doubt, for Arthur and he are
great friends. Any personal re-
quest which General Grant would
make of the President would no
doubtreceiye the greatest c0nsid-
Grafton. Arthur belongs TO that
class of men who never forget
their friends. This was eyidenc-
ed by the fact that he offered Nr.
COnkling the Secretaryship OF
the Treasury. But il was offered
no doubt with the knowledge
hat Mr.. Conkling's health would
not permit him to accept it. Yet
Mr.. Arthur was quick TO acknowl-
edge his obligation to the eX-Sen-
ator and friend
rs Mr.. Conkling out of health.'
"Oh, yes, indeed. 1t is all that
Conkling can do to make a live
OF it. He has a d~eep-seated lung
trouble, which is liable to carry
him off at almost any time"
Are there any differences
among the Republicans in New
York now!n
"None other than those grow
ing out of the Senatorial contest
last summer, and these can not
last. The men who felt sore over
that have had their time for re-
venge, and the Republicans will
re-elect Governor Cornell next
fall by increased majOritles,"
as Mr.. Blaine strong in New
York;"
Every. His record this summer
has won him more friends than
ever before, and when he wants
the vote of New York he can
have it,
could he carryNew York now
if necessary
"Easily enough, against any
body il. the country, Blaine is the
leading man of this country, and
if all signs do not fail he will be
elected President Of the United
States three years hence without
the slightest effort. He is soon
to go INTO private life. If he re-
mains in this country until 1888,
as | am assured he will, there is
no one alive who can beat him"
Mr.. Smith spoke about the Pres
i1ent's tactin handling men, and
said he thought he was unequal
ed in that respect, and that no
body would ever leave Arthur's
presence in a bad humor. No
matter how badly disappointed
he may be, the Presidents man
ner is such that you cannot bespf
Tended. II Think said he, THAT
he is inclined to procrastinate
somewhat, however. He is fond
OF taking his ease, and likes to
get all the pleasure out Of the
world as he goes along. His best
time is from 10 o'clock at night
until in the morning. He is
then amiable, viyacious and
happy. He likes to have his
friends around at such times, and
he will keep the entire company
in good honor. This desire not
to miss the good things Of this
life leads him to procrastinate
somewhat, and the Senate during
its extra session learned his weak
ness in this regard and were be-
coming impatient at delay. On
the whole, the new President is
going to make many friends and
no enemies, and it will be Ches-
ter A. Arthur every day and not
General Grant at the head OF the
country during the coming three
wears"

ORIGIN OF MANY NURsERY-RnYMEs.
Many of u old nursery-rhymes had,
In their day, q political significance.
Some Of them owe their origin to dis
tinguish writers. .'Sing a Song of Six
pence'' is as old as the sixteenth CEN
tury. "Three Blind Mice'' is found in
a music book dated 1909. "The Frog
and the Mouse' was licensed in 1880.
Three Children Sliding on the icen
dates from 1889. "London Bridge is
Broken Down" is of unfathomable
antiquity. Boys. and Girls Come Out
to Play" Is certainly as old as the reign
Of Charles IL, as is also "Lucy Locket
Lost Her Pocket, /" to the tune OF which
the American song Of Yankee DOODLE
was written. Pussy Cat. Where Have
You BeenP" is n of the age Of Queen
Ben. Little Jack Homer, is older
than the seventeenth century. 1.-THE
Old Woman Tossed in q Blanket" is Of
the reign Of James IL, to which mon
arch It 10 said to allude. Many other
rhymes have Interesting histories.

The Dread Mafterhorn.

Zermalt~ Switzerland, Aug. ls.-Five
American tourists assembled the Mat
terhorn Saturday last. On their return
a rock, accidentally d~islodged, struck
the head OF Gilbert, a tutor of the In
diana university, Bloomington, Ind,
rendering him partially insensible. He
was just able to move mechanically
along, nearly four hours being spent
in bringing him to the first hut. Some
Of the party proceeded and brought DIR.
Gilbert, who arrived at Zermalt on
Sunday evening. He suffers princi-
pally from loss Of blood and will be
able to leave shortly. The guides were
apprehensive that If he collapsed before
he arrived at the hut the party would
be frozen to death before succor could
be obtained.

London, Aug. ls.-James Caird, an
eminent agricultural authority, writes;
But for the late rains and diminished
temperature the harvest would have
proved equal TO the average of the years
preceding IA, but mildew has appeared
and will affect the quality and yield of
the later crops. On tgo-thirds of the
wheat land the average crop viii be
made up by ineness of quality. In the
remaining third, even with that aid, It
viii be ten per cent. below the old
average. Heavy crops are rare; most
of them are thin but well headed, and
tkere is too common an evidence shown
throughout the country Of the dimin-
ished capital of the farmers by the
lower scale of farming. We began the
harvest year very bare of old stock

quirements are "a, 000. 900 to 20, 0O0, 900

the tribunals OF the country. This WAS
enactly what had been done; but such
was the state of Ireland, that its judi
cial system va rendered uncertain.
The government would be only too glad
TO see the time arrive to release the
prisoners, but during the debate threats
had been made that unless the prison
ers were released there would be no fair
trial of the land bill. This sort of lang
uage would certainly have no force in
consideration of the duty Of the govern
ment. 1t was not by defiant speeches
nor by the tones Of those who pointed
across the Atlantic. as the land from
which the woes Of Ireland would be
avenged. that the government would be
induced to hasten by one day, the open
ing of the prison doors. The par
amount duty of the government was
the preservation of law and order. But

claration Of Forster and he would never

but every young man should see that 1t

therefore he should decide not to in

As to the nse of light wines and ale, 1t
would be better for the nation IL they
were introduced freely enough to abate
the consumption of fiery liquors. Tenn
perance is an evil which cannot be over

content to regulate the sale OF liquors

remarkable that we beg to ask for it
the attention of our readers. He says:
'sIn the fall of 1876 l was taken with

by a severe cough. l o began to
lose my appetite and flesh. l was 30

my bed. In the summer OF 1877 1 was
admitted to the city hospital. While
there the doctors said 1 had a hole in
my left lung as big as a half dollar. /
