Then and Now.

 

It wasn‘t so when I was young——
We used. plain'language then;

We didn't speak of “them galloots,”
Meaning boys or men.

When speaking of the nice hand—write
Of Joe, or Tom, or Bill. “

We did it plain—we didn't say.
“He slings a nasty quill.”

And when we saw a girl we liked,

, Who never failed to please,

We eaIIed her pretty, neat and good.
But not “about the cheese."

The boys sometimes got mad and fit ;
.We spoke of kit-ks and blows:

But now they “whack him on the snoot,”
Or “paste him on the nose."

Once, when a youth was turned away
By her he held most dear,

He walked upon his feet—dint now
He “walks off on his car."

W'e praised the man of common sense ;
“His judgment’s good,” we said;
But now they say, “Well, that old plump
IIas got a level heat .”

BRIDGEI’ORT.

(By way of Berkshire 00., Mass.)

Your correspondent recently left this city
by the sea for a brief business trip among
the mountains. He found the country look-
ing considerably fresher and more fruitful
than the land of steady habits. The “steady
habits” of Connecticut seem at present to in-
volve drought and dust. Either the people
are better than we or there is some other
reason for it, but Massachusetts has been
visited by many refreshing showers. We
witnessed one Thursday evening last, and it
was a most inspiring sight. We never knew
before that there was so much music in the
sound of falling rain. Williamstown, which
went wild over the nomination of Garfield,
received Hancock’s nomination with perfect
apathy. A Hancock Club was formed in
the College, and its entire membership was
eighteen. The remainder of the 200 students
belong to the Garfield Club. It is a some-
what significant fact that in our colleges, as
a rule, comparatively few favor the Democ—
racy.

The sickness at Adams, of which so much
has been said in the papers, is described by
eyewitnesses as something appalling. Think
of 600 people in a small village sick at once,
with the severest symptoms of cholera mor-
bus. Scattering cases have appeared in the
adjacent towns. The' latest opinion seems
to be that the disease is a result of malarial
poison. If so, it is aiming at original effects.

0n returning to Bridgeport we find that
the heat is the principal topic of conversa-
tion. The children of our city are fall—
ing sick because of its intensity. Many
prayers have been offered for rain, and we
expect an abundant supply before many
days, notwithstanding the snecrs of the
scientists. Faith already sees the parched

earth refreshed. ’ Carmen. .

'l‘lie International Rifle Match—
Splendid Shooting by both
Teams—The Americans win by
Twelve Points.

DOLLYMOUNT, J an: 29. The international
rifle match came off today, and like the pre-
vious similarcontests resulted in a victory
for the American team. The weather early
this morning was very threatening, but about
12:30 the wind shifted to the west, though it
still remained cloudy. The air was tolerably
clear and soft. There was considerable dis-
play of~ American and Irish hunting on the
way hither. Some houses were decorated
with evergreens, welcoming mottocs, etc.
The Irish team fired on targets Nos. 1 and 2
in squads, thus: John Rigby, William Rigby
and Milncr on target No. 1, and Fenton,Joynt
and Young on target No. 2. The Americans
fired on targets Nos. 5 and 6, thus :I Rath-
bone, Farrow and Brown on No. 5, and
Clarke, Scott and Fisher on No. 6. Farrow
used a Ballard rifle, Scott 21 Remington and
the other Americans Sharp’s rifles. The Irish

, all used Rigby breech-loaders,except Young,
who used a Farquarson-Medford. Firing at
the 800 yard range began at 12:30,and result-

ed as follows:

,When it was announced that the two teams
were tied at 800 yards by the unexampled
score of 436 points, such a cheering went up
as has never been heard on Dublin bay be-
fore. The same conditions of weather pre
vailed when the men commenced firing at the
next range, 900 yards. The magnificent dis—
cipline of the teams was shown at this range
in a remarkable manner. Scott,of the Ameri-
cans, dropped down, however, from his ped-
estal of fifteen bull’s-eyes, and an unlucky
inner cut down his score to 70. Following

is the score :

The fears of the Americans about inclem—
ent weather were happily not realized. The
weather was most auspicious for the match,
and when the marksmeu took places at the
last range of 1,000 yards, all the conditions
were favorable toward fine scores. Dull gray
clouds obscured the sun and gave a regular
Creedmor evening light all through the
shooting. What wind there was blew down
the range with almost unbroken regularity.
The flags showed but slight variation of di—
rection, not sufficient to interfere with accu—

rate shooting.

