Faults of the Month. Yonth's Companiou A horse dealer look care'ully into the mouth of a hoiEe before he buys him. So a wise teacher can tell a great deal about a boy or a girl by an inspection of the mcuth. There are the teeth, for example. D fective teeth may indicate an hereditary taint; usually they betray unsuitable food; too much sweet, too little of the stud ot which good teetb are made; a diet alluring to a dainty palate, but deficient in nutritive power. Good, plain, honest food, plainly cooked, usually gives good teeth. Look at the teeth of a Carolina negro of pure blood, who has lived all his days on hog and hominy, sweet potatoes and cora-breai. Haw white and perfect they are! Our too dainty diet greatly increases our dependence on the tooth-brash. No doubt, if we all lived exactly as we ought to live, every part of the mouth would be selfcleansing. Bat no one does this. Hence the need of vigorous and judicious use of the tooth-brush at least twice a day. It is notorious that seven children out of every ten will neglect this duty unless they are sharply looked a'ter by r.n uncompromising parent or teacher. Eat the neglectful reven should know that a stool of repentance awaits them, which is commonly called a dentist's chair, and there vs not an instrument in the dentist's awful and glittering array that does not hart more than a tooth-bruäh. Chewing gum is an abominable mouth-sin. In the first place, it spoils the looks of the handsomest boy and the prettiest girl, giving the countenance an unseemly twist and creating constant motion when nature craves repose. It vulgarizes the most refined face and weakens the strongest one. Moreover, it prepares the way for tobacco by overdeveloping the muscles of the jaws, and creating an artificial need of exercising them. Habit is king of boys and men. The habit of chewing remains despotic when the palate is no longer satisfied with the mild flavor if gum. Thee, tobacco, taken in its most nauseous and filthy form! A bad mouth-habit is moistening the lead pencil. A good pencil needs no moiiture, and a bad pencil is not improved by it. Some young ladies, when they are piinting, rise their mouth for bringing the brQ3li to a fine poiot. A New York artist was paraIjzed a few years ago by this habit, and only recovered an imperfect use of his limbs after two years' confinement to his room, "When we add to these sins of the mouth those of an unruly member within ic, we can see that one who would know something of a pupil can not do better than imitate the horse-merchant, and consider attentively his mouth. Yes, we are revealed and betrayed by our mouths, even though we utter not a word. Points for vToald-lle Sallars So many young men want to be naval cadets, and so few know anything about the academy or its life, that some facta oa that subject woud not be amiss. In the first lace, each Congressional district and each erritory is entitled to one representative, who must be an actual resident of the district to which he is credited. Ten candidates are to be appointed "at large" by the President, who usually selects sons of prominent naval orlicera. Whenever a vacancy occurs in the academy, the Secretary of the Navy notifies the Congressman of the district, who recommends a youth tetwean the agej of fourteen and eighteen for appointment Of late yeuij many Congressmen have thrown the nomination oj.ea to competition, the candidate who is best qualified receiving the appointment. In due time the prospective Admiral receive a his orders from the Secretary of the Navy to report for examination at the academy either on May 25 or September 1. When tne candidate makes bis appearance he is obliged to answer voluminous questions regarding his ajre, parentage and condition in life. The following day the examinations commence. From 9 a. m. to 1 p. m. a written 'exam" in geography, history and grammar is Leid, while reading, writing and spelling are also indulged in. The second day is devoted to algebra and arithmetic, the third lor arectrialof those unfortunates who failed in the first day's exercises, while on the lucceeding morning a like service is performed for the mathematical delinquents. A candidate is rot told at the time of his success or failure in the different studies. After the papers have been marked, a list is made cf all who have failed to receive 2 5 (4 being perfect), and the names are posted in the