be called forth to answer it is only justifiable in self defense in defense of my property my family or my person and life or in the same sense for a nation among nations of the earth mob murder is unlicensed war but it means killing the horrible scenes in georgia where a man com mitted murder and atrocious crime and then the mob gathered around the mur derer stripped him scourged him and put him to death and punishment by coal oil and fire only convince me that the murder breed mnrder and that in crease of appetite grows by what it feeds on indeed our very useful insurance companies have given a great incentive to crime in our experience the prurient hand will take the midnight torch and ignite a dwelling or barn to get his policy turned into cash and charles o kaiser and james a clem mer entered into a conspiracy to rob the insurance companies and kill a wom an that kaiser betrayed with a kiss right here in our county all good things may be turned to wrong purposes the men who are dallying with politics at some people's expense if not their own will find out that patriotism is a virtue to be valued above personal hute and abuse that great principles are pre ferable to private and individual pre ferences and men who from spleen and spasmodic passion turn upon all the traditions of patriotism to indulge in assassination will not be revered in history even if they escape being hung that mild-mannered man who was i-alled to the presidency in 1801 was gjiu-rificed by a base conspiracy but he will live in history while the base con spirators will go down to posterity cov

philadel phia to go through the ceremony of honoring general grant in the institu tion of tiie cenotaph to his memory but grant will not be there only the deeds that shine all along the unnals of the war with the south will speak for the dead warrior it is recorded by a poet of renown that by nebo's lofty mountain on this side of jordan's wave in a vale in the land of moab there lies a lonely grave but no man dug that sepulchre and no man saw it ever for the eons of god upturned the sod and laid old moses there but every general is not a moses and many have to be buried with pomp and ceremony and have a monument over their grave and a cenotaph in a public park besides they had an old quaker down at plymouth meeting many years ago and he emote the tombstones as samson slew the philistines but our friend used a sledge and samson took the jaw bone of an ass monuments make his tory and hence great core should bo taken to make the inscriptions truthful when charles hunsicker of our bar died his wife procured a handsome monument but 1 was up at montgom ery cemetery on sunday where the handsome mausoleum was placed and if the tablet giving dates told the truth mr hunsicker was admitted to the practice of law when he was 15 years i/f age or thereabouts that was the error of tho sculptor and it was soon corrected right in front of my pres ent office on airy street corner of

applauded the introductory remarks were of i general nature and in reference to earth i|tiakes mr conwell said few scientific men know exactly w.mt an earthanak is and the view and definitions diffe so widely as to show that science has not as yet revealed this mystery he however read a definition of an earth quake ns given in london by a soleotls empowered to study their phenomena it was so vague and full of obscuri terms that it conveyed no real mean int to any one it was the matin-mat i a definition but mr conwell said hi subject had nothing to do with earth quakes except one that occurred in 1(50 on an island off the const of japan and what was known as the langhini earthquake from the nitros-oxide ga which came from the earth so tha after all the terrible upheaval am rumbling

assistance came to them from the mainland the re port of this laughing earthquake dr conwell had had presented to him by a classmate who was a japanese office holder it had been translated and he perused it at first more hit ot courtesy to his classmate but afterwards became more and more absorbed ns the splen did possibilities opened and the illustra tions were conveyed to his mind an old fisherman of the island who had his home on the rocky barren cliff was out at sea when the rumblings were heard and despite hie efforts to reach the shore he did not succeec in landing until the earthquake hat passed away to his surprise he dis covered the island completely changec to a plain of sand and liis own family convulsed in laughter just in the rear of his home the phenomena had openec a fissure in the jocks displaying a rich vein of gold in exchange for which the japanese government gave liim a title of nobility so that veins of gold foliow ed ripples of laughter in the path oi the jolly earthquake so it is in life the immediate results of a laughing dis position are numerous opening veins of golden opportunities this island was a resort of the japan ese government for its exiles a lunatic being retained there after the earth juakethe building in which he was con fined was found to have been shattered to fragments but the lunatic was dis covered rolling about on the sand con vulsed in laughter but in liis right mind dr conwell then quoted an in stance which happened in massachusetts of an insane man cured by being coin pelled to laugh the restored man is now a resident of ohio and engaged in a prosperous business the speaker said the conclusion of all medical au thorities on this point is that at some time or other if laughter could have been produced in the unfortunate man his mind would have been restored a number of cases ol severe illness were cited to show the power of the mind over the body in which the pa tient assuming a more cheerful disposi tion and having been buovi'd up in hopes by his attendants or having had iwakened in him an interest in some thing finally resulted in accomplishing more good than tho sedate s'llemn and gritve kindness of the nurses and the medicine of the doctor dr conwell spoke of a number of such cases within his own experience the civil war it was claimed was prolonged six weeks bv a joke on the iart of one southern soldier who was liacovered by general lee eating a rreen persimmon the general repn handed him for consuming such food as hat whereupon the man replied food i'm not eating these for food

a smiling countenance accom plish more real good and actual results ban m"st people are aware of sever al stories of abraham lincoln were told o illustrate ins peculiar way of accom plishing a result by this method dr conwell himself was sent to china o study the people in the interest of a movement to settle the great chinese cluaion question in mussachusetts while awuy in that distant country the whole matter was righted by a joke two chinamen had been employed to run an ice wagon and one day a hail came up having never seen pebbles of ice fall from the sky much ilarmed they took shelter
