Improving His Memory.

When Thurlow Weed was quite
young man his comrades told
him that he was cut out for poll
tician, and he was inclined to be-
lieve them, but he realized to his
bitter regret that his memory was a
sieve. He could not remember
dates, names, faces and appoint
ments. Speaking Of the matter to
his wife, the hopeful little woman
told him that If he had no memory
he must make one. So every eve
ming he spent fifteen minutes trying
to recall the events OF the day. At
first he could remember very little,
but by degrees his memory improv-
ed. From that time for nearly fifty
years he made it practice every
night to tell his wife the history of
the day, the editorials he had writ
ten, the people he had seen, his
conversation with them, the letters
he had sent and received, his rides
and walks, In fact everything. Mr..
Weed found that this mental disci-
pline strengthened his memory un-
til it became phenomenal, and he
always recommended persons OF
weak memory to follow his exam
pie.

SObriety Among Railroad Men.

There is an enormously large
number OF laboring men who are
practically under bonds to absti-
nence. This is particularly true OF
railway employees. The situation
was well expressed by locomotive
engineer a few days since when he
said: "Things have come to the
pass that railway managers have
no use for a man addicted to liquor"
This is true in exact proportion to
the ability of the management.
The Pennsylvania rules are eX-
tremely arbitrary upon this point.
The Chicago & Northwestern gen.
eral superintendent, when he hears
that man is iudulging in drink.
sends for him, and talks TO him like
father. If he reforms, well if
not he IS discharged. Drinking
while off duty is forbidden on ac-
count of its after effects. The same
thing is true of the Missouri Pacific,
and, in fact, of about all roads. The
various "brotherhGods," such as
those OF the locomotive engineers,
firemen and conductors, discourage
drink by every means in their pow
er. An engineer discharged from
the brotherhood for intemperate
habits cannot get job upon any
railway in the country. 1t is to be
observed further that the restraint
exercised by these forces is brought
to bear upon peculiarly restless
and energetic class, who, without
it, would be among the first to yield.

Johnnie wrote: mother, i think

through you"
When Jerry, who had remained
faithful, as always, had listened to
his brothers, he put his arm around
her. saying tenderly: "There will
never be any one like mother to
me-"
She died at So, very suddenly.
Only a few hours before she had
exclaimed, as her children all came
home together:
'fThere were never such good
boys as mine. You have repaid me
a thousand fold. God grant you all
happy homes"
They bore her coffin to the grave
themselves. They would not let
any other person touch it. In the
evening they gathered around the
old hearthstone in the sitting-room,
aud drew their chairs together. No
one spoke until Nate said: "Boys,
let us pray"
And then, all kneeling around
the vacant chair, he prayed that the
mantle OF their mother might fall
on them. They could ask no more
than that.

A WANT SUPPLIED.
A True Story of the War.


Agnes Repplier, in Lippincotts Magazine.
"Too Strange Not to BE True"
wrote Lady Fullerton, when she
desired title for her novel which
should distinctly express her ideas
ON the subject of improbability.
"Too Absurd Not to Have Happen
\ ed'' might be the watchword OF the
\ humorist, who knows very well
that the incongruities Of daily life
are far more remarkable than any
thing he is likely TO invent. / used
to think that Cornelius O'Dowd's
story OF the enthusiastic old lady
who sent an enormous pin-cushion
to Garibaldi in prison was delight
full piece OF nonsense that must have
emanated straight from the writer's
brain. / dare say now that she
really did send it and pair of silk
covered toilet bottles to match.
Some time ago l CHANGED in con-
versation to a1lude to one OF the
charities practiced during the civil
war by Il few ladies in Philadelphia,
who were in the habit of sending
food and clothing TO the Southern
prisoners at Fort Delaware. Those
were days when the most simple
necessaries of life had risen to an
enormous value, and the shoes
stockings and fiannels, to say moth
ing of tobacco, pickles and jellies,
ali cost more than was pleasant to
contemplate. Thanks TO the un-
failing courtesy and kindness of the
federal officers, though sent by
southern sympathiZers, were always
safely delivered to the sick and
wounded prisoners, who watched
for them with grateful eagerness
that well repaid the trouble and
cost. Speaking OF these things, a
lady who had listened with great |
attention now claimed for herself a |
similar work OF mercy.
"But we used to send our boxes |
to our own soldiers at Libby Pris- |
on" she said, with gentle assump-
tion OF superior patriotism that i
could not sufficiently admire, though |
whether 1t had ever been
worth their while to risk their
goods on such a perilous and uncer-
tain journey. "Why, 1 remember"
she went on, chow we used to spend
hours and hours making pocket pin
cushions"
"Pocket pIn-cushions ?" 1 repeat
ed sanity.
"Yes," she said, with tender and
truly feminine sympathy for dis
tress. "The poor fellows had not
even a place To- put their pins"
answered nothing. Garibaldi
and his tribute melted into insignif-
icance before this thoughtful chari-
ty. Those who recollect the condi-
ton of our captured soldiers, the
and ragged enemy-those
who remember them when released,
who heard their statements, or who
even saw the highly sensational
that circulated freely
through the eountry-can perhaps
appreciate the grilnness of the joke
fit for the pages OF "Death's Jest
these fevered, desper-
ate. dying men "had no place to put
their pins"

THE Missouri Pacific has an off,
Ger who is In charge of IA queer de-
partment, says the Railway Regis
ter. He looks alter those people
who wish their friends transported
from one point to another and yet
are afraid to trust them with mon
ey. For instance, a dIsslpated man
is stranded in Texas. His friends
in the East are willing to pay his
way back, but don't want to send
him any funds for fear that he will
squander them in such case the
money Is paid to the company, ard
this agent looks after the matter
and the conductors alone handle
the tickets. So with sick people
who are without money, the com
pany receives pay from their
friends and brings them home.
Children are also cared for and
transported long distances. 1t is
surprising to learn how often the
services of this official is required,
and he Is kept busy all the time IN
answering inquiries and perfecting
arrangements.
The advantages are obvious. A
person Is at one end OF the country,
say in Texas, penniless or untrust-
worthy. His family in Boston go to
the agent of the Missouri Pacific and
there pay in advance enough TO
cover the cost of a ticket, meals
and berth In sleeping car. The
receipt OF the money Is reported by
telegram to the home Office and the
distant wanderer Is returned to his
friends in safety.

