THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.

The City of Washington is an object OF
perennial interest to all patriotic Ameri-
cans. Not alone because it is the great
throbbing heart of the mightiest and
grandest Republic the earth has ever
known, but also on account of its mater
ial magnifcence. 1t is hope and aspir-
alton of all "young America" at least, to
some time or other visit the Capital of
his country.
The Baltimore and Ohio r. r. offers
unequalled facilities in aid of this desire.
All its through trains pass through Wash
ington. Its fast express trains are vesti-
buled from end to end and heated with
steam. Pullman's latest and best prOduc-
tions in the way of sumptuous Drawing
Room Sleeping Cars are attached to all its
through trains. The present management
of the B. & o. have made vast improve
ments in the last two years, and the road
is to-day one of the foremost passenger
carrying lines in the country. Through
tickets via B. & o. r. r. can be procured
at all the principal ticket offices through
out the United States.

THE FIRE DRILL.

The Guacho of the Pampas takes can
elastic stick about eighteen inches long,
presses one end to his breast and the
other in the hole in piece Of wood, and
then rapidly turns the curved part like
a carpenters center bit" In other cases
the rotation is affected by means of a
cord or thong wound round the drill and
pulled alternately by this end and that
A further advance was made by some
North American Indians, who appear to
have applied the principle of the bow
drill, and the still more ingenious pump
drill was used by the Iroquois Indians.
For full description of these instru-
ments we must refer the reader to Mr.
Taylor's valuable chapter in his "Re-
searches" These methods of producing
fire are but rarely used in Europe, and
only in connection with superstitious OBJ
ServanceS.
We read in Wuttke that some time
ago the authorities of Mecklenberg vii
lage ordered a wild fire to be lighted
against the murrain among the cattle.
For two hours they strove vainly to OBJ
tain spark, but the fault was not as
cribed to the quality of the wood or to
the dampness of the atmosphere, but to
the stubbornness of an old lady who, OBJ
jecting to the superstition, would not
put out her night light. Such a fire to
be efficient must burn alone. At last the
strong minded woman was compelled to
give in: fire was obtained, but of bad
quality, for it did not stop the murrain.
A belief in the peculiar virtues of fire
obtained by the friction of wood has at
one time or another prevailed among ma
tions of Indo-European race, and not
many years ago the obtaining of need
(fre) was practiced in the Highlands of
Scotland. One of its principal virtues
has always been considered to be its eff
ficiency against disease.-Fireman, Lon

THURSDAY. FEBRUARY p, 1880.
M. GRADY,S APPEAL.

The late Henry ". Grady, Of Atlanta,
Ga, has been justly eulogized as one Of
the most able, brilliant, clear-headed,
noble minded men of the present centu-
tury. In no cause in which his sympa-
thies were enlisted was Mr.. Grady more
active and earnest than in that of tenn
perance. From one of his speeches de-
Iivered during the exciting local cam
paign in Georgia in 1887, we make the
following quotation, which is as true in
its application to-day as it was then:
"My friends, hesitate before you vote
liquor back into Atlanta, now that it is
shut out. Don't trust it. 1t is power
full, aggressive and universal in its at
tacks. Tonight it enters an humble
home to strike the roses from woman's
cheek, and tomorrow it challenges this
republic in the halls of Congress. To-
day it strikes a crust from the lips of
starving child, and tomorrow levies
tribute from the government itself
There is no cottage in this city humble
enough to escape it-no palace strong
enough to shut it out 1t defies the law
when it cannot coerce suffrage. 1t is
flexible to cajole, but merciless in victo-
~. 1t is the mortal enemy of peace and
order The despoiler of men, the terror
of women, the cloud that shadows the
face of children, the demon that has dug
more graves and sent more souls un-
shrived to judgment than all the pesti-
lences that have wasted life since God
sent the plaques to Egypt, and all the
wars since Joshua stood beyond Jericho.
Oh, my countrymen, loving God and hu-
manity, do not bring this grand old city
again under the dominion of that pow
er. 1t can profit no man by its return.
1t can uplift no industry, revive no in
terest, remedy no wrong. You know
that it cannot. II comes to destroy, and it
shall profit mainly by the ruin of your
sons or mine. 1t comes to mislead hu-
man souls and to crush human hearts
under its rumbling wheels. 1t comes to
bring gray-haired mothers down in
shame and sorrow to their graves. Il
comes to turn the wife's love into de-
spair and her pride into shame. 1t
comes to still the laughter on the lips of
little children. 1t comes to stifle all the
music of home, and fill it with silence
and desolation. 1t comes to ruin your
body and mind, to wreck your home,
and it knows that it must measure its
prosperity by the swiftness and certain
ty with which it wrecks this work"
Belmont chronicle. [volume] (St. Clairsville, Ohio) 1855-1973, 1890-02-27

Do not fall into the habit of asking
favors. 1t is better to suffer than to
supplicate, and asking a favor, even
from your dearest friend, is only mild
form of supplication. Get what you
want by your own unaided eXertions, or
90 without.

