BE Careful what Yom Write.
Ali writers OF letters this warning should take:
You're sure 70 be caught, you're sure to be
caught
You may think that no Winds your opinions can
shake.
But the future Is full OF Its dangers unsought,
And some muggy morning you're sure TO awake
And ind that your views don't consist as they
ought.
You may talk, but don't write your CONVICTIONS,
for then
You're sure to be caught, you're sure to be
caught;
Use words OF the mouth, for the words OF your
pen
Are most treacherous means of expressing q
thought.
And have queer way OF appearing again
To teach you lesson you should have been
taught.
word that is written don't know when It's
dead;
You're sure to be caught you're sure to be
caught;
At times most unseemly It's sure to be read
And TO glory in mischief its nature has
wrought;
But the word that is spoken, when echo has fled
May be safely denied or a new setting bought

Aristocra,ic q. wash,nr,on.

Westinghouse pompous ways were severely
criticised at his time. His gorgeous cream
colored coach with It's six horses was
talked of, and they said that it was ridicu-
lous for one who posed as the great cham
pion of American liberty to keep. men in
livery and to own 500 slaves. There was
probably some truth in this charge. Wash
ington was great swell, and he like to strut
about and have his fellow-men toadying to
him. He believed in high honors being
paid to the President of the United States
and his receptions rs President were Of the
stiffest kind. He dressed in the richest of
clothes, wore silk, satin and lots of gold
lace, and doubt not he was little proud
of his figure, which was tall and well-form-
ed, with the exception of the chest, which
was sunken. Washington had probably as
fine an establishment in America MS any
man in the country at the time he lived.
He kept the finest Of horses in his stables
and had an army of liveried servants. At
Mount Vernon he had hundred COWS, and
he entertained like an English Lord. He
always had wine on his table, and he drank
several glasses at every dinner His wife
was addressed as Lady Washington in those
days. and his friends gave him the title in
private life of : Your Exeellency." / have
seen manuscript private letters to Mrs.
Washington directed to LADY Washing
ton, and doubt not that during the first
Administration of the Government she was
toadied like Queen. She and the President
had their coat-of-arms, and George WASH
ngton had buttons made, at least there are
such buttons in existence, with his initials
on them. The Washington family had the
finest of china. They liked good furniture,
and even now at Mount Vernon one might
keep up an establishment which would moi
discredit the times of to-day.

IMPORTANCE OF SLEEP.
The arrangements Of the System thai
Sleeplessness 10 significant or

The restoration OF energy, which sleep
alone can afford, is necessary for the main.
tenance of nervous vigor, and whereas the
muscular System, II overtaxed, at last re-
fuses to work, the brain under similar cir.
cumstances too frequently refuses TO rest.
The sufferer, instead of trying TO remove OF
lessen the cause of his sleeplessness, com.
forts himself with the hope that it will soon
disappear, or else has recourse to alcohol,
morphia, the bromides, choloral, &c. Val
aable and necessary as these remedies often
are, Il refer especially to the drugs,) there
can be no question MS to the mischief which
attends their frequent use, aud there - much
reason to fear that their employment in the
absence OF any medical authority is largely
on the increase. Many of the proprietary
articles " sold by druggists, and in great de.
mand at the present day, owe their efficacy
to one or more of these powerful drugs
Not few deaths have been caused by theii
use, and in still larger number of cases
they have helped tosproduce the fatal re-
suit. Sleeplessness il almost always accom-
panied by Indigestion in some one or other
of its protean forms. and the two conditions
react upon and aggravate each other. II
rest cannot be obtained, and il the vital
machine cannot be supplied with due
amount of fuel, and, moreover, fails to util-
ize that which is supplied, mental and bodi-
ly collapse cannot be far distant The de-
tails of the downward process vary, but
the result is much the same in all cases.
Sleeplessness and loss OF appetite are fol.
lowed by loss Of flesh and strength, nervous
irriiability alternating with depression, pal
pitation, and other arrangements Of the
heart, especially at night, and many of
those symptoms grouped together under
the old term hypochondriasis." When

Lord Salisbury warned the Greek govern

people seem to be determined to try eonclu-
sions with the Sultan whether the powers
consent or not Preparations for war are
being hurried and the fleet has already sailed
under sealed orders. The king, if he could
do so without running the risk of losing his
crown, would undoubtedly yield to the wish

