outlets OF storm water sewers should be carried to
the waterway at its natural elevation-the eur
rent, especially in the case Of the new Boundary
avenue sewer, being checked by sufficient pond
ing of its outflow So far practicable all upland
water should be made to flow to the channel with
out descending into the drained lands. AS in
Holland, SO here, the deep drainage of the re-
claimed territory should be by open canals or
bitches, which, in the case of the Kidwell flats
might well be made of an ornamental character
The water in these canals would be kept pure by
the introduction of sufficient flow from the river
Except during violent storms the pumping need
be done only at low water, when but a slight lift
would be required. 1t would be easy to connect
nearly if not quite all of the drainage streams of
the reclaimed land at one point for removal, at a
single pumping station.
ASIDE FROM THE ECONOMY
and simplicity of this system 1t would secure the
very great advantage of affordng easy deep drain
age TO those large of the city which now lie
but slightly above tide level. This means of out
let being secured, there will be no difficulty in
rapidly reducing the ground level by natural
or artificial drainage sufficiently below the present
grade for all sanitary purposes In short the car
rying out of this improvement would be practically
equivalent TO raising the whole city six or eight
feet above its present level and giving 1t high and
dry ground to the shore of clear running stream
on each side. The reclamation ofthe flats east ofthe
channel of the Anacostia is by all means to be re-
commended as these fats must in time become,
lfthey not already, sources of malaria too
the city to be disregarded. Such of the reclaimed
land as is not needed for municipal purposes,
would, from its fertility and its nearness to the
market, have an agricultural value fully compen-
sating for the original and permanent cost of its
Improvement

Wanted n Change.

A New York firm dealing in pictures,
notices, &C., was visited last fall by small dealer
from village over in Jersey, and the man was
greatly struck with the motto: God Bless Our
Home"
Now, that's something original and unique"
he said, as he held one at arms length. Down
in our town we just banker after original designs
and unique literature, and I believe l can sell
hundred of these. You may make my order an
even hundred"
He went away well pleased, and his goods were
duly shipped, and nothing further was heard from
him until the other day. Then he entered the
store TO make some new purchases, and he was
asked to look ct new style OF notices just ont.
"a hain't no more interest in notices" he sighed
as he glanced at What is Home Without a
Mother"
You remember bought hundred OF you last

Yes; and how did they sell?

were three SANDER suits, two applications for d-

owen Lovejoy's EIoquenee.

Loveioy always suggested to me
oundhead of the days of Cromwell. He was thor
ougbly in earnest-almost, If not quite, fanatical
in his politics. His courage was unfinching, and
he would have died for his principles. He had q
blunt masculine eloquence rarely eQualed and on
the slavery question, as stump speaker, it would
be difficult to name his superior. In Feb
ruary 1882 ct the Capitol in Washington, speaking
of the acts which led to this trial flor harboring
fugitive slave), there is one of the bOldest and
most effective bursts of eloquence from Loveoy to
be found in all the literature of anti-slavery dis
cussion. He had been tainted and reproached on
the floor OF Congress, and stigmatized as one who,
in aiding slaves 10 escape, had violated the law
and Constitution of his country. He had been de-
nOunced niger stealer," threatened by the
Shareholders, and they attempted to intim-
idate and silence him. They little knew
the man, and his reply silenced them,
and extorted the admiration of friend and
foe. He closed one of the most radical and
imprisoned anti-slavery speeches ever made in
Congress by unhinchingly declaring: Il do assist
fugitive slaves. Proclaim it, then, upon the house
tops write il ON every leaf that trenlbles in the
forest make it blaze from the sun at high noon,
and shine forth in the milder radiance of every
star thar bedecks the armament of God; let it echo
through all the arches of heaven, and reverberate
and below along all the gorges of hell where
slave catchers will be very likely to hear it Owen
Loveoy lives at Princeton, ILL.,, three quarters of
mile east of the village, and he aids every fugitive
that comes TO his door and asks it. Thou invisible
demon of Slavery. dost thou think 10 cross my
humble threshold, and forbid me TO give bread to
the hungry and shelter to the homeless. Ibid you
defiance In the name of God"
heard Loveioy declare that after the death of
his brother he went to the graveyard Alton and,
kneeling upon the sod which covered the remains
of that brother he there before God swore eternal
war and vengeance upon slavery He kept his
oath.
He was man of powerful physique, intense
feeling, and great magnetism as a speaker, and he

4 Rosfan Romance.

The romance of one of Boston's two
story brick houses is told by The Yfap!F. Nearly
thirty years ago young man built it for his bride,
intending to mortgage it and pay for it gradually
his worldly goods increased, to all of whichsh
agreed. When the wedding day was appointed,
trousseau ready, and the house finished, he took
the lady out to inspect it. After going over the
house he presented her with deed oft for we'd
ding gift. Knowing the circumstances she was
astonished that he had actually paid foEit He
explained that buying ticket III a lottery he had
drawn the first prize, which just covered the cost
of the house The Puritan maiden protested she
would not take home obtained by gambling, and
refused the deed. His arguments were Of no avail;
she remained obdurate. When they left the house
he locked the door and threw the key into the
brook near by. The next day he boarded up the
windows, and only the spiders and mice have ever
occupied II. The man never married: he became
rich, but is wanderer on the face of the earth.
The woman never married-she fsstil living, poor
and an invalid.

