Our esteemed evening contemporary, the Gazette, is considerably exercised over the enforcement of the Sun day closing law and -wants some one to see that no one transacts any business on that day.

The bill appropriating $10,000,000 for five years to be apportioned among the states according to the population ten years old and upward who cannot read and write is set down as a special order in the house, at Washington, for Saturday, and will, without doubt pass that body. The money is to be turned over to the governors of the states, and is to be disbursed, by the officers thereof, and will be absolutely controlled by the states. It is a big appropriation, but if wisely expended will be none too large. It is rather an investment and will bring ample dividends under proper management. While it is true that the bulk of the ap propriation will go to the south by reason of the colored population, yet there is a very startling proportion of illiteracy in many of the northern states.

"A wise man counts the cost before he begins to build." So goes the familiar saying. An excess of wisdom causes the wise man to add a third to the result of his count. It is almost invariably the rule that building costs more than the outside' figures estimated, and when it is the work of the public there is no exception to the rule. The state house contractors have discovered that they will be in the neighborhood of one million dollars short if they carry out the accept ed plan for tho capitol. A legislative committee is now inquiring into the merits of their plea for additional appropriation and on the report of this committee the general assembly will have to decide whether the con tractors are to be allowed anything in addition to the limit of $2,000,000 fixed for the cost of the structure. The legislature should be very cautious in acting on this matter. We do not want any scandal of a "state house job" to mar the beauty of the building when completed. And it is equally true we do not want the scandal of a half completed capitol, boxed up as it were, for the lack of an appropriation to carry on the work to the end.

FLON-PLON.

In Prince Napoleon, the youngest son of that Bonaparte who was divorced from the Baltimore beauty to marry a German princess, can be discovered the lineaments of the great Napoleon and the ambition of all the Bonapartes. A French wit once said he was a good copy of the first emperor dipped in German grease. His likeness to his great-uncle and the possession of the name are an inheritance, though somewhat shadowy, possible to be very tangible in a country like France, whose greatest glory and proudest trophies are Napoleonic. Yet this Jerome Napoleon who was designated in the line of succession by a decree of 1852, has never openly said or done much to show the ambition ho is suspected of. With all his family he was shut out of France until the return of Louis Napoleon, and when his cousin, that very doubtful nephew of

-I'**'/"* v*"

S *.

r^ r,

his uncle, ruled, the prince was a thorn in his side. He married the Italian Princess Clothilde, and quarreled ever after. He was not then the friend of religion, we discover in the late proclamation, but his unclerical views were the distress of Clothilde, as well as some of his practices, which were common to the family. He knew the value of glory, and with Lieut. Arnand and Canvobert, led the French contingent to the Crimea, but he backed out before the war was over, and returned to Paris, dubbed with the derisive nickname of Plon-Plon. There was enough danger in him for Thiers to have him escorted to the borders of France in 1872 with a request to stay out. That there is a faction which secretly works for the restoration of the Bonapartes and another for that of the Bourbons is as true as that still another feeds the secret fires of communism. As we view the insidious advances of the first and second Bonapartes and consider the rapid changes of that part of the French population which fills the mobs and mans the armies, and realize the danger of a standing army which may be moved by any faction that controls the government, there does not seem reason to laugh at the claims of the French pretenders. Napoleon the iirstwasa republican, Jacobin, citizen, consul, emperor, and Louis was democrat, legisltator, president and emperor, Like the last of to-day they reverenced the

