jackson and the Veteran.

Removals from Office that places
might be provided for jackson men
were the order of the day, but President
jackson was not disposed to displace
any veteran soldier. Among other vic
tins designated for removal by the poll
ticians was Gen. Solomon Van Renssel-
aer, whose gallant services against
Great Britain in the war of 1912 had
been rewarded by an election to the
House of Representatives, followed by
his appointment as postmaster of AL
bany. He was a decided federalist, and
the petition for the removal was headed
by Martin Van Buren, and Silas
Wright.
Visiting Washington, Gen. Van Rens-
selaer received cordial greeting from
Gen. jackson at public reception, and
then, taking ii seat in a corner, he wait
ed until the room was cleared, when he
again approached the president. say
ing: "Gen. jackson. | have come here
to talk to you about my office. The
politicians want to take it from me.
and they know l have nothing else to
live upon" The president made no re-
oily, till the aged postmaster began to
take off his coat in the most excited
manner. when Old Hickory broke out
with the inquiry: what in heavens
name are you going to do? Why do
you take off your coat here?" "Well,
sir, am going to show you my wounds,
which | received in fighting for nv
country against the English!'' Put it
on at once. sirr was the reply. Il am
surprised that man of your age should
make such an exhibition of himself, :"
and the eyes of the iron president were
sutfused with tears as, without another
word. he bade his ancient foe good
evening.
The next day Messrs. Van Buren, and
Wright called at the White House and
were shown into the presidents room.
where they found him smoking clay
pipe. Mr.. Wright soon commenced to
solicit the removal of Gen. Van Rens-
selaer. asserting that he had been
known as a very active advocate of
John Quincy Adams; that he had liter
ally forfeited his place by his earnest
opposition to the jackson men, and
that if he were not removed the new
administration would be seriously in
jured. He had hardly finished the last
sentence when jackson sprang to his
feet. flung his pipe into the fire. and ex-
claimed, with great vehcmence: Il take
the consequences, sir! l take the con-
sequences! BY the Eternal! | will
not remove the old man! can not re-
move him! Why, Mr.. Wright, do you
not know that he carries more than q
pound OF British lead in his body?"
That settled the question, and Gen.
Van Rensselaer, remained undisturbed
as postmaster ut Albany through the
Jackson administration. although Mar
tin Van Buren,, when he came into
power, promptly bounced" him.-Ben:

Sharp-Witted and Close-Fisted.

This is one of the latest stories in
connection with the Scott act: Some
time ago citizen ordered a barrel of
cider from manufacturer not a dozen
miles from Guelph. The cider was not
delivered at the time appointed and a
few days afterward the buyer asked the
seller why he did not fill the order The
answer given was to the effect that he
would like to be paid his money first.
The reply was that the money was all
right and to deliver the cider at once
The seller accordingly went to the resi-
dence of the purchaser a few days after
ward with the cider. He would not de-
liver it until he had received the col
lateral. After some talk the purchaser
handed the man a So bill. As soon as
the order was taken from the wagon
the purchaser remarked: Nov, YOU
have played a pretty sharp trick on me,
doubling my honesty, now | will have
my turn. Ii you do not pay ME back
that So | will inform on you for selling
contrary to law" The deliverer of the
cider was in fix, so to speak, but he
eral talk, in which it was understood
that the receiver should pay for the
cider ut convenience, the matter was
apparently settled. The deliverer then
asked all hands to have drink, which.
was served, when he Immediately asked
for his S., remarking that he was
not the only man who would be COM
PEELED to pay fine of $50. 1t is need
less to say that The cider was paid for
forthwith. l. Guelph (Can.) Mercury.

Hereditary Diseases.

A fallacious notion has somewhere
crept in that an intellectual man must
be below par phySicdlly, and that the
one faculty is necessarily cultivated ut
the expense of the other. The old pro-
verb, mems SGl2G IN cOrpOre S012O, has
been fiouted as an absurdity. So much,
very briefly, for the first cause of race.
degeneration; the second. and the one
to which this paper would direct atten-
ton, is the influence of hereditary dis
eases. This factor has never received
the attention it should have had at the
hands of the writers on social science.
The races of which we have been speak
ing had little of this element to contend
with. The weaklings we're either dc
hberately exposed and lett TO die, as in
the case of the Spartans. or if they at
tanned maturity they were held in such
low esteem that they willingly kept in
the background. Look for moment
at our modern civilization, and mark
its diametrically opposite tendency.
Every day hospitals are being erected to
nurture the diseased and imperfect
| specimens of our race and every year
| thousands of children are by skill and
| care saved from the death to which Ma
ture would consign them. All this ac-
cords with our enlarged notions of
humanity, aud reflects great credit on
the zeal of the philanthropist and the
science of the physician. but it exerts a
baneful effect on the race. To one who
has had access to any large city hospi
tails, it is pitiful sight to see the multi
tude of children who are tided over a
few years, and sent out into the world
branded with an hereditary taint, to
| propagate their wretched breeds. The
limits of this paper will not allow any
extended statistics, nor the nature of it
warrant a special discussion of heredi-
tary diseases. but there are two whose
effects are apparent to all, consumption
and insanity. The former, consump-
ton. using the term in its widest sense,
has for ages produced the most fright
full ravages. For example. in England,
from 1887 to 1S41, of the total number
of deaths from all causes sixteen pei
cent were from consumption. In Phila.
delphia, from 1910 to 1S49, the death
rate was one of consumption to six and
half from all other causes, or about
fifteen per cent.-Dr. George j. Preston

Language of the Eyes.