PoisonouSHCignreltcs.

Cigarette smoking is now a fashionable
habit, and one which is increasing at an
alarming rate among half-grown boys, and it
is the opinion of well-known physicians that
if this habit is not checked,’additions to our
asylums will be in order. A physician, to
satisfy himself that there was death in that
form of tobacco, had a cigarette analyzed.
The result was a startling one. The tobacco
was found to be strongly impregnated with
Opium, while the wrapper, which was war-
ranted to be rice paper, was proven to be the
most ordinary quality of paper whitened
with arfenic, the two poisons combined be-
ing present in sufllcient quantities to create
in the smoker a habit of using opium with-

. out his being aware of it, and which crav-
ing can only bc‘satisfied by an incessant con—
sumptiouof cigarettes.

Great Star Distances.

SUCCESS THAT HAS CROWNED PATIENT LABOR
C

 

' IN SEARCHING FOR THEM.

stars, or stellar parallax, is one of the inter-
esting problems of modern astronomy. In the
days of old the stars were supposed to hold
the same position in regard to each other
from age to age, and were therefore
called fixed stars _i.o distinguish them
from planets. Nothing can be further
from the truth. The telescope shows
that the stars are in constant motion, but
that the rate of motion is so slow that
thousands of years must elapse before the
eye can perceive any change. Some styrs
are coming towards us andjsome are receding
from us. The sun, which is only a star, is
moving, with all theplanets in his train. Our
earth, which is but an atom among atoms, is
whirling no one know: whither, through il—
liinitahle space. Even the serene heaven
abovn us is this same space pervaded by an
infinitely subtle other, whose particles are
soothing and surging like the waves of the
stromy sea. The motion of the stars once es-
tablished, itmust follow that some of them
are nearer to us than others,and very persist-
ent and painstaking have been the efforts to

- find out which of the shining suus of space

are our nearest neighbors.

Success has, however, crowned pati on
labor. Among the 50,000,000 stars that glim-
mer in the firmament, there are about a dozen
stars visible in our latitude that have a par—
allax ranging from a tenth to half a second
It would be natural to suppose that the
brightest stars are the nearest, but this is far
from being the case. The nearest star in the
northern heavens is a double star of the fifth
magnitude in the swan known as 61 Cygni.
The brilliant Sirius is nearly twicc'as far
away. The nearest star in the whole heavens
is Alpha Centauri, a bright star near the
south pole. . This has a parallax of nine-
tenths of a second, and is twice as near
as any other star. Its distance is computed
as more than 200,000 times our distance from
the sun, or nearly 20,000,000 of millions of
miles. If such be the inconceivable distance
separating us from the nearest star,what idea
can the finite mind form of the immensity of
space intervening between us and the more
remote?

Vigorous work is now being done in stellar
parallax by what is called Besscl’s method. A
star with proper motion, or one that has been
found to approach or recede from the sun, is
selected, and its position is compared night
after night, by means of the micrometer,
with other small stars in the vicinity having
one proper motion, and therefore presutued
to be furthor away. The star with proper
motion will clfangc its position in regard to
the mere remote ones when observed from
different parts of the earth’s orbit. Some
interesting and intricate work of this kind
has been successfully completed at Mr.
Seagraves’ private observatory byMr. Waldo
and Mr. Seagarve. The problem was to de-
termine the parallax of a star called Theta
Cassiopeia. This, by measuring its posi—
tion and distance from two small stars in the
vicinity, was found to be less than one-tenth
of a second. These enthusiastic astouomers
worked upon the problem from the lat of
September, 1878, to the Ist of November,
1879. During that time they made measure-
ments of each star on 120 nights. A trained
eye, keen perception and mathematical pre—
cision, as well as patience and persistence,
were involved in the solution of this delicate
and intricate problem. Thesczare the means
by which astronomy has won it most bril—
liant triumphs, and those who would become
practical astronomers must give their nights
to observation and their days to study.-

Dime Novels and Burglary.

