No good are all the "have beenS," for in

Nobody cares how high you've been, when,

When once you have been President, and
are President no more,
You may run a farm, or teach a school, or
keep a country store,
No one will ask about you you never will
be missed ;
The mill will only grind for you while you
supply the grist.

Strong Language.

Judge Johnson, of California, in
passing sentence of death upon a
criminal, is reported to have used the
following. strong language: "NOr
shall the place be forgotten in which
occurred the shedding of blood. 1t
was one of those ante-chambers of
hell, which mark, like plague spots,
the fair face of our State. You need
not be told that | mean a tippling-
shop, the meeting-place of Satan's
miniOns, and the fair Ccss-pOOl which,
by spontaneous generation, breeds and
nurtures all that is loathsOme and dis
gushing in profanity, and babbling,
and vulgarity, and misunderstanding.
| would not be the owner of a grog-
gerry for the price of this globe con-
verified into ore. For the pitiful sum
of a dime he furnished the poison
which made the deceased a fool and
this trembling culprita deamOnl How
paltry a sum for two lives! This traf-
tic is tolerated by law, and, therefore,
the vender has committed an act not
recognized by earthly tribunals; but
in the sight of him who is unerring
in wisdom, he who deliberately fur
nishes the intoxicating draught which
inflameS men into violence and anger
and bloodShed is particepS crininis in
the deed. Is it not high time that
these sinks of vice and crime should
be held rigidly accountable to the laws
of the land, and placed under the ban
of an enlightened and virtuOus public
opinion -

A Brood of Kittens.

John G. Cooley's cat, at his ranch disliked the confinement Tn. cured in watching four kittens all day, and she placed them under a motherly hen, which was trying to hatch porcelain egg m nest two feet away on the same hay-mow. The hen clucked, lifted her wings, and welcomed the litter. The cat went of to while away the day, and the hen entertained them by clucking un- til the cat came back at night. They answered to both the clucking of the hen and the specific maternal call. The hen sat on the kittens for about two weeks and then they ran away, leaving her disconsolate. There was void in her affections that a DOT ce- lain egg was incompetent to fill. Af ter breeding on her nest for two or three days she gave up the attempt to hatch the egg and began to lay eggs again. Mir. Cooley believes that a litter of kittens is the only thing, ex- ,ept death, that will "break up" a setting hen.-Phenix Gazette.

Some six months ago the American Agriculturist entered upon a new ca recr of prosperity, and to-day it is far superior to any similar periodical ever produced in this or any other country.

Rum Tn excess, or as a medicine is bad enough; opium, save in extrem- ity, is worse, and chloral is, even in the hands of physicians, worst of all, because of the uncertainty of its spe- Cific effect and the inevitable danger attending its use without the prescrip- tion of physician. Periodically, in consequence of some special illustra tion, there is a spasmodic assault upon stimulants. The warfare against alcohol has assumed a chronic form, but as to opium, and now as to chlo- ral, the attacks are made only, as it were, upon invitation. And yet the same principal governs. There are not, indeed, so many consumers of opium as of whisky, nor so many ha- bitual users of chloral as of opium, but the same appetite leads to the use of the one as of the other. In one sense 1t IS natural, in another it is unnatural. Perhaps sorrow and anx, iety have made as many inebriates as thoughtless drinking.-Ex.

Did Indians.

Dr. Levi E. George, of Tucson, reports some old people living Tn northern Arizona. He and a party found a tribe known as the Wakoyas on the Colorado river in a small val ley shut in by high ranges and man. taining thelr independence of al' other tribes. Here he found indl- viduals who are said to be eighty, one hundred and ten, enc hundred and seventy-five and one woman one hun dred and eighty-two years old. The doctor, who claims to have seen much of the woild, believes that these claims are true and argues from the appearance of the individuals and from their method of reckoning. He believes the spot where they live, shutting them out from all other tribes and healthulneSs of the place to be the principal cause of this great longevity.
