AGES."
No questions have been more earnestly
discussed, during the last twenty-five years,
than those concerning the Origin and Au-
liquity of man, The discussion is not yet
over. On the one hand we have the strong-
est assurances that man began his existence,
as man, in a state of utter ignorance and bar-
barism, having reached - that state by an
almost inconcievably slow developement
from the lowest form of life, and that he has
since been developing by. gradual
process, through immense periods of
time. to his present condition. On the other
hand, we have the equally strong assertion
that man began his existence, by the
creatorial act of God, in a perfect state, a few
thousand years ago.
We have discussed the first of these ques-
tions—the origin of man ought be considered
the second—the antiquity of man. How
long has our race been upon the earth?
Some, of our able scientists seem to think
that'this question has passed out of the field
'of discussion. Dr. William B. Corpsman,
of London, in an address before the Unitsria
an Conference at Saratoga, last Septem-
ber (1882), said :.—“The antiquity of man
had to fight its way, but no one now would
venture to question that great truth."
is a remarkable statement in view of the
fact that not theologians alone, but. men as
eminent in science as any of the advocates
of the doctrine do question it.
And here let me say, in behalf of the very
repectable number who venture yet to believe
in the Bible, and who are ruled
out of court because they are not scion-
tists,that is not necessary that a man should
be an expert scientist in order to judge of
the fairness of the , reasonings, and the
validity of the conclusions of scientific men.
I may be no architect,and vot'I maybe ‘
quite able to judge whether thehouse my
architect. has built is a safe one for me to live'
in. If he has left out corner stones or put in:
rotten timbers, he can hardly silence my:
objections by telling me I am no architect. '
I do not need to be an architect to know
that my house is tumbling about my head.
I do not need to he a scientist to know
whether the premises of ascientist sustain
his conclusions. It is only saying what
every candid scientist admits, th‘at a multi-‘
tude of conclusions that have been asserted
as confidently as Dr. Carpenter asserts his,
as to the great antiquity of man have been
proved false. Everybody is familiar with
the piece of pottery found some forty feet
under the mud of the Nile delta and which.
at the . time claimed even by Sir John
Lubbock and Sir Charles Lyell to prove that '-
man was there 13,000 years ago, untila brick
was found at a still lower depth in the same-
delts, bearing the stamp of Mohammed Alil
Equally familiar is the malchless man whose ‘
bones were found at the bottom of s ravine
' associated with the remains of s mastodon,
from which Lyell and others inferred that
this country had been inhabited 100,000
years ago, until it was suggested that the
bones might have caved down from on
Indian burying ground above. In thegjspt’no
line we find the “Red Indians" of New 0:-
leans buried 67,000 years ago, and near him
the wreck of an Ohio river fiat boat; and the
“highly developed" Calaveras skull found in
a shaft 150 feet under the volcanic deposits
of California, where it had been placed by
some mischcvious miners, as a hoax upon
one of their own number who was of a geol-
ogic and anti-scriptural turn of mind. He
carried the news to Prof. Whitney who
never saw the skull s'n situ‘but who secuiied
it and introduced the worldwto the oldest
man yet known, agman ofi'the Pleioqé‘ne
period. '1’
We have no desire to press these. facts un-
fairly. But when we remember that they are
specimens of conclusions without number
that a certain class of scientists have always
been eager to :draw, if they mid be made to
bear against the Bible we have the right to
suggest o modesty in the confident assertions
of those who have made such grand mistakes
in the past. . . j

in the Bible,“ that some able scholars and"
defenders of its inspiration are ready to grant
any amount of time that may bo~domanded
for its events. On'tbe other "hand it is
equally just to say that there do clearly seem
to be limits to the periods of Bibical history;
and the obvious meaning of the record isvto
be adhered to unless it can be shown to be
untonsble. Can this be shown in the present
case ? Can it be proved that man has in-
habited the earth for a larger period than the
Bible fairly claims?
It is admitted (by the Duke of Argyle. for
example, in “Primeval Man") that there is
no ground for serious difference of opinion
as to the time since the days of Abraham.
For this period about 4,000 years, “within
moderate limits," the Duke says, “all chron-
ologists have agreed." The question lies in
the period before Abraham. Now in the
fifth and eleventh chapters of Gonisis, we
have what purports to be a continuous gene-
ology and chronology from the creation of
man to the time of Abraham. And it is, to
say the least, a very striking fact that in just
this period of modern doubt, the Bible should
so carefully give dates. For the period after
this, lot it be impressed, the substantial and
reliability of the records, in the question bo—
fore as, is admitted. But if relisbloafter
this, why not before? Isthero any sufficient
reason why the obvious meaning of the
Scriptures should be accepted from the
twelfth chapter of Genisis onward, and re-
jected before? The fact that the Bible is
chronologically reliable for 1,200 pages of its
records makes a reasonably strong presump-

