Death of Senator Colquitt.
Hon. Alfred E. Colquitt, United
States Senator from Georgia, who died
after a long paralytic ailment, had been
much in public life and was esteemed
as a’ manof many virtues and honorable
characteristics. He had barely passed
his majority when he served in the Mexi-
can war. Forty years ago he was a.
member ol'the lower house of Congress.
During the war of the rebellion he rose
to the distinction of a Confederate ma-
jor general. For six years he was Gov-
ernor ct” Georgia and at the time of his
death he was serving his second term in
the Senate. .In all the relations of life
the deceased Senator was a good citizen,
active in works of benevolence and
charity. assiduous in promoting the in-
te‘esis and development of his State,
and its a ieflslutor capable, conscien-
tious, and true to his convictions of
duty. His hands were unstained by the
defiliug'pitch of dirty politics, nor was
there the. slightest taint of corruption
found in his methods or in any of th-
csuses in which be actively interest“.
himself. A thoroughly and consistent-
ly good man, possessed of strong relig
ious beliefs and having at all times the
courage of his convictions, he was a con-
spicuous figure at theCapitol and in the
state he served so conscientiously.

Girl and Touch.
That dissipation shortens life and that '
the use of liquor and tobacco lessens the
years are statements that are advanced
by earnest men and women and support-
iry a strong array of facts. Yet every
now and then a career is called to pub-
lic attention which is a. flat contradict-
. ion of these allegations. Such, for ex-
ample, is the case of Hugh Freal, who
was arraigned in a New York police
court charged with intoxication. He
was, moreover, found guilty and fined.
Yet Hugh has lived in this world 101
years. His career has not been one of
total abstinence. It l6 not claimed by
Mar. Front that the lengthening out of
his span of life is due to his immoderate
use of spirituous liquors. He has, how'-
over, listed in spiteo’f his drinking hab-
its. Therefore it would not be safe for
any young man who is ambitions of at.
taming patriarchal age to betake him-
self to the alluring cup. In fact Mr.
Freal’s case, while an astonishing one, .
serves no useful purpose in pointing a
moral or adorning a tale. It may be
safely concluded that he has a strong
constitution and a tenacious vitality.
The Good Time Coming.
New York’s business men are en-
gaged in another bout with the Bell
'Telephonc Company, and are now in-
sisting that the state legislature cut tel-
ephone rates very considerably. Just
what the joint committee of the senate
and assembly will recommend may not
yet be safely prophesied, but the com-
mittee cannot ignore the extraordinary
fact that New Yorkers are compelled
to pay $240 a year for the same service
which is rendered in London for 825 a.
year. The argument of the protest.
ants might have been considerably"
strengthened—«as it perhaps was—by
authoritative statement as to the rela-
tive quality of the service. Singular
all it may seem to those who forever
ipsist on American superiority in every
bile of advanced endeavor, the tele-
phone in England and France is a long
way ahead of the telephone in daily
use in the United States. By-end-by
there will be competition in the busi-
ness, and then the public may expect
to be well served at reasonable rates,
in thei’t‘gocd time coming. --
Burned to Death.
Alphonso Abbott. aged fifty, and un-
married, who resided with his aged
father at Easton Center, was burned to
death while driving home from “Vest-
port Monday afternoon. In the ab-
sence of any positive knowledge as to
- how the accident occurred it is believed
that Abbott must have put a lighted
pipe in his pocket, setting his clothing
" on fire. Abbott accompanied Elliott
Andrews. a neighbor, to Westport in
the morning, and when the two started
to return they were drunk. People
living~ near Gray’s Mills, three miles
from the Villiage, saw Abbotts clothing
in a blaze and lifted him from the wag-
on and rolled him in the street in a eu-
deavor to put out the blaze. Abbott
died. Tuesday night at 10 o'clock. An-
drews’ coat, hands and face were burn-
ed in his efforts to save his friend’s life.

A Few Things You museums to
do at This Season.
In the spring we feel tired, languid
and debilitated. The change from cold
to warm weather causes a depression
of the vital forces resulting in on mac-
tive state of the stomach, liver, bowels
and kidneys. Headache is common,
and the blood undergoes changes which
greatly debilitate the system.
The complexion is ,apt to be sallow,
and dark circles gather under the eyes.
If something is not done to overcome
these conditions, they will last indefi-
nitely and may result- in-severe Blok-
ness. Read the experience of the well
known Mrs. A. A. Herrick, of 40 Ever-
ett Street, East Somerville, Mass.
“ Two years ago I contracted a very
severe cold that settled all over‘ my
bedy. My head and left side pained
me all the time, I had no appetite and
could not sleep at all nights. I was so
nervonsI thought I would be insane
and any work seemed like a mountain
ahead of me.
" I would become completely exhaust-
ed cu the slightest exertion. I was
obliged to give up and take to the bed.
I lay there several weeks but got no
better. I began to fear I should never
get well as nothing seemed to affect me.
I was finally advised to use Dr. Greene’s
Nervura blood and nerve remedy. and
did so.