Examination Hall. So, if a candidate sees his name with, for example, geography and history written against it, he is thus made aware of his deficiency, and, if this . spplies to the opening exercises, knows that he must prepare for a ae trial. After the aspirant has passed in all the studier, be is waited en by a servant fiom the academy, who directs him to the surgeon's quarters, or, in cadet language, the "corpse milL" There he is subjected to a very rigid and searching examination by three physicians, and the new-comer must poesess excellent health and strengt a to escape rejectment. At the conclusion a sealed envelope is given the candidate, which he delivers to the Secretary, who telli him whether he shall start for home or regain to be bszed and grow up with the academy. The further requirements inclade taking the oath of allegiance to the United States Government and paving $209 for an outfit. He is now a membar of the academy but hardly in good standing, the first and second classes treating him with contempt, wh'le the members of the third class devise means of tortnre. which in many capes show evidence of ingenuity. '"Statuary" is one of

prominent though unwilling part A third classman after spending some weeks in pre

liminary drills, using the near by ,plebe3" as actor?, will invite his friends to witness a 'full dress rehearsal." Upon clapping his hands a number of "plebes" rush into the room, one climbing on top of the wardrobe, another getting under the bed, others on tables, nnder chairs and in various ridiculous positions, but all as still as so many statues. Another signal is given, and the "statues" change places, the bey from the wardrobe eoing under the bed, while the one from that retreat will probab! Klieve another unfortunate who has bee i standing on his head in the comer. When the audience gets tired the performers are graciously told to "clear out" A countryman from one of the Western States, who entered the academy some three years ago, was seemingly picked out as a butt for the cadets' jokes. One afternoon he was stopped by an upper classman, who sternly inquired: 'Mr. 8., why do you fail to salute me when we pass on the street?'' "Well, ah you ece that I didn't know that I W88 obliged to salute any one but the officers." "Mr. S., If the next time you meet me on the street you fail to salute me, I will be obliged to give you a sound thrashing for insubordination." r "Yes, sir,1' and S. turned away and walked off. "Mr. S.!" again shouted the persecutor. "Ye?, sir," and this time the countryman remembered, and gave a sort of a salute. "Mr. !" thundered the cadet " You amaze me, Eir. If the next time you meet me on the street you dare to salute me I will be obliged to give you a sound thrashing for your presumption." "Say, Mister, you said you'd thrash me if I saluted you, and you said you'd thrash me if I did salute you. Now, by gosh, I've got something to say." Whereupon he proceeded to violate the academy ordinance forbidding trespassing upon the crass by crushing out a small section ot it with the upper classman's dainty person.

CLOCKS OP A CENTURY AGO-

Styles Fo.rrlar In Colonial Days The Pioneer Watch-maker. Mr. Charles S. Crossmau is writing a history of watch and clock making in America, says tbe New York Mail and Express, lie is a dark-haired, pleasant-mannered man, about thirty-three years old. A reporter gained from him historical facts about watches and clocks. "Luther Goddard was the pioneer watchmaker in America," Mr. Crossman said. "He tegan in 1S09 at Shrewsbury, Mass. The factory building was one story high, with a hip roof, and built on the declivity of Shrewsbury hill. There are no traces left of the little factory. The watches he made were eimüar to English ver&e watches. The hands, dials, round and dovetail brasi and steel wire, main and hair springs, balance verges, chains and pinions were all imported, liut the plates, wheels and other brass parts Goddard cast himself. lie had with him several British soldiers who, after the Revolution, decided to remain and ply their trades as watch-makers, lie also made the cases for the movements, which were of the usual Btyle, open-face, doubie-case and somewhat jn advance of the bull's-eye watches of the day. The first watch he made was sold to the father of ex-Governor Lincoln, of Worcester. The first attempt to manufacture watches by machinery in America was made