Morrissey had gained second and
an absolutely unique notoriety
through his election to the lower
House of the Federal Congress as the
representative from New York city.
Only ten or twelve years earlier he
had gained worldwide notoriety be-
cause he had defeated John c. Heenan
in the prize ring in a battle which
was fought at Long Point, Canada,
which was a supreme test of endur-
ance, both men fighting with bare
fists. Although Morrissey then de-
feated Heenan, the latter's reputa-
ton as a boxer and man of great
stamina was enhanced by this meet
ing SO that a year later he fought a
battle for the championship of the
world at Marlborough, England, with
the English champion, Tom Savers.
The Heenan-Sayers prizefight COM
manded the almost undivided atten-
ton of the people. both in Great Brit
ain and in the United States, although
the battle was fought at the time
when the preliminary arrangements
for the presidential campaign of 1860
were under way. 1t was accounted a
unique feature of New York political
life that a champion prizehghter, as
Morrissey was, should have been able
TO secure nomination and receive
enough votes to elect him.
Morrissey. however, when a member
of Congress, gained and deserved
some measure of the respect of his
colleagues. He was strangely diff
dent. He never was self conscious
and he was in his entire demeanor
as modest and self-respecting a man
as could be found upon the lower floor
of the House.
There. was always a feeling of Won
der that Morrissey. who could have
been returned to Congress for several
terms at least, should have preferred
a seat in the State Senate at Albany.
| was instructed to call upon him at
his headquarters and to ask him If
there were any special reason why he
chose Albany rather than Washington
as a place for the kind OF political
career that he wanted to make.
The night was very warm when |
called upon him. His headquarters at
one of the old-fashioned hotels in New
York, no longer standing. were
thronged, but it was an orderly and
quiet crowd, with not the slightest in
dication that any of those who We're
there had been drinking.
Morrissey stood in the centre of a
throng of admirers giving various or
ders in quick, laconic utterances. He
wore neither coat nor waistcoat, nor

The Sun, Venus and Uranus are
all in benefic aspect today, accord
ing to astrology, and it is time
for confident enterprise in business
and domestic affairs.
Until late in the afternoon it is
held to be suspicious for initiative

is SO fayorably inclined in its re-
lation to the planets that persons
who WELD power are said to be in
ffuenced toward generosity and help
fitness. It is time to deal with
financiers, heads of business con-
Germs and employers
The good aspects of the sun ar
believed to impart energy, ampition
and loyalty; they tend to promote
success and to encourage men IN
authority to help those less fortunate
than themselves.
The CONFORMATION is especially ia
yorable for women, who have hlsh

keen intellect was always in search of
new fields for thought and her inter
est in medicine soon gave way to a
new cause. This time it was theoso-
ply. The outcome of this last inter-
est was her election TO the presidency
of the Philosophical Society. Through
out her public career she was a pio-
neer in the cause of higher education
of women and did her most lasting
work along this line. One day. when
she was AZ, when she was on her way
to the laboratory of the scientist,
Pasteur, she caught cold, contracted
lung trouble and died within a few
weeks.

amid tolls and suffering, the faculty
of happiness and be able to propa-
gate it in sort of salutary contagion
among ones fellow-men, is to do a
work of fraternity in the noblest
sense" says Charles Wagner
Next to the duty of self-denial
comes the duty of delight. What ripe
ness is to an orange, what song is
to a lark, what culture and refine
ment are to the intellect, happiness is
to the soul. AS vulgarity and ignor-
ance betoken a neglected mind, so
unhappiness and misery proclaim the
neglected heart. The normal nature
will keep strong and fresh the chords
that vibrate joy.
Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett says
that children, a garden, and to real
ize how good and happy thing is
to live, to make life joyous are her
special interests.
