The high intelligence of the Greeks enabled
them to win such marvellous victories over
uncivillzed nations, although they were
largely in the minority; but just
these glorious triumphs, fastened their
decline. The rich spoils which they carried
away from Africa and Asia, awaked In them
an insatiate desire for material enjoyment.
their ruling passion. But very
few OF their great men remained to
warn them OF their decline, and these were
pointed out as enemies Of liberty. So it hap
pened than an Aristides was banished from
his country, and Socrates, the gem of the
Greeks, was compelled to drink the cup; OF
poison, while "a Pesistates and an Alcibrades
by all the arts OF hypocricy robbed the people
OF their liberties. Again history informs us
that the soyereigns and monarchs OF modern
times did inaugura6e system OF physi.
cal culture in their countries. Why? To
make strong and healthy subjects to defend
their shaky and rotten thrones. and ask, Is
it not just as well for us as it is for the mon
archs, toaproduce able and vigorous citizens
of this republic to protect our liberties, our
institutions and our human rights.
And for that my friends we work and
labor. That is our object, and the great aim
and desire of all Turner's throughout the
world.
The Saint Paul Turn Verein fully appreci-
ate this difficult undertaking. Although
the results have not been, as yet, very great,
yet they have been satisfactory and encourag-
ing.
A long space of time has elapsed since

Many an encouraging word in behalf Of
truth and liberty fall from tha lips of the
members, many good act was proposed there
and afterwards carried into effect; many a
worthy and true man graduated from the
small group of Turner's, who for years worked
and labored together and became a useful
member of society. With the growth of st.

INVESTIGATING DISSERTATIONS,

AT the meeting OF Council on Tuesday
evening, Mr.. lIaberaeld, member Of the
Second Branch from the First ward objected
TO the approval OF a bill for tho salary u the
Assessors, certified to the Council by The
Clerk OF the Board Of Assessors, alleging Tint
be had frequently seen the Assessors OF, duty,
and noticed that one OF then. was absent.
Mr.. Baker demanded that he specjfy which
member OF the Board hs alluded 10, but No
declined to do 50. On motion OF Mr.. Arm.
strong mtlce OF three was appointed
TO investigate the justice Of the bill present.

Messrs. Armstrong, baker md lIaberileld.
The committee met last night, tho membcts
nii being present, aud the Assessors aud their
CLERK, Ny. Peterson, also appearing. Mr.
liabertield was the last to appenr, aud n spc.
ciai summons had to be sent for liim BIZ

Mr.. baker read The ordinance In reference
TO tho salary Of the Assessors, which provides
that they shal be paid 50 per day for every
my actually In service, and that the clerk
shall certify 10 Council the time spent by
each IN each month, Mr., Baker held lint
under this section NIL that Council could do
was to approve tho bills MS presented
and that the clerks returns could not be-
questioned. This point was oyerruled by
the chairman, Mr.. Armstrong. Mr.. llabef.
Held then said thu, the member Of tho Board
he referred to was Ral PHI Arklo. Mr.. Ankle
wanted TO know u Haberijeld Ind not seen
| the board out Oh some occasions when he
was present and other members absent, and
why ue hal not mentioned them, instead OF
singing hin, out. lie thought the whole
thing looked like u personal fling, aud he
thought the explanation was In jocular
remnrk he once made to lInbertleld, ut which
the latter had taken umbrago. This Mr..
llabcrheld denied. lie wanted 10 know Il
tho clerk OF the Board was under oath
which he was not the ordinance not rcouir.
Ing him to qualify. rgf
considerable informal discussion In which
all present took part, followed, and only re-.
ycaled thatlt was scarcely wise thing to do
to appoint an investigating committee with
no formal charges to investigate. Apparent.
" Mr.. llaberiicld's remark In Council was
made inconsiderately, and like tho man who
SAID the horse WINS sixteen feet high, he pro-
posed to stick to it Finally, however the
committee unanimously 10 recommend
the passage Of the bill, Mr.. lIaberfeld first
voting no, but changing his vote when he
found the majority voted against him.
Another thing revealed was that the ordi.
nance IN relation to the assessors wa, yery

Knowing that, at the time OF his retirement
from the business walks OF life, Uncle John

the serious defects in the building. Taking
our man by the arm the old gentleman ess
cortcd him to the south side OF the building,
and pointing to the bullying wall, said, ''You,
remember about year ago the wall wis con.
demned. and also that STOKE wall TINT holds
this big hill OF ground from slipping up
against Washington Hall. The building
was considered = unsafe and they
tried TO get the use OF the Capitol building,

been watching this wall every day, and It
grows worse and worse. Look at those plates
that hold the Orders that were put through;
see how they are bent See how those fo,ln.
dation stones have parted. Look ut these
cracks in the wall" and in rapid succession
the kad places were pointed out.

had. The present city building site would
command a good price; the sand of which
there is q large quantity, is the best in the
