For his soul unmoved by the mobs wild shout or the social sneer's disgrace; For his freeborn spirit that drew no line between class or creed or race. years to count Wendell Phillips and John Boyle O'Reilly among our best friends. We well remember the evening when both, at our request, took part in one of our annual meetings at the Tremont temple. It was at the time when we were fighting at the state-hous- e for our law to prohibit the shooting of pigeons from traps. We were opposed by some hundreds of Boston gentlemen, who employed three prominent lawyers, and we needed help. We need not say that our application to Wendell Phillips and. John Boyle O'Reilly brought the help w& wanted and assisted us in causing the law to he enacted. From OReillys poem on the death of Phillips, in the Boston Pilot of Nov. 15, we take the last two verses: Come, brothers, here to the burial! But Weep not, rather rejoice, For his fearless life and his fearieSs death; for his true, unequaled voice. Like a silver trumpet sounding the note of human right; r i k t er. here was a teacher, and the lesson he taught was good; There are no classes of races, but one human brotherhood; There are no creeds to be outlawed, no colors of skin debarred; Mankind is one in its rights and wrongs one right, one hope, one guard. By his life he taught, by his death we learn the great reformers creed; ' The right to be free, and the hope to be just, and the guard against selfish greed.

Heretofore it has been necessary for him to walk the entire length of the log to scrutinize the opposite end before the sawing begins, but with the Invention just placed on the market by William T. S. Digging of Centralia, W. Va., it is unnecessary for him to leave his station beside the saw. The device consists of a glass reflector, divided by cords to indicate the line the saw Will take in cutting Ihe log. The sawyer has only to adjust the reflectors by a simple mechanism within easy reach and both ends of the log are shown in conjunction with the indicating lines, enabling him to turn the log to cut to the best advantage. The picture shows the rear end of the carriage, with the log in place, and also the mirror and log reflected therein, indicating several splits or checks similar to those which are found In large logs. i Men Blush More Than Women. port and Wlcken Bonhunt, the curfew bell is still rung.
