Barnum Makes His Will.
THE GREAT SNOWMAN ApPoRTIoNs $l0,-
100000 OF PROPERTY IN ALB.
ERAL WAY.

p. 7. Barnum seems to consider his
life work accomplished in the obtaining
of the sacred white elephant from the
Burmese King, for he has Just made
his will. In order that there might
be no question as to his sanity upon
which to ground contests after his
death, he had eminent physicians ex-
anime him, and secured their attesta-
ton that he was of sound mind. The
will and its codicils cover more than
700 pages Of legal cap, closely written,
and dispose of real estate and personal
property of the value of $l0,OO0,O00 to
twenty-seven heirs. The property is
in New Y ork, Brooklyn, Bridgeport,
Colorado and several other places. Mr.
Barnum values his interestin the Barn
um and London shows at S3,5OO,OOO.
His bequests for charitable purposes are
numerous and large. Among the bene-
ticiaries are the Chaplin Home, Chill
dren's Aid Society, Old Mems and Wo-
mems and the Society to Assist Males
and Females over Eighteen Years of
Age, of this city; Bridgeport Orphan
Asylum, Bridgeport Hospital, and
other Bridgeport societies.
Mr. Barnum also makes provision for
certain worthy charities, by bequeath-
ing to them stated percentage of the
large annual profits accruing from his
share in the Barnum and London shows.
He authorizes his executors to renew
the partnership at present in effect
with Messrs. James A. Bailey and
james L. Hutchinson upon his expira-
ton, in 1899. To the city of Bridge
port he secures the only waterfront
not already seized by private corpora
tons, with dock upon it costing $780,
600, for twenty-one years after his
death, during which time his executors
are forbidden to sell or lease it, his OBJ
ject being, as the will recites, "to pre-
vent a monopoly of the freight and
passenger traffic by any one line of
steamers between New York and Bridge
port, and to preserve to Bridgeport
and others the advantage of reasonable
rates for freight and passage between
said cities

Social Etlquet.

While it is right and proper to ex-
press difference of opinion, it is exceed
ingly impolue to contradict Say what
you think quietly and pleasantly, argue
the question if you wish, but never
say fatty that what is said is not true.
l have heard young girls assert them
selves in this way, contradicting others,
often those older and wiser than them
selves, imagining the while that they
were showing superior intelligence,
when they were really rude and unlady
like. Very young men are often guilty
in this way, because they have not yet
learned that they do not know more
than the rest of the world. Older peo
pie, too, of the positive, excitable sort,
need to be reminded sometimes that
fiat contradiction is boorish. Never for
get that other people are quite as like
ly to be right as yourself, at least their
opinions are worthy Of respectful treat
ment. Remember also that positive
contradiction often savors off an accusa-
tion of falsehood, than which no grea-
ter insult can be offered.
Do not pride yourself on being "fat-
footed" an expression l have heard
used to describe brutal frankness.
Many times "silence is golden" where
unpleasant things are concerned, but if
it be necessary to speak be careful how
it is done. There is way and way
of uttering supposed truths. Be care
full that you choose THE way. have
heard people say to others in company
what was simply outrageous. Never
drag private affairs or personal matters
into the conversation, and never say
unpleasant things to any one that can
do no manner of good, but only stir up
unpleasant feelings.

Mileage of Members
REPRESENTATIVE MILLER TO INTRODUCE
A BILL FOR ITS ABOLITION.

Representative Miller. of Pennsyl-
vania, is member of the house com
mittee on mileage, and he is preparing
a bill which will agitate members who
resides at points remote from the
capital. Under the existing law
members receive twenty cents a mile
each way to the capital from their
homes and return every session of con-
gress. They are expected to journey
by the most usually travelled route. In
stead of making two bills, the member
receives, upon his arrival here at the
beginning of the session, an amount
equivalent to forty cents per mile for
the record trip from his home to Wash
ington and return.
The Pacific coast members receive
about $1,000 apiece in mileage alone,
and, as they are presumed to travel
with passes, the money goes far to-
wards paying winter board bills. The
largest sum ever received by men,
ber of congress was paid the delegation
from Washington territory, who, be-
fore the completion of the Northern
Pacific railroad, was obliged to travel
over land to Portland, Ore, thence by
steamer to San Francisco and over the
Union and Central Pacific railroads
cast. He received over LOO milea ge
each session.
Some of the members of congress
from far distant states have remained
in Washington during the entire sum
lner recess, and at the beginning of g
new session drawn mileage for tn,
entire distance from their homes TO thu
capital. Mr. Miller proposes to intro.
duce a bill abolishing mileage and al
lowing members to charge their actua
travelling expenses simply.

