The Suicide of a Beautiful Voting CJIrl in I,jii!g-in Hospital. New York, April II.

In her deliruni she talked of suicide and today in the presence of the nurse the threw herself from the fourtharory window of the hospital. Her skull wa fractured and death was instantenoua. At the hor.pital liitle is known of her history, licr hasband is not known, and her becuty, nceump.irihuieiits and relined manners create the snspioioti that ine girl waa the viciiia of eoine unscrupulous villain. GOOD STORY OF FAMOUS MEN. I. nci.ln's I"rlentsUi tor C l. Tom jlurp!iy Artlnir's K'.i. B.OtliiK rs Neva Away back in the -lO's there was a largo wholesale hat concern located on Yeevst., ew York. They had an Itieh porter wliowas both ernart and ambitious. In tho?e days the buyers used to come to New York, and cot the drummers go on the road as they do now. This porter went to Iiis employers and asked them to al ov; him to take a case oi samples and call on the buyera at the uptown hote-8 and f-ee if he eou'd r.ot demonstrate that ho was fit hr something better than 'Vweeping out" They allowed him to try. He made a aucceaaful salesman. Finally one of tho firm died and the young Irishman afksd to be admitted to the tirm. He was taken in. It happened that this hat houon bad as all jobbing houses had in thoFo days n western attorney who looked after their western accounts! His name was Abraham Lincoln of Springfield, 111. In lSiO he was elected president of tho Fnited States. On his way to Washington he was the guest for a day or 80 in New York of his client tho Inert porter, salesmen partner in the hat busmeee. Peeuit? Mr. President Lincoln took a preat fancy to his Celtic client and asked him to co on to Washington and Eee hirn inaugurated and to spend a few days with him. Thomas Murphy accepted and he ami Mr. Lincoln became fast friends. When caps were wanted for the troops Thomas Murphy's firm had the contract. Some years afterward it happened that Mr. Murphy's houe had an attorney in New York city and his name was Chester A. Arthur. Collector Thomas Murphy tho fame "Tom" when asked to resign the offica of collector of the port of New York, was allowed to nominate hid fuccosFor, and he named his friend C. A. Arthur. Then it happened that the same "Chet" Arthur became the president of the United State. That ia briefly tho rennen Mr. Thomas Murphy was always eo much at borne at the white house.

SUNDAY THOUGHTS! MOI I MORALS MANNERS
JT A CI-ERQYif AS In the year irrur.ediately following the resnrreetiou of Je us Christ the disciples celebrated every Friday aacomtnemorative of tha crucifixion, and every Lord's day ns an Easter .Sunday. By nd by Christians agreed upon on certain Sunday in the year as their Ilister, and on one certain Friday as their Good Friday. Ever since the great council .at Nice (A. D. 3-3) decreed the day Easttg, haa been celebrated, by our Bomau catho'ic bretLren as it ie today. I'or aea proi.'ötantism discarded Easter, but it ie pleartint to observe how etcadily it has made its way into the thought and lifo of. tiie Christian world, until now it is almost universally reccjnized an I olserved. The possibility of euch an event rests upon tho Divire Omnipotente. The God who originated life is undeniably able to revive it Tho fact is proved ly tha scriptures. Assuming the credibility of the scriptures, no other fact in history is more amply attested. The variety of circumstances under which the risen Savior appeared; the different moods in which the eye and ear witnesses were to whom He showed himself and spoke; the minuteness of the testimony of thesa witnesses; the publication of the occurrence on the very spot where Jesus had died within a few days of his decease, and in the presence of many participants in the crucifixion; tha acceptance of the testimony by these participants, lud the conversion of many of them then :.nd there; the wiiliugnesn of tho aposties to ridk every thin-; upen this truth, and their persistent proclamation of it as the kevftone of the arch oi historical Christianity ; the impossibility of honest mistake on their pari, and their acknowledged honesty and godly sincerity these f icts make up a mass of evidence sufficient to ctnvmce th most skeptical of the historic verity of the Christa' resurrection. VY ell may the universal church put on her singing robes and break forth into & chorus cf faith and thanksgiving. The proper way of looking uponrteath is to regard it as a t art of life. It means transition. 