The editor of the Providence Jour

land's book that "the ultimate judg
ment upon it moat inevitably be that
there ie little in it worth the saying
and still lees thetis said well." Mean

The clerk of the house of rep re .
: eentatives says that from the present
indications there will be fewer con
tested election cases before the next j
Congress than there have been before
any Congress for forty years. There
will not be more than four, and prob
ably not more than three.

"In the new Bible that pa brought

that what is meant by the revised

A GOOD MOTHER.-"One good
mother," eays George Herbert, "is
worth a hundred schoolmasters. In
' the home she is loadstone to all hearts
and loadstar to all eyes." Imitation
of her is constant-imitation which
Bacon likens to aj'globe of precepts.'
It is instruction, it is teaching without
worda/olten exemplifying more than
-teague can teach. In the face of bad
example the best precepts are of but*
little avail. The example is followed,
- not the precepts. Indeed, precept at
variance with practice is worse than
useless, inasmuch as it only serves to
teach that most cowardly of vices
hypocrisy.
Kev. Sam Jones charged the Meth
odists of Nashville with selling liquor.
An investigation proved that he waa
mistaken. The Birmingham Advo
cate hints that an investigation in Bir
mingham would prove that Mr. Jones
is not mistaken were he to apply this
charge to the Birmingham Method
ists. .When Mr. Jones sh ota oft' his
rifle anywhere in the bushes he is
sure to hit something or somebody
somewhere. By the way did the
Rev. Sam Jones make a similar charge
against any denomination in Atlanta
when he was here ? If not, why not ?
Could Atlanta, on investigation, prove
him to be mistaken as readily ae
Nashville has done ? We hope so, but,
really, who does know positively ?

THE LAUGHING PLANT.-It is call

seeds produce effects like those mad?
by laughing gas. The flowers are of
a b'^^ht y filo w, and the seed pods

lance, sing and
laugh most boisterously, cut the most
fantastic capers, and be in a very
ridiculous condition for about an
hour. When the excitement ceases
the exhausted exhibitor of these at

he has not the slightest remembrance
of his doings.
Noah's Ark and (He Great East

Will yon please tell me which wes

Noah's ark ? If the Great Eastera
was longer, wider and higher, would
not the ark hold more inside ?
F. J. MEECH.
The exact size ot Noah's ark hs s
not been determined definitely, but,
according to Sir Isaac Newton's cal
dilations, based on his estimates of j
the length of a cubit in feet and
inchon, the historical barge must have
been 525.62 feet long, 85.94 wide,
and 51.56 deep. The measured toa*
nage of the ark was 18,232. The
Great Eastern was 680 feet long, 83
feet wide, and 53 feet deep, and she
measured 28,093 tons. Although the
Great Eastern was not so well pro
portioned as the ark she probably
- had doable the carrying capacity if |

It may be only a Barlow knife

The Treasury Reserve.
Treasury officials, leferring to the
published (Statements that the treas
ury gold balance has been increased
at the expense of the legal tender
fund held for the redemption of na
tional bank notes, say that all state
ments o? this oort are untrue, and
??hat the following is the .fact: The
present administration o? the treas
ury has set apart the legal tender
fund as a trust upon which under no
circumstances encroachments will be
made, and there certainly have as
yet been none made. ?Under former
Administrations the legal tender re
serve has not been treated as a spe
cial fund and encroachments have often
been made upon it. Secretary Man
ning, however, will not permit any
deviation from the policy that the re
serve is to be held.as a sacred ftrndr
The construction given to the treasury
statements which form the foundation
of this charge ie erroneous. The bair
ance, which it is claimed contains near
ly $20,000,000 gold taken from ?the
legal tender fund, in reality contains
instead some $20.000,000 of silver?
which is reckoned against the liabili
ties of the Government which are
clearly payable in silver and which
aggregate not lesB than $30,000,000.
This fund of $20,000,000 silver is
1 $25,000,000 less than it was at times
under the- last Administration. Tak
ing this iteni-iat?^c?mmier^ it
will be seen that the $100,000,000
gold fund has been kept preserved in
tact. Treasurer Jordan is of opinion,
that the plan for the preservation of;J
the gold fund will prove effectual J
and he expects to see a continued in-ij
crease of that fund. He does not
fear compulsory silver payments, and
is of opinion that the redemption and
retirement of $11,000,000 of silver
certificates has been beneficial.
Revealing Some Family Secrets.
"Oh, dear I ob, dear !" said Julia
Hayes with a 6?gh, as she gazed at
her nineteen year old daughter, An
nie, a pretty, slender girl, at the
Tombs yesterday. "That girl will
drive me into the mad house. Her
head is gone on the cops."
"Cops, cops," queried the justice
I innocently, "what's that?"'
"Police, sir; or peelers as my
daughter calls them. When she fin
ishes her supper she says: 'I'm going
out to see if my mash is on post.' Oh,
dear I she is a dreadful girl."
"Yon haven't told meanythiug yet

