would be
ready with money, nurses, and supplies
to go on call to the immediate relief of
all who are overwhelmed by any sud-
den calamity. 1t is true that the gov
eminent is always ready in these
times of public need to furnish trans
portation and often much more. Dur.
ing the late yellow fever epidemic in
the south, and more recently at the
time of the floods in Dakota, it ordered
rations, clothing and tents to be dis
tributed under the direction of army
officers. But in such cases one of the
greatest difficulties is that there is no
organized method of administering the
relief which the government or be-
nevolont citizens are willing to bestow,
or trained and acclimated nurses ready
to give intelligent care to the sick; or
if there is organization it is hastily
formed in the time of need, and is
therefore comparatively inefficient and
wasteful. Although the people Of the
United States may hope to be seldom
visited by the calamities of war, yet the
misfortune of other nations constantly
appeal to their sympathies. And in
this country the south is periodically
visited by the scourge of yellow fever;
the valleys of the Mississippi are sub
ject to destructive foundations; the
plains of the west are devastated by
drOuth and insects, and cities and
country are swept by consuming fires.
In all such cases to gather and dis
pense the profuse liberality of the
people, without waste of time or ma
terial, requires the wisdom that comes
of experience and permanent organiza-
ton. To secure such permanent or
ganiZation the American association of
the Red Cross has been founded"