'Ti trausier wo were here; we are there. "Ioath," r.s Victor Hugo s lid, ''is not a blind alley, but a thor ougtifare, opening on earth, ending in. heaven." Montaigne records that to him who told derate, "Tha thirty tyrants have sentenced thee to death." the philosopher made answer: "And nature hath sentenced them !"' So tiie queea in "Hamlet," eeekinx to console the melancholy prince in hia grief for his father, says: Thou knewtt 'tis common all that live must die, losing through natura to etraity. Accept death as inevitable. Prepare for it as for a journey. And then await the day and hour of departure with sereno coTnpoeure. If we aro ready, 'tin rather to be lonccd fcr than feared. t, Taul dipped his pen in the ink of inspiration and wrote: "To die is gain." Heaven is a large and fairer earth. Anciently, God did directlv what he does now through tho medium of the phvaicians. He dictated the diet of men. lie understood from the 'start what medical science begins in our day to see and tench, viz: the vital connection between diet and healtlL. By tho wonderful chemistry of digestion, food is turned into thought. It becomes either the Ihvnlrt of Shitkiicare or the piracy of Capt Kidd. God told the Jews not to eat tho owl. The prohibition Ptill stands morally. The owl ia the emblem of despondency. 'Tis the bird of night and of nightmare. It ia doleful and hideous, with its wo-o! wo-o! It perches over Christian experience. It croaks in tho midst of Christian work. It haunts ministers. It is .1 regular attendant at prayer meetings. It goes to roost in church. 'Tis found atthe fireside. Bird of ill omen ! Dyspeptic bird I Hoist tho window cf your soul, Eaith. one ; put the gun to your shoulder, aim at the biack jungle from which the boot-' im? cornea; pull the trigger, and drop that owl of religious uelancholy into tho bushes. Both abroad and hero foreigners neTer tire of commenting upon the manner in which our American girls run about without chaperons. In Europe, where orisntrii nations tili measurably prevail, and women are regarded aa possessing the seven devils that went out of Mary Magdalene, girla aro kept under strict surveillance until they are married. Then ther are thrown on their own resources without anv training in self-protection, and h it to lail an easy prey to libertines. Our way is different. We believe in teaching our girls what they aro, who they are and what the world is. We train them in self-knowledge and self dependence. Besponsihility ia tho great educator. Put girls in charge of themselves and they will be well looked after, aa a rule. Cloistered virtue is not so strong as virtue schooted and disciplined out in th world. A chaperon ia a relic of barbarism, and eusgesta Persia and Turkey. If our men are kings, and women are queens, they are free and independent. Woe betide any intruder upon their liberty ! No man in recent tiroes has been eo bepraised on the odo hand, and eo dispraised on the other hand, as the late Walt Whitman. Col. Inersoll, for instance, said at the funeral, pointing to tho coffin: "The moHt eminent citizen of this republic is dead before us." The Jnlcvrrn'mt, commenting on the same occurrence, remarks : "He wrote the noisiest, noisomest stuff" ever called poetry." The truth, probably, lien betweon those two estimate. Whitman's nastv celebration of the body and its functions chilled Emerson from his eiderad caused the poiico to eurpress the volume. But his life-long ministry to the sot, the criminal, the pauper reveal the tenderness and democracy of hia nature. Whitman was tho granite bowlder of literature. Ho wan rongh, uncouth, but largo and strong a nineteenth century Goth, as 'the Rrpullic declared a week ago. The attitude of a church which persists in holding on to a pastor loner after his usefulness is gone, writes tho editor of the Uoinilitic.

