Maxims for Everyday Life.

Too much Importance is self-impOrt-
ance.
You may cheat others now, but
yourself in the long run.
The greatest honor that man can
render to God is to be good to himself.
What man is deficient of in senses
he usually makes up in mulishness.
Nature is frank and will allow no
man to abuse himself without giving
him hint of it.
Remember this However small you
consider your possessions, there is
some one who envies you.
There is no luck, but there is such a
thing as hard work and knowing how
to make it answer for what others call
''luck.n
Too many young men believe that
"the world owes every man living"
and that it requires no effort on mans
part to make the collection.
No matter how low a man may get
down, there is not more than one in
every 100 of them but will prove true
to small trust if his pride be strength
ened by your seeming faith in him.
Much of the world is prejudiced
against facts, because facts stick to the
text and don't go out of the way to
concOct q palatable medium for the
worlds own genteel taste and wise
opinions.
One breach of faith will always be
remembered, no matter how loyal your
subsequent life may be. People may
imagine that they trust you, yet all the
time they have an eye to the former

Who Sets the Fashions for WOmen?

The Gainsborough hat is again COM
ing into style. Some four or five years
ago it was quite fashionable, but was
driven out Of vogue by the ridieule of
the press and sarcasm of theatre-gOers.
1t disappeared from street and parquet
for time, but has become again the
rage. Yesterday during brief inter
val of sunshine lady wearing Gains

walked on the west side of State street
from Lake to Adams. She was stared
at by ten thousand curious eyes and
was the object of ten hundred remarks
ranging from sarcasm to wonder. She
did not seem to mind it, but strOlled
leisurely along with her parasOl at an
angle of 45 degrees and hqmmed an
air from the 'MikadO." She was in no
hurry, but stopped at every other shop
window and gazed therein. She had
not walked a block before the univer-
sal feminine comment was: "The
GainsbOroughs are coming in again."
And so they are if that lady is as good

A DRUMMER WHO TALKED TOO
MUCH,

An ambitious young commercial
tourist living in one of the cities on the
middle Hudson became acquainted
with Young lady attending we'll
known seminary, whose father is an
influential citizen, and is reputed to
have a solid bank account. Having
progressed in his acquaintance with
the young lady so far as to seek and
receive an invitation to visit her at her
home during her school vacation, he
essayed to risk the danger that might
attend his reception at the paternal
domicile. Having engaged the fastest
trotters and the nattiest turnout of the
village liyeryman the tourist set out.
The ride was about six miles, and
after he had jOurneyed about half that
distance he overlook pedestrian aud
enquired if he was son the right road
to Mr.. Smiths farm house ?" Receiv-
ing an affirmative reply, the drummer
asked the farmer to ride, The latter
got in the buggy, and as soon as he
was seated the young man pulled out
his flask and asked his made
friend to imbibe. 1t was declined, and
the proffered cigar elected the response
that he never drank liquor nor smoked
nor che we'd tobacco. To this the sharp
young man rejoined by avowing his
belief that there never was a man but
what was addicted to some of the
vices. Meeting with DO contradiction
on this topic, he inquired of the strang-
er if he knew Mr.. Smith and his stand
ing in the community.

"Well, as 1 said, she is a good girl,
and one that loves her father dearly,
and obeys him in everything. You
could not obtain her hand without the
fathers consent"
"I'll see about that. I'd give more
to obtain the daughters than the old
mans CONSENT" replied the impetuOus
but undiscerning young fellow.
At this moment they were approach
ing a stately farm house, and as they
reached it's front the farmer said: 81
live here, and will get out if you
please"
The commercial man gently halted
the trOtters, and as the old gentleman
reached the ground, he said to him ::
"Now, how much further is it to Mr..
Smiths 2"
81 am Mr.. Smith, sir" replied the
farmer, sternly, "and you can drive
on, for | will not permit you to step
on my premises"

Love for Newspapers.

