NGERSOLL ON TOBACCO.
He Pronounces 1t the Best Plant That

he FronounceS 1t the Best Plant That
Grows on the Face of the Earth.
At the dinner of the Legal Protective
Association of Cigar Manufacturers in
New York recently Col. Bob Ingersoll made
speech In response to the toast of ''Tobac-
CO. Among other things, he said Il
am called upon to speak for the divine
plant called tobacco. ] have used it all
my life-that is, since | was 10 years old
and liked the first chew of old plug |
put into my mouth as we'll as | do now.
There is too much hypocrisy about the use
of tobacco; thousands use it and lie about
it. want you to use and defend its use
because it adds something to the value
and happiness of life. IN spite of the
thunders of the pulpit and the anathemas
of physicians, its use is increasing, and
this is because the brain of man Graves it.
What would we do without it? Think of
waiting for train without tobacco Think
of crouching in the deadly rifle pit without
tobacco. What would those do who add
value to life by spanning the world with
the rainbows of fancy without tobacco?
All use tobacco, and are the better for it.
Have the courage of your happiness and
defend its use. Tobacco is luxury. and
on that account want the tax on it re-
moved. No matter what necessaries cost,
want cheap Injuries. They say luxuries
should be taxed because the rich pay for

in this United States. Applause Some
want poor devils to double the work in
this world and smoke in the next | want
them to smoke in this. The fumes which
arose from the pipe of peace of the Indian
were as different from the clouds of war
as heaven and hell-are there any such
places? Tobacco is the best plant that
grows on the face OF the earth. Personally,

able. pity the ancients, who had to do
without it, and | envy Columbus, who
was the first European to see it's smoke

world has given no better gift to man.

give us straight goods. and future gen.
erations will rise up and call you blessed. "

Stufy Houses.

Many houses are always in order, and
one fails to detect dust or dirt; yet they
lack the freshness and sweetness which
homes the carpet-sweeper or the small
brush-broom and the dust-pan are used tc
remove all the perceptible dirt from the
floor. The sunlight is shut out, lest car
pets and furniture covering be faded the
day, and this is why avisitor feels Cypress

gases and unpleasant otiors which come il
contact with it. The carpet or rugs in 6

rooms should be thoroughly aired every

Straw mating, or hard wood, or paint
ed floors are sweeter and more conducive t.
health than WOODEN carpets. 1t is, there
fore, pity that anything but mating is
ever used for covering bedroom floor
Small rugs that anybody can easily shake

like mat to give an air of warmth and
comfort to the room. Many persons oh,
ject to mating, because they say 1t does
not wear WELL The best quality will, how.
ever, outwear an ingram carpet. Cheap
mattings are expensive at any price.
There should be nothing in a bedroom
that is not washable, and the furnishing
should be sim pie that it can be cared for
without too much time and labor The
beds should be thoroughly aired every
morning, the sheets, blankets, pillows and
mattresses so disposed that there shall be a
current of air about them; and if possible
they should be exposed to the sunshine.
Ali closets should be thoroughly aired
daily.
The kitchen and cellar must be as care
fully watched as any other part of the
house. How often the bad odors and
much sickness could be traced to the
kitchen or cellar. A few decayed vege.
tables or fruit left there may cause an un,

part of tn house and often bring on ser

misfortune to have an enclosed sink. be-
cause the closet is. as rule, a receptacle
for damp dish, sink and floor cloths, all OF
which should be exposed to air and light
instead of being thrown into dark corner
until wanted again.
Another important thing to keep in
mind is the plumbing. The more con-
veniences a housekeeper has in the way OF
set bowls, bathrooms, etc, the greater her
cares; but for these modern convenience

THE FARM AND HOUSEHOLD,
JUSTICE TO THE OLD MAN.

While mothers are in every climb
Extolled in verse from time to time,
Who plods along with nary rhyme?
Your father.
Who is ii puts the key at night
Beneath the mat just out of sight,
And in the hallway leaves light?
Your father.
And, when you seek the burlesque show,
And want a seat in the front row,
Who got the last an hour ago:
Your father.
Who goes along out to the track
And puts up when for cash you lack,
And with you cheerily walks back?
Your father.
Who, when the pot is nice and fat
Soon lays your self-esteem out fiat
And wins with seven high held pat?
Your father.
And when your head begins to grow,
Who is it warns you TO 90 slow,
And tells you lots you didn't knows
Your father.

THE WHEEL OF THE WORLD.

The wheel of the world turns round and round
Those who are uppermost soon may be
Down in the dust or under ground:
The king in chains, the serf set free
Over the track in sunshine and rain
1t rolls on, over and over again.
wheel of the world moves day and night,
And its swift revolutions bring
Nations from darkness into light.
Where bells of the good times coming ring.
Over the plot where the palace shown,
1t rolls in the dust of the crown and throne
Around and round the wheel turns and goes.
Andwe go with it, now up, then down,
Few win the prize that many must lose,
Tired at the goal, hoy late comes the crowni
The brave, the true, the noble, the Just,
Win never be lost in the whirling dust

Natural Inequality of Men.

chicago journal.
There is school of popular philosophy
certainly more popular than it deserves
the keynote of which is that men are very
nearly equal intellectually, and that sue
cess is mere matter of effort, industry
and perseverance. Prophets of this school
quote with approval that epigrammatic
writer: Genius is simply the faculty of
taking infinite palms, and thus youths of
less than mediocre mental endowments are
made up of hope that by hard work and
the consumption of much midnight oil they
may in time rank with the master minds
of the world. While it is by no means
pernicious to encourage the Individual to
put forth his best powers and develop
them, the foundation of such philosophy is
essentially false. No amount of work, no
taking of pains will transform the Ounce {,
into genius; and far truer than this phil

CHICAGO, ILL.,, June 2o.-The Park national
bank OF this city. which closed doors to-day, is
not an important one. the capital stock being
only $500, 600. The failure was not unexpected
in banking circles. The president made con-
siderable money in the hat business and took
charge of the bank without--it is said-suffieient
knowledge of the banking business. The
result was that its loan department was
understood to be conducted less strictly than
conservative bankers considered necessary with
the result of getting rather poor line OF paper
President Parker maintains that his bank is
perfectly solvent md that it will be opened in
few days One of the reasons assigned for the
failure Is that it was victim OF several large
ailures, which depleted its resources

RAILWAY WRECKING.
The People Of Texas are such idiots They
Don't Know Their own Interests,
Are They?
HEsnrErrA. TEX. June %. 1880

HENRIETTA IEA.s june zUs ioJc.
Il is positively dreadful to think OF the people
OF this state demanding commission thai will
confscate the property of, and wreck all the
sions have done in twenty-five other states. II
is simply awful.-lGazette.
Editor Gazette.
Yes, It is SIMPLY lawful to think Of
it. Just as well charge the people of
wanting to destroy their own prosperity
as TO charge them with having a desire
to "wreck the railroads of the state.
As you know, Mr.. Editor, there is not
a town of any size in the state that has
one railroad or more but what
has contributed literally to secure
those roads. This being the case, the
people have shown by their acts that
they are in favor of roads and have an
interest in them, and in "wrecking
them they would be "destroying their
own property. 1t is charging the peo-
pie Of Texas with not having common
sense TO charge them with being "hos-
tile to railroads. This town, like all
others in Texas, is ready and willing to
assist railroads in the future as it has in
the past. In order to secure new rail-
road there is scarcely a town in Texas
but the people would be willing to tax
themselves heavily. This fact in itself
wal convince any reasonable person that
tEA,people are being misrepresentsd by
