washlngton's Greatness.

: AS o soldier, it is easy now to gee
!: that his greatness consisted largely in
. the way he received disaster. He
proved his nobility in rising above de.
feat, in wrenching success from failure
in keeping an immovable front against
reverse, detraction and Infamous abuse.
His life was one long struggle-not, as
to q superficial view it might seem, a
series of nero fortunate successes.
High character, rather than good
luck" was his immortal equipment.
But it is as citizen that Washing
ton gives what may be thought to be
the most valuable lesson of his career
the lesson of absolute honesty, abso-
Lutte disinterestedness Let those who
preach, who teach, who vote, make the
contrast on all occasions between the
tone of Washington and that of every
public man of to-day who falls below
his standard. The standard is not
too high for any man. Washington
was no angel, saint or demigod. We
have a right to exact from every man
who takes public service equal public
virtue, The people do this theoretic-
cally, if not practically, already; but
we will not have city, State or national
government what it should be till we
make the demand in practice as well
as in theory.-The Century.

Some Enormous Hammers.

Sightsecrs in st. Louis, Mo-, always
take lively interest in tho monster trip
hammers used in the various large iron
works, which, although as large as any
thing of the kind to be found within the
limits of the United States, are but
pigmies when compared with those used
in the great rolling mills and gun
foundries of Europe. At the Tcrni
works in Italy there is q hammer which
weighs fifty tons. 1t was cast in 1878,
and is said to have taken ninety days to
cool sufficiently to admit of being set in
position. Alexandrovski, Russia, has
one ten tons heavier that was cast in
1874. At the Crenstot works in France
there is one of eighty tons. 1t was made
in 1877 and sets on an anvil block of 160
tons weight. The Cockerille works IN
Belgium have 100-ton hammer, and the
Krupp gun works at Essen, Germany,
have one of $50 tons. The last named
hammer is the largest now used in the
world. Adrertiser.

An Electrical Whirlwind.

Mr.. Charles F. Hefer's farm on the
Monticello road, about four miles from
this city, was recently the scene OF rather
q remarkable occurrence.
Mr.. Hpfer's attention was attracted by
several loud reports, which he likens to
the discharge of gun, at the edge OF
some woods bordering his cotton field.
Immediately whirling column of dust
and debris was seen to take n circular
course from the woods through the cot
ton field and back to the woods again,
sweeping aloft everything in its path.
A colored man employed in tie fell
fed for his life, but caught enough of
the force of the whirlwind to blister his
back, so he said.
On examination it was found that NIL
along the track of the whirling column
the leaves of the cotton had been
scorched as if by fire, but no other dam
age was done.-Col,tmbia IS. c. Regis

White and Deaf.

Mr.. Harrison Weir, President Of the
National Cat Club, England, says in
his book, "Our Cats" that white cat
OF the long OF short haired breed is
likely to he deaf. Should it have blue
eyes, the fancy color, it is almost Ger.
tain to be deaf.
Mr.. Weir, at cat show, purchased
@ white cat, o beauty, loving and gen.
tie, for the low price of two guineas.
When he got it home the cat proved to
be "stone deaf"
Then the trouble began. If shut out
of the dining-room, its cry for admis-
sion could be heard all over the house,
for, being deaf, it did not know the
noise it made, though its owner often
wished that it could hear its own cry.
When it called out as it sat on his lap,
it called with ten-cat power, and its
commanding voice caused it to be
named the Colonel"
One day friend saw the beauty"
and admired it so much as to accept it
as gift, even after being told that it
was "stone deaf" A few days after
Mr.. Weir received letter from the
friend, offering to return the loud
voiced cat.
"Give it to any one you please, but
don't return it to us" was the reply.
The Colonel" was given to deaf
3ld lady. and both were happy.

Do Right for Rights Sake.