Long. almond-shaped eyes, with thick
skinned eyelids that cover half the
pupil. are indicative of genius when
they are found in conjunction with a
brow which is full over the eyebrows,
and which has one deep perpendicular
line between the eyebrows. | have fire.
quently noticed this combination in the
faces of distinguished literary men and
artists. The almond-shaped eye. how
ever, even without this peculiar form of
forehead, always means a susceptible,
lmpressionable nature. Eyes which are
large, open. and very transparent, and
which sparkle with rapid motion
under well-defined eyelids, denote ele-
gance in taste, a somewhat susceptible
temper and great interest in the oppo-
site sex. Eyes with weakly marked eye
browS above them, and with thinly
growing eye-lashes which are complete
ly without any upward curve, denote a
feeble constitution and melancholy
disposition. Deep sunken and small
blue eyes. under bony, almost per-
pendicular forehead, are indicative of
selfish and cold-hearted natures. Eyes
which show not only the whole of the
iris, but also some of the white both
above and below it, denote a restless.
uncertain nature, incapable of repose
or of concentrated thought on any sub
ject. The eyes of Il voluptuary move
: slowly under heavy lids, Round
! shaped eyes are never seen in the face
of IA highly intellectual person, but they
! denote kindly, truthful, and innocent
nature. Eyes which (when seen in pro-
tile) are SO protuberant as to run almost
parallel with the profile of the nose,
show weak organization of body and
mind. Eyes rather close together show
penetration, but eyes close together de-
note cunning and an untruthful DISPOSE
ton. Eyes rather far apart are indica-
tive of frankness and simplicity OF pur-
pose-an honest and guleless nature.
When, however, the eyes are very far
apart they denote stupidity. Eyes with
sharply defined angles, sinking at the
corners, show subtlety of mind; the
sharper the angle ana the more it sinks,
the greater the delicacy of perception ii
denotes; but when very much developed
it shows also craftiness amounting tC
deceit. Well-opened eyes, with smooth
eyelids and a steady and some tlxed
glance, denote sincerity. Lines run
ming along the eyelids from side tC
side, and passing out upon the temples
denote habitual laughter Cheerful
temperament, or, at any rate, one il
which the sense of fun is strong.-B0S

says he. THAT u determined effort has
not been make to get rid of this absurd
relic of the past. Laws should, of
course, be enacted giving the wife a fair
interest in her husbands property; but
there is no sense in singing out real
estate and making that bear all the
burden. In the complications of modern
marital life husbands and wives some
times disagree, and then the man can
not dispose of his real property. Every
one conversant with legal disputes
knows what practical hardships have
resulted from dover rights invalidating
title deeds. 1t is quite remarkable. in
view of the assertion of rights by the
advocates of women, that men have not
asserted their right to buy or sell real
estate on their own hook, just as they
do personal property"

ABOUT HYDROPHOBIA.
a Dealer In Dogs Says the Disease Is No
Observation-Disclosures Die of Fright.

Anyone riding in the Fourth avenue
cars, says the New York World, can
notice in passing through Broome street,
a few cages filled with chickens piled
together above a cellar door, and sur
mounted by the remains of what was
once q dog. who is there to signify to
the passing multitude that Mr.. James
Young has more and fresher CANNES for
sale below.
That dog was once a triumph of the
taxidermist's art. and except that his
bark was out of order, no one would
know that he had obtained Nirvana;
but wind and weather have worked sad
ravages, and left him bald as an old
kid glove. He says in places, and his
wan, glass eyes bulge out too much. but
he seems to remind the world that his
owner holds some original views on the
subject of dogs who are called mad.
There never was dog what was
called crazy but you'd finG when you d
cut him open he'd something wrong in
his stawmick, something that ohghtn' t
to be there" said the og-fancier didac-
tically. When DIR. Mott, who is expert
menting with Pasteur's methods in this
city, made q post mortem examination
of the dog who bit the first child he in
.oculated, he found hard ball in its
stomach, which appeared to be COM
posed of the hempen tibers of a door
mat. This was so remarkable con-
firmation of Mr.. Young's statement that
he was induced by a reporter to tell
about it.
"Yes, saw that" said the dog-dealer,
in reference to Motifs statement. -''And
it's just like l said before. When a
dogs what folks calls mad, you'll al
ways find ball like that in his staw-
mick. Sometimes it's hair. sometimes
it's wool, and sometimes it's the door
mat, but the troubles always the same
Here's the way it is: A dog that's kept
chained up in his kennel or in city
house, the moment you let him out
where there's grass you'll notice he will
eat lot OF the coarsest grass he can
find, and then he goes little further
and throws it up. Now, that's his in
stinct He knows he needs medicine
because shut up like that he doesn't get
proper exercise, and most times not the
right food, either, SO he knows he's got

Dogs get a great deal of their own hair
inside of them from biting it, and those
what's in the house breathes in lot of
lint and dust of the carpets. Well, of
course, that don't digest, and they begin
chewing the doOr-mat or eating straw,
and it forms a lump that the juices IN
the stawmick makes harder and harder.

stand higher in the line of intelligence.
There is no surer evidence of a man of
fine mould and powerful mind than his
GOODNESS under great difficulties, calm
ness in positions calculated to surprise
and excite, and habit of careful thought
before acting. These points OF charac-
ter need to be studied and extended
because thsre are troublesome Ques-
tiOns still to be disposed of; there are
themes of great magnitude which are
claiming the attention of all the people,
topics which require a most thoughtful
and deliberate canvass, and then a con-
scientious action and positive decision.
If the great evils of the present day are
to be.eliminated, if the great social diff
ficulties are to be adjusted, it is
better that it should be done by that
cool thoughtful, determinated action
for which we, as people are noted. A
people enjoying the privileges of fran
chise have right to demand legisla-
ton for their general good, and for the
general welfare it is desirable when
great questions of reform are placed be-
fore the people this same GOODNESS,
calm judgement, deliberation and in
telligent thought shall characterize the
general action and control the ballot,
