Din you ever nolk-e th:it the who goes quietly along attending strictly to liis own business is the man who succeeds? A great saving of both time and energy could lo effected by people only looking after those things which immediately concern them.

MA YOU Pingi'ee, of Detroit, feels that he has sohxl the problem of relieving the poor of that city. He recommended that the vacant lots of the city and the adjacent, country not- in u»e. be turned over to the poor of that city to be culti-•-vatOil in potatoes and other vegetables, Thf example is to be followed by l:uiiaio, X. V.. and other cities. It c:m well be foLowed iviierever there are men who have cuio ii idle time to cultivate a space of groiiii't. There are men around Groonliei-.l who, it they would t-oc-nd in cultivating an acre ground somewhere

the time they now spend loaiirg, they would rai.-e enough vegeiabl to do them and not have to depend on the township for aid. The i.uiVi hel^s those .who help themselves.

GKUMAXY has become thoroughly aroused on the subject of bimetallism, and is demanding an international double standard. Count Mirbach, a leading

conservative and clo^e friend of Emperor Williams, says: Bimetallism in Germany is not any longer a currency question, but a universal, nati onal, oconomic one. It .stands close to the at, present most important problem of the German inner policy, viz., the salvation and maintenance of German agriculture. The distress of the farmer forces the necessity upon us to secure a standard and more stable power of purchase of silver.

It is foolishness to expect England to favor bimetallism, as her interests, that is those of the capitalists and controllers, are against it. The English bond-hold-ers and stock-holders have their investments in every country in the world. What they want is a golden stream flowing into their coffers, and then that gold have the greatest possible purchasing power. The other countries, however, can and should unite on bimetallism and then make such trade discriminations against England and any other countries that continue to stand out against bimetallism until they would gladly come into the union. Gold is too dear and sweat and blood too cheap at the present time. The people who have labor and the products of labor for sale are all directly interested in the money system oft Ids comtry having a broad and substantial basis. Trying to make all the labor, all the products of labor, all the land and improvements, all the stock, and in fact all the business of the country rest on the gold standard is like trying to stand a pyramid on the small end. It cannot be done with safely. Something will topjde and there will be a crash. What the world needs is the free coinage of both gol .1 and silver.

Nearest mother thou hast lefi us, Here thv loss we deeply feel But the one that, lias bereft us,

He can all our sorrows heal. Yet again we hopa to meet thee,

When the day oflife hath fled, There In Heaven witii joy to greet thee Where no farewell tears are shed.

There with the bright Angelic throng, Free from this earth and its gloom,

Thou art Hinging the everlasting .song Of praise to God, I am safe at home.

J'ATTKKSON.

Joseph W. Patterson was born in Stokes county, North Carolina, Dec. 2, 1809, and died at his home in Willow Branch, Ind., of la grippe, March 5, 1895, aged 85 years, 3 months and 3 days. The funeral services were conducted at his late home by Rev. R. W. Thompson, of the Baptist church of Greenfield. His remains were then taken in charge by the Masonic fraternity of Goldeu Rule Lodge, No. ,16, of Knightstown, Ind., In which he held his membership. He was prominent in Masonic circles and was perhaps the oldest Mason in the State, having been made a member in 1830, and all of his subsequent life, upwards of 55 years, was consistent with the principles and teachings of the order, and he was ever faithful in his devotion to the same. He had held responsible offices in Logan lodge, Jamestown, N. C., of which he was an honored member for a

number of \ears, ami was an earnest advocate of Masonry. He loved the grand principl-'-s of the institution so well that the infirmities of his advanced years did not prevent his attending the lodge meetings occasionally. He was conducted to last resting place in Glen Cove cemetery, Knightstown, Ind.. by the order he loved so wel'. He has left a record of uprightness, honesty, sincerity and good will townr»l all men. He was a true friend, a kind neighbor, a loving and devoted husband, a kind and affectionate father. He leaves an aged companion, who is only waiting "till the shadows have a little longer grown," to join him in a blissful reunion "beyond this vale of tears one son, four daughters and two grandsons to mourn their irreparable loss, oue son having preceding him to the better land. Although he had passed his four score years, he retained his mental faculties to a surprising degree. He was very ap preciative for every kindness shown him and almost his last words were thanks to his family and those around him for ministering so faithfully to his wants. He bore his sufferings with patient resignation. He expressed a wish that his family might feel satisfied in regard to his future condition. Sorrowing ones, those words should comfort- you you are not without hope. He was permitted to linger long with you on the shores of time, ere he crossed the mystic river. His declining years and dependence on your love and care only endeared him the more to your hearts. But his life's work is finished, the weary hands are folded in sweet rest, the tired feet will be wearied no more with traveling the rugged pathAvay of life. He rests from his labors, although to your poor sad hearts the long bitter agony of earthly separation seems almost more than you can bear, yet remember that your loss is his eternal gain, and that in that beautiful city to which he has gone there is no more sorrow nor pain of parting. There is no dimness of vision, nor difficulty in hearing there. He sees the happy, radiant faces of the loved oues gone before who have awaited his coming with great joy. He sees the splendor of the Great White Throne and He who sits thereon. He hears the sweet strains of heavenly music and the welcome plaudit, "Well done, thou good and faithful servant thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many." "Wait, dear father, wait. When you reach the courts above.

Look down with the light of your own dear eyes, On those that you used to love, Whisper sweet dreams in our earthly ears,

When we lie down to sleep Paint bright pictures before our eyes, When we awake to weep.

"Wait, dear father, wait-

When you reach the celestial strand For the rest of ns, will be toiling up, To the heights of the better land. For the years that will fall like molten lead,

On the hearts this side of the sea, Will pass like the lights of a beautiful dream,

Dear father over thee."

Benjamin McNamee was born in Highland county, O., Sept. 80, 1827, and departed this life March 11, 1895.

At the age of seven he moved with his parents to Hancock county, Ind. His education was such as could be procured in the public schools of his day. He was a successful farmer and so managed his business as to accumulate a good amount of property. He joined the M. E. church in his twenty-second year, and a few menths later found God in the pardon of his sins and the regeneration of heart and life. For 45 years he was a regular attendant on the means of grace. Only for the past few months was he found absent from the Lord's house, and this because of feeble and failing health. His house was the home of the weary itinerant preacher from the time he first opened it to the time of his death.

On the 9th of September, 1849, he was married to Mary A. Irons, Of this union was born eight children, four sons and four daughtars, One son and three daughters, with the widowed mother, survive him, while three sons and oue daughter preceded him to the spirit world.

J. C. Lewis, one of the c:everest, of comedians, assisted by a company of merit, presented the amusing 'kankeo drama, "Si Plunkard," to a fine audience in Shawhau's Opera House last evening, and never was an. audience more pleased. Mr. Lewis has surrounded himself with a good company. Sam C. Young, as the German comedian, is a whole team, and he was recalled after nearly every appearance. Mrs. Jeanette Lewis, Miss Rice and W. C. West all found favor with the audience and were respousible for considerable merriment. As to the comedy itself, ther's just plot enough in it to bring out the quaint drelleries of the Yankee peddler and his coterie of friends, likewise his enemies. "Si Plunkard" scored a point and will ba greeted by hosts of friends should he return to Tifiiu. —Tiffin. O., Daily Advertiser, Nov. 8, 1894. Masonic Hall, Friday, March 2!)th
