On Monday last ths State Senate decided on a vote of 86 to 28, that the amendment! were not constitutional before the present legislature for action. Benator HeoVer voted with the minority. This settlss ths question as to present action. In order to get them before the people, it will will be necessary to begin anew and have them In proper shape for the next legislature. We believe the action of the last legislature was a trick notwithstanding the professions of its friends.

The question as to tbs legality of the prohibition amendments In lowa, was reoently decided by the Supreme Court of that State adversely, the Court holding that an error la not recording the vote of the House vs Representatives made the whole business illegal and void. The same arror occured In this State, and Instead ol carrying the matter te submission that the Supreme Court might se* down on the work, the legislature has nipped it in the bud by declaring the amendments not const titionally be fore it for action. We find the follewlag item, going the rourd of the Bepubliea* paper*: Guitean, it will be remembered cursed tbe jury that eonvioted him. He prophesied te them all manners of evil, and people her* are commenting on the happenings to that jury since the trial. To-day .Thomas Hinlfne, who was a member of the jury, has departed this life. Anetber named Sheehen, has lost all bis proper iy, and is now a hotsl porter, Hinline died of heart disease, which was supposed to have been exaggerated on account of confinement in the Jury room.

The Washington correspondent of the Remington hews says in hie last letter: The second eveotls the bill for the attemr t to wipe out'the stigma that a score bf years has attached to the name of Fitz John Porter, which hae already passed the Senate, and if it can be reached during this session will probably pass the lower House. But will an aot of Congress bring back to him an untarnished name and place him in a position to be remembered with grateful rememberanoe by true, loyal country men? It should do that; and also thrust into oblivion and contempt the men whose envy, jealousy and ignorance has made Gen. Fitz John Porter tee soaps goat of old “head-quarters in the saddlo(?)” Pope, and those who relied upon him.

The Republican newspaper*, many of them being well posted .on onrrent topics, are generally opposed to the present tariff system. The New York Times, one of the leading Republic can papers of the country, has dlls to say relative to tariff reduction: “If the Republican party is to assume the responsibility for any sueh mens* ures as that of the Ways and Means Committee, It is to be earnestly hoped that the modification will be radical. Even an estimate redaction of ouatom receipts to the amount of #*s.000,000 will cover the knavery which is imbedded in every schedule of the tariff revision presented by Mr. Ke L ly and his colleagues. It retains or intensifies every bad feature of the Commission Bill, and retains but few of Its good ones. Bettsr the tariff as it Is than any such dsssp* tion and dishonest revision. Its pas •age would be a misfortune to the country, and an act of political suicide for the party."

NEWSPAPERS

In the Christmas edition of the Pe* ra Sentinel, Her, J. Martin, fermerly rector of St, John’* Ipisoepnl Church in this eity, had a very latereating article upon -Hewepapere* It was most replete with goed things, In one place, in speaking>f the press the reverend gentleman says. ‘The pulpit, the platform, the seheole, the universities and every iaetitutien for the dorelopemeatef theught and the dissemination of knewladge are not equal to it in power. Thoro are no iueitutions, nowever strong, and ancient, which the united anergiea ean not overthrow: Wepoleon declared that a newspaper waa the regent of sovereigns and the tntor of natfone, and that four hostile newspapers are more to be dreaded thsa a hundred thousand bayonets. Thd hrlUlaat and sagacious Sheridan said: me the llherlty of the pres.** * and I will shake down from Ita height oorruptfsn. b.t, It »»td th» a s t he abases It meant to ahel-

