WISE WORDS.

Confidence is plant of slow growth
in an aged bosom.
A good conscience is to the soul what
health is to the body.
Shame comes to no man unless he him
self helps it on the way.
We always like those who admire us;
we do not always like those whom we
admire.
Babylon in all its desolation is a sight
in ruins.
We generally hate those whom we have
injured more than we do those who have
injured us.
We are taught and we teach by some
thing about usthat never goes into Ian
guage at all.
Nothing is so contagious as example;
we are never either much good or much
evil without imitators.
The forms required by good breeding.
or prescribed by authority, are to be OBJ
served in social or official life.
Great effects come Of industry and
perseverance; for audacity doth almost
bind and mate the weaker sort of mind.
Nobody talks much that doesn't saw
unwise things, as no person plays much
without striking false note sometimes.
Hypocrisy is much more eligible than
open iniidelity and vice; it wears the
livery of religion, and is cautious of CIV
ing scandal.
Where painting is weakest, namely,
in the expression Of the highest moral
and spiritual ideas, there music is SUBJ
timely strong.
If you want to have man for friend,
never get the ill-will of his wife. Public
opinion is made up of the average pref
udices of womankind.
A poet ought not to pick Natures
pocket. Let him borrow, and so bor-
row as to repay by the very act OF bor-
rowing. Examine nature accurately,
but write from recollection, and trust
more to the imagination than the
memory

A novel theory of naval war proposed
BY correspondent to tho Sydney (Aus-
tralia) Herald is: "As soon as war is
declared let the New South Wales Gov
ernment purchase dozen fast steamers
Of, say, 800 tons, and convert them into
gigantic torpsdoes by placing, say, 100
tons Of gunpowder in their bows (tho
steamers to be divided into many water
tight compar tments), the vessel to be
stesrsd and the gunpowder ex xploded by
ono man in . bullet-proof tower at the
very stern, mock men being stationed
about tho ship to draw the enemy's fire
from this particular turret. Now, sir, !
am convinced that this plan could be
cheaply carried into effect. and that
there would be hundreds of applicant IS

Englishmcn and Americans, are to be
Of the party. They expect to find. a
good deal Of large game, and to en-
counter warliks Indians. At the same
time they hope to find gold and silver
mines that will surpass anything here
tofore discovered. Mr.. Cody is not
counting very much upon these latter
discoveries. He expects to get his salts

A Sulphur Spring Incubator.

There are number OF warm sulphur
springs in Elsinore, Cal, and citizen Of
that town is using them for incubating
purposes He puts tin pail flu of eggs
in spring whose temperature is 102 de-

come out. As the Temperature Of the
spring does not vary, the eggs require
no attention. This beats the patent in

Showers OF Sand Flies in Chicago.
Wherever there is an electric light

OF these ephemeral insects sometimes

lake by easterly winds, and, being
attracted by the glare of the lights. they
drop down. futter around the globes for
awhile aud then fall to the sidewalk,
where pedestrians trample them under
foot. Thousands of them, unable TO reach
the globes, are blown against the fronts

until they die or ere brushed off by porters

Thoughts Amer the Hattie.

From the Now York Post
Well, the first battle has been lost by
narrow vote. What follows7 The world
moves, either forward or backward; il does
not stand still. The victors in Tuesdays
contest can no moro stand still than the
vanquished. The responsibility for the
national finances will, after tho ith OF

party. The surplus will stare Mr.. Harrison

calls for reform in our system Of national
taxation-a tide whose impulses are not
uniclt In their own RACKS. Wo will not
anticipate the outbreak OF tariff reform in
Republican councils but we do not see
how II can bc avoided. But whether II
comes in that quarter sooner or later, this
great battle, on an entirely new issue,
which 80 narrowly escaped being n victory,
will 20 on. An audience has been secured
ut last for the principle that every man has
the right TO tho fruits of his own labor with

AN IMPORTANT CASE.
A New Step Under the Liquor Law OF
Kansas.

A New Step Under the Liquor Law Of
Kansas.
WICHITA, KAN, April 2l.-A new step
under the liquor law has been taken
which is said to be the first instance of
the kind on record. Attorney General
Halloweu has fled q petition to foreclose
q lien of $4,000 on the properly of Rosa
Weiner, large brick block on the most
prominent street Of the city. The de.
fendent had, it is claimed, knowingly
rented her property to one Rode for tee
purpose Of running what is known as
Fquor joint. This man on January IL
was convicted of violation of the liquor
law, sent to the county jsil for over two
years, and fined $4,000 and cost of
suit. The importance Of the suit
becomes apparent when 1t is remembered
that in many business blocks are found
these joints run by men irresponsible and
as willing to be paid for staying in jail
as for keeping bar. All faes and costs
against him which have thus accumulated
and now amount to large sums will be
charged to the owner and will no doubt
be enforced by execution il the case Is
decided in favor Of the state.
