man. I say this not from egotism or vain
glory, but merely as deduction from the plain
analysis of the political forces which have been
at work in the country for the five years
past, and which have been significantly
shown in great national conventions. accept
it as one of the happiest circumstances con-
nected with this affair, that in allying my polit
ical fortunes with yours, or rather, for the time
merging mine in yours, my heart goes with my
head, and that carry to you not only political
support, but personal and devoted friendship. I
can but regard it as somewhat remarkable that
two men of the same age, entering Congress at
the same time, influenced by the same aims,
and cherishing the same ambition should never,
for single moment in eighteen years of close
intimacy, have had a misunderstanding or
GOODNESS, and that our friendship has steadily
grown with our growth, and strengthened with
our strength"

Packing a Trunk,

Most people dislike to pack trunk,
and to do it well is something of an art.
1t should never be done in hurry. You
should first get everything together
which is to be packed, and then go quiet
ly and systematically to work. Very
large trunks are an abomination over
which expressmen groan and swear, not
altogether without reason. Still, small
ones are inconvenient, except for short
journeys, and multiply expense, as the
expressage is for each piece, be it Sara
toga trunk or a small valise, without re-
gard to size. But, whatever the size of
the trunk, it should be filed, or at least
packed full enough to prevent the con-
tents from tossing about. If you are
compelled to take trunk which is too
large for what you need to pack in it,
fill it with crumpled paper, rather than
leave it half empty. Owing to the rough
usage which baggage always receives,
unless the trunk is closely packed the
contents will be literally churned up and
down, and the clothes which you have
carefully folded will be tumbled to de-
gree, even if nothing worse comes to
them. For a long journey it is well to
cord trunks. Rope is better than strap.
heavy, like boots, etc., should ever be
put in the top of trunk, since the more
heavily it is weighted the more likely
the hinges are to break. Dresses should
be carefully folded, with the founces
laid smooth and drawing-strings let out,
the waist folded but once, the wrong
side out, with the sleeves laid over the
back and the fronts over all. Then, il
absolutely necessary, the basque may
be folded again down the middle seam
of the back, but never across.

HahituaI Month Breathing.

Many people sleep with the mouth
open, and thus make this organ perform
duty which should be transacted by
the nose. There are many objections to
this, and DIR. Wagner clearly points them
out. The air in passing through the
channels of the nose, for instance, Is
raised to the temperature of the body
before it reaches the larynx. Thus
breathing, no matter how low the tenn
perature may be, the sense OF cold Is
never felt below the border of the soft
palate. But when one breathes through
the mouth on a Geld day the sensation
proceeds as far as the larynx, and an ir-
ritating cough may be caused. Then,
again, In nose breathing the air is moist
ened by the natural secretions which
cover the turbinated bones in condi-
ton of health, and the short bristly
hairs at the openings of the nostrils act
as filter to arrest impurities and reduce
the likelihood of laryngial, bronchial, or
pulmonary, disease. Infants, athletes,
savages and animals breathe through the
none-the ordinary civilized man employs
the mouth to an unnecessary, and often
to very injurious, extent.
The causes of mouth breathing are
myriad. Complete or partial closure of
the passages, polypus, congenitl bony
closure, enlarged tonsils, protruding
teeth, adhesion of the soft palate of the
posterior wall of the pharynx-an these
are sufficient causes of mouth breathing.
The indications are not SO subtle as not
to be readily recognized. Retracted
lips, open mouth, receding gums, pro-
truding teeth, shrunken alac, decreased
size of the nostrils' orifces, wrinkles at
the eyes outer angles, and lines extend
ing from the alac to the mouth angles,
are the predominant signs. The effects
of mouth breathing upon the pharynx
are often most deplorable. The mucous
membrane becomes much irritated. A
chronic engagement of the blood yes.

Utilization of the vessels is produced, and

mans sore throat is produced. The
writer devotes part of his space t.

Guifeau,a LnHxer.

scoville, Guiteau's lawyer, it is said, mis-
apprehends the situation, and has not the
ability to manage the case with proper refe--
ence to the public temper. Some things that
he has let drop show that his experience as
real-estate lawyer and lack of practice in crimi-
nal proceedings may lead to course that can
not be anticipated except with alarm in view of
the inevitable effect such line of policy would
have upon certain elenlents in the country.
Unless he accepts judicious advice and proceeds
with more discretion than he has indicated we
may expect to see the unrefective public ex-
cited again through the same agencies as
characterized the wild utterances during the
first few days after the tragedy of July 2.

