The truth is that man can better af-
ford to sacrifice his dinner daily for year
than live without hope for week. And
nature has recognized that it is so. What
phrase is more common in our mouths
than the simple but signifcative II hope ?n
Nor is there any human being, howsoeyer
forlorn in material possessions or howso-
ever afflicted, who was not originally en-
dowed with this capacity of hope. Go to
the hospitals, where one might suppose it
were easy to find despair in many aspects.
The doctor will whisper to you that this
or that invalid is doomed, and that he can
not, by all the evidence of human fore
sight and experience, live one day more.
"Well, and how are you ?" you say TO the
sick man, and perhaps you cannot help be-
traying in your tone the pity you feel for
him, thus towering between two worlds,
about one of which alone, the one he is
leaving, you are able to assure yourseli
that you know anything decisive. ooh,
much better" he replies, with strong hope
In his voice and his eyes. 81 think shall
soon be well."-AH he Year Round.

a New Stula of Cinar

Much excitement has been caused BY
the introduction of new kind of cigar
into the high class clubs of London. The
ingredients of which it is composed re-
main a secret with the soi-disant inventors,
but the effect produced upon the consumer
is said to be magical. The softness of per-
fume, the aromatic flavor, and, above all,
the soothing qualities of the new cigar are
unrivaled. The one thing certain is that
there is not an atom of tobacco in the
composition. At present it is only manu-
featured in Scotland. 1t is supposed BY
more than zone who knows" that it was
brought over by the Piute Indians of Col.
Cody's troop, and that it is nothing more
than the klllikillick smoked by that tribe
the secret of which has long been pre-
served among them. DIR. Colmache, who
had dwelt among them for many years,
fancied that it was made from the thin
shayings of the willow. The men alone
are intrusted with its preparation. The
doctor describes it in the memoir he has
left as the panacea for all ills-calming the
nerves and procuring the most placid sleep,
even in the midst of raging fever. He
never could ascertain whether any other
ingredients save the willow shaving was
employed in the manufacture of the kill
killick.

The Fal e Dream of Gentility.

Two Philadelphia lawyers were turned
up last week for swindling clients. One
has fled and the other is about to answer a
rule to show cause why he should not be
disbarred. Notwithstanding the we'll
known fact that the legitimate fees for
legal business of this city have fallen off
more than one-half during the last five
years, and without any prospect of i'm
proyement, we are steadily multiplying
lawyers, and a large number of them must
either steal or starve. Our professions are
overcrowded with young men because
many of them seem to think it more gen.
teel to steal or starve than to earn a good
living by non-professional labor. Even
successful mechanics disparage their honest
and respected industry with their own
sons by encouraging them to climb or crawl
into professions, and they do it in the face
of the known fact that many of them must
steal or starve.
There are over 500 lawyers in this city
who do not earn in legitimate fees as much
as the average mechanic who works an av-
erage of eight hours per day, and most of
these pitiable dependents have no reason
able prospect of ever earning an honest
living by their profession. There is no
want for them; there is no business for
them to get, and the false dream of gen.
tility in profession ends in the sober
reality that compels them tosteal or starye.

A story Whcn SHOWS InaJ misery Is

An old man, afflicted with a spinal dis
ease that bent him almost double, was led
by an old woman along street in Hot
Springs.
"Now, Dan'l," said the woman, in soft
tones of encouragement, "you must not
give up. Just think, you'll get well after
awhile, and then we'll go back on the
farm and live like we used to-"
"No,o he answered, "rm done. Pm get

''But he amt so ole, ""Dan'r' petulantly
answered.
"Yes, he is older"
"Lift me up some way so can see him."
She turned him about and strove to get
him into position so that he could see,
but he was so bent that she could not.
Just then two men came along.
Gentlemen" said the woman, "will you
please hold my husband up SO he can see
that man hobbling over yonder ?"
They held him up. He looked, with
Frightening eyes.

Paris, there it is at every turn, looming

1t Is appreciated by all who have homes in

Quoted as to be public nuisances, demanding
abatement The Generalization Of some of the
inmates Of Soldiers Home by liquor sold to
them at certain of these places in violation of
law is notorious. The request that the Com
missioners note carefully the facts in respect
to such saloons, and stringently apply the law,
having in view the suppression at the time of
issuing licenses Of such as are found to be re-
gardless Of the police regulations, will receive
the hearty Endorsement of every law-abidine

One OF the disastrous results of the closing OF
the Chesapeake and Ohio canal is felt in the
fact that persons living along its line are now
paying twice as much for their supply Of Cum
berland coal as they did year ago. In other
words, at points where it used to be laid down
Tor two dollars and half per ton it now costs
nve dollars per ton, in consequence OF tn
higher rates Of transportation by rail. Ande
this IL but one phase Of the case. Not alone do
the producers and consumers Of coal suffer for
want Of cheap freights. Equally are the farmers
along the line and the food consumers who
draw their supplies from that quarter made to
feel the want Of competition Everything that
each class requires is greatly increased In price
in consequence of the destruction of the canal
And as time goes on these effects will be more
severely felt. The standing rule with railways
everywhere is to charge las much in all cases
as the traffic will bear" and under this rule the
scale il adjusted according to the necessities of
the victims. The greater the need tho higher
the price.
With these facts in view, one would suppose
that there ought to be found enough states
manship and business sense in the legislative
assembly of Maryland to devise some means for
rehabilitating an agency that plays so i'm
portant part in the daily life of so many of her
people. 1t will be most deplorabIe thing in
itself, and sad commentary on the intellI-
gence and patriotism of the public men of the
state, If this be not done, and right speedily.
