CoLE's MILL, NAV 27th. 1885


ED. REPoRTER-I noticed with some
degree OF surprise and regret the CON-
munications In last weeks REPORTER
from "Jolly Joe" and "Cruse." They
needlessly and unprovokedly cast un-
kind reflections upon the character OF
both Mr.. C. B. McMeans and myself.
"Jolly" seems to think the nom de
plume "Dave' synonym for moral
cowardice and political depravity. At
least, we gather this Interpretation from
the vein of his argument.
We repudiate his ungracious epithets
and we repudiate and loathe the man
who wrote them. His article indicates
that he Is sadly wanting in several very
important qualifications that 90 to make
up wise and discreet man. His gener.
GUS explosions cannot hurt McMeans
but will only add strength to the ticket
Nobody has ever questioned HE Democ.
racy and, where he is best known, he is
most appreciated.
As to "Cruse" we will not notice his
puny attempt At wit. 1t must have been
frost bitten. Wait till August, "Cruse, y

Sent Back to Dine.
Exon. the YOUTHS Companton,


In the days of President Van Buren, the
French government took extraordinary pains
TO be popular in Washington. This was no
hard task, for he romantic memory of Lafay-
cite had in no wise died away among our repre-
sentative citizens This was the time when the
duties on foreign goods were heavily imposed
to raise revenue to support the government.
The wary French king hoped to have the duty
made light upon French silks and wines
1t was probably more than a coincidence that
at tn S crisis the Prince de Joinviile the son of
the king made a visit to this country, and
naturally he went to Washington. The Presi-
dent accustomed then, as since, courteouSly to
receive distinguished guests, invited the French
prince to dinner
For some insufficient reason the invitation
was respectfully declined. Very soon the prince
returned to France. In the meanwhile the
French government, informed of de Joinville's
refusal to dine at the white house. made great
stir. Here was an afront to a rising power
which might well be construed into an inter
national insult. The French sprig of royalty
was ordered Immediately back to accept an in
vitation and dine with the President of the
United States
In the meanwhile Gen. Harrison had died in
office and Mr. Tyler was the President The
French ambassador met his prince in New
York and escorted him to the capital. The in
vitation came and was effusively accepted The
memorable laws of courtesy were thus appeased
and the gallant Frenchman with the fair Miss
Tyler on his arm. was ushered into the state
diningroom. Immediately afterward be re-
turned to his frigate, which had been expressly
detailed to bring him over to take meal

A lady who has long resided in California re-

The Use of Ice Water.

1t was not to be expected that everybody
would agree with Dr. William A. Ham
mond's statement in recent magazine arti-
Gle that ice water is a dangerous drink DR..
Hammond,is an eminent physician, and he
probably knows as much about the effects
OF ice water upon the human system as any
body else, but great many people were
certain to take issue with him, some be-
cause they take issue with anybody upon
any question whatever, some because they
enjoy drinking ice water and don't want to
think that it is injurious to them, aud some
because they really think he is wrong
Several Boston physicians have been talk
ing about Dr. Hammond's statement lately.
They say that he is both right and wrong.
He is right because ice water, like every
thing else, is injurious to health if used i'm
moderately, aud because it often has a
tendency to retard digestion. He is wrong
mourning any risk worth mentioning, and
because others are actually benefited by it.
One physician said that he believed the
average duration of human life had been
heightened since ice water came into pretty
general use, and he defied DR.. Hammond
to point out an instance in which its use
caused death. He regarded DIR. Hammond
as crank. who wanted to get people to
talk about him, and who didn't care how
big a scare he created.
The editor of Georgia weekly newspa.
per probably stated the case correctly when
he said, in effect, that if one should pour ice
water into a heated boiler the effect might
be disastrous, and, carrying out the illus
tration, If one should take ice water immod-
erately into the stomach while he was over.
heated it might not be good for him, to say
the least.
Whether DR.. Hammond is right or wrong,
it is not probable that the statement Of his
views has caused less ice water to be used.
In warm weather people as rue are not
inclined to consider the possible bad results
of drinking ice-cold water. Doubtless II
would be better for many of them if they
were more prudent in this respect.

other passengers listened with attention, as the
theme was one Of general interest. His little
boy. small urchin Of years, sat beside him
regarding him with fond delight.
There IS no sense. the speaker was saying,
IN the way people gOthrough the world forget
tug things that they ought to remember. They
hurry out Of the street cars. leaving valuable
packages behind them, forget their opera
glasses in the theater and their overcoats in
hotels. Now, it a very weak mind that cannot
remember its own bundles. Here have pack
age, an umbrella and an overcoat. l could
carry them from here to Kamschatka without
forgetting them This is my corner; good morn

He bolted out of the door without waiting for
the car TO stop. and the other passengers were
musing over the truth and wisdom of what he
SAID, when small. wailing voice piped out:
My pas gone off and forgot me"
Then bluff old man in the corner remarked:
We're all tarred with the same stick"
And it vas not until the return trip of the car
that the man who never forgot anything recov-
