The men who have made their 111:1rk in life are those who l1:1ve found their true vocation. In that vocation they have been the architects of their own fortunes; :1i1d, as a rule, men l1:1ve been successful or unsuccessful in their tin- dertakings, as they have succeeded or failed in finding their true calling——ti1c one in which they could make the best use of theiitselves; for, after all, the power to make the best use of one’s t:1l- ent is the secret of success in life. ’I‘o select the voc-ation for which your t:1l- ent fits you is :1 very Il(E<.‘(:SS?l1‘_\' thing, but the facility to put yourself in l1:1r- ness so that you can make the best use of thatt:1le11t. in that vocation is of the highest value to a man. Herein lies the great difference be- tween men. It is not so much a1lit- ference of talent, it is in making the best use of that talent.

He will pass through life with enough unused legal ability to have equipped three or four common lawyers.

The General used gerrerrrlly to walk to and from hi.-1 ‘heathpiarti-rs,‘ which _ 1 were in a two-story house on Sevcnteeritli street, opposite the VVar I)epartrricrit, and , he was often seen trudging along on a storirry day, his only protcctiori frorit the rain being an army cloak and a slouch hat.

The rrrectings generally occupied about two hours, and the biisiiri.-ss was conducted in a conversatiorial way." The "old ltornarr" of the Democracy is thus plrotograplied: “Allen G. Tlirirrriaii of Ohio was recog- rri'/.t.-d by the l)criiocrats of the Senate as their leader.

Maj. Poore thus clearly condenses the story of how the Nrrtitirial Treasury was plundered when tlu.-s'c railroads first came into existence: Under various acts of (Jon- gress granting aid to the Union Pacific railroad that; corporation was to receive 12.800 acres of land to the mile, or about 12,000,000 in all, and government 6 per cent bonds to the amount. of $12,000 per mile for one portion of the road, $32,000 per mile for another portion of the road, and $48,000 per mile for another. In ad- dition to these subsidies the company was authorized to issue its own first-mortgage bonds to an amount equal to the govern- ment bonds, and to organize with 9. capital stock not to exceed $100.000,000. All this constituted a magnificent fund, and it soon became evident that the road could be built for at least. $20,000,000 less than the resources thus furnished. “Of course the honest way would have been to build the road us economically as possible, and give the Government the hen- efit of the saving, but this was not thought of. The directors set thernselves at work to concoct a plan by which they could ap- Dromfiate the whole mount. and. after building the road. tlivitl'E~'tl'ie l:'i‘r‘gc surplus among tlieniselves. Tlu-V plan hit upon was for the directors to bcconic contract- ors: in other words, to hire themselves to build the road. To i-tvrrsrrriimate this fraud without exciting publii: attention, and to cover all traces of the ri::iii.~:a<-tiori, was no easy matter, but the flll‘t‘('.l()l'\‘ ernployed an eminent attorney, .\lx'lllt‘tl in the intricacies of railroad ft'aud, and with his aid and ad- vice the I1ltl(‘lllllt'l'_\' for the tr'arr-'a<~ti0n Was finally arrairged to the .-ari:-faction of all concerned.

" The above is a masterly brief stateincrit of a great robbery of the Goverrirucnt, which the people have not yet forgotten or forgiven. Maj. Poorc gives due space to the present A(.llitinistt'ati()Il: “Miss Cleveland talks very much as she writes, and those who have enjoyed her ‘Summer Hours’ can imagine the bright strain of her conversa- tion. She seemed when in the \Vhitc House to be always longing for What she called her “little old house on the Holland Patent, with the village on the one side and the hills on the other.’ She remarked one day to a lady visitor: ‘I wish that I could observe Wasliington life in its political phase; butl suppose I am too near the cen- tre to get an accurate perspective on that. Those who live on Mount Atlios do not see Mount Adios.’ " l’rcsi(lerit Cleveland “is of the Teutonic t.ype—blonde, with rriddy color. His head is large, with a broad forelread, deeply set blue eyes, a large, straiglrt nose. with vigorous nostrils, and a firm riiorith, partly shaded by a drooping light rnustance. lle is above medium height. quite stout, and rather slrrggisli in his inoverucnts.

There are few large cities at the South, and intelligent; people from that section enjoy the metropolis where they are more at home than in the bustling com- mercial centres of the North.” French critics seem to be as incapable of urider'st-aridirrg liriglisli humor as Sydney Smith's typical Calcdonian was of appre- ciating an ordinary joke. Quite astorm of iridignatioir has been raised here owing to the fact that Mr. Gilbert's funny stanzas in “l{riddigore" about the British revenue cutter steering away from the French frigate have been deplorably misunder- stood. The two “Savoyards," Messrs. Gilbert and Sulivan, are calmly invited by one critic to come across the channel and tind out for tlicnrselves the tlitfcrt-nee between a I"r:errelnnan and a. “gal." Then we that the old stories about adaptations from the Fri-rrcli again trumped up, and the lanientable abscrrce of art of every kind in England dilated upon ad nauseam. It is worth while to explain to the French detractors of the two "Savo_vards” that Mr. Gill-ert‘s sarcastic frin is directed against the sailors of the British rev- enue cutter rather than against the “rnounseers," Perhaps a course of Mr Gilbert's works, beginning with the “Bab Balhrds," would serve to convince French- men that he has greater claims to attention than they think, and that even his most grotesque sketches of lively Gadls are more artistically true than the hideous car- icatures of English men and women which are usually represented on the French state or described in the average French novel. -—ParisACor.