plebiscite

but they secured

the prize usually in advance of the vote. There never was a Napoleon who appeared to doubt he was working for the people when he climbed a throne or seized a crown, and there never was one who was not a master of duplicity and falsehood. The one who died at Chiselhurst was so much so that he used guile when candor would have been wiser. Prince Napoleon with his handsome Corsican face, which must have annoyed his cousin who had not a sign of his boasted scent, played the republican thirty years ago to win the people he played the soldier, but playing at soldiering always failed he now has pretended devotion to secure that religious element which has been offended by the present government, and it would not be strange if the improved relations with his wife did not hinge upon Italy's aid. Crafty Bonapartes who play fora great empire! It is a glo rious stake and who can wonder that it seems ever in reach when we remember in our own life-time, the wandering Louis, the needy adventurer, the special policeman in London, the crazy masquerader at Boulogne, the prisoner for life at Ham, and the emperor— one to whom was denied intelligence, courage and birth-right. Prizes often come to one who knows how to waitwho confident in himself does not move but waits for the world to turn around. But the mills which grind so slowly and so small are gradually turning to dust the Bonapartes, Orleans' and Bourbons. Time destroys the glamour of the greatness they hide behind and will fulfill the dictum of Napoleon who said Europe must be Cossack or Republican—the Cossack has not gained upon the world as yet.

What Shall Be Done?

To th* Editor of the Express. SIB: It is a saying, do good on New Year's day and you will keep it up the year round. I will therefore devote this day to the public. Not that I desire to appear in print, but that it ought to be said of every one that the world is better that that man lived

I have hitherto voted the Whig and Republican tickets, but I am no admirer of party unless based on clearly defined principles—antagonizing the opposing party. In any other sense I look upon party as tho most corrupting element in our government. If party could be dispensed with members of congress would be held to a stricter responsibility. Its machinery chokes and smothers the voice of the people. Even the press reluctantly admit criticisms adverse to its own party. It is a formidable barrier to reform.

The time has come in which finelyworded platforms of dubious meaning will up longer satisfy the people. It must be an unmistakable step forward in the right direction to command success.

Stop paying the principal of the public debt. We leave our wealth and accumulations to our prosperity. They will be better able to pay that debt than we are. We have demonstrated our ability to pay it. Why should not we then for the present put this burden aside?

Sweep away the entire internal revenue system, with all its spies and detectives, its undiscovered frauds, its lawsuits, its butcherings. Every gallon of whisky screened from taxation pays a jrofit of some five hundred per cent. Is any wonder then that frauds discovered and undiscovered should be numerous? The temptation is too strong for weak human nature. Members of congress ought to know this. They made 100 per cent, only in voting for the salary grab, while here is a pressure of 500 per cet. "A certain 10 per cent.," says an English political economist, "will insure the employment of capital anywhere. Twenty percent, will produce eagerness. Fifty per cent, positive audacity. One hundred per cent, will make it readv to trample on all humaa laws. Three" huudred per cent, and there is not a crime at whieli it will scruple, nor a risk it will not run even to the chance of its owner being hanged." What has occurred here in collecting this tax sustains the posi­

•'j

tion of the economist. Spirit detectives are essential to the collection of this tax. Is it wise policy to hold out such strong allurements to the cdmmission of fraud? Many of fair standing have fallen by the way side and been ruined. Many poor families use more or less whisky as a tonic and for bitters. It is besides an indirect tax on the farmers' corn.

I question the necessity of continuing our military and naval schools except for practical gnnnery and seamanship. Let those who wish to engage in the military or naval service educate themselves. Pay sufficient to command the requisite qualifications. Make your examinations as rigid as the service requires. When the term of service expires let them take their place beside other citizens standing en equal footing without any half or full pay, unless disabled in the service of their country. There are many ways they can provide for old age if they choose to save their money. It they do not choose to save their money, we ought not to be taxed for their support. The same views are applicable to the civil service.

There has been much just complaint that greenbacks cannot be taxed as other *x money.^ Congress has long known the use that capitalists and moneyed men have made of this excaption, lifting a tax from their own shoulders and placing it on those of the laboring poor. This is an unpleasant feature in the omission of that legislative body. The remedy is by no means difficult. If a direct act will not effect it, a prospective one will. This money could in a short tinie be passed through the hands of officials, and stamped on each note, "taxable." Holders of these notes could be authorized to do the same thing. Urlien passed through the hands of officialsat Washington, a record should be kept for the purpose of comparison.

