The most successful thinkers are usually frugal in their habits of eating and drinking; yet this is not always true, as in the case of Dickens and Bayard Taylor; but these men died long before their time. Careful living would, without doubt, have enabled them to extend their lives many years, and to give much riper productions to the world. Sir Isaac Newton was a close student, and lived to be more than fourscore years of age. He used to say that he could not think clearly until more than five hours had elapsed after a meal. The most eminent men of our time are very careful livers. A. T. Stewart, the merchant prince of America, lived frugally, and Jay Gould, the richest man on the continent to-day, is said to be the most abstemious. Commodore Vanderbilt was exemplary in this respect, as were Horace Greeley, Abraham Lincoln, Salmon P. Chase, Edward Everett and John C. Calhoun. It is said that when Henry Ward Beecher expects to make an unusual effort in public, he postpones a meal, if it comes near the hour of his lecture, and waits until he is rested afterward before he eats anything; and he has every prospect of being a hale old man. We might mention Ralph Waldo Emerson and Bronson Alcott, whose wisdom takes in the very important concern of caring for the needs of the body in the very best sense. People cannot eat their loaf and keep it at the same time. They cannot squander their vital force in high living and continue to give their best efforts to the world. A man ought to be able to write his best at seventy, for then he has had experience enough to show him how to begin to live. When we think of such men as Humboldt, Longfellow and Whittier doing their best work in the evening of their lives, we feel conscious of a lack in the abridged existence of Dickens, Poe and Byron. We feel satisfied when men die of old age; but mourning memory lingers long at the grave of genius cut down by dissipation before its time. ### The Most Ungrateful of Men. Quincy (Ill,) Whig. A few evenings since, as Mr. Heberling sat at his boat-house looking out upon the river, meditating on the openness of the Winter, and waiting for several skiffs which he had loaned to sportsmen, he spied a boat in the bay which was drifting down with the current. Thinking it might be one of his own, he watched it as it came down, and the current brought it so near his boat-house that with the aid of a boat-hook he was enabled to catch it and pull it in. He was surprised to see a man lying on the bottom of the skiff, and when he made an examination he found that the man was drunk. After a great deal of shaking the man came to sufficiently to sit up, and his rescuer asked him his name and where he was going, to which the only answer was "Dunno." Mr. Heberling spent some time in getting the man out of the boat, and during his effort the unsteadiness of the drunken man came near giving both a cold bath in the bay, but he finally succeeded in getting him into the boat-house, and later he was recognized as the watchman on a steamer lying on the island side of the bay. Mr. Heberling offered his services to take him over in a skiff, and they were accepted by the watchman. After the man had been seated in the stern of the boat, Mr. Heberling took the oars, and by steady and strong pulling soon landed on the other side. But when he started to return, he was stopped by the drunken man, who coolly informed him that he could not have the skiff to go back. This somewhat astonished Mr. Heberling, who argued the point with the watchman, but all the eloquence and logic used did not convince the man, who told the kind boatman to get back the best way he could, but that that skiff must remain. Mr. Heberling then wandered about the island looking for some mode of escape from the place, and finally spied a boat lying on the shore. He went to the cabin near by and roused the owner, who took pity on the wandering boatman and took him across the bay. ### The Boston Woman Abroad. Boston Saturday Evening Gazette. A somewhat absent-minded Boston lady, who occupies a highly favored position in the literary world, gives an amusing account of her latest "brown study" and its effects to the London public. She was dressing to go out with a blind friend one day last Summer, and, having completed her toilet, joined him at the door, when they proceeded leisurely through some of the most fashionably frequented streets to their destination. She at last observed the people looking curiously at her, and not being given to vanity, wondered why, but still walked on, chatting contentedly with her friend. Suddenly a peculiar glance from a passer-by caused her to put her hand to her head, when lo! her bonnet was not there! Of course it had dropped off, and rushing into a shop she wrote out a minute description, with reward offered, of the missing article, and had it placed in the windows of the shops along the route they had come; then seeking the seclusion of a cab, hastened home as soon as might be. On entering her room the first object that greeted her now fully awakened vision was the bonnet, that had never been taken out walking at all. ### Diagnosing His Own Case. Detroit Free Press. As a Woodward avenue car was on its way down town yesterday it was halted by the vigorous shouts and gestures of a man nearly a block away. He finally reached the car, puffing and blowing, dropped into a seat for a minute, and then began feeling for his nickel to pay fare with. He went through every pocket twice over, stood up and shook himself, and then bolted out of the car and dropped off into the mud, saying to a man on the platform: "If you hear of the sudden death of a fool you may know that it's me!" ## Column 2 # IRELAND'S HEROINE. ## *PRETTY MISS REYNOLDS, THE LADY LAND LEAGUER.* ### Her Influence Over Men and Women—How She Prevented the Eviction of Tenants—At Last in Prison. It is telegraphed from Dublin that Miss Reynolds, one of the leading members of the Ladies' Land League in that city, was charged in the Petty Session Court with inciting a tenant not to pay his rent, and was ordered by the Court to furnish bail to keep the peace. This she refused to do, whereupon the Justice sentenced her to prison for six months. This is what Henry George says of her: "Seeing that the almond is beginning to blossom in my hair sufficiently to allow me sometimes to make remarks which in younger men would be inadmissible, I once in visiting the League rooms ventured to compliment some of the ladies upon the good looks of the rosy-cheeked Land Leaguers there at work. 