Daniel Webster and His Retainer. When Webster was at the zenith of his ct.raer, a gentleman waited upon him one day to engage him for the defense in an important case at law, the amount at stake in the suit being $80,000. The gentleman asked Webster what the retaining fee would be. “A thousand dollars.’’ A thousand dollars!” exclaimed the 'gentleman. “Yea But think for a moment what ♦engage to do, sir.

History chronicles no improvement in the horse made by the agency of matt. The horses of the days of Pharaolu-or of Homer, have their superiors in n</part of the civilized world to-day. The Arabs have for ages been noted for the excellence of their horses, but that excellence was not created, nor hsis it been increased by the arts of man. Since the time of Cromweli the horses of England have steadily degenerated. Those most conversant with the matter say that this degeneracy has been the most marked ana rapid during the last fifty years. The horses of this country lack the value of their ancestors of the Rev6lutionary period. Nowhcrer-^or at no time, can man boast of improving the horse by the arts of breeding. What is the reason of this? The horse, the ox, the' hog and the sheep comprise the four great classes of domesticated farm animals. In certain directions man has improved these three last. These improvements have made them more valuable). Jfhte ox has been bred to make more flesh from the same amount Of food, and to lay on lat at -an earlier age; the cow has been bred to give instead of a supply of raiik barely jarge enough to sustain her yopijgr'u' bountiful yield, and- of a richer quality; the hog has been bred into pork: the sheep lias; teen bred to yield more wool, and of a finer texture, and to make more mutton. All these changes have been beneficial because the value of the animal lay in its production of beef, milk, pork, wool or inuttoB, as the case might be. It is true that these changes have been accomplished at the expense of vigor and ■endurance. These two qualities are important in the hog, ox or sheep, but those that have been developed so far overshadow t^eir lessening that on the whole weoafishy; that the artg of man have improved ■'one kine, swino and sheep. But it is not so with the horse. Its value does not depend upon the quantity and quality of itg/flesh, milk or bod^y covering. Unlilre the others, its valuedepends upon the work it can dp. Hence vigor and endurance a-o the prime essentials of a good horse. But ■ as man has lessened the. vigor and etF durance of the hog, ox and sheep, so he has of the horse. This is the invariable result of human art. Whenever man tampers with the work of nature he is certain to lessen bodily vigor. It ociuld not be otherwise. For the course of nature, undisturbed and undeflected, is always towards the greatest health. Man changes the course of nature and the result is lessened vigor and endnrance. Man has improved sortie qualities ot the horse. He has increased its speed, perhaps, but only ■ for short distances. Our race-horses of to-day would make a sorry record With those of days no longer past than those of the “pony exipress,” to say nothing of the couriers of centuries ago, because they have been made to deteriorate in vigor and endurance. We have ponderous, heavy horses to-day; but they can not do as much work before the plow or dray as those of the eighteenth ephtury. We can not point auywhere to horses produced by breeding that are the equals

v»*v> uviow vi. iuc uajij UIIIV aJ ry . They lack not only in vigof .and hardihood, but in intelligence. TAs the perfect symmetry of development by the course of nature has been destroyed by man, the intelligence of the animal lessened. Whenever the hand of man has touched his equine friend it has been only to mar. This decrease in the excellence of the horse can not be shifted from man to time. One instance alone demonstrates the unrairness of this. The Andalusians are now mere ponies, yet they are the descendants of those noble beasts ridden to victory by the Spanish chivalry in the days when the valor of the horse was as important as the valor of the knightly rider. Taken from their hills and valleys to serve in the haunts of men, and to be snbjeoted to the arts of breeding, they have sadly degenerated. But tiTe horses of the Spanish explorers of both North end South America escaped, and to-day the descendants of these same Spanish horses are, under the nurture of nature iand nature's ways, the superb wild horses of the new world. They are the work of nature; the Andalusian ponies are the work of man’s art— Prairie Farmer. —An old lady named MeGrory, living ?e^,i?£<!en8burf>b’ Y., met" with a horrible death the other day. She went to m open well to get a pail of water. After she had been gone some time some of the family looked out of the window and saw the pail standing by die well, but thought she had left it there and called at one of the neighbors. After three hours had elapsed they sent to inquire for her, but she F«8 not there. They then looked la the well and saw her lodged in the well With her head under wafer and her beds up, dead. She was it very heavy woman, and it required a tremendous itifforl to pull her out. The limbs were Smost pulled off before the hody was leased from iia position the well— Albany Journal,