The County Newspaper.

The Philadelphia Times never said
anything more significant than the fol-
lowing in regard to the local newspa-
per "The New Year is good time
to consider the generally overlooked
claims OF the local newspaper. 1t is
the most useful and least compensated
and appreciated of all the agencies
which stamp the impress of progress
upon villages and inland cities. With
out the local newspaper local towns
are, as a rule, thriftless and tend to de-
cay.
1t is common for small great men to
speak with contempt of the local news
paper. In that they initiate greater
men in speaking of greater journals
which offended them by manly criti-
cism; but the village newspaper makes
more great men out of less material
more bricks without straw-than any
otherfactor in politics, and it is the one
ladder on which men climb TO local dis
tinction as the beginning of wider
fame
The local journals of Pennsylvania
have progressed in typographical ele-
gance, in editorial power and fresh
ness and completeness OF local and
general news even more than the city
journals during the last score of years.
Local weeklies have extended from
the county towns into most of the
thrifty villages, and the local newspa-
per has always dated the increased
thrift of the community. The local
newspaper is the life of its locality,
and the measure of its support, as a
rule measures the advancement of the
people. Begin the new year by not
only subscribing but paying for your
local papers. They are the friends and
helpmates of all seasons"

SENATOR DWIGHT N. sAslT.
OFFICIAL HEAD,OFTHE REPUB-
LICAN NATIONAL COMMIT
TEE.
AND A TALKED OF CANDIDATE FOR THE
PRESIDENCY.

Dwight May Sabin came into this
world April 25, 1S43, at Manlius, La
sale county, Illinois, and not in Con-
necticut as many papers have stated.
His father was farmer on a large
scale in Illinois when Dwight was born.
and the son grew up on the farm, a
hard worker during the crop seasons
and close student at the country school
during the winter months. He was
not satisfied with the range of studies
taught, and devoted his evenings at
home to the mystery of the higher
branches of mathematics, and civil en-
gineering. After his fathers death, the
son located in Saltwater Minnesota, in
1867, he then being about 25 years of
age. He began dealing in lumber on a
limited scale and capital, butso success
ful was the venture that his business
gradually increased and grew to large
prporions, so that at the present time,
after fifteen years, he is doing bust
ness of over $l0,OOO,O0O annually.
Besides being the owner of large
number of mills in the pineries, he is
the heaviest stockholder in the North
western Car Company of his State,
and enjoys an annual income from the
profits of his various enterprises of
nearly $2,5OO,OOO.
MIR. Sabin in early life became iden-
tilted with politics in Minnesota, and
was elected a representative three terms
in the State legislature, and two terms
to the State Senate.
He has been for several years a men,
Der of the Republican National Com
mittee for Minnesota, and was dele

18th 1888, by unanimous vote, and
since that honor has been conferred,
Mr.. Sabin's availability as a candidate
for the nomination for the Presidency
at the Convention in Chicago next
June is being advocated by a large
number of papers.

Why January l is Called New Year.

