THE SILVER LINING.
There's never a day so suuny
But a little cloud appears;
, There never a life so happy
But has bad its tini of tears;
Tet the sun shines out the brighter
When the stormy tempest clears.
There's never a garden growing
With roses in every plot;
There 's never a heart so hardened
But ft has one tender spot;
We have only to prune the border
To find the f orget-me not.
There's never a cup so pleasant
But has bitter with the sweet;
There's never a path so ruzgtHj
That bears not th? prints of feet;
And we have a helper promised
For the trials we may meet.
There's never a sun that rises
But we know 'twill set at night;
The tints that gleam in the morning
At evening are just as bruht;
And the hour that Is the sweetest
I between the dark and Ug'ut.
There's never a dream that's happy
But the waking makes us sad ;
There's uever a dream of sorrow
But the waking makes us glad ;
We shall look some day with wonder
At the troubles we have hal.
There's never a way so narrow
Rut the entrance is made straight;
There's al ways a gnide to point us
To the "little wicket fiate;"
And the angels will be neaivr
To a soul that is desolate.
There's never a heart so haughty
But will some day bow aud kneel ;
There's never a hvart so wounded
That the Savior cannot heel;
There's many a lowly forehead
That is bearing the iii l ieu sal.
LONGEVITY" AND DRESS SUITS.

I solemnly declare," exclaimed Epicurus,
the corpulent proprietor of dui of tlie most
fashionable restaurants in the vicinity of
aiaaisou square 10 a repvnvi, inav vt up 11 i
see young fellows enter my establishment
and audaciously take their seats at my well
appointel dinner tables in their ordinary
business clothes, my blood boils within me. I
feel it to be an insult which I burn to re
sent." Epicurus was moved to these reflections by
' the arrival of two young men in light check
suits, who calmly entered the restaurs ut
and took their places at a table by the side of
three aristocratic "young bloods' in "claw
hammers" and white neckties.
. "Is a dress suit an alsolutely essential char
acteristic of an aristocratic restaurant P. in
quired the mild youth.
"Most undoubtedly." was the scornful
answer. "If I find that the tendency to
abandon that attire sensibly increases 1 shall
put up a notice prohibiting the entrance of
any one in business clothes. A dress-suit is
at the very root of polite table society. I
know something about it, young man, and
have studied the question deeply. I have
my customers' interests as much at heart as
my own. IU tell you what I mean. One of
the most prominent physicians in this city
told me as a positive fact that the reason
Engl sh statesmen, barristers, and justices
live to such old ages it is a remarkable fact
that they do is simply because they dress
for dinnejr."
"What on earth can dress suits have to do
with longevity V
"Simply this: Just suppose you've b3eu
harassed and worried by a hard day's work
I don't mean to say that statesmen and
barristers invariably are and tnat you've
got to dress for dinner. The consequence
is, you can't precipitate yonrself on your
food and partake of it while in the state of
annoyance which render disgestion out of
the question. You're oblige t to deliberately
fix studs in your sbirt there's nothing re
quires more self-possession than that
wrestle with a collar, and don your black
garments. By the time you're at tire .1
you've probably forgotten half of your
grievances and are reaiy to receive nourish
ment. Ergo, ycu are benefited by your
change of clothes."
"Still, the custom is going out somewhat,
is it notF
"I grieve to say that owing to the perni
cious example of the English members of par
liament it is losing ground. Just think!
Lord Randolph Churchill and one or two
others are the only members who still adhere
to the custom. What England will come to
I don't know. I don't care either, except so
far as America is concerned, and it will af

it will be a terrible day for refinement and

"I am worked to death," said an engraver
yesterday. "Worked to death making but
tons of gold dollars w,th the owner's mono

of dozen sue! buttons for a leading actress
not long ago. The initials were cut deeply
in the gold dollar, then enameled, the whole
job coming to $100. Very few can afford
such expensive buttons. For the ordinary
monogram, we generally use 10-cent pieces.
They are smoothed, the monogram engraved
on one side, and some fancy ligure on the
other. The figures are of all sorts, fcuui
bull-dogs to Greek gods. I made two com

The sailor sat ou a reclining cow, an 1 the

a young lady, repressnte 1 a jackass, a mon

"Several days ago I made one still more
peculiar. It represented a fat man sleeping
on a sofa. Huge pieces of cheese and pie,
with spider legs and skeleton heads, ran over

for jokes. Still some people seriously order
incongruous designs, and chuckle over
the originality of their conceptions, and re

House Drainage.
Hall's Journal of Health.
There is a common mistake regarding
house drains that they are made too large.
It is incorrect to suppose that a very large
drain is safer than one of moderate size- be
cause the smaller the drain the moro con
centrated the flow, and the rnorp thorough
the flushing when larger amounts of water
than usual are passed through it; as on wash
ing days. It may be taken as a rule that no
private hous, no matter how large, can need
for its drainage, a pipo larger than four
inches.

