Bryant, of Someryille, Mass, has
decided views on the late income
tax law, and very decided con-
tempt for the reversible aud corrupt
United States Supreme Court. He
expressed it by sending to them a
postal card, on which was written:

RULES FOR HoT WEATHER.
The Philadelphia Times says: "The
first necessity ia extremely hot
weather is to keep the head as cool
as possible. A moist linen hand
kerchief on the head ander the hat
is a sensible precauti0n. Those
who wear heavy wooden hats should
always have them ventilated by
small holes in the crown. Horses
can be very much protected by a
small linen or muslin awning over
the head between the ears, high
enough to allow free current of air
between it aud the head. The ten-
dency of most men is to drink cool
ing drinks excessively during the
hot weather. 1t is mistake. The
same people as a rule who drink
beer to warm them up in Winter
drink the same beer to cool them
off in Summer, aud with many who
do not use spirituous liquors it is
the custom to overload the stomach
with all kinds of iced drinks. The
best way to protect against excess
i've heat is to eat and drink with
great moderation, and to moderate
exercise as much as the condition
and circumstances Of the person
may permit. It. is impossible to
keep cool in heated term such as
we have upon MS, but the majority
of the people add much to the OPP
pressiveness of the heat by fretful-
ness and indulgences."

"Au Old Mans Advice to a
Young Man."


Miller Thompson, Bishop of Missis-
sippi, recently delivered an address
to College graduates, from which
we extract:
"Paal said to Timothy: For I
am now ready to be offered, and the
time of my departure is at hand. l
have fought good fight, I have
finished my course, l have kept the
faith; benceforth there is laid up for
me a crown of righteousness, which
the Lord, the righteous Judge, shall
give me at that day, and not to me
| only, but unto all them also that
love isappearing.'
This is the advice of an old man
to young man, of Paul to limo
thy. Consider the relations of the
two. Theyoung man is just enter
ing life, and all his work is before
him. The work of the old man is
done. His life is lived. He has
had experience, and he advises him
to live as he has, to do as he has
done. Where is the gray-headed
man who win to-day stand up before
the world and point to the life he
has lived for pattern, and say
Live as | have livedv
Paul threw away all of his ad-
vantages; his former friends lied
about him and abused him. The
man who talks about and abuses
another because he holds some other
belief and belongs to some other re-
ligious body has the Devil 10 his
heart, but the world is full of such
people as it was then.
Paul was obliged to make new
friends. And now his end is near
and he writes to Timothy to advise
him. All the property he had was
cloak aud some manuscript. He
knows he is to be beheaded soon,
and yet he writes a letter of advice
to a young man!
What does it mean! The ideal
makes the man. Just what a man
thinks that he is. His character
depends on his conception of life.
St. Paups conceptions of life do not
reign to-day, yet, are they not the
ideas that have made all heroes,
that have saved you, that have
made your existence possible.
Will you take his advice, or will
sou begin life determined to be rich?
There is no more pitiable object
on earth than rich man. He is
dead, aud is no moro than mule.
The meanest thing in American So
ciety is the reverence paid to riches,
the most AFFECT worship known.
His gang follows him and out OF
reverence for his gold, the world
worships him
But he drops dead! The master
of Wall street and Lombard street
one day, he is $50 pounds of dead
flesh the next put him in a box and
then in hole in the ground. LIE,
his heirs fight over his money and
the lawyers get it all. Lawyers are
sometimes necessary, and in cases
like this when they get it all / am
! glad.
Will this be your life, young men
young women3 You may have an
ambition to become President of the
United States, or Senator9 What
does such a life amount to? Whe
can name all the men who have
gone to tue Senate from any one
! State, and who cares tos Ii YOU
live a politician you will soon be for
gotten, and justly SO. The bes,
men are very seldom elected-the
voice Of the people is not always
the voice of God-very far from it.
The men who can die, but cannot
lie, are the men who will live in his
tory after they are dead. To-day
st. Paul is honored everywhere; in

Trusts in Bimettailisn.

