Welt in politics belongs to the
Center, with pronounced tendency to
favor the Right or the Conservative par
ty, although he may be better styled an
Opportunist, being flexible to the ext
gencies of circumstances in order to
carry his points. He is very reserved
in matters of religious character,
prudent in all his actions, and an active,
energetic and Jealous statesman. He
is the inspirator of the moderate party
and enjoys the sympathy of the major
ity of the Federal chambers. He is very
dignified, of refined manners, and as
much an observer of strict etiquette as
if he had been born and raised among
princes. Nevertheless he is affable and
of easy approach. Although not rs
brilliant an orator as Ruchornet, his
eloquencc is admiral bic, and as tinan-
cier he is regarded as the best in S"itz-
erland.
In appearance DR.. Welt is hand
some man of imposing stature ard

and has many of his traits. For this re-
semblance he Is known as the Little

THE MINSTREL.


He thought he once could sing

Esut sGammered, though he held full.strung

because nc lacked the art
Which later years impart;
Htsc3usc Ihc skill was less than the desire.
and now he seems to know
Just how the tune should flow,
Esut misses the young ardor once SO strong.
The impulse of the heart
rs slower than the art;
She skill TO sing Is better than the song.
The SOLDERING touch OF time
Holds back the haSty rhyme
That in the heat OF youth cncc spurncd control;
For shared in webs Of thought
His flying dreams are caught;
-Agc looks beyond the senses to the soul

Assume the letter part
@Na once the lowlier in the realm of song
All, could life's grandcr themes
Flow like the early streams
Eghat minstrel then would say he had lived too
long!

lies in his inability TO catch the best
skilled among the spook painters or tc
make them turn out their best work she
does not say, but she is emphatic on the
point that her own spooks are superior
painters to Sauter's lot. She loudly pro-
tests that she has had nothing to dc

letters to her and her husband protest
ing her innocence.

bring the body down until the chest
rests on the chair. Then send it back
again. This gives action to the muscles
of the arm and forearm, the chest and
back, to the neck, and, in short, is an
exercise for the whole body. 1t seems
very simple, but will be found not SO
easy as it looks. 1t should not be over
done.
Indeed, that advice not to overdo is
one which is necessary for all who be-
come interested in any physical exer-
else. Ten minutes in the morning and
ten at night are sufficient. When the
exercises for the day are over take a
crash or Turkish towel and rub the
body until the blood is well started and
the system in glow.
OF course nothing can be done by re-
membt ring to-day and forgetting to
morrow. Only systematic training
can result in good.

To Aerate Milk.

Unaerated milk is said to be q great
enemy of infants and one special cause
of cholera infantum. The process Of
aerating milk is very simple. and CON
sists in allowing the milk to flow from
one receptacle to another i'll fine
streams, SO that 1t may come in contact
with cool, pure air. If nothing better
is at hand let it run through nice,
clean colander two or three times. A
better arrangement is perforated milk
pans, one above the other, through
which the milk may run in finestrcams.
1t is held that tyrotoXicon poison is
generated in cream Tor want of proper
aeration, and that this causes cholera

than milk cooled upon ice.--Detroit

go over will; the hands very close to-
gcther. There are many other ways OF
developing the chest, but if the four
givan are thoroughly tested nothing
more will be required. There are two
exercises which are used a great deal
for the back and lower limbs. one of
which is done by trying without bend
ing the knees to touch the tips OF the
fingers to the floor. This is the one
athletic exercise in which woman en-
hibits her superiority over man. No
Adam can rival Eve in this. Try at
first to go down and up quickly, and
though for some time you may not be
able to go anywhere near the floor, yet
as the back becomes accustomed to the
strain you can 20 more slowly and
finally get down easy.
The second one is done by trying to
rise from a sitting position on the floor
without touching the hands to the floor
using one foot only. Be very careful
in trying this. 1t is not graceful po-
sition in which to be caught, and, be-
sides, is more or less attended with dam
ger. Yet it is eXhilarating, and if you
once succeed in getting up try to 20
back again, still without touching the
floor; but remember, two or three
times is enough to do it--once is enough
for some people. The exercise discounts
all the patent pads on the continent as
a hip developer.
One more exercise may be recon-
mended, which must be gone through
carefully. Take a chair, use it for sup
porting the hands, which you will have
to place quite far apart, stand as far
apart as your arms will permit, and

WRONGHEADEp PEOPLE.
Those with Whom 1t Is Difficult to G.
Along.