the time of man’s occupancy of the earth at
13,000 years; Bunsen at 22.000; Wallace is
certain it must have been 100,000, probably
1,000.000, while Mr. Fiske speaks with the
confidence of a man who was there, tells us
that “10,000 years before the time of Homer
* * * * wild men with brute-like crania
carried on a struggle for existence with
mammoths, tigers, and gigantic bears, long
since extinct ; and recent researches make it
probable that even this enormous period must
be multiplied six or eight fold before We can
arrive at the time when men appeared on the
earth as creatures zoologicnlly distinct from
apes." That is, man is a developed ape, and
it has taken probably six or eight million
years at least to develop;him i This will do
for a beginning. It is not encouraging for a
man who is looking up his puligiee. But
seriously, if we are called to burn our Bibles
and give up faith in tlnir authority, we are
entitled to something a little more definite.
There isga wide margin between 13,000 or
even 100,000 and 8,000,000. And where
conclusions so immeasureably different are
drawn from-thesame facts one may safely be
justified in questioning either the facts or the
, process by which such divergent conclusions
are reached. The popular fortn in which
the argument for the great antiquity of man
seems to have cast itself is the hypothesis of
the Three Ages, the Stone age, the Bronze
age, and the Iron age The hypothesis in-
volves two main points: First—that man’s
original state was one of absolute barbsrism,
from which he emerged by slow and gradual
development. Second—that the successive
steps of that development have been marked
by the moiety of material used therein; the
Stone age being marked'by the use of stone
implements, the bronze by bronze, the iron
by iron. The stone age is divided into two,
the old and the new stone, or the periods of
the rough stone and polished stone. This
hypothesis underlies many of the special ar-
guments for the antiquity of the race. Its
correctness is constantly assumed as beyond
all question, This is the more extraordinary
since it is as far as possible from decisive
proof. We can only indicate afew of the
main points of objection to it. First—the
doctrine of original barbarism is not sustain-
ed by the facts. of history, or by the most
reliable results of archmolgical investigations.
For the first clear traces of the race we look
of course to the east, to Egypt, to Assyrin,
to Babylonia, to India. What do We find
“Utter Barbarism P” So far from it
we find a degroe of civilization, of science,
and art, and literature, so far advanced lll‘at
it is claimed that it must have required an
immense period of time for these nations to
be developed to such a stage, But this is
begging the question. And the difficulty is
you cannot get behind this civilization. You
can find no trace of your original barbaric
man. “ere is no proof whatever of his (le-
:velopmeut from the savage to the civilized

truth is, the very first time you cross clearly
-.the track or human historypyou find civili-
zation, ndt' barbarism. The“ use of stone
among those nations was not separate from
their civilization. It does not follow that
Moses .. was an imbruited savage, or that he
lived a million years ago, because his wife
circumcised their Midianitish child with a
sharp stone. In fact the use of stone proves
nothing whatever as to age; it has been used
in all ages; it is used to-day in some of its
modest forms. Further, it is admitted that
the articles of affine, bronze and iron, are
often found intermixed. This is explained
however, by saying that the ages over-lapped
each other. The decisive answer to this
and to the whole theory, is that the articles
are not only intermixed, theysre inserted.
Where, according to this hypothesis you
ought to find stone, you find metal, and when
stone has no right to be found, you find
In the ruins
of old Chaldea are found Weapons and orna-
namsnts of stone and bronze and iron
evidently contemporaneous, and all used by
a people not barbarous. So in the splendid
ruins of Ninevsh we find the use of stone or
flint. Similar facts meet as among the ruins
of Mexico and Central America. '
Dr. Schliemann’s investigations on the site
of “old Troy Lane gives us important results
bearing upon this point. The facts are
familiar. He found evidences of several
distinct settlements that had followed one
another upon the same site. In the lowest
stratum, and therefore the oldest,were found
articles of pottery, stone, ivory, copper, 1nd
perhaps silver. Above this were ruins con-
taining articles of stone, terracotta, bronze,
silver and gold ; many of these of great rich-
ngsspnd beauty, showing up advanced stage
of cijiliistiou thud art. Here too men found
inscéiptions indicating a kfiowledge' 'of writ-
ing ind literiture. Abovh this in a third
deposit were found stone implements “by
thousnrds," while metal seemed so entirely
wanting that Dr. Schliemann. doubted
whether it was known at all to
the people of that period. . Specimens
were however discovered. Still
above this were ruins containing copper or
bronze, rough pottery and stone. These
facts are hard to reconcile with the doctrine
of successiyc advancing ages. .Ttrey anni—

