Positive Opinions on the by Edward “Everett Dr. Edward Everett the Mothers and Fathers’ Boston a day or two.ago. He, his audience. ‘somew: “Tenement © houses, ne seven’ apo: got itase stories high, packed i causing all kinds of* pat ip Jaws to be'-made, are as Power as hell.” He expressed the hope that ~ in a hyndred from yearsfrom now thére would be no -$reat cities; “What we want,” said the orator, “is: to initiate our children to live in ;the re eae open ait, to grow to love the country, so that they can know the difference between a turnip and: a ‘potato, and between grass and hemlock. When this has been brought. about we- will have been converted. from: the, mig; erable mechanical machine life Weare now living.” MIGHT HAVE BEEN WORSE. trishmen’s Philosophic Comment the Lose of His Legs. Gov. Odell of New York, tells this story of a Newburg parson well known ‘for the extremely optimistic . view he takes of other men’s misfortunes, One “on day this hopeful divine was called’in f to administer spiritual comfort toan Irishman who was lying in the ‘emer- gency hospital at Fishkill Landing. The poor fellow had lost both legs, ip, an accident in a stone quarry, and was taking what the saintly doctor con, sidered an impassioned view of his prospects. “Come, my good man;~ said the parson, cheerfully, “it’s the loss of a pair of legs, to be sufe, but it’s not so bad as it might be.’ “Shure, I dunno but you're roigat,” replied the fellow glumly. ‘“’Twould have been a'dom sight worse if I'd been a chorus girl.” For and Against. Several days before the last’ election one of the Democratic candidates was standing in the corridor of a Roading, Va., hotel, whea a well-known “harac- ter, a rabid old Republican, came along and. greeted him effusively. The latter was an impecunious fellow, and,” it seems,"had been befriended on sev- eral occasions by the other, of whose friendship, in fact, he was inclined to boast. The_greeti-g in this instance was the ‘pr de to the request of:a Joan of $5 ‘ow is it,” said the can- * didate, “that when you"want nioney you come. tg..me,-but when election day comes you will yote for ‘wmafy Pop- | ponent?” “Mell, you see,” the other fter ‘a pause, “politically. 2m op- posed “tb” you, staaencialiy “Ti your friend,” Whistler’s Sarcacm. « There*is an*tnséription on 4 private dwelling housg, in Chejsea, bufft for the painter Whistler hy Godwin.

That alone should carry ‘him high in the list of “Old Farrs,” but- thé fact—if fact it be—which is probably without precedent is that at the age of 112 he was still following his trade. ‘ At this time he fell from the rocf of a house, where he was repairing some lead piping, and sustained injuries which disabled him for the past three years.