THE TROUBLE TO COME
Unleas ltlch and Poor Learn to He
speet Kaeh Other Store.
Joaquin Miller's Letter.
In the city of New York, however,
there ii sign of serious trouble ahead.
But it is such that an army could no
more compass thau in Paris. I have
made my home both in Belleville, Paris,
and the liowery, New York. They are
much alike in elements of destruction.
I remonstrated with a " communist, a
workingman, during the excitement of
the siege. "What," said I, "would you
burn Paris?" With hand thrown
wildly in the air, he replied : "Monsieur,
we built Paris; we will barn Paris."
The French, only after Paris w s in
ashes, saw their error. Gambetta had
outgrown his Belleville "and left its
fierce spirit of strife, it3 hatred of the
rich, its misery, hunger, madness, be
hind him. But Belleville remained the
same, bided its time, and burned Paris.
And yet this Belleville was compara
tively but a small place.
Bijt in New York the whole populace
and packed lower half of the island is
given up to poverty, to toil, tenen:ent
houses, to misery and crime, a was
that one little place in Paris. There
are a million of the poor, the miserable,
set apart by themselves in the lower
part of the island. There are ft thou
sand of the rich, the luxurious and
happy on the other end. This unfortu
nate division will tome day be fatal.
"The people, the poor and the rich,"
said Gambetta, "should dwell together
and learn to respect and love each
other."
He said this after the most terrible
lesson that fire and blood ever taught
But it is a lesson Wuich is being en
tirely lost on Americans. Of course
there are many rich, people and many
noble, peace-loving people in the lower
endofisew York; and there are a few
laborers at the upper end. But the
mixture is s ight. And any one who
studied even so small and peaceful a
thing as the freight-handlers istrike
last year, can clearly read between
the lines much that I have not space to
set down.
Unless the rich and the poor melt
more together and come to know and
respect each other more, there must be
tremendous trouble in that cty soon,
whose rich despise the poor and the
poor in return bitterly hate the rich.
I undertake to say that a modern
prophet might rise up and without
much risk to his reputation, proclaim
it in the streets that the ambitious billy
goat shall some day soon nibble the
grasses from the blackened ruins of
.Filth avenue. And as indicated before,
all the armies of "a strong government,"
when the day of destruction comes,
will be laughed at just as they were in
Paris.
No, trust the people with your prop
erty, your money, your liberty and your
life. Treat the people justly, and the
people will not betray, you. "We the
people;" "this government of the peo
ple, by the people, and for the people."