DIARSHALL JEWELL.
At a meeting of the Association of Amer-
can Economists, held in Washington, D. 0.,
Friday evening, February 10, 1883, the com-
mittee appointed to draw resolutions on the
death of Hon. Marshall Jewell, reported the
following :
“That the Association of American Econv
om‘ists have met with a most severe loss in
the death of the Hon. Marshall Jewull,’rheir
vice—president, for the State of Connecticut.
He was known throughout the country'as a
statesman and n philanthropist, but it is on
account of his encouragement of American
industry, and his desire to elevate and reward
the American laborer, that the members of
this association desire to record their appre-
ciation of his worth and lircir regret at his
demise."
On this resolution, Senator Orville II. Plait
of- Connecti cut, spoke as follows:
[s'ranoonarrrro Bahama]
Mu. I’ultsmsk'r : 'l‘lrc protracted sessions
of the Senate have made it impossible for me
to prepare a tribute of respect to the memory
of Marshall Jewell, but having known hrm
intimately, and loved him sincerely, I could
not refuse your invitation to speak of hrs life
and character this evening. Of course my
remarks must be informal.
Marshall Jewell was a rare man. Like so
many 0! or New England men who have
strugglcr to the front, he was a poor boy.
Born in a rural New I'lumshire town, then
only avillage hamlet, with no advantages
other‘than those common to every humble
boy, the surroundings of his youth must have
had {great influence in the formation of his
character. His first lessons in patrrotrsm,
which is love of country, were learned as he
grew to love his early home. Its sky; its
hills and valleys, brooks, trees, rivers, and
sky; its simple ways, pure society, and stern
virtues, all became a part of his life and
character; and much as the world enlarged
to him in after years, he never forgot Ills
first love for his quiet, simple, birth place,
and never tired of speaking of it, und.of the
influence of that early country life on his
future career. Just what the stimulating
force of such early scenes and influences
may be, we cannot tell; but its influence
and result iis seen in the forceful lives of
hundreds of remarkable men who have gone
forth from rural homes to become powerful
and great, in the busiest centers of business
activity. .
His parents were of New Hampshire birth.
His ancestry in this country is traceable back
to Thomas Jewell, who lived in Boston in
1039, and the stock was strong and good.
His fatherewas a tanner. Some of you can,
doubtless, recall the appearance of lllt.‘ ran-
yard and lanoery in the town of your birth;
if so, you can see the business in which his
father was engaged, and to which the son
was apparently destined. His education was
such as a New England village afforded to
thosefiathcrs whogwcre unable to send them
to college. An education which, though
limited, owns thorough in the fundamental
branches, and stimulating to a receptive
mind. Such an education created a thirst
for knowledge :und ta longing for active
life. The village surroundings became too
narrow for the aspiring youth. He could
not be confined within them. Tile world was
before him, and into its great and restless
activities he must go; so, at the age of eigh-
teen, he went to Woburn, Muss, apprenticed
to learn a tauner‘a trade, where he remained
for four or five years, thoroughly mastering
it in its every detail. The knowledge of the
business thus acquired was the foundation of
his future success At this time youthful
ambition turned his thoughts to the West as
the section where fortune and positron
awaited enterprise. Telegraph was in its
infancy, and the opportunity to become a
clerk in a telegradh office at Rochester was
not to be neglected by one so full of energy
and aspiration. At the age of twenty-two we
find him in that city quickly mastering the
art.
The noxt three years were full of effort
and success. In charge of telegraph cfiices
in Akrdn, Ohio, and Southern cities; con-
structing telegraph lines between Louisville
and New Orleans; superintendentof the line
between New York and Boston;—lre gave
promise of growth and success in business
life, afterwards so well fulfilled. All this
before he was twenty-five years of age. In
1850 it Hartford, he formed a partnership
with lll’f father in the business of tanning
and making leather belting, established there
in a modest way, a few years previously by
his father. No city in the whole country
was better adapted to the development and
growth of business ability. A city charac-
terized in its commercial life by all the dash
and energy of the West, modified in some
degree by stern New England ideas, not yet
dispelled. In Hartford the ‘stsndard .of
success was a business one; a man’s ability
was measured by the eminence he should
attain commercially. There he found full
play for the exercise of the industry, sagacr-
rty, force, and integrity, for which hesoou
became distinguished among his associates.
The adoption of new and improved process,a
thorough system in business, marvelous
activity and effort, soon enlarged and devel-
oped the trade of the firm from its humble
beginnings, till in ten years its transactions
not only extendedthroughout the United
.States, but to most of the conmmercial cen-
ters of Europe. . .
The development of .lris business was no
more marked than the development of the
man. The restless, active youth had become
one of the best business men of the State.
The country in had become a courteous,
refined, and cultured gentleman. Few men
have been better types of the successful
New England business-man than Marshall
Jewell. From 1855 to 1867 he traveled
largely in the United States, in Europe, In
Egypt, and the Holy Land. An acute per-
ception, combined with genial manners, ena-
bled him thoroughly lo master industrial,
scanomic and political problems; and, With—
out neglecting business, he acquired ruthese
years a fund of information which admirably
fitted him to discharge the duties of public
life, to which he was afterwards called.
Hartford knew but little of him at first.
He was so devoted to business when there;
so much away; so absorbed with his work;
that the stranger who had come among them
obtained real recognition of his powers only
whenthe results of his work were not to be
overlooked. ' .
In such a city, however, enterprise, push,
ability and integrity always win. Once hrs
rare business qualities came to be known, he
was soon called upon to engage in other eu-
terprises, and the circle of his business opera-
tions became widely enlarged. I need not
enumerate. It is enough to say that in
whatever he became intercstcd, he became
prominent; whatever his hand found to do,
he did with his might. And, as a rule, what-
ever venture he became connected with, at
once became prosperous. He was always a
guiding force and power among his busrucss
associates. In corporate enterprises he gave
new significance .to the words “President”
and “Director." No detail was so lilJIIIIpOI‘»
taut as to be overlooked, no project was too
difficult to be grappled. He had a rare intu-
ition in this respect. He mastered with ap-
parent ease, complications ‘which baflled
others. It is always difficult to discover
the real secret of success, but it is not diffi-
cult to point our in the character of‘lllar-
shall Jewell the qualities which made him
deserve success, and which .made others re—
joice in his good fortune. Untiring and
earnest in endeavor, he was straightforward,
manly and honest in transaction; hopeful
and cheerful by nature, no obstacle discour-
aged him; add to this, his kind heart, his
frank cordiality, and you have the qualities
which compel success. ‘
The ambition of his life was to excel in
business." I well remember a conversation
had with him less than a year ago, in which
on my reminding him that his public life
had been in many respects a fortunate one,
he said: "The ambition of my life has been
to bebome a good merchant,” using the Word
in its largest sense; and he added: “If I
have achieved that, I am content.” His
energy was simply marvelous, and yet hrs
work was done with such apparent case, that
his friends did not realize that so much of
labor, crowded into a few short years, would
inevitably break- down his naturally vigorous
constitution. During the years which includ-
ed the first development of his business, his
political contests, his administration of pub-
lic affairs as Governor, Minister to St. Peters-
burg, and Postmaster-Generalpthe labor'he
performed now seems incredible. During
all these years, he never forgot or neglected
his business affairs. He was their life and
soul. Added to all his industry, enterprise,
and force, lhere was a strict sterling integ-
I never knew a man of whom it could
rity.
be more truthfully said, that he never took
an unfair advantage in trade. The same
liberality which marked his social and_ pri-