The Bo; Couldn’t Stand It, — A boy about twelve years of age < called at a doctor's office Sunday afternoon and asked him to visit the house in a professional way, as his mother had been? severely injured. The doctor found the woman lying on a lounge, with a black eye. a smashed nose, sev- ‘ eral contusions on the head, and a gen- , orally used-up appearance. “ V\ here did you fall:1” he asked. “Nowhere!” she answered. . , “ Did you get run over?” “ No, sir.’’ “Looks to me as if you had been struck and choked-” “Yes, I have been.” “Husband, I suppose?” “ Yes, sir.” “ We:l, he ought to be senj, to State Prison for a year,” continued-4he doctor, as he found a new bruise. The woman remained silent, but after a moment the boy spoke up: “Now, mam, that’s dead mean to let him go on and ahuse pap that way! Here, doctor—come in here!” He opened the door of a bed-room. - and the physician found a mar with a cut on his jaw, two more on h:s scalp, a lacerated ear and both eyes closed up. “Now, then,” said/The boy', as ho gave the quilts a pull, wouldn’t it be better to send mam np for about eight months and give pap r!S!tr?” The doctor agreed with him.—Detroit Free Press.

A Voluble Book Agent Squelched. A book agent found his way to the third story of a cigar-box factory on the corner of Wood bridge street and Woodward avenue last Saturday afternoon and seating himself on the edge of the freight elevator he proceeded to descant upon the merits of his 1 ook to the pretty and industrious-gilds engaged in the manufacture of the boxes. He was scarcely seated, however, before one of the girls said hurriedly: "Don’t sit there." The book agent, who was absorbed in his business, disregarded the warning and a moment afterward the elevator suddenly descended. The elevator box measures twentyfour by twenty-six inches, a,tid the last seen of the book agent on tho third floor was a flash of pants anti boots'in a perpendicular position. The box fetched up with a thud on the first floor, and the agent was shol from the aperture a distance of fourteen feet and under a table, from which he hurriedly extricated himself and bolted for the door, exclaiming:, "I didn’t dc it!” The girls request that-he return foi his wares.—Detroit Dost. Laughter Better Than Physic. Laughter is one of the best physician! known, being as necessary, a? pure air is to invalids, hypochondriacs, sufferers from nervous exhaustion, and those prostrated by business cares and mental worries. He is a gay companion, a foe to gloom and death, for being a, disciple of Aloliere, joy, brightne ss and health accompany him everywhere. His treatment is simple and applicable to all, ages. He never makes any charge for his services, and he is always ready to eorae when sent for. His face wears the brightest of- smiles, which are in themselves better than most of the drugs in the pharma 'opn ia for curing certain diseases, and his presence is sufficient to rouse the weak and lethargic into new.; life. Invalids should consult him as often as possible if they would lighten theiftburd ns, make their lives longer and ’happier, and defy the approaching ^and of Time, which spares nc one froi£ its withering influence.—Bot;-Bella. ,