Has not the time gone by when government securities (held by individuals as investment) should be exempt from taxation This is a government of the people, for the people and by the people. It is not possible for the states to prevent the sale of government bonds. If it were possible it would be for one of the best reasons in the world, that they ought not to b« sold. The machinery of the general and local governments is far from being perfect. Fraud and embezzlement are still committed to a frightful extent. We want the watchfulness, virtue and intelligence of every citizen to aid in preventing these abuses. No one should be able to say—I have purchased an exemption from local taxation. Your reckless expenditures do not affect me.

If the present tariff is not sufficient for the revenue there is tea and coffee. To this, if needed, a graduated income tax would supply any deficiency. The latter tax could be collected through state agency, with little additional cost. Few taxes are more humane and equitable. It lessens the burdens of the unfortunate, who may in time change places with the fortunate.

The present salaries were adequate on a paper basis when gold was at a large premium and the cost of living comparatively high. No sophistry could disguise a reduction in this line. In other words, it would stand out in bold relief.

Now is the golden opportunity for congress to secure reform, and it may be the job of that party which preserved the integrity of the union. Should the Democratic party succeed at the next presidential election, reforms may be long deferred. The love of fat offices and fat jobs appears to be inherent in human nature. And, however much some of the leaders of that party may desire reform, the following will be too strong to be resisted. B.

The Heads of Great Men,

Journal of Science. It is usually supposed that men of great intellectual powers have large and massive heads but the theory, which Dr. Gilbert, physician to Queen Elizabeth, was the first to suggest, is not borne out by facts. An examination of busts, pictures, medallions, intaglios, etc., of the world's famous celebrities almost tends the other way. In the earlier paintings, its is true, men are distinguished by their large heads, but this is attributable to the painters, who agreed with the general opinion and wished to flatter their sitters. A receding forehead is mostly condemned. Nevertheless, this feature is found in Alexander the Great, and, to a lesser degree, in Julius Csesar. The head of Frederick the Great, as will be seen from one of the portraits in Carlyle's work, receded dreadfully. Other great men have had positively small heads. Lord Byron's was "remarkably small," as were those of Lord Bacon and Cosmo di Medici. Men of genius of ancient times have only what might be called an ordinary or everyday forehead, and Herodotus, Alcibiades, Plato, Aristotle, and Epicurus, among many others, are mentioned as instances. Some are even low browed, af Burton, the author of "The Anatomy of Melancholy Sir Thomas Browne, and Albert Durer. The average forehead of the Greek sculptures in the frieze from the Parthenon is, we are told, "lower, if anything, than what is seen in modern foreheads." The gods themselves are represented with "ordinary, if not low, brows." Thus it appears that the popular notion on the matter is erroneous, arid that ttiere may be great men without big heads in other words a Geneva watch is capable of keeping as good time as an eight day clock.

The Exposition Building, The purchase of the main exposition building at Philadelphia by Mr. B. Mitchell for $97,000 was a successful speculation. The cost of removing the huge structure and other expenses amounted to about $100,000, and the materials of which it was built have been sold for about $500,000, leaving profit of $300,000 to be divided among Mr.'Mitchell and five other gentlemen whom he associated with himself in the enterprise. At the time of his purchase Mr. Mitchell was frank enough to say that he fully expected to make a large sum of money by it, that he was prepared to pay considerably more for the building than the price at which it was knocked down to him, and that he was astonished that Mr. Richard Dobbins, who built it, and was as well acquainted with its value as himself, should have let such a pretty plum slip through his fingers.

An Eastern Shore Lover's Casei Saulsbury Advertiser. A young man living a few miles from here went to see a lady he had been paying attention to for some time without having had courage enough to make known his devotion in words. After sitting a few minutes he tremblingly said: "I'd like to see you a few minutes." She replied: "Dave, '.I've got no words for you, anyhow." The poor fellow was so crushed that he fell on the floor in a convulsion and was taken heme in that condition. Fit after fit followed, and at the last account we received he was still in a critical condition.

