He has pass ed the line of manhood, and should be ranked among beasts—Ex change. To the first there can be but one 'answer, an emphatic negative; to -the latter a cordial acquiescence. .The consciousness jof: having kx tedded a helping hand to a fellow being brings a pleasure incompar- .ably superior to the accomplish inent of any selfish end, however coveted. It is the reward of dis charged duty, for nothing is laic .upon, humanity with more binding force than the requirement of help ing others. The principle extends beyond •individuals and applies with una, bated force to communities, and . each of the common interests the public is involved. The man who aids and encour Ages every, enterprise in his neigh borhood by his cout finance and support; who stands' shoulder to shoulder with his fellow citizens in advocating and advancing the influence of the church, the effi- .cincy of educational facilities, the betterment of society, moral and material-interests, walks with head erect and heart cheerful in the consciousness of putting his hand in the hand of his neighbor iu ,united effort for th^benefit of his neighborhood.

One man may plan and and suggest And .theorize, may : even strike out to attain, but unas sisted be cannot achieve; in the co-operation and. support cf others depends the measure of success. Jn that co-operation alone is found the true enjoyment of American citizenship. On the other hand, even as cold- . hearted indifference to the wants and cries of humanity . brands a man as a brute, does the inactivity of a citizen- in the direction desig nated, ro.b him of the title of good citizen. Indifference in many instances js a crime more damaging to the progress of a community than open Opposition to any movement of general public interest. When any scheme is put on foot houeat difference of opinion may exist be tween, men,. aud the; discussion which follows iuytiriabiy serves to better inform all interested, and results in increased interest and active prosecution.; but cold indif ference throws a damper over the few who Would labor heart and hand for the advancement of their section or settlement, retards prog- |68«, invites retrogression, and breeds decay. .

The former is a constitutional nui sance which must be endured along with the musquitoes, fleas ?nd other small insects;.the latter a stumbling block in the path of progress, a mill stone about the neck of progress. —— t At 8 recent dinner, given by the Crown Prince of Servia to the offi- 9818 of trie battalion he commands,, bne of the guests asked . his royal highness, to propose a toast.

They used last year on. their line of steamers 8,030 quarts and 17,613 pints of champagne. The Ameri cans drink the greater part of the champagne. They call for five quarts of it to one of any other na tionality. They also used on that line last year 13,941 quarts and 7,310 pints of claret. This bad the largest sale among the French travelers, anc indeed all the passengers from the continent preferred claret. The Britishers drank the great er part of the year’s supply of ale and porter, in all 480,000 bottles. This with 1?5;0OO bottles of min eral water, made enough liquid to float one their ships in. Pretty good showing, that, in the' way of wet goods, isn’t it?. The other vipes weren’t neglect ed. The steward says their line used last year 36,000 pounds of to bacco, 65,000 cigars, 57,000 -cigar ettes; the lemons used on ship board averaged two apiece every day,' apples the same, oranges-lead- ing with three apiece each day. The steward says: . “We sailed from Liverpool with 247.cabin pas sengers and 300 iu the crew. We had on board when we started 12, r <500 pounds of fresh beef; 700 ps(Kid3 of corned beer, 5,000 pounds of niutton,-;850; pounds of lamb, 320 pounds of veal, 350 pounds of pork.

You can form from this list of fig ures what it costs to victual the vessel for every voyage. “My figures are riot done yet. This line uses 20,000 tons of ice every year, and an aver ;ga of 1,000 tons o!*coal every day. They use 104,000 gallons of engine oil for one . item, and an average bf 4 pounds of meat a minute, or over 20,000,000 pounds a year. They use-22 tons of raisins and.ciirrants, over 1,000,000 eggs, the average being one every minute." They use 1^ tons of mustard, 13 tons of peas, 17 tons or rice, and 460 tons of flour, exclusive of the 50,000 loav.es of bread. They use .15 tons of cheese aud 10 of yellow soap,not counting the toilet soap. These are only the figures of one line, and there are man} 7 .

P. A. Karey, of Fordham, N. Y., has offered to give the cot tage formerly occupied by Edgar Allen Poe to the city of New York, if a suitable site ban be found for it in Central Park, or in one of the city’s now parks. The cottage is a plain two-story frame structure on the Fordham Heights, a few. min utes’ walk from the station. Poe spent the last few years of his life there, and his wife died in the cot tage. Since then the cottage and adjoining.grounds have beeu rent ed, but Mr. Karey expects to put up a new building on the site next summer. Numerous indictments were found against citizeus of Indiana for*violating the election laws, but only ohe of them wss against a democrat, Martin Dulon, who^was indicted for voting twice.

It is an interesting fact that the the majority of presidents have- had blue eyes. Mr. Harrieon’s eyes conform to this rule. Mr. Cleveland’s eyes were brown, as were Mr. Arthur’s.

Bill Carter is, therefore, Tuck Phillip’s son-in-law and father-in-law, and Tuck Phillips is his father-law’s son’s father-in-law, while Bill Carter’s son’s wife is his father-in- law’s daughter. . Now, if Tuck Phillips has a daughter born to him she will be Bill Carter’s fa- ; ther-in-law’s child' arid at the same time bis son-in-law’s child. But the impossible thing to tell is what relationship would exist between the respective children.of the three couples, in case they have children. Can any one tell ?
