Bill Arp s Philosophy.
Let's enjoy every good thing that
happens and be thankful. Rejoice
in Ihe piesentgood, lor we know not
wbat the future may be, Ido
abominate this way most people
have of hankering afier something
they have'nt got, and the more they
have'ut got n thing the worse they
want it. They are always dealing
in ‘futures. 1 and when the future
cornea they can't, realize. Why not
deal in ‘shorts and bo content with
small margins. When a man or a
woman or anybody else gets tip in
the morning they ought to bo happy
for the ‘git up,‘ and because thoy
are not sick, and if they have got a
goott sort of breakfast and a dtp of
clear coffee they onght to bo happy
for that. Mow this here slop cof
fee like you got at country hotels
don't justify anybody iu feeling hap
py or grateful—so I excuse 'em.
But if a man gets up reasonably
well and has a] reasonable break
fast, there is no reason why he
shouldn't bo reasonably happy all
that day—that is, unless his wife is
sick. Of course, if his wife is sick
he is bound to bo miserable. It's
bis d,.ty—it‘s expected of him. I
wish people would get in a habit of
enjoying tho present, and let the in
ture look out for itself. Enjoy evory
day—we can't afford to bo cheated
out of nil hour. Wtftt a splendid
day wns Saturday when we were
boys, what a good, long, happy day,
wo were allowed to frolic, and w e
went fishing, or seining, or hunt
ing, or picking chinquepins, or top.
ping trees for chestnuts, or 'getting
muskedines, or walnuts, or dewber
ries, or may pops, or watermelons,
and we were so gay and happy.
I've never been as happy since,
though my grown up pleasures may
have been a little more refined.
Temperance-
Tlio Kansas temperance execu
tive c nnmitleo have issued an ad
dress congratulating tho people of
the Stale upon the progress of the
temperance oauso. They say: “By
the votes of her citizens, by the de
cision of her supremo couri, and by
the action ol her legislature, Kan
sas lias declared herself forever free
from all partnership in the traffic
of intoxicating liq.i >rs. and now
leads the world in the effort to sup
press by constitutional law the
great scourge of the nations. On
ly by a prompt and vigorous eu
-1 rcement of the laws can we have
a right to lioll the p >st of honor in
the great warfare with intemper
ance. The passage of tho amend
ment has been followed by tho en
actment of a law that is stringent
in its provisions. It is noteworthy
that this law passed the legislature
hy r a large majority. The vote in
the senate was thirty-two to seven,
and iu tue house 100 to tweuiy
three, thus giving a majority iu
both houses ol more than four to
one.
♦
Right and Loft-
It ought to be a pmt of the exer
cises in every well regiilated .School >
especially of colleges where calee
thenics are daily performed,to learn
children liow tc use the left hand
with equal expertness as Iho right.
All persons are liable to accidents
by which the right arm may be die
abled lor mouths, and even for life,
and if the left was ready to do its
work us well as the right, much
time and inconvenience might be
saved. Then, again, it may appear
a small mutter to some but it really
is an important one: Before silver
forks came to bo used so commonly
us they now are, it was not thought
improper to eat at the table with
the knife, and only tho right hand
was employed, but now .the left
holds tho fork and tho food is eaten
with it. Very few people can use
the folk in the left hand gracefully,
and it is boorish to put dowu your
knife uud change the fork to the
right hand. Let our children be
early taught to Use tho lett hand
auibi -dexterously.
Senator Brown a Leader-
New York Trbiuno.
It is sad to see Senator Brown
preferring the pleasures of sin for a
season—or, in other words choos
ing rather to he the leader of the
democratic side of the senate than
take his place in the movement for
the political regeneration of the
South, where he naturally belongs.
But it is something to have a lively
democrat in the United Stales sen
ate, and Mr Brown fulfills that
function. Ilia democratic coilea,
gnes as a n.le have a strong reaera*
blance, intellectually, to wax works.
A man who is as true as steel
posiessing an iron will, some g*>ld,
and a fair proportion of brass,
should be able to endure the hard
ware of the world.
Wise and Otherwise-
Tunis, the garden of Africa, was
last week formally annexed to A1
geria, which is far from fertile. The
two combined will constitute a pros
perous colony, and prove perhaps
the beginning of a French empire
on the south sido of the Mediter
ranean.
Dr Henry Hull, a prominent citi
zen ol Athens, Ga., died there May

Tho United States has moie

Russia is tho second nation on tho

It is remarked that President

A mechanic ill Schofuld's Irou

Time and Tide are the namos of a

There are about 17,000 locomo

all kinds.
Money does everything for a
Rian, said an old gentleman, pom
pously. “Yes," replied the other
man, “but money won't do as much
for a man as some rnon will do tor
money."
“When I was a young man,"
says the philosopher Billings, I wag
always in a hurry to to hold the
big end of tho log and do all the
lifting, now I am older I seize hold
of the small end and do all tho
grunting.
At a alone quarry in the east the

What next ?
Jay Gould's income is said to bo

The Romo Courier says: “We
have heard since the decision of the
Supreme Court on the Bunk of
Rome caso that tho assets ol the
bank will lack SIO,OOO paying the
State's prior lien, uud that the de
positors will be assessed to make up
this deficiency. ‘‘
The Post-Appeal thinks there is
a “bank ring" in Georgia formed
to get hold of the and use without
interest as much of the St ,te mon
ey as possible. And not only that,
but to encourage tho levying ol un
necessarily heavy taxes to order to
have large surplusaes in these de
positories.
Immigrants are pouring into the
country through New York at tho
rate of 18,000 a week. The, money

The Philadelphia Weekly Mag.
axino for Saturday, March 3, 1798,
has tho following remarkable death
notice: At Now London (Con
necticut), Mr John Weeks. aged
114. When 106 he married his
tenth wife, who was only 16. Ilia
<rray hairs hud fallen off, and were
renewed by a dark head of hair.
A now set of teeth had m;-do their
appearance, and tie ate three pouuds
of pork, two or three pounds of

A Northern paper says: When
York, Pa , was in the possesion of
the Confederates, Gen Kearly, who
commanded, levied a contribution
of SIOO,OOO upon the oity. As
nearly all the ready cash had been
removed before be arrived, he ooly
got $30,000. So confident was be
of the success of tho campaign in
which be was cugaved that he took
the bonds of the corporation officers
for the additional $70,000 In view
of the result of the battle, Juba!
has been too moUest to present the
bonds for paymeni.
li those bonds should be present
ed and payment-refused, would it
be “repudiation" or readjustment?