The effect of a dcbased literature upon
youthful, minds has seldom had more
impressive illustration than is furnished by
the cases of the two little boys, Myron Ste—
vens and John Davies, who have just been
sent to the house of refuge by Judge W ol-_
sey. Another lad, Alva Davies, who
was concerned in the same crime, has been
committed to wait the action of the grand
jury, the responsibility attaching to his supe-
rior age—he being thirteen and his compan—
ions tcn~—supplying a reason for the different
line of treatment. " -

The burglary committed by these children
was at What is known as the Sands residence
at Milton, on the Hudson. They stole hun-
dreds of dollars’ worth _of property and de~
stroycd a great deal more. The scene in the
Sands house after the robbery is said by one
reporter to have “beggarcd description.”
Dainty wallpapers and curtains were smear-
ed with preserves. Costly silk drqsses were
cut into ribbons and furniture hacked to
pieces. Everything the lads could mutilate
or destroy was unsparcd. It appears from
their own confession that they got gloriously
drunk on wines found in the cellar. When
arraigned in court their demeanor was “im-
patient and defiant." They seemed, indeed,
to glory in their shameful achievement. One
precious young variet, Myron Stevens, who
is but ten years old, exclaimed, “I don’t care

I’m sorry for is I didn’t burn the — ranch
down, and half the village along with it.” '

The Sands house was not the only one the
boys pillaged. Several other residences were
visited and robbed by them, although none
suffered so much at their hands as the Sands
house. It was their practice, after securing
their booty, to drink themselves into intoxi
cation. They would then, in pure wanton—
ness‘; deface and befoul everything. about
them. The Stevens boy was asked why they
maliciously ruined so much property. “—
it, I don’t know,” was the reply ; “but it
was bully fun, I can tell you.” It is suppos-
ed that the'depredations of the- outlaws have
not been confined to Milton-on-the-Hudson.
Other places, used as summer resorts by
families and closed in winter, are believed to
have suffered at their hands.

It was made plain on the trial before Judge
Woolsey that the perversion of these callow
young minds was the work in a great degree
of what are called “dime novels.” The boys
said they wanted aboveall things to be high-
waymen. This was the prime object of
their ambition. But until they attained.
more effective strength and stature they
judged’that taking the road would be inexpe-
dient. The next best thing to highway rob-
bery they conceived to be burglary, and to
this they betook themselves with infinite
zest and dilligence. What has excited most
remark in the wretched affair is that the
youngest of the lads seems also to be the
most hardened and unconcerned. "We
won’t bc there long,” he declared, speaking
of the House of Refuge ; and Jack Sheppard
was never more confident of getting out of
Newgate than are these unhappy waits of
escaping the opportunity for reformation.

The story of these boys will strengthen a
persuasion already general among observant
thinkers that books of the kind whiclr have
been so tnisehievous to them are of far too
easy access to the young, as well as far too
many. How to deal with the problem it is
very difficult to determine; but that it should
be dealt with, and that in a manner more ef—

demonstrated very of ten of late, if seldom
with so sharp an emphasis as in this case at
Milton-on-thc Hudson.——N. Y. Post.

 

 

Mariunoxr IN Niiw ORLEANS—If we are
to credit the New Orleans Times, matrimony
is “played out” in thatllcity. A fashionable
young lady who has been interviewed on the
subject says that the men who are not mar—
ried are spoiled beyond all hope of redemp-
tion, while many of those who are married
are so angry with themselves for having gone
and done it that they keep away from their
homes as much as possible. As time goes on
and a period arrives when it might be sup-
posed that the memwould like to settle down,
it is found that they have lost all taste for
domestic life. and this is the reason why New
Orleans is crowded with old bachelor beaux.
Society, in short, is found to offer much
greater attractions titan home.

SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY.

At a conference in I-Iumburg.in October,
1870, Lieut. Weyprecht’s plan of establishing
acircle of international observing stations
around the polar regions was considered.
As a result several governments jagreed to
organize such stations during the present
year, and active preparations are now being
made in various parts of the world to carry
the scheme into effect. The United States
Signal service proposes to locate an observa-
tiry at Point Barrow, in Alaska; while the
Howgate colony will form, at Lady Frank-
lin Bay, another station in the international
series

The trite aphorism, “There is nothing new
under the sun,” seems again exemplified by
a statement to the effect that the Japanese
were practically acquainted with the art of
luminous painting nine centuries ago, thus
anticipating the inventor of the supposed
new phosphorescent paint. A Japanese
eyelopedia cites an account of a wonderful
picture of an ox which left the frame to graze
during the day and returned at night. This
picture came into possession of an emperor
of the Sung dynasty (A. D. 976098) who
sought an explanation, which none of his
countries could give. At length a Buddhist
priest showed that a certain nacreous sub-
stance obtaincd from oysters, when ground
into color~matcria1, rendered the pictures
painted with the latter luminous at night
and invisible through the day. The figure
of the ox was painted with this pliosphores~
cent pigment, and, becoming invisible by
day, the superstition arose that the animal
had gone out to graze. .