vate life extended through all his business
transactions. He was, in the truest sense,
an - honest business man :-—-uot because
“honesty was the best policy,” but because
honesty was ingrained in his constitution and
lifo; never have I heard a man say that either
in public or private life, Marshall Jewell ever
did a mean thing. What higher praise can
be bestowed 1
Of all his business enterprises he was prorliElII-
e
wished to be both a manufacturer and a bcn-
est of his factory. It was a model one.
_csme in contact, either in social, business, or
“buy 1,000 more shares, and I did and it went
efactor, and he succeeded. It was there he
made much of his fortune, but wealth never
made him proud. It did not make him for-
get those who by their labor had helped him
on. He was as plain, as simple, as unosten-~
atious when he became the head of his firm,
as when he was a tunner's apprentice. Though
every thing was conducted upon the strictest
system, yet his employees were always treat-
ed with liberality, with kindness. with cor-
diality. It was touching to see the love and
respect his workmen bore him. They ad-
drrsscd him as “Marshall" when he went
through the factory, and their demeanor
plainly showed that they regarded him more
as a brother and friend than a mere employer
and master. Tire silent deeds of beneflccnce
and generosity to his working men. will never
be recorded, but are cherished in their mem-
orics. No wonder they loved him. He be-
lieved in the dignity of labor and the dignity
of the laborer. The laborer in his estimation
was as truly a sovereign as a millionaire. He
had well defined ideas of the necessity of
industrial development, as the condition of
national prosperity, and regarded the laborer
as essential to that prosperity as the capital-
ist. and he acted out his ideas.
He had great faith in the people—the com-
mon people. He felt that there was a mar-
velous future for the United States, depend-
ent upon the development of the mechanic
arts in connection with its agricultural
resources; that future greatness depended
not on our armies or navies, but on work and
our workingmen. He was thoroughly demo-
craticju his views, and power and influence
never made him otherwise. His charities,
his sympathies, his hospitalities were as free
to the hrrmble and lowly, as to the more
favored. When death claims such a man,
the loss is not to be measured. His absence
will be felt not only by his family and friends,
not only in social and public life, but largely
in the business and industrial circles of the
nation.
At this time, and in this placc,Imight
stop ; but I should hardly do justice to his
memory if I failed to allude briefly to his
public life.
In 1868 he was tendered the nomination of
Governor of Connecticut. It came to him
unsought. I knew him well, and Ido not
believe he ever coveted office. He felt that
if office came to him it was a trust to be
managed with the same fidelity that he man;
aged his private business. Four times that
nomination was renewed. He was three
times elected—twice by less than one hundred
majority, and once defeated. They were
stirring contests those—contests in which
every citizen of the State took a porsonal and
active part; contests in which there were
collisions, and hard blows given and taken ;
but through all those conflicts Marshall
Jewell was never rufiled or angered, mani-
fested the same calm, sunny temper; and I
do not believe there remained in his heart,
as the result of these fierce encounters, one
single feeling of animosity or resentment.
Once, when a most unfair attack was made
on him through the press, he said to friends,
who were very angry on account of it :—
“Well, it is mean, but neVer mind, Ican’t
hate any one if I try.” As governor, he was
beloved and respected by all—by his oppo-
nents, as well as his political adherents. He
was one of the few chief magistrates of the
State to whom the title of “ear-governor" was
never applied. As to this day, we say
“Governor Buckingham” so we say “Govern-
or Jewell.” Immediately on his retirement
from thatcfllce, he was without solicitation
and almost without his knowledge, nomin-
ated as minister to St. Pctersburg, which
office he accepted ; and he who commencod
life as a poor untutorsd country-boy,
was there recognized as the cultivated gentle-
man and accomplished diplomat.
He was recalled, after a year's servico, to
be placed at the head of the Post-Office De-
partment. 1n assuming that office, he mado
the declaration, then quite new to Ameri-
can pnlitics, that he “proposed to conduct
the affairs of the Department on true busi-
ness pmciples," When he said that, he
mount, that true principle should underlie
all business. How well be redeemed that
promise, you here in Washington need not
be told.
In 1876, he retired into private life and
devoted himself snow, and as it seemed to
me, with an increased love and energy, to
the more congenial pursuit of business
affairs. ,
Here I might close the record; but he was
so true a friend, and I respected and loved
him so much, that I must say one word in
regard to his private life and character. ls
was a - pure man; he was a noble-hearted,
and whole-souled‘ man; sman who had that
quality in these days so rare: faith; faith in
himself, faith in his friends, and in all he
undertook. He put his soul into things, and
it flowed out in his genial, cheery manner
towards everyone. It is unusual for a man
who has become wealthy and influential, and
who is ever pressed with the cares and per-
plexitics of public and private life, to retain
the even temper and frank good-nature of
youth. Such men are apt to become reticent
and distant, if not haughty and cold; but no
man with“ whom Marshall Jewell ever
public ,life, over for a moment doubted that
his genial temper, his sunny, cordial sym-
pathy were the natural outflow of a happy,
generous nature. He was at peace with
himself and with the world—and so, whon
he came to the end and his physician told
him he had but a few hours to live, his
whole character seemed to blossom in his
reply, as he quietly sank back on his pillow,
“all right doctor." It was the dispairing
cry of one of our greatest poots as he looked
back on life——
"I have not loved the world, nor the world me.”
-but 'Marshall Jewell could say and
truly say, “I have loved the world and the
world me,” and yet he could leave it with
Fashion Notes. ‘
Brocad'ed velveteen appears among Spring
novelties.
Checks and plaids will be the feature in
Spring silks. ~
Fur capes and collars are fastened with
long ribbon strings tied in a full, flowing bow.
Plush linings .find greater favor than fur
linings Ih‘li. fatigue the wearer by their great
weight. ‘“ '
Long, egg-shaped buttons with circles of
black passemcntcric cord are the trimmings
for cloth rcdingotes.
Woven trimmings of white down are pre-
ferred to far or chenille for trimming opera
cloaks.
~Buttcreups and blackberriesare the latest
Parisian combination for boquéts. '
Bodiccs of velvet, whether plain or brocad»
ed, are elegant and fashionable for afternoon,
dinner and reception toilets. '
Extremely pretty embroidored silks, muse
line, cranes and gauzcs are employed this
season for evening and ball dreams. -
New black Spanish laces. with hand-run,
outlines of the figures, are to be further or na-
mented by polka dots of velvet.
Sprays of flowers, beautifully imitated in
precious stones,are taking, as browhcs_ the
place of the hideous insects so long in favor.
Gold lace in Flemish gurpurc designs, with
colored silks onen in the flowers and leaves,
are used on dark velvet bonnet; and brighten
them very tifectively. ’
.All high dresses for indoor wéar are nour’
finished by a straight band at the neck, in-
side which a standing ruffle of lace is placed,,
which terminates in a jabot in. front.
The novelty in Spring styles consists in all
the trimming being on the skirt. The over-
skirt is very light, and only hemmed on the
lower border. _
Sprays of chury blossoms, blackberry
flowers with their fruit, and strawberries of
var'ed sizes, with pears, plums, and manda
rin oranges, are fashionable designs for bro-
caded ottoman silks. »
Corn- flower blue is one of thestylish shades
for the wool dresses. imported from Paris.
and is seen in dark rough cash pelisses that
are worn over brocaded OllOfIlflfl silk skirts
with blue grounds strewn with red carna-
tions.
The pretty standing collars which make a
rim of linen above the band at the throat of
the dress are Well warn as ever, and are ac—
companied by narrow cuffs for the wrist,
which are found convenient, even though
they are covered with long gloves.
Tire polonaise has increased in popularity,
and is made of the richest fabrics, with but
little drapery. Some of the new designs
have vests shaped on tbcmglind apron drapery
with bouifant back ; these garments must be
close fitting to be stylish.