Tis saUl thero are sixty thousand commentriear 5n the bible. Most of theni aro lifee cobweba on a window-pane obscuring instead of i. laminating. A certain lady once borrowed a commentary. On returning it she, aaid: "It is very interesting, but I think the labia throws much light oa it." St. rUsrnerd searched nature to find an emblem of the crosa in its two-fold respect cl helpfulness and burdensotnener-s. "I aeetn," qttoth he, "to. Und a shadow of it in the w jiga of a bird, which aro indeed Iwrne by' the creature, and yet support her flight to vard heaven." A superficial reading of the bible is as injurious as is a hearty eating of on'a mals dyspepsia results in both cases. As a physienl d vspepsic eructates gas, so does tho spiritual dyspeDsic belch forth follv. 'Tis better to be "mighty in the scriptures' than, eloquent about them. There is a sujrgeative old saw to the effect that every one complains of bis memory, bait nobody of his judgment. Short pistorates aro in fashion nowadays. Wlven the late Ward Beecher was delivering h lectures on preaching at Yale college, lie was asked to explain this fact. "Largajy. I think, the divine mercy toward the parish," was the quick reply. That there aJ.o advantages in a long pastorate goes without the saying. I: a pastor stay as long as he is useful and aggressive and holds the church and advances the kingdom of God. A largo and varied and tactful minister may d thia for no any y eons. But the averagö congregation takta the measure of the average pawtor very soon. The voice, the manner, the way of looking at and dividing truth, are knows.. The effect is discounted. Then 'tis tüme to move c. Tho congregation is relieved and ia inspired bv anew pulpiteer and the departed pastor finds novelty and exhilaration in a new field, is freshened and brightened, too. I regard th9 historicol evidence of the resurrection as standing on a far wider basis than the historical evidence of any single miracle in the Now Testament. Dr. Tho fact which Easter celebrates proves not 'perhaps the Deity, but certainly the divine authority of Jesus as a teachor esat with a supreme and God-attested mission. Jo$nh Conk. Thousands aad tens of thousands have gone through the evidence which attests tho resurrection of Christ, piece bv pieco, as carefully as ever a judge summed up in the most important cause. I have myself dona it many times over, net to persuade others, but to satisfy myself.

What good would have been done had Gideon. Jeptbah and Samson, after risking life for the deliverance of Israel, been defeated and slain? None. !So with Christ. His resurrection is his honor and glory and our salvation and coronation. Altenhurgrr Bihd. According to the Cincinnati Medical Journal the current issue of the Sel-i-Kwai, a medical journal of Japan, contains several tables showing the number and age of the inhabitants of the empire, together with the number of houses at the close of 18'.)0. There are 40,50O.0!)0 people ia Japan occupying about 8,000,000 houses. In lS'JO there 313,141 marriages and lOD.OöS divorces. South Dakota is nowhere. But the noteworthy feature in the Japanese census is the large number of persons M ho have attained the age of 100 years and upward. At the close of 1890 there wero eighty-one persons 100 years old, fortv-six of 101. twentv-six of 101. seven of 10.1, aix of 104, one of 105, seven of lOo and three of 1(17. Tim tntal number whose vital innings had reached three figures was 11, and the united ages of this century colony aggregated 1(5,937 years. In further proof of the longevity of the Japanese, thero were living at the end of lS'jO no less than 11,243 between tho ages of ninety and ninety-nine. A most stupendous collection indeed ia this of old individuals. 'Twould be interesting to know how many of them answer toShnkepcare'a portrait of decrepitude in his famous passage on the seven ages, and are sans teeth, eana ecs, sans taste, sans everything. Emilie Carlen writes (In "Ilosea pa Tistolon," vol. IL, p. 179) that whe- a newly married couple left the house where the ceremony waa performed it was a longestablighed custom in the .Swedish provinces lying alongthe Gulf of Bohus, to throw a cat, together with a bread-cake, out through the door in order to conciliate domestic happiness. Who can explain the significance of the cat so symbolized in poet nuptial rites? The Rev. B. Fay Wills, whoso success in evangelistic work in Cincinnati was so remarkable, would do well to come further west. Here are fields equally as needy and promising. We ay to him in the words of Horace Greeley, 'JGo west, young man." A distingulghed preacher refers to'some of the difficulties attendant upon prayers. Can you keep your mind ten minntcs on one supplication? lew can. nhile you ; are praying your store comes in, your ' kitchen comes in. your losses and gains ' come in. The minister spreads his hands j for praver and you put your head on the ; back of the pew In front and travel around j the world in five minutes. A brother i risra in prayer meeting to "lead."

