teresting to tell-of daring deeds on
either side; of the manner in which
battles were lost and won; of the mis-
takes or failures of Generals under
either flag; of adventures and escapes;
of dangers and difficulties, of the dis
tinguished men North and South, whose
names will forever be associated with
the great war, the public is eager to
listen. The overwhelming rush of war
literature and the anxiety of a new gen.
Grafton to learn of these not distant
scenes and days proves what deep in
terest is still felt in the war, not, how
ever, as a sentiment, but as a ''cause''
Only the old and middle-aged, and
not all of them by any means, share
the feelings of Senator Frye, Robert
Toombs and the politicians that beat
the old war drums to Indifferent ears.
Senator Frye's confession, even more
than Beecher's eulogy, proves to the
wayfaring man that the ''war is over''.

A FUNNY STUDY.
The Functions Of the Internal Orrans
According to Chinese Science.

The Functions Of the Internal Orrans
According to Chinese Science.
The study of anatomy in China is
something funny. This branch is
taught by diagrams. The Chinese
doctors never dissect. According to
the charts which represent the Chinese
ideas OF the internal organs, which
have been handed down from ages
back, the trachea or windpipe goes to
the heart. and from there three tubes
radiate to the liver, spleen and kid
neys. The esophagus, or food passage,
goes to the stomach. Even . China
man could hardly miss that connec-
ton.
Ihe lungs are represented as hang
ing to the spinal column and as being
white in color, perforated with holes
for letting in air. The kidneys are
likewise hitched to the backbone. The
small intestines play the part of a con-
nection between the heart and the
bladder, while the large intestines are
attached to the lungs The spleen con-
meets with the stomach as kind of ell.
and the liver, according to Chinese
anatomy, is an immense organ with
seven lobes. Such thing as the nery-
GUS system is not known.
Chinese medical books teach that the
chest is the vital center, the seat of ioy,
pleasure and health In the brain is
located the principle of perfection. The
liver is the abode of the soul, and con-
trois the formation of schemes and en-
tefprises. The gall bladder is the
! region whence comes the supply Of
courage.-Cor. st. Louis Globe Demo.

The Slick Piano.

1t has long been known that certain
f1int-stones emit a musical note when
struck with other flints; and, NJ. Baudre,
French musician, has constructed a
piano on this principle. The ffnts are
chosen according to their pitch when
struck, and suspended horizontally by
their two ends in arrow like the keys of a
piano. An elegant metal framework
supports the stones, and wires are used
to suspend them. A sounding-board is
placed fraction of an inch below the
row of stones. Tunes are played by
means of two smaller flints held in the
hands The stone which emits the
greatest tone weighs four and one-haH
pounds; that which gives the correspond
ing half-tone weighs nine pounds. This
large flint is Immediately followed by
one weighing one ounce. A three
ounce stone in the set gives the same
note as another weighing six thousand
grains; so that il, is not alone the size Of
the stones, but other properties, which
affect the sounds.-h. Y Christian Ad-
yOclte,

THE CONFLICT rs ENDED.
A Grand Spectacle Which "History Ha

"A Grand Spectacle Which "HistOry Has
Never Had to Record Before.
AS rule the Southern people are
not admirers of the Puritans, and they
may perhaps at first be startled at the
Rev. Henry Ward Beechcr's cutting
them so, as he did at the Brooklyn
New England dinner. But they are
not likely to lay it up against him
when they comprehend the splendid
compliment he paid them.
He defined the P;iritans as those who
insisted on making themselves instru-
ments in the correction of abuses no
matter at what sacrifice: who refused
to be led away from these aims and
who had the will power to carry them
out at any cost. There are," he said,
"men in Ireland to-day as good Puri-
tans as the world ever saw Every
man, no matter where he lives, does
the best he can without counting the
cost-every such man he reckoned
among the great brotherhood of the
Puritans.
There are great many Puritans in
Georgia and South Carolina, he said,
who meant right but who made mis-
takes. But though they saw every
! thing passing away from them, their
, sons slaughtered, their wealth disap-
pearing, they showed heroism which
the historian ought to celebrate. He
continued:

their spheres. and I. born AbolitionIst, 1 who

Senator Frye, of Maine, responded
to the toast ''the State of Maine. In a
bright and incisive speech, but he
couldn't let the chance go by without
growing in an undertone at Beecher's
Sentiments He had his choice of sew
eral subjects, he said, among them
"the heroes of the late civil war;, but
he took the Estate of Maine" instead,
because he was reminded Gin these
piping times of peace and reconcllla'
ton nothing is to be said about loyalty
and treason; flowers are to be scattered
on the graves of the blue and the gray
alike; the battleflags must be furlec
and put away in dark places, and
neither on platform nor in pulpit is il
proper to talk of rights secured anc
sealed by the blood of brave soldiers.
Dir. Beecher's remarks were loudly
applauded and so were Senator Frye
confessions that the war is over; II no

people. He is certainly right. Th'

THE ENGINEERS STORY.
Two Red Lights on the Track Look Like
Mountain of Red Stone.

