Don't be afraid of killing your
self with overwork. Ten men rust
out where one wears out. "Thou
shalt earn thy bread with the sweat
of thy brow" is as true to-day as
when first uttered. No man, nor wo-
man either, can be perfectly happy
who has not regular work to do.
You may think differently but it is
a rock ribbed truth, nevertheless.
and supremely happy are those who
learn this lesson in time. You
might as well try to exist physically
without food, or to grow mentally
without reading, study and rehec-
ton, as to try to be happy and viz
tuous without steady labor of some
kind. You can't do it.

Nor long since, in a large city.
our attention was attracted by a
large load of empty barrels that
were being driven through a rough,
rocI-paved street. Although the
barrels were empty we especially
noted the distracting noise that
they made when the wagon struck a
rut or rough place in the road.
This incident suggested a thought,
an idea, which we have had album
dant opportunities to since confirm,
although we do not claim any merit
as an inventor nor on account of or
iginality. We have observed that
barrels are not the only things that
make most noise when empty. That
q man with an empty head will
always make ten times as much
noise as the one whose cerebral cells
are well filled with gray matter,
which is generally supposed to be
food for the brains. If the idea is
new to you, dear reader, Just watch

clans who are now engaged in saw

s'Gath" IN Cincinnati Enquirer
The morning got up at the Ebbitt House
met Caleb Willard, the owner thereof. who
said:
Il understand that Mr.. Flagler, who has
built the Zig hotel in Florida. has really Sc
cured the ground in Washington for an extern
sive and e3 pensive hotel I did not believe il
before, but am told that he has got about all
the properly be wants ont here at Columbia
Heights upon the extension of Connecticut
avenue"
This is a beautiful situation, and IL NAV have
remarkable results in the future. great hotel
placed upon that elevated ground. with Rock
creek flowing around its base and a superb
view of the city afforded, as well as Of Virginia
and the waters hereabOut, may still further
draw the city Of Washington back upon the
upland toward Montgomery county. The last
Congress voted beautiful park along this
Rock creek. and such hotel will have the park
itself for drive and a stroll These things all
show what has been my belief for several years
that in thirty years more Washington will
have 1,0o00O0 inhabitants. i think it will
be the third city in the United States
IN population at the end of another third OF a
century Every city in the country can afford
TO see Washington grow; the persons who come
70 live here will be in the main scholars, per-
sons OF either fortune or fine craft and art The
ideas VIII here terminate among the collection
OF the government and around the library
which will tone our country up beyond the in
nuence of the bowie knife. the pistol lynch law
or kiting finance. public spirit which will
extend over the whole country will be begotten
by the annual Rssemblage of the quality and
Character Of the land near the government.

nine years, been an employee of the government

been engaged, but whose suit was rejected,
did, on March last. assisted by his brother
Albert. abduct her from her own home and
cause her to be confined in an asylum for the