DREAMS. Explanations end Incidents of Phenomena of Dreamland. the The phenomena of dreams has been an enigma iu all past sees, moro than it is now. Indeed, in early times a drenni was often considered as a communication from the spirit world, from the Deity, and occasionally btcttght good cr evil upon tho people of a whole nation, or changed a coureo of a government, though tho only foundation it ever had in fact was in imj nssions on some sensory nerve, as seeing, feeling, hearing, smelling or tasting, generally feeling cr hearing. In eleep the nervous system is in a quiescent 6tate and unconsciousness obtains, and, upon wakinir, we have but a vague idea, if any, of how long we have slept, if the sleeD has been sound and perfect. Thcush tho brain in perfect sleep takes no cognizance of any passinz events, as all avenues to that citadel aro closed, the vital functions of life are still maintained uninterrupted. The heart keopa tho blood in cirru'atioa by its regular throbs, and the lungs furnish tho oxygen in interrupted respiration, while digestion and assimilation proceed as in waking hours. The brain is composed of many different part, called organs, each performing a function peculiar to itself and one that is performed by no other. This is truo of all the body, each part does its own work, find can do nothing else. The heart propells the blood, the lungs do the breathing, eyes tiie seeing, ears the hearintr, olfactory nerves the smelling, gustatory nerves the tasting so every part has its own work, and can, by no possibility, do the work of another part. 'This principle applies to the brain as well as to the body. Thero is an organ of memory, and it remembers ell that is remembered, one cf recfion that does all of that. Dreaming h crossing the borderland between sleeping soundly and bsing fully awake, and a very narrow strip of land it is, never requiring more than a few seconds to cross, though days, even ages sometimes, seem to have passed in one dream. Were tho brain but one organ it would have to be asleep or awake as a whole, and dreams could not occur. .Dreaming is but thinking, and is governed by the same rules all thought is governed by, though iraDarlcct thiuking may be remarkab e. Like ail thought it is excited by some suggest'on coming through the avenue of some one of the five aensea, and that susgetion or impression mado on the brain, that is to say the mind, is immediately connected "with something that lias made more or less of a deep impression on the dreamer. Thus two gentlemen were sleeping in the same room one was a conductor of a passemrer train and the other a raiiroad bridge builder. A door was closed with a bang", making a loud noise: each heard it and mm. 1 VrTFl J"", IWü. J1!1 öonl r:ienced to dream, that it ia to think about run his train upon the very bridge the bridgo builder M as to visit on his train the next morning and examine. He dreamed the bridge broke and all went down with a terrible crash, which was the noise he heard. He heard the criea of the wounded, the groans of the dring. He thought he went to the ne'areet telegraph office r.nd telegraphed the accident to the officers of the road and most seriously upbraided thein for sending him, and kept on in this train of thoucht till he became a witnesa in the suits tor damage. i ii.oiiii.iiu, mu inuwe uuuucr, uremneu I substantially the same dream, that the bridgo went down, many were killed, more wounded, he complained to the olficers who still kept trains passing over the bridge when it