GRAINS OF GOLD.
Watch over yourself.
Worth creates enemies.

Watch over yourself.
Worth creates enemies.
Be your own accuser, then your Judge.
The most difficult thing in life is to
know yourself.
The body of a sensualist is the coffin
of dead soul.
If there was no future life, our souls
would not thirst for it.
What honesty is in deeds sincerity is
in words-the best policy.
Losses are comparative, imagination
only makes them of any moment.
Thou mayst esteem man of many
words and many lies much alike.
Every absurdity has a champion to
defend it; for error is always talkative
The most amiable people are those
who least wound the self-Iove of Others
The more honest our intentions are
the less suspicious are we of Others de-
signs.
Boast not thyself of tomorrow; for
thou knowest not what day may bring
forth.
Too much sensibility creates unhappi-
ness, too much insensibility creates
crime
One seldom speaks of the virtues
which one has, but much oftener of that
which fails us.
The heart that is soonest awake to the
flowers is always the soonest to be touch
ed by the thorns.
Look well into thyself; there is a source
which will always spring up if thou wilt
always search there.
A man who loves only himself and his
pleasures is vain, presumptuous and
wicked even from principle.
Art, as far as it has ability, follows ma
ture, as pupil initiates his master; thus
your art must be, as it were, Gods grand
child.
Positiveness is most absurd foible.
If you are right, it lessons your triumph;
if in the wrong, it adds shame to your
defeat.
Sensibility would be good FORTRESS
if she had but one hand; with her right
she opens the door to pleasure, but with
her left to pain.

TNFANTILE SKIN DISEASES.

Our eldest child, now six years of age, when an
infant six months old was attacked with virulent,
malignant skin disease. All ordinary remedies
failing,we called our family physician who attempt
ed to cure it; but it spread with almost incredible
rapidlty, until the lower portion of the little fel
lows person, from the middle of the back down to
his knees was one solid Tash-ugy painful blOtcll-
ed and malicious. We had no rest at night no
peace by day. Finally, we were advised to try the
Cuticura Remedies The effect was simply mary
elOuS. In three or four weeks complete cure was
wrought, leaving the little fellows person as white
and healthy as though he had never been attacked
In my Opnon your valuable remedies saved his
life, and to-day he is strong, healthy child per-
fectly well, no repetition having ever occurred.

In the South the Prohibitionists are
very rampant, but they keep out of the
way of the Democratic party. They
have just resolved in Mississippi not to
run an electoral ticket. In the North,
however, the Prohibition ticket is marked
as scheme to catch Republican votes
and detain them from going to the Re
publican party. The Prohibition ticket
is therefore put in the field and operated
in the interest of the Democratic party

"KIND words never die" An old
lady in Virginia goes into her orchard
every evening and, turning her face
toward the North, prays fervently for
the recovery of General Sheridan. 1t
seems that during the war her son, a
Confederate soldier, was the recipient of
some acts of kindness at the generals
hands while prisoner within the Fed
eral lines. The boy was badly wounded,
but lived long enough to tell his mother,
who had come to him, how humanely he
had been treated, and this the old lady
has never forgotten.

Mr.. EvARTs emphasized in his Mari
eta Grafton last week, the securing of
the Northwest for freedom by the New
England settlers who, rather than take
the indefinite promise that in dozen
years slavery should be abolished West
of the Alleghenies, insisted that their
part of the West should be free ground
Immediately and forever. That Secur-
ing of the Northwest for freedom was a
pivotal point in our nations history.
The affiliations of the Northwest terrific
ry were at first decidedly more with the
South than with New England, and there
was danger of the introduction and com
plete domesticatiOn of slavery there; but
even the settlers from Virginia and Ken
lucky believed in the dignity of free
labor, and the people of the Territory
were almost unanimous in their approx
al of the act excluding slavery. If
slavery had got a foothold North
of the Ohio river then, it would,
in all human probability, be in posses
sion of half the Continent now.

THE bill to place John c. Fremont on
the retired list of the army, with the
rank of Major General, passed the Sen
ate last week by vote that was almost
strictly defined by party lines. Only
five Democrats had the good sense and
courage to defy the party whip and do
honor to old theP Pathfinder, to honor whom
is to honor not only the principles that
he represented in 1856, but also Ameri-
can enterprise and courage and culture.
Senator Wilson, of Iowa, got in a
very neat retort on Senator COckrell,
when the latter was opposing the bill on
the ground that it was class legislation
s'Didn't you vote to put Fitz John Por-
ter on the retired list of the army?" said
Mr.. Wilson. "That was an exceptional
case" shouted Cockrell. "Will you point
out the difference, except that Fitz John
Porter had been court-martialed for
treason and Gen. Fremont had not?"
That, as the boys say, was corker. The
measure now goes to the House.

A BLAZING TIME.

Chicago's Fire-Fighters Have an Exciting
Experience Subduing Confagration In
Which q Large Business Block and Sew
eraI Tenements were Observation-Disclosures
Firemen Seriously Injured.
CHICAGO, March 3O-Shortly after mid.
night fire destroyed the Davis & Rankin
block, at Lake and Peoria streets, to.
gether with several tenement houses and
cottages adjoining, causing loss of about
$500, 600. The block was fve-story brick
125x150, and was occupied by half dozen
firms, the largest being Davis q Rankin,
dealers In creamery supplies. In the
building were also Zimmerman q
Co., refrigerator manufacturers; Line,
Weaver 81 Co., fruit cans; the
Goss Printing and Press Company,
Lintholm Picture Frame Company, Chica-
60 Egg Condensing Company and the
Steele Keye Drive Chain Company. The
fire wasa furious one and Ali alarm
called out thirty engines. The blazing
building lowered above nest of closely
huddled frame houses, occupied mostly by
workingmen. These little houses sur
rounded the big block, and every wall
crushed home. The fire was one of Incl
dents, narrow escapes Of firemen follow
ing each other in quick succession, and it
was remarkable that no one was
killed. Marshal Murphy, with COM
panies Nos. IT and 81, made
his way to the fourth floor, while
truck 2's men were on the floor below.
Suddenly there was an explosion of hot
air that knocked down every man on the
fourth floor. All were badly bruised. The
names OF the men are: Assistant Marshal
Murphy, Captain Anderson, Lieutenant
S1oat, Pipeman John Mcdonald, Pipeman
j. J. Leahy, Pipeman John Goodman,
Pipeman William Cannon and Driver Ben
Allison, OF No. II, and Captain Weber,
Lieutenant Lynch and Pipemen Haas,
Kelly and Lesser, of No. 81, and Pipeman
Kirkland, of No. IS. Anderson and Kirk
land were the most badly used, but all
scrambled down the stairway and escaped.
Most of them remained on duty, though it
will be some days before they recover
from the effects Of the explosion. The
total loss will probably reach $500, 600.
Davis g Rankin owned the building,
which cost them $4,000 two years ago.
The owners had over $4,000 worth OF
stock, machinery and fixtures. The build
ing and stock were insured for $4,000.
Goss q Co. lose 0,0O0, insured for $25,-
600. The loss of the other firms will
bring the figures up TO about $500, 900. No
one seems to know what started the ere,
but the Watchman Is sure it started on the
top floor.

to deal with that has been experienced in