Qvornra as" a Cause ox Isswnrr.— The American tfedical Weekly says: The father of a Washington lawyer guilty of esoapedes has recently given the following explanation of the erratic victim: “Thinking it a thing to do, mjrson has been in the habit,for moo ths carrying quinine la bis pocket, and taking it in small but frequent doses, and the result is an elated, sanguine state of mind, quite beyond the bonds of reauon. His memory is not impaired, and the ■narked Improvement already conse3 aent upon being deprived of tbe rug, gives his friends reason to expect complete restoration in a short time. Meanwhile, let this case be one of many others to teach us all that,* excellent as quini: e may be in many eases, it is like chloral or opium or alcbol, exceedingly dangerous to trifle with.” The question which naturally arises in tbe miud of the physician, on reading this, is whether quinine has been reported as causing iusanity, There are at least two oa>eaon record, both of them repur ted in the Journal of nervous and Mental Diseases, July, 1881. In both, insanity always followed up ‘he use of qutniue, and from the cu&taoter of the two reported oases it eeems cetalo that in some prediposed cases a brief, curable insanity may follow upon the use of quiuine.

The amusing anecdote is related as a fact by the minister who was a to it, that immediately after 7 tie capture of New Orleans, Gsneral Butler was informed that an eminent Episcopal divine of that city had emitted from bis service the usual prayer for the President of'the United States, and had substituted Preshlent Davis, of the Confederacy. This incensed the General, and he at oace sent one of bis sergeants to command tbe presence of the offending minister, and after noting his offsnse. demanded that he should correct the service in the future. Tbs minister, who was aad is a native of Yirginia, and a most pious gentleman, frankly admitted * that it was impossible for him to “conscientiously” comply with the General’s de*. taand ;that,as he was a friend of peace and ready to submit, in all proper humility, to the powers, he would agree to omit in the future Mr. Davis aud the Confederacy. General Butter rose to hi* feet with stern command ia his face and language said: “Do you see those wat vessels out yonder in the harbor and those armed soldiers around my ioor? “Yes, sir,” replied the divine, with due humility, expect! g the next moment to be sent aboard ship by the* conquering tyrant as a captive slave. But his fears were at once dispelled, as the General, grasping him by tbe nand, with a broad grin upon his face, said: “Well. Brother P„ you go on and preaoh aad pray for whom you d—n please, and these big guns and brave soldiers will take oire of President Rinoola and the United States.” Tbe two afterwards became good friends. The General frequently attended the services of tbe minister while commanding in New Orleans.

FACE POWDERS.

It is necessary t o raise a warning ery against a most mischevious statement which has reoently been circulated, and has already done harm, to the effect that "arsenicin small do aes is goed for the complexion.” It is not difficult to imagine the risks women will iaeur to preserve or improve their "good looks.” tfo more ingenious devioe for recommending a diug cen be hit upon than that which the authors of this most baneful prescription of “arsenic for ihe complexion” have adopted. Suffice it to recall the fact that for many years past chemists and sanitarians have been laboring to discover mt ans of eliminating the arsenical salts from the coloring matter of wall papers, and oertan dyes, once largely used for certain articles In clothing. It is most unfornate that this hopelessly antagonistic recommendation of arsenic to improve the complexion should have found its way into print. Those who employ the drug as ad vised -there are many either already using it or contemplating tbe rash sot— will d* so at their peril. So far a« they are able, however, it will be the duty of medical men to warn the public against this pernicious practice, which is only too likely to be carried on secretly. It is not without reason that that w* speak this pointedly, and urge practitioners to be on the qui vive in anomalous or obsoure cases.—Lancet.

AGE OF THE EARTH.

The age of the earth is placed by soime at 500,000,000, by others at 1000OOU.OOO of years, and still others of, later times, among whom the Duke of Argyie, place it at 10,000,000 years. None place it lower than 10,000,000, knowing what process have gone through. Other planets go through the same process. The reason other planets differ so much from the earth is, that they are in a much earlier or later existence. The earth must become old. Newton surmised, although he gave no reason for it that the earth would Jn time loose all its waters and become perfectly dry. Since then it has been found that Newton was correct. As the earth keeps cooling it will become porous, and great cavities willjbe formed in the interior which will teke water. It is estimated that this process is now in progress, so that the water diminishes at about the rate et the thickness of a sheet of writing paper each year. 4-t this rate, in 6,000,000 years the water will have sunk a mile, and ia 15,000,000 years svsry trase of water will have disappeared from the globe. The aitrogen and oxygen In the atmosphere are also diminishing all the time. It le la an inappreciable degree, but the time will oome when tke air will be so this that no orsaturs we know of eould breath it and live; the time will come when the earth eannot support life. That will both# period of old age, and then will oome death.—Richard Proctor.

