WHAT AN EDITOR can DO.

NJ. Leon Meunier, of the Courier
DIES Etdts Unis, devoted all his ener-
gies for years towards popularizing NJ.
Bartholdi's idea in presenting the Statue
of Liberty to the United States. In
conjunction with the late NJ. Laboulaye,
he wrote increasingly in the Paris press
that the Americans and the French
only understood the idea of popular
liberty, and by his letters he impressed
on the people of France that Americans
were not forgetful of Lafayette, Roch-
ambeau and the other representatives
of France during our Revolutionary
war. M. Meunier was delegated by
the Republic of France to convey to
the people of the United States their
warm expression on the part of the
French Republic for American Re-
publican institutions, and his knowl-
edge of American affairs in the French
press has paved the way to mutual
understanding. 1t was a proud day
for him, when, as one Of the French
visiting committee, he saw the unveil-
ing of the Statue of Liberty on l,edloe's
island, and its formal presenta ton to
the American people, on the 28th Of
October last.

HOW THEY USED TO DO.

Here are some of the "reminiscences
of Capt. Isaac Bassett, the venerable
assistant doorkeeper of the Senate:
In olden days candles were used in
the Senate and sperm candle in COM
mon brass candlestick stood on each
senator's desk. These and two large
brass oil lamps on either side of the
Vice President formed the whole light
of the chamber. I had to fill these
lamps every day and we pages had to
put the candles and candlesticks on
each senators desk. The pages had to
so around the Senate during the even
ing and snuff the candles. For this
we used big iron shutters, and during a
long night session we used two candles,
and in the middle Of it we would have
to take out the old ones and light new
ones. A night session of the Senate in
the past formed a wierd scene. The
fickering shadows would fall upon the
senator's face as he spoke, and when
the light burned low, forms would be
hardly distinguished. The mellow
lamps cast a softened light over the
marble of the chamber, and made the
whole look like aghostly Senate, pre-
sided over by spectral Vice President.

ABoUr MARTHA wAsHrraroN. .


Somebody in late Lippincott's
Magazine is responsible for the follow
ing rather unromantic statement in
regard to the wife of Washington. We
are not prepared to vouch for the
correctness of the picture drawn.
Martha Washington, the magazinist
says, was very pretty girl, but not
very good looking old woman. AS she
matured she grew stout; and, though
her pictures represent her as beauty,
the current history of the times says
she was plainly dressed, robust old
woman, who looked older than her
husband. She was not noted for her
social, nor for her intellectual qualities.
She could not spell, and probably did
not read a book from one end of the
year to the other. She was sort of
goody-goody woman, who almost
always had knitting needles in her
hands, and who thought she did great
thing when she saved the ravellings of
lot of old black stockings and worn
out chair covers and wove them into
dress for herself. She was very proud
of her husband; and they show the
little room in the second story of the
home at Mount Vernon in which she
secluded herself after his death, seeing
no one for months, and allowing only
cat to enter the room through hole
which was cut under the door.

DOES TT PAY

Three-fourths of our people are trou-
bled with Dyspepsia or Liver Comp
laint in some form or other, which by
nature of the disease has depressing
influence on the mind or body, prevent
ing them from thinking or actin e
clearly in any matter of importance.
Indigestion, coming up of food after
eating, dyspepsia, sick-headache,
acidity of the stomach or any derange-
ment of the stomach or liver upon
which the whole action Of our system
endsl are speedily and effectually
overcome by the use of Green's August
Flower. The most stubborn cases
have yielded to its influence, as thou
sands of letters received will testify.
rhe immense sale of this medicine is
another guarantee of its merits, lover
a million and a half bottles sold last
year, So we ask. will IL pay to suffer
from any of the above diseases when
you can have immediate relief in the
August Flower. Three doses will
prove its worth. 1t Is sold by all drug
gists and general dealers in all parts Of
the world.

The Advantages Of Reserve.

Nothing is so unnatural or so full Of
danger as the habit of easy and famil-
lar companionship with people who
are only known under the conditions
OF what is called society,"" conditions
which imply mutual complaisance up
to a certain point very easily reached,
conventional ease of manner, courteous
frankness of speech which need not be
very deep, superficial mutual intelli-
gence which seldom knows how far it
penetrates-though it enjoys the evil
dence of having penetrated further
than was expected alacrity in
discerning and complying with the
wishes of others. The danger consists
in the facility with which companion
ship of this kind is mistaken for true
intimacy, though it does not really
imply anything approaching to it. A
woman will sometimes marry a man
of whom she knows nothing at all ex-
cept that she has found it pleasant to
be flattered and admired by him during
a companionship of this superficial
kind. In other words, she will trust
her life to the keeping of a man of
whose aims, of whose standard of right.
and wrong. of whose power and habit
of living up to that standard she knows
just as much and just as little as she does
of the actors, whom she has seen on the
stage, though she is deceived into think
ing that she knows more, only because
she happens in this case to have been
one of the actors, and not merely
passive spectator. Society is, indeed,
sort of expedient for rubbing off the
natural and wholesome reserves which
keep people from trusting each other
till they have had real experience of
what each is made of-till they have
seen what are the objects of reverence,
what is the depth of reverence; what
is the force of practical fidelity to the
higher aims that. determine the true
character working behind the familiar
forms and faces of so-called society.
The surface of the sea on calm and
sunny day is as little of an index to the
dangers which the sea may cause, as
the familiar manner of mere society to
the deeper influences which those who
mingle in that society can exert. 1t
would be as wise to drink the deadly
juices of the belladonna because of the
beauty of the magistrates flowers, as
to welcome intimacy with many of
those whose manners in general society
are faultless and fascinating, without
knowing anything Of them beyond
those manners.