was considered weak, and upon waking each told tho other his dream and hoth were greatly surprised, and soon both had creamed the same dream. By bearing both stories, forgetling the littlo vague details of the dream, but remembering the statements ail seemed one. Though this seemed so strange to them, how plain and simple to a student of the brain and mind. One of these was going to inspect a bridge supposed to be in a danserous condition, which he was expected to repair, he was going on the train conducted by the other. At supper and before going to bed they hud talked the matter over together, and retired with that uppermost In their minds, and the noise from the closing door euctrested to each the fail of the bridge, that" event suggested killing and wounding people, the dead sinking, the living ttrugaling in the water, broken cars, wrecked bridge and all else. The writer once dreamed he was wading in cold water ; then he was a bov again. Ha dreamed a crawfish laid hold of his toe which caused a start and a scream. He awoke to eee his mischievous eight-year-old son. who had come to call him to breakfast, standing at the foot of the bed. The latter had thrown tli6 cover back, tho cold air upon his foet suggested tho idea of wading in cold water us be used to do when a boy. A clothes pin with a stout string to it, fastened upon his toe was the crawfish, to tho exceeding delight of the little fellow who put it there. Waking followed and not to exceed rive seconds had elapsed from the time the cover was thrown back till the eieeper was entirely awake, though hours seemed to have fiassod wading, fishing and worrying that eft much weariness. In dreams the dreamer never sees or hears anything that lie has not ceen cr heard before. Dreams never create new things or ideas, that which has been proscnted to tho mind before, passes in a panoramic review before it again. In abort, it is rememberinc, is reverting to it. The dream mar bring together a heterogeneous jumble of the most widely diverging facts and objects, or it may collect certain incidents tog ether so plainly that the dreamer can scarcely keep from believing that porno person has talked with htm in his sleep. The rapidity of the action of the mind while dreaming, i And the Ion r rinn, nf tiinnHrsnmnm ll.i'nlr ! n ' - k.mu.,1 d ...iu. they have been dreaming, is accounted for
I
by the tact that sleep Jocks the mind up from external surroundings, thus preventing taking note of passinc time. The first part of the dream, for a second or two, nicy be about something that transpired in the morning, tho mind then may ouickly pass to noon or to an event that took place in the evening: altogether may be finished in a few minutes. LTpon waking tho sleeper seems to think he was dreaming a period as long as the space his mind seems to pass over. It is common with the old to very largely d roam of childhood, from the fact tho lirt impressions ure made to deeply upon tho minds, that is to say the brain cells, years cannot fade out the lights and shadows. This is truo in the dreams of failing lifo while tho echoing footfalls of death approach he who waits at the water's edge. The old man, dying, often becomes a child again and communes with little playmates as ho passes out ujon the shoreless sea and calls back in broken echoes to tho friends of his youth, who, though gone before, yet seem to him to play upon the strand. Thus memory anuihilatea time and space and death. J. A. IIorsEit, M. D., Indianapolis, Ind., April 13. f
PUBLIC MEN SPEAK.
