on Pennsylvania avenue one day Mr..
Clay approaching, and no one else near.
Plucking up heart as they met, he ex--
tended his hand, saying: "Mr. Clay, I
am Rev. Mr.. pastor of Wesley
Chapel. and from my boyhood have,
honored and loved you" Instantly it
was as If the sun had burst from behind a
cloud; my friend was bathed in stream
of warmth and light as the kindling eye
and beaming face shone upon him, and
Mr.. Clay grasping his hand thrilled
him with his voice, and then putting his.
arm into the preachers they walked
toward the Capitol, the difident man
completely at his ease and feeling as if
he had known the statesman for years.
The conversation of fifteen minutes.
which followed SO knitted the preacher
to Mr.. Clay that from that day forth he.
would have been almost willing to lay
down his life for him. Another of my
friends, Rev. John B. Hagany, hap
peued to see Daniel Webster sitting
alone one day on the promenade deck
Of steamboat, and, after making sew
eral turns to summon resolution for
the adventure, stopped in front Of the
great representative of Massachusetts.

That is my name," said the organ

And I am Rev. Mr.. Hagany, a
Methodist preacher, who for many
years have admired and honored you
almost more that any living man.

which was most embarrassing; and at.
last, with an effort, said: I'VE have q.
fine day, Mr.. Webster
"A siDguIarly h.e day." answered
the orotund music.
Another long pause, when, rising,
the reaoher said: Il wish you good

"A very good morning to you, Mr.

ger to the entire body. One may think
he is developing his lungs by form OF
exercise that expands his chest" said
the Professor, "but after all this expan-
sion is merely a matter of external mus
cular development. and the theory is on
par with the general snperclallty OF the
average system OF training. Hard layers
of muscles on the chest do not improve
the permanent strength OF the lungs.
The enlargement and strengthening OF
these organs can only be accomplished
by the exercise and special training OF
these organs themselves. In other words,
not outside, but inside exercise lies at the
very bottom of natural physical training,
and | claim that the education of the
lungs should preclude that Of the outer
muscular system, for the natural in
crease of lung strength and chest room
is retarded by methods that begin work
on the outside.
aLung diseases are less frequent among
women than men. and yet the women
breathe less air than men, but they do it
in n better manner. This is partially
attributable to the use of the corset,
which, fortunately, has tended to pro-
duce q habit of breathing with the upper
part of the lungs Abdominal breathing
Is particularly common with the male
sex. aud this habit of exercising the
lower part of tho lungs is the reason why
tho upper parts that first receive the air
are left IN q state of relative weakness
and susceptibility. In my opinion" re-
marked Mr.. Checkley, "the diaphragm
has properly no greater necessary use in
expanding and contracting the lungs
than the ribs themselves. In other
words, tho action of ..the diaphragm

Athletic Mr.. Checkley, whose superb
physique is striking proof of the cor
rectness of his theory, so far as he is
concerned, believes that in many of the
popular system practices in and out of
the college gymnasiums there is more
"straining" than "training," and the
method he advocates is a radical depart
ure from all these familiar paths. For

KILLING OF SITTING BULL.

THE Omaha World Herald has the
following just and pertinent article
on this subject:
"Somebody is responsible for the
death of Sitting Bull and the other In

unwarranted severity and oppression
that the, United States is now inflic,ing

those, merely, who did the killing.
Nor those merely who ordered the
military to the scene OF the so-called

SHERBooKE, Quebec, Dec. 49,
Sheriff Wood died suddenly OF
heart disease at s:i5 O'Clock this
morning. The excitement attend
ing the execution Of R=mi La Mon
tagne was probably the cause. The
death of the sheriff delayed the ex-
ecution but few moments. La
Montague was hanged ut 9:a9. The
crime for which La Montague suf-
fered the extreme penalty was an
abominable one. In July, lSSS, he
went to the house OF his brother-in-
law, Napoleon Michigan, aud en-
ticed him to the door. shot him
twice, cut his throat, slashed his
body, dragged him back into the
house and set il on Ere. The wound.
ed man dragged himself from the
flames badly scorcned. but died in
. few weeks. The murierer's sister
Leia, an unusually handsome

it tries TO crawl out, in the most
sneaklng manner, and squirts
venom and faisehood worse than il
original calumny.
We repeat, ''theTe was no busi-

company's affairs that was. not
Straightforward, square anu open,
and there was no need for conceal
ment o. any of its transactions;"
and the same may be said Of the acis
Of the City Council during the same
period.
Now as TO the Assessor and Col
lector: 1t Is well known that the full
amount Of the years taxes was
charged up to him, under the OLD
law, and he was required to-settle at
l certain dete. II was evident L.
the Coa rcil at the time that he was
unfortunate but honest. and mis- note
was taken for part CT his dues which
~e believe he paid in full. There
was no embezzlement, no defalcation
nor any loss to the city.

certain class Of minds TO rake up al
most forgotten affairs, in order 10

particulars, and thus secure an OPP
portunity for unresisted SANDER.
Dut only mean and paltry souls find
pleasure in such pastime, and We
leave the subject as one that, it is
now evident, was intended as
personal assault, and therefore I'M
necessary to be noticed further in
the DEsEREr News.
