The Art of Thinking.

One of the best modes of improving
the art Of thinking is to think over
some subject before yon read upon it,,
and then observe after what manner it
has occurred to the mind Of some great
master; you will then observe whether
you have been too rash o too timid;
what you have omitted and what you
have exceeded; and by this process you
will i~nsensibly catch the manner in
which Il great mind views a great Ques-
ton. 1t is right to study; not only to
think when any extraordinary incident
provokes you to think, but from time
to time to review what has passed, to
dwell upon it, and to see what trains of
thought voluntarily present themselves
to your mind. 1t is a most superior
habit in some minds to refer all the
particular truths which strike them to
other more general truths, SO their
knowledge is beautifully methodiZed,
and IL particular truth at once leads to
the general truth. This kind of UNDER
standing has IN immense any decided
superiority over those confused heads
IN which one fact is piled upon anoth-
er, without any attempt at classified
ton or Arrangement. Some men read
with a pen in their hand, and commit
to paper anynewthought which strikes
them; others trust to chance tor it's APP
pearance. Which OF these is the best
method in the conduct Of the under
standing must, l suppose, depends a
great deal upon the understanding in
question. Some men can do nothing
without preparation; others, little with
it: some are fountains, others reser-
voirs.-Sidney Smith.
Why doesn't somebody erect u build
ing for q town hall? Such a building

party erecting it, rs there are several
societies which will be organized as
o rs Il suitable room can be obtained.

NeW York Sun:-The managers of
the New Orleans fair, in their protract-
ed search for some big thing to serve
as a side show in their enterprise, have
succeeded at last. First they applied
for Boston's Big Organ, bnt the people
Of the Puritan City, though pleased
with this manifestation of good taste,
could not trust an object so hugely pre-
cious to the accidents of a long jour
ney. Still in pursuit of the colossal,
the managers next proposed that the
BARTnoLDI statue should be sent to
the Crescent City on preliminary show,
before its final transfer to Dedloe's Is
land. This, too, was vetoed. Then
Mr.. Gillig conferred with Godfrey's
great Grenadier Guards band, with a
view to it's rendering a service in New
Orleans like that which it rendered to
the Boston Jubilee and lately to the
London Health Exhibition. Finally,
negotiations were begun and concluded
to secure the Great Eastern to bring
European goods to New Orleans, and
to remain on exhibition there. Thus
one big thing has at last been obtained,
and nov the managers are after the
Liberty Bell.
The Times OF India gives an account

and sent for u famous Indian specialist

ed the chicken cure. Twelve live
chickens were brought to the house
and applied to the wound one after the
other. All Of them died from the ef-
fects Of the poison, and two more were
sent for; these two lived, and the pa.
tient was declared cured. The matter
having been reported to the police, the
woman was removed to hospital, out
at the end of five hours the doctors
found no signs of poisoning, and per.
mltttd her to walk home.

Origin Of Painting the Town Red"

STRATFoRD, Nov. 24.-The origin of
the term painting the town red, which
has been used extensively throughout
the State during the last campaign, is
attributed to Gov. Thomas NJ. Waller.
Again it is claimed by Welsh, the min
strel manager, as having been first
used by his advance man out West af-
ter having literally besmeared a city
with big handbills prlntedinre red. When
called to account for wasting the post
ers the agent said he was boupd "to
paint the town red"
Residents Of Old Stratford remember
Uncle Elnathan Wheeler, who former
IL lived up the ferry road. When he
was. boy nearly every Qtner house in
town was painted with the old%-fashion-
mineral red paint, more durable than
any that is made nowadays. Having
bought a large quantity of the paint at
what was considered low price, Uncle
Elnathan tried to induce Harvey Ham
mond, who lived nearly opposite, to en-
ter into partnership, the two to paint
the town red" meaning that at the very
low figure nearly every enc in town
gould be induced to paint np.'-N. Y.

Wise Words on the Liquor Traffic.

The New York Tribune well denom-
mates. the question of dealing with the
traffic in intoxicating liquor "the nudas-
ton Of the age" and says:
1t is impossible to examine any sub
ject connected with the progress, the
civilization, the physical well-being,
the religious condition Of the masses,
without e%ncountering the monstrous
evil. 1t lies at the center OF all politi-
cal and social mischief. It paralyzes
energies in every direction. IT neutral
ICES educational agencies. 1t silences
the voice of religion. 1t battles penal
reform. 1t obstructs political reform.
And we commend to the thoughtful
attention Of our readers the following
paragraph, which is somewhat strange
to find in a political newspaper:
There is needed something Of that
sacred fire which kindled into inextin-
guishable heat the zeal Of the abolition
lists, to rouse the national indignation
and adherence against this very much.
greater evil. Nothing short Of this, it
is to be feared, will impel time-serying
politicians to approach in a spirit Of
earnestness a subject which is distaste-
full to them mainly because they think
they cannot afford to do without the
help and support of the class who de-
rive from the degradation of the fool
ish and ignorant the means whereby
they continue to rule and plumber those
whose saga"ity is not proof against

I know the Mahdi personally. Isaw
him for the first time on the island of
Abe white Nile), about nine years ago.
Mohammed Ahmed is to-day man
about forty years old: he was born at
Dongolah, and is the third son of poor
parents, called Abdellahi and Amina.
When seven years old Ahmed frequent
ed Mussulman school, and at the age
of twelve had completed the study of
the Koran. Thanks to the devotion of
his brothers, established carpenters and
boatbuilders, he was enabled to con-
tinue his studies in the neighborhood
of Khartoum under two clever masters
Ell Gourachi and Abd-el-Ayim, son
of the Sheik Ell Tayeh. It was then,
having completed his studies, that he
came to live on the island of Aba, on
the White river. He lived there about
fifteen years, revered by the Bagarahs,
when he undertook to pass himself off
for the Mahdi, that is to say, for one
sent by God to regenerate Islamism.
Mohammed Ahmed is man of medium
size, Of q light copper color, with q
very black beard, and has three parallel
!. scars on each cheek. He is extremely
thin, for he undergoes very rigorous
fasts. Before making his appearance
in public he inhabited q hole under.
ground, where he wept continually over
the universal corruption. The Mahdi
! only wears shirt and drawers of
damour, or heavy cotton cloth, sandals
for his feet, and Q small turban on his
head.
