not only with the consent, but upon tho

courted from the outset ihe most search

trumped up against him. Senator
Dietrich confidently believed that he

tunity. When the cuse was thrown out
of court The ISeo urged the senator to
demand an Investigation at the hands of
the senate nnd to seek through that
tribunal the vindication he confidently
counted on from the court.

Health of letter Carriers.
New York Tribune.
It cannot be disputed that cases of ap
pendicitis ore much more numerous than
they were In the last generation. They aro
far too frequent nowadays to permit the
increase to be accounted for merely by the
growth of population. At least one physi
cian holds the view that the getting In and
out of trolly cars, with their countless
Jars and shocks, tends to produce Jnflam
mutlon of the vermiform appendix. Other
medical men say that persons whose duties
require them to do a great deal of quick
walking rarely suffer from this disease.
Our letter carriers would afford an Inter
esting field for study concerning this af
fection. They above almost any other
class of men are moving rapidly about
during their hours of toll, and those hours
are by no means short or easy. Did any
one ever see a really fat letter carrrler?
In their ranks are no Falstaffs who lard
the lean earth ns they go briskly on their
dally rounds. Are letter carriers exception
ally exempt from appendicitis? The medi
cal profession might wisely look Into thl
gation is within the authority of the matter.

THAT HEAVENLY LA 3D.
Beautiful land where the sweet-scented
flowers ,t
Emit their perfumes all '.he year;
Birds sing their songs In the cool shady
bowers,
The days are not chilly nor drear.
The night with Its shades never visits that
land.
The sun never ceases to shine;
The dwellers therein are a peace-loving
band, ,
Controlled by a Kuler divine.
No sickness nor sorrow appears In that
place.
No death scenes within it are found;
No spirit of evU is there to disgrace. .
But pleasures eternal abound . ,
In that country are heard no heart-breaking
sighs,
While years of eternity. roll; ..
No obstacles rise to becloud the clear
skies, . ...
Nor burden the blood-ransomed soul.
The ever-green trees gently swayed by the
breeze,
Make music delightful to henr;
The pleasant surroundings are fashioned to
please.
No discord offending the ear.
The people who dwell In that city above.
Whose faces with radiance heam.
Are guided nnd led by an undying love.
Which flows like a clear crystal stream.
Would you moor life's bark in that haven
of rest,
Safe anchored from sorrow and care?
Would you dwell In that land the Bavlor
has blessed,
That city delightfully fair?
Then walk in the path of the humble and
meek,
Bow low 'neath the scourge of the rod;
Possess the great pearl which you ardently
seek
The smile of a merciful Ood.