Affairs iHa Tuuis.

A dispatch from Tunis states that an attack
on the station was made by the Arabs who re-
Gently attacked Ali Bey. The station master,
an ex Lieutenant in the French army, and a
chevalier Of the Legion Of Honor, was burned
alive, and ten employees, mostly Maltese and
Italian, massacred. Six hundred French troops
went there the S0th ult., but the Arabs disap-
peared long before their arrival The massacre
was undoubtedly caused by the wholesale de-
struction of the olive forests, villages and vine-
yards which General Sabatier conside ed nee
essary around Zaghouan. The Tunisian author
ities are evidently trying to screen the Arabs
accused of numbering the Maltese and Ital-
ians.

THE DEMON ARCHITECT.
BIZ II. Z. LOCKE.

Somewhere have read a strange story,
Sent down from the ages of old;
1t may be some monk in his closter
This wonderful story hath told.
So long 1t hath been since read 1t,
1t looms indistinct to my mind;
1t seems like far-distant echo
Borne on by the whispering wind.
How once in Cologne the Archbishop
mighty cathedral would raise,
That, reaching high into the heavens,
His greatness should silently praise.
The architect he had commissioned
Wrought many and many plan,
Dreamed long over that which should make him
Eternally known unto maD.
But, long though he patiently labored,
At last he was brought to despair;
No plan he could draw appeared worthy
OF projects vast and SO rare.
One night, as he sat by the river,
His head sadly leaned on his hand,
A demon approached from behind him
And rapidly drew in the sand.
A vision of marvellous beauty
Was sketched on that treacherous sand-S
wonder of columns and arches,
And steeples and minarets grand.
But line after line the scene vanished,
As fast as it ever had grown,
And back to the depths of his sorrow
The suffering artist was thrown.
On pafchment the demon then drew it,
Which snatching, the architect ran,
And, battling back his pursuer,
Triumphantly c,ung to the plan.
"Thy cunning shall profit thee nothing"
The demon thus terribly swore.
"And, though the design shall be finished,
Thy name shall be heard nevermore."
Long years had they toiled at that building,
When the architect mounted one day
High up on a tower, to chisel
His name where forever 'twould stay.
But suddenly down fell the scaffold,
Before the good work was begun;
The days of his life had been numbered-
The course Of his life had been run.
And, now that the labor is finished,
Nowhere in the world is it known
The name of the artist who fashioned
The beautiful church at Cologne.

The fact that the courthouse is three miles
from the jail, and it will be necessary to take
Guiteau into court, creates some anxiety as to
how he may be safely transferred. It is pro-
posed that Guiteau be locked in one Of the
Treasury Departments burglar-proof safes,
used in carrying bonds, etc., the key left at the
Jail, and duplicate key be held by the United
States Marshal, at the courthouse, with which
to unlock the safe. The safe en- route will be
guarded by mounted police. Much of the road
to be traversed is commons and sparcely settled,
and grave apprehensions for the prisoners
safety are entertained.

In the garb that was guiltless Of colon
She stood, with q dull, Hstless siz-
A creature Of dumps and Of dolors,
But most undeniably fair.
The folds of her garment fen round her,
Revealing the curves Of each limb;
Well-proportioned and graceful found her,
Although quite alarmingly slim.
From the hem of her robe peeped one SANDAL
"High art" was she down TO her feet;
And though could not understand all
She said could see she was sweet.
Impressed by her limpness and langour,
preffered chair near at hand;
She looked back mild sort Of anger
Posed anew, and continued to stand
Some praises next tried to mutter
OF the fan that she held to her lace;
She said 1t was utterly utter,
And waved 1t with languishing grace
/ then In q strain quite poetic,
Begged her gaze on the bow in the skys
She looked said its curve was aesthetic"
But the "tone was too dreadfully high"
Her lovely face Lit by the splendor
That giorifed landscape and sea,
Woke thoughts that were daring as tender:
Did her thoughts, too, rest upon me?
"Oh, tell me-" cried, growing bolder
Have in your musings placer
