them his goose for q Thanksgiving
dinner. He cuts garments to suit all
customers, from the most fashiona-

from the most elegant to the most
clumsy. He keeps all kinds of trim
mings for sale, and will dispose of
them on reasonable terms to the hon.

must go to some other shop, as ne
cannot leave his business to give them
such trimmings as they deserve. He

scemeing to raise the wind; and will
take in payment most things which
other people take, especially cash and
cabbage-when he can get them.

THE WILMOT PROVISO.

Nearly seventy years ago, when we
faced war with Mexico President
Polk asked for money to negotiate
with that country in the vain hope
of aVerting hostilities, David VIII
mot, of Pennsylvania, a member OF
the lower house of Congress, stirred
up a hornets nest by Offering an
amendment that in case any terri
tory was secured from Mexico neither
slavery nor involuntary servitude ex-
cept for crime should exist in the
new acquisition. Wilmot was
Democrat, but opposed to the Texas
policy of the administration. The
proviso came up scores of times in
Congress during the debates pre-
vious to the war, during its continu-
ance and afterwards, and the one IA
nous speech of Abraham Lincoln
during his solitary term in Congress
was in favor of the proviso, which
became the shibboleth of anti-slavery
extension adhered to by most of the
Northern Wings and some of the
Democrats. 1t never was enacted,
but as a fact slavery never existed
in the territory which we acquired
from Mexico except in few isolated
instances. California voted for free
dom and drove Jefferson Davis into
mysteries, although he finally ac-
quiesced because no one in California
wanted slaves.--Philadelph In
dlirer.

to all blind chiidren-a perilous phase
Of the sight lust, probably produces a
sensation like the seeing of stars
from a fall. This goes on without
check in the home The mother does
not understand that it means real
idioey or death if not restrained,
In the blind babies homes the
child is nourished, oiled, massaged
and looked after as carefully as If it
had the typhoid fever, and the mind
is slowly awakened meanwhile by
special teachings. Often it is months
before there is any sign of improve
ment. 1t took a year to teach one
little girl to grasp an object and lay
it down at will. Now she walks and
talks, shows much intelligence and
delights in play.
Another child was five years old
when we took her from the idiot de-
partment, where she was thought to
be untrainable and hopelessly feeble
minded. She is now fifteen. She won
a gold medal given lately to the best
pupil in the school of 1000 children.
There are about eighty thousand
adult blind in the United States. How
many died in babyhood is a painful
question Most of the adult blind are
absolutely dependent persons, without
grace, without poise, without the in
ner life that means so much to all of
us, the life of Imagination, which
books and thought develop. Taken in
babyhood, they might in many cases
have been seif-supporting. In nearly
all cases. their lives could have been
rendered richer, fuller, better worth
living.
In the constructive imagination of
the author, In the art of the orator,
