THE DECATUR DEMOCRAT. BY A. J. HILL. Fri»ay, DecvEMBER 2,1881. - ■ I. . "-■== Giteau's mission to unite the Republican party has been a sad failure. The Republican bosses are laying the wires to control the next nomination. They do not want any more Garfields or any of his friends. —— The Nihilists arranged another plot to destroy the life of the Czar. They intended to load a baloon with dynamite drop it within the palace yard and during the panic caused by the explosion seize the CzajMnd family. The reporters make General Grant say some terrible bitter things about Secretary Blaine. The feeling among eminent stalwarts and half breeds is anything but pleasant. There are lots of clubs laid up ready to throw on both sides, when they will do effective work. • The London Times estimates the annual loss to the people of the United States, by reason of lack of shipping to do the carrying trade at $80,000,000. The larger portion of this loss is entailed upon us by reason of the exorbitant duties on steel and iron, and the laws which govern the transfer of foreign built shipping to the American flagmoxmoith items. BY "VIBE.’

Thanksgiving has come and gone without any turkey. Let not the printer complain. Reub Chenoweth is sick with typhoid fever. The dwelling occupied by Theresa Congleton caught fire one morning last week but was promptly extinguished by the neighbors. Miss Melissa McLaughlin who has been going to school at A alparaiso, for some time returned home last'week. Miss Aggie Fleming who has been sick with typhoid fever for some time is convalescent, and is able to return home in Allen county. Smith & Colter have their office completed and are doing a thriving business. Wm. McCambell, of Corydon, Jay county, has moved into the Lutheran parsonage, formerly occupied by Rev. D. F. Kain. Mr. Walters had a valuable penholder and gold pen stolen from his desk in the school house. The party is known, and unless returning the same or otherwise compromising the matter satisfactorily, he will stand a fine chance of becoming acquainted with some of our members of justice at the next session of court. Rev. Robert Douglas preached last Sunday at the Quaker church. The German Lutheran church has secured ths services of Rev. A. Berg, a missionary preacher of Little Rock, Arkansas. Mr. William Lord, of Paulding county, Ohio, was seen on our streets last week. Improvements in Progress. Messrs. Lind and Matheney are working like beavers to get their foundry ready for business. Their buildings are partially completed and will be finished with dispatch. They are setting up three lathes this week and will soon have a drill press ready. They expect to be able to do some work some time next month. The firm are sober industrious men, skilled workmen, and when they get ready for business will undoubtedly get all the work they can do. Henry Delks commenced on the foundation of four dwelling houses Tuesday. He proposes to complete them as soon as possible. More houses are very much needed to supply the demand.

Christen anu Goodsell are pushing up the walls of their engine room and will complete the same this week. They are also setting their engine and working on the foundation of their main building. Messrs. Moon and Christen commenced putting in the glass for the windows of the M. E. church this week. They will be delayed a short time in consequence of an error in the size of the small window frames. Workmen will soon be engaged in frescoing the walls and the entire work will be completed as soon as possible Temperance Notes.

There are three temperance organizations in Decatur at present, the re suit of H. L. Simon's work here, as '• follows; The Gleaners composed, of the lit t tie folks; 1 j The Young Peoples' Christian Tern- i perance Union, composed of young per- ' sons; The Women's Christian Temperance Union, which includes the older people. The Gleaners meet every Sunday at 4 o’clock, p. m. The Y. P. C.T. U. every Friday evening. The Women's C. T. U. every Sunday at 4 o’clock, p. m. • The organizations meet at the different churches alternately. Once a month they have a union meeting. The W. C. T. U. met at the Evangelical Church last Sabbath. Mrs. Dr. Hastings spoke bnefly modrately and with effect. She was followed by Rev. J- D Dustman, who thought the people should t ike more interest n tem/>er<nce matters; that public se«

