The Tammany Democrat* met in Kow York a few nights ago to arrange th# preliminaries for the spring campaign. It is generally understood that th« primaries will be ran In the interest of "Boss" Kelly. In view of this the New York World **y* that "it useless and silly for democrat* to attempt to conceal from one another, or from any one else, the fact thai a formal reunion of the party is desirable. Why cannot such an union under the old Jeffersonian standard bo accomplished by Mr. Doveiin's committee as occupying a position of neutrality between Tammany Hall and Irviny Hall? The only serious and reasonable cause of difference now existing Is the proper organization, constitution, management ancl representation of the "primaries. Where the final outcome of the democratic county organ ixation shall be does not seem ta be of consequence, but it is of consequence that a reformed and reunited democratic party should find the real representative bead of its organization under the original standard of Tam many Hall. Every sensible and honest democrat, within as well as without Tammany hall as now constituted, knows per fectly well that there is not now a fair popular representation of the democratic masses—of the taxpayers and the tax eaters—in Tammany Hall.'*
Boss Kelley occupies a very curious position in the ranks of the Democratic party, and since his trouble at home he will unscrupulously do anything for his own interest. The New York World. commenting on Kelley's position says that "Mr. Kelley has never cared for the success of the Democratic party, except so far as that success might directly benefit John Kelley. When he considered that the advancement of the interests of his party was of no immediate and personal value to him he has been either indifferent or actively inimical to all that the party associates advocated and under took. John Kelley is quoted everywhere as the beat'possible axample of bodsism.' He is something moTfi than this. He is an intensely selfish man, and his petty revenges and schemes are more to him than all the world besides. It is not necessary, at this time, to discuss the question whether he was responsible for the defeat of the Democracy in this State, which was also tho defeat of Hantock in the Presidential canvass. But nobody who knows Kelly will for an instant doubt that if John Kelly could havechos en between his retaining the Comptrollerthip and tho election of Hancock, the Democratic candidate for President, would have gone overboard without a mo ment's hesitation."
Republicans can mako tip their minds for a succession of sweeping victories in New York, so lone as the "Ross" Kelly faction holds a good hand in the bi^ Democratic game..
Tun Republican members of the llli noia House of Representatives held a cau
in Springfield last night, and unanimously selected General H. H. Thomas, of Cook County, as their candidate for Speaker. All his opponents, recognizing his strength, withdrew from the contest and left him a clear field. No better choice could have been made1 Aside from the fact that Cook County is justly entitled to the honor. General Thomas is a man of distinguished ability, fairminded, an energetic worker, and peculiarly fitted to discharge the duties of Hn#»kar

WOSRY Air* RISE A SB, A# tit* mind makes tho body ft U»hablta, using for that pnrposi^ the materials it collects from the otiter world, so its influence over tho tenements it constructs is potent in the extreme. Every emotion it experiences exerts a direct influence upon some one or more of its corporeal organs. Fear injuriously affects the heart and the skin anger, the liver sorrow and anxiety, the digestive organs and the alimentary canal and passion, the blood-vessels extreme depression will induce dysentery and scurvy and Bichat, the great French anatomist, maintains that cancer of the stomach frequently owes its origin to powerful emotions. There Is a duly authenticated case of a man aged twenty-seven, who for two years was exposed to perpetual worry and anxiety of mind, and from whom his hair fell oiT literally in masses, so that he became completely bald, his very siyebrows and eyelashes having disappeared. Medical treatment proved unavailing but when his business troubles passed away, his hair came back again. An eminent physician says that ne has "known-the teeth to decay in an extraordiuary manner iflL a few weeks, as the effect of powerful emotion, more allied to fear than any other." Another states that a young man in Paris had a musket pointed at his breast he became suddenly deeply jaundiced, for which he was taken to a hospital, and died." Sir Samuel Baker tells us that when he was at Obbo, in Central Africa, "any severe action of the mind, iiuch as grief or anger, was almost certain to be succeeded by fever in that country." And it is a fact familiar, I suppose, to every medical man that numbers of infanta lose their lives owing to the deplorable ignorance on the part of their mothers of the influence of mental emotion upon the secretion of milk.
The fear of small-pox, cholera, the yellow fever, or the plague, has repeatedly induced one of these maladies in persons oppressed with the apprehension of it Even dropsy has been occasioned by terror. One of the most remarkable cases ot this kind is that reported by a hospital physieian at Narbonne, in Prance. A boy, aged eleven, a medioal pnpil, had lost his father, and imagined in a dream that he returned and embraced him, which rave the lad a great fright Next morning his abdomen was found to be distended like a balloon," and very painful and tender. "Mddicines having failed to remove the effusion, the surgeon drew off ten pints of clear fluia, the care being completed by local friction and diuretics."