Drunken Pigs.

Two French Swans have for the last
twelve months been keeping nine pigs in state of
habitual drunkenness, with q view to testing the
effects ofdiferent kinds of alcohol; and the Pre-
feet of the Seine last year kindly put some styes
and yard III the municipal slaughter houses at
the disposal of the Swans in order that they might
conduct their interesting experiment at the small
est cost to themselves. The pig who takes alb
snthe is at first gay. then excitable, irritable COM
bative, and finally drowsy; the pig who has brandy
mixed with his food is cheerful all through till he
falls to sleep; the rum swilling pig becomes sad
and somnclent almost at once; while the pig who
takes gin conducts himself i'll eccentric ways
grumting sQuealing, fitting his head against the
sly door, and rising on his hind legs as if 10 sniff

Gated swine in the France remarks that they are

heart Of fire and tongue of lightning, preaching
his crusade against slavery.
In the log choOl-houses, in the meeting houses
and places Of worship, and In the open air, he
preached and lectured against slavery with
yehemence and passionate energy which carried
the people with him. The martyrdom of his
brother was sufficient excuse for his violence,
and the name of LOvejoy the martyr, Ike the
name of Rob Roy or Douglass in Scotch history,
became aname to conjure with. Some idea off
dramatic power may be obtained from sermon
preached at Princeton, in January, 1912, on the
death of his brother. After describing his murder
by cruel mob, because he would not surrender
the freedom: of the press, he declared solemnly
that for himself, come life or death, viii devote
the residue of my life to the anti-slavery cause.

GARFIELD IN THE PULPIT.
How He Used to Hunt on Saturday and
Preach ON Sunday.

A correspondent of the Cleveland
Herald writes: Learning that President-elect
Garfield was at one time pastor of the
Disciple Church in Aurora, Ohio, and in
fact the only one with which he was thus
connected, writer of the Herald called upon the
Hon. c. R. Harmon, one of General Garfelds earliest
and most influential friends, and brought up the
subject by requesting the narration of any facts
" that he might choose to make public"
"Yes, General Garfield preached here to the Dis
ciple Church in 1878 think. He was elected
to the State Senate while preaching here. Gar
field, when boy, lived in town at different times,
and in haying time was a very desirable hand; but
after he began to go to school he was lost sight Of
and when he came to the front at Hiram college
this brought up the matter afresh, and the church
here being rather small, and Garfield being some
what at leisure onSundays, it was fxedup for him
to come here and preach every two weeks
at has been denied has it not, that Garfield was
ever reverend?"
"Yes. That arises from the fact that the Disciple
Church does not require license Of their teach
eTs, so that any member may conduct public ser
vices. do not think that he ever was preacher
in the full meaning of the wOrd.'
''Will YOU relate some of the circumstances of
his preaching here?'
"Oh, he used to come over usually Saturday
mornings and spend the day hunting. His tempera-
nlent was one IndI COuiu Dear the CLOSE COLI
inement of the school room and these Saturdays
were great pleasure to him. He was a splendid
shot, and he very successful in securing game.
He would tire out all the rest of the party i'll try
ing to keep up with him. In the evening he
liked 10 talk and discuss the news of the day, and
as it was the time of the rapid ascendancy of the
Republican party he was close student of the
tactics of the great leaders"
He was an unusually wcIl-informed young
man, was he not?"
Every. He could talk upon any subject, and he
never seemed satisfied until he had got to the bot
tom Oft. Sometimes we would talk all night. In
the morning after breakfast he would take his
Bible and few slips of note paper aud go into the
parlor by himself and prepare something as he
styled it. He could not have gone over the entire
subject, simply bringing out a point here and
there as heads but half hour later from these
points he would preach remarkable discourses,
especially noticeable for their completeness and
the clearness oftheir arguments, which must have
been supplied from the speakers stock Of general
information"
What was his style of pulpit oratory?'
Largely the same as now. The same easy
grace and a voice that the rules of elocuion have
but slightly improved. He had style then of
wearing his hair somewhat long, and being very
bushy and inclined to fail over his face he became

The Peacock and the oyster.

One day an oyster set out to cross q
neck of land to save himself long swim around
it, and as he journeyed along the dusty highway,
content with the weather, the climate, and mis-
surroundings, he suddenly heard n harsh voice
crying out for him to halt. As he rolled into the
shade of pigweed peacock advanced with a
lordly strut and demanded:

And the oyster saw. An eagle had been looking
for breakfast The humble oyster, hidden away
under a weed, escaped his piercing glances, but
the gorgeous peacock was instantly seen and
spotted There was a whir, a scream, and the
eagle had assembled with the vain glorious bird
fast in his claws.