Bishop Sheney, at Christ Fpisopal Chareh, in Chicago, said: “Out of that seething hell at Mllwauke the ether day, two heroes, with a frail ladder spanning the ohasm of death, eared twenty women. Think you these wemen will ever lee the day when they will be ashamed to oonfsse that those brave fellows rescued (hem? How mueh more should you confess Christ, who has said, he that eonlessea me will I confess before my father in heaven. ” Jefferson Ulery has been arrested on two indiotments, charged with blowing up saloons at New Palestine with dynamite. That town has been the soene of four dynamite explosions and every seloon that has been opened has been klowed up. Ulery, has been placed iu jail at Greenfield,

HON HORACE HEFFREN.

Mobs Remimibcejnces CoKCßssrisa His Cabee*. All About thi Famous Heffbeh- * Moody Duel ox i»81. . , It seems that in the regular session of. the Legislature O 1861, Alt, Hetiren, in tbe course of a heated political debate, Severny denoui ced and finally stigmatised as a coward one Gideon C. Moody, then representing Jasper aud Pulaski counties’, afterward a Colonel in the Ninth luuiaua Moody, a small man in stature aud light in weight, knowing his physical inability to cope with an antagonist who tipped the beam at nearly 200 pouuds, in a personal encounter, yet smarting under the insult, challenged Hetiren to fight a duel. The challenge.was accepted, and seconds being cho-en (Moody calling upon his friend Hubert H. Milroy, then practicing law at Rensselaer, to act in the capacity for him) the party set. out on bora'-back lor Kentucky, followed by a squad of reporters, who, ju turn, as they neared the Elate line, were followed by an increasing crowd of curious countrymen anxious to w itness the bloody-affray. Safely on the Keutucky side, fleffren, when calb-d upon to make choice of weapons—being the challenged parly —instead oi choosing pistole, aud to tbe astonishment ot Moody’s second, chose rifles weighing thirty pounds. Aware of the disadvantages under which Moody would labor iu attempting to fight .with such weapons, Milroy promptly refused to agree to their u-c, and demanded that Hetiren make a further selection. Alter some delay Heffren’a second »epo; ted that, he was willing to fight with broadsword s! Here again, because of the disparity iu size of the two principals, the oiler was promptly rejected. Hefiren refused to make a choice of auy other weapon, which so enraged Milroy that he sent a message back to Heffrcn, by his second, telling him that he was a miserable coward, and that he (Milroy) would lake Moody’s place now and tight him (Heffreu) with either broadswords or thirtypeund rifles, or even bowie-knives, if he chose. Milroy, in size and physical strength, was the equal of Heffren, hence that gentleman very wisely refused the offer, saying that he had no quarrel with Milroy, and left for InJiaua without fighting a duel, much to the disgust of the zealous reporters and excited countrymen.—Delphi Journal.

