Washington's Punctuality.

Washington had many admirable traits worthy of imitation, and one of them was rigid punctuality. This was we'll illustrated by an incident during his visit to Boston one hundred years ago. Having appointed eight o'clock in the morning as the hour at which he should set out for Salem he mounted his horse just as the Old South clock was striking that hour. The company oi cavalry which was to es- cort him did not arrive till after his do. parture, and did not overtake him till he had reached Charles river bridge.

CHARLES MAcKAY's LAST POEM

'' My WiEe's Q Wlnsomo Wee Thing" My wife's winsome wee thing. Wed twenty years OF mair, And aye the bonnier growing, AS baith mine eyes declare. Iris love that made her bonnie. And love that keeps her sac. In spite O time and fortune, On life's uncannie way. Love scares ava the wrinkles From on her smooth white brow, And duty done through good and i'll Aye keeps her conscience true And yields her happy peace of mind, If e'er the world goes wrong, And turns the murmur of lament Into cheerful song. The kisses gather on her lips Like blossoms on the rose, And kindly thoughts reflect the light That in her bosom glows- As wavelets in running stream Reflect the noontide ray, And sparkle with the light of Heaven When ripping on their way. She is winSome wee thing, And more than twenty year She's twined herself about my heart By all that can endear; By all that can endear on earth For shadowing things above, And lead my happy soul to Heaven, Rejoicing in her love!

Tho Importano, or Marriass,

Don't rush into matrimony, girls. Re- main single until you are well in the twenties, when body and mind are alike we'll developed. You can not overesti- mate the importance of thorough knowledge of the man whom you desire to marry. Uprightness, hxedness of pripr ciple, an unselfsh and generous dispo- sition, with good business abilities, should be regarded as indispensable. If a young man is good son and brother he will make kind husband, provided you do your part. Do not be won by trifies.

Everybody has heard of "horse laugh" but who has ever seen an equine gifted with the power of speech? Such an animal would be pronounced a miracle; but so would the telegraph and the telephone a hundred years ago. Why, even very recently cure for con- sumption, which is universally acknowledged to be scrofula affecting the lungs, would have been looked upon as miraculous, but now peO- pie are beginning to realize that the disease is not incurable. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery will cure it, if taken in time and given fair trial This world-renowned rem- edy will not make new lungs, but it will re- store diseased ones to a healthy state when other means have failed. Thousands grate- fully testify to this. It is the most potent tonic, or strength restorer. alterative, or blood-cleauser and nutritive. or flesh-builder, known to medical science. For Weak Lungs, Splitting of Blood, Bronchitis, Asthma, Ca tarrh in the Head and all Lingering Coughs, it is an unequaled remedy. In derangements of the stomach. liver and bowels, as 1ndiges- tion, or Dyspepsia, Biliousness, or Liver Complaint" Chronic Diarrhea, and kindred ailments 1t is q sovereign remedy.

THE CASTAC CASE,
1t Will Probably Come to an End To-
morrow

The trial of w. c. Chormicle and w.
A. Gardener, upon the charge of shoot
ing G. w. Walton and Dolores Cook, in
the Castac ca1on, on February 2Sth last
was brought to conclusion in depart
ment | of the superior court yesterday.
in so far as the taking of testimony is
concerned, and nothing now remains
but the arguments of the respective
counsel, before the jury is called upon
to decide the question as to the guilt or
innocence of the accused.
Yesterday morning several more wit
nesses were called in rebuttal by the
prosecution, and testified that Cooks
reputation for peace and quiet had been
good during his lifetime. Then three
were examined in rebuttal of Mrs.
Martinez's testimony, all agreeing that
she could not possibly have seen the
lumber pile from the spot from which
she stated she witnessed the shooting.
John Goldsworthy, the county sur
veyor, who had made careful inspec-
ton of the ground after the shooting,
surprised the prosecution by stating
positively that a person standing on the
spot designated by Mrs. Martinez could
not only see the lumber pile, but
could command view Of the whole of
that part of the canon. He also stated
that the witness Riley had told him
that at the time of the shooting he was
fully forty feet across the ravine, thus
contradicting Riley's testimony to the
effect that he was in the ravine at the
time.
A few more witnesses were called
and examined upon unimportant details
bearing upon the case, and shortly after
8 O'Clock the case was closed. 1t being
then too late to open the argument,
court adjourned until Monday morning,
the jury in the meantime being in the
custody of the sheriff. One juror was
excused, however, on account OF sick
ness in his family.
