It was in such a training school that
Mr.. Winthrop developed his genius for
craftsmanship and oratory. While he
remained in active political life, he
was a supporter of the old WING party,
but as he himself says, he was by no
me ans Ia accord with the views ex-
pressed by Mr.. Webster in his famous
7th of March speech, and later in the
same year, 1850, Mr.. Winthrop was one
of twelve senators who voted against
the fugitive slave bill He was too
conservative TO suit the free-soilers of
the day, however, ana being defeated
by narrow margins for senator and
governor of Massachusetts, he retired
from political life, except as a speaker
in few Of the presidential campaigns
that followed When the war came
on he advocated its prosecution with
spirit.
Among the more important orations
delivered by Mr.. Winthrop, that on
The Pilgrim Fathers" given at New
York in 1882 first attracted national
attention to him. He spoke the Grafton
at the laying of the corner stone of the
Washington monument in 1S4s, aud
prepared the address on its completion
in 1885, as already stated, which was
read by Gov Long in his absence on
account of illness. More. especially
noted were his Boston centennial
Grafton in 1875 and his Grafton on the
hundreth anniversary of the battle of
Yorktown in 1881. In all of these adj
dresses he has appealed in stirring
words to the patriotism of his country
men. 1t was at Yorktown that, in the
shadow of President Garfelds death,
he gave this eloquent peroration:

cept from ourselves. There is no boun-

RAILROAD Restaurants in sweden.

In Sweden, the railroad stations
where meals are served are knownsby
the simple but suggestive picture of a
crossed knife and fork against the
name of the station. On entering the
dining-room the traveller sees that it
is furnished with a number of small
tables, each with the cloth spread but
destitute of dish or food or any article
whatever. In the center Of the room is
a big table on which are knives, forks,
plates and napkins. The traveller helps
himself to these articles, and presently
the different viands which go to make
up the repast are brought in and placed
on the big table. The guest helps him.

There are but few left Of the genera.

George Bancroft, the oldest of the

One OF the Curious EccentrIcities of the
Human System.
The susceptibility of certain persons
to ivy poison is one of the curious &C.
centricities of the human system that
the medical profession frequently has
to encounter. Many persons are not
in the least effected by it, while others
cannot go anywhere in its vicinity
without feeling the injurious effects.
one instance of extreme susceptibility
is given where a brush-pile was burn
ing when a stranger, passing by was
poisoned by the floating smoke, and
broke out in rash with violent itching
all over the face and hands. In anoth-
er case, some old stakes and rubbish
that had been left on a brush-pile for
years were removed, when the laborer
was severely attacked with this diff
Guilty, the eyes being almost closed from
the swelling Of the face. This poison
is somewhat eccentric in its action, and
its victims never know just what course
it may take. It sometimes makes It's
appearance on one arm or one ankle,
and may appear in several succeeding
years at about the same date. Some
times it is a permanent tenant, break
ing ont all over the body whenever the
system has been overheated. Again,
it will form tiny specks just under the
skin, and after few days showing a
small, red middle and slightly raised
rim, which comes off and brings the
little hard speck with it. The itching
is almost intolerable, and nothing yet
invented or discovered by medical sci
'ence IS able to afford relief

The Clever RetoTt of an English Physician
TO an Impertinent Clerk.
English newspapers, in the days
when advertisements were heavily
taxed, published the titles of books re-
viewed in their columns, but never the
prices, because the excise Office held
that an annexed price was an adver-
tisement, and, as such, taxable. The
custom continued for long time after
the tax on advertisements had been re-
moved.
The London newspapers also made a
distinction between simple notice of
a death, for which they charged FIVE
shillings, and a brief obituary, for
which they demanded seven and six.
pence.
One day Dr. Thomas Hume, grave,
satirieal London doctor, called at the
Office of morning journal and silently
placed upon the counter the announce
ment of the death of friend, together
with five shillings. The clerk glanced
at the paper, tossed it one side and
said, gruffiy: ''Seven and SKIP
II have frequently" answered Hume,
"had occasion to publish these simple
notices, and have never before been
charged more than five shillings."
''Simplel" repeated the clerk, with
out looking up. There's an added
line, universally beloved and deeply
regretted isn't there? Seven and six"
Hume produced the additional half
crown and laid it deliberately by the
others, observing, in his most solemn
tone: Congratulate yourself, sir, that
this is an expense which your ex-
ecutors will never be put to.