Two Red Lights on the Track Look Like
Mountain of Red Stone.
''Ever ride on an engine on a dark,
stormy night, eh? Have you learned
what red light meansP L remember
one bleak, dreary night in the winter
of 1877, was running on the Erie.
We were behind time, and wer, skim
ming down the hill toward Alden,
when we rounded the curve end saw
what seemed to be blaze of red lights
before us. 1t seemed to me that the
country was on fire. My heart jumped
into my throat, and thought my time,
had come. I reversed my lev.r, put
on the air-brakes, and opened the
throttle wide. My fireman had jump

let one brief prayer escape from my
lips, and felt a terrible jarring.
"At first it flashed through my mind
that we had struck, but as / heard the
jarring of the wheels / found that we
were almost at a dead stop, the wheels
slipping on account of the force of the
steam which had run up. Just about
two feet from us was the caboose of a
freight train which we would have run
into had we not stopped in time. After
the excitement was over one Internal
fool of a passenger came up and asked
why we had stopped so quick, swear
ing at both the road and myself for
stopping trains SO quick. The cylinders
of my engine cut a little on account of
the cinders which were drawn in
through reversing, but beyond that no
damage was done.
"9ou can bet your bottom dollar,
my boy, that the two red lights on the
back of that caboose looked to me that
night more like great mountain of
red stone on the track than they did
like two inoffensive crimson lights. -

THE REFORM RECORD.

What Has Been Accomplished Since the
Democracy Commenced to Get into
Power.
In the course of the debate On the re-
vision of the rules, the Hon. Samuel j.
Randall said: ssSince the House has
been under Democratic control there
has not been an acre of land or dol
lar of subsidy appropriated This is
true to the letter and line. When the
Democracy, after years of exclusion
from power, obtained, during the sec
Ond Administration of General Grant,
the control of the House of Represent
atives, every department of the Gov
ernment was reeking with corruption.
Robson ruled the Navy, and the plum
derers in that branch Of the service
were supreme Belknap was at the
head of the War Department, and the
swindlers who had fastened themselves
there were robbing Ri ght and left. The
Star-Route thieves were pillaging the
Post-office. The land-stealing corpora
tions had full swing in the Interior De-
partment. The whisky men were
tapping the Treasury. On every hand
were to be found bribery, fraud and
general raseality. The accession of the
Democracy to the control OF the House
of Representatives brought the long de-
bauch of corruption to an end.
AS Mr.. Randall said: "Not an acre
of land OF a dollar of subsidy was ap-
propriated. The Republican party
gave to corporations like the Pacific
Railroad companies territories almost
as large as some of the European
States. 1t gave the same corporations
sssubsidies' amounting to the revenues
of European monarchs. In all history
no parallel can be found to the carni-
val of Republican corruption that set
in during the period Immediately follow
inc the war era. When Samuel j. Ran
dali raped the last session of the
Forty fourth Congress to order as
Speaker the Republican raids on the
Treasury came to an end. In the
| Forty-fifth and Forty-sixth Congresses
the splendid record of Democratic
economy and honesty which he was so
| instrumental in inaugurating was con-
| tinued, and the victories that have
| since followed the party in nearly
every State in the Union were made
possible. To-day only few votes il
| the Senate stand between the Democ
racy and the complete control of the
| Government. 1t would be the suprem
est folly to reverse or abandon policy
which has accomplished so much in sc
short time.-N 7. World

READING FOR THE YOUNG.
"SMALL AND TRIFLiNG."

In your hand you hold an acorn,
Deeming it worthless thing,
And you cast it from your keeping.
Rain, and dew. and sunlight, bring,
Slowly, surely, an awakening
To the acorn 8 little heart,
Till the tiny germ within it
Makes q sudden, silent start.
Timo goes on. You have forgotten
ALI about the little shell.
Which, as years slip into decades,
Works its secret mission we'll.
Ah. could you but read the future,
See what coming years can tell.
You would scarce believe the wonders
Springing from that acorn shell!
First you see como slowly peeping
From tho ground tiny eprOut;
Soon 'twould bs a tender sapltng,
Sending budding leaflets out
Then YOU d see. AS years passed onward,
What, as boy, you'd thrown away
Making cool and grateful shadow
For your silvered head some day.
You would see the forest growing
Round the grand old parent tree:
Hear the woodmans s axe resoundinG,
And the busy builders see
at their work on ship and dwelling:
See the vessel proudly glide,
Carrying q precious burden
Ger the ocean wild and wide.
All. my boys, we can not always
From csItSe judge its effect.
Grand results may lie safe hidden
In some duty you neglect
Just because twas small and trit1ing.
So, my lads, just watch; you'll see
All through life that uritteS often
Make or mar a destiny.

Value of a Mellow Soil.

One of the mem bers of the Elmira
Farmers Club stated, at recent
meeting of the Club. that the best
crop of potatoes he ever had was ON
land which he cultivated and plowed
eight times. Thorough and deep pull
verization is especially valuable as a
preparation for planting potatoes.
We haye found that a single subsoil
witha light two-hQrse subS)il pillow, in
addition to the ordinary plowing, in
creased the crop of tubers from 20 to
80 per cent If the season happened
to be dry, it pre- vented the effects of
drouth; if it was wet, it received and
held the surplus water till wanted.
An old farmer, in past years, was
asked the secret of his uniformly lux
urant crops. He replied Il tell my
men to harrow the ground till they
think it is narrowed twice as much as
it ought to be, and | then tell them it
is not harro wed half enough Every
thing else was of course pretormed in
the same thorough manner.

Do you not see that this high license
movement strikes at the heart of the
best homes in America? that it propos-

that it is at war with the most beauti-

trying to make the world better, and
let journalists tell it by pen AMI type
that this day in the presence of my
NJ Maker and my Judge [ stamp on this
high-license movement as the monop-
