The Secret of Long Life.
Simon Cameron is about the only
man I have ever known to quit pub
lic life whil.e ho was still able to
deal with the world. It has been
something more than ten years
since he went out of the Senate and
voluntarily retired to Ids country
home to spend the rest of his days
in enjoying the best pleasures of
old age. He lias travelled eight or
ten thousand miles a year since,
and devoted himself to his friends
to and his own comfort. He loves
young company. In health, spirit,
and ambition he is not over forty,
although lie is Turning eighty-six.
He seeks men of his spirit and
with blood warm enough to make
them seethe rosy side of life. Ho
hasn’t a single characteristic of an
old man about him, and I have oft
en heard 1dm say:
‘-The secret of life is to keep mov
ing. Men grow old only when they
sit down long enough to get rusty.
I want to live just as long ns 1 can
be happy. When I reach the point
when my friends, standing on the
corners and seeing me come up the
street, say. ‘Lot’s got on the other
| The Adjournment of the Legislature.
The Legislature, it is expected,
will adjourn Saturday to meet next
July: Not very much has been ac
complished, and it is not 1 probable
that much would be if the session
were to continue several weeks lon
ger. The members want to get
•home to attend to their private af
fairs, and when they are influenced
by that sort of feeling it is not to be
expected that they will give that
close attention to public business
that it ought to have. ___
The important
The Sham and the Real.
Every good thing has its host of
imitators; every genuine article its
counterfeits. Bad manners and
wicked habits have theirs also; but
he who shams the bail never boasts
of It, while they who ape the vir
tues of the good or simulate the gen-:
uine never hesitate to place coun-
terfit before the public in their most
alluring tones. When these people
imitate they always chooso a pro
nounced type or popular subject to
copy from; and when they claim
The Story of a Senator.
When Nesmith was elected to
the U. 8. Senate from Oregon, in
the early part of the war, he had
never been in Washington; never
been east of theBoeky Mountains,
in fact, since he emigrated as a boy
to the Pacific slope to seek his fort
une. He had never 3een a railroad
or a locomotive until he struck the
Panama road at the Isthmus, and,
as he described himself, was as
“green as a squash.” Upon reach
ing Washington, being too bashful
to present his credentials and be
sworn in at once, he spent a day or
two looking down upon that distin
guished body from a seat in the gal
lery, so as to get the hang of things
a little before he ventured on the;
floor. TIis diffidence wore off after
a little, and his great fund of ,nnee-
doteo, his fine vein of humor, his
frontier frankness and originality
of character and manner, drew
around him warm friends of both
parties. Standing one day in a
group of Senators who had been
questioning him concerning his ad
venturous life, Senator Wilson of
Massachusetts, said: “I understand
Senator, that you had . never
seen a railroad until you came
East, and that everything of that

Wind (he Declaration of Inde
pendence says about Hie rights of
men was designed. Mr. Collyor
went on to say, to apply equally to
the rights of women and children.
Under it children had rights that
the home and the Church were
uound to respect. The first of those
rights was the birthright claim to
the wisest and very best training
the parent could give. The young
who are approaching manhood and
womanhood should see to it that
their own lives are pure and right
eous before they dare to assume
those duties of manhood and wo
manhood which include the sacred
duty of training the child. They
must recognize the g-*oat value of a
sound body as a primal element in
insuring to their children that
sound health which will form a
sound basis upon which to train
up ajuseful and active existence. It
is a right of the child to have its
natural tendency to run counter to
the laws of diet corrected by the pa
rent, and to have the lesson enforc
ed that it has no right to make an
invalid of itself by such disregard
of the rules of health.
Another right that children have
is to enjoy proper rest and recrea
tion, and still another and all im
portant right is is have the parent
answer, tenderly - and conscienti
ously, and with the best knowi-
edso, those 'questions which the
young ask when their awakened
minds begin to 'grapple with the
questions of life and eternity

The following from the Atlanta
Journal wo heartily indorse.
Some of our legislative Solo us
took high grounds in favor of the
circus during the debate on tho tax
bill. They held this perambula
ting institution as leading the
march of social and political recon
struction, and asserted that the cir
cus is a “civilizer.”
Surely the fall of bathos can no
deeper go. If the circulating nuis
ance known as a “circus,” with its
tawdry ' trappings, a few well-fed
horses, a few score of ill-fed, hag
gard performers, aniV'a half dozen
cages of wild animals tamed by
starvation and abuse to the docility
of kittens, be a “civilizer” we have
for many a year failed to comphe-
hend the meaning of civilization.
We know only that good people
thank their stars when the concern
moves off to afflict some other com
munity with its demoralizing pres
ence, that it “scoops up” and whirls
off with it all the spare currency
within a radius ten miles like a cy
clone, and that it brings with it a
hungry horde of thugs, thieves,
blacklegs and others of that ilk,
who put in their work with unction
and success wherever they go with
the circus. To this extent we think
the institution is a “civilizer.”

To render poultry raising very

should produce most of the food
they consume. lie should keep
them as the stock-raiser does cattle,
sheep and pigs, chiefly for the pur
pose of converting grain and other
products of the soil into articles
that car. be sent to market at small
cost. Comparatively few farmers in
this country have ever experimen
ted to ascertain whether it was
more profitable to I grain to.
fowls than to animals. The farmers
of France have become convinced
that grain can bo fed to fowls to
greater profit than the animals in
tended for the production of meat.
Americau farmers generally look
upon poultry raising as very small
business. No business that is ben
eficial to the community and is at
the same time remunerative should
be despised.