" What I" exclaimed Mrs. Hayes,
"you call that nothing ? Do you no
tice the small waist she has? I'll tell
you how she gets it. She ties the
ends of her corset strings to the bed
post or the knob of the door, and
draws herself away until she can
scarcely broathe. If i remonstrate
with her she gives me all kinds of j
talk."

"Make yourself a small waist by
pulling yourself away from the bed

strings tied; and judge, eometimes
she has father to pull the end of her
corset Btriugs for her.. How would
I know if I didn't learn it from you?"
"Anuie! Oh, you"-. But MrB
Hayes stopped. She could get no
further, so enraged was she, and pies
ently she burst into tears.
'Answer your daughter's question,"
commanded the justice.
"No, no, no," she finally said
"it's all a lie. I never did such t
thing."
"Father," said the girl, beckoning
for an elderly man to come forward,
' I want you to testify in my behalf."
"Don't you dare to say a word,"
said his wife, stamping her foot.
"Henry, go home." The old man
looked bewildered.
"You can all go home," said Jus

"I think there is but little doubt
that we shall have a penny tostage
for letters," said Postmaster-General
Vilas on Tuesday morning. "I shall
recommend it in my report to Con

further reduction in letter postage.
There is no reason why thia depart
ment should be any more nearly self
sustaining than the other depart

create a deficit of a lew millions a

is rich enough to stand it."

" Yee, sah," said Uncle Zach, "I'se
watched it forty years an' its as I sez:
De fust of May an' Ohristmas day of

Further conversation proved Uncle
Zach a most incredulous person.
Chauciog to mention Dr. Carver's
feat of breaking glass balls with a
rifle, he said :
" I heerd 'bout dat shooting' and
knowed right oft' it wasn't squar' ;
dat was a Yankee trick, boes' sho's

"What was the trick ?"
"Dar wuz loadstone put into de

Later, Uncle Zach observed a rope
running along the side of the car.
"Boss, what's dat Hue fur?"
- "To apply the air-brake in case of
accident." Then we" had further to
explain how the force of the brake
was obtained, to which Uncle Zach
responded :
''"?Look ? here boss, you sholy don't

Phillip Beers, E?q., who resides at

Barthold' pedestal fund, was once
upbraided by a distinguished relative
who was a physician, for commending
in such enthusiastic terms, a remedy
that cured him of bright's disease
eight years ago. He said : "Sir, has
the medical profeeeion with all its
power and experience of thousands of
years, anything that can cure this
terrible disorder?" No, no, that is
true, there is no mistake about it but
that Warner's safe cure ?8 really a
wonderfully effective preparation.
That remedy ia an "air brake" that
every man can apply and this fact
explains why it hos saved so many
hundreds of thousands of lives.

The Story of a Robust Boy,
Willie White, a boy of seven years,
has been afflicted with scrofula ever
eince he was three months old. His
scalp was last year almost a mass of
sores. One of his eyes was perma

in huge sores. In September last he
commenced to take Swift's Specific
uuder my direction. To-day he ie a
fat, equabby, robust boy. His jaw is
well and his head is covered with a
fiue coat of hair. There is a little
dryness about the scalp. This is the
only sign of the terrible disease left.
His mother desires me to thank the
proprietors of Swift's Specific very
heartily, and says she is so grateful