The doorstep not only has inscribed on it the name of Nebuchadnezzar, but also mentions his health or restoration to health. The doorstep may thus have been a votive offering.

CAUSE FOR APPREHENSION.

Why Mysterious Physical Trouble* Arouse Special Dread—A Professional Experience.

Few things give more pain than dread or apprehension. Most people are able to face apparent danger heroically, but the sudden and unexpected coming of some indefinite calamity very naturally strikes terror to even the bravest. For this reason lightning and tornadoes are considered terrible their coming and going are so sudden, unannounced and unknown. For this same reason an unknown disease, some poisou in the blood, some malady that is gradually undermining the life, is specially dreaded by all thinking people. And, indeed, there are good reasons for such dread, for modern science has discovered that some virulent disorders show the least signs in their beginnings, while they have the worst po8sible symptoms. We know of many persons who have dull and uncertain pains in various portions of the body who are unnaturally tired one day and apparently well the next who have an enormous appetite at times and a loathing of food sfoon thereafter. Such persons are really in a dangerous condition, even though they may not realize it. The following statement of a most prominent physician, who has had unusual opportunities for investigation, is of so striking and important a nature that it will be read with interest by all:

OFFICE No. 27% WEST EIGHTH STREET,") O. ANDERSON, M. D., SUPERINTENDENT. CINCINJTATI, O., DEC. 2,1882.

Messrs. Editors: I have, during my professional career of many years' practice, treated a large number of various disorders, of which, perhaps, none have given me more trouble than the mysterious dis ease known as acute nephritis and while it may seem strange, it is, nevertheless, true, that the physician is generally greatly annoyed by this mysterious trouble, especially when the case is of hereditary -origin. It is,doubtless, the first stage of the wellknown but terrible Bright's disease, as the kidneys contain large quantities of albumen and while children and young people are especially liable to Its attacks, it is prevalent with all classes, and usually continues until late in life.

One obstinate case which came under mv observation, was that of a fireman of this city who applied to me for treatment. The case"was diagnosed parenchymatous nephritis. The man was twenty-four years of age plethoric and light complected. He stated that he had suffered from urinary troubles from childhood, and that he had "doctored" a hundred times, each time im proving some after which, in a short while, he would relapse into his former state of misery. I prescribed the usual therapeutics known to the profession with the same result that my colleagues had obtained. He got better for a while and then worse again in fact, so bad that he had to lay off for some time. He suffered intense pain so much so that I confess I had to resort to hypodermic injections of morphia. My druggist who knew how disgusted I was with the case, although not willing to desert the man, advised me to try a remedy from which he (the druggist) himself had derived great benefit. As a drowning man catches at a straw, I prescribed this remedy, not letting my patient, however, know what I was giving him and, although not a believer in nor a patron of "patent medicines," I must confess that after my fireman had taken one bottle he grew much better. I made him continue its use for a period of two months, with the most gratifying results it really worked wonders, and he owes his cure and present perfect health solely to the remarkable power of Warner's Safe Kidney and Liver Cure, the remedy which I prescribed, and he used.

Since the recovery of the man above mentioned, 1 have given considerable thought to the subject of acute nephritis, or kidney trouble, and I find that its manifestations are most remarkable. It often appears without any special symptoms of its own, or possibly as a sequel to some other disease. It may be a sequel to scarlatina, diptheria, and other illnesses, and even arise from pregnancy. The first symptoms freqently show themselves in the form of high, fierce and' intense pains in the lumbar region, "the small of the back," troublesome micturitions and frequent changes in the color of the urine which at times diminishes perceptibly. If the urine is entirely suppressed, the case, probably, will terminate fatally in a very few "darn. Dropsy is a consequent' t.l -i-..*n of the v.: e, and the seveieiieos of it is governed by the proportion of retention. The nervous system becomes prostrated with subsequent convulsions and irregular circulation of the blood, which