The wider the liberty the more eff
cient should be the safeguards to pre-
vent it from being abused and degenera-
ting into license. To keep the social
body within its orbit the centripetal
force should counterbalance the centri

that is to sail on a rough sea and before
strong winds should be well balasted.

THE term "integrity" can only be ap-
piled to those persons who, accustomed

regard every act of injustice as mean
ness to which they would scorn to stoop.

point. In any case, whether of a bold
or timid child, the only completely eff
fectual training comes from the parents

THE work that pays, that is not done
without fit compensation of one sort or
other, is seldom exhaustive of the re-
sources of the mind or body. The work
which is done without remunerating re-
suits, and the failure of which to yield
reward makes it hard, is that sort which
tires the brain, and through it the body.

THE human mind is ever busy, feed
ing either upon what is wholesome or
upon what is poisonous, and working
out results for good or for evil. 1t is a
great mistake to suppose that the main
thing to do for the mind is to empty it
of all error, of all prejudice, of all infe-
rior subjects of thought, of all supersti-
tions and dreams and illusions. To fill
it with true ideas, to inspire it with vi
tai energy, to discipline it to original
work, is worth thousand laborious eff
forts to extract the weeds which may
disfgure it. Just as vigorous consti-
tuition Overcomes diseases, so vigorous
mind overcomes error.

MAN must have occupation or be
miserable. Toll is the price of sleep and
appetite, of health and enjoyment. The
necessity which overcomes our natural
sloth is blessing. The world does not
contain brier or thorn which Nature
could have spared. We are happier
with the sterility, which we can over
come by industry, than we could have
been with spontaneous plenty and un-
bounded profusion. The body and the
mind are improved by the toll that ia
tigues them.

To marry for money, beauty, home, or
selfishness is debasing. Character is of
far more consequence than any of these;
and happy marriage depends much
more on a good, loving, patient charac-
ter than aff'the circumstances of time,
place and money combined.

HIS WIFE ALWAYS SAID GRACE

HIS WIFE ALWAYS SAID GRACE.
New York Tribune.
A party of Ohio men were grouped in
the Ebbitt House lobby the other day,
and among the topics of friendly inter
course that came up was the famous
Sherman family. Ohio men always
speak proudly of this sturdy stock, and
enough good things were told at this
meeting to make pocket Sherman en-
cyclopedia. There were eleven children
in the family, and of the sons three at
tanned exceptional prominence. So large
is the family to-day that Senator Sher-
man can count nineteen nephews and
twenty nieceS.
One of the Ohio men related how the
old people of Mount Vernon, o., re-
member when Senator Sherman worked
on farm near that place. One old la
dy especially described the gaunt lad
who used daily to pass her door on his
way to the village school. She descrlb-
ed him as almost six feet tall, wearing
broad -brimmed, dilapidated straw hat,
trousers which he had long since out
grown, and often, says the Mount Yer
non "Auntie," the strapping boy was in
his bare feet She was a friend of the
Senator's mother, and he never neglects
calling upon her when he goes back to
Mt. Vernon.
On one occasion they sat down to a
bountiful table spread with the ounce
preserves and sweets which the young
Sherman had liked. She had heard
much of his fame, and wanted to show
him great honor. Now, the old way Of
distinguishing a guest is to select him to
sask the blessing" The greatest man
in the olden times always had the honor
of saying grace. Although there was a
minister at the table on this occasion
and one or two powerful "exhorters," the
hostess passed them by and asked Sena-
tor Sherman. At first he was confused;
then, with a merry twinkle in his eye,
he said:
"Excuse me madame; always allow
my wife to do that"
WHEN Speaker Carlisle was requested
by the leading Democrats of the House,
ex-Speaker Randall among them, to rec
ogniZe a member who wished to intro
duce bill to repeal the internal revenue
tax on tobacco, he absolutely refused to
do so. He was told that over two-thirds
of the members of the House were in
favor of the bill, and Major Mckinley
stated on the floor that the whole Re-
publican minority would support it, but
Speaker Carlisle stood firm in his refusal
Now ex-Speaker Carlisle unites with the
other Democrats in Congress in an ad-
dress to the people proclaiming that
constitutional liberty is endangered be-
cause Speaker Reed will not allow Dem
ocrats to obstruct business! This one
man power is all right when exercised
by Democrats in the interests of British
free trade. The one-man power in the
hands of a Southern Democrat, could be
carried to the extreme verge of des-
potism, without exciting a murmur of
complaint from Democrats, but let a Re-
publican Speaker manifest due frmness
in the interest of the whole country and
then the howl of Cesarism is heard
Cleveland Leader.