GREECE AND TURKEY,

The union of Eastern Romelia and Bulga-

she now insists on taking a slice of the Sick
Mans dominions for herself. Greece has al
ways claimed that she did not get what was
due her under the treaty Of Berlin, and has
never been able to get full possession of what
was given her. She wants the whole of Epi-
rus she now holds a part: and she asserts
that she has claim to large part of Mace

Greeks. She defends her present warlike
attitude towards Turkey on the ground that

Party DIVISION ON THE TARIFF LINE.
Philadelphia Inquirer
The question of free trade or protection
cannot be too soon settled, and it cannot be
more speedily or satisfactorily settled than
by the two parties making it a direct issue
between them leaving it to the country to
decide which is right and which wrong. We
have long commended that the two great par
ties should divide upon this line The Repub-
iicans were always ready to do it, but when
ever a general election was to be held the
Democrats avoided the issue. If they have
really resolved to be honest for just this
once and have the courage of their free
trade convictions, the tariff question can be
easily settled.
HARD TASK FOR COMING GENERATIONS.
Macon Telegraph.
1t is CALLING reflection to the North that,
aided by the hired hirelings from the four
quarters of the globe, it was enabled to force
the South down and to rob and insult it, but
was unable to crush the manhood of its peO-
pie. The monuments erected to the South
ern dead, illustrative of a righteous cause,
will stand until destroyed by time. They
were erected by people whose descendants
are capable of preserving their work The
South has shown willingness to forget and
forgive, but it cannot be forced into dishon-
orable denialS. The government has ex-
hausted the large stock of cannon, cannon
balls, muskets and bayonets left over from
the war, in building monuments to the hire
lings who did the fighting of the North. The
South is quite willing that these shall stand,
and that the justice and merits of the quar-
rel shall be arbitrated by the people of COM
ing generations.

Such course, however, is not usual Pills
bury has endeavored to have his side of the

scores of letters to be sent to Senators Hoar

confirmation, and he has been very confident
that Mr. Frye would not oppose him; but he
has been mistaken. Pillsbury has also Sc
cured letters from every member of the Gar

This is from the New York World, a news
paper whose Democracy has never been
questioned, and whose advice Democrats
have ever been willing to follow. 1t has ref
erence to Attorney-General Garland:
He is placed in false position by his owner
ship of this stock. He should rid himself OF it at
once. He cannot regard it as desirable that the
judges before whom the Bell case will be tried
should know that by their decision they enrich a
high cabinet officer. render his property worth
less. We ask him whether he considers that his
ownership Of this stock is calculated to raise the
highest standard of official honor in public life?
We ask him whether it is creditable to Demo-
cratic reform administration?
This does not in so many words call upon
Mr.. Garland to resign. 1t only advises the
next thing to it. When Mr.. Garland took the
Pan-Electric stock it was practically worth
less. The recent action of the Interior and
Law departments is supposed to have given
it market value. The encouragement is
in dilemma. If he holds on to his stock
through the coming litigation his position be-
fore the people will not be enviable If he
disposes of it it must necessarily be at very
handsome profit, and this handsome profit
would certainly not 'be creditable to Dem
ocratic reform administration

Besides the Irish problem, which day by
day is growing larger and more perplexing,
Mr.. Gladstone must face the question of
Greek coercion and possible great war in
the East. He has faced great political prob
lens before. He has sometimes Numbered,
to be sure, but he has so often met them
boldly and settled them rightly, once for all,
that the masses of Great Britain have ground
for the hope that he will do the same with
the great questions which now confront
him. If Victoria regrets, as she doubtless
will, to summon Gladstone to Windsor to
form new cabinet she will not be in full
sympathy with her people.
Gen. Hazen, the chief of the signal service,

government, is one for detectives employed
to ascertain the writer of the open letter
in which administration was severely
attacked. Hazen has been in constant tur-
MOL since he took charge of the weather
bureau. He is ever spelling for fight. His
courage is much superior to his discretion.
There is now movement to transfer the
weather bureau from the war department to
the department of the interior, and it will
be undoubtedly for the benefit of the service
for it to succeed.