I oould quote scores of similar flluse irations of the power of mental emotion to produce physical disbrder or disease but enough have been cited, perhaps, to sustain my position. But there is another side to Uie subject, vi*., the curative power of the emotions, for this is just as remarkable as their morbid influence*. Many persons will, no doubt, remember what Voltaire said about medical science, that "it is the art of amusing the patients, while nature performs the cure." But this is one of those half truths whieh pass current as whole truths, because they are wrapped up in an epigram, ana are flavored with wit The politic physician will do his best to amuse the mere malade imaaimtire, and will throw in a few bread pius and harmless tinctures in deference to her—for suoh pa&mts are usually women—in deference to her superstitious belief in the efficacy of physic but the philosophical practitioner who has reaJ invalids to deal with will do something more than amuse them, or than administer medicine. He will endeavor to restore their health of mind, to encourage hope, to inspire confidence, to dispel anxiety, to promote cheerfulness, to belittle the malady in the estimation of the sufferer, and to enlist on his side as medioal and curative agents the mental faculties of his patients. And he will succeed ia
as he does this. I have
one such practitioner in my mind's eye at this moment—a friend of two-and-twenty years' standing, to whom the obligations of my family and myself for this rational and beneficial kind of treatment arc such as cannot be canceled by a mere money payment and I am sure that his professional experience has been full of signal illustrations 9$ the power of the mind over the body in the psychopathic direction* I have iadicated. Man such illustrations are to be found In the medioal books aad they serve to explain the astonishing cures which hare often been effected by apparently the most, preposterous remedies. So wise a man as Bacon believed in snella aad *mniets, jC*to the Censor seriously reoordeda&t incantation for setting dislocated boiies and numbers of persons are reported to hare been healed of meorbutic affections by the imposition hands, from the time of Edward boofewor down to the days of Qtteea Am The grease of a roasted hedgehog was formerly regarded as efficacious for the removal of deaf Bess. A pickied herring, applied to the §oie& of the feet, was mid to banish ume,^A mouse, skinned, dried in oven, rednced to powder, and mixed with ale, was prescribed as a remedy for the whooping-cough.

on the table "for a lady who suffered from pleuro-dynia, saying, 'put this to your side*? ana how the patient literally did so instead of obtaining the prescribed plaster but, in srpiteof this mistake, derived great benefit from th« application. A parallel case of colic is mentioned by Dr. John Brown, of Edinburgh. He ordered a laboring man some medlefne, and giving him the prescription said, Take that, and come bark in a fortnight, when you will be well.1 As he returned at this time hearty and well, free from the^ colic and sinking at the stomach of which he had complained, and with a clean tongue, a cool hand and a happy face, lr. Brown was very proud of the wonders his prescription had effected, and said, Let me see what I gave you.' •Oh,' said he, *1 took if 'Yes, I know you did but where is the prescription *1 swallowed it* He had maoe pills of the paper, and his firm faith in the doctor's promise had done thereat" 5
With facts like these before us, aad with the individual experience of each of us to appeal to for their partial corroboration, I do not think there can be much doubt remaining in the minds of the most skeptical as to the potent influence of mental emotion upon our bodily health, by exciting, modifying, or altogether suspending various organic functions. We have it on the authority of one of the first psychopaths of the day that' 'pleasuroable emotions increase the amount of gastric juice secreted," the opposite effects being produced by depressing passions. Dr. Beaumont found in the man with the fistulous opening into the stomach that anger or other severe mental emotions wouid sometimes cause its inner or mucous coat to become morbidly red, dry, and irritable, occasioning at the same time a temporarv fit of indigestion." And I suppose it has been the misfortune of a good many of my readers to have eaten meals under the pressmro of great trouble or anxiety, and have felt how tasteless and Lunutrilious they were under such circumstances, and how the orpins of the stomach were altogether incapable of digesting and assimilating the rood then presented to t'jem. This, too, in a greater or less degree, is one of the injurious consequences of worry. It attacks the very foundation of health, and strikes at the root of our physical well-being.—Harper's Weekly.
Soaking the Ciethes.
WHETHER to soak the clothes over night or not is a much-disputed question with housewives. Where pure cistern water can be had, it is doubtless an advantage, but to soak clothes in hard water seta the stains rather than removes them, and river water, unless filtered when drawn off in quantities, as a rule, contains so much mud that it is apt to streak the clothes soaked in it for any considerable time. Wringers area blessed invention, on the whole, although hard on buttons. But flannels should not be passed through them, a* they rub the wool up into little hard naps. Clothes should, if possible, be dried in the sun and in the open air, and "never yet did a housewife notable greet with a smile a rainy washin day." But when Monday is rainy, is not always convenient to postpone the weekly wash. In that case, sheets and any other largo white pieces which are not to be starched may be hung out in the rain, which will bleach rather than injure them. If possible, hang the smaller pieces in an unused room up stairs, when the rest may usually be disposed Of by hanging at night on Hnes stretched across the kitchen, where the heat of the fire will dry them before morning. Blankets ought never to be washed in rainy weather. Sclect a bright summer day for the work, and let it be done and through with. Have two pfeople to wring them, and stretch and pnll them carefully when patting on the lines. Then pull and fold when dry, and put under press instead of ironing. Unless care is takep to sec that the clothes-pins and clothes-line are kept clean, ugly spots and streaks will result The lines should neve be left out over night, unless is necessary in order to dry them after being caught in a shower. In such ease they should be wiped with a cloth before the clothes are again hung on them. A. shirt-board for ironing is a necessity in rety well-regulated family. This should be covered with at l!,ast two thicknesses of blanket, and have the ironing-sheet, also double, smoothly pinned over it, 90 that it cannot slip. Keep wax tied up in a rag to rub on the irons. The polbh on collars, etc., done up at large laundries is given by means of a polish-in#-Iron a »d by dint of much rubHn, it may be done by any good laundress, but tak*4 much time and is fearfully hard on te linen. Spermaceti added
In small quantities to the starch gives a pretty gloss. If the clothes are not aired in the lauadry before bringing the ID up »tairft it should be thoroitehiy done before ther are put away. Hantie*a should never be worn withm the week after they are washed. The seeds of many a ual cwmimption or attack of pneumonia bare b«**» sowa by wearteir damp clothing. Every garment should be mended bsfore it is pat away. Buttons and strings may be sewed on at once, and the slagUi stitch, which taken in time saves nine, may a!sol»e set as the clothe# are sorted. Larger lobs of mending should be placed in a drawer or %a*ket fey themaelvea, And the work done as w»a as poa«it»le.