The above is given in extenso as a sample of Republic&u jeurualism of these tunes. A more bare-faced tissue ot falsehoods could not be put in print. All the letters that passed between tbe seconds in this affair were published at the time in Cincinnati and Indianapolis newspapers, and they present u history of the case entirely at variance with the statements of the Delphi Journal. The facts as gathered Irom the correspondence of the ‘‘seconds,” and of some gentlemen who were personaliv cognizant of all that transpired, are simpij these: When Mr. ileffren received a note from Moody asking where, outside ot the -state, a further communication would reach him, be handed it to hi i next fnqnd and forthwith took a train for Cincinnati. Mr. Moody was in due time informed that Mr. Heflren would be pleased to receive a lurther communication from him at the Buruatt House Is tho city above mentioned. Oa the following day, which was Saturday, the expected challenge came and was promptly accepted. The weapohs selected by Mr. Heflren were rides, the place a well-known valley about eight miles southeast of Covington, in Kentucky, and the time the following Monday morning at sun-rise. It then became the duty of Mr. Heffren’s second to produce the guns, from which Mr. Moody should choose the one that best pleased his fancy. The rides presented weighed fourteen pounds each, but Judge Milroy, on behalf of Mr. Moody, peremptorily refused to accept either ot the weapons on their weight. Two twelve pound rifles were then supplied, of same make and caliber as the heavier guns, with offer to Moody that he should select one of the four, leaving Mr. Heflren to choose from the three that would remain. 'This offer was refused because as is alleged, the heavier] gun which Mr. Heflren would select mignt carry a bullet (sixty yards) more steadily than the lighter rifle which woulu be selected by Moody. These concessions on the part of Mr. Heflren were all in violation ol the rules of the “code,” but he was dctelmined that Moody should be accommodated; so he agreed that Mr. Moody should take one of the light rifles and he would take the other. To the utter astonishment of Mr. Heflren and his friends, an answer then came back that Mr. Moodv would not accept any of the terms offered by Mr. Heflren, but that HeffreD must take one of the light rifles offered and that Mr. Moody would use a gun of his own, which turned out to bo a sort of a hybrid between a shotgun and a rifle, with aj caliber that would accommodate a ball weighing over an ounce. It was at this point, that Mr. Helfreu’s second advised hini to publish Moody as a coward and return to Indianapolis. Judge Milroy spoke privately to Mr. Heflren’a second about taking th# light upon himself, but he made no formal proposition to do so. Air. Heffren was unwilling that Moody should have even so slight a pretext for getting out of a fight which he bad challenged. An answer was therefore dispatched to Mr. Moody that he would be at liberty to make use of his own gun and that Mr, Heflren would accept the rifle selected for him by Mr. Moody.

The Monday morning came, with rain and thunder and lightning, and the Kentucky clay was half way up to the horses’ knees; but the carriage containing the Heffren V-arty arrived upon the ground selected for the combat at the appointed time and impatientiy waited until alter 9 o’clock for Moody and his friends. — Final 1 v the latter party arrived, Mr. Moody looking as if he had just arisen lrem an attack of typhoid fever. h e was accompanied by General Fitch and Major Terrell, the latter of whom informed Mr. Heffren’s second that to force Moody to fight would be nothing but murder, and begged that he be "let down’ as easily as possibie. Accordingly a letter was dictated lor Moody by Mr. Heffren's second, in which Moody retracted the offensive language which had provoked Mr. neffren’s retort, upon winch Mr. Hcffreu’s retort fell to the ground, whereupon Moody withdrew his challenge. Those who were of Mr. Heffren’s party, and especially his second m the affair, most positively assert that he (Heffren) was ready and more than willing to flghtfrom first to last, and came home deeply chagrined that the as fair had to end in a fiasco. —Indianapolis yentinel. v v >

TO CURE COLD FEET.

The Philadelphia Ledger says: People who write Or sew all day, or rather those who take but l}ttle exercise, nu y warm their cold feet without going to the fire. All that is necessary is to stand erect and very grad ually to lift one’s self upon the tips of the toes, so as to put all the tendons oa tne feot at full strain. This is not to hop or jump up and down, put to simply rise—the slower the better—upon tip toe, and to remain standing on the point of tiif tos as long as possible, then gradually coming to a natural position. Repeat, this several times and, by the amouut of work the tips of the to»3 are made to do, iu sustaining the body’s weight a sufficient and lively circulation is set up. Even the half frozen car drivers can carry this plan out. It is one rule of the "Swedish movement” system; and as motion waipith is much better than fire warming, persons who suffer with cold feet can try this plan just before retiring to rest.” A Nevada penitentiary convict says that he was sent to prison for being dishonest, and is there kept at work euttiDg out pieces of pasteboard to put between the aeles of honest leath-

How it was Dane.

