Eyes nl-Matched.

In neighboring newspaper office there are
pair Of newspaper workers, each Of whom
has had the misfortune to lose an eye. One
Of the gentlemen has had his missing mem
ber replaced by an artificial blue eye, and
the other with a grey one. The other night,
in the midst Of the rush which accompanies
annual reviews, the artificial eyes were re-
moved to give the muscles a rest, and the
glass orbs laid on desk. The first man to
go home naturally took the first eye found
lying around, which happened to be the
other fellows, and the other fellow took the
one that was left. The mistake might not
have been noticed to this day If some one
had not discovered that there were several
reporters in Minneapolis with eyes I'LL
matched as to color

into Judge Forakers mouth that the judge
never dreamed Of uttsring"; land inten-
tionslly to charge Judge Foraker with that
sentiment would be infamous" And We
closed our rebuke with the following
language, covering the whole ground Of
this correspondents and of the colored
peoples prejudice against Judge Foraker:
"Judge Foraker, so far as his record shows
has never said word that could be construed
or distorted into meaning anything but the
most earnest sympathy for the colored race
and the most ardent desire that they should
be invested with all the rights of American
citizens.
A mere prejudice, however influential it
may be in matters Of political availability.
must not be permitted to pervert the truth OF
history"
And SO it was malicious for the Journal
to saw that we 'prefended to rebuke the
writer" knowing as the Journal man does
that we never pretend" Gentlemen who
are friends and who desire to continue
friends do not, in private, impugu each
others motives with word as offensive as
that; and the man who does so in his
newspaper forgets. as it seems to us. what
is due to the amenities of an honorable
profession.
But the Journal appears to have got the
blood in its head about the nomination of
Joseph B. Foraker for governor, and q
head with an undue fux Of blood in it is
liable sometimes to utter itself in q red
holiness that is not characteristic of its
owner in his cooled-off state Of mind. Yet
this prickly-rasn championship of favor
ite candidate is often damage to the in
nocent and helpless victim Of it; and We
advise the Journal to place a wet towel on
its iervent intellect and silently wait for
the evaporation. Thus it will have our
pardon and Judge Foraker's gratitude.

New York from . Russian Stand point.
(Paris NewSl

The Vedomosti, an excellent paper, in.
forms us that New Workers are day and
night trembling for their lives and property.
Somewhere IN First street there is a revolu-
tionary-cosmopolitan beer saloon in which
red hot communistic speeches are delivered
as frequently as glasses Of beer are emptied;
and that but for the well drilled and armed
militia, which keeps an eye on that terrible
place, the residents OF New York would
migrate in q body. 1t is to be hoped that
the militia will preserve the peace, because
the New Workers would have no place to
fly to il it be true, as The Vedomosti says,
Nthat guerilla war is continually going on all
over the United States; now laborers ara
crushing their foes, and now capitalists,
aided by soldiers, are drowning rioters in
their own bloodp

The Republicans of the legislature have
done most sensible thing. They assem-
bled in caucus last night and resolved
unanimously not to give Republican vote
to the Democratic license amendment.
Jones, of jackson, was the only absent
member. He is said to be in favor of IL
cense. He, however, will no. be likely to
vote with the Democrats. But if he should,
they will still lack two Of the necessary
number in the house to adopt the resolu-
ton. Consequently, no license amend
ment will be submitted. The minority
have taken the stand that they will be sus-
tanned in by the party.

Monthly, having seen fuid .rtract of
Eucalyptus Globulus recommended in per-

ministered it in some twenty five or thirty
cases, and the results were of a very crafty

the severity of the paroxysms in every case,
and in so abating the symptoms occasionally
that what gave promise of being a very

Words of Wisdom.

He who gives fair words feeds you
with an empty spoon.
Fiction pleases the more in proper
ton as it resembles truth.
Make people happy, and there will
not be half the quarreling or tenth
part of the wickedness there is.
Humility, sweet as it may be as a
trait of character, may degenerate into
vice, if not upheld by self-respect.
In the literary as we'll as military
world, most powerful abilities will often
be found concealed under rustic garb.
He that's not handsome at twenty,
strong at thirty, wise at forty, rich at
fifty, never will be handsome strong,
wise or rich.
In every relation of life we must bear
and forbear; we must not expect per-
fection, and each party should carry
the cloak Of charity for the other.
The esteem OF wise and good men is
the greatest of all temporal encourage
ments to virtue, and it is the mark OF
an abandoned spirit to have no regard
to it.
Seek not to please the world, but
your own conscience. The man who
has feeling within him that he has done
his duty upon every occasion is far hap
pier than he who hangs upon the smiles
of the great or the still more tickle
favors of the multitude.

