Smoke Through Your Mouth.

Tobacco smoking when carried beyond a certain limit injures the eyesight. It is also capable of destroying the sense of smell- Blowing the smoke through the nose hastens those results, especially so with cigarette smokers. A dryness of the throat and bach part of the nasal organ and a stiffness in the npse also restfH. , Besides these it threatens the hearing power- In some fpstapces the latter decline More otper unvote awnnSaa. .....

The following extract is from Judge Turpie’s recent great speech in the United States Senate on the force bill: Under this bill, nmoug other illicit provisions, the last sti p, the latest most important act, the certification of the result of congressional elections, is conferred upon certain appointees of the federal judges. This excludes the choosing pow. er of the people. Their pow c r i i abrogated, abolished. Pass’this bill and it is lost. It is true they may vote for certain persons as candidates for representatives, but the choice is made in such case not by them, but by the federal commission. It is true that under the provisions o' the fifteenth section of the senate substituted bill now here pending an appeal may be taken from the action of the federal board of canvassers—but to whom? To the people? To any offic rof the people?— No; but the judge, who may ”by reference to a master in chancery, or court commissioner or otherwise, determine the truth of the case.” All popular agencies and authority is'carefully ignored. The judge or master in chancery, some obscure scrivener or wholly unknown commissioner, not amenable or answerable in any way to the power of the State—these may choose a representative in Congress, but not the people. Very few republics have perished by external enemies; always have they fallen by internal foes working violence under the same pretext, the pretext of this bill, that there was reason to distrust the people; that they had not the capacity to conduct the elections and to administer the government; thnt somewhere in the country there must be found an authority, a power more worthy, better, wiser than that of he people. We do not subscribe to this creed. The man who does is already at heart an alien, infidel to liberty and to the fortunes of the republic. Everything new, at B. F. Fendig & Go’s.