The ravr of Washington' Slothrr.
l"Cu-tis" in Inter Ocean.
Gen. Casey ha3 just returned from
Westmoreland county, Virginia, where
he went to make the necessary arrange
ments for the monument to be erected
at the birthplace of Washington, and
Congressman Wise, of Virginia, now
proposes to seenre an appropriation
from congress to erect a memorial
tablet upon the grave of Washington's
mother, wbich is now in a lamentable
state of neglect and decay. The grave,
which is in n old cemetery a few. miles
below Fredericksburg is covered w ith
a pedestal which was placed there
by a Jew York " gentleman thirty
or forty years ago. He intended to
complete the monument, but lost all
his money before it was finished. There
now lies at the foot of the pedestal,
hidden by rank weeds, a shaft of un
dressed marble, with simple marks
where the work was stopped. The
grave is surrounded by a wire fence,
but that is all the attention that ever
was paid to it. I think the state of
Virginia ought to have patriotism
enough to put this sacred place in
order ; but as it has not, congress can
well afford to reduce the surplus in the
treasury by a few thousands to mark a
historical spot and honor a noble wo
man's memory.
I met an old gentleman from Freder
icksburg the other day, and asked him if
there were any people residing there
whose memories went back far enough
to recall the Washingtons. He said
there were plenty of remin"seences in
the neighborhood, but they had been
handed down from past generations,
for the oldest inhabitant was not born
when the family had gone to their
graves. Washington's father, he said,
was not given a very high character in
the local legendary lore, for he never
amouuted to a great deal, and died
young, leaving his wife a heavily mort
gaged farm and a large family of chil
dren. Mary Washington, or "Mother
Washington." as they all call her, was
a womajjr of uoble characteristics, and
her memory was very much revered.
After her husband's death she lived in
a little house on the outskirts of the
town, which is now occupied by the vil
lage watchmaker, but is in the last
stages of decay. Here she died, and
the room in which she breathed her
last is still shown to the few visitors
who come that way.
A Land of Cripples.
Croffut's Letter.
I have never elsewhere met so many
cripples of all sorts as one sees in
Mexico; lame and with gnarled arms;
blind or of imperfect vision. But the
Abbe Clavigero, one of the oarly
priests, said of the Aztecs : "There is
scarcely a nationon eurth where there
are fewer deformed persons ; it would
be more difficult to find a single hump
back, lame or squint-eyed man among
1,000 Mexicans, than among 100 of any
other people." Indeed cripples wore
so rare that Montezuma set up a
museum of the few in the country as an
exhibition, and the number was so
small that some parents mutilated their
children's comely proportions so that
they might be eligible, and thus sup
port their parents in luxury. Alas ! the
diseases of the Spaniards, spreading
from generation to generation, have
made cripples no longer a marvel, and
some of the beggars that crouch along
the cathedrals to-day have almost lost
all semblance of the human form.

Chariei Heads as a Worker.
New York Tribune.
Charles Beade was a very methodical
worker, and neglected no helps. It was
his habit to form scrap-books contain
ing whatever strange, new or startling
eveats or stories appeared in the daily
press, and of these books, which he
called his "brains," he had accumu
lated a formidable number. Believing
as he did that an author U entitled to
appropriate matter wherever he finds
it, provided that he adapts it, it is not
remarkable that he should several times
have been charged with plagiarism, nor
that in some of these instances his de
fense should have been rather adroit
than satisfactory.
Ho possessed a fertility of invention
which male him independent of ex
traneous assistance, however, and his
original work will bear comparison
with the strongest in English fiction,
either past or present. He has been
charged with inordinate vanity. The
truth doubtless is that he was aware of
his own ability, and did not hypocritic
ally depreciate it. That he posseisad
a most sterling character is certain. He
was ever ready to defend the oppressed,
careless of the odds, and with a fire and
energy which nothing could restrain.
His hand was always open to a pitiful
tale, and the many authentic stories of
his benevolence show him to have had
a knightly and tender heart.
The Plteh-PIue Industry. '
"1L Quad's" Georgia Letter.
That curious industry the extract
ing of oil and turpentine from pine by
distillation is represented in Augusta.
Five cords of fat pine are used in the
kiln or oven at a single charge. This
charge is smothered, the same as if in
tended for charcoal. The first result is
a qualttjr of turpentine as clear as crys
tal. The second is turpentine oil, pure
and unadulterated. The third is a
liquid resembling tar, but much thinner
and having a pleasant odor. Three or
four drops of this on a bit of sugar will
cure an ordinary sore throat in an hour,
and instantly relieve hoarseness or
ticki ng in the throat. It is largely
used south for both man and; beast, and
most people regard it as a sure cure for
vert bin g except a broken ne-'k. The
fourth result is a mixture largely used
by gravel-roofers, and to some extent
by painters. It is not only water-proof,
but a great preservative. The fifth and
last result is a mass of the cleanest and
purest charcoal which t an be produced
in any known manner. The cost oi
operating these works is very slight,
while there is a steadily increasing de
man J for the products at a fair proiit.
A Turtle of Xotr.
A correspondent writing from Nor