Life.

Life is but moment, brief reflex
from the great ocean of eternity. Take
heed how you make use of it, and from
the great consequences involved in its
short duration learn the importance of
little things.
Queen Elizabeth once said to cour-
tier: "Those succeed best in this world
who pass over it quickly, for it is but
bog; if we stop we sink" Truly, this
saying deserves to be oft quoted, and
oftener practiced. Life is short, and
while we have it we should make the
most of it, as by our conduct in this
world will be awarded our position in
the next. We have no time for idle
ness we must be quick and decisive.
The man who thinks and executes rap
idly succeeds best in life, for though we
may occasionally make mistakes, of
more or less importance, they are more
than counter. balanced by the benefits
arising from his successes. 1t is such a
man who makes a mark in the world.
For there are moments when hesitation
is worse than folly-when it is crime.
Fortunes come but seldom, and when
she does come she is often unexpected.
1t is our duty to be always on the watch
and seize all opportunities which God
or man may put within our reach. An
active life is one of happiness. Our en-
ergies are wrapped up in our undertak-
ings to the exclusion of secret sorrow
every success is so much additional
pleasure; every failure an incentive to
further endeavors. Act act that is
the grand secret of success in life. Rap
id thinkers and decisive doers are scarce
all the world over; not from lack of
suitable material, but because the incli-
nation for active life is wanting in
vast number Of men. Let one trust in
himself, let him exert his capabilities to
their fullest extent and, sooner or later,
success will inevitably smile upon him.
There is no such thing as failure to a
man with purpose which he is deter
mined to successfully accomplish. Let
us all have purpose and let US accom-
plish it. The good which will follow
will not be confined to individuals
alone, but will extend to and benefit all
society.
Life is a strange mystery. We can
be sure of nothing save death, and the
anticipation of it causes us more alarm
and solitude than all the other ills and
calamities of life. This fear of the
tribute to nature is childish in the ex-
treme. Death is inevitable, and as we
must resign ourselves to the inevitable,
why not do so with a good grace, in
stead of with an ignoble fear? Indeed,
we should rather welcome than fear
death, for it is the exchanging of pre-
carious present for a happy and eternal
life. We have cause to bless our lot in
belonging to the present, and to bless
the past, for the Scriptures have shown
so terrible picture of the last ages of
the world that we cannot but congrat-
ulate ourselves on not belonging to
them.
To conclude, Homer says: "Like
the leaves of the trees, first spreading,
and then decaying, SO are the genera
tions of mortal men,"

Farming and Getting Rich.


1t may be wholly idle to attempt to
stem the tide that is rising with such
force in this country in favor of mere
riches, but in the case of farmers it is
as we'll to lay the simple truth before
them as to withhold. Without in the
least presuming to dictate motives or
aims to any class of men, we may never
theless say with perfect truth and re-
spect for their status and privileges, that
farmers of allmen are the very last ones
who need trouble themselves about rich
es as other people do. Possessing and
living upon their own productive acres,
they have all the requisite resources of
wealth constantly in their own hands.
They are sure of shelter, of food, and of
needful clothing; to toll and moil,
pinch and screw, starve and deny, mere
ly to be accounted worth a certain
amount of money, is only wasting the
precious term of life which might be
Used to far better purpose.
We will indulge in no moralizing on
the subject furthur than to say that to
go without in order to scrape together
certain sum Of money, and then to leave
it behind without ever having the pro-
ductive and enjoyable use of it, is the
folly of childishness itself. To provide,
with prudence and industry, against
the accidents Of life and the infrmities
of possible old age, is of course every
mans duty, and should supply the
healthful stimulus to exertion !; but to
become slave, to starve the higher and
better nature, and to deny rational en-
joyment TO ones self and family merely
to be reckoned worth so many dollars,
is folly indefensible.
A man on his own farm, we'll cultiva-
ted and kept, we'll stocked, with good
modern dwellings and barns and out
buildings, master of both time and
acres, tied to no hours by the call of
bells or whistles, free to come and 60
according to the necessities of none but
himself, mostly in his own fields and
performing his healthful labors within
sight of the smoke of his own CHM
neys, is surely as rich in the genuine
sense of that word as any man can be.
He has nothing to fear and nobody to
envy. Of one thing he is sure all his
days, and that is sufficient living;
and that is what other men are never
sure of without a single pang of doubt
or apprehension. There is his land !;
there is is home; there is all the ami
mate and inanimate machinery of his
establishment; and for the rest he looks
in profound trust to the bounty of
heaven.
Instead of this unworthy and demor-
alizing anxiety to get rich, if the aver
age farmer once being solidfy establish
ed, would resolve to enlarge and exalt
his life as it is, to make more out of
that, to enjoy as much as possible of
what there is to be enjoyed, to adorn
and beautify his home-that only pari-
disc on earth-within and without, he
would find all his daily tasks far easier
even to the extent of being delightful,
he would feel rich where now with more
moAey he feels all the time poor, and
he would rid himself of false tyrant
in the form of increasing parsimony
that holds his nose to the grindstone
till he is flung into his grave. If far
mers only knew it, they could easily be
the richest men on earth.

