Hunting in a Graveyard.

acres, and is traversed by twenty miles
of drives. It is well named the City of

Several public men who called on
PRESIDENT Arthur left with the inference that
Secretary Lincoln is the only member of the
Cabinet to be retained. There is no reason to
expect that Gen. Grant or Roscoe Coukling
will be among the new ministers. So says a
Washington correspondent.
A Washington telegram of the 18th
inst, says President Arthur has accepted the
resignation of Secretary Window, the accept
ance to take place on the qualification of his
successor. 1t is understood that Secretary
Blaine viii insist on his resignation being &C
cepted Immediately after the Yorktown Centen-
NAL celebration; also Attorney General Mac
Veagh. Secretary Window has announced
himself as a candidate for United States Sena-
tor from Minnesota.

A Modest Request.

"Darling, wake up andstop snoring, 7"
said Detroit woman to her husband.
"Eh? Whazza matter now" he
asked as he half raised up in bed.
"Won't you please stop snoring? IF
you only knew how homesick it made
me I'm sure you would.
"Homesick How the deuce can my
innocent snore make you homesick ?"
"Why, you know, darling, that the
home on the coast from which you took
me, joyous bride, was only half a
mile from a fog-horn, and every time
YOU snore it reminds me SO Of home that
[ Just can't stand it. Please lay on
your side and have some little respect
for my feelings"
And then the brute spread himself
out on his back and in five minutes had
her bathed in tears as visions of the old
home crept upon her.

POLITICAL POINTS.

One of the flying rumors of the day
is to the effect that President Arthur has ten
dered Cabinet position to Judge Lapham, of
New York, giving Gov. Cornell a chance to call
a special session of the Legislature to elect
Oonkling to the Senate.
1t is stated that ex-senator ConkIing
has been offered Cabinet position by the Pres
ident, but has declined in the interest of peace
and harmony.

Reserved Power.

It is not wise to work constantly up
to the rate of which we are capable. II
the engineer of the railroad were to keep
the speed of his train up to the highest
rate he could obtain with his engine, it
would soon be used up. If horse is
driven at the top of his speed for any
length of time, he is ruined. It is we'll
enough to try the power occasionally of
a horse or engine, by putting on all the
motion it will bear, but not continuously.
All machinists construct their machines
SO there shall be O. reserve force. If the
power required is a four-horse, then they
make s1x-horse power. In this case it
works easily and lasts long, A man who
has strength enough to do twelve honest
hours of labor in twenty-four, and no
more, should do but nine or ten hours
work. The reserve power keeps the
body in repair. It rounds out the frame
to full proportions. 1t keeps the MUD
cheerful, hopeful, happy. The person
with no reserve force is always incapa-
bic of taking on any more responsibility
than he already has. A little exertion
puts him out of breath. He cannot in
crease his work for an hour without the
danger of an explosion. Such are gen
orally pale, bloodless, nervous, irritable.
respondent, gloomy. We all pity them.
The great source of power in the indi-
vidual is the blood. It runs the ma
chinery of life, and upon it depends our
health and strength. A mill on the
stream where water is scanty, can be
worked but portion of the time. So a
man with little good blood can do but
little work. The reserve power must be
stored up in this fluid. 1t is an old say
ing among stockraisers that 'sblood
tell" 1t is equally true that blood tells
in The sense in which we use the word.
If it is only good blood, then the more of
it the better. When the reserve power
of an individual runs low, it is an indica-
ton that change is necessary, and that
it is best to stop expanding and go to
accumulating, just as the miller does
when the water gets low in the pond.
Such course would save many person
from physical bankruptcy.

SIND cast iron revolvers can be bought

young man in the State has one of these
weaphs in his pocket, and makes it a

resolutions were adopted:

progressive impulses and aspirations for good
government made him an appropriate repre-
Sentative of the patriotic Republican party in

Arthur a life long and fearless advocate of the
Republican principles enunciated by the con-
vention which unanimously placed him in nom

and sympathy of all Republicans and to the
cordial support of all patriotic citizens.

had built.