AYER'S
Hair Vigor
restores, ,n'th tito gloss aud freshness ot
youth, faded or gray hair ito a natural, rich
brown color, or due? black, as may be desired,
by its lue light pr red hair may be darkened,
thin hair thickened, and baldness often,
though not always, cured.
lt checks falling of tho hair, and stimu
l?tes a weak and sickly growth to vigor. It
prevents ami cures scurf and dandruff, ana
heals neatly every disease peculiar to Ute
scalp.' As a Ladles' Hair Dressing-, the
VIGOR is unequalled ; lt contains neither oil
nor ilyo, renders the hair soft, glossy, and
silken in appearance, and imparts a delicate,
agreeable, and lasting perfume.
Mn. C. P. Biucnrti writes from Kitty, 0.,
Jiuu 3,13? : " Last fall my nair commenced
falling out, and lit a short time 1 became
nearly bald. 1 used part of a bottle of
AVKH'M HAIR Vioon, whichataoped thcfnll
.'m '. i Hfi i H m i
bave now a full ir.;a.rtjr-1ralr growing vifttr^"
o'.isiy. and am convinced that but for' the
use of your preparation 1 should have been
entirely bald."
,?l%Y;?OW.r-X> Proprietor of the .VcArthur
(Ohio) Knqturvr. says : "AVER'SHAISVIQOB
U a most excellent preparation for the bair.
1 speak of it from my own experience. lu
uso promotes tho growth of new bair, and
makes it glossy and soft. The VIGOR IS alto
a anro cure for dandruff. Not within my
knowledge has the preparation ever failed
to give mttiro satisfaction."
MR. Axons PAnrnAiB>r, leader of the
celebrated "Fairbairn Family" of Scottish
Vocalists, writes from Boston, Mast., h'tb.6
ls?O : " Kr-r since my ltair began to give sit
very cvideueo of tho change which fleeting
timo proenroth, I have used AVKK'S HAIR
\ IGOR, and so have been able to maintain
an appearance bf youthfulness-a matter of/"
considerable consequence to ministers, oral
tors, actors, and in fact every one who lives'
in the eyes of the public" " \
Mns. 0. A. PRESCOTT, writing from 18 Etta V
SK. (htirlmtoten, Mass., April U, 1882 says
" Two years ago about two-thirds of my hair '
came off. It thinned very rapidly, and 1 was t
fast growing bald. On using A Y K B's HAIR r
\ looa the falling stopped and a new growth .
commenced, and in about a month my bead
was completely covered with short hair. It
has continued to grow, and ls now as good aa
before it fell. I regularly used but one bottle
of thc \ lunn, but now usc it occasionally aa
u dressing." '
"We have hundreds of similar testimonials
to tho efficacy of AVER'S HAIR VIGOR. It
needs but a trial lo convince the most akepU
cal of its value.

A MARVELOUS STORY
TOLD IN TWO LETTERS.
FROM THE SON ?rssg&gsr
" 'Senthmen: My father resides at Glover,
V?. Ho has been a great sufferer from Scrof
ula, and tho inclosed letter will teU you what
a marvelous effect
Ayers Sarsaparilla
has had In his case. I think his blood murt__
Lave contained Ute humor for af
years ; but it did not show, except I
of a scrofulous sore on the wrist, t
five years ago. From a few spots
reared at that time, it gradually sp
to cover his entire body. I assure you !
terribly afflicted, and an object of pity,'
ho began using your medicine. Now," "

os he has. I could easily name fiftyj
who would testify to the facts In his ?
Yours truly, TT. M. BB
FROM THE FATHER:
A duty for me to state to you the benefit I
have dorivod from tho uso of
Ayers Sarsaparilla.
Six months ago I was completely covered with
a terrible humor^and scrofulous sores. The
humor caused 'in Incessant and intoleraWa
itching, and tho skin cracked so ss to cause
thc blood to flow in many places whenever
I moved. My sufferings were great, and my
life a burdon*. I commenced the use of th?
SARSAPARILLA in April last, and have used
it regularly since that time. My condition -
bogan to improve at once. The sores have
all healed, and I feel perfectly well In every
respect-being now able to do a good day's
work, although "3 years of ago. Many Inquire
what has wrought such a cure In my case, and
I tell them, as I havo here tried to teU you.
