Hom,-By Oliver Wendell Holmes.

I never saw a garment too fine for man
or maid; there never was chair too good
for cobbler OF cooper or king to sit
in; never house too fine to shell
ter the human head. These elements about
us, the glorious sun. the imperial sun, are
not to good for the human race. Elegance
fits man. But do We not value these tools
a little more than they are worth and some-
times mortgage house for the mahogany
We bring into it? had rather eat my din
ner off the head OF barrel, or dress after
the fashion of John the:Baptist in the wild
erness, or sit on block ali my life, than
consume all myself before got to home,
and take so much pains with the outside
that the inside was as hollow as an empty
nut. Beauty is great thing, bat beauty
of garment, house, and furniture are taw-
dry ornaments compared with the domes-
tic love. All the elegance in the world will
not make home, and would give more
for spoonful of real hearty love than for
whole shiploads of furniture and all the
gorgeousness all the upholsterers in the
world can gather.

RECORD OF,CKI1IE.

At Toledo. Joseph Meyer, % years Of age,
committed suicide His body was found hanging
in the yard of his residence at daylight He used
the same rope with which his father, F. Joseph
Meyer, hanged himself last summer. He was
unmarried.
A horse thief stole no, 80 and buggy at Du-
buque Pursuit was made and the horse and
buggy was found the following day, tied to q
tree about six miles in the country. Close by
was an old and deserted mineral shaft about
forty feet deep. At the bottom was found the
dead body Of man, supposed to be the thief.
The anticipated prize fight between White
and Holden is OF. The combatants began the
contest near Coneaugh, Ohio, when an Ohio
constable interfered and declared that the fight
must n0t proceed. An effort was made to have
the mill 60 on elsewhere, but unsuccessfully,
and the referee declared the fight draw. The
result causes great dissatisfaction. Besides the
100 sports who came on the train, nearly 200
countrymen gathered to see the fun. Itis the
general opinion that the battle would have
been long and desperate one. The pugilists
were subsequently arrested at Erie, Pa, on
complaint Of Sheriff Styles of Ashtabula county,
Ohio, and committed to Jail to await requisi-
ton from Gov. Foster.

In New YORK the legislature will not
choose United States Senator, that bus
mess having been attended to by the re-
publicans before they went out of power.
The advantage to the democrats, as they
suppose, will lie in having the power to

the State after Congress shall have passed
the appotionment act. But then there is

may be interposed against them, and a

THERE is nothing mean or miserly in the
way public officials in New York are COM
pensated. The civil justices, or police
magistrates get So, 600 year, sit only two or
three days week and are allowed to prac-
tice law beside; common pleas judges and all
of similar rank get from SIS, 900 to $18,O0o
members of the council are paid 50, 900,
and all other salaries Of city officials are in
proportion. The only excuse offered for
such extravagance is the very poor one,
that large per cent. Of the salaries of each
is absorbed by election expenses.

Lake Ontario Falling Steadily.

No little concern is felt by persons in
terested in the harbor accommodations of
Lake Ontario by reason of the assured fact
that the level of the lake has fallen steadily.
and in marked degree, for many years.
The records have been accurately kept.
and leave no room for doubt. MANY
wharfs III many ports were formerly acces-
sible to vessels which cannot now come
near them. The entrance to the harbor Of
Toronto has been kept open only by means
of thorough dredging, and now, when rock
bottom has been reached, there is scarcely
enough water to float the largest of the
vessels which seek to pass. Various ex-
plantations for the subsidence of the water
have been offered, but none of them seem
to be adequate.

Representative Manning of Mississippi said
that lie would not, and that he wanted the re-

CALIFORNIA hopes to see the time when
a train will be run from San Francisco to
Boston in four days and one hour--ninety-
seven hours-which would be but trife
faster than the fastest train between New
York and Chicago, that makes the run of
912 miles in twenty-six hours. On the
lines between the Missouri river and San
Francisco, where the stations are far apart
and not many stops are made, rate of
speed touching forty miles an hour would
be sufficient to make the desired time.

THE impeachment of two judges of dis
trict courts in Minnesota, within brief
period, is unwarrantably attributed to the
low character of its judicial officers. This
is mistake. These prosecutions only show
the high standard required in Minnesota Of

every judge shall live up to it personally as
we'll as officially

A RELIGIOUS paper of New York has
11ade the discover? that the war depart
ment OF the government is in the hands of
religious ring controlled by the Cathelic
church through Mrs. General Sherman,
and that the control of appointments. pro-
motions and the general policy of that de-
partment has been wrestled from the pres
ldent and secretary Of war. The only evil
dence offered i'll support Of these allega-
tlons, is that several catholics hold impor-
tant offices, which is hardly sufficient to
sustain them.

Controller Knox on National Banks,

Controller Knox of the treasury department,
closing lecture at Baltimore, said: The rapid
reduction Of the public debt at the present time
indicates hereafter gradual reduction in the
circulation of the banks, but even if the public
debt should be rapidly paid, the national bank
ing system need not be dissolved, for under tke
present laws the minimum amount of United
States bonds required to be kept on deposit in
the treasury by all banks as security for their
circulation is considerably less than $780,
coo. 900.

this morning. At the appointed hour for Judge
Small's decision, Mr.. Orton having been ad-
judged guilty OF unprofessional conduct in the
case 80 we'll known to the public, the court
room was filled with members of the bar. In
his preliminary remarks Judge Small was very
severe, and condemned Mr.. Orton's practice,
as we'll as those of other members of the bar
not mentioned, in unmeasured terms. His
address was bitter and pointed, At it's conclu-
sion the following was entered: 1T is ordered
therefore and directed by the court that John J.
Orton be and he hereby is discharged forever
from the rigtt ito practice in any way in the courts
of this state as attorney, and that the name Of

A Ccmpromise on Milling Patents.

A compromise hss been effected between the
National Miller's association and the George T.
Smith Middlipgs Purifier company, by which
the suits brought by the latter against the most
prominent millers of the county for an alleged
infringement OF what is known as the Cochrane
patents has been settled. The sub-executive
committee of the National Miiler's association
met c. r. Knickerbocker of jackson, Mich,

and after lengthy discussion the compromise
was effected by the association paying the ccm-
pany $50, 900. The suits which the Purifier
company brought against the mille,s in the
country aggregated $36, 100000 This CON-
promise puts an end to the trouble 80 far as
members of the National Mi.ler's association
are concerned, but those outside the associa-
ton will have to fight the matter in the courts.