OPINIONS OF IMPORTANCE FREELY tXPREbSLID. lloat Interacting ami Va.lhl! Facta Itroog-ht Out In an Interview by Oar Correapntent. Washington. D. C, April 13.-Th Interviewg with various prominent men which I recently sent you as to the ypparentl bjitcrioua causa ot tae untitaeiV aad audJen deaths among tuera have aroueed a great deal of excitemeut. Senators, representatives end heda of department! all declare that unless .tume steps can be takea to avoid the killing ruins of public life few prominent inea would Are to rnn for office. TrsceJ to its source, it ha become fully apparent that there is one .great canse for it ail, and that csupe is the weaving strains upon errtaia organs of the body wkVh cause their tissues to give way, acd heaoo brine about sickness or sadden death. I continued the investigation, whioh was reported yesterday, by calling upon a number of leading public men. Hon. Daniel Lock wood, csnial and wbotesouled, has an extensive knowledge of the publio men of the country. lie wo we.l aware of the drains to whioh they are sub jected, and the sudden deaths which have been ao prevalent. 'It would seem," he said, "as thongh there should be some way of preventing these thin. Our grandfathers had family remedies that seemed to preserve health aDd prolong life, and it would appear as tboneh seme modern diseovery should be found whioh would answer the same purpose for the added strains of modern life. I think if any one hns such a discovery it is certainly uiy friend Warner with his famoas Safe Cure. I know of a treat many people who uceitconatintly, and 1 have in mind one ceatlemaa consected with the government printing office here who, together with his wife, has oeo-Jsioa to be exceedingly grateful for the restored health and strength which Warner'a afa Cure has imparted." Hon. U. Greenlenf was found in the House of Kepresentatives. lie said: "The exhaustions of public life ere certainly very creat. but so also are the strains of business life, of j professional life, of social life. I have personal , ne!i!a.niauce wnn .nr. earner, tne discoverer oi tao celebrated afe Cure, and I ronsi.ier :t far superior to any or ail ether preparation.. Certainly any article as popular as that and selling as extensively as it does, mutt have un usual raer.t Probably the most remarkable cie of a gov ernment ofScal brought to death's door and then rescued is that of Mr. J. Henderson Wilkinson, a prominent attorney of this citr. In conversation with me, he said: "Ten years at i was seized with an attack of Bnght's d seaae I was then at work in the Treasury, here. 1 kuow it was rieht s cisease lor several rea sons. In early life, I studied medicite some little time, I knew from my symptoms what my irourjie was, nut 1 wca also in the Lands of my physicians. How badly I beccmo, you can understand when I say that my hands beeama blaated and actually cracked open. My limbs aud body would alternately awell andcodapse. I could only creep across the floor. Finally mr phyeiciao said to tne: You are at death's door with Bright'a disease. You may live a lew weeks, but there is absolutely no hope of your reeovery.' Althnueh I was ao very ick my friend did not desert me. Is umber a f them called to express their sympathy. Col, Daniel A. Grosvenor, Judue Tarbel, Itev. Dr. Itunkin, Co!. Uobert M. Doualae more than a hundred prorainentmen extended to me their sympathy. None supposed for a moment I could ever recover. Upon the advice of the Bey. Dr. Kaakiu, now president of the Howard University, I be?an the use of a preparation of which I had but little knowledge. I began to improve at once. I continued iia use, nothing else, and 1 state to you toJsy that I owe my life aolely to Warner's Safe Cure, which reacued rue from the grave after the doctors bad abandoned all. hope. I am certain tt.at if men and women generally fully realized the wonderf q1 power of thia great discovery, and uaed it faithfully, there would be leas sickness, fewer deaths, longer life and more happiness than at rresent." I was greatly impressed with Mr. Wilkinson's earnestness of manner. Certain it is. that his statement ia true, and that he is today in perfect beaith. benator Blaekbarn not only knows what wearing strains of political life are, but also of the power which the great discovery above mentioned has shown hoth in Washington and throughout the land. Indeed, he ia a living example of its efficiency. 1 sw Senator W. C. Squire, Mr. II. C. Clark of the Fint Auditor's Office. Captain J. (i. Ball and many othor.i. and their statements amply confirmed all I had previously learned. Mr. Abraham I. Hahn, well-known in newspaper and army ciroles, said: "Personally, I hare used Warner's Safe Cure, and consider it the best medicine in the world for the diseasr s it is recommended to cure. A member of my family has also been cured afp?r several physicians had failed to do any good." 2 Jr. II. McNeil, a bichly educated man, a graduate of a medical college, aaid: "I have frequently heard Mrs. Hahn mention Warner'a Safe Cure, and its highly beneficial effect." Wherever I went 1 found tha testimony the same. It wrs reneraily admitted that the strains of pubüo life in Washington were wearing and shortening to the life, but it waa universally conceded that for overcoming these tendencies for strengthening the vitality, toning the health and prolonging the lifo nothing had ever been known equal to the great remedy I have above described. fvmrmocD restoree.
