Familiar Quotations.

The old phrase, "There's
many a slip 'twixt the cup and
the lip" is a literal translation
of an old Greek hexameter line;
and when we talk Of "smiling
through tears" we are quoting
Homer. The happy expression,
"nullum quod tetigitit nom or
navitt," is the phrase employed
by DR.. Johnson in his epitaph
on Goldsmith to express the
genius Of his friend. The line
so often attributed to Shaks-
peare, GA fellow feeling makes
one wondrous kind" )" was writ
ten by Garrick in the occasion
al prologue spoken by him on
leaving the stage. Owen Felt
ham; the author of the Gre
solve," is one Of those unfortu-
nate men who have written
many good and pithy things,
while others have usurped the
credit of them; such for instan--
'ces, as ''without a certain modi-
cum of chaff, the horse is apt to
bolt his oats" which has been
SO dexterously applied. Ma.
caulay has been the reputation
of many a brilliant epigram for
which he was indebted far more
to his gigantic memory than to
his originality.
The oft-quoted image Of the
traveller from New leland TAX
ing his stand on a broken arch
of London bridge to sketch the
ruins Of st. Paul's is borrowed
from Horace Walpole, "The
imitation of Christ" Herbert's
"Iacula Prudentium," and Fran
klin's works are the great store
houses Of many proverbs and
quotations. From the first we
have ''Man proposes but
God disposes. "Of two evils,
the less is always to be chosen .
"Early to bed and early to rise
makes a man healthy, wealthy
and wise,'' is from Franklin; 50
also is, "God helps them that
help themselves He that goes
a borrowing goes a sorrowing;
and the oft repeated quotation,
the "Best is always the cheap
est" is by common consent at
tributed to the well known firm
Of Saur & Balsley, for it is uni
versally known that they al
ways carry not only the best,
but the purest drugs and medi-
cines in the market, and while
they are the very best they sell
them as cheap if not cheaper
than what is sasked by others for
inferior goods.
While this house is carrying
a complete stock Of medicines
and drugs they also have the
largest stock of paints, oils,
varnishes and brushes to be
found anywhere in the North
ern market. The stock consists
Of the best brands in the world
and sold at the very lowest
notch. Also they pay particu-
lar attention to their wall paper
and decorations, window shades
and fixtures, of which they at
all seasons Of the year carry a
complete stock, always consist
ing all Of the latest styles. The
styles at the presert time are
indeed beautiful and j, will re-
pay anyone whether they wish
to buy or not to examine the
stock Of Saur & Balsley.

AT THE COUNCIL CHAMBER.
The Law Making Body Crinds Ava.
at Business till q Late Hour.

At the regular session Monday night
Baker, Ludwig, Shoner, Cahill, Grosch-
ner, Mayor Meekison in the chair, and
Dan'l Hess, Street Commissioner were
present.
Committee on widening street on
south side reported their action as hav-
ing examined the records and found
none where land along the street had
been condemned for that purpose.
Committee was granted further time to
confer with the property owners.
Purchasing committee reported ad-
versely in regard to purchasing lamp
for engine room. Mr.. Baker expostu-
lated, claiming that it was absolutely
necessary, but the report of the COM
mittee was adopted.
The following bills were investigated
by the finance committee and allowed
by the council.
L. Obery, 240 feet of stone for crossings
Shaw, Kendall & Co., water cock. ............ 15O
Harmon Gathman, sundries . =. ........,.... I5O
A. j. Saygers, lumber. r..................... 3665
Joe Kanney, repairs. ...................... 240
c. f. Beard, repairs $40
Fl. G. Groschner, sundries. es............. 1850
A bill in favor of the fire department
for $50 was presented by Chief Roller.
The expenses of the dept while attend
ing the convention at Deshler were
$122.50. The dept asked for $50 from
the council to assist in defraying these
expenses. The question was argued for
some time as to the feasibility of fallow-
ing the bill. The vote for its allowance
was lost, Cahill, Groschner and Shoner
voting in the negative, Ludwig and
Baker, the affirmative.
A motion was made and carried to
allow $40.
After much discussion G. w. Jack
son was allowed $14 for two months
fees as health officer.
E. J. Decker presented bill of SIS,
the amount the Beard Electric Light
Co. was cut on last bill. He claimed
that instead of running short during
that time, the plant was in operation
more hours than called for In contract.
A rather stormy scene ensued and
when cleared away the disallowance of
the bill remained intact.
Richard Bruins complained of the
condition Of Washington st. The same
was ordered repaired.
The road from Miller House to
depot was ordered scraped and other
wise repaired.
Mr.. Hoffman of the South Side, pc
titioned the council to repair sewer
leading to river on west side Of Kalida
Pike. Referred to street committee.
Mayor Meekison informed the coun-
Gil that the corporations proposition to
pay the Wabash $75 for opening Haley
Ave. to the Bryan Pike was accepted
by the company and the avenue would
be opened at once.

The dear old grandmother of Ken
lucky young man offered to give him
$500 if he would quit smoking for a
specified time. He quit smoking, but
before the time during which he was to
refrain from the habit had expired, the
dear old lady died. The young man
kept right ON with his part of the bar
gain, however, and at the end of the
time asked the executor of the estate
for the money, The executor refused
to keep the promise of the dead woman
and the grandson sued for the money.
The court decided that he had valid
claim, and awarded him the money.
The wonder is, however, not so much
that the young man won his suit, but
that he quit the habit SO long. The
moral of the story ought to be that the
young man was forever cured of the
habit, but he probably wasn't, and that
is tie reason no moral adornsthis tale.

Is it Spotted Fever?

Murfreesboro Home Journal.
There is a strange and fatal disease
prevailing in the neighborhood Of
where Mr.. Isaac Coleman lives, five
miles East of this city on the Wood
bury turnpike. Three members of
Mr.. COleman's family and three of
Mr.. Melton's family have died with
the disease, and on last Sunday a
negro died, with the same symptoms.
Drs. Bridges and Hall are reported as
saying that the disease is entirely
new in this section, and that the
ordinary treatment does not seem to
have any effect on persons afflicted.