by llenry Titkin in the fall of 1833. lie had four apprentices, each of whom be paid $30 and board a year. The mechinery ws all invented by Mr. Pitkin, and, though very crude, displayed great originality. ' Gideon Roberts was the first to make wood clocks in Bristol, In 17'JO, and one of the first to make them in Connecticut. Iiis decks were the old-fashioned hang-up. The platt s were half an inch thick and afoot square, lie sawed the teeth out by hand, and the weights were tin canisters filled with shot. These clocks were valued at 23each. The one-day weight brass clock was invented by Chauncey Jerome, in 1838, and was the most popular style of cheap clocks for many years. It was this style of clock that was first imported to England in 1SJ2. Mainsprings were first introduced in 1315, and since then the tendency has been to reduce clocks in size. The email nickel clocks, first made in 187t, are an outcome of this popular demand. The colonial high-case, or grandfather clocks, that are sot ght after now by lovers of the antique, were pretty much the only style of clock known a century ago. The Connecticut clocks did not come into use until the beginning of this century, so when the colonial clocks were in vo?ue there were only a few Dutch and English styles besides. Many of the liner colonial clocks of the most celebrated makers are to be found now in the homes of the wealthy lovers of the ant;que and rare in art. These clocks axe cf English origin, and date back to the practical introduction of the pendulum into clocks, early in the seventeenth century. Obadiah Holmes, a minister, brought the first clock of this style from Europe to Massachusetts in 1030, and finally, in 1'JjO, eettkd in Rhode Ihland. These clocks were very expensive, and Rev. Mr. Holmes in thote days was considered very wealthy to be able to possess one. The first knowledge history has of clocks bcine sold in New Eagland was when Joseph Essex and Tnomas Bradley offered them for Bale in Boston ia 1712. It is more than probable, though, tUat Benjamin Bagnall was making clocks as early as this in Boston. No correct data cn be found to prove otheiwise. The first definite knowledge of him was au entry made in the Treasurer's books of Charleston, August 22, 1721, which mentioned that he was paid so much for cleaning the town clock. Bagnali's clocks were tat tier small in size, with cast brass dials and plain mahogany cases. Wiiiiara Clagget, the mjst celebrated colonial clock-maker of the seventeenth century, was born in 1G90. and made clocks at Newport. His clocks were very scarce and highly prized. The movements are all fine and the cases of good workmanship. One now in the Rhode Island Historical Society's rooms is of the hanging style and valued at a high price. "' Clagget was a versatile man, and besides making the best clocks of his time he gained some prestige by writing a religious book. The next maker of importance was John Bailey, of Hanover, who flourished during Revolutionary times. He was a man of great mechanical ability and progressive ideas. He made several hundred clocks, and the workmanship was so fine many of them are running still, almost as good as w hen new. They are all cased in large-sized cherry cases with brass balls onjlop. Simon Williard bean to make clocks in Roxbury, Mass., in 17,6, and soon became famous, He was the mosi exteLsive maker of clocks ol the colonial style in this country. He invented the famous Williard time-piece. His hall clocks were all eight-Jay clocks, and wer usually seven feet high, all cased in plain mahogany, with fret-work across the top, surmounted by three cood-sized brass balls. In 1S15 he made the clock in old St. George's, In Beekman street, New York, which kept tbe standard time or many years. The prices of colonial clocks ranged from $J to f loo. It took from three to four months to get a clock made by the smaller makers, and then usually a long time elapsed before the maker received his pay. The pay was often in merchandise. None but the wealthy could afford clocks in those early dayt! iSaa-dlals were yery common until the Connecticut bang-up wood clocks began to be made in 1710 and sold at f20 each. 15y 1825 hall clocks bad almost entirely been superseded. Wood maEtel clocks soon superseded the hang-up wood clock on account of beiDg smaller and more easily transported. The old colonial clocks represent honest, conscioutious work, and msDy of them run as well to-day as when first mace. Falling In Love. Grant Allen la the Fortnightly Review. 