'Oh,' they replied, 'the prettiest of us all is not here! You ought to see Miss Reynolds! She is the handsomest of all! She is beautiful!' So inquiring about this lady who was voted by common consent the prettiest in the whole League, I found she was a highly-educated girl of about 19, an orphan, living with an aunt, but having property of her own. She took no part in the League until the League being suppressed and its leaders imprisoned she saw that the whole work devolved upon the women, and then she came forward and offered her services." And the Dublin *Express* (landlords' organ) has this upon the same subject: Whatever else may be said of the Ladies' Land League, one thing will be admitted, that Miss Reynolds, its representative, to-day made the West Cork eviction expedition a laughing stock and foiled them in their efforts to collect rents. She has, within a few hours, wrought a most remarkable change in the disposition of the people of these parts. On Tuesday and Wednesday the people were as mild as lambs and far more respectful, but she had scarcely been an hour in Castletown when they assumed the air of wolves. The little disturbance of last night, when the people collected around Miss Reynolds' hotel with tar barrels, and were dispersed by the police, only gave appetite for more fun. The expedition to-day was composed of seventy men of the Rifle Brigade from Cork, fifty men of the Thirty-ninth Regiment from Kinsdale, and thirty from Cork, under the command of Colonel Lloyd, with sixty or seventy police, under Sub-Inspectors Maxwell and Hill. Surgeon-Major McReery accompanied the military. The Sheriff (Mr. Gale) and his bailiff were in front. Mr. Warburton, R. M., who had supreme control, was accompanied by Herbert Gladstone, M. P., for Leeds, and son of the Premier. They left Castletown about 8 o'clock, and marched to Urrhan, nine miles distant. The Sheriff had scarcely left town when Miss Reynolds followed him on an outside car, and overhauled him at the house of Timothy Hanley. The Sheriff succeeded in getting in first, and he and Mr. Payne, Jr., closeted themselves with the tenant so as to make a settlement. Miss Reynolds, accompanied by a crowd of peasantry, male and female, cheering lustily, attempted to gain an entrance to see the tenant, but Mr. Warburton directed the police to ward off the intruders. When Miss Reynolds found herself foiled at the front door, she tried the back door, but Sub-Inspector Maxwell intercepted her there also by a few of his men. The conference between the tenant, his wife and the Sheriff occupied some minutes; and as the people quieted down, Miss Reynolds again intruded herself, and succeeded in gaining admission to the kitchen, where Mr. Gladstone, some bailiffs, policemen and a dozen relatives of the Hanley family were. Her first act after entering was to inquire for the tenant. A female volunteered "that he was in the room," and called out that Miss Parnell wanted him. "Stop," quoth a bailiff, "and don't be shouting lies. If you say that again I will put you out." Miss Reynolds reproved the bailiff and announced, in a decided tone of voice, that she was Miss Parnell's representative and that that was all the same. Silence again prevailed, and in a few minutes she ordered some peasants present to go forth and preach "No Rent." Hanley was protected from such doctrine and he paid one year's rent out of three and promised to settle the balance in a short time. He was formally ejected by removing the fire and a few chairs, and reinstated as caretaker until he should have cleared off the arrears. The party then moved along a narrow and badly kept road to the house of Catherine Murphy. While the Sheriff's party were going by the road Miss Reynolds and her enthusiastic followers, who were momentarily increasing, cut through the fields, cheering as they went and heeding little the sloppy passages they took. Miss Reynolds won the race and collared the son of the tenant, a man of 40 years of age. She told him not to pay any rent, and she would undertake to build him a house, and supply him with every comfort he has at present. He suggested "What about the land?" and she replied that he could as well live in the League house, and the land would be all right. This was said in the presence of the expedition and the people cheered most lustily, and jeered at Mr. Gladstone, who was close by. Murphy was so much carried away by the enthusiasm of his neighbors that he affirmed he would not pay a penny, though he had arranged with Mr. Payne half an hour previously to do so. There was nothing for it but to throw the household effects out on the street, and this the bailiffs did while Mr. Gladstone and Miss Reynolds stood within a short distance watching each other's movements. Miss Reynolds stared Mr. Gladstone out of face, but he did not run off. The crowd amused themselves by cheering for Parnell, the Land League and Miss Reynolds, and making observations about Mr. Gladstone which were neither polite nor edifying. The rain here began to fall copiously, and the party had to trudge half a mile before gaining the main road. The crowd continued their conduct all along, and on the road, while Mr. Gladstone took his car to drive away, the people cheered derisively. He was accompanied on the car by Mr. Warburton, Mr. Payne and two armed policemen. Miss Reynolds also drove into town, and on the way met another lady Land Leaguer (a Mrs. Moore), who returned with her, as the evictions were abandoned for the day. ## Column 3 ### The Trout and the Minks. Hartford Courant. Since the decline in the price of mink furs, these animals have been but little sought for or trapped, and the result is that they have increased to such an extent as to seriously impair the trout fishing, and in some of the small ponds and streams stocked with this fine fish they have been entirely caught out and exterminated by the minks. George Wright, of this county, has this season caught nine of these pests in the streams in this vicinity, the largest of which weighed three and a quarter pounds and measured twenty-seven inches from tip to tip. ### Free of Cost.
