FEHSIEIs' S1R.IV HAT.

At Webster dinner of the Dartmouth
alumni, in Boston, Marshall P. Wilder
exhibited the veritable straw hat worn
by Webster when working on his Marsh
field farm. In speaking Of Webster's
remarkable control of his feelings, MIR.
Wilder said that when he called upon
the Massachusetts, statesman the morn
ing after Gen. Scott's nomination he
found him serene and placid as sum-
mer sea. Mr.. Wilder and Judge
Nesmith began to express their regrets
that he did not receive the nomination,
as was expected; but as often as the
subject was adverted to he would avoid
it, till, finally, when Mr.. Wilder intro
duced it, Mr.. Webster, with a smile,
said: ."How does guano work on your
potatoes?' n.... -a.'

REPORTERS.

David A. Curtis in q recent lecture
says: It was q long time since James
Gordon Bennett was still alive, and so
was Horace Greeley, but both were old
men, if silvered heads and boards make
age. A. A. Low, the then President of
the New York Chamber of Commerce,
had returned from nh European tour. A
great complimentary banquet was given
Mr.. Low at the Fifth Avenue Hotel.
His Honor, the Mayor, was there; so
was Judge Brady; in fact, NIL tie big
guns of the bar, and all tho famous edi..
tors, except the elder Bennett, who
never went to dinners. After all the
magnates were seated, the reporters
/ were admitted-there were fourteen of
them-and were taken to long table
which was not set for q dinner, though
admirably adapted for writing purposes.
The walters trooped i'll with the viands
but ignored the reporters, WHO bore the
slight until the course had been served
then, by mutual agreement, they arose
and traulped silently out OF the banquet
hall in Indian file. Horace Greelye,
Manton Marble, Jones, of the Times;
Brady, OF the Mail; and Brooks, of the
Express, saw the departure. Mr..
Greeley laughed and said 1.-The boys
arc serving 'em just right" The guest
of the evening looked on in dismay; he
was primed with a long speech that no
wanted well reported.
After an absence of two hours the re-
porters returned from the bar-room OF
the hotel, where they had whiled away
the time in sampling the ice-watel, and
perhaps something stronger. No soon-
er had they got back to their table than
walters we're sen: TO them with wine and
cigars. Both were Indignantly rejected.
"We are here to work, Lot to drink and
smoke" said tho fourteen in chorus.
The Chairman of tho Committee Of
Arrangements came to apologize; he
was heard in grim silence. He said a
special dinner should be provided.
"We are here to work, not to eat din
ner," answered the fourteen. To work
apparently they went; pencils flew over
paper; the speakers glanced nery ous!y
at the writer's they seemed to suspect
their diligence, perhaps they thought it
was not deserved at all.
Next morning confirmed their sus-
picions. The Iribu'ae had no reference
whatever to the dinner the Herald
had twenty lines the World apologized
that the Low dinner WAS crowded out !;
in the Times there was o stickful dic.
tated by tn. editor, who smclt mouse
and hurried to the office from the dinner
to find not line OF it, just as he had OK.
pected.
All the reporters were severely repri-
manded by theiz chiefs; one of them
him OF the Lle-aid-Iost his place, for
the elder Bennett; was mercless mas.
ter he dismissed men for the veriest
trihes, but his shrewd managing editor
engaged all the valuable ones as fast
as they were discharged by the inexora-
bic proprietor, wlo, i'll the last decade
of his active life, did not know his en-
ployes, with perhaps five exceptions, by
sight.
From that distant day to this the
reporters have not been snubbed at any
of the grand public dinners given in
New York.

THE BEDROOM.

