II. Root, of Buffalo, and Robert N. Miller, of Canton, wascleoted to that office. It is the purpose of the board to make Chautauqua moro jopu larthlsyear. Thoy will expend oversev-onty-flvo thousand dollars on Improve tnentB this year. Tho tesxon of the apex, which all tho wise and pood and fjreat have learned y exierlenee Is, that no man can afford to do wronjf. It is too expensive. It may seem profitable at the time, hut it will rack his conscience and plague tils lifo in after years. To know what is rig-lit and pursue it is the sum of all wisdom. Could a man load an absolute ly perfect life, morally and physically, he would have perfect health and per fect peace of mind, and his days would be lengthened by at least a score of years. Punxsutawney Spirit. Every man, however brief or inglor ious may have been his academical career, must remombor with kindness and tenderness tho old university com rades and days. The young man's life is just beginning; tho boy's leading strings are cut, and he has all the novel delights and dignity of freedom. He has no idea of cares yet, or of bad health, or of roguery, or poverty, or of to-morrow's disappointment. The play Las not been acted so often as to make him tired. Though the after-drink, as we mechanically go on repeating it, is Stale, and bitter, how pure and brilliant was that first sparkling draught of pleasure! How the boy rushes at the Cup, and with what a wild eagerness he drains it! But old epicures who are Cut off from tho dollghts of the table, and are restricted to a poached egg and a glass of water, like to see people, with good appetites; and, as the next best thing to being amused at a pantomime One's solf is to see one's childron enjoy It, I hope there may be no degree of age or experience to which mortal may attain, when he shall become such a glum philosopher as not to bo pleased at the sight of happy youth. 7'liai-teruy. One's best is a very variable quantity. Duties must bo done, obligations mot, responsibilities discharged, irrespective of our moods and often of our capabili ties. When the hour strlkos for cer tain work to be done, we must be on hand and do it with little regard to whether we can do it well or ill. But all that is required of us is to do tho best wo can at tho time; and It is ac cepted of a man according to that he hath, and not according to that ho hath not. Tho house-mother ofton rises in the morning fueling quite inadequate to meet the requirements of tho day. A bhe sees what her children noed, and compares their needs with her ability to meet them, she can but exclaim, "Who is sufficient for these things?" There Is nothing for her to do but to do the best she can, even though it be a very poor best. When nine o'clock calls the teacher to her pupils, not al ways is she in the best mood for answer ing that call. But she is required only ta do the best she can. The student aits down to a hard lesson, perhaps with aching head, with dull perceptions, with unretontive memory, and his very best efforts fall to make him master of it His conscience may give him the peace his standing in the recitation room denies. There are some things for which we may be hold responsible in the matter of doing our best. What ever that is avoidable by us, and that robs us of that ability, we are in duty bound to avoid. We caunot knowingly and willingly put it out of our power to do our best and then complain of the result or deny our responsibility for it. Sometimes the very "stain in their courses" soera to fight against us. The skies are clouded, the storm howls about us, the atmosphere la oppressive, and our "environment" suppresses, chokes us. Kven then all we are required to do is our best and leave results with a higher power. r.

"I wonder," said Oeorge Uayser at the Victoria yesterday, "that there is no scheme for a big floating hotel on the lake during tho World's fair, modeled after the one Just completed in Muino, and which will soon lie sent to Florida waters to cruise or float, whichever term may be right. I saw it before I left Mnine. It is nn immense nnd rather un Wieldly looking affair, and an outside view is nijt particularly prepossessing, but its interior decoration and the ar rangements for the convenience nnd com fort of guests equal almost any of the land hotels, except that it lacks the met ropolitan character of our large city hotels and has too much of a sporting flavor to suit the average man who is not a Nimrod or a Wnlton. It will be patronized chiefly by sporting men who will hunt anil fish in southern waters. To take the place of cabs, which always stand on the outside, of hotels, there are rows of skiffs, and the umbrella receivers, Instead of being full of umbrellas and canes, have fishing rods in them. "Undoubtedly tunny gentlemen will bring their families with them, so the Jiarlors and ballrooms are fitted up ns in and hotels. It is a slow moving craft, and I supposo most of the time it will le stationary, only moving from place to place as reports of good hunting or fish ing reach the manager. Most of the hunting expeditions will lie made in mail boats up into the bayous and riv ers and swamps. The management will probably be entirely free from the an noyance of dead beats and hotel sharps, for if they should be detected out on the ocean they might be used as bait for the fishes." Chicago Tribune. AdrertUIng- m Yandcrbllt'a Gnt. The following unique advertisement has appeared in The Times, and also, with a trifling variation, in The Morning Post: Mr. R. W. Davey, of London, hue arrived at New York on hlo return trip from Central America, and la at present the guest of Mr. Vanderbilt, the millionaire. Never before having heard of Mr. R. W. Davey, of London, I am burning for more information concerning this indi vidual. Who is R. W. Davoy? What has he been doing in America? Why is the fact of his being the guest of Mr. Vanderbilt deemed of sufficient pnblio interest for publication as an advertise ment in the London papers? Who wants to know where R. W. Davey haa been? Who cares where he is now? Evidently R. W. Davey has a large circle of ac quaintances who are deeply concerned about his movement, and I shall be glad if any of them will enlighten me on the above point. London Truth. A Dleeharged Engineer' Rait. One of the strangest actions ever brought in the Lawrence county courts has just been commenced by W. P. Nye against the Pittsburg company, which haa been improving the new town of Ellwood. Mr. Nye states that he ia a lo comotive engineer. Sept. 28, I860, be was induced by the Pittsburg company to accept a position as engineer on the Beaver Valley railroad at $80 a month, which was increased by working over time to $100. On the representations of the company that he would have a permanent posi tion he bought a house and lot from the Pittsburg company for $1,750, agreeing to pay $120 every three months until the whole amount was paid. July 81, 189V, he was discharged, as he says, without cause. He ceased to pay for his house, and now he asks $2,000 from the com pany for breach of contract. Meodville (Pa.) Gazette. A Singular Railroad Accident. A case was reported recently of an engineer being killed by his head strik ing against a sagged telegraph pole aa he leaned from his cab window, and several instances are lately noted of brakemen being swept from the roof of cars by bridges. But perhaps the most singular accident of this kind occurred in Mis souri last week. An engineer of an Iron Mountain train was leaning out of his cab window passing Williamsville when he was caught by the mail catcher the iron pole and hook arrangement for catching the mails from moving trains and pulled clean from his engine, through the window, falling beside the track aa his train passed on. He was seriously injured. Exchange. A Kervone Bridegroom. The First Presbyterian church was the scene of a very pretty wedding at an early hour Tuesday morning, the parties being Benjamin Spence, of West Bridge water, Mass., and Miss Bianca Verbeek, of this city. During the ceremony the groom startled the invited guests by fall ing in a faint. His nervousness agitated the bride, and it was feared a postpone ment would be necessary, but at bis re quest, when he regained his composure, the officiating clergyman completed the ceremony. While going down the aisle the groom again fainted and was with much difficulty revived, but recovered sufficiently to take the train for his home in Massachusetts. Atlantic City Cor. Philadelphia Times. The Hanger la lead Water. Cautions have been issued by the im perial health office of Berlin with regard to the use of ice. Investigation haa shown that the ice of commerce sold at Berlin contains micro-organism that are dangerous to health, and the con clusion has been arrived at that illnesses frequently observed after iced drink have been taken have probably less to do with the coldness of the drink than with the disease germs contained in the ice. The public have consequently been warned to eschew drinks and food which have become dangerous to health in the manner suggested. Cor. Manchester (England) Guardian.
