It would have been useless for me to have said what I did, had I not hoped and in- tended that he should have known it." -Monday morning, as usual, Mr Beech- er went to the post office, and to do so must pass the large hotel, around which there was always many idle peo- ple loitering, and where, if this man intended mischief, he would probably be. Knowing Mr Beecher's habit of going to the office in the morning, I was very much troubled, but said noth- ing until he left the house, and then ng men who were to go with him; but I doubt if he thought t had been expressed He certainly did not assed when he return - begged two yo boarding with they were afraid of the fears th after the sermo allude to what ed; but one of our people came in soon after and told me.

Mr Beecher, were you alluding to me in your -remarks yesterday morn- ing • "I was." "Take it back, or I'll shoot you 1" Mr Beecher looked him sternly in the 'ace for a moment, and said: "Shoot away!" and walked on. The mail followed ahina some rods with the pistol aimed at him, and then, as if ashamed to face the people on the' hotel steps, turned down another street and walked away. Mr Beecher often met and passed him after that, but no other word ever passed between them. • CONSUMPTION CURED. An old physician, retired from practice, having had placed in his hands by an East India missionary the formula of a simple vegetable remedy for the speedy ad per- manent cure of Consumption, Bronchitis, Catarrh, Asthma and all throat and Lung Affections, also a positive and radical cur for Nervous Debility and all Nervous Com- plaints after having tested its wonderful curative powers in thousands of oases, has felt it his duty to make it known to his suf- fering fellows. Actuated by this motive and a desire to relieve human suffering, I will send free of charge, to all who desire it, this recipe. in German French or English, with full directionsjor preparing and using.

A despatch from Washington says: There are indications that the adminis- tration has reached the conclusion that no invitation shall be sent to the Do- minion Commissioners at present to come to Washington to consider the subject of trade relations between Ca- nada and the United States. It is known that the President and Secre- tary Blaine both feel that the Tory Cabinet has no propositions to offer which are likely to be accepted here, and the time spent in the preparing of the negotiations might be wasted. Secretary Blaine has long been a warm champion of closer commercial union between Canada and the United States, but he is not just now looking for any successful plans of reciprocity over the northern border. He has re- cently expressed his belief to friends ithat the waiting policy is the sure and safe one, and that the United States has much to gain by waiting. Secre- tary Blaine is of the opinion that the disposition among the Canadian people to form a closer commercial union with the people of the :United States will grow more rapidly if public feeling shall be allowed to solve the problem for itself, than if an opportunity shall now be given to one party to charge e other with disloyalty because of t e friendship or encouragement of its interests in the United States. Meanwhile the indications still are that if any closer trade relations with Canada are desired it will he necessary for the Conservative Cabinet to make very clear to the administration exactly what is wa:nted. The original proposi- tion for a conference proceeded from the Dominion Government, and the - attitude of the United States from the outset has been that their functions would be to listen and not to propose.

Bear this in mind : the road to heav- en never runs down hill. Those who have a will to learn find the world full of teachers. There is no mansion in heaven for the man that is mean to his wife. It always makes a trouble smaller to tell it to a friend you believe in. Every time you look at a sin it seems to becorne a little better looking. The only reason why children hate sermons is because they do not under- stand them. When King James the first wrote his "counterblast to tobacco" the royal pedant knew nothing of ‘MyrtleNavy." If he had instead of wasting his brains over hl. cur - ions ieroduotion, he would have filled his royal pipe with it, and would have taken a royal smoke, he would then have prepared to &dna that With regard to the injurious effects of tobacco. it all depended an at iobadoo you innoked. •nat tmetif ieThe ileOf WIFKRIgraTs Mfrp OBEAWRE, 4•94444,44 Whe latita44 what Is eVil always goes beyond the exantple that pet 941 the Centrary, he whol4tateS What Is good; always falls short.