We are in receipt of a letter asking
US, What makes people do right?"
How under the sun does the writer
Of this epistle suppose We know what
causes influence people in doing right? !?
If, indeed, anybody does do right,
which we might be seriously inclined
to doubt if we "took stock" in the uni
versal cry about the wickedness of this
day and generation.
We have asked some people of our
acquaintance the question. and find.
that most of them do right because
they expect to be rewarded for it. At
least they have quoted to us innumer-
able texts of Scripture bearing on that
point, and all pointing toward the re-
wards of the just.
Now, it strikes us that this is an in
fnitely selfish way of doing things. If
you feed Mrs. A., who is starving, be-
cause you expect, either in this world
or the next, to be rewarded for it, you
are only selling your good deeds for
price. You are not pitiful of her suffer-
ings, you are not charitable toward her
because it is your duty, but simply
because you expect that you will real
ize benefit from your benevolence.
Is this true charity? Is this love
toward your neighbor? Is this the
spirit of the Divine Master, who taught
US to do unto others as we would they
should do unto us?
It seems to us that the only true way
of doing right is for rights sake. With
out an eye to the rewards, or to the
punishments, which may await us, TO
deal Justly and mercifully with every
living thing, to do no act of malice, to
wound the feelings of no one intention
ally, to let no selfish love of ease, or
pleasure, deter us from what we deem
is right. Yes, that is our idea of the
way to do right.
We may be in error, but it strikes lis
that it is rather little soul which is
continually looking out for rewards, or
dreading the punishments.
1t is like making bargain, and say-
ing, if I will be good yon will reward
me, thus and so; and if 1 am bad, then
T must look out for chastisement.
We do not like that kind of doctrine.
We want to do right, not because it is,
respectable; not because We shall fare
better for so doing in this world; not
because we shall be happier hereafter
for IT,; not because people will talk
about us if We do not; not because we
belong to the church, and our minister
breaches it, but because it is right to
do right, and because God has COM
mapded us to do It.
And to the man properly constituted
there is no happiness like that which
comes from right actions, guided by
right motives. And whatever may be
that mans theology, he is on the right
road if he does right for rights sake

Not tho Same.

Into the store of q Boston stationer
one day recently there came man in
The dress of q workingman, who was
evidently ct once foreigner and not
overgifted with brilliancy of intellect.
He made up to one of the clerks, and
with an air of hesitation, us if doubtful
whether he had come to the right
place, asked in broken English for
some "overalls."
"Those you will find at the clothing
store just down the street." the clerk
said.
The customer looked puzzled.
II did gone there" he said, "and I
did request them for envelopes, and
here is it that they do send me" =
The clerk was quick enough to see
wlere the trouble lay, and good-na-
tured enough to explain to the foreign
er the difference between envelopes
for letters and envelopes for the legs
Of laborers, and the man went back to
the clothing store where, no doubt, he
found what he wanted.

You Neynr Can BE Certain.

Judge Z. R. Hoar, of Concord, Me-,
relates the following remarkable in
stance of mistaken identity:
A man was tried for highway rob-
tery at East Cambridge, Mass, some
forty years ago. He had no counsel,
belonged to the class of habitual Grim
inals, and as the evidence went in you
would have said the case was hopeless.
The person robbed identified him with
absolute certainty. Other witnesses,
who hnd known him lor< and init
mately, testified to seeing him in the
neighborhood OF the place where the
robbery was committed just before it
occurred, ald others who knew him
equally well heard his voice at the time
Of the outcries, and saw him running
away from line scene of the crime. AS
the Government ended the eXamina-
ton of each witness, the Court asked
the prisoner in the dock if he wished
to ask any questions. To which no
uniformly answered: ayes, one ques-
tiou," and, being told to ask it, it was
each time:
Are you sure IL WIS uc
To this each witness replied:
"Certainly; know it was YOU"
When the Governments case was
closed. the Judge asked the prisoner if
he had any evidence to offer or wished
to say anything to the jury.
He had seemed to be very cold and
unmoved during the trial, making no
comment on his failure to disturb the
confidence of any adverse witness, and
to the Judges question replied:
II should like to call one witness"
"Call him, then ?" said the Judge.
ais Capt. Robbins in court!" said the
prisoner, and there stepped forward
The we'll known master of the house of
correction, with his record book of
commitments under his arm.
"Do you know me?" asked the pris-
Dner.
II should think I did," replied Capt.
Robbins.
"Wi.l ,ou look in the record and tell
the court where was on the 14th of
last December?" (the day of the crime
on triaD.
Capt. Robbins looked in his book.
aYou were in the house of correction
at South Boston, serving out a years
sente nee for larceny"
"That's all," said the prisoner.
The Judge said to. the jury that the
defense, though rot especially credit
able, seemed to be conclusive if they
believed Capt. Robbins. Of course
The man was acquitted.