1 e do lall in love, taking us in tbe lamp, with the young, the beautiful, the strong and the healthy. We do not fall in love, taking ns in the lump, with the aged, the ugly, the feeble and the sickly. The prohibition of the church is scarcely needed to prevent a man from marrying his grandmother. Moralists have always borne a special grudge to pretty faces, but, as Herbert Spencer admirably puts it (long before the appearance of Dsrwin's selective theory), "the saying that beauty is Itself but skin-deep is itself tut a skin-deep saying." In reality, beauty is one of the very best guides we "can possibly have to the desirability, so far as race preservation is concerned, of any man or any woman as a partner in marriage. A fine form, a good figure, a beautiful bust, a round arm and neck, a fresh complexion, a lovely face, are all outward and visible aigns of the physical qualities that on tbe whole conspire to make up a healthy and vigorous wife and mother; they imply soundness, fertility, a good circulation, a good digestion. Conversely, sallowness and paLeness are roughly indicative of dyspepsia and atn mia; a fiat chest is a symptom of deficient maternity; and what we call a bad figure is really in one way or another an unhealthy departure from the central and normal standard of tbe race. Good teeth mean good deglatition; a clear eye means an active liver; scrubbicess and underaizednesa mean feeble virility. Nor are indications of mental and moral efficiency by any means wanting as recognized elements in personal beauty. A good-humored face is in itself almost pretty. A pleasant smile half redeems unattractive features. Low and receding foreheads will strike us unfavorably. Heavy, a tolid, halfidiotic countenances can never be beautiful, however regular their lines and contours. Intelligence and goodness are almost as necessary as health and vigor in order to make np our perfect ideal of a beautiful human face ana figure. The Apollo Belvedere ii no fool; the murderers in the chamber of horrors at Mme. Tassacd's are for the most part no,beauties. What we fall in love with, then, as a race, is in most eise elliciency and ability. What we each fall in love with Individually is, I believe, our mora), mental and physical complement. Net our like, not our counterpart: quite the contrary ; within healthy limits, our unlike WM 9UX 9TOOit9i Xtst nis, U j9 has long

been more or less a commonplace of ordinary conversation ;that it is scientifically true, one time with another, when take an extended range of cases, may, I think, be almost demonstrated by sure and certain warranty of human nature. THE WOMAN IN BLACK.

A Specter that Xlannts the Pennsylvania Coal lleglons. For several weeks past the towns and villages of the Lackawanna and Wyoming valleys have been terrorized by a myth called the Woman m Black, writes a Scranton, Pa., correspondent of the New York Times. Its presence was first reported in the Tine Brook section of this city, where it waaaid to have attacked a number of girls on their way home from a ball. After that various persons claimed to have seen the specter, some declaring that it possessed the power of vanishing at will. It crested a sensatiou one evening in the vicinity ol the Lackawanna Iron and Coal Company's steel mill, and when closely pursued by a number of zealous persons disappeared in an abandoned coal mice. After doing all the suburbs of Scranton the specter betook itself to Archbold, a mining town about nine miles north of this city. There it appeared with great regularity lor a week or more, and then proceeded to Carbond ale, some seven miles further on. Carbondale is noted as being the scene of the famous duel between George C. Miln, the reverend tragedian, and "Stage Manager O'Hearn, in which each 6ide claimed a victory. The "Pioneer City," as it is called sometimes, was not more thoroughly shaken np over that histrionic evect than by the advent of the Woman in Black, who was credited with having appeared in a dozen jlacfs at once. While the hair of such of Carbondale's reputable citizens as are not bald was fairly on end with fear of the sable tenor, some enterprising resi lent of Pittatoa suddenly saw the Woman in Black on the depot bridge. She was going in the direction of West littson, and her eyes were