The railway passes of its members protected them from becoming strangers to their fami- lies and friends, and perhaps the rail- ways from a reduction of passenger fares. Much valuable time has been wasted but it would have been an in- novation on all past history had it been otherwise and the people had no good reason to expect it. In fact they do not require of their representatives anything better than they get. ()1it of all the crude material cast into the legislative inill some good leg- islation has been had. The people de- manded the submission of a. constitu- tional prohibitory amendment and al- though it failed the work was by no means lost. The temperance sentiment has made a long stride forward. Laws affectiiig the traflic were improved and made less difficult of execution, and a notice served on nianufacturers, deal- ers, politicians, and the press, prove that the saloon must go. The local op- tion law covering counties will keep the question prominently before the people and the war on this most ex- pensive demorali7.ing busiiiess will not ll.-ig. ltailway influence lias been more powerful than the peopleand their in- tcrests have not been disturbed, only agitated. In its effort to cxteriniiiate grave- yard insurance it has appareiitly done a good work. A l'cw i‘ascals have been invited out of' the State if they con- tinue their vocation. The mai'ri:ige and divorce lawsliave bee ii iinpi'oved by placing some ob.-triictions in the road to and from the inarriagc rclzitioii. Early in tho scssioii protection was :ill'ordcd to that large class of fariiicrs who are determined to raise Bolicinizin oats or engage in kindred cntcrpi'ises, and if the law is enforced patrons of hotels and eating houses will know when they are eating oleoniargarine, butterinc, or other substitutes for hon- est. butter. Legal interest was reduced to six per ccnt., with the right to con- truct as high asten still remaining. The bucket shop business got a well de- served blow in the pass.-ige of :1 law tixing a penalty for any deal in grain oreoniinoditics except by actual de- livery. The ganie laws were aincnded for the better protection of ganir-., and by the crcalion of special supervision bctter protection is expected. The iieeds of State lnstiltiliolis were met by liberal appropriatioiis,:ilt‘iougli in some iiistaiice.-—notably the [Tui- versity——:ill that was tlSl\'C‘, 16:}, IN}, living. 1n short if We plow less and pasture more while grain is so cheap we shall pay less Wages to hired help, improve the fertility of our farms, and at the end of five years be worth quite as much money. \Ve of Southern Michigan plow too much, and sow too much. By this we mean we turn over too large a proportion of our farms each year. \Ve should keep more good sheep, take better care of them, and by good management make them pay us better. \Ve say sheep ' because this branch of agriculture has suffered a greater falling off than any other, and, as we believe, without good cause. W'hen the price of wool declined some years ago a cry was raised that “sheep don’t pay.” The echo of that cry has caused more farmers to abandon the manufacture of wool and mutton than any conclusions based on a ledger ac- count With the flocks of the farmer who abandoned the business. Of course it is no use for the farmer who loves a horse better than anything else but his wife, and makes that exception un- necessary half the tinie,—-knows every horse in the county, and can only talk horse when he talks at all, to keep sheep, as he will expect them to take care of theinselves in the summer and do well at a straw stack all winter, and in this is liable to disappointinent. But. the average fzirincr who has learned something by experience and observation should keep sheep and make such changes from time to time as will give i'c:isoiialilc tli~‘Sll1':l1lt‘() of continued iniproveiiieiit. in his flock. Ax :1l)st1'aet of the report of D. (,3. Vaugliaii, of the State Board of I lcalth. has been sent to this ollice. As fcw of our readers, like ourselves, fully un- derstand the terms used and the chem- ical relations as explained by the learned I’rof'essor in his endeavor to show the danger to which young children are exposed by the use of milk, particularly in cities, we do not copy the abstract but boil the matter down, the gist of which is this: He avers the milk given to young children ot'teii has the incipient condi- tions of poisoning. This arises from a variety of caiiscs and as enui1iei'ated may be tr:u-,ed to unliealthy cows, iinpropcr food, bad water, milking when the cow has been worried, or in bariis or y.-irds that are unfit. If previous <'o1l(lili()lis liave all been l':i\'orablc milk to re1n:iin good should be cooled at once and kept cool by sonic one of the variou.-' mctliodsin use and should never be allowed to stand uncovercd in living or sleeping l'()()1l]:<,l101'Slltlllltl tliedrain from the rel'rigei':itor or other milk depository be allowed toconncct with the kitch- en drain or a cesspool of any kind. The rise of milk iinpropcrly cared f‘or is a t'ruitful source of suinnicr complaints. And here is what the l’rofess,or sug- gcsts in a rcinedial way: The first thing to do is to stop the adniinisti'atioii of milk in any form. The ll'1‘11)(‘llt ispl‘csc1lt. iii the alimen- tary ezuial and giving the best of milk would simply be siipplyiiig the gcrin with inaterial for the production of the poison. This iio-inilk treatnieiit is not by any means a new idea: but the reason for it has not been liitlicrto uiidcrstood. Now th:it we know that a powerful poison is formed from the putrt-factioii of milk, the iicccssity of its exclusion must become apparent to all. The food used may L'()ll.Kl.'l)lllllClll not exceetliiig six months. or both line and imprisonment, in the discretion of'li'e court or iiuigisirate. The penalty for the second violznion is that the druggist shall discontiiiue his l1l1Sll1€~Sll‘l the city, village or lU\.\’l‘l>lllll, as the case may be, for the term of five years. In his band and application he is made to waive this right in case he violates the law. In case of his lveiog found guilty ofa first violation the liquor dealer is 5tll)lU'.‘[L’tl to the same penzillies a.<:itli'1ig;_ist lFUl“lilt3 fir.-t vio- lation; for the second offense he is (lt.'l\‘.1il‘€(l from forever afterward engaging in the busi ness. Bondsmen must be secured within the city, village, or township, where the l)Ll.\'lllC‘\S is conducted; they must qualify in unencum- bered real estate, each to the full amount of the bond, and the real estate mu-1 be located in the county in which the business is con- ducted. ln one section of the bill is the provision that no person can go upon the l)L:ll\l\' o more than two dealers as 21 surety. In two other sections and in the oath of the bonds- man he is made to swear that he “is not surety upon any oth )1’ bond." Cotuily treas- urers are made liable for any violation.-' of this [)l‘O\l>ltill. "he selling of liquors in any concert hall, v.'1i'ictytlieali'c, or place of amusenient, or in any room zidjoiniiig such hall, theatre, or place. is proliibited. ‘.\'lien any person is found intoxicated in any street or public phice and is arrested, the court or lll11;l~il'.llL‘ l-cfore wlioin the pcrsoii is taken is required to ask the que-ti-:n,‘~‘»\'lieii, where, and of whom was the liquor secured that led to theiiitoxii:a1ion?" ll the f\l’l't:\i‘ ed man refuses to answer the que-lion, he is liable to a line for contempt of court, as in other cases. If he gives answer, the same must be taken down in subslaiice by the court, and is deemed sufficient ground upon which a prosecuting attorney or city attorney can bring suit agniizst the dealer for vi. lating any one or nioie p1‘t)\'iSi(ms of the act. A temptation to “squeal” is given the m-meted man by making it obligatory upon the court to suspend sentence in cases of -iinple drunk and iiitoxicatioii, if sti'aightfor\v;ird answers are given. The other main features of the old law ave retained and the duties of peace officers in enforcing the law are made niore explicit and binding. The high tax clause (loes not affect those dealers who have already taken out :1 license at the low tax figures. until on and after May first next. No dealer can obtain a tax run- ning later than .\l.iy 1 of each year and no sum is made receivable for any fi'actit‘nial part of a year for less than one half of the entire tax. By this provision dealers who wish :1 tax for six months or more must pay the whole amountof the t‘ x; those who wish 3 tax for six lllOlllll.\ or less must pay one—half of the full znnount. I — ‘V1: cut the following from Our Dumb .‘\1lllIl:ll.~‘, a inoiitlilv published in Boston, now in its twentictli vol- '-”"0:a('U1)_\' of which has come to our table.