The Care of Horses.-
A raw rinses mars \vuron WILL as rousn
ussrun.
Give horses salt frequently.
Returning from an afternoon drive, let
your horse cool off before entering the
stable.
Road horses should have. their front feet
stuffed with fiaXseed meal twice a week.
When light shoes are needed, particularly
hind ones, have them made of cast steel.
The hand-piece of driving reins frequently
become smooth from use, causing the hands
'to shift. In such cases rub the lines with Andhasnot
powdered rosin.
If you wish to drive your horse with an
open bridle have him tried with one before
putting him to your top-wagon, otherwise
he might get away from you. '
When horses overreach lengthen the hind
shoes {when they hit the front 6f the hind
feet have the toe of the front shoes made
narrow and concavcd on the inside.
Some horses when trotting, in putting
their hind feet to the ground, strike princi-
pally on the toe. Such horses should have
the heels lowered, and should wear shoes
without heels. -, -
Skunk cabbage is said to be good for
heavos in teaspoonful doses, night and morn-
ing. Moisten the hay and grain. Be care-
ful with the diet. Never works. heavy horse
on a full stomach.
Steel bits should be kept in a warm place
until they are placed in the horse’s mouth.
Any person can realize the sensation of plac-
iuga cold bit in the horse’s month by first
touching it with his own tongue.
An excellent remedy for mange is : Oil of
turpentine, 1 pint; add cautiously 2 ounces
of oil of vitrol, stirring the mixture constant-
ly; then add 8 ounces linseed oil; to be rub-
bed iu with _a brush twiceEa day.
If your double team did not work to suit
you to-day, one crowding to the pole, while
quiet, peaceful, resignation.
When a man is dead, envious criticism '
coases, all‘antagonisms are forgotten, and we :
learn to- appreciate him as and for what 3
he truly was ; so appreciating, we feel and '
know that we have lost s loving, noble, soul,
a rare and able man.