* Kissing As A Cube Fob Ebfokuss. —Om* fine rtenieg recefitly Mir. 8.. a Government employe in rtie tiwu of i Bruno j was takiug a Walk in,the cas tie ground*, when on reaching a less frequented portion of the park b‘e saw a youny lady coming in the opposit direction. A* they were about to ra e each other, the young lady tun • ed toward Mr. B, threw her. arms around hfs neck and kissed him; thep. as if ashamed of what she had done, she covered her face with her hands, and. ran off as fast as she could. The gentleman, unable to kcoonnt for this agreeable surprise, fela lowed the young lady, and, ta ing her by the atm, asked for an explain ation of hrr strange procedure. “1 beg a thousand pardons,'* was tbe reply of the Llushing damsel; “you must be guatly shocked at my behavior. I had been to oonsqlt a “wise woman” as to the best means of charming away the freckles on mv face, and she advised me to kiss the first gentleman I met and they would be sure to dDuppear.” The couple continued their walk together, and though we are nor told whether! he siugular remedy proved efficacious or not, it may Interest the reader to learn that not many days afterwaid the two were joined.together for bets ter or for worse.

WHY SHE STOPPED HER PAPER. ' She came bouncing through the sanctum room like a cannon ball, and without pausing to say "How d’ye do?" »be brought her umbrella down with a mighty crash and shou ed: “T want you to to stop my paper.” "AH right, madam.”

•■Stop it right off, too,” she persisted, whacking the table again, “for I’ve waited long enough for you to do the square thing. She quieted down for a moment as we ran our finger down the list of names, and when we reached her’.-» and seratc ied it out, she said:

“There! Now, maybe you’ll do as you’d oughter after, this, an J not slight a woman cause she’s poor. If some rich folks happen to have a little red headed, bandy-legged, squint eye(|*wheeisy squawler born to them you puff it to the skies, you mak* it out an angel, but when poor people have a oaby, you don’t say a word about it. even if it is the squaresttoed, blackest haired, biggest-head-ed, nobbiest little kid that ever kept a woman awake at ’bights. That’s what’s the matter.” And she dashed out as rapidly as she came in.

Papa’s pretty gruee: It is a mistake to ask a precocious child to show oft before company. A gentleman who was dining with his family at a friend’s table, where a number of invited guests were present, had a bright little daughter, who as soon as the host Dad asked grace saidjthat’s a pretty grace, but that isn’t the way, my papa says it.” “And how does your papa say it?” asked the host, expected to hear one of the L right replies for which the child was lamous, while the rest of the guests echoed, “Yes, tell us how papa says grace." The unhappy father could not reach her, and she said, sweetly: “Why, when he comes iotojditmer he l.ioks at mamma and says; Well! this iS a h—l of a meal to set # before a a white man?”

TRUE Temperance Is not signing a pledge or taking a solemn oath that cannot be kept, because of the non-removal of the cause —liquor. The way to make a man temperate is to kill the desire for those dreadful artificial stimulants that carry so many bright intellects to premature graves, and desolation, strife and unhappiness into so many families. Itisafact ! Brown’s Iron Bitters, a true non-alcohol-ic tonic, made in Baltimore, Md.,by the Brown Chemical Company, who are old druggists and in every particular reliable, will, by removing the craving appetite of the drunkard, and by curing the nervousness, weakness, and general ill health resulting from intemperance, do more to promote temperance, in the strictest sense then any other means now known. It is a well authenticated (act that many medicines, especially ‘ bitters,’ are nothing but cheap whiskey vilely concocted for use in local option countries. Such is not the case with Brown's Iron Bitters. Itisamedi"cirie, a cure for weakness and decay in’the nervous, muscular, and digestive organs of the body, producing good, rich blood, health and strength. Try one bottle. Price #I,OO.
