MR.. WEED SAYS:

''Our committee took no part in
the third inquest, and the body, as
is known, was declared to be that of
Timothy Monroe, On the evening
of the day that the body was inferred
at Batavia it was declared to be that
of Timothy Monroe. I went into
the illiard room of the Eagle Hotel
to see friend from Clarkson. When
leaving the room, Ebenezer Griffin, a
prominent lawyer employed as coun
sci for the Masons, turned to me,
saying: well, Weed, what will
you do for a Morgan now? To
which replied: That is a good
enough Morgan for us till you
bring back the one you carried
off.
'sOn the following morning the
Daily Advertiser, Masonic organ,
contained a paragrap charging me
with having boosted that the body in
question was "a good enough Morgan

version went the rounds of the Ma

subjecting me to denunciation, in
speeches and resolutions, at political
meetings and conventions. I suf-
fered obloquy and reproach from
that wicked peryersion for nearly
half century. Indeed there is
reason to believe that even now,

MORGAN s ABDUCTION.

Whitney then related in detail the
history of Morgan's abduction and
fate. The idea of suppressing Nor
gan's intended exposure of the se-
crets of Masonry was first suggest
ed by man named Johns, who sug-
gested that Morgan be placed on a
farm in Canada West. For this pur.
pose he was taken to Niagara and
placed in the magazine of the fort
until arrangements for settling him
in Canada were completed. But the
Canadian Missions disappointed them
After several meetings the lodge in
Canada opposite Fort Niagara made
a refusal to have anything to dc
with Morgan, and left his kidnapers
greatly perplexed OPPORTUNITY,
the installment of a royal Arch
Chapter brought large number Of
enthusiastic Masons together. After
"labor," in Masonic language, they
retired to refreshments.
UNDER THE ExHILERATIoN OF CHAMPAIGN
and other viands, the Chaplain, Rev
f. III. Cummings, of Rochester, was
called on for a toast. Then be
responded with peculiar emphasis
and in the language of their ritual
"the enemies of our order; may they
find a grave six feet deep, six feet
long and six feet due east and west.
Immediately after the toast, which
was received with great enthusiasm
Col. William King, an officer of the
war of 1872, and then a member Of
the Assembly from Niagara County
called Whitney, of Rochester, How
ard, of Buffalo, Chubbuck, of Lewis
ton, and Garside, Canada, out of the
room, and in a carriage, furnished
by Maj. Barton, they were driven to
Fort Niagara, repaired to the maya
zine and informed Morgan that the
arrangements for sending him to
Canada were complete, and that his
family would soon follow him Nor
gan received tie information cheer
fully, and walked with his supposed
friends to the boat, which was roweG
to the mouth of the river, where {
rope was wound around his body
to each end of which a sinker was
attached Morgan was then
THROWN OVERHEARD.
He grasped the gunwhale of the boa
conyulsively. Garside, in forcing
Morgan to relinquish his hold, wal
severely bitten.
Whitney, in concluding the narra'
tive, said he was now relieved from
a heavy load that for four years b.
had not heard a window rustic Of
any other noise at night without
thinking the sheriff was after him

Rahind the Times,

A gentleman was driving about Lam
caster, Pa, the other day, with friend
from Altoona, showing him the places
of interest, and, among others, pointed
out Wheatland, saying it was the home
of James Buchanan. who's James
Buchanan?' queried the Altoona gentle
man. Shocked beyond measure at the
question, the other replied: ''Why, is
it possible you never heard that he was
at one time president of the United
States?'' '.Oh, yes; l had forgotten"
responded the gentleman from the
mountain district, whats he doing
now?"
There was once gentleman who be-
came known to - limited fame because,
after living in Boston for eight years
and occupying an Office within five
minutes walk of Faneuil hall during
most of that period, he pleaded ignor-
ance when a stranger asked hlm where
the immortal edifce was, and confessed
that he had never seen it.

The number of men who died in Cali
fornia in what may be called the prime
of their years occasionally arrests at
tention. The proposition of these sud
den deaths appears to be large. They
occur not among men born on the soil,
but among those who have been trans
planted, and have been subjected to the
varying condition of poverty and atflu-
ence II is not climate that kills them,
since the climate is favorable to longev-
ity. Native Californians live to an eX-
treme old age. The centenarians are
numerous But these men have lived
out of doors nearly all their lives. They
have lived on simple food; have been on
horseback great deal. Indeed, the
native Californian never rides if he can
get mustang to carry him. He lives
out of doors, never dies of apoplexy OF
heart disease, but generally of old age.
The majority of those who emigrato do
not seem to reach extreme old age. The
pioneers drop off early. They have had
checkered lives for the most part. Ups
and downs kill great many people.
The excitement is not good for them. 1t
is neither good on the score of longevity
to meet with sudden losses nor to make
fortunes rapidly. The exceptions are
those where great equanimity of temper
has been preserved. Quakers general
5ly have great longevity. They not only
are temperate, but they are not subject
to great excitements. The serene life is
the one most favorable to longevity.