brighter than the electric lights. The news of her presence soon spread, and a night or two later she was encountered at the junction, at Sebastopol, at Cork lane, Frogtown, and other aristocratic suburbs of the town. The saloons, the stores and the street corners discussed nothing but the Woman in Black, and while the excitement was at it height the apparition suddenly appeared in Wilkesbarre. The eflorts of the enterprising superstition-mongers of that place were secondtd by the able-bodied imaginations of the local reporters, wo actually professed to have interviews with the somber delusion, and it didn't take long to set the town in a fever of excitement. The people living on the outskirts of the place were soon thrown into a state of terror from which they have not yet recovered, although the Woman in Black has recently been Been in Kingston, Nanticoke and Plymouth across the river. Of late she has not contented herself with simply "appearing," but has assaulted a number of persons, and in some instances has committed robbery. Thus the hallucination which was at first harmless has become serious by afiording unscrupulous and criminally-disposed persons an opportunity to do their wicked ork under the mask of the Woman in Black. The citizens of the Second Ward of Wilkesbaire have resolved on not letting the thing puss as a hoax. Several g'rls were frightened in that neighborhood a few evenings ago by the specter, and their friends have offered a reward of $-30 for the arrest of the individual who masqueraded as the Woman in Black cn that occasion. A haltender at Nanticoke was set upon the other nicht by some one personating the terrible female, and who tried to rob him. Various assaults ot a similar nature are reported from other parts of the vaWey, and what was at first merely a source of terror to the superstitious has become a grim reality in several towns. So great a hold has the scare taken oü the public mind in one way or another that it is not safe for a lady dresied in black to be out after dark. Last evening a middle-aged woman who was dressed in mourning was returning home from a vivrt to some relatives, when she met a couple of young ladies, who tied in great terror at her approach. At first Ehe could not account for it, but suddenly realizing that they had mistaken her for the Woman in Black she ran after them to convince them of their error. The faster she ran the more their terror increased, until she finally shouted: "I am not the Woman in Black! Don't be afraid." It took ber some time to convince them that the really was not the mythical terror they had heard so much of. Just now the excitement is at its height throughout this region, and one of the most popular greetings among neighbors is: "Have you teen the Woman in Black?'' There does not seem to be any remedy for the craze, any more than there was for the tifteaa puzzle, until such time as it has spent its foice. Meantime, it would be well for those who value their lives not to masquerade a3 tbe Woman in Black In these parts. Intended as a Compliment. "You are like the weather," said Joneä to a witty young lady. "That is rather a doubtfal compliment, Mr. Jones," she replied. "The weather is verlable, you know." "Yep," responded Jones, "perhaps it is. But it always makes itself felt, you know." Is the truth-loving, God-fearing boys and girls of the country lies all that is best and noblest in the national life all that promises for the future weal of the country and of succeeding generations. Christian at Work. Tiik doctors are not afraid. At their centennial dinner they had fourteen courses. If they can't always cure dyspepsia they can at least bravely beard the monster ou his own selected battle-ground. Philadelphia Record. Sisce we no longer burn or torture men because they differ from us in belief, or in conceptions of the highest eood, may we not fairly assume that the world has made some progress toward unity for the truth? Philadelphia North American. The opposition of the Catholic Church to his wild theories hf retofore partook of an admonitory nature chiefly. Now it must be open and aggressive in its antagonism, and the result will be to confine Mr. George's following chiefly to the foreigners who have net all religious authority at defiance. His party in future will be small in numbers and tbe opposite of reputable in tbe character of its adherents. Philadelphia Tiaiea.

