A FABLE.

The Squirrel, Owl and Nice. Also the Re-
Elections Of . Blue5sy.
It was in late summer and the owl sat
upon . branch looking very wise and
doing nothing, while the squirrel
busted himself with the nuts lying
about on the ground, gathering them
.expeditiously and slowing them away
in hollows and holes.
Winter came by and by and with its
sharp cold and deep snow, but still the
owl sat upon the branch looking wise
aud doing nothing. The squirrel jeered
at him. thinking that the owl must be
hungry and starving, because the bird
had not been a'provident one. Each day
the squirrel grew fatter. but the owl
did not change, which the squirrel
thought to be due to the feathers stuck
out by the owl in hts false pride.
When It was at last between fall and
spring time, the blue jay one day saw the
wise owl leave it's perch on the branch
and seize the fat, provident squirrel by
the neck and eat him. after which the
owl returned to the branch, and sat
upon It, looking wiser than ever. and the
blue jay wondered ifit was better to be
provident like the squirrel, wise like the
owl, or lucky like the mice that there
after ate of.the s0uirreEs store.

French Town Which Has Como Into .
:';t; Heritage OF Consumption.
It has long been q cause of con-
troversy among physicians as to wheth-
er consumption is contagious or not,
md one Of the strongest arguments,
says the New York journal, that it is
that has yet been produced is the story
Of the fate Of the villagers Of Alcntone..
Forty years ago this place WINS one OF
the 'healthiest villages in France, whose
inhabitants were of superb physical de-
velopment. It was discovered about
this time that the climate of Mentone
was remarkably beneficial in cases OF
lung diseases, and people afflicted in.
this way hocked thither from NIL parts
Of Hurope. The natural result was
that the people who had hitherto been
engaged in farming one and all betook
themselves to ministering in various
ways to tho throngs of invalids. The
strong and healthy women of Mentone
became laundresses and washed, with
out taking the least precautions. the
consumptives' clothes. The place is
now described as being bacillus pest

be contaminated.

land seized the occasion Of a patriotic
Independence day celebration to SEND
letter to Tammany, Hall calling at
tention to the imminent danger Of the
country and to the democratic party
arising from the free silver feeling
which has seized the democratic party
and urging the: organization to exert
it's influence to prevent the party from
adopting a bad money policy. It was
letter of regret at not being able to
attend the celebration at Tanlmany hall
After the reading of the presidents
letter an equally strong and patriotic
letter was. read from Senator Hill which
reiterated the principles of democracy
sound money and personal liberty.
President Cleyeiand's letter, which
was repeatedly interrupted with en-
g thusiastic cheers. was as follows:
1.-THE situation that confronts the coun'
try and the democratic party at this time
invests with unusual impressiveness this
commemoration Of our beginning as q ma
ton. When, as appropriate to the OCCASION
our stupendous advancement is recalled the
fact should not be overlooked that our
progress has not been by chance, but is the
result Of wise observance of the none
tarv laws that control national health and
vigor; and while we contemplate with
pride the commanding place we occupy
among the nations Of the earth, we should
not forget that this has been gained only
through a Jealous; preservation Of financial
soundness and careful maintenance OF
unsupported public credit.
1.-THE high and firm financial ground
which we have thus far been able to hold
should not be abandoned in the pursuit Of q
policy, never attempted without national
injury, and whose bright promise of individ-
ual benefit has never been fulfilled. If there
ie anything In present conditions that i'm.
peaches experience and indicates that we
can safely change our present high financial
standard for the free, unlimited and indie.
pendent coinage of silver, this should be
made plainly apparent before such a radical
departure finds a place in party creed. The
tremendous consequences OF a mistake in
dealing with the financial question now
pressed upon as democrats should con-
stantly make us thoughtful and soNcitous.
l am confident therefore that the voice OF
the Tammany society, always potent in
party council, will not fail to be heard in
warning and protest on IN occasion which
especially inspires patriotism, and at q time
when the felicitationsSof our people appro-
pirate to Independence day are mingled
with apprehension. Y ours very truly.