The following extract so well ex
presses our ideas that we think the
space it occupies will be we'll used:
"The strong attachment of subscrib-
ers to we'll conducted newspaper is
fully confirmed by all publishers.
Stop my paper words of dread to be-
ginners in business, lose their terror
after paper has been established a
few years. SO long as paper pur-
sues just, honorable and judicious
course, meeting the wants of it's Gus
toners in all respects, the ties of
friendship between the subscribers and
the papers are as hard to break by an
outside third party as the link which
binds old friends in business or social
life. Occasional defects and errors in
a newspaper are overlooked by those
who have become attached to it through
its perusal for years. They sometimes
become dissatisfied with it on account
of something which has slipped into
it's columns, and may stop taking it
but the absence of the familiar sheet
at their homes and offices for a few
weeks becomes an insupportable pri-
walton, and they hasten to take it
again, and possibly apologize for hav-
ing stepped it. No friendship on earth
is more constant than that contracted

makes an honest and earnest effort to
merit it's continued support. Hence,

Gen. STANDARDS Widow.

Mrs. Stannard, as some of our read
ers know, has been an invalid for more
than Ii years, owing to a fall upon the
iron stairs of the custom house while
Gen. Stannard was collector of GUS
toms, and consequent injury to the
spine affecting some of the nerves of
motion, so that she has not in all these
years been able to lift either hand from
her side, or to use her hands for any of
the thousand things for which even the
idlest hands are constantly employed.
1t was piteOus sight to see her stand
ing motionless by the side of the cask-
ct, unable to even wipe away the tears
which flowed so freely as she babe
farewell to the mortal part, dear even
in death, of her husband. The bunch
of beautiful dark daises which she had
brought as last offering of love, had
to be placed in the cold hand of the
general by another hand than hers.
So, as she stood by the grave in the
afternoon, it wrung many heart to
see one of the daughters lift her
mothers veil and wipe away her tears.
Mrs. StaDnard is an estimahle lady as
well as a deeply afflicted woman, and
she deserves the sincerest sympathy of
all kind and Christian hearts. May
God comfort the mourners.- Burling-

IRISH RIOTERS.

Belfast, Ireland, has been pretty
much given up to riots and rioters the
past two or three weeks. The police
have been able to accomplish little IN
the way of keeping the peace. An eye
witness of the riot Wednesday gives
the following description of the scenes
attending the mOb's attack on the
Bowers Hill police station "WOmen
with pOkers pried up the paving stones
and broke them into suitable sizes for
the use of the rioters when they ran
short of missiles. Women and young
girls desperately entreated men to con-
tinue the fighting whenever they flag
ged, offering them aprons full of fresh
stones, and when entreaty failed wOm
en- and girls drove the men on by saw
age threats. The police station is q
the mob attacked the building the po-
lice responded with volley fired from
the doorway, but the rioters soon drove
the officers in and they retreated up
stairs and there maintained the fight
on their side by shooting from the
windows of the front bedroom on the
second floor. They held their position
for half an hour, during which the bat
tie was hot and savage on both sides,
when they were reinforced by the ar
rival of 70 fresh officers: The inereas-
ed energy of the police warfare served
but to aggrayate the mob and they be-
came downright feroeious. They were
actually maddencd by the sight of
their comrades shot down, writhing
and bowling with agony in the street.
Old officers said that they never knew
mob to show greater viciOusness:
violence, pluck and determination.
Despite their desperation, the rioters
hurled their missiles with regularity
and precision, as if they had been drill
ed in stone throwing. When the men
in front had exhausted their ammuni-
ton they would retire to the rear to
receive fresh arMfqls from the women
and thus make way for their comrades
with new supplies. The battle at the
station ceased only when $50 soldiers
came to the aid of the police. The
soldiers were from the Highlanders
and Fpsileers, and they soon drove the
mob away"

Good Men to Boycott.

tasted Intoxicating liquor of any kind,
and has not the remOtest idea of what
it is like. To the threat of the brew
ers to boycott the Knights of Labor
on account of their temperance prin-
ciples, he says: "WOuld to heaven
they would. They can't do it too soon.
Nothing better could happen to our
order. | would like to see all the sa-

Baby Tigers.