1840 A. It. Warner, of Guilford, while
walking through a meaiow in Unaville

shell of the turtle showed the marks
where initials and date had been cut in
it, but the initials of one person only
and the date on which they had been
carved could ba made out E. R. J.,
1835. Mr. Warner cut A. R. W., 1840,
iu the shell and released the turtle. In
1880 the turtle was discovered in the
same locality by some boys. 'Ihe 4E.
R. J.. 1835 and 'A. R. W., 18i0,'
were still very distinct. In (addition
were H. J. H., 1870,' E. B., 1875,' and
S. D. A., 1880.' The turtle was again
turned loose. A few days ago it was
found again in the field where it was
seen in 1840 by Mr. Warner. No addi

sends us a report, which we give, showing
a prompt arrest of the disease and a rapid

"Your Home Treatment was duly re

commenced its use, stopping all other
treatment. The results are marvelous in
deed. She says that she feels nearly well,
except that she has some cough yet. You
will see by reference to my former letter
that she had a very bad train of symp
toms. Two physicians whom I called to
see her pronounced it a case of Tubercu
losis, and gave it as their opinion that
she could not recover. She had a cough
for a year; was very hoarse; had a severe
pain in right side; chill for last txco
months, with night sweats, emaciation,
weakness, and loss of appetite, and ner
vousness; could not sleep at night; pulse a

Style at the White flonse.
F Washington Cor. Cincinnati Enquirer.
While I was in Washington I went
through a portion of the executive man
sion which I have not seen ' for the past
two or three years. It has been re
furnished according to the prevailing
style by Tiffany and other i imitators of
what is gbing on in Europe. The east
room is now a kind of silver and gold
room, and it has only two portraits in
it Gen. Washington, by Stewart, and
Mrs. Washington, byAndrfews. In the
long corridor, which connects the east
room with the staircase and bisects the
lower floor, I looked at the portraits of
the presidents, and it seemed to me
that the best of them was that cf Gar
field. The artist has made the light
shine on his forehead so as to bring out
his intellectual nature strenzly and
also to give a kind of tender halo to his
eye expressive of that almost feminine
sensibility he had.
A number of women
were gomg
through the apartments with tne man
servant, and I was struck with the
want of refinement and delicacy
among these, and it seemed to me that
the older the women were the more
crotchety and disagreeable were their
remarks. There was one old woman
who seemed to think that the White
House and its treasures were designed
to illustrate her private biography.
She would look up to the portrait of
Hayes and say: "Who is that?"
"President Hayes," replied the custo
dian. "I never seen i him. Who
is this man?" "That jis President
Pierce." "Yes, I seen him once."
PRESIDENTIAL FAVORITES.
Home Interesting: Facts Concerning
the 311 on who Stand Closest to
the Chief Executive.
Visitors who, from curiosity or business,
have called at the White House, must
have been impressed by the courteous
yet systematic manner with which they
were received and escorted through the
mansion. The gentlemen whose duty it
is to receive all persons coming to the
White House are Colonel E. S. Denmore,
Mr. John T. Rickard and Mr. T. P. Pen
del, and they have occupied their present
positions through the various administra
tions since and even during the war. Mr.
Pendel was President Lincoln's body
guard; saw him to his carriage the fatal
night on which he visited Ford's theater,
and he now has in his possession the
blood-stained coat which Mr. Lincoln
wore on that memorable occasion. There
Is not a public man in America to-day who
does not know, and who is not known by,
these gentlemen, and the reminiscences of
public and social b'fe which they can re
count would fill a congressional volume.
During the weary vet exciting years of the
war; through the more peaceful times of
Grant's administration; while Hayes held
the reins of government, and when Gar
field was shot, It was these men who stood
ia the executive mansion, welcoming the
advent of each new administration, bow
ing at its departure, and receiving both
martyrs through its portals.
During that long, hot and never to be
forgotten summer when President Gar
field lay between "two worlds," the na
tion became aware of the deadly malarial
influence which hung about the White
House. But all through that period these
three men never deserted their posts for a
single day, although each one was suffer
ing intensely. In conversation with the
writer. Colonel Densmore said: ,
"It is impossible to describe the tortures
I have undergone. To be compelled to
smile and treat the thousands of visitors
who come here daily with courtesy when
one is in the greatest agony requires
a tremendous effort. All that summer I
had terrible headaches, heart-burn and a
stilling sensation that sometimes took
away my breath. My appetite was uncer
tain and I felt severe pains in the small of
my back. I was under the doctor's care
with strict instructions not to go out of
the house, but I remained on duty never
theless. You would be surprised to know
the amount of quinine I took; on some
davs it was as much as sixteen grains."
"And was Mr. Rickard badly on, too?"
"I should think he was. Why, time and
again we have picked him up and laid him
on the mantel here in the vestibule, he
was so used up."
"Yes," exclaimed Mr. Rickard, "I was
so weak I could not rise after lying down
without help, and could only walk with
the aid of two canes, and then in a stoop
ing position. Oh, we have been in a pretty
bad condition here, all of us."
"And yet you are all the embodiment of
health," said the writer, as he looked at
the three bright and vigorous men before
him.
"Oh, yes," said Mr. Rickard, "we have
not known what sickness was for more
than a year."
"Have you some secret way of overcom
ing malaria and its attendant horrors."
"I think we have a most certain way,"
replied Colonel Densmore, "but it is no se
cret. You see, about two years ago my
wife began to . grow blind, and I was
alarmed at her condition. She finally be
came so she could not tell whether a per
son were white or black at a distance of
ten feet. One of her lady friends advised
her to try a certain treatment that had
done wonders for her. and to make a long
story short, she did so and was completely
cured. This induced me to try the same
means for my own restoration and as soon
as I found it was doing me good I recom
mended it to my associates and we have
all been cured right here in the stronghold
of malaria and kept in perfect health ever
since by means ef Warner's Safe Cure.
Now I am not a believer in medicines in
general, but I do not hesitate to say that
I am satisfied that I should have died of
Bright's disease of the kidneys before this
had it not been for this wonderful remedy.
Indeed, I use it as a household medicine
and give it to my children whenever they
have any ailments."
"Yes, exclaimed Mr. Pendel, "I use it
in my family all the while and have found
it the most efficient remedy we have ever
employed. I know of very many public
men who are using it to-day and they all
speak well of it."
"I weigh 160 pounds to-day," said Mr.
Rickard, "and when my physician told me
over a year ago I could not hope to recover
I weighed 122 pounds. Under such Influ
ences you cannot wonder that I consider
this the best medicine before the Ameri
can people."
The above statements from these gentle
men need no comments. They are volun