L. E. Holden, of Cleveland, Ohio,
TINS writes his views to the New
York Herald:
III am a firm believer in bimettal-
lism' and I mean by that the free
coinage of gold and silver, their use
by Government, banks and the peo-
pie, without discrimination in favor
of one or against the other. 1t is
the law that makes either metal
money of final redemption, and it
gives it legal tender power. The
Constitution expressly states that
Congress shall have power to coin
money and regulate the value there
of, aud further, that no State shall
make anything except gold and sill
yer legal tender. Therefore, l be-
lieve that all primary money should
be gold and silver, and that all bills
or paper money should be redeema-
able in coin, and that all bonds
made or issued by the Government
should be payable in coin.
AS ours is a Democratic Govern
ment, aud the unit of suffrage is
the individual man, and as the
masses of the people and public
sentiment are the ouly recognized
supreme authority, so believe that
the money which is most largely
used BY the common people should
be the unit of value. l therefore
am in favor of the old law, which
was repealed in 1873, by which sill
yer was made the unit of value in
stead of gold. I AN in favor of
re-enactment OF the law making
silver the unit of value, and giving
it full legal tender power, side by
side with gold. Believing that, as
in the past, we prospered under BIZ
mettalism beyond all other coun-
tries, so in the future We would
have steadier values and greater
prosperity under free coinage of
both gold and silver on the ratio of
16 to l, than on a single gold STAN
dard.
[ am decidedly opposed to the
| purchase of gold or silver by the
Government, believing that it is
the province of the Government to
coin money, aud it is the right of
the people to furnish the bullion and
have it coined free,
This system will steady prices, be
in the interest of the masses of the
people and Of the producers of the
country, and not in the interest of
money lenders and dealers in bonds
and securities. 1t will start the
country Gu new era of prosperity,
with rising prices, and give back
the old time courage, hope and con-
tidence. So believing, | am in favor
of an American monetary system,
based upon the free coinage aud an
honest use of both gold and silver.
| l further desire to place myself on
record in this prophecy, which I
expect to see wrought into history
that the United States will adopt
the free coinage of gold and silver
on a ratio of Is to 1. lido not think
it is any more necessary for US to
try to force the people of this coun-
try to conform to the monetary sys-
tem of Europe than do that we
should undertake by law to compel
all the people of America to speak
French or German"

Norton's Intelligencer: Several
good fellows were ''indulging" at a
Dallas bar, when a seedy individual
entered and with a quivering voice
begged glass of beer. The beer
was given him; he turned to those
present and offered this toast:
Upon this foam destruction rides
Within this glass does ruin swim,
Perdition at the bottom lies,
And death goes dancing round the brim.

If you want to get rich, 60 to
Nyassaland, on the borders of Lake
Nyassa, in mid-Africa. 1t is the
garden, spot of the world. It is a
tableland elevated from 5000 to
5000 feet above sea level. This
puts it above the miasms which are
the deadly bane of tropical Africa
and gives it a climate cool aud de-
lightful. White men live there in
health and comfort the year round.
The missionaries have got in their
work aud clad the black natives in
white calico, which adds to the pic
turesque effect of the settlements 10
this beautiful region.
The district in which Nyassaland
is situate is officially known as the
British Central African protecto-
rate. This being the most desira-
bic spot in Central Africa, the Brit
ish naturally grabbed it for their
own. As yet, the white population
is only 400, bat already there is a
trade to and from the settlements
that amounts to 100000 year.
Labor is done by the blacks, who
work for almost nothing. Some of
the richest land on the earth can
be bought in Nyassaland for from
70 cents to 81 80 an acre.
But the greatest product of Nyas.
saland is coffee, its most striking
feature is its vast coffee plantations.
The berry grows here of such a
quality and in such abundance as
can be found nowhere else, it is said.