A SINGULAR COURTSHIP. In the older and tlitaller New England towns, where everybody's affairs are known to everybody else, a courtship, even to -day, is a matter of hardly less than universal interest. As a result, many amusing tra- ditions of odd courtships are handed down for the entertainment of the young people of to -day. Some of these lovers seem to have been characterized by more fidelity than ardor. It is related that in one villiage there was a couple,; whose courtship lasted. for 40 years. During this long period; •Obed, unless in rare cases of sickness of family troubles, never failed to go every Saturday evening,•ce.refully arrayed in his best, to call on Maria. Maria on her part never failed to respond in person to his knock, and hold the front doaaopen a crack with one hand while the o -,tt't grasped her knitting. Their dialogue, which never varied by more than a word. or two, ran thus: "Evenin,' Maria." "Evenin,' Obed." "I kinder thought I thought maybe you was lonely." "Well, I ain't lonely, Obed, so you Let- ter go right home again." Then the door and the conversation dos- ed. at -the end of --417 yeag We' to were married, Maria giving as her reason for consenting that she was so tired of Obed's ridiculous behavior she thought she had better marry him to be rid of him.— Youth's Companion. A WONDERFUL PIECE OF MACHINERY. -- A great deal is said about the deli- cacy of machinery nowadays, but the most sensitive machine ever made is that which is used in the mint in Phil- adelphia for determining the weight of gold coins. The coins run down into it through a spout; it balances them for an instant; if light, they are tossed out through one spout into a receiver; if heavy, through another; if exactl right, as most of them are, throug a third into a sack provided for them. afrg The machine is so wonderfully. sensitive r" that on one occasion when it rejected a large number of coins as being too heavy, an examination was made of the mechanism, and it was found that a hair was caught in the scales and made overweight for every coin that passed through. 7'11'flitffiRIV PME ciarreaizw •TrifOORSIOL9.1\1; AccordinB. to the ltiat census there are 18,090,90° 'horses in the trnited States, More stallions with records of or better eiPe owned in California than in any other State, A well-known horseman says; "The fastest pacers whose natural gaitis the trot, Oarsman, the famous race horse, was • recently sold at alletiOni by a constale at Ciloucester, N. J. for $32. "You can tell more about a man's character)y trading horses with him once," says a prominent writer, than you can by hearing him talk a year in prayer meeting. American horses are being shipped to Aberdeen, Scotland, for coach and driving purposes, and one dealer has opened a stable there for the exclusive handling of American -bred horses. The best arqdyne and expectorant for the cure of colds and ..oughe and all throat, lung and bronchial troubles, is, undoubt- edly, Ayers Cherry Pectoral. Ask your druggist for it, and, at the same time, for Ayer's Almanac, which is free to all. First-class trainers of trotters com- mands nearly as much salary as pro- fessional base -ball players. It is: rum- ored that Marvin will have $10,000 a year for handling the, Prospect Hill Farm trotters, and Mr Hamlin is to pay E. F. Geere $5,000 a year for five years. In an interview not long ago Sena- tor Stanford said that the fastest year- ling trotter ever raised at Palo Alto was Rowena, by Azmoor, a son of Electioneer that has a record of 220i, dam a thoroughbred mare. As Az - moor was half thoroughbrd, Rowena had three-fourths running blood in her veins. She went wrong early in the season after tratting a mile in about 2:404 An English paper says: "A stallion should be so trained that he can be taken out in any company or driven on any road without squealing or i prancing to show that he s a stallion. Stable manners and road manners can • be taught to a horse as well as a child. What he needs to be taught is that he is a horse, and should be taught to act like a sensible, tractable zone. This can be done by his keeper having con- stantly before his mind this idea, that he needs to use all his faculties, or the horse will beat him thinking." It is said by a, New York paper that after Sunol reaches the East she will be jogged on the road by her owner. People who have seen Sunol perform on the track when she was feeling real well will rather doubt this statement, made in advance, that Mr Bonner or anybody else is going to jog the Cali- fornia mare on the road unless such person cares very little for the safety of his life and limbs. It is true that Sunol has the fastest record of any trotter in the.world, as a raciug ma- chineagainst the watch there is no question of her superiority to all other trotters, but for road use, unless she materially alters her disposition with- in a very short time, she will not he -valuable-orr-the-rfiNd; n7fill- the chances are that Mr Bonner's drives behind her will be neither fre- queur pleasant. In a livery stable in San Francisco recently, an alleged horse doctor and a nurnber of ordinay citizens were look- ing at a horse that was ill, and each was giving his opinion as to what was t,he matter with the animal and what should be done for it. At last. the doc- tor took umbrage at some suggestion made by a gentleman who has been in the butcher business for many years, and asked him what he kneW about horses anyhow. "1 should% wonder if I knew some things about a horse which you do not," was the reply. "Can you tell me how large a gall a horse has ?" "Of course I con," said the surgeon. "A horse's gail is not so e as that of an ox. It varies in size ifferent seasons, being the lar est in the spring, when the grass flrst starts, when it is something larger than a hen's egg." "You are sure of that, I suppose ?" said the butcher. "Yes, I have examined many a one." "Well, that is singular," said the butche, "for a horse has no gall." THE DAYS WHEN WE WERE MONKEYS. A London scientific gentleman, Dr. Louis Robinson, has been making some curious experiments which begin at the nursery end of human life. He has summed up his investigations in an article entitled "Darwinism in the Nursery." He concludes that the ac. tions and vocal sounds of newborn in-, fants give additional evidence in favor of the theory that man is descended from a simian ancestry. For instance, when a baby says "goo, goo," it is merely giving utterance to some rem- nants of the monkey tongue. If its mother was today a monkey instead of merely the descendant of a monkey she would know just what the word • `goo" meant. But the doctor finds the moat remark- able cirmunstantial evidence in the tre- mendous grip of a baby's hand com- pared to the diminutive size of its body. Any health baby of more than two heurs old can support the weight of its body by clinging to the limb of a tree. Dr. Robertson has experimented with 150 healthy babies, ranging from two hours to several days old, and in only two cases have the babies failed to hang by their hands to a stick or branch for froni ten seconds to two minutes and a half. This, in fact, would be a good test of an infant's robustness. To the doctor's mind this fact points clearly to a survival of the days when all mankind were monkeys and swung by their hands from liinb to limb of a tree, from the oldest to the youngest, as easily as a fly walks on the ceiling, In some ways we have lost as much as we have gained by civilization.