In Forepaugh's menagerie there are
six as 1.-THE and brightly marked tigers
as anybody ever saw. One morning,
at daylight, the keepers were surpris-
ed by an unusual commOtion among
the cage animals. The men got out
strong ropes, lassoes, and nets, believ-
ing that some of the more formidable
of the wild beasts were out of their
dens.
They approached the wide stairs
with caution and entered the room.
The tiger den was scene of fierce con-
fusion, and the other animals shared
the excitement. The men advanced to
the front of the den, and were met
with demonstrations of anger. Lying
close to the wall in one corner was a
huge Bengal tiger, and at her side a
pair of beautifully marked cubs, with
eyes closed like a young kittens. With
cries of wonder the men gazed at the
treasures which had been born during
the night. Still they could not under
stand why all the wild beasts should
seem so restless. One of the keepers,
following the eye of a huge panther,
shouted
"Boys, look One has got out and
is on the floor !" One cub had crept
through the bars of the cage and tum
bled out and wandered around until it
had tired cut and gone to sleep. When
one of the men carefully picked it up
it uttered q feeble cry. The scene
that followed made those men, used to
danger as they are, white with fear.
| The tigers bent the bars of their cages,
and the lions r0ared in unison with
the shrieks of other animals. 1t was a
little pandemonium.
To attempt to put the cub through
the bars into the cage from which it
had fallen was certain death to who
ever undertook it, for with their long
forearm and their curved claws the
tigers would have torn to shreds what
ever had been in reach. Finally, one
of the cooler headed keepers took the
little speekled, sightless beast and
climbing up the end of the den, open
ed small hole left for ventilation and
dropped the cause of all the trouble at
the feet of it's mother. She tenderly
placed it beside her other offspring,
lay down herself, and in two minutes
the cunning looking kitten was taking
it's nourishment and everything soon
quieted down.-[Philadeldhia Times.

Americas Loss is Germany's Gain.

A New Haven gentleman just re-
turned from Europe, while in CONVEX
sation with the United States consul
in Berlin was told by the consul that
there had been q large increase of
American orders for goods in Germany
in the last few months. Asking the
reason of this, the visitor learned that
it was consequent upon the strikes and
labor troubles in the United States.
Owing to these causes the demand for
manufactured goods in Germany had
been largely augmented, as was shown
by the statistics of expectation for the
period mentioned. No doubt millions
of American dollars which otherwise
would have been paid to the American
workingmen had, owing to the labor

HOW 1T LOOKS TO OUTSIDERS.

1t is regrettable fact that few
wrong headed people in the little state
of Vermont have it in their power to
deprive the republican party in the
senate of it's most commanding and
trusted leader, and the American con-
gress of it's most sagacious and useful
member. 1t is still more regrettable
that these people seem disposed to use
the power chance has endowed them
with. The movement to elect Gov.
Smith as successor to Senator Edmunds
does not differ in its inception and
methods from any other game of poll
tics and personal ambition. Gov. Smith
has no more obvious qualifications for
the place than nine out of ten of the
new senators who are elected by ac-
cOmmOdating state legislatures every
alternate year. He seems to be pol
itician of some local popularity, and "a
degree of shrewdness acquired in life
spent in manipulating caucuses and
controlling primaries. If there were
an absolute vacancy in the senatorial
seat to which he aspires, his election
would not be an exceptional calamity.
Small men are elected to the senate
every session, and one more or less
uOcScn IiIdIUor much. DuI when the
election of Gov. Smith involves the
displacement of Senator Edmunds it
becomes a national calamity. If the
state of Vermont can afford to dispense
with him, the senate and the republi-
can party and the nation cannot. The
pretext upon which local was is made
upon Edmunds is that he is in some
way responsible for the defeat of
Blaine. Senator Edmunds probably
had and has his own views upon the
fitness of Mr.. Blaine for the presiden-
cy but it is not upon record that lie
ever obtruded them upon his party or
failed in his duty as a loyal republican.
Before and since the presidential cleo
ton he has been its most trusted lead
er. The real or imaginary old farmers
in Vermont whs arraign him for treach-

cry to his party find no precedent
for their attitude in any opinion or
action of the national republican party
or any authorized representative of it.
If Edmunds has been disloyal to the
Vermont republicans they are justified
in rejecting him. If his alleged dis
LOYALTY is to the national republican
party, his Vermont constituents should
wait for some responsible arraignment
before undertaking to punish him. The
Smith movement looks like a game of
petty personal ambition, fostered and
favored by the personal spite of de-
feated aspirant for the presidency
