GEN. JOHN A. LOGAN.
From Congressman Thomas b. Reeds
Memorial Address.

From Congressman Thomas b. Reed s
Memorial Address.
When | first knew him in Wash
ington, l. years ago, Logan had just
experienced the ingratitude OF re-
pnblics. Cast out from his seat
in the Senate, with the refuent tide
of popular feeling setting strong
against him, with the blood ofyouth
no longer in his veins, and with the
lessening years before him, he faced
the furure. He VAS neither silent
nor accomplishing. The men who
meet adverse fate with silence and
smile are story-book heroes, not
real men. Logan was a hero OF old
Homerio type. He made the well
kin ring when the world went wrong
for him, and the world liked him be-
cause he was so intensely hu-
man. With iron courage he set
himself to retrieve his fallen fort

ier of his future. The history of
his success needs no repetition.
Eight years afterward / saw him
in the full sunlight of prosperity.
1t was under the beautiful Summer
sky of Maine. He had just been
victorious in the greatest civic battle
of his life. He had there shown the
great qualities which had added
Unreasonable to his fame. Through
the rare days of that week of June,
surrounded by the shouting thous
ands, thronged by his old comrades
in arms, amid the strains of martial
music and the incense of honest
admiration. surely he had a right
to be happy, if happiness be for
mortal man. Under the genial I'M
pulses of those bright days all the
nobler qualities of his nature came
out, and / was amazed to find that

THE VALUE OF TRUTH.
Balto. Sun.

Very few politicians and very few
editors realize the importance Of be
ing strictly truthful, candid and ex-
act in statement. Some men, with
no intention to deceive, are careless
and inexact, or SO exaegerate that
they weaken their credit and find
themselves unable to convince their
hearers of truth that justifies and
requires strong expressions. Their
statements are received with dis
trust; proverbial allowances are
made on everything they say, and
unconsciously, perhaps, the victim
of this bad reputation makes allow
ance for the discount and increases
his extravaganza of statement to
enforce belief. In contrast with such
men may be set others who are re-
served in their talk, deal in ambig-
uous expressions. and pretend 10
knowledge they do not possess.
They, too, awaken distrust Of dif-

THE ROBBER GULLS AND THE
DUCKS.
Poland oregonian, Jan. lS.


A number ofpeople amused them
selves for some time yesterday by
watching the operations of a band of
shelldrakes, or fish ducks, off the
foot of b street. There were about
a dozen thieveing gulls to each
duck, swimming around after them
and occasionally pecking at them,
evidently to make them dive for
fish. When duck went down the
gulls kept a bright look out for il
and if it brought up a fish they
FASTENED to steal it. The duck
would do the best it could,and would
sometimes succeed in swallowing
the fish. but if it was large one
the gulls would generally succeed
in getting it away. and then they
would fight and tear it from one an
other till 1t seemed as if none OF
them got any good of it. The gulls
mad an eye ON the steamboats, along
the river bank, and if anything was
thrown over from one away they all
would go, but they would soon re-
turn to watch the ducks leaving a
few to fight over the crusts from the
boat. The gulis seemed TO enjoy
stealing and fighting better than
eating, and presented a pretty spec
tacle as they chased each other.

The symptoms of Biliousness are
unhappiIy but two well known.
They differ in different individuals
to some extent. a Bilious man is
seldom breakfast eater. Too frc-
quently, alas, he has an excellent
appetite for liquids but none for sol
ids Of morning. His tongue will
hardly bear inspection at any time;
il 1t is not white and furred. il is
rough, at all events.
The digestive system IS wholly
out of order and Diarrhea or Cousii-
patton may be a symptom or the
two may alternate. There are often
Hemorrhois or even loss of blood.
There may be giddiness and often
headache and acidity or fatulsncc
and tenderness in the pit Of the
stomach. To correct all this II not

Seven Rounds for Love.

George Cowley and Howard Wheeler,
two East Boston young men, have recently
been paying attentions to the same young
woman. She has divided her affections so
as to allow one of her lovers to accompany
her on one day and the other on the next.
Although it was pleasant for the young
lnamorata the young men themselves began
to show jealous feelings. Cowley had her
out for a promenade, when Wheeler met
them on the street. He rushed up and
accused his rival of cutting him out on
the quiet. The latter replied; I've got
her and what are you going to do about it? +"
A large crowd of spectators gathered, and
the indications were that lively alterca-
ton was to take place. Each principal
was surrounded by his friends. some urging
one method to fight and others another
The two pulled off their coats to have a
fight IN Maverick square, but were pre-
vented. The young woman, when ap-
pealed to, declared that she did not know
which one she loved the best. A most
ludicrous scene then ensued. Cowley said
to the girl: DO you love me?" and she
answered yes" Wheeler at this shouted
angrily, Don't you love me:" Il do, 1
do, :" was the reply, The young men then
agreed to settle the trouble by going to Q
vacant lot and fighting it out, the girl con-
senting to accept the victor. The police,
however. put stop to this and the party
repaired to we'll known club-room. The
principals were stripped naked, except that
they wore pair of drawers. The referee
was we'll known base ball sporting man.
The fight was bloody one. and it was not
until seven rounds had been fought that
Wheeler was declared the winner. He had
so completely knocked his opponent out
that he was ,lnconcious for nearly an hour.
Both principals were badly injured, but
the victor was able to dress himself and
escort the young woman who had been the
cause of the battle to her home. She had
been waiting in an ante-room during the
whole of the fight.

Found u Quiet Place.

A nervous looking man went into a
store the other day and sat down for half
an hour or SO. when clerk ask him if she
could do anything for him. He said no,
he didn't want anything. She went away
and he sat there for half an hour longer.
when the proprietor went to him and asked
him if he wanted to be shown anything.
No, said the nervous man. Il just wanted
to sit around. My physician has recon-
mended quiet for me, and he says above
al! things should avoid being in crowds.
Noticing that you did not advertise in the
newspapers thought that this would be as
quiet a place as 1 could find. so I just
dropped in for few hours isolation" The
merchant picked up bolt of paper cam
brio to brain him. but the man went out.
He said all he wanted was quiet life.