BOB INGERSOLL ON POLITICS;

Admires Conkllns; Donbtfal About 188 Deprecates the Indiana Contest. Toledo, Ohio, Speclal.1 Colonel Robert G. Ingersoll, who is in the city engaged in a law suit, said to-night in regard to the New York Senatorial contest: "1 have no idea that Mr. Conkling has any ambition in that direction. Of course, everybody admits that no better man for the place can be found in New York; that he is not only exceedingly able, but perfectly upright and reliable. He would occupy about the same position to the Senate that New iork does to the Union. Most people seem to think that Mr. Morton will be elected. Both the other candidates have warm supporters. In these times it is generally thought tbat the richest man has the best chance. This is because there is no gnat question between the parties When the sea is smooth most anybody will de for cj ptain. Judging from what I know of Conkliiig's practice, I should not think that he could afford to take any oßke in the gift of the people." "What do you think of Mr. Blaine?" "Blaine is an exceedingly able and popular man, and would make a good President. The death of Logan may make a change so that the candidate for the first place may again be an Eastern man. Millions of chances lie between to day and the November of 1888. Favorites may make mistakes. In 1871 few men would have guessed Hayes. In 1878 very few txpected to see Garfield President. Accident has elected a good many Presidents, and will probably elect the next. Besides all this, death settles a good many questions. The Important thing is not whom the party is going to nominate, but what the party is go ng to do. What position; Is it going to take on the great questions clamoring for answers? Is it going to take the side of the corporations or of the capitalists? Are the old ideas to dominate? Will any concf ssions be made to the working people? These things are more important than candidates. The old parties do not seem to know that there is anything new under the sua. They seem to think that the ancient issues are still alive, and that the next campaign will be fought on the usual field. There are no real issues between these parties. The only question is as to which shall hold the offices." "What do you think of the Indiana contest?" "Nothing could be more disreputable than the proceedings of the last few days in the Indiana Legislature. It seems that we are constantly on the edge of Mexicanization. All these dead-locks brought about for the sake of party success are calculated to bring the whole system into disrepute. The election of a Senator becomes an unseemly scramble. The successful candidate feels dishonorably victorious. A man elected by a trick or pushed into the Senate by brate force has but little influence. He speaks for nobody and represents about the same. This evil ought to be corrected by the Senate." riijsiology of IMgestlon. Science. 1 The physiology of digestion has been bo thoroughly investigated of late years that it would Beem that there could be very little opportunity for difference of opinion on most of its leading principles, and yet we find that authorities are on some points very much at variance. We are told that nothing can be more prejudicial than the habit of chewing gum, 8upposed to be so common among schoolchildren. The salivary glands are so unn iturally excited, and pour forth so much saliva in the act, that when food is masticated they are not able to respond as fully as is necessary for tke proper insalivation of the food. We are also informed that food should not be eaten just before retiring; that thoroughly refreshing sleep requires perfect repose of all the organs; and that, if we go to sleep with a mora or less full stomach, Bleep will be disturbed and unsatisfactory. The authorities of Amherst College evidently do not agree with these views. In the instructions which they give to their students to guide tbem in their gymnastic exercises, after Fpecifying the kind and amount of physical exercises, they recommend sleeping for half an hour after dinner and supper, if possible; and, if sleepless at night from brain work, to eat a few graham crackers before retiring, to draw the excess of blood from the brain to the stomach. In reference to the practice of chewing gum, this statement is made: Chewing gum daily before eating and between meals increases the flow of ealiva and so aids the digestion of fat-making fcods. It also indirectly stimulates the secretion of the d'gestive juices of the stomach. We have no means of knowing, but we presume tbat Professor Hitcheock, of Amherst, who is himself a physician, is largely responsible for this advice, and have no doubt that he has given it after mature consideration. We fully agree with what is said in the instructions about tbe usefulness fcf food in cases of sleeplessness, and believe that many a person has been kept awaks at night from a mistaken idea ot the abstemiousness before retiring. This, of course, does not mean that late suppers are under all circumstances to be recommended, but a few graham crackers can never do