OBT OF THE DEPTHS. hn Correspondent*. Researches and a Remarkable Occurrence Me Describes. . Bt. Albans, Vt, Jan. 10,1884. Messrs. Editors: The upper portion of Vermont is one of the pleasantest regions n America during the summer And oue of ;be bleakest during the winter. It affords unple opportunity for the tourist, provid; ng he chooses the proper season, but the present time is not that season.. Still there ire men and women here who hot only enlure the climate, but praise it unstintingy. and that, too, in the face of physical. lardships the most intense. The writer leard of a striking illustration of this a few lays since which is given herewith : Mr. Joseph Jacques is connected with the Vermont Central Railroad in the Capacity if Master Mason. Be is well advanced' in rears, with a ruddy complexion and hale appearance, while his general bearing is such as to, instantly impress one with his itriot honor and in egrity. Several years igo he became afflicted with most distressing troubles, which prevented the prosecution of his duties. He was languid, and yet restless, while at times-a dizziness would come over him which seemed almost blinding. Hia will power was strong, and he deterhlined not to give way to the mysterious influence which seemed undermining his liie. But the pain and annoying symptoms were stronger than his-will, and he kept growing gradually worse. About that time he began to no ice a difficulty in drawing on bis boois, and it was by the greatest effort that he was able to force his feet into them. In this manner several weeks passed by, until Anally one night, while in great agony, he discovered that his feet had, in a short while, swollen to enorpions proportions. Tbs balance of the narrative can best-be described in his own words. He said: “ When my wife discovered the fact that I was so bloated, she sent for the doctor immediately, rfle made a most careful examination and prononneed me in a very serious condiUon. Notwithstanding his care, 1 grew worse, and the swelling of rny feet gradually extended upward in my body. The top of my head pained me terribly ; indeed, so badly that at times it seemed almost us if it would burst. My feet were painfully cold, and even when surrounded with hot flannels and irons felt as if a strong wind were blowing On them. Next my right leg became paralyzed. This gave me no pain, but it was exceedingly unnoying. About this time I began to spit blood most freely, although my lungs were in perfect condition, and I knew it did not come from them. My p iysiciapa were careful and untiring in their attentions, but unable to relieve my sufferings. My neighbors and friends thought I was dying and many called to see me, fully twenty-five on a single Sunday that I now recall. At last my agony seemed to culminate in the most iu.ense, sharp pains 1 have ever known or heard of. If red hot knives sharpened to the highest degree had been run through my body constantly they could not have hurt me worse. I would spring up in bed, sometimes as

much as three feet, cry out in my agony and long for death. One night the misery was so intense that I arosts&nd attempted to'fco into the next room, but was unable to iiit my swollen feet above the little threshold that obstructed fhem. 1 fell back upon the bed and gasped in my agony, but felt unable even to breathe. It seemed like death. “Several years ago Kev. Dr. J. E. Rankin, now of Washington, was stationed' here as pastor of the Congregational Church. We all admired and respected him, and my wife remembered seeing somewhere that he had spoken in the highest terms of a preparation which had cuFed some of his intimate friends. We, determined to try this remedy, accordingly sent for it, and, to make a long story short, it completely restored my health, brought me back irom the grave, and 1 owe ail I have in the way of health and strength to Warner’s Safo Cure, better know n as Warner’s Safe Kidney and Liver Ctire. I am positive that if I had taken this medicine when I felt tile first symptoms above described, I might have avoided all the agony I afterward endured, to say nothing of the narrow escape I had from death.” In order that all possible facts bearing upon the subject might be known, I called on Dr. Oscar F. Fassett, who was for nineteen years United States Examining Surgeon and who attended Mr. Jacques during is sickness. „He stated that Mr. Jacques had a most pronounced case of Albuminuria or Bright’s disease of the kidneys. That an analysis showed the presence of nlbnmen and casts in great abundance and that he was in a condition where few, if auy/ever recover. His recovery was due to Warner’s Safe Cure. Mr. -Tnlip \V. Uqb,*irf1 of the Vermont Central Railroad, stated that Mr. Ja< ques was one of the best and most faithful of his employes, that bis sickness had been an exceedingly severe one and the company were not omy glad 0again have his services, but grateful to the remedy that had cured so valuable a man. Mr. James M. Foss, Assistant Superintendent and Master Mechanic of the .Vermont Central Railroad, is also able to con firm this. I do not claim to be a great discoverer, but I do think I have found in the above a most remarkable case and knowing the unusual increase of Bright’s disease feel that the public should have the benefit of it. It seems to me a remedy that can accomplish so much in the last stages ought to do event more for the first approach of this deceptive yet terrible trouble. F. B.

When Doctors Disagree fc will be time enough to doubt the reliability of Kidney-Wort.