The room in which the enfeebled per-
son has been sitting before going to
bed has been warmed, probably, up to
summer heat; light meal has been
taken before retiring to rest, and then
the bedroom is entered. The bed
room, perchance, has no fire in it; or,
if fire is lighted, provision is not made
to keep it alight for more than au hour
or two. The result is that in the early
part of the morning, from 8 to 4 o'clock,
when the temperature in all parts is
lowest, the glow from the fire Or stove
which should warm the room has
ceased, and the room is cold to an ex-
treme degree. In country houses the
water will often be found frozen in the
hand basins or ewers under these con-
ditions. Meanwhile the sleeper lies u1l-
conscious of the great change which is
taking place in the air around him.
Slowly and surely there is a decline of
temperature to the extent, it may be, OF
80 or 40 degrees on the Fahrenheit
scale, and though he may be fairly COW
cred with bed clothes he is receiving in
to his lungs this cold air by which the
circulation through the lungs is ma
terially modified. The condition of the
body itself is at this very time unfavora'
bic for meeting any emergency. In the
period between midnight and o'clock
in the morning the animal vital pro-
cesses are at their lowest ebb. It is in
these times that those who are enfeebled
from any cause most frequently die.
We physicians consider these hours as
critical, and forewarn anxious friends in
respect to them. From time immemor-
ial those who have been accustomed to
wait and attend on the sick have noted
these hours most anxiously, so that they
have been called by one of our old
writer's "the hours of fate." In this
space of time the influence of the life
giving sun has been longest withdrawn
from man, and the hearts that are even
the strongest beat then with subdued
tone. Sleep is heaviest and death is
nearest to us all in "the hours of fate" {"
The feeble, therefore, are most exposed
to danger during this period of time,
and they are most exposed to one par
ticular danger, that of congestion of the
lungs, for it is the bronchial surface of
the lungs that is most exposed to the
action of the chilled air, and in the aged
that exposure is hazardous.-Dr. B. W.
Richardson, in Good Words.

WHERE THEY HID HIM.

About twenty years ago certain lo,
calities in Michigan were frightened
half to death about smallpox, and sew
eral towns had stringent regulations re-
garding vaccination. In one village in
Macomb county the duty OF bringing in
delinquents was intrusted to constable
named Simmonds. He worked with
great energy, and at last he had every
body In except an old chap named
Williams, who sternly refused to come
forward. The constable laid for him,
however, brought him prisoner to the
doctors office, and ordered him to
"peel" his arm and make ready. 1t
was then discovered that he had once
~restled with smallpox, and, of course,
vaccination was not necessary. Tho
constable was all broke up for minute
and Williams was chuckling with salts
faction, when the officer suddenly
asked: 81 JAS ~s.

MOTHER sHIPToN.

It seems very difficult to get even the
very simple story of Mother Symptoms 60
called prophecy right. Thus, at this late
day, we find the Bulletin observing that
"Mother Symptoms doggerel, The world
"s unto an end will come, in eighteen hum
"' bred and eighty-one, was written sew
"eral centuries ago, nobody exactly
"knows when" Now it happens that the
"exact when" of this prediction is
very precisely known. II the first place
it was not written by Mother Shipton at
all. The prophesies ascribed to the latter,
and which date from the period of the
Wars OF the Roses, contain no such specific
and Ineligible statements, but are filed
with vague and enigmatical stuff such as
Nostradamus used to write. The couplet
which has been SO much quoted during the
last two years was the invention of one
Charles Hindley, of Brighton, England,
and was put forth by him in 1865 as a
mild hoax upon some antiquarian friends.
Mr.. Hindley long ago confessed to the
authorship of the lines, however, and his
acknowledgment ought to give the ghost
of Mother Shipton final release from the
batting to which it has been subjected.

poses to exhibit the body of Guiteau after
his execution, the Government can and
ought to prevent the indecency. 1t is not
obliged to surrender the body to the rela-
tivea of the deceased, but may take charge
of and bury it where it pleases. Under
the circumstances it would be advisable
that the remains of Guiteau should be ere.
mated, however, since if he was merely
buried there would for long time be SEN
sational talk about stealing the corpse for
exhibition purposes. The shortest way out
of any such difficulty is to burn the body
to ashes, and dispense the ashes completely.
1t will then puzzle even Yankee to make
show of the wretch in any way.