HENRY CLAY.
The Great COmmoner's Farewell 10 the
United States Senate.
Boston Budget.

| Henry Claws farewell to the Senate,
on the 31st OF March, 1S42, attracted a
large crowd, and every available place
was occup ed, the ladies having not
only filed their gallery, but invaded
the floor. When Mr. Clay rose between
! and 2 o'clock to make his farewell
speech in the chamber which he had
entered nearly thirty six years before,
all eyes were upon him. Senators of
all parties took their seats and gave the
most respectful attention. Members
from the House fiocked in and occu-
pied the priviledged seats round about
the chamber. Then came the address,
for it was more of an address than a
speech, the report of which was only
the body of beautiful Grafton with
out the soul. The picture presented
in such congregation of people was
not only fair enough in all its proper
tions to charm the eye, but it was
scene which might have given either
in the sympathy created or in the
pride excited, feeling but little less
than one inspired The ladies, who
were all hope and buoyaney moment
before, were now "like Niobe, all
tears" Mr. Clay, in speaking OF him
self, of his friends, of the noble state /!
of Kentucky, where he had been re-
ceived as a son forty-fve years before,
was himself quite unnamed. Others
were much more affected, and many |
of the oldest senators were in tears
many times while Mr.. Clay was speak
ing. He retired from the storm and
turmoil of public life to the bosom of
his family, in the State which he
loved, and which had honored him for
nearly forty years. To leave the cou-
ellis of the nation for ones own altar
and home, was next to leaving this
world itself, in the hope of enjoying
another brighter and better, consum-
nation which almost every public
nan might covet The widest am
oition of Mr.. Clay's case must have
1een fully satiated. He had been at
he head of great and triumphant
)arty. He had shared its confidence
n prosperity and adversely. He had
.dmiration such as has rarely been
,iven to any man in any age. His
riends were legion, and they clung to
lim to the last with all the tenacity OF :
loly affection. He left the senate
With the reputation for craftsmanship, !
or patriotism and for eloquence which |
ny man might covet. He left public
lfe, too, at peace with all mankind, I
dd with a conscience void of offense. {
n his retirement he clrried with him {
he best wishes of all men. There he I
ould have no foes, and those who q
ad been foremost to denounce were {
mong the first to speak his praises. l
he last act of Mr.. Clay was TO present |

erms, and into whose hands he ex- @
ressed his willingness to yield the in
crest of his state and country. The I
enate adjourned as soon as Mr.. Crit {
,nden had taken his seat, though the /
our was early. The crowd scattered /
nd the late senator from Kentucky e
as surrounded by hosts of friends. {

Tie people in North west Kansas
have The privilege this year of selecting
q man who is really bona fide citizen
of Northwest Kansas TO represent them
in Congress. 1t is very gratifying to
men who are, as all true Americans are,
liberty loving, to exalt to office men
who have lived i'll their midst, and with
whom they have been associated in So
cial and political affairs, and in whom
they can confde and for whom they
feel respect and esteem, The WaKee-
ney World, Beloit Courier, Kirwin
Chief, and a few other newspapers are
canYassing the respective chances of
Hon. Lewis Hanback, and Judge Holt for
the nomination to represent the Sixth
District in Congress. This is well. Too
much discussion cannot be INDUCED in,
in reference to the varied qualifications
of those who are to represent the inter-
ests of people in the Halls of Legis-
latiOn. Men whose records are stained
and whose characters are rotten should
be ingloriously left in the race. No
man, who is not sound morally, as we'll
as intellectually, should be nominal ed
to represent the Sixth District in the
National house of Representatives. A
public spirited, upright, intelligent man
should represent the Sixth District.
Mr.. Hanback, was fortunate in being
one of ''the big FOUR" but equally as
unfortunate in being, when the State
was re-districted, citizen of Hol. John
A. Ande2son's district. ~ His rem owing
subsequently to Osborne City has not
blotted from the public mind the fact
that he was not citizen of the Sixth
district when he was elected TO Con-
gress, nor was he the choice of the dele
gates from Northwest Kansas. By re.
moving his family from Salina- to Os-
borne city. did that entitle him any
more TO the support of the Sixth district
than if he had removed from SaHna to
LawrenceP After his election to Con-
gress why did he not return with his
family to his old Topeka home, instead
of going to Osborne City? Men usually
rejoice to add social blessings to those
which are the most dearly appreciated.
The truth is plain that Mr.. Hanback,
saw not the shadow of ghost of a
show for him IN the way of political
preferment il either of the other dis
tricts, and hoping to be returned again
to Congress, he located his family
among US, thereby for the time being,
identifying himself with the people OF
the Sixth district. But it is not reason
able, even if Mr.. Hanback, possessed
recognized abilities as a Statesman, to
believe that the fair minded men of this
district would turn cold shoulder to
Judge Holt, or other worthy men, and
nominate for Congress an imported
man. OF course the Sixth district
