I'll II Is to-day more firmly
HXed than ever in the practice of all classes.
The custom Of remem beriug the birthdays /
OF our friends with these souvenir cards is /
not so very ancient In fact it does not :
date much further back than fifty years or
so, and, doubtless, had its origin in the !.
custom OF sending valentines, which. within
that period, has fallen into virtual dsuse.
In early days some great poets were not
above turning their fancy to the writ
ing OF birthday verses, and many of our
modern cards are inscribed with gems from
The pens OF Byron, Moore, Burns, Cowper,
johnson, Hood and others. Even the great
Pope has given us a beautiful sentiment in
the two lines that preface poem addressed
by hlm 10 Martha Bl0unt on her birthday:
Is that a birthdays TITS, alas too clear
Ills but the funeral of another year,
Thackeray, too, has left us Some beautiful
birthday verses, notably, some stanZaS sent
by him to an American lady, Miss Lucy
Batter, the first of which reads:
Seventeen roses In a ring,
Thick with silver flowers beSet

AS to exercise, it is scarcely possible at
first to persuade corpulent people to take as
much as they ought. Where they are thor
oughly in earnest, however, they soon learn
to enjoy it and feel the deprivation when it
is denied them. Gymnastic exercise under
competent teachers is, of course, the best;
but walking is highly beneficial and can be
made TO answer every purpose. 1t should be
borne in mind that sharp, brisk walk
which produces respiration is far better
than a long, leisure stroll, owing 10 the
greater elimination Of waste.
1t is scarcely necessary to 90 deeply into
the subject of diet. The first essential is to

The article made other sensational state

was more than column in length and
appeared beneath sensational headlines.
Calls on HaIstead to Retract.
After reading the publication yesterday
morning Governor Campbell sent the fol-
lowing telegram to The Commercial Ga
zette: UNLESS you retract in your next
Issue in the broadest and clearest and most
positive language the publication made by
you this day, and purporting to be copied
from the New York Recorder, l shall bring
suit against you tomorrow. The man
whom you call Ralph W. Wilkinson, and

meek editorial comment today is worse

The Letter to The Press.
This letter is as follows: Your Col

you concerning his statements in refer
ence to Governor Campbell. The only

statement that Governor Campbell is hard

that Governor Campbell drew upon any
bank in Columbus, or any other place,
while in New York and that l made good

and malicious libel as was ever pub

edge to you that he has lied.n

was very offensive; it was full of cpl
thetS; when the witness came in, DR..
Garrison spoke about the letter, and
from that got to talking about DR..
Baird; he said the Doctor had been
abusing him again, and on the witness
expressing surprise, DR.. Garrison said
he had called him names on Mar
ket street, aud in other places,
and emphatically said it had to
stop; he had stood all OF IL
he could, and the next time it occurred
he would either fix him. or was liked
for him." or would "kill him." 1t was
something equivalent to that, but wit
ness could not repeat the exact language;
it might have been any one OF these ex-
presSonS, but he could not definitely
say which one. DR.. Garrison was very
much in earnest, and when he made the
statement that sit had to stop" he en-
phasized it, bringing down his fist or
his hand. The witness was asked if he
could recall the exact language, but he
said he could not; according to his
best recollection it was one of those
terms, but he could not be more definite.
The defense announced they would
crosS-examine at another time.
A rule was issued for VIM. Cites, who
was not present, although he had been
sent for. The State then announced
that they might conclude to-day, as
they had but six more witnesses to put
on in making up their case.
After the adjournment, members OF
the jury went to Judge Campbell and
asked him TO do all in his power to ex-
pedite the trial, and he promised to
do so.