A REMARKABLE GUN.-In the late war
between Chile and Peru a curious accident
befell an S.inch Armstrong gun on board
the Chilean warship Angamos. The last
time it was fred the gun which was on
deck slipped out of the trunnion ring, flew
backwards across the ship, and leaped into
the sea. This was the singular end of
rather remarkable history. The gun was
supplied to the Chileans before the war by
Sir William Armstrong; firm, and proved
formidable terror to Peru, The Anga-
mos was previously an Irish pig. boat, and
was acquired by Chile for the purpose of
carrying this one gun, which. standing off
at long ranges of 10000 yards or SO, she
could do with IMMUNITY. The Peruvians
at length sent out their feet of gunboats to
destroy their waspish antagonist, when the
other Chilean ships with their short rangers
came into action, aud drew off the gun
boats all but one, which was sent to engage
the Angamos at close quarters. The Arm
strong gun, however, sent shower of
shrapnel bullets on her decks, and the gun
boat retreated. As she was nearing port,
a pot shot from the S-inch gun, fred at long
range and high elevation, managed to hit
and sink her. The gun therefore did
plenty OF hard work and valuable service
before it finally gave way and was lost in
the sea

BLAINE AND ARTHUR.

just now there appears to be conflict
of veracity between ex-Secretary Blaine
and President Arthur. It is true that the
latter has not spoken directly, but unless
ne is misrepresented he has authorized
friend to say for him tkat he really never
saw the instructions sent to Prescott in
the Chile.Peru matter by Mr.. Blaine.
Now, Mr.. Blaine has very positively as
serted, not only that President Arthur saw
those instructions, but that he fully APP
proved them. To this, however, President
Arthur is understood as replying that while
he did see the original instructions, he
proposed certain changes in them which
Mr.. Blaine omitted to incorporate, and that
consequently he cannot be said to have
Endorsed what was actually sent to
Trescott. 1t is to be hoped that
this question will be cleared up
in more satisfactory way than
this. At present there is not enough
known to the country to enable it to COM
prehend President Arthurs apparent sud-
den change of views. For while il is clear
enough that he would have been wrong to
indorse Mr.. Blaine's view of the case, it
seems that at first he must have gone
very far towards such an Endorsement so
far, in fact, that his subsequent approval
of Secretary Frelinghuysen's policy is not
to be understood without further explana-
ton. Indeed at this moment the Presi-
dents defense appears to involve the very
serious charge against Mr.. Blaine that he
altered an important dispatch SO as to
change its scope and effect, after the Presi-
dent had agreed to quite another line of
action. Plainly the controversy cannot be
allowed to remain here, for neither the
President nor Mr.. Blaine can afford to
occupy the anomalous positions in which it
thus far places them.

VACCINATION.

Whenever smallpox appears in an epi.
demic form controversy arises over the
efficiency of vaccination. At such times
there is always a certain school which pro.
fesses to doubt the value of vaccination.
and which makes large use of statistics
showing what percentage of patients under
the disease had been vaccinated previously.
But all these statistics are fallacious. The
only fact requiring to be kept in mind is
that small-po has become very much less
virulent and fatal since vaccination was
introduced. Formerly it was disease
which killed twice out of three times
Now the deaths are not five per cent
of the cases. Again, it is impossible to
Judge from the number of persons who
have had the disease after vaccination
whether they had given vaccination fair
chance. They may have been impregnated
with inefficient vaccine virus or their
vaccination may have been outgrown.
These casesin short prove nothing whereas
1t Is an incontestable fact that vaccination
does protect thousands, and that it has
ameliorated the disease so as to take from
it almost all its terrors All sensible
people will continue to believe in VACCINE.

what frivolous objections may be urged
against it.