“It seemed to quiet me just as soon
as I began using...-it.: -Be__fore a week
I could rest and sleepthrough the
night and could leelymy; strength com-

I could see thatI had. improved very
much. I continued ,tnking it and in
a few months no onerw'o'uld'know I had

It is a wonderfulme‘diicifirib and I can-
not say enough in praise-of it. I ad-
vise any person}, alficted’ with only
these complaints 'to use it, and
positive they will 'get well.”
If you want tobe perfectly strong
of
am
and healthy the best possible thing to
do is to take this great enter and
strengthener. ,You cangbc cured quick-
er' in the spring than at any other sea-
son. "You must't'ake a spring medi-
cine, everyone knows that, and Dr.
Greene’s Nervura blood and nerve
remedy is the best and most certain
because it always cures.

Dr. Senner, the United States Com-
missioner of Immigration, contributes
an article of mnchiinterest to the North
American Review,,,in which he express-
es the belief. that the number of immi-
grants landed at the'v'varions Atlantic
ports this year will lbeismaller than for
a long period offyears. The decrease
of late has been very-marked.
The falling off. last year was attribut-
able in great men’surepto our depressed
industrial conditions, but Dr. Senner
is disposed to credit the latest legisla-
tion of Congress'on' the subject with
contributing much to results that have
been reached and that are likely to
continue. There is a more rigorous
system of inspection than ever before,
the steamship companies are under
much better discipline and far more
disposed to obey the requirements of
the law than to riskat-he heavy penalties
of its violation, and'as a consequence
the tide of immigration that formerly
set this war in'such vast and indiscrim-
inate volume has been largely checked.
The law is doing its best work, how-
ever, not only in diminishing the num-
ber of new-comers, but in thoroughly
sifting the qualityof those who do
come. The latter are of a much better
class than in other days were dumped
so indiscriminately upon our shores.
They bring more money, they pay their
own way for the most. part, they are of
greater educational attainments, they
have more definite objects in view;
there are fewer paupers, anarchists,
contract laborers, or fugitives from jus-
tice among them. All of which is reas-
suring as to the future and points to
the notg'emote possibility of a system
that in the regulatibn of immigration
shall well nigh approach perfection.
Efiicient laws efficiently enforced are
all that is necessary to! reach this end,
and now that public sentiment is so
strong and united as to the proper poli-
cy of the government in this behalf,
there is no further danger of retrogres-
sion or neglect on- the part of Con»
grass. The workfthat was so long be-
ginning is at last being well done and
promises to be crowned with eminent
success. .
The laboring classes of America need
protection from free trade in immigra-
tion as much as in manufactured {pro-
ducts .- ‘ '
TALKING with mounds.‘ .—
A Frenchman Who Could Engage the
Animals in Conversation.
'In 1857 J ulcs Richard had occasion to
l visit a. sick friend in a. hospital, Where
he made the acquaintance of an old
official of the institution from the south
cf France, who was exceedingly fond
of animals, his love of them being
equaled only by his hatred of priests,
writes Prof. E. P. Evans in Popular
Science‘.l‘v:lonthly.~
be perfectly familiar with the lam
gungcs of cats and dogs, and to speak
the language of apes even better than
the apes themselves. .
Jules Richard received this stutcnicn t
with an incredulous smile, whereupon
the old mannvhosc pride was evidently
touched by such skepticism, invited
him to come the next morning to the
zoological garden.
‘ “I met him at the appointed time
and place,” says Mr. Richard, “and we
went together to the monkeys’ cage,
where he leaned on the outer railing
and began to utter a. succession of
gut-tural sounds. which alphabetical
signs are scarcely adequate to repre-
sent—‘Kirruu, kirrikiu, lzuruki. kir-
iltin’—rcpcatcd with slight variation
and differences of acccntation.
“in a. few minutes the Whole compa-
ny of monkeys, a dozen in number, as
semblcd and sat in rows before him
with hands crossed in'tlicir laps or
resting on their knees, laughing. gos-
ticulating and answering."
The conversation continued for a
