GENERAL HARRISON AT HOME.
VASSAGES FROM THE PRIVATE LIFE OF A
CANDIDATE.
Public men have to submit to tolerably searching ordeals in this country, but it is nothing to what they are subjected to in. America. Our readers will be able to form some idea of this from the following passages which we put to gether out of various Americas papers →→→→
"HARRISON HAS THE BIGGER HEAD." "If a man," says the Boston Sunday Herald, "fills any considerable space in the public view, everything pertaining to him becomes a matter of interest" and by way of emphasizing the "everything" it goes on to give some from Indianopolis trades-people" as to the kind of hats, shirts, &c., affected by General Harrison, the Republican candidate. He has a bigger head, it seems, on him than any man in the State. What's his size? Seven and a half, and it ain't one man in a thousand that takes as large. They say Cleveland wears a 7 That's
a god big hat, but it ain't an approach to Harrison."
"HIS SHOES AND HIS SHIRTS.
An interview with the General's shoemaker elicited nothing of interest, except the fact-which the Chauvinists will doubtless turn: against him in the campaign-that "he prefers a square- tipped English four lace Balmoral gaiter."" The enterprising reporter next visited General Harrison's hosier, and after discussing his shirts, tios, and gloves, got 'down to "Balbriggan underwear."
:
THE GENERAL AS A NOVEL READER. Even an American reporter could go no further, so we are taken next to his library. He is a case in point, it seems. for Bishop Stubbs's recent defence of novels: "A peculiar thing about the General is that, before any important argument or speech, he is accustomed to come home, retire to his study, and pass, perhaps, an entire evening with some light or even trashy novel. I don't know what his theory is, unless it is that by this means he temporarily leaves the case on hand, and thus clarifies his brain. I think he has no special favourites among the novelists. He reads indifferently Scott, Eliot, and Thackeray, and seems fond of each”—a superior kind of “trash," it would scem.

On a sultry September night a room ixty feet long, with a dozen or twenty patients, was supposed to be ventilated by a window down at the top six inches, with wire auze behind. There was a ventilating fan in the cellar, but to sive, trouble the janitor bad tied it up, or something, for not a breath came from the ventilater. Most of the patien's lay awake, too, bat everybody seemed to think it all right, and co one put two and two ogether enough to ask if that was not the reason why the nervous patients staid on there nooths at a time without feeling better. A right woman, who was very nice in her per onal habits, told me she never knew but two women, who had any idea of keeping the air in 100m parc. I have known one man and two women who required fresh air to breathe as well as fresh water to drink, and only these three in my whole life.-Shirley Dare.

We, will relate the little story for the information and benefit of local practitioners. The trouble concerning Mr: Cahill was that he made up a bill for £2.513 ts. qd. for works which the Prothonotary valued at £371 11. 8d.in other words, that be charged about seven times, as much as he was entitled to receive and as a further compli cation, he was accused of having attached nother man's initials to a memorandum, a thing which even a solicitor ought not to do, despite the great scope for using other people's names and other people's money which the law allows to that, favoured class. The charge of forgery was by no means reduced to absolute certainty, the man whose initials appear on the brief having stated that he was not prepared to say whether they were or were not put there by him, though the Chief Justice declared that the evidence left a very unfavourable impression " on the minds of the Court. In this respect we.con- sider that Mr. Cahill has been unjustly treated, inasmuch as if he had been tried by a jury they..

The General never drives a carriage, and never owns but one horse at a time.

Then they fined him too and turned him lonse to graze as before on the green pastures of verdant clients, and as Mr. Cahill, despite the tremendous reduction of his bill-of-costs, had yet 370 to collect, the transaction still showed A liberal profit. Simple-minded people now want badly to know how Chief Justice Darley assesses the market value of an attempt to annex other people's portable assets. If the language of that elevated lawyer amounts to anything he held Mr. Cahill to be guilty of plain, unvarnished fraud, and yet, when he rose in the majesty of his wrath, he only fined him 43 per cent, on the value of the swag."

VALUE OF PURE AIR.
How is it possible to teach people the virtue of pure, air and what it really is? Everybody agrees as to its value and goes on living in rooms aired once a day, or in sleeping, which drawa breathing supply from the cellar and the infected ground about it, strongly tinctured by the escapes of water-closets and drain-pipes. They breathe this shocking mixture over and over, charging it more beavily with organic polson at every breath. They sleep and breathe their own breath tes times over in the course of the night To be sure, they are enlightened and, strictly careful to have the window down two inches at the top; but how much water can flow into a cistern already full which has no outlet ? People do not understand that there must be one place for the air to go into a room and another in the opposite wall for it to go out, or there is no change in the body of stagnant air unless the breeze is blowing directly in the window. If they knew what they breathed they would get up and open that winday top and bottom, and take the stopper out of the stovepipe hole, or the front out of the firegrate, and three weeks after their friends would be saying: "How much better and falter you look than you used to do a little while ago The sitting-room air must not be too chilly or too dry, and it should be aired every honr, if it has no Intelligent supply of fresh air continually pasiing warm from the heater. Dry, close air creates wrinkles and dulls the complexion and the eyes, not to mention the wits. I don't know any nicer study than to keep, living and sleeping rooms in wholesome cond. tian, just warm enough, moist enough, and veetly fresh all the while. You have the world fight if you propose to have these good things for yourself. Living in pure air awhile your senses grow keen like a dog's, and you discem plainly how far short of refinement most persons fall in these respects. A visitor comes and the guest room smells for weeks after of her dr ires and anaited underwear. You see an al friend and are at once aware that she is one of the old-fashioned sort who find bathing once a week in two quarts of water all sufficient, and air their stuff gowns only at yearly housed Cleaning.

CHARACTER MOULDING."
OBSERVATIONE ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF TALENT,
No one who reads Carlyle's story can doubt that his character moulded itself most in the com parative solitude of his early life in Edinburgh, and at Craigenputtack, and that some of his most blant literary gifts, especially his graphic and humorous vivacity, grew rapidly after his life in London, with its comparative bustle and hurry, began. All depends on what the deficiencies are which need correcting. If they be defi ciencies in the power to deal with others, no doubt they will be best supplied, if they can be supplied at all, in the great current of the world, But if they be deficiencies in self-conquest and self-knowledge, then to supply such deficiencies it may need a period of solitary conflict such as that out of which Wordsworth emerged after his confusion at the issue of the French revolution had subsided, or that which secured for Cardinal Newman opportunity for the fermentation of his deepest religious principles during his voyage in the Mediterranean and his illness in Sicily in 1832-33. We believe that almost as many characters of the bigher order have been moulded In stillness as in the crush of life, and that almost as many talents of the higher order-debating talents, administrative talents, strategic talents, for instance-have been moulded in the crush of life as have been developed in stillness. It all depends on what thecharacter to be moulded is and what the talent. There are characters which never gain their true significance till they have passed through the fire of solitary conflict. And there are talents which never come to light at all except In the collisions of active life. Take, again, Vauvenargues, saying, which, Morley so much admires, eGreat, thoughts come from the heart." Well, that is true and of the, greatest significance if it be taken to mean only that men of noble intellects who are deficient in large-heartedness will never say things to stir man to the greatest depth; but, then, it is true that men of the largest hearts have not got lucid and searching i intellecta terly incapable of saying them nay, you compare the great thoughts of acon, who was certainly deficient in called “heart, with the thoughts good even nòn: (who was DOI