Finding Out; the Ways of Wall
, Street.
The broker found that his would-be credi-
tor had a hsdsome bank account, and told
him that he thought if he bought some Un-
ion Pacific at 104 or 105 he would be all right.
The Englishman tells the result as follows :
“Well, don’t you know, I took my friend’s
advice, you know, and I asked him to buy
me 1,000 shares of the blarsted railway and
he did, you know, at 105 and it Went down
five-degrees, you know, so he advised me to
down five more points. Then I sold out the
whole lot, you know, and went what my bro-
ker called ‘short’ and, by Jove, you know,
he was right then, for it went up five points,
and the more it went rp the ‘shorter’ I was,
till'I got out of the blarsted security. Then
I took shares in several other railways on my
broker’s advice and I lost money in all of
them. I Wonder,” he added refiectivcly, “if
it is the custom 6f brokers to say ‘buy’ when
they mean ‘sell,’>aud vice versa? If it is so
it should have been explained to me before I
invested my money. Another thing that
strikes me in this city is the appropriate
names conferred. For instance a member of
the stock exchange is called a ‘brokor’ and
some of the stock transactions are called
a ‘going short.‘ I wonder who invanted
these terms? By Jove, you know, he was
dcuced clever, I'd have done it myself, you
know, if he hadn’t; but what bothers me
now is what my mother and my noble father
will say when they receive my letters re-
questing more funds. I trust they will ac-
cept my excuse that hunting bulls (buffalo
.bulls, he wrote) and bears is a much 'more
expensive amusement than I anticipated, you
know." It is said that the Englishman has
lost about $40,900. ()ne unsympathetic bro-
ker said when he heard of it: “Well, I'm
glad of it; it will ‘stand off' the money Tug
{Vilson and Oscar Wilde took out of us." .
The detectives when spoken of about it
answer : “——— lamb.”