full quarter of an hour, to the delight
of the monkeys, who took a. lively part
in it. As their intorlocutor W115 about
to go away they all became intensely
excited, climbing up the bulustradc
and uttering cries of humiliation;
when he finally departed and disap-
peared more and more from their view.
they ran up to the top of the cage. and
climbing to the frieze made motions as
if they were bidding him good-by. It
seems, added Mr. Richard, as though
they wished to say: “We are sorry to
part, and hope to meet again, and if
you can’t come drop us a. line.”
A NEW ENGLAND FARMER.
Us Tells How He Came to Be Possessed
of a. Snug Little Pile of Cash.
He was waiting for the Grand Trunk
train at Lewiston Junction—- a little
bowed man- With a. fringe of frosty
whiskers under his chin. He told his
life-story in five minutes, says the
Lewiston Journal. Some men would
need volumes, and even then could.
boast of but a little of the patient he-
roism and unwinking diligence pos—
sessed by the little old man. J ust be-
fore thc war opened he bought a farm
in Massachusetts. Up to that time he
had been a. carpenter and by frugality
had saved $2,500. He was just old
enough to escape the draft. The farm
was valued ‘ at 84,000, and therefore I
when he had paid in his hoard he still
owed $1,500. The farm was
stocked and he had no money. He ex"-
plalned his. situation to a business man
and the latter lent him $500 on a. per- .
sonul note. “I went into the Brighton
market with that money,” said the old
man. “and I spent it all.
some good stock. I paid as high; as
$83) tor a cow.’ ' ‘
stock I had no horses and no farming?“
tools. I bought all these on 't’i'ck.
When I got ready for business the cut-
look seemed sorter blue, and I didn’t. '
know how I was coming out, but I
went to work and kept at work. I had
help only in haying time. All the rest
of the work I did alone and was al-
ways up before light when the days ,
were short. I lived on that form for
thirty years. I gave it to my son a
little while ago, and we figured it at
$5,000, but it’s Worth more’n that.
Furthermore, though I ain’t saying it
to brag, I’ve got $13,000 invested in
_ mortgages, and all drawing seven per
cent. interest.”
MICE RUN MACHINERY.
Gentleman in Scotland Utilizes Their Tiny
Power.
A gentleman in Scotland has trained
a couple of mice, and invented 'ma-
chincry for enabling them to spin
yarn. The work is done on the tread-
mill principle. It is so constructed,
says London Tid-Bits, that the com-'
mon house mouse is enabled to make
atonement to society for past offenses
by twisting‘and reeling from 100 to 120
threads 3. day. To complete it the lit-
tle pedestrian has to run ten and one-
half miles. This journey it performs
every day with ease. An ordinary
mouse weighs only half an ounce. A
halfpenny worth of oatmeal at ls 3d
the peck serves one of these treadmill
culprits for the long period 'of five
weeks. In that time it makes 110
threads 3. day, being an average of
3,850“ threads of 55 inches, which, is
nearly nine lengths of the reel. A pen- ~
ny is paid to women for every cut in
the .ordinary way. At this rate a.
mouse earns 9d every five weeks,
which is 1 farthing' per 'day. or 75 6d
per annum. Take 6d off for board, and
Is for machinery, there will arise Gs
clear-profit from every mouse yearly.
He Found Out. -
A youth in the employment of
large manufacturing concern in Pitts-
burgh left one Fridny evening to stay-
over Sunday. 021 Monday he wanted
to stay a. little longer, and telegraphed
to the firm: “Do you need me? If
not, I shall stay.” No response was
received,w11ich so alarmed him that
he hurried back at noon. Finding
everything all right, he was reproach-
ing himself for his haste, when his un-
cle, one of the heads of the firm, sent
for him. He found the old gentleman
holding the telegram. “My boy,” he
said, sharply, “this telegram, I under-
stand, is from you. It reads: ‘Do you
need me? If not, I shall stay.’ Did
you send it?” “Yes, sir,” came the an-
swer, meckly. “You did! Then let
me tell you, sir,” thundered the uncle,
"that I have been here forty years,
and they don’t need me.” The tele-
gram was laid down, and the head of
the establishment picked up his pen.
The nephew knew that the interview
was over, and; just as he 'was closing
the door, he heard his uncle mutter.
scornfully: “Do they need me!”
Read the aim“.
He claimed also to-