tirneht should be aroused and arraigned in opposition to intemperance. Mrs. Dr. Holloway followed, rebuking some of the Christian people of Decatur, for indulging their children in games of cards at home: others for the use of wine at the table and fur guests. She wondered that parents with sons and daughters were not present. She thought they had used moral suasion long enough and was in furor of using every means in their power to stop the traffic in alcoholic liquors. Clinton Fisher closed with the suggestion that men should be employed to watch saloon keepers for violations of law with a view of prosecution. If this could be done, it would soon put an end to the business. The temperance lecture of Eli Johnson at the Court House, Monday night was the best of the season. He is an old veteran and has traveled extensively. He claimed that adulterated liquors are sold wherever stimulants are used as a beverage. That in France, Spain, Portugal. Germany, England, Ireland and Scotland it is the same old story; adulteration. He says malt liquors are adulterated or poisoned with drugs in brewing; wines of all kinds, brandy, gin and whisky, are all adulterated and made of poisonous compounds sold as essences. That these wines, brandies and whiskeys can be sold at a profit for twenty-five < ents a gallon. That more than the product of the entire world of brandy, and gin is sold in the city of New York alone. He claims that there cannot be an ounce of pure brandy, port wine or Holland gin bought in the I nited States. That the vast majority of liquor dealers .-ell. knowing it to be adulterated, while the few try to get honest liquor, but cannot, so long as the profits of adulteration arc so large. He presented the question of adulteration in a very able manner, and had

with him a large line of sample bottles of essences, bought on the continent, in England and the United States, with circulars frtm liquor dealers accompanying. showing that he made no idle assertions. The recipes are all nearly alike, composed of the most poisonous drugs. He is an orator, and presented the question in a very entertaining manner. Men Who Dig Their Graves With Their Teeth. A glutton is in many regards a monster, aud, if possible, more repulsive than a drunkard. The glutton develops in his habits more of the animal than the man who drinks excessively, and may be said to dig his grave with his teeth. A glutton is as devoid of reason as animals of the lower order. In sight of food he disregards all laws relating to health; his voracity obscures his judgment, and he falls a victim to his inordinate and unrestrained appetite. It is said that l 'a horse finding himself loose in his stable at night will seek out the meal barrel or bin—provided he belongs to an owner of the shiftless order, who leaves such things accessible —and gorge himseif to death, and this will occur without reference to the quality of the animal, whether he be aristocratic ‘blood' or the meanest scrub. A herd of fine stock, being driven to pasture when the surfaces are covered with the earliest grass in its season, must be cared for bv the watchful herds-

p man and driven from their banquet long lielbre it is finished to their satisfaction, or -a few hours of time will witness the death , agonies of the flower of the family, resulting from nothing but gluttony pure and - simple. Intelligent physicians say, and have always said, that the greater number of cases 1 of midnight attacks of sickness, as well as I the sudden deaths occurring between ‘sun and sun,’ and which seem so mysterious, 3 are the result solely of imprudence and r folly in eating and drinking during the , hours of the day.” Dr. Tanner’s fast has 1 shown men that by the exercise of the will 1 total abstinence from food is possible for many days, and it teaches all that it is well or men not to live by ‘ bread alone." In discussing abstemiousness as a cure-all. Dr. Perry, of Boston, is of the opinion that if a I’crson would find out just what his system raves, and what his digestive organs can leal with profitably and successfully, and take that food never in excess of these conditions. the medical fraternity would find a great part of their occupation gone, and declares that nine-tenths of all the pains and aches, the disorders, uneasiness, cardiac affections, melancholies, irregularities—call them or classify them as one may—result from overloaded, overtaxed digestive organs. A 200 pound man, doing a hard day’s work, mental and physical, every day w ill find that, with a bit of steak the size of his two fingers, a single slice of toast, and one cup of coffee or tea at a meal, ‘day in and day out’—reference is now made to quantity and not to kinds or qualities—he can do more work, keep upto the maximum his strength and general health, and actually increase constantly in buoyancy of spirits and freedom of bodily powers. The testimony is universal and absolutely uniform wherever this experiment is tried. Os course there must be a remedy for defective health, a foundation of soundness upon which to build the new structure of daily life ; but these will be more readily attained in conjunction with the practice ; of abstemiousness, and the reform itself , largely contains the condition of its own success.— lndianapolis Sunday Sentinel.

