I. the Matter OF Rest.

lJudge Blcckly, of the Supreme Court of
Georgia, having resigned, read the following
verses on the conclusion of his last opinion.
The verses may be found in Ga Ca, p. 452. I
Rest for my hand, and brow, and breast,
For fingers heart, and brain!
Rest In peace A long release
From labor and from pain:
Pain Of doubt, fatigue, despair
Pain of darkness everywhere,
And seeking light in vain.
Peace and restl Are they the best
For mortals here bel0w2
Is soft repose from work and woes
bliss for men 10 known
Bliss oft times is bliss of toll;
No bliss but this, from sun and soil,
Does God permit to grow.

whittier's Opinion of a "8oiled Dinner"

The old-tashioned New England beyer-
age, cider. was mentioned, and MIR. Whit
tier stated that he had once derived much
benefit when unwell, "when nothing tasted
good" from the use of cider Huntington
suggested that without cider we would not
have vinegar. SWELL" said Whittier, vim.

replied Huntington. "to eat on cabbage and
cucumbers." Neither Of which are FL TO

would be good idea to start prohi bition
party on these two articles. As for cab
in the house, you have got to burn your
house down to get rid of the smell; it is GER
tainly the most diabolicGl smell that ever
was ever invented" and Whittier, who was
sitting near the open stove CRATE, upon
the top of which he had de-
posted his tall hat, folded his hands and
laughed hearty silent laugh. "What do
you think of onions, Mr.. Whittier" asked
/. "Well," he replied, "onions are not quite
so bad, for you can get rid of the smell of
those in three or four days" Then" said
Huntington. "you would not approve of the
old-fashioned boiled dinner2" "No. /

generation is not so strong as the former.
It is owing to the way the parents lived,
eating so much pork aud potatoes. Our
last war showed that. The farmers were
not nearly so strong IS those recruited in

The Importance of leading Before Signing.

village in the Indre ct Loire, where quar-

port, w.-sten by himself, and containing the
following passage: 1--WE have no case OF
hydrophobia or madness to report, unless il
be that of the Mayor and corporation, who
are idiots and raviDg madmen." The
Mayor signed and stamped the document
without reading it, little dreaming that il
woulo be used as evidence against himself

Thunder and Lightning.

An amusing story is told of G. f. Cooke,
the actors explaining how be once spoiled
tie thunder. He was living with his
mother st Bsrwick-on-Tweed, when the
players announced Macbeth. Although ne
had no money, the little fellow was deter
mined to see the play. Hanging about the
stage-door. he slipped past its proper guar
dian. and finding bis way to the stage con
cealed himself in barrel which was placed
on the top of some sloping planks near the
wings, thinking that by peeripg ont he
would be able TO see and hesr the actors on
the boards. In the barrel he found loosely
chained 70 the side couple of csnnon-balls,
and whilo he was wondering what they
were for, the prompter's bell rang, the cur
tain assembled, and his mental question was
answered not altogether satisfactory. Mac
beth opens, as everybody knows, with
''thunder and lightning" and little Cooke
was in the barrel, which, when set in me-
ton, joined its rumbling to the shaking of
the sheet iron in iniia ion of heavens ar
tillery. The tragedisn was won't in after
life, when telling this story, to say that the
pounding he received before the barrel
reached the bottom of the slope would
never be erased from his memory, and in
after-lfe he seldom went on in the first
scene of Macbeth without remembering it.

The Danger of Using Arsenic for the Com
plexion.
London Lsncet.l

1t is necessary TO raise warning cry
against most mischievous statement which
has recently been circulated, and has al.
ready done harm, to the effect that 'sarsenic
in small doses is good for the complexion"
1t is not difficult to imagine the risks women
vail incur TO preserve or improve their
"good looks" No more ingenious device
for recommending drug can be hit upon
than that which the authors of this most
bsneful prescription of "arsenic for the CON-
plexion" have adopted. Suffice il 10 recall
the fact that for many years past chemists
and ssnitarians have been laboring TO dis
cover means of eliminating the srsenical
salts from the coloring matter of wall
papers and certsin dyes once largely used
for certain articles of clothing.
1t Is most unfortunate that this hopelessly
sntagonistic recommendation of arsenic TO
improve the complexion should have found

IERE S. BLACKS LETTER.

On Tuesday night the Constitution

at its new rooms, 81 West 9th street.

influence of independent citizens, with
out regard TO party, to uphold economi-

contemplated by the Constitution, and
to resist the corruptipg Influences which
OF late years have made such headway." p"
About 200 gentlemen were present at the
meeting. Ex-Gov. Cornell sent letter
of regret. Speeches were made by Pros
ident Tremain, Secretary Evans, the
Rev. Robert Collyer, Horace E. Deming,
George H. Yeamens, and others, and
Secretary Evans read letter from Judge
jeremiah s. Black, who was unable to be
present, aud who wrote:

thousands more of these unhappy people
are to be sent here, within a short time,
under the auspices of the British Gov

COMMENTING upon what might happen
If third party should appear, the n. Y.
Sun says: Politicians who are now skir-
mishing for third party for the Presi-
d.ntial contest have probably forgotten
the complexion of the present House OF
Representatives, which would elect a
President in case of a failure at the bal
lot box. In such contingency the vote
is taken by States, the majority OF a dele
CATION controlling the State. These
States ara Democratic: Alabama, Arkan-
sas, California, Connecticut, Delaware,
Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana,
Maryland, Michigan, Mississippi, Mis-
souri,, Nevada, New York, North Caro-

Texas, West Virginia and Wisconsin,

rado, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Mas

most noticeable fact in this record Is tina
the Democratic States include every par
