The Art OF Silence.

There is entirely too much talking in the
world. If, instead of about half the
theological seminaries, law schools and
other institutions where the art of speech
and speechmaking is so assiduously taught
we could have few schools which should
thoroughly teach the art of silence, religion,
jurisprudence, and humanity in general,
would be vastly benefited thereby.
The man who knows when to hold his
tongue possesses an element of power that
is not yet sufficiently recognized and ap-
preciated. The power of speech is well
known, and exercised to its full extent.
But there are cases, more than seen 5
generally understood, where while speech
Is Altogether useless and even mischieyous,
silence becomes invulnerable armor, and
an iny.ncible, all-conquering weapon of
offense.
How often are the peace and domestic

BRAVE wh,skey for nr,,,.h so,d,er..

The correspondent OF one of the London
papers, now at Suakin writes When Lord
wolseley first assumed command, the question
of Scotch and Irish wbiskey issued by the com
mssary department was too heavy, and yet IL
was necessary to give the men stimulsnt. An
enthusiastic American at Cairo suggested the
use of DuFYy's PURE MALT wHIsKEy, Headquar-
tiers, Baltimore, u. s. A., rctailed by all reliable
grocers and druggists. Having samples in his
travelling outfits IL was found to be such pre-
ventive OF pneumonia, malaria, diphtheria, and
low fevers, that an order for 2t00 was
cabled Immediately.

He Objected Very Enee,lyeIy.

Writing of one OF the ancestors of pres
ent clergyman of Mansfield, Conn, the for
mer of whom was Congregational deacon,
a correspondent says; At time of great
scarcity of provisions bordering ON famine
the good old man 'spied deer coming
out of the woods near his house one
Sunday afternoon, whereupon he seized his
gun and shot it. For this act the
church arraigned him for discip-
line. He pleaded work of necessity and
mercy, and justified the act !; notwithstand-
ing all this the church directed the pastor TO
read his sentence Of accommodation from
the pulpit, the deacon being ordered to stand
meanwhile. AS the pastor was about to read,
the deacon reached behind him, took up his
gun which he had secretly brought with him,
ieyelied it At the pastors head, and ssid ia

How to hold ones tongue even in a single
language seems to be a lost art.

THE Chester county Republicans in their
annual pow-wow solemnly resolved that they
condemned "the action of President Cleve-
lands administration in annulliEg tho con-
tracts with John Roach for building the Jour
vessels for government purposes, such con-
duct being only a petty exhibition of political
authority uncalled for by the circumstances
surrounding the case, and ruinous to the in
terests Of a large body of workingmen,
whose labors at shipbuilding have been Of
immense value both in peace and war"
And yet already the hammers are ringing in
Roacb's shipyard, finishing the government
work and a half dozen navy yards arc being
rugged up for honest and economical govern
ment work. For that kind of sight which
sees the fly and misses the barn door, Ches-
ter county Republican takes the cake.

In speaking of the importance OF
endowing educational institutions Mat
thew Arnold remarks that the future
of high culture and studies must
depend most upon the love OF individuals for
them and the faith of individuals in them
While this is fair enough anchor. 1t is not
sufficient For human nature Is weak and it
is not well to test it too strongly. Herein the
beauty and utility of the endowment make
themselves manifest AS the apostle of truth
and light says: "Endowments and public
foundations fix and fortiiy our profession of
faith and love toward high studies and serious
culture" They gain additional importance
from the fact that as Mr.. Arnold observes ::
"The tendency will be to strengthen and on
large, more or less, the instruction given in
the schools which We call elementary, schools
for the mass of the communicate say that
that instruction, indeed, is indispensable for
every citizen, that this is all the instruction
which is strictly necessary, and that whoever
wants more instruction than this must get 1t
at his own expense as he cam"

THE indianapolis Journal, Republican
organ that seems not yet to acquiesce in the
choice by the people of Mr.. Cleveland as
president, asserted with unnecessary bitter
ness that 'the Democratic party is in
power by the votes of the hummer
wards of New York and Brooklyn"
Whereat the New York Times felt called
upon to prove that the assertion Is the exact
contrary of the truth of the case. In the
First Assembly district, which is heavily
Democratic, and would, therefore, be classed
by the Journal as ''bummer ward.' Gar
field received l,Ss5 votes and Blaine 2,275,
gain OF 300. Hancock received 5,2il votes

From California comes the news that our
senior senator, Don Cameron, has not re-
covered his health. story goes that he is
leading plain and simple life at some mod
est hotel out there. The other evening a
lady guest, new arrival, came down stairs
for some ice-water and seeing an unobtru-
sive man in his shirt sleeves, walking about
the corridor, asked him to fill her pitcher,
which he gracioHsly did. Next morning at
breakfast she was surprised to find the man
whom she had mistaken for an attendant at
her table, to see her husbands man of note
greet him familiarity and to be herself, pre-
sented to the stranger as Senator Cameron.
She apologized for her mistake, and was
made to feel comfortable with the courteous
remark that nothing was toe much trouble
il to be done for a lady. SINDBAD.

FINE DocuuESr.-The Chico Chronicle

FINE DocUMENT-The Chico Chronicle
says:
There is at present being recorded in the
County Recorders Office of Butte perhaps
the finest grant deed ever written in Cali
fornia. 1t is the deed of all the lands of
Leland Stanford and Jane Lathrop Stan
ford, his wife, to twenty-five prominent
| citizens of the Pacific coast, for the pur-
pose of founding and endowing the Leland
Stanford, jr., University. The lands are
situated in Butte, Tehama, Santa Clara and
San Mateo counties. The grant deed was
drawn by Senator Stanford, assisted bv
Colonel Greed Raymond, and is perhaps as
perfect, accurate and thoroughly correct a
legal paper as has ever been executed any
where. 1t was copied on a sheepskin
parchment by a professional penman. The
deed consists of 1860 foIios of written
matter ore-half OF which contains the
covenants, agreements and consideration
upon which the grant was made. This
portion is all written in the old English
style, and is so near perfect as to look like
copper-plate. The heading, subdivision
and sections are done in monogram style,
the title-page being an artistic piece of
work. The work of recording the docu-
ment will occupy the time of a deputy
about one week
