THE recent death of ex-Cov. Hoffman,
of New York, at Wiesbaden, was occa-
stoned by a single effort of politeness
upon his part. For years ne has suffer
ed from heart trouble. He had been
warned against going up and down long
flights of stairs, long walks and undue
exertion of any kind. He was even to
avoid putting on his own shoes. The
day he died he was in apparently good
health. He was with his wife and child
in their sitting room at the MOTEL His
wife, who was dressed, desired to change
her slippers for pair OF buttoned boots
She called upon the child to assist her,
but her husband anticipated the child,
and bent over TO the task himself.
Scarcely had he leaned over than he fell
upon the floor and was dead in a mo-
ment.

ACCORDING to the returns of the Dem
ocratic election officials, Louisiana cast
twice as many votes for the Democratic
candidate for Governor a week ago as
she did for President Cleveland in 1884,
while the Republican vote is said to be
about equal to that cast in 1884. Gov.
McEnery's instructions to his returning
officers throughout the State, 'See to it
that your parish returns large Demo
cratic majority" were obeyed to the let
ter. But they made it little too unan-
imous too look well. No party ever
honestly polled twice as many votes for
Governor as for President in any State,
with an interval of less than four years
between the elections. The Louisiana
election was a colossal fraud.

GRAINS OF GOLD.

SANDER is the solace of malignity.
Keep your own secrets if you have any
Never morning wore to evening but
some heart did break.
If you utter affronting speeches, you
will have to hear them.
In better year we will find our young
years and our old friends.
Judge of people by their questions
rather than by their answers.
An effort made for the happiness of
Others lifts us above ourselves.
To see what is right and not do it is
want OF courage or of principle.
One must study to know, know to un-
derStand, understand to Judge.
All controversies that can never end
had better perhaps never begin.
Do not anticipate trouble, or worry
about what may never happen. Keep
in the sunlight.
Slander meets no regard from a noble
mind; only the base believe what the
base only utter.
Heavens gates are not so highly arch
ed as princes palaces; they that enter
there must 60 upon their knees.
They asked Lokman, the fabulist,
From whom did YOU learn manners! He
answered, From the unmannerly.
Nothing is rarer than solitary lie;
for lies breed like Surinam toads; you
cannot tell one but ont come hundred
young ones.
He that fancies himself very enlight-
ened because he sees the deficiencies of
others may be very ignorant, because he
has not studied his own.
In the same degree that we overrate
ourselves, we shall underrate others; for
injustice allowed at home is not likely
to be corrected abroad.
Wouldst thou learn 10 die well? learn
first TO live well. Acknowledge thy ben
elits b. the return of other benefits, but
never revenge thy injuries.
Nc company is far preferable to bad,
because we are more apt to catch tie
vices of others than their virtues, as dis
ease is far more contagious than health.

INFANTILE SKIN DISEASES.

Our eldest child, now six years of age, when an
infant six months cld was attacked with vrulent,
malignant skin disease. All ordinary remedies
fa;ling,we called our family physician, who attempt
ed 10 cure it; but it spread with almost incredible
rapdty, until tie lower portion of the little fel
lows person, from the middle of the back down to
his kneeswas one solid risl-ugly, painful blotcl-
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
clOuS. In three OF four weeks complete cure was
wrought, leaving the little fellows person White
and healthy as though he had never been attacked.
In my OPINION yOur valuable remedies saved his
life, and to-day he is strong, healthy child, per
fectly well, no repetition having ever occurred.

WILL 1888 BE \ YEAR OF WAR:
Philadelphia inquirer.
The present is the fifth of modern
times in which the aggregate Of the fig
ures is p, and there viii be but five
more years in which sGcha combination
is possible prior to the year 2599. Prob
ably but few have ever heard of the old
prophecy, which runs as follows:
When the sum Of the figures is twen-
ty-fve. some warlike kingdom will draw
the sword.
But peaceful nations in peace shall
thrive.
Students of modern history viii read
ily recall how faithfully this prophecy
has been fulfilled in the four previous
years to which it applied.
In 1859 Russia, Denmark and Poland
formed the coalition against Sweden
which inaugurated the war that ended
in the disastrous defeat Of Charles MI
at Pultowa. The year 1889 will ever be
memorable on account of the breaking
ont of the French revolution.
The year 1898 witnessed the campaign
of Bonaparte in Egypt and the forma-
tion Of the second European coalition
against France. In 1879 war broke out
between England and Afghanistan, fol
lowed by the invasion of the latter coun-
try by British troops. In what manner
the prediction is to be verified in 1888
remains yet to be seen, but the present
condition of EJIrODn seems to nrOJniSp
an abundant fulilment Of the prophecy.

THERE is no happiness in the world
equal to that Of blessing others. Not
only By giving money to the needy, help
to the sick, food to the hungry, is this
blessing compassed; we gain it as we
give it, by sympathy, by affection. by
seeing that which is best in our friends
and shutting our eyes to that which is
worst, and by taking joy in their good
things, even when our own portion is
scant and poor.