sources which are the highest in the land.
Were there the slightest question regard

A very singular fact has been ob

shape of the nose as to the sefting ol

strictly correct , from the artist's point
of view, the nose should be accurately
in Ihe middle of the face, and at right
angles with a line from the pupil of one
eye to that of the other. As a matter
of fact it is rarely or never found thus
placed. It is almost invariably a little
out of "the square," and the fact of its
being so is often that which lends a
peculiar expression and piquancy to the

there are anatomical reasons why a

line may be expected, and that the nose
which is thus accurately straight be

"For two years I had been suffering from

with pain and palpitation of the heart,
impaired digestion, loss of appetite,

my family and friends thought would
prove fatal. To alleviate my suffering I
took laudanum by the spoonful. Most of
the time I was confined to my bed and was
rarely able to get about the house. My

Many members of the Hay Fever Association
of New England, hava used Papillon Catarrh.
Cure with remarkable results. We hava nu
merous testimonials testifying to its efficacy.
Its curative powers are so positive, and the ef
fect of its use so pleasing, that when onoe used,
it is ever used. Unlike every other Hay Favut
Remedy, it is not a temporary relief, but a
permanent cure. No change of climate Is
necessary when this remedy is used. It stops
the snuffles, the sneezing and the watery eyea.
It permits breathing through the nostrihs and
cures the inflammation. Any one wishing pos
itive evidence from the many who have and
are recommending this remedy, can procure a
list of testimonials by sending us their address
by postal card. '
A prominent reporter on the staflr of the Chi
cago "Tribune" says: "Papillon Catarrh Cure
has saved me hundreds of dollars in expenses,
and months of time."
Mr. J. C. Kmmons. Attorney, Macomb, UL,
says: "I have had more relief from one dose
of Papillon Catarrh Cure than from all othor
Hay Fever Remedies I ever tried: it cured
me at once. I traveled among rag weeds dur
ing hay fever time, without a recurrence."
It is not a new remedy; it has been in use for
nearly ten years, and never fails to cure Ca
TARkit. Rose Cold and Hay Fever. Use ti
by insufflation or with an atomiser, or any
other war that will reach the seat of the dis
ease; it cures by healing the Inflamed mem-
the disease.
