A&Iutr&ns
There was something about che sturdy
vigor Of former generations that
challenges the admiration Of every man,
woman aud CHILD. They were no epicures
those ancient fathers. They lived sim
ply. and successfully met and overcome
difficulties that would have discouraged
this age and generation The rigors Of the
frontier were supplemented by the snyages;
wild beasts threatened their enterprise and
poverty was common companion. Yet
they bravely encountered and resisted all
those things and laid the foundations Of .
land whose blessings we now enjoy. Their
constitutions were strong, their health un-
surpassed and yet they we're forced 10 ex-
pose themselves continually. There Ger

New YORK, Aug. S.-Governor Albeit, of
New Jersey, while swimming at Long Branch

seen TO go under. She went down for the
second time, but when she came to the
surface again Governor Albeit was by her
side and, placing his strong arm around her,
he carried her safely to shore. The yount
lady was tob much exhausted to thank hel
benefactor before he left, although he stepped
long enough to ask her if she did not know il

Length Of Our Lives Increasing,

At recent international health exhi-
bition held in London, Sir James Paget
delivered an address before the associa-
ton, the Prince of Wales being present.
The learned physician asserted that
people live longer than formerly, and
that less sickness prevails among the
mass of people, and he then gives the
following reasons for the decrease of
mortality during the last few years:
There is less from intemperance,
less from immortality; we have better,
cheaper and more various food far
more and cheaper clothing; far more
and healthier recreations. We have on
the whole better houses and better
drains, better water and air, and better
ways of using them. The care and skill
with which the sick are treated in hos
pitals, intirmaries, and even in private
houses are far greater than they were;
the improvement and extension of nurs-
ing are more than can be described; the
care which the rich bestow on the poor,
whom they visit in their own homes, is
every day saving health and life; and
even more etfectual than any of these is
the work done by the medical officers
of health and all the sanitary authori-
ties now active and influential in every
part Of the kingdom. But we want

attempted to present them individually it
would soon be apparent that Blaine was bet
ter acquainted with them than he. George
Woodman, as spokesman of the merchants,
read an address TO Blaine signed by over 800
business men and firms of this city. The ad-
dress after expressing qualification that tue
citizens of Maine had been made the recipi-
elts of presidential nomination, said
Although We have not all been able to
agree with yon upon political questions we
have all had confidence III your integrity as a
man and Your purity and ability as a states
man; and we are united in the conviction
that should the people of the United States
ratify the choice OF your political associates
you will give the country an administration
u1fiValled iii its wise sollcitude and practical
measures for the promotion of all our ma
terlal interests, for its painstaklng care, and
for the plTitication and perfection OF all the
public service.
Blaine replied as follows:
Feliow-citizens, do not know how to ex-
press my sense Of the great honor you pay
me i'll this most cordial reception, all the
more grateful because not rendered in parti-
san spirit or for partisan advantages. For
the business men of Portland | have, from
personal knowledge, always entertained pro-
found respect. In no community has a
nlSner standard OF nefcantiie n0nOr Deen
maintained, more stainless commercial credit,
than in your beautiful city, and the prosper
ity you enjoy is the legitimate fruit of com
prehensive intelligence, industry, and cour-
ageous enterprise. Though never a citizen of
Portland, | was resident among you for
| nearly three years, beginning in 1857 and
ending in 1859. During that time | was edi-
| tor of The Daily Advertiser, and was in con
stant intercourse with business and profes-
sional men of the city, Irecall no more pleasant
period, and iii a wide sense, no more profitable
period in my life. A quarter of century
| has since elapsed, marked with events OF
world wide importance, but the flight OF
| years has not dimmed my appreciation of
| the friendship then formed, nor of the great
| kindness | received in Portland. Were | to
recall the long list of eminent men of both
| parties now no more, whom was then per
| mitted to number among my friends time
would fail me, and this large assemblage,
called for friendly greeting of the living
| would be turned to eulogy. Of this acting
| generation, none higher could be than that
| they are worthy to succeed the Fessendens,
| the Shepleys, the Browns, the Litties, and
| that great host of able and upright meI
| whose names and whose careers are the true

BRUSSELS, Aug. Sowing to fears of a
further demonstration against the deputies,
troops have been stationed near the chamber.
The communal administration at once pro
tested against the employment of troops for
this purpose, and, as it undertook to preserve
order, the protest was needed by the govern
nsnt, and after the soldiers had been on duty
only short time they withdrew. Access to
the streets leading to the ohamoer is now
blocked by the poHce. Notice ha been taken
In this matter in the chamber of deputies.

tary was requested to guard the peace in the
