B0AD RKPAIRIKG.

T!:» lust Legislature made pome progress it! logisliiliou relnting to tbe yearly repairs to be mtule on onr roncie, but tbe right thing has not yet been done. What *ve want is to have road repairing divorced entirely from politics and put npon a purely business bar is. We want a system under which the roads will be all thii time kept in good repair at the smallest possible cs'St and to accomplish this, no butter plan can be deviled than one thut would require thf Cotiimiseioners to by off the roads into sections and l»t out the repairs to the lowest bidder fur a efries of years. Let the contract provide that the surface of the road su&H-bi' kept hard, smooth, aud so levelled !!i:d rounded up that no water will stumi on it ut auv point Such a coctniot system would not only insure smooth hard loads, the veir round, but would ultimalelv reduce the cost of repairs to the lowest po-'t-ible figure. 1 lie contractor would have a constant incentive to watch his rohd and keep it free of nils, chuck holes, and to keep it hard aud level, fur this would be the least expensive and burdensome method to .h:ui of kts ping the load in good condition. B-iicU-e, this syfetom would be no mere experiment. It haa been tried in many plact-e and found to work most siitiEtactorilv.

TliE REF£AL BILL.

As time und discussion proceed the p.isaage of the repeal bill becomes more ami more doubtful. Since Mr. CleveInnd. his letter to (bv. Northen, of (.ieorgin, dec'nring himself opposed to silver money unless all other nations will adopt it, there has been a rapid concentration of pnblic Eentiment against tbe policy ho is attempting to liiii 1 through Congress, and it begins to look «s though the silver rneo might com*- out on top vet. One thing is certain, the people of this country are not readv to adrpt Mr. Cleveland's views, nnd ii is growing more ana more doubtful that they ever will be. Some very strong gpaechee have been made in the .S *muo bj Democratic Senators, against Li3 polior, and it cannot be otherwise than thf 'hey will arouse a strongpubli-"* rPu niisnt among the masses, against tbe gold standard doctrine, which Mr* Cleveland is known to entertain with hospitality.

THE Louisville Courier-Journal is yet arguing in favor of the exploded doctrine of State rights. It BRye the people of the United States never m«de the constitution—that it was made by the 8uu»=, acting in their sovereign capacity. But the-constitution itself declares differently. It says: "We the people of tbe baited States do ordain this constitution," etc. Are we to behove the constitution or the Courier•Jutiriittl'! Which is the most reliable guide when there is a dispute between tho two?

0rro«Kii 9 will be Chicago Duy at the Fair and the executive committee pro p'ise celebrating the day by paying off every dollar of indebtedness. The InterOcean snys that 70 per cent, of the bonded debt haa already been paid, and with tbe money now on hand and that which is practically in eight the finance •itiiniUee sees its way clear to pay the remainder of the bonded debt and all o',h:.-r undisputed claims, amounting to a little over 81,900,000.

Notwithstanding Crawfordsville is the secor city of importance in tbe Eighth district yet Mr. Brookshire ig noret, this fact and wants 825,000 for a liuild'uga' Brazil. Why Brazil should he preferred to Crawfordsville is a mat ter that Mr. Brookshire must explain.

The Frankfort Cnscent thinks THE lot nv.u, is »B "illiberal and intolerant K"pnblicm print p.s could possibly be," while the Crawfordsville Star accuses it of being so liberal toward Congressman Brookshire and on such intimate terms with him that he makes all his appoint in»nt,H at its dictation. Until these two Demncriitcis worthies "get together' Tins JornsAj, is nnable to say "where it IS hi."

NAPOLEON'S SUCCESSORS.

Tho Two Zulu Princes Now in Exile at St. Helena.

a runUhiuoot for Insurrection the Koyal Barbarian* Wore Captnrcd and Ksllfd by Ttu*lr IJrltis»h Protectory.

Napoleon I5onapnrte. the Frenchman whose 'interestinfi' career was brought to an end by the Knelish at the battle of Waterloo, has two royal successors on the island of St Helena, where he was exiled und died.

