Justice Lamar in Ill Health.

The Washington correspondent of the
Philadelphia Telegraph says: Justice
Lamar may have many years of life before
him, but his friends are made uneasy by
his broken appearance, and people who
meet him on the streets shake their heads
when he has passed aud predict that MI.
Harrison will have the appointing Of his
successor. He is q man of naturally
sedentary habits, and tho further c%ontiue-
ment attendant upon the hard work
required of him Oh the bench appears to
have told on his health sadly. He has
been obliged to break away from the seclu-
sion of his study aud again take to horse
back exercise or long walks in the hope
of finding new viaor in the country air. l
often see him Of late on a sleepy bay horse,
wandering about the suburban rouds, the
reins hanging loosely on the horses neck
and the animal going at will up one hr.dle
| path and down another, as if choosing his
own route. the %justics sits in the saddle
in a languid attitude, with the pallor of
death oh his face and an absent, far-otf
look inlhis eye. Within the year he has
grown feeble, his flesh hangs iabby, and a
haggard, care-worn expression is habitu-
ally on bis pale face. When he walks he
carries al book in his hand, sometimes read
ing md kametimes holding the book with
a hnserS4 between tie pages. while he moves
slowly Ffcne WA. lis l.oad down. The
first time l met him after not having seen
him for two months I did not recognize
him until my attention was called to him
the second time by my companion, who
was startled by the great change that had
taken place in the justice"

A Cunning Thief.

Speak, of the "Spendthrift Yankee"
to a London pawnbroker and the cold
chills will go down his back in squad
rons. He and his brethren have occa-
sion to remember the man. Mr.. Leigh
ton, as the American was known, drop
ped into a loan office one day and de-
sired an advance on his diamond ring
until he received remittances from
home. The proprietor examined the
jewelry carefully and accepted it as a
pledge for $3.50; 1t was redeemed md
more, and the process kept up until
the money lender grew we'll acquainted
with the ring and its owner. One day
"Mr. Leighton" sauntered in.
"Same thing, same sum-" he remark
ed in his usual manner
"All right, sir" was the reply; the
pledge was laid aside without scrutiny

GA RACE WITH ~

Among the nameless heroes, none are
more worthy of martyrdom than he who
rode down the valley of the Concmaugh,
warning the people ahead Of the Johns
town flood. Mounted on q powerful
horse. faster and faster went the rider,
but the flood was swiftly gaining, until
it caught the unlucky horscman and
swept on, grinding, crushing, annihila-
ting both weak and strong.
In the same way is disease lurking
near, like unto the sword of Damoclcs,
ready to fall, without warning, on its
victim, who allows his system to be-
come cloggcd UP, and his blood poi
soncd, and thereby his health cndan-
gered. To eradicate these poisons from
the system, no matter what their name

The Tormenting English Sparrow;

There is no doubt about the little tor
menting English sparrow's taking this
country, SO far as birds are concerned, says
the Atlanta Constitution. A strange nature
of theirs has just b!en discovered which
accounts for their berg SO plentiful in the
land. 1t is stated that al old sparrow will
lay a sitting Of five or six eggs every week
or two; that SIZE does rot bother with sit
ting on the eggs. but goes ahead preparing
another nest. The sun or heat hatch s
the little tormentors, and the old hen de-
ponds upon scavs, ging the streets and
robblng the poultry coops and yards to
feed her many broods.