Permits were granted in the City of New
York last year for the erection of new build-
ings, which, it is estimated, will cost when
completed nearly $45,000,000.
“Now, ladies and. gentleman,” said the
man with dissolving views, “I‘ll c‘khibit to
you, as 'natral as life, Dan'l in the den of Ii—
ons. You can distinguish Dan'l from the
lions by his having a blue umberil under his
arm. But the beauty of the picter lays on
the facts that Dan‘l don't seem to care a d—n
for the lions, and the lions, they don't care a
the other would pull his head to one side,
see that the reins are all right, and in hooking
them to your wagon to-morrow put the of!

Tar is one of the most useful articles to be
kept about a stable. Internally use a tea-
spoonful night and morning for chronic
coughs; externally it is particularly useful in
thrush and alldiscases or wounds of the foot.
Mixed with oil it is one of the best remedies
for hard or brittle feet.
When heels and toes are required on a
horses shoes, instead of having the shoe
turned down for heels have the heels and
toes of cast steel and welded on. The heels
should be put on half an inch from end of
shoe and placed lengthwise.
'For a horse that “pulls” use ,the over-
check with strap attached over the nose and
under the lower jaw. For an extra hard-
mouthed horse use a four ring bit. Have a
side loop on the front of the over-check, so
that it can be moved up and down, as may be
"required; then have the check-pieces and
over-check attached to the loose things and
driving lines alone to the large rings.
Influenza is one of the most prevalent
diseases at this time of the year. The first
stage of the disease is generally mild and
will readily yield to careful nutritioue diet,
such as warm mashs, oatmeal gruel, suita-
ble clothing and proper ventilation. If the
'respiration is troubled ‘und the extremities
cold, give a sedative medicine, rub the legs,
with dry mustard, bandage with flannel, and
send for an expert.

How Forrest Begained His
Property.
A singular fact lately came to light in
connection with the late Edwin Forrest,
which possesses more than ordinary interest.
Pending the divorce proceedings between
Mr. and Mrs. Forrest, the great actor deeded
all his estate to his three sisters giving each
an equal share. Subsequently one of them
died without issue,and>her share of the estate
reverted to her two sisters and Edwin. The
second sister died shortly afterwards with-
out issue, and her share of the estate, with
what had been left herby the first sister,
dead, reverted to Edwin and the remaining
sister. _Not long after this the third sister
died, and, as Edwin was the only heir, he, by
her death, again became possessed of the
property he had deeded away. The fact
was discovered when’the administrators sold
the Broad and Master Streets property. The
purchasers in hunting over the records in the
register'a office, discovered that Forrest had.
come into possession of his property the sec-
ond time by inheritance, and through the
auditor-general’s ofllce,at Harrisburg, learned
that by calculation, after . the department,
had been placed in possession of the facts,
the estate was indebted about $4,300 collat-
eral inbcrllcuuu tax which was paid.

M. F. Flowers, of Gnllntin, Missouri, “B EN SON’S
UAPGINE POROUS PLASTERS are one of the
ncatest combinations ever produced. They have
two kinds of advantages over all others, which
we may call the minor and major. First, they
are clean amt pleasant to use, never soiling the
hands nor the linen ofitho wearer. Second, they
act quickly and powerfully. I have tried the Cap-
cinc Plaster on myself for pneumonia, and on
my patients for various diseases. such as Neural-
gia, Muscular Rheumatism. Lumbngo. Kidney
trouble, ctc., and in all cases relief has followed
In -I‘ rom three to forty-erght hours.”
Dr. Flowers merely voices the written or oral
opinion in his profession, BENSON’S CAPDINE
POROUS I’LASTEBS are the perfect external
up iication. The genuine have the word CAP-

When the soft night draws her jeweled mn-

Back from the earth, and the sky, and sea,
And the tender. roseate glow of morning
Creeps thro’ the curtains and falls on me,
I whisper low. to the night that is poss'd:
“Alpha, Omega—the First and the Last 2"
So whzn the rose-tints fade from the heavens,
And the old routine of the day’s, begun;
When never a place is left for sweet fancies,
In the ceaseless round that our feet must
run, \ .
I know, for has not His word been psao‘d?
“Alpha, Omega—the First and the Last.” '
But When the noon with its heat and fervor
Loans overhead in a feverish way;
And the weary feet. and hands, and body,
. Go fainting on in the heat of the day,
Only one comforting sunbeam is cast——
“Alpha; Omega—the First and the Last." ’
“Ah, yes,”I murmur, when falls the evening,
With its meatless worlds that shine on
high,
Mirrored below in numbcrless daisies
Whose scents float in with the hay near