The Farmer in the Garden. There are but few farmers who will eon- s descend to work in their gardens; it is to a them beneath their dignity. “O! the t women attend to that; I’ve something else • to attend to.” Yet the foundation of good t farming is sooner and better learned there I than on the farm itself. Fine tilth, heavy I manuring, close and prompt weeding, adap- a tation of the laber to the demands of each a vegetable is but the commonest of garden c work ; but no farmer ever thinks that these i little things (apparently) are all that not t only makes a garden, but the farm also. < Every one upon hearing of any unusual s occurrence is at once eager for the particu- i lars —the little points which went to make I up the whole affair—in fact, the gist of the i matter. Now, too many farmers do their i work upon a grand scale—the little min- : utes are left out; why not leave out the i raisins, the sugar, the spice and the wine i from the mince pies? Why not slap together raw meat, coarse flour, a little grease and pass off the compound for a Christmas dainty ? The small matters so . much neglected among farmers are the principal causes of failure. It is a good rule that when yon have - finished a piece of work you should go over it once more for luck, it is the last lime with the harrow, the hoe, the spade or the manure-spreader which gives the artistic, scientific finishing touch to a job of work ; and it is like Peter Henderson’s t fifty-first load of manure per acre — that" the one that trebles the crops. ’" Gardening stamps this upon a farmer’s 1 mind. — Cor- G«T»a»tow» Tefegrop*.

Hall's Vegetable Sicilian Hair Renewer has the hearty commendation of thousands whose ‘‘turning locks' have been restored by it to their former beauty of color and growth. It is, in fact, a miracle in its way, even in this age of wondrous improvement—a fact to which every one who has given it* virtues a test will certify. The proprietors, R. P. Hall ACo.. are men of liberality and enterprise, who give the benefit of their discovery to the world at large, and have placed it in the hands of every druggist in the country,that its benefits may be extended alike to all. If there is the least suspicion of gray hair showing itself upon your head, go at once and procure a bottle of this celebrated Hair Renewer.— Carthage, N. K, Republican. Old Age. The brain in old persons, st the age of of 70, diminishes both in bulk and density, and thus becomes lighter. Its capacity for 1 continuous hard work is thereby lessened as really as is that of the body for muscu- ; lar labor. As an old man, however, has ths acetiaulated knowledge, skill and practical ex- | perience of almost a lifetime, and that won-i derful facility which comes of habit, he; may, with good health and care, do much of his best w ork in the neighborhood, say, of 80. He cannot bear mental strain, aud he' must not attempt mental “spurts," but be ' can still show himself a “workman that needeth not to be ashamed," Since, however, the brain is not so firmly supported by the skull, and is slighter in texture, the blood vessels are more easily ; dilated or raptured. The danger of paralysis and apoplexy is still further increased, because the blood vessels become in old age more or less ossified and brittle, and 1 thus nuable to sustain a sudden rush of blood. The aged should carefully abstain from every form of violent action, and, indeed, from every violent emotion The frill term of toil, whether in rearing and supporting children or in the service of the public, earns a right to what is the norma! physiological condition of age—freedom from all that annoys, perplexes, harasses, excites and burdens. — Youth) Comjtanion.

An Old Maid's Consolation The writer rallied a young lady friend some time ngo. and chaffed her upon being an “old maid.” Shereplied: I am now past thirty: I have a good name. 1 have been bridesmaid a score of times. I ask myself with which one of the beautiful girls that 1 have seen take the marriage vow would I exchange lots to-day ? Not one. Some are living apart from their husbands; some are divorced; some are now the wives of drunken men; some are banging upon the ragged edge of society, endeavoring to keep up appearances; some are toiling to educate and support their children, and these are the least miserable; some tread th* narrow line beyond the boundary of which lies the mysterious land, and some have -one out into its darkness and unknown jorrors, and some are dead. A few there are who are loved and honored wive* sad mothers, with happy homes; but, alas! only a very few.— The Paraion. Ax ExPERIHEbT INLHeMISTBY.—When the kind-hearted Isaac Hopper, a member of the society of friends, met a boy with a dirty face and dirty hands he would stop him and inquire if he ever studied chemistry. The boy, with a wondering stare, would answer no. “Well, then " said Isaac Hopper. “I wUI te«h th« how to perform a cunous chemical experiment. Go home, take a piece of soap, put it in water-rub it briskly upon thy hands and thy face. Thou hast no idea what a beautiful froth it Will make, aud how much whiter thy skin s will be. That’s a chemical experiment; 1 advise thee to go home and make it.”