Every one knows that January l is
the beginning of the year,but not every
one knows why it is SO. 1t marks no
natural division of time nor any event
in the worlds history which would
give it such distinction. The winter
solstice-that is, the period when the
sun appears to reach its greatest south
ern declension, or furthest point south
of the equator, occurs December %,
nine days before the new year begins.
The summr solstice, another natural
division of time, occurs on June %, a
point nearly as far removed from the
new year as the calendar permits. The
natural divisions of time which sug-
gest themselves at once to the practical
observer are the winter and summer
solstices and the vernal and autumnal
equinoxes, periods at which the days
and nights have equal length or their
greatest difference. These having been
neglected, the moons phases would
seem to have been most likely to be
fixed upon. But imperia Caesar, who
in 46 b. G. gave us the new year, gov
erned by caprice or reasons of the most
temporary duration, departed from the
former Roman system of reckoning the
year from the winter solstice and made
the commencement on January l for
no better reason than the desire to in
augurate his reform with new moon.
The Caesarean system, devised by
the aid of Losigenes, constituted the
ordinary year of 365 days and the
fourth or extraordinary year of 366.
The subdivision of the year into months
was similar to the present system. This
division of time, though imperfect, is
still practiced in Russia. Tie error
was in giving the year 365 IA days,
which is too much by about eleven
minutes. Pope Gregory XIII ordered
October 5, 1882, to be called the 18th,
and that all centurial years which are
not multiples of 400 should not be
leap years, which omission of thret
leap years in every 400 years gives the
civil year an average length of 36i
days, s hours, 40 minutes and IL sec
onds, which still exceeds the true solar
year by fraction of a second, which
would amount to day only in 3,S6t
years The present, or Gregorian, sys
TEN is used by all Christendom, excep
Russia 1t was adopted by England
in 1852 and by France in 1864,
Prior to the reformation of the calen
dar by Julius Caesar, and many centu
rles afterward, the methods of dividing
time were various, complicated and i'm
perfect. The moon was the plane
which influenced and governed mos
nations, and gave rise to universal var
lance between the natural and civi
year, The religious feasts of the Chris
tian church are still regulated by tn
moon. The Council of Nice provide,
that Easter, the central point by whicl
all other days in the church calenda
are fixed, should fall on the first Sun
day after the first full moon occurring
on or after March 81. The compile
method of these lunar periods CORES

any system for the computation of tim

Unable to Support Herself,

"Why under the sun should l prac-
tice my music so much7" drawled an
over-dressed child one day. "Its well
enough for Cousin Mary she's to
teach music by-and-by, but mamma
says / never shall work for my living,
so it doesn't make any difference, and
l don't want to-"
This girl grew up to be vapid,
fashionable idler. She married
young man who was the son of
wealthy parents, and who had been
brought up to be as aimless and ineff-
cient as his helpless bride. There was
crash, both families lost their money,
the young husband fell into dissipa-
ton, died in short period from his
excess, and left his wife upon the
world with two little children to pro-
vide for.
Now she was sober, earnest, distract
ed, with a desire to know something
practical, but the time for acquiring
thorough training in special branch,
that will pay handsomely-was passed.
Her children, after suffering from
hardship and privation, were placed
among sympathiziug friends, the un-
happy mother found an asylum with
the "Cousin Mary" whom she had
once despised and who was now a
skillful and well-paid teacher of music,
and there she learned to utilize "pret-
ty talent" which she had somewhat
developed, for painting and embroid-
cry. But she never made enough mon
ey by this means to gather her family
together and keep them as she wanted
to do, nor even to entirely support her.
self. For few years she kept up an
unequal struggle. Then she succumbed
and died--a pensioner upon the bounty
of others.

POETICAL,.
AT LAST.
by JOHN @, WHITTIER,

when on my day of life the night Is falling,
And, in the winds from unsunned spaces blown
hear fair voices out OF darkness calling
My feet to paths unknown.
Thou who hast made my home OF life so pleasant,
Leave not It's tenant when It's walls decay
o Love divine, o Helper ever present, f.|.
BE Thou my strength and stay
Be near me when all else Is from me drifting,
Earth, sky, homes pictures, days OF shade and
shine,
And kindly faces TO my own uplifting
The love which answers mine.
have but Thee, Father Let thy spirit
BE with me then to comfort and uphold;
No gate OF pearl, no branch OF palm merit,
Nor street of shining gold.
suflce 1t if-my good and i'll unreckoned,
And both forgiven through the abounding grace
flnd myself by hands familiar beckoned
Unto my fttlngp place;
Some humble door among thy many mansions,
Some sheltering shade where sin and striving
cease,
And flows forever through heavens green
expansions
The river Of thy peace.
There, from the music round about me stealing
fain would learn the new and holy song,
And find, at last, beneath the trees of healing
The life for which long.
