THE big attractions at sea side re-

easy thing to play soldier, but when
called upon for active service, the
musket looks less attractive and the

THE sea side resorts are thanking
the weather clerk for the extreme

said that the rush has been so great
that accommodation could not be

say, but the lavish dislay of fnery

statement. Poor people, as a rule,

PredisposLtion to Disense.

Many persons are predisposed to some
particular siment. This predisposition
may have come down from remote ances-
tors, leaping, perhaps, generation now
and then or it may nave originated in
the immediate parents. On the other
hand, it may have begun within the lite
OF the individual. In either case, the
person may show no sign of the tea
dency in that direction, though frequently
such tendencies are clearly indicated.
But to bring about the attack, there must
also be an exciting Cause-a condition of
things favoring its development.
This fact is of great practical worth.

keeping. A bad inheritance does not
necessarily doom one to Premature death.
He may, Notwithstanding, die Of old age.
He may too, through carelessness or
recklessness, precipitate fatal attack.
1t is desirable, therefore, that each per-
son should know his particular predispo-
sition.
Suppose one has inherited consump-
tive tendency. He need not necessarily
die of the disease. His life should be as
far as possible an outdoor one. His sleep
should be in we'll ventilated, sun disin-
fec'ed rooms His food should include a
good proportion of fat, and be specially
nourishing. His life should be active
rather than sedentary. He should avoid
occupations that involve much dust.
Neither his home nor his place of bust
ness should be in low and damp local
ity.

his safety will lie in avoiding a luxurious
life. If to acute rheumatism, in gaurd-

Two Ohio Statesmen.

Columbus Letter to Cincinnati ENQUIRER.
Thurman and Payne did not speak to
each other at the st. Jackson banquet, it
it said, and yet they sat at opposite ends
OF the same table. 1t is strange how the
lives OF some men are interviewer with
each otherl These two men are the last
representatives in Ohio of the opposition
and bitterness between the North and
South. For years they have been citizens
OF Ohio and members of the same party
one Yankee, the other q Virginian;
Payne Douglas Democrat, Thurman
leaning towards the Breckenridge wing
of the party. Payne stepped out of life
as State Senator when Thurman was q
Congressman; Thurman Judge of the
Supreme Court when Payne was the
Democratic candidate for Governor and
was beaten by small vote by the apathy
of Thurman s friends. Payne is now a
United States Senator elect and Thurman
an aspirant for Cabinet place. They
were never cordial. They always were
in antagonism, and yet each alternately

while Payne Counseiled against it but
voted for it. Each was placed upon the

are of the two systems which tinged and

One by one we are crossing the
silent river of death. Levi Dorsey
died December goth, aged 55 years.
The deceased was born near Martins
burg, W. Va. He came to and set
tied in our town in June, 1852.
When Pennsylvania called upon her
ehany-hued sons to go forth in de-
fepse OF hers and the nations liber-
ties Levi Dorsey, true to the old flag,
though it had waved over him as a
bondman, went forth and offered him
self as a sacrifice upon the altar Of
his country, beneath whose proud
flag to4day, thank God, no slave
moves or breathes, but all stand equal
in the sunlight of liberty. Mr.. Dor
sey attached himself to the sgd U. S.
G. 7. and served his country faith
fully and we'll until the close OF the
war. Your correspondent, who was
at that time a member of the 55th
regiment Massachusetts volunteers,
had the honor of seeing the S2d re-
ceive its baptism of fire at James
Island, South Carolina, and again did
the fortune of war place the SD and
55th side by side on the holly con-
tested field at Honey Hill, Georgia,
and therefore only pays a deserved
mark of respect to a brave deceased
comrade.
Catharine, wife of James Cruukle-
ton, died January 5th, aged AZ. She
was a sincere Christian and faithful
member of ST. James A Nj. Il.
church.
Died, January IA, Frederick, infant
son of Emma Good.
Mr.. Jordan Hodge and wife, Of
Boston, Mass, spent several days of

Senator Sumner took quite an interest
in me, and had an especial fondness for
catching me by the ears. Often have l
attempted to pass the Senator, while he
was walking to and fro on the floor of the
Senate, only to have both my ears seized
good -naturedly, and to be asked some
kindly question. l shall always remem-
Der one of these adventures-for it r0s an
adventure He had sent me on an er-
rand. Having returned, reported to him
the answer, and received his deep voiced
thanks, l started to move away, but he
had caught me, and continued his slow
march, in front--Indian file. As he
was a tall man and very small boy in
comparison, had to walk on tiptoe to
ease the pain, and even then it seemed as
if my ear would come off my head. The
worst of it was that he at once became so
lost in thought that he forgot he had hold
of me, and mechanically paced up and,
down, with his long strides, while I
danced wild war-dance, for some min
utes,--it seemed to me hours to the
intense amusement of all who observed it.
The more l struggled, the more did in
crease the agony, but at last managed
to wriggle away from his grasp. The
sudden emptiness" Of his hand caused
him to realize the state of affairs, and he
begged my pardon so energetically, and
the spectators smiled so audibly, that the
proceedings of the Senate were inter-
rupted and Dir. Colfax actually had to tap
with his gavel to restore order
But it was, after all, an honor to be
noticed, even in that fashion, by so dis
tinguished a man as Senator Sumner.
He had the widest reputation of any of
the senators, and the first question most
visitors TO the Senate would ask was:

uId-Time Bridesmaids.

Instead OF being so many graceful orna-
ments at the marriage ceremony, as now
adays, the bridesmaids in olden times
had various duties assigned them. Thus
one of their principal tasks was dressing
the bride on her wedding morning, when
any omission in her toilet was laid to their
charge. At wedding, too, where it was
arranged that the bride should be lol-
lowed by a numerous train OF her lady
friends, it was the first bridesmaids duty
to play the part ola drill mistress; 'siz-
ing them, 80 that mo pair in the pro-
cession were followed by taller couple. ;"
She was also expected to see that each
bridesmaid was not only duly provided
with spriT of rosemary, or floral posy
pinned to the breast folds Of her dress,
but had a symbolical chaplet in her hand.
In mapv parts of Germany it is still Gus
tomarv for the bridesmaids to bring the
myrtle wreath, which they have sub
scTibed together TO purchase on the nup'
tial eve, to the house Of the bride, and re-
move it from her head at the close OF her
wedding day fter this has betn done,
the bride is blindfolded and the myrtle
wreath being put into her hand, she tries
10 place it on the head OF one other brides
maids as, they dance around her, for, IN
accordance with an old belief, whoever
she crowns is sure TO be married within
year from that date. AS may be mag
ined, this ceremony is the source OF no
small excitement, each bridesmaid Oelng
naturally anxious to follow the example
of the bride. Referring once more TO the
bridal wreath and chaplet, 1t is still a cur
rent notion in many parts ofour own coun-
try that the bride in removing these must
take special care that her bridesmaids
throw away every pin. Not only Is it al
frmed that misfortune will overtake the
bride who retains even one pin used IN
her marriage toilet, but woe also to the
bridesmaids II they keep any OF them as