The Evesight of Readers.

A writer calls attention to the danger
which readers run of injuring their eye
sight by the use Of n bad light, He re-
marks, that engravers, watchmakers,
and all others who use their eyes con-
stantly in their work, take extra care to
preserve them by getting the best posi-
BILE light by day, and using the best ar
tifcial light by night. The great army
of readers are careless, and have, sooner
or later, to pay the penalty Of their care
lessness, by giving up night work entire
", and sometimes reading, except at
short intervals, and under the best con-
ditions. All departures from common
type, making the matter more difficult
for the eyes to take in, increase the
danger. The magnitude of the physical
labor of reading is not appreciated. A
book of five hundred pages, forty lines
to the page, and fifty letters to the line,
contains one million letters, all of which
the eye has to take in, identify and COM
bine each with it's neighbor. Yet many
reader will go through such q book in
day The task is one he would shrink
from if he stopped to measure it before
hand. The best positions and best lights,
clear type, plain inks, with the best pa
per with yellowish tints, and abundance
of space between the lines, afford the
best safeguards against harm.

The --latest John Brown and Queen Vic
toria Story.

A great many stories got afOat from
time to time, of which Victoria's SER
want, John Brown, is either the hero or
the subject. No doubt most of them
are indebted to whole piece of cloth
for their manufacture, though now and
then an authentic one gets out. [ can
tell you one about him that is in a
measure apropOs of the subject Just re-
ferred to, and also combines the virtues
of recent occurrence as to its incidents,
and undoubted authority as to its re-
cital, my informant of the facts being
none other than one of the Queens
equerries. Prince Frederick Augustus
of Schleswig Holstein, the elderly Ger
man who some years ago married the
Queens third daughter, the Princess
Helena, holds the position of Ranger of
Windsor Park. The office is of course
sinecure, fat income, and fine res
idence in Windsor Park (called Frog
more) being given the incumbent for
doing nothing 1t seems that during the
Ascot races, when the neighborhOod of
Windsor was thronged with the elite,
the German prince was desirOus of Civ
ing q garden party. His house being
within the limits'of a royal desmesne, it
became his duty, in accordance with
the sovereign's prerogative, to submit
the list of his intended guests to tho
Queen for her approval before an invi-
tation could be issued. Her Majesty,
who, where her rights are concerned, is
more exact and precise about small OBJ
seryances than many people suppose,
read over the list with care Then she
sent for the prince, and told him that it
had her appreciation with but one ex-
ception. Ii did not include the name of
John Brown. She desired that he should
be invited. The prince said nothing,
but bowed low and took his leave On
the appointed day the party came off,
and Mr.. Brown was there; but he was
the only guest. The prince had obeyod
the royal command, but had invited no
one else. The Queen heard of it, of
course, but thought it wiser to say moth
ing. The recent appointment, how
ever, of the Duke of Teck as her special
parliamentary reporter in place of the
prince might possibly indicate a desire
to show her displeasure.-LoiadOss Cor

Can man reach and pass the age of
one hundred years? says the Popular
Science Monthly. is a question concern
ing which psychologists have different
opinions. Button was the first one in
France to raise the question of the eX-
treme limit of human life. In his opin
ion man, becoming adult at sixteen,
ought to live six times that age, or to
nincty-six years. Having been called
upon to account for the phenomenal
ages attributed by the Bible to patri
archs, he risks the following as an ex-
plination: .'Before the flood the earth
was less solid, less compact than it is
now. The law of gravitation had acted
for only a little time; the productions of
the globe had less consistency, and the
body of man, being more supple, was
moro susceptible of extension. Being
able to grow for longer time, it should
in consequence live for q longer time
than now"
The German Heusler has suggested
on the same point that the ancients did
not divide time as we do. Previous to
the age of Abraham, the year, among
some people of the East was only three
months, or a season; so that they had q
year of spring, one of summer, one of
fall, and one of winter The year was
extended SO as to consist of eight months
after Abraham. and of twelve months
after Joseph. Voltaire rejected the
longevity assigned to the patriarchs of
the Bible, but accepted without question
the stories of the great ages attained by
some men in India, where he says: 'It
is not rare to see men of one hundred
and twenty years" The eminent French
physiologist, Flourens, fixing the COM
plete development of man at twenty
years, teaches that he should live four
times as long as it takes him to become
an adult. According to this author, the
moment of complete development may
be recognized by the fact of the junction
of the bones with their apophysis. This
junction takes place in horses at FIVE
years, and the horse does not live be-
yond twenty-five years; with the OK at
four years, and it does not live beyond
twenty years; with the cat at eighteen
months, and that animal rarely lives
over ten years. When it is effected at
twenty years, he only exceptionally lives
beyond one hundred years. The same
Psychologist admits, however, that hui
man life may beexceptionally prolonged
under certain conditions of comfort,
sobriety, freedom from care, regularity
of habits, and observance of the rules
of hygeine; and he terminates his study
of the last point with the aphorism:
''Man kills himself rather than dies"