The ani- mals will stand in the watero: pass the great- er pari of the day in the sliade, rather than expose themselves to the sunshine, going out to eat only when driven by hunger. They lose flesh, the flow of milk sliriuk~,aml a loss isincurred that can not easily be made good again.

THE G-HANG-E ‘VISITOR. 5 VVE notice maple trees set within three years b_v road side or on lawn, are taking on their autuiiiu leaves and if not soon relieved in some way will follow the lead of the many gone be- fore, and their owner who paid twenty-five cents or more for the tree and its setting will 1-aliiily speak oftlie difiieulties of setting trees and having them live. NoW'we insist there is no ditiicnlty about it. It a. tree that has been well set, dies, nine times out of ten it is from neglect. If we neglect to set a tree or cause some one else to set it of course we have no tree or shade Where it was Wanted. And so if we neglect. to care for a. tree when these long hot days have transtered all iiiois- tiire from the earth to the atmosphere and the heavens above are of brassy hue and the earth thirsts, we not only throw away what we have invested but lose a year or two of time that cannot be restored. As this does not pay why not save the trees and keep them growing. The first thing to do is dig about them; mellow the ground With a grub hoe or niattock for three feet from the free all around it. then it the distance or number require it put a barrel or two on :1 wagon and apply four or five pails of water to eat-.li tree and follow with a liberal mulch ofsonie kind that will prevent the evaporation of the water.