Cremation appears to be making rapid
progress in Germany. Fifteen cremations
were performed last year at Gotha, and forty-
cight bodies have been burned in Milan dur-
ing the past three years.

Prof. Thurston, testing pieces of the wire
cable of the Fairnicunt Suspension Bridge,
recently taken down at Philadelphia, after
being in use about forty years, found the iron
to be fully equal in tenacity, elasticity and
ductility to the best wire of the same size
foundiu the market. This fact and similar
results obtained by another experimenter in
1875 lead him to the important conclusion
that iron subjected to the ordinary strains of
properly designed bridges does not deterio-
rate with ago.

Most of the ferns found in our woods
contain more or less starch, and when prop-
erly prepared are very palatable and nutri-
tious. An attempt was recently made in
France to popularize them as an article of
food. The young shoots of the common
brake fern, when exposed above the soil to
the. air and sunlight, become exceedingly
fleshy, white and tender. The bill tribes of
Japan live‘on ferns all the year round, eating
the tender leaflets in spring and later in the
season the starch extracted from the roots.
A certain famous French painter is known to
pride himself on his fern omelets'

The height of tides is augmented by con
verging coast lines. As laid down by Bache
the eastern coast of North America has a
great “southern bay,” between Florida and
Cape Hatteras. A “middle bay” between
Hatteras and Nantucket, and an “eastein
bay” north of Nantucket; and while the
tide is one to one and one-half feet at South.
ern Florida, tWo feet at Cape Hatteras, and
only one foot at Southeastern Nantucket, the
height is seven feet within the “southern
buy” at Savannah. five feet in the “middle
bay” near New York, and ten feet in the
“eastern bay” at Boston. In the narrow bay
of Fundy it reaches forty feet, and sometimes
seventy feet at the spring tides. '

Among the recent discoveries is “natural
lime,” which occurs in Kansas. It is found
in large beds. It is of a clear, white color
and fine texture, and is readily converted
into a plastic condition by the addition of
sand andwater. The mortar thus prepared
has apparently the same qualities as the best
made from “burned lime”. It sets and bar-
deus quickly, and turns very White.

A curious feature of the creeks and lagoons
of northern Queensland is mentioned. It is
called “floating grass.” It grows on the
surface of the water, putting forth stems
and rootsgwhich become so densely indir-
wovcn that, even with twenty feet of water
underneath, horses have been known to cross
on the mats thus formed.

Some peculiar medicines are employed by
the Chinese. Calcined and powedered an-
tolope horns are used in cases of convulsions,
rheumatism and even apoplcxy. Plasters
of elephant skin are believed to cure bruises
very quickly. Pills made from the sloughs
of caterpillar larvaarc taken to expel worms
and relieve headache. Inflammation of the
lungs is treated with glue from the hides of
donkeys. Alcoholic preparations of scor-

 

pions are given in all kinds of maladies.’

For most internal diseases a powdered insect
the name of which has not been mentioned
is administered. The skins of serpents, ap-
plied to the body, are supposed to cure lep-
rosy, rheumatism and paralysis. A mucus
obtained from toads and mixed with flour is

used to stimulate the nostrilsiu cases of faints‘

and convulsions. .

From the fact that the lower animals ar-
rive at muturity much earlier than man, and
thcinfcrior races of man developmore rap-

idly than the superior, a French biologist

infers that precocity indicates a low order of
development. -

 

A Good and Wholesome Ha'rvest‘

Drink.

As alcoholic drinks have happily long
been driven from the harvest field, there
have been various other drinks beside water
substituted, but scarcely any of them meet—
ing fully the conditions sought for in the
way of a wholesome satisfying beverage.
Water, even in all its purity, does not seem
to quench the thirst and stimulate the body,
as it produces additional perspiration and
passes through the pores almost like passing
through a colander, leaving the system ex-
hausted and weak ; besides, a drink of cold
water,whcn suffering under a great degree of
heat, is dangerous, even at times producing
sudden death. Latterly in England and
elsewhere a drink is prepared by mixing oat-
meal with water, in the proportion of three
or four ounces to a gallon of water. This
is found not only to satisfy the thirst better
than water, or molasses and water, even
when tempered with vinegar or other acid,
but to produce additional strength of body.
Oat meal possesses a peculiar aroma and acts
as a stimulant to the surface of the skin as
to cause the complete digestion of the liquid.
Men employed in an atmosphere of the in—
tensest heat are much comforted by it.
Hence it is in a measure “victuals and drink”
possessing only virtues and Without any
drawback whatever.