Along.
Among the most unpleasant people
one is compelled to rub shoulders with
on life's highway are the class whose
minds take hold of every thing. as it
were, the wrong cud foremost. They
arc usually Us obstinate as perversc,
from Inexperienced premises they adj
here to with us much tenacity as if
they were Gospel truths. One knows
not how to deal with such incorrigiblcs.
Good-humorcd rallying they are as like
~ as not to mistake for studied insult,
kind words for humbug, endeavors tc
instruct and convince for airs of superb
GRITTY: and whatever one may do or say
with view of bcnefiting them, they
mistake for insidious attempts to get
on their blind side. Their field of moral
vision is filled with Il mist of suspicion
which distortS every thing, and it is in
vain to reason with them; for you can
no more do away with their abs~d inn
pressions than you can wipe out craven
letters with sponge. Error, we sup
pose, is to them what truth is to right
headed men and women, and they cling
to it because they believe in it. They
arc objects of commiscration; yet, be-
ing unabatablc nuisanccs, it is prudent
to give them a wide berth.
1t is really Il sad thing to be predis-
posed by nature to miaconccive and
misconstrua; but it is equally unpleas-
ant to be misunderstood and miscon-
strued We. therefore, make it Il rule
to have as little as possible to do with
invcterately wrongheaded people.-E.

project to build a home for INDECENT
mediums which is supposed to have
originated with Ann O'Delia, who has
been recently calling upon Mrs. Beach.
The fat medium handed in the first dol
lar for the fund, announcing that she
had got it from the spirit world. Mrs.
Beach's rooms are full of spool1 pictures
of ancient Egyptian, Greek and As
syrian masters, all of which have cost
heavily.
The finest specimen of spooli work

her friends is q photograph OF herself

is a picture of AmarOna, supposed
ancient Egyptian magician, which Mrs.
Beach pronounces to be very lifellke. "
1t was produced by the spirits at a
seance in the room of one DR.. Rogers.
at the Lafayette Hotel. A sheet was
spread on an easel and Rogers, who was
sitting by, left some fincly-powdered
crayon for the spoo?ss, who promptly
made the picture. Another of the me-
diumi for the production of spookish
art is James Sautcr, who announces
himself by sign hung up in his bed
room window as an astrologcr and
palmist. From him Mrs. Beach got a
daub of Cassandra. He does a thriving
business casting horoscopes and reading
palms, for which he gets his own palm

CRIMINAL COURT.
Progress of the Avant Murder Trial at
the Court House.

The Avant murder trial at the
court house is progressing slowly,
and is attracting large crowds daily.
The State is not yet through intro
ducing witnesses, and it is safe to say
that the trial will not be concluded
this week. DIR. j. II. Wickham, Of
Palmyra, was put on the stand this
morning and was put through a
lengthy examination. He was put
forward by the State to explain to
the jury how heart disease and apo
plexy acted on the human body in
producing death. His explanations
were lucid and unusually pointed.
One point made by the prosecution
with the doctors testimony, and it is
a strong one, was that persons
afflicted with fatty degeneration OF
the heart, the disease from Which Mrs.
Avant was alleged to have been suf-
fering, never die with commissions.
There is proof that the deceased died
with commissions and this exper, ties
timony was introduced to show that
heart disease does not Kill people that
way.
Judge Tyler has come to the con-
clusion that it will besome time next
week before the case will be con
Guided and he has cautioned the jury
about their eating. He does not
want any sick jurors in the case and
has recommended that their rations