Pearls of Thought.

Men fear death as children do to go
into the dark.
There is always hope in man that
actually and earnestly works.
Men are never killed by the adversi-
ties they have, but by the impatience
which they suffer.
In giving, man receives more than
he gives, and the more in proportion to
the worth of the thing given.
The beauty of the face is frail pos
session, a short-lived flower, only at
tached to the mere epidermis, but that
of the mind is innate and Interchangeable.
Much depends upon mans courage
when he is slandered and traduced.
Weak men are crushed by detraction !;
but the brave hold on and succeed.
There are men whose presence in
sures trust and reverence; there are
others to whom we have need to carry
our trust and reverence ready made.
The apprehension of evil is many
times worse than the evil itself; and
the ill man fears he shall suffer, he
suffers in the very fear of them.
A man troubles himself with imagi-
nary sorrows, and discards those those
which could help him easily to eradi
cate those sorrows.

Ex-Express Eugenie.
Paris Letter in San Francisco Chronicle.

Paris Letter an San Francisco Chronicle.
The ex-Empress Eugene is another
one of those crownless persons on whom
we have right to look with compass
sion. She passed through Paris only
the other day and she spent most of her
time while here in the house ofDr. John
Evans. The doctor was her dentist
when she lived at St. Cloud and in the
Tuileries; he saved her life when a
bowling mob of crazy communists were
seeking it; it was he who brought her
safely to the Channel coast and bargain
ed with British tar for her swift con-
veyance to the protecting shores of old
England, and he has remained her
friend ever since. People before whom
she once played so prominent role
have almost forgotten her. Titled
danes and men of high degree, who
owed everything to her during the en-
pire, now pass her by on the other side
of the way when she reappears in Paris
in her widows weeds. She is not the
handsome woman now she once was
her hair is gray and her form begins to
bend. l have no wish to say anything
against a woman, and least of all
against one who has had so many great
griefs, but it does seem to me that the
ex-Empress would do we'll to avoid
these frequent and useless visits to Paris
visits for which there is not the shad-
ow of an excuse, and which are not at
all in keeping with the dignity of a de-
thronged sovereign. What an abyss
lies between the past and the present of
this woman who fifteen short years ago
was the mistress of France! Two days
ago I saw her driving down the Champs
Elysees in modest coupe, unnoticed
and ignored by the passing crowd
fifteen years ago she never appeared in
public except when surrounded by i'm
perial pomp, escorted by richly dressed
chamberlains, guarded by numerous
police and cheered by the admiring
throng. Then when her cortege enter
ed the palace inclosure the guards turn
ed out to pay her imperial honors.
Now, in that same palace, or rather
what is left of it, the Crown jewels
which then adorned her brow are being
exhibited to the public prior to passing
under the auctioneer's hammer. What
strange memories must fill the mind of
this woman whenever she visits Paris
memories of her first interview with
Louis Napoleon, under the watchful eye
of long headed mother whom history
has carefully consigned to oblivion ; of
the splendors of the wedding ceremony
at Notre Dame, and the mocking smile
with which the Prince Napoleon, a
glass screwed into his right eye, handed
the wax taper to her and to his cousin ;
of the reconstruction of the old imperi-
al court, of the gorgeous festivals, of
political journeys, among them the one
to assist at the opening of the Suez
Canal, which was for her and for the
empire a veritable apotheosis, and at
which all the crowned heads of Eu-
rope paid her the homage due to her
beauty!