“I know, tho’ few are the sunbeams cast,
“He is ‘Alphs, Omega—First and Last' I”
And when the nignt of death falls o'er us,
When the beautiful stars of the morning
fade;
Our feet are done with the weary toiling
Thrd’ the heat of noon, and sunshine and
shade;
“Bless’d hams name,” so whispers the Past—
“He is ‘Alpha, Omega—First and Last’ I”
The sweet stars fado from the sky above us-
His message, written in words of gold;
Our souls go out on their rays of glory,
And the troubled talo of our life is told,
But hush! the Great Sun rises fast I

The Children.
“l’m tired of this ceaseless worry"-—thus the
weary mother said ; '
“1 rise up betimee in the morning, and I'm
always the last to bed;
Yet my labors are never ended, and the chil-
dren’s frolic and strife
Seem sometimes to drive me crazy, and I’m
tired of this wretched life."
I grieved for the weary mother, for her face
was worn and wan;
And a rosy bride I’d seen her but scarce five
summers gone;
But, when I looked at the children—so hap-
py, so healthful and gay-—
I spoke not a word of pity, but turned with
a sob away.
For I minded how once my dwelling, now
orderly, still and nest,
lie-echoed my children ’s voices, and the pot-
tering of their foot.
As they scompered through hall and parlor,
and in and out at the doors,
While dailies usurped my sofas, and picture-
books strewed my floors.
And I mindod the day they sickened, and
their voices grew sad and weak,
As the fatal fever heightened, and wasted the
burning cheek, ‘
Till over the pale, pinched features, so
changed from their wiusome grace,
Crept the look—0h, so hard to witness! of
was on a baby’s facel
Oh God! thou dost all things wisely, and I
question not thy decree l
Perchance, I had else forgotten that my tress-
ures were lent to me,
But, ah! the benumbing anguish to list for ,'
the failing breath,
As the dear form chills and stiffens in the
cold, cold clutch of deathl
To-day, throogh my lonely dwelling, so quiet,
precise and neat,
Where the echoes are sadly silent, I wander
with restless feet; 1
I find not the old confusion, which once did
sorely annoy,
But I moan ’midst the drear precision for the
sight of a broken toy'l
0h, courage! ye weary mothers whose labors
seem never o’er; ,
Ah! vapid and vain your being should your
little ones need no morel
My children are gone forever, but all that a
mortal might strive
Were bliss—but bliss—could I clasp them
safe, in my arms, alive!

The Bad Boy’s Tale.
HIS FATHER'S LIVBLY EXPERIMENT WITH A rm
ESCAPE.
“You see,” said the bad boy, “since there
has boon so many fires pa has got oflul scored
and he has bought three fire oscspes, made
out of rope with knots in them, and he has
been telling us every day how he could
rescue tho whole family In case of fire. He
told us to be cool, whatever happened, and
to rely on him. If the house got on fire we
were all to rush to pa, and he would save us.
Well, last night ma had to go to one of the
neighbors, where they was going to have
twins. Pa says there ought to be a law that
babies should arrive on the regular day trains
and not wait for the midnight express.
Well, pa he got asleep. and he slept till about
eight o’clock in the morning and the blinds
were. closed, and it was dark in his room, and
I had waited for my breakfast till I was
hungry as a wolf, and the girl told me to
wake pa up, so I went up stairs, and I don't
know what made me think of it, but I had
some of this powder they make red fire with
in the theatre, thatlme and my chum had the
Fourth of July, and I put it In a wash-dish
in the bath room, and I touched it of! and
hollered fire.
I was going to wake pa up and then tell
him It was all right, and laugh at him. _ I
guess there was too much fire, or I yelled too
loud, cause pa jumped out of bed and grab-
bed a rope and rushed through the hall
toward the back window that goes out on a
shed. I tried to say something, but pa ran
over me and :lold me to save myself, and I
got to the back window to tell him there was
no fire just as he let himself out of the win-
dow. He had one end of the rope lied to
the leg of thc washstsnd, and he was
climbing down the backside of the shed by
the kitchen, and he was the horriblest look-
ing object you ever saw, with his legs flying
and trying to stick his nails into the rope
and the side of the house. I don't think a
man looks well in society with the clothespa
had on. I didn’t blame the hired girls for
being scared when they saw pa and his legs
come down outside the window, and when
they yelled I went down to the kitchen, and
they said a crazy man with a pillow-case
around his neck was trying to kick the
window in, and then ran into the parlor, and
I opened the door and let pa into the kitchen
He asked me if anybody else was saved, and
then I told him there was no fire, and he
must have been dreaming. Well, pa was as-
tonished. Pa says he has demonstrated that
if a man is cool and collected in a case of fire,
and goes deliberately at work to save him-
self, he wrll come out all right.”——Ml‘l~wauku
