Mankind,s Mistakes,

1t is a mistake to labor when you
know you are not in fit condition to
do so.
To sleep exposed to direct draught in
any season.
To conclude that the smallest room in
the house is large enough to sleep in.
To think the more a person eats the
healthier and stronger he will become.
To take off proper clothing out of
season, simply because you have become
heated.
TO imagine that # little work or ex-
ercise is good, violent or prolonged exer-
else is better.
To go to bed at midnight and arise at
day-break and imagine that every hour
taken from sleep is an hour gained.
To believe that children can do as
much work as grown people, and that
the more hours they study the more they
learn.
To eat as if you only had minute to
finish the meal in, or to eat without an
appetite, or to continue after it has been
satisfied, merely 10 satisfy the taste.
To imagine that whatever remedy
causes one to feel Immediately better las

tenn, without regard to the Interior effects

WHO is TO BLAME!
Is the State 70 be SwindIed by
Having Inferior Work
PaImed orr on 1T!

There is something radically wrong in
the construction of the temporary CAPT
toll, and the STATESMAN proposes to fix the
blame where it properly belongs. The
building is only completed to the second
story, and there are already two cracks
in the main walls and five in the window
stills of the first story. This re-
suits either from defective foundation
or from bad workmanship and material
The question now is where does the blame
rest The law passed at the special ses-
sion of the seventeenth legislature placed
the entire control of the matter in the
hands of the capitol board, consisting of
the governor, comptroller, treasurer, at
torney and commissioner of the general
land office. After the foundation was
laid and the walls were up few feet, the
supervision of the building was placed,
by resolution of the capitol board. in the
hands of Judge Lee ard Colonel Norton,
commissioners, and Mr.. Duhamel, super
visiDg arthitect of the new capitol. The
contractor claims that the fOun-
dation was examined and pronounced
sufficient by the capitol board, and he
also claims that the commissioners and
the supervising architect are fully cOgni-
zant of the cracks and other defects in
the building. If this be true it shows
great negligence somewhere, and the
matter should be Investigated at once.
The material that is now being put into
the building by the contractor is certain
ly very inferior, and steps should be Ia
ken by the proper parties to correct the
matter. and to remedy what has been
done. The building is intended to be
three stories high, but it will hardly
stand another story when it is giving way
already.
The commissioners and architect con-
sented to look after this business for the
capitol board. They are paid well by
the state and should give the matter at
tention at once.

ssTHE STAYOUTS,,

CoHoEs, N. Y. August 11.-As a
result of the mass meeting of the
executive committee of the Har-
mony "stayouts," they claim a de-
crease of twenty-three in the work
ing force of weavers and the promise
OF more to quit work to-day. A de-
cisive struggle will be made on Mon
day. If the force out at work is in
creased to any material number the
ranks of the strikers will be broken.
contributions are now being re-
celved from the trades assembly, the
Judicious use of which inspires the
strikers to prolong the strike. The
weavers in the big mill all failed to
report Tor duty and tile wheel was
not started. The operatives in the
Ogden mills have been reduced to
three. The actual force now at work
Is: No: 8 mill, 2S5 mo. 2, 50; No. 1, %.

A Celebrated wall street MIL
lIOnaire.

lSummer Brochure OF Wall street,
Why has Mr.. Keene such an aver
sion to sitting for his photograph I?
Let us attempt a pen picture. Of a
1.-THE and agile figure and rather
under the medium height, there is
an air of intellectual force about the
Tycoon that at once commands re-
spect. The dark, strong features are
of Gothic mould and well express
energy in repose, while the well-cut
beard and twisted mustache impart
the picturesque look of a Spanish
cavalier standing forth from the
canvas of Velasquez and Madrazo.
Deep, penetrating are the dark
eyes beneath the finely arched
brow, and arabesque the curve
of the spirited nose. When aroused
there is the passionate flame OF the
Spanish Hidalgoes in his eyes, and
when his heart is touched through
his intellect light at once tender
and ardent beam in them. The
Tycoon is a paradox-a sphinx. A
strange mixture of indomitable reso-
luton, bitter, vehement denuncia-
ton, gentle refinement and prIncely
consideration. But it is in the dark
gray eye that all the character of the
man comes forth a searching glance,
not soft, but ardent, acute, inpe-
rious, incapable of deception or of
being deceived. The tones of his
voice are no less penetrating than
/ the glance of his eyes.

Shooting Stars.

For the past three nights meteoric dis
turbances have been observed. The mat
ter is thus explained by the Scientific
american: ION the nights of the 9th,
10Th and 18th there will be displays of
celestial fireworks that never fail in their
exhibition. The earth then plunges
through the broad domains of an cratic
member of the system known as the Au-
gust meteorZone. This zone is a gigan-
tic elipse or hoop, whose perihelion
point reaches far beyond the orbit of
Neptune 1t is mysteriOusly associated,
as Schiaparelli discovered, with the
second comet of 1862, or has been gradu-
ally formed from its substance. The
meteors are now distributed through
every portion of the vast ring, though
somewhat unequally. Therefore, every
year, when about the 10th of August the
earth crosses this zone, there is shower
of meteors, more or less abundant, ac-
cording to the density of the cOsmical
cloud

ROMANCE IN REAL LIFE.
Strange RevuIsion i'm a Wifo,s
Affections Drives a Husband in
TO Exile.

lou. LOUIS hepuDlcan.
At Columbus, Indiana, a sad and
romantic affair has just eliminated
that will set the tongues of gossips
wagging. Mrs. Jennie Council was
handsome and wealthy young
widow, who bad many friends and
admirers. For several months past
she has been in Iowa, and while
there was married to Mr.. William
Griffin, former acquaintance. Last
Friday they returned to the luxuri-
Gus home of the bride in this city.
The first object that met her gaze on
entering the parlor was a life-size
portrait of her former husband.
The sight of the familiar and loved
features almost overceme her, and
all of the familiar surroundings so
wrought upon her as to cause a
complete revulsion of feeling
toward her new husband.
After brooding over her
trouble for day or two she con-
fessed all TO her husband, but de-
clared she never could love him, and
besought him tor the sake of both to
leave her. She persisted in this re-
quest until an attorney was called
in, who drew up a statement,
in which each exhonorated the
other from all wrong doing, but
stated that their marriage was rash
mistake, and mutually agreed to
separate, and each grant a divorce
when the law would permit.
Mr.. Griffin is a stranger to most
persons here hut ia n man of very
fine personal appearance, and seems
to be perfect gentleman. After
vainly pleading with his wife to
change her mind, he agreed to the
above arrangement, and will leave
in the morning, apparently broken
hearted, as he remarked to your cor
respondent, to again become a wan
derer.

Some time ago state fish commissioner
Robertson sent to the national commits
sioner at Washington a specimen of
Texas bred carp and also of the native
Gaspergou. Mr.. Robertson Yesterday
received letter from the commissioner,
in which the latter says the Texas bred
carp of nine months growth is larger than
carp of fifteen months growth in the
government fish ponds at Washington
Mr.. Robertson asked the commissioner
to determine definitely the species of the
Gaspcrgou. The replyis that it is of the
dnl5lOdOn grGunienS, popularity known as
Lake Sheephead, Thunder bumpers,
Gaspergou and Jewel Heads, the latter
name probably arising from the two
transparent stones on the fish's head.
MIR. Robertson says the state fish ponds
are full of carp and shad, and that their
culture here is in every way satisfactory
and successful.
