Presence of mind is always uu as set. It is especially valuable in pres ence of danger such as springs from the presence of men intent upon mur der. This was never better exempli fied than when a gang of men set out to take the life of Mazzinl. He got to hear of their project. All the precau tions he took was to get ready a store of very excellent cigars. The rutliaus presently appeared at his address. “Come in, gentlemen.” he said and produced his cigars. To each man he handed one. Tukeu aback at their reception, they seemed abashed and contused. ”1 know that you came to kill me,’’ he said. "Why do you not proceed to your task7” This was too much for even this bloodthirsty depu tation. They could not kill the man whose cigars they were smoking and who invited them to carry om their task. Muttering some excuse fc hav ing interrupted his studies, they shuf fled out of the room and troubled him no more. Each man has his own method with would be assassins. With Napoleon it was the eye which counted. While he was visiting the Duke of Saxe Co burg Gotha one of the duke's retainer- made up his mind to slay uim. He had so frequently heard the great man denounced as the curse of Europe that he felt Impelled to seize the chance to destroy him. He was a common sol dier at the time and had to do sentry duty in one of the corridors of the pal ace along which Napoleon passed. lie put Ids Huger to the trigger as the duke, accompanied by Napoleon, drew in sight. He aimed for Napoleon's heart. Napoleon saw him. He said nothing, but simply fixed ills eagle eye upon the youth. The latter seemed spellbound. He let the musket fall with a crash to the floor of the stone corridor. He felt, he said, as if lie must have swooned. Napoleon took uo further notice, said no word, pass ed upon lys way as if nothing had hap pened. That one Hashing glance bad saved Ids life. He knew its effect and value. St. .lames' Gazette. H e Turned the Laugh. (Leslie's Weekly.) An orator who was equal to an emergency was the late Geo. A Sher idan. who was a noted "spell-binder often engaged by the Republican national committee. At a big meet ing he was addressing i na town near New York he was introduced by a Mr. O'Brien, the chairman, in most flattering terms. In order to redo- rocate Mr. Sheridan paid a glowing tribute to the sterling qualities of the chairman and wound up the eulogy by asserting that no man could say Mr. O'Brien owed hi ma cent. “Ho owes me came a keen Geltic voice from the rear of the an dience. It was almost a solar plexus blow for the orator, and the audience start ed to laugh and jeer. Rallying, the speaker said: “Don’t be alarmed, good firen-ts. 1 will answer that man pres ently.” This assertion was to gain time and if possible have the audi ence forget the incident But again that penetrating voice cried out: “He owes me $3 cold cash!” Advancing to the edge <>f the plat form, General Sheridan, in a confi dential tone, said: "Yes. 1 know all about the $•>, for my friend. Mr O'Brien, has given facts. Ladies and truth is simply this i iecu 1 iar cha rac ter: has interrupted me recently and asked o e $10.

LANGUAGE EVOLUTION. l*e of Ihe SnlUv In \ «*rbs. Non■■ N mill \ilji-<-l it •-«. Many will remember that some years ago there went on a violent coni re versy about the word tireless. Tie- discovery hud been made that "less'' was a sullix which could properly be appended only to nouns; lienee the form must be discarded, and we must all take pains to say untiring. The duty of so doing was preached from scores of professional and newspaper pulpits. No one seemed to think or care for the various other adjectives similarly formed and tl**refore liable to the similar censure which they never ncehed. Hostility was direct ed aga.nst it alone. The actual flaw which vitiated the arguments against tireless its cchm»i\s never knew or took into consideration. This was that the fancied rule covering the creation of such words had |.radically long ceased to he operativ e whenever a new forma tion struck the sense of the users of laugunge us being desirable. ITnpiesti mably in our earliest speech the snliix "less" wheu employed to form adjectives was joined only with iioiius. But the general sloughing off of uomiual and verbal endings which went on iu later centuries reduced a great proportion of substantives and verbs iu the speech to precisely the same form. Iu consequence the sense of any fundamental distinction be tween the two broke down in many ways in one way in particular. There is nothing easier in our speech than to convert a verb into a noun or a noun into a verb. It is a process which lias taken place constantly iu the past and is liable to take place at any time in the future, either at the will or the whim of the writer or speaker.— Thomas R. Lotmslmry in Harper's. handing tin* monev to him. Now this man is going around saying my friend, the honorable chairman, owes him $3 because he could lend him only $7 when ten were requested." A roar of laughter filled the liali. and th<* indignant man tried to answer tin* orator. He was howled down. The chairman whispered in General Slier idan’s ear: “You have saved me. You are a genius.” What Did She Mean? A philanthropic person, says Har per’s Magazine, heard of a negro family that was reported in destitute circumstances, and. calling at their home, found the report true. The family consisted of a mother, a son nearing manhood’s estate and two young children. Tiie benevolent old gentleman, after hearing the mother's story, gave the oldest son $1 to get a chicken for ill ■ Tnanks- givin r dinner, and tool; ins dr parture. No sooner was lie gone than tile ne- gress said to her son: "Sarnho, yon gin me dat doilaii. go g<-t dat chicken in de n.iichr.il wav." !■ It n IJiul ’l inn- to Aii|iron<'li a Mna on Hum:neHN f “Come in and see me Monday morn ing and we'll talk it over," said Gass- away, but Binks replied: “Couldn’t y «u make it Tuesday morn ing or Monday afternoon?” So it was arranged for Tuesday morn- lug.

When the clock went off you were miserable about rising, and when you did get up you were ugly to everybody. It’s the same way with all of us. We rest too hard Sundays.

The city 'f New Orleans has just commenced a great system of drain aep and sewerage at a cost of $24,- 000,000 to carry off the flood waters which formerly overran the streets and to get rid of the surface sewer age which fi led the gutters with dis ease-breeding filth and corruption. The task was a Hgantic one. hut the enterprising citizens of the Southern metrooolis cheerfully gave their time and talents without charge and taxed themselves millions of dollars to ae eomnlish it. and now they feel well I •M'l in having laid a broad and se cure foundation for health and com fort in the future. There was bitter determined oppo sition in New Orleans to the propos el benefit. The drainage and sew erage plan was a gr at innovation up on the system that prevailed in that citv for two centuries, without a sin ' gie sewer and with dirt ditch.es for gutters. There were plenty of knock ers and objectors to say that the old was gotxl enough, and there were many political grandstanders wf:o sought to 'make raintal for them selves by ostensibly standing up for the people. Physicians were loud in saving that the surface system of drainage and sewerage was best, for the reason that light and air were na ture’s disenfectants and that under groniui mains in teat damp climate could not fail to bring a train of dis ease and death. Besides these objections coming from some of tiie oldest and most trusted medical scientists, * there were engineering "Xperts who main tabled that the !!'••>• scheme was >ractmaldo and would undermine the foundations of tiie town by concen trating the flood wat rs in too narrow limbs from which thev would over flow with ruinous destructiveness. There were also not a few nronerty- owners who feared that their proper ty would injured or who were too s nail minded and stingy to he wi l- bear their Dart of the exoense. >'■“! taeioss. tiie public spiri’ of c-.i.. v creva i.-d and now, after ton .•ears of natienl and persistent on- a d obstacles have beep over come and New Orleans is on the hieJi 1 a ' to the nrosperity and snl mdid dey< ii.p:-' ip to which her natural Catarrh Is a constitutional disease originating in impure blood and requiring constitutional treatment acting through and purifying the blood for its radical and permanent cure.
