Coleridge: Socrates introduced ethics,
and Taught duties. and then finally Plato
asserted, or reasserted, the idea of God,
the maker of the world. The measure of
human philosophy was thus full. when
Christianity came to add what before was
wanting-assurance.
Charles Dudley Warner: Anybody can
write first lines, and that is probably the
reason we have so many poems which seem
to have begun in just this wayAthat is with
south wind longing without any thought
in it; and it is very fortunate when there is
not wind enough to finish them.
Sydney Smith: Not only study, that
those with whom you live should habit
ually respect you, but cultivae such man
ners as will secure the respect of persons
with whom you occasionally converse.
Keep up the habit of beieg respected, and
do not attempt to be more amusing and
agreeable than is consistant with the pres
ervation of respe ct.

The suicide of Judge Colt, of Massa-
chusetts. is regarded as warming of the
dangers Of mental overwork, worry and
strain. He was the possessor of strong
frame, and sound physical health, hap
py,and cheerful disposition, large for
tune and an exceptionally happy home.
But he was conscious Of some deficiencies
in legal learning. which he endeayored to
make up by severe application; but more
than this, he, took his cases with him where's
ever he went, considering them at all times
and hours in anxiety to fulfil his full duty.
The result of this was to break down his
strong mind, andaallt symptoms of Pc
riodic depression, self condemnation, and
finally doubt and despair indicated the ex-
actcourse of mental disease produced by

CAPTAIN Howgate, late disbursing Off
Ger of the signal corps, is now regarded as
a first class swindler. His embezzlements
were first estimated at $40, ,00O, but later
investigations show that they aggregate
over 00.000. Howgate is estimated to
be worth between $780, 900 and $4O0, 900,
and the most of his swindles upon the
government have been perpetrated during
the last five years. He has raised checks,
made false vouchers and taken money in
the boidest manner He has drawn checks
payable to bearer, and in that shape they
have been approved by the officers of the
treasury and paid at the cash room. These
crimes, together with various immoralities
constitute shameful record for an officer
OF the army and will lead to his dismissal.