They are Uinizul. the son and heir of Cetewayo. the Zulu lcimr. aiul I'ndabuko, brother of the same monarch. Iioth are victims of liritish arrofrance and disregard of the interests of other nations, and their treatment has been decidedly more unjust and overbearing than that of the distinguished Corsiean, says the New York World.

The Zulus are the finest race iti Africa, which is not very hitfh praise to bestow on a nation. Kider Hazard has made us fftmiliar with their moral and combative, qualities in his more or less reliable works. I nder insidious British influence, however, they begun some years ago to give up their fiphtingr habits and jjrew agricultural. They were encouraged to cross the boundary into the British colonics of ^'atal and work for the liritish and to resist the encroachments of the Boers of the Transvaal. In 1877, when a war broke out between the Boers und the Zulus, the British profited by the occasion to annex the Transvaal. A war with the Zulus followed. The English were defeated at first, but Sir Garnet Wolseley crushed the Z\ihis at tHundi. The English then reorganized the government of Zululand in such a way that there was incessant internal disturbance. Cct«\% avo visited London, where he was received everywhere in society, his frank and genial manners and his interesting ways at table making him a universal favorite.

It was finally determined by the English government to restore Cetewayo to his throne. Shortly after his restoration a chief named Zibebu led an insurrection against him. attacked him und wounded him In the night time, and killed manv of his followers. Cetewayo's people, the Csutus, formed an alliance with the Boers and defeated Zibebu. Cetewayo died soon afterward from the effects of his wounds.

After much disturbance Zululand was made a British colony. Zibebu then invaded the portion of the country reserved to the Csutus. The latter, feeling that they had been unfairly treated by their alleged British protectors, rose and were suppressed. Undabuko and his ward and nephew were exiled to St. Helena for ten years for taking part in an armed rebellion.

Both arc stout, well-grown men. and show high birth and breeding in their manners. European civilization has begun to affect thera. Already they have given up the native costume of feathers round the waist for one of trousers, coat and tall hat.

The climate of St. Helena obliges them to wear a blanket or some-heavy covering much of the time. The change from the fierce, dry climate of South Africa to one where the air is always full of moisture and the temperature ranges from fifty-seven to seven-ty-two degrees has been very disagreeable for the Zulu princes. It is doubtful whetflier they will ever leave their island prison alive. If they die their fate will be still more similar to that of Napoleon. They are very cleanly in their habits, but live by preference in the smallest and dingiest rooms of the house allowed them.

NEW CURE FOR HEADACHE.

Titpptae the Head with the Flagon Often til ves Temporary Relief. It is surprising to what an extent mechanical vibrations are now employed to act upon the morbid conditions of the sensitive nervous system, says the St. Louis Republic. DeBoudet. of Paris, has been able to produce local anaesthesia by conducting fine and exceedingly rapid vibrations half way up the roots of the teeth and to perform one of the most painfrl dental operations, that of extracting the living nerves from the teeth, without the patient feeling any pain. Charcot has successfully used the vibratory treatment for sick headache and for certain nervous diseases accompanied by pain, as well as certain mental conditions accompanied by depression.

A very Bimple form of this treatment is recommended by M. iJourdurki, of Moscow. While he was one day examining-* a patient who was suffering from an excruciating headache he used percussion of the cranium, just as is done for the chest, to ascertain whether any material lesion was perceptible. Two or three minutes after finishing his examination lie was greatly astonished to hear his patient say that the headache had completely disappeared. M. Dourdouki has since practiced this method with much success, especially in cases where there was no apparent cause for headache, or when it assumed the nervous form. The per eussion must be made lightly, with only one or two fingers, without producing any- unpleasant or too pronounced sensation, aud the intensity of the taps can be gradually increased. In this way a vibratory massage is administered, which is calculated to remove the distressing symptoms.

It is evident that in many cases thi relief can be only momentary, and the cause of the headache must then be discovered, in order that a cure may be elTcctcd.