harm, and will often do good. In regard to the chewing gum we do not feel so sure. Besides being a practice which is from an a-sthetic point of view not to be encouraged, it is very doubtful whether, under the most favorable circumstances, it is really a benefit to digestion : and, until there is some guarantee as to the composition of what is called chewing-gam, we should hesitate before recommending it in Euch unqualified terms. Logan Bemtnlscences. Mr. W. A. Crorut, editor of the Washington Pest, who was managing editor and in charge of the Chicago Evening Post, gives an interesting account of General Logan's first election to the Senate. One morning," he says, "General Logan came in, inquired me out, walked np to my desk and introduced himself. Seating himself, he said, 'I've come to give you an item.' Yes?' I answered, with the slight rising inflection which denotes tbe inquisitive mind. 'What can you do for us?' 'I can give you a Soint. You want to be on the winning side, on't you?' I rather resented this, and told him that we not only wanted to be, but expected to be, and usually were as a matter of fact. 'Very well,' he said, twirling his hat on his hand. 'I just dropped in to tell you that I am going to be the next Senator from Illinois.' I was astonished ; Dick Yates, the incumbent, was believed to be sure of succeeding himself, and I had hardly heard Logan's name mentioned for that place. Oglesby was for Yates, the Journal was for Yates, the Tribune was for Yates, and Yates was the manifest destiny of the State. It was two or three minutes before I recovered my breath, for I thought that my visitor was perhaps not Logan at all, but an impostor, using his name to guy me. But he seemed to correspond with 'Black Jack's' tawny pictures and long-haired reputation. ''Want to announce it?' he asked. 'Iam certainly going to win. No Chicago paper has mention edit Perhaps they won't. You have always treated me square, and I have come in to tell you the news and give you the chance.' "1 thanked him and he went out. Then I dropped around to see Charley Farwell, Chicago's favorite Congressman, and tell him about the apparition. 'Logan's all right,' he said. 'He's on the right track; I guess he's going to bring down the coon.' I returned to the office and wrote an article nominating Logan in formal fashion. A few days afterward I got a short note from him saving: 'All right. I see Vou got the news.' I went down to Springfield and witnessed his canvass. It was unique. His headquarters were in one suite of rooms, and those of his energetic and spirted wife were at the other end of the hall. She had a bevy ot handsome and accomplished girls to help her. The rooms were crowded until late at night. Mrs. Logan wts more than an agree able entertainer; she was a politician. She knew the politics of different counties and towns, and who the Influential men were in different localities, and she seemed to understand the jrtAtus el Twitgi intuitively. It

was a short, sharp campaign, and Logan was elected." UTS FIRST LAW PRACTICE. A few days before General Lozan was attacked by the ülness which terminated f ata'ly on last Sunday afternoon, he was sitting with a party of friends in a social way. Tne conversation drifted into personal reminiscences concerning the early life of those present and the hardships which, fn several 'notable instances, had been overcome and proved incentives to the success attained in later years. The General listened for a while without comment, then he smiled reflectively, and, looking at his friends, said: "Well, I guess there is an incident of my life which can not be discounted by any one present It was rougi at the time, but now I can look back and see that some such thing was needed to develop the very qualities which have since made me what I am. In 1852, just after completing mv course of law lectures at the University of Louisville, I found myself in the unpleasant predicament of being without employment and out of money, 40 cents representing the whole amount of my worldly possessions. Taking with me this vsst fortune, I walked to Gills' Landing, whtre, after paying 10 cents for a dinner, 1 went dewn the river on the boat. Arriving at my destination, I went to a friend and made of him the novel request that he would allow me to become an inmate of his house to board for six month?, at the end of which time (if not asked for money in the meantime) I would pay my indebtedness in full. To this he acceded, after ta' king the matter over, and I went away full of hope for the next venture, which W8S to hunt up a suitable office. Finally, I came across one which met the requirements in all respects, and, strange to relate, the owner, although a perfect stiSEger, allowed me to become his tenaet upon the same terms. Emboldened by my success so far, I -went at things with a will, put up my shingle and kept at my work day and night. At tbe end of the six months, true to my word, I found myself not only able to pay my debts in full, but with a good balance remaining oa hand." Laid Away to Rest. Cr.EVEi.A5D, Ohio, Jan. 19.
