LAST EVENINGS SUNSET.

"What a beautiful sunset!" was the
exclamation that rose to many hun
dred lips last evening. Itwas indeed
sunset that the pencil of the artist
or the pen of the poet could alone
perpetuate.
Above the mighty river that flowed
in silent majesty to the sea, there
hung long lines of clouds in most
fantastic form, Lofty minarets and
tapering spires; ripping seas and
mountain peaks; graded slopes and
trim terraces, were all represented in
the cloud continents that hung in the
blue aerial ocean above where the
sun was sinking in splendor. Molten
gold and glowing scarlet and deepest
crimson threw their reflected color
on the town below and lit up the
eastern sky with a borrowed glory,
and as though shifted by celestial
hands the scenery changed, each
moment more beautiful, till the blaze
of vivid color faded into the gray of
twilight and the blue and silver of
the night; while on the hillside was
the rustling murmur of the breeze
among the frs, mingled with the
sounds of the sea, as though Nature
were running her hand over the key
board of creation, striking
here and there chord, before COM
mencing the majestic symphony of
the night, when the great arches of
light shall have been lifted into upper
ether, and half of our swinging little
planet lies wrapped in shadow.
And then as if answering "Here" to
their names at Gods eternal roll-call
the stars stepped out into the blue
vault above and stood in glittering
consultations, their eyes twinkling
as though in tears over the poor NOR
tails below who were getting out a
newspaper for fifteen cents a week
and catching salmon for ninety cents
apiece and doing lots of other things
that those starry sentinels nightly see.

Last Friday E. S. Bramhall, post
master at Aims, Clackamas county,
had occasion to visit the cabin of
John Gestler, WHO ilived alone on q
homestead some distance from the
settlement. Receiving no response to
his knock, Bramhall opened the door
of the cabin. Sitting in a chair
tilted back against the wall of the
cabin was the body of Gestler. From
all appearances it had been dead for
five or six weeks. Everything in the
cabin was in order, and there was no
appearance of foul play. Gestler was
a German, 40 years of age.

The distressing accident to Scudder
the Rutgers student, who accidentally
sat down on bar, ought to revive the
old sendentary school Of students once
more. That physical exercise is absolutely
necessary to mental growth, is not born
out by facts. Not one of our greatest
authors have been gymnasts; while many
have ACKNOWLEDGED that the strengthening
of the body only increases the animal
spirits which are ever at enmity with
mental pursuits. That great mind can
dwell and think and act in a sickly body
is beyond question; nor has the race OF
students become mentally brighter since
the so-caled physical sciences have been
taught 10 colleges. The great mental
superiority OF women students over men
is. we think, due entirely to the fact that
they pay less attention to bodily exer-
else. Violent exercises, and all the hard
outdoor sports are good enough for child
rem, but they do not become men. A
three mile walk every day is all the ply
steal exercise student requires. This
is not the popular view of the matter,
but it is the only sensible one.-7rsnton

CLARK PLERsoN, Editor.

Congressman Buchanan in speech in
the House Of Representatives on the Goth
ultimo, said that he had addressed the
cashiers of the four banks in Trenton
asking for information as to the amount
checked out each week from them for
pay roll purposes by manufacturing es-
adjustments keeping their accounts with
them. Only the larger establishments
check out sums in this way, but from
them, the banks replied, that the amount
paid out every year for wages is $6,901,-
$50. This is certainly doing well, though
it gives but faint idea of how many
thousands Of dollars are paid out every
week in this city in wages. Trenton

Mr.. Leon Albeit fought the High Lii

GRAFT that he is, while it was before the
Legislature of New Jersey, and he is 60
ing to keep on fighting it now that it is a
law. says the New York mail and Ex-
press. > He has been appointed special
counsel for the Liquor Dealers Asso-
citation, and has advised his clients that
the law is unconstitutional. One dealer
will be selected to violate the law, in

Gov. Albeit will push it as far as he can.
This ought to suit the Republicans. The
sooner the constitutionality of the law

and meantime, it will have to be obeyed
until the court declares it unconstitu-
tional--a time that may never come.

Consnmntion Durable.

1t cannot be too often impressed on
every one that the much dreaded con-
sumption (which is only lung scrofula),
is durable, if attended to at once, and that
the primary symptoms, so often mistaken
as signs of diseased lungs, are only symp.
toms of an unhealthy liver. To this or
gan the system is indebted for pure
blood, and to pure blood the lungs are in
debted no less than to pure air for healthy
action. If the former is polluted, we
have the hacking cough, the hectic flush,
night-sweats, and whole train of symp-
toms resembling consumption. Rouse
the liver to healthy action by the use of
DR.. Perce's Golden Medical Discovery,
take healthy exercise, live in the open
air and all symptoms Of consumption
will disappear. For weak lungs, splitting
of blood, shortness of breath, chronic
nasal catarrh, bronchitis, asthma, severe
coughs and kindred affections, 1t is most
wonderful remedy.

MR.. PHELPS ON PROTECTION.

The Eclectic Club, of Trenton, an or
ganization OF colored men, celebrated
its tenth anniversary with a banquet
last week. Among the invited guests
were Fred Douglass, William Walter
Phelps, Congressman j. Hart Brewer,
and ex-State Senator John Taylor. Mr..
Douglas spoke on "The Present Duty !"
Mr.. Phelps responded to the toast
Protection Essential to the Develop
ment and Maintenance of American In
dustries.' "Your Southern masters, :"
he said, put into their rebel constitu-
tion two great principles: Liberty for
the white men only; tariff for revenue
only" They are twin relics Of secession
and the one ought to be as hateful TO
yon as the other. There is no more inn
portant principle TO the colored race
than protection, which is an assured
thing, if nothing else. A large host of
the colored race" said Mr.. Phelps,
fought for liberty, and large host
voting with the Republicans have an
chored it safely in the heart of the Con-
stitution. But what is liberty without
the means to support life and the op-
rortunity to enjoy liberty?
The colored race for many years
must live by labor aud must receive
their money in the shape of wages. By
protection alone can they get any work
except farm work. By protection alone
can they get any wages which will make
life worth living or liberty good fol
anything except to starve on. The
United States alone has genuine pro
lection. Destroy the American system
of protection and our workingmen mus
live on the same wages as foreigners.
I'm the North colored men suffel
equally with white men, for in the Nortl
labor is honorable, and black and white
share its burdens and its honor, but il
the South the colored man suffers alone
To protect the race in the South as wei
as the North the colored men must helE
to retain the tariff, which will carr,
manufacturers South"