Just now the time is here to give it a trial,
and we shall be glad if at the end of the sca-
sou those substituting oat-meal and water
will make report as to the results—German-

Union Powder in u. Rebel Gun.

0n receiving news of Hancock’s nomina-
tion some enthusiastic democrats of Mohawk
borrOWed a rebel gun which Paymastcr Car—
mody sent home from Alabama, having been
captured by the navy during the war. The
republican merchant of whom they bought
the pewder said it was Union powder, and
he didn’t know how it Would work in a
rebel gun; but they said they would risk it.
They planted the gun near the canal, loaded
it up, lighted the fuse, and ran back a safe
distance, saw the flash, heard the report,

 

pronounced it good, and went back to the

place where the gun was, but it was nowhere
to be found. They concluded it must have
gone into the canal—which event had a de-
pressing cflect on the democrats and caused
them to wonder if :the election would result
in the same manner. Can the Union presi-
dential gun (Hancock) stand the rebel pow-
der (voters)? In other words will the “blue

and “gray" work harmoniously together ?—‘

Whether Well or 111.

Unthinking, idle, wild and young,

I laughed and danced, and talked and sung;
And proud of health, or freedom vain,
Dreamed not of sorrow, care or pain ;
Concluding in those hours of glee, c
That all the world was made for me.

But when the hour of trial came,

When sickness shook this trembling frame,
When folly’s gay pursuits were o'er,

And I could sing and dance no more-—

It then occurred, how sad ’twould be,

Were this world only made for me.
—Pr:’ncess Amelia.

 

Achk in the Country.

. H010 is a little incident which has special

Significance ill-St at this time. Last summer

a lady in a neighboring city became interest-

ed in the charity called the Children's Week,

by which the boys and girls who would never

otherwise see the country are received as

guests or boarders at farm houses for a week

or fortnight. There was a lame girl who sat

at a corner of a noisy-street selling papers
and peanuts, a wizened, stolid little creature,
with dull eyes and leathery skin. Her the
lady chose, prompted by some passing freak,
as the subject of her charity, and sent her
out to a farmer among the hills in Berks
County to board. The farmer and his wife
had secretly a poor opinion of “town tramps”
or humanitarian experiments. They gave the
children their meals for which they were paid,
ordered them out of the berry patch,counted
the spoons when they were going, that none
should be stolen, and felt that they had dis-
charged their full duty. This girl, unlike the
others, neither robbed the cherry trees nor
trampled the berry beds. She sat all day on
the door steps looking out at hill and field,or
sometimes followed the housewife to ham or
poultry yard, or gravely watched the cows
and chickens as if they had been new mira~
cles in the world that day. “A dumb, half—
witted creature,” was the good woman‘s
verdict when she went away. In April, the
farmer’s wife received an urgent message
asking her to come to this girl, who was
dying of some slow inherited disease. She
found her with a drunken woman in asquaiid
room, at the top of a‘ tenement house, the
one window of which opened on dingy brick
walls and an asphalt roof. wherea lean cat
prowled among empty tomato. cans. The
countrywoman- was not -used to visits of sym-
pathy. She was appalled by the dirt, the
surrounding misery, the chance of small pox,
the probable demand for money. “What do
you want with me 2” she asked. “Is it all
there still?” the child demanded, her eyes
kindled with fever. a

The bills, the solemn sunsets, the green
fields, even the cattle and simple sights and
sounds of the farm haunted her like it won-
derful vision. In the sixteen years during
which the poor wretch had lived, that one
week had been her single glimpse of the
beautiful world about her. In the rest, she
had known nothing, absolutely nothing, but
the dirty street on which stood her stand and
her bare garrct. Now that death was at
hand, she cried out for this lost chance,whicli
never should come to her, with a mad, bitter
longing for which, untnught animal that she
was, she had no words:

“Is it all there still? Tell me about it !"
she said. “The woods, the cows, the things
I saw you plant—anything, I haven’t much
time. I want to hear about them once before
I go.” The woman talked as she was hidden.
Presently the facts of the situation forced
themselves into her slow mind. “Why 1”
she said, “why shouldn‘t you come to it,
child?” She took her home that night and
nursed her tenderly, .as if she had once been
her own baby. If we would say that the
sick child recovered in the pure air and quiet
of the hills our story would have been
pleasanter to tell. But she did not recover.
She died there after a month of happiness.
The farmhouse, the woods putting out their
tender leaves, the fields just upturned by the
plough, all became like home to her. She
had a keen interest in .the planting. The
farmer, a rough Pennsylvania Dutchman,
who took time to carry her from place to
place, made seats for her by the stream,
under the oaks in the pasture. At last she
closed her eyes contentedly on it all, and her
tired body was laid to rest in the pure air and
warm friendly earth of the hills. It seems
to us that Wherever her soul went it was the
better for that taste of life in the‘good, beau~
tiful country.

There are appeals every day in all the
cities for help to send poor children to the
sanitariums, to farm houses, to excursions.
If every man or woman who is a good
Christian would give a trifle there is not a
wretched little child in New York or Phila—
delphia who would not have a glimpse of the
country before the Summer is over. Do you
think they do not care for it? Putting the
question of health aside, is it nothing to put
into their black, bare lives a wonderful pic—
turc which they will never forget. Take a
bunch of roses and go into an asylum, or a
squalid alleyway, and you will read in the
pitiful begging of the childish faces whether
they care for these things. If a rose counts
for. so much, what is the miracle of a whole
week of country life to them? And this bit
of enchantment in the lives of these forlorn
babies will cost but two or three dollars!
“Never neglect,” said George Hill, “to make
a child happy. You may do your best to
give happiness to a man or woman and fail
at last. But you never fail with a child. '
When God puts the chance in your way, do
not pass it by.”——Tribune.

 

One of those rough»clad, big—hearted
miners who come into Sante Fe occasionally I
to lay in a supply of grub, stepped into the
pos't-oflice of that town recently and seeing
in the window three letters held for postage,
picked one up, and, looking at the address,
said in a tone of great astonishment:
“Why,” this letter is for a lady in Denver 1”
“Yes,” said the clerk. “And you are
holding it here!" in 'a tone of greater as—
tonishment. “Why, of course,” answered
the clerk. “don‘t you see it hasn’t any
postage paid ?” In a tone of utter contempt
for the man who would not forward a letter
to a woman, paid or unpaid, the miner said :
‘ Give me some stamps.” It was done; be
carefully put stamps on all letters in the
window, putting two on that of the feminine
gender to make sure that it would go all
right, and stalked out of the office with the
concluding remark hurled at the head of the
astonished Pino Piuito: “Strikes me there’s
some — mean people in this town.”

 

 

IGeneral Garfield is said to have a particu-
lar fondness for the mathematical game of
chess. Among his possessions is a goodly
amount of muscle. At Pittsburg Landing
one night in ’62 there was a rush for rations
by some newly arrived troops. Colonel Mor-
ton, commanding the commissary steamers
there, observed a strong, fine—looking soldier
in an infantry overcoat present a requisition
and snatch up a barrel of flour, walking off
with it as earily as a common person ,would
carry away a ham. When the wagon was
loaded, the same man stcped up to Colonel
Morton and remarked: “I Supposo you re—
quire a receipt for these supplies 3’” “Yes,”
said the Cononel,as he handed over the usual
blam, “just take this provision return and
new: it. signed by your commanding officer.”
“Can't I sign it ?" was the reply. Oh, no!”
said the affable Cononel Morton, "it requires
the signature of a commissioned oflicer.”
Then came the remark that still remains fresh
in the Colonel’s memory: “I am a C0mlnis—,
sioned officer—I’m a Brigadier-General, and
my name is Garfield, of Ohio.”

 

Senator Chandler is said by the Cleveland
Leader to have turned during a speech at an
Ohio mass meeting last Autumn, and, point—
i at Garfield, to have said to his audience :
“ entlemen, there sits your next President.”

These days no one is safe from the charge
of plagiarism. Brown went to church last
Sunday—a thing unusual—and upon being
asked his opinion of the clergyman, said, '
“Oh, his sermon was good; but that prayer,
beginning with “Our Father,” I think he
stole entire. 1 know I have heard something
somewhere that it was strangely like—Bos-
ton Transcript.