Live Toad la a Hallatone.

A hailstorm visited Pawtucket, R. I., and caused plenty of excitement. One woman picked up' a large hailstone and allowed it to melt in her hand. She thought something was inside little piece of frozen rain, but was surprised to find when all had melted a little live toad or frog in her hand. There is a general belief that a great many pebbles came down with the hail.

Nervous Dyspepsia.

Senator James F. Pierce, ol New York, writes: "For the past two years 1 have suffered very much from an aggravated form of nervous dyspepsia. I have resorted to various remedial agents, deriving but little benetit. A few months since a friend of mine suggested the trial of Allcock's Porou* Plasters Following the suggestion, I liiive heen'usingthe same with the happiest, effects.

JUST THE POOR MAN'S LUCK.

I'SUHIIT the Pftrsoti Who Can't Afford It »cil« ArtlticUtl Limbs. "There are perhaps eight hundred thousand men in this country who need artificial legs or arms, and not more than one hundred thousand of these are supplied." It was a well known maker of wooden legs who said this to a New York Sun man. 11c was warding off anv appeal to his charity in behalf of a locomotive fireman who had slipped under his engine and bees badly crippled. "The fact is," he continued, "it is always the poor man who loses a leg or an arm, now that the war is over. -Excepting the crippled veterans who are kept supplied with legs by the government, nearly every man who loses a limb lias to have help to get a new one."

But while the number of pensioners on account of the war continues to increase with each increase in years since that time of carnage, there is little likelihood that the number of makers of artificial legs will fall off much in number. There are nearly two hundred of thera now. large and small, many of whom, having worked in one of the larger factories, set up for themselves and whittle out "timber toes" for unfortunates who cannot afford to buy one of the improved legs.

The science of making wooden letfs and arms has in recent, years almost supplied the place of the natural members that have been lost. There is almost no occupation now that is closed to a man on account of his crippled condition, and by the use of a rubber heel and toe it is made possible for a man to walk almost without perceptible impediment or limp in his gait. In fact, a man with both legs g-one can now preserve his equilibrium and walk about almost as well as any othe1- man.

The wood employed—wood being lighter and stronger for this purpose than any other material discovered— is willow or bass wood, and after it has been seasoned and carved into the proper form it is covered with rawhide and enamel to strengthen and finish it.

With artificial arms and hands a man may hold a fork, drive a horse, extend the arm at will and even write a fair hand. There is a case of a man who lost both hands and one foot, who now walks perfectly well and is able with his artificial hands to grasp light articles, open doors and feed himself.

A man with two artificial legs rides horseback and can mount aud dismount readily, and another man has even walked a mile in sixteen minutes and fifty seconds, to beat the wooden-leg record. Skating and bicycle riding are other accomplishments and enjoyments from which some men with artificial limbs are not debarred. It is is curious to note that, according to the tables of "percentages, farmers are the greatest sufferers. 17 per cent, of the cases of leg amputations being found in their number, while workers at the bench number 13 per cent., laborers S 1-2 per cent, and railroad men but 7 per cent.

Two Form of Dentil.

Tnere are two forms of physical death constantly going on in the world says the Vegetarian—molecular death and somatic death. The first is expressed in other words by saying that the whole of the body is constantly being worn out and being renewed. Every action that we perform, every breath we draw, and every thought we think, is each accompanied by the death of a certain amount of muscular or nervous tissue, so that molecular death is a necessary part of daily life. Sornatic death is the death of the entire individual, and is generally considered to take place at the moment of cessation of circulation and respiration. This is not an absolute test, however, as several well-known cases prove. Col. Townsend was a peculiar case of a man who could by the effc«t of his will voluntarily suspend these functions for a considerable time, while the continuation of the. circulation is sometimes so difficult to determine that even the eminent anatomist Yrsalius onfce opened an apparently dead body and found the heart still beating. A French author, Bruhier, in 1742, collected records of fifty-four persons who had been wrongfully supposed to have been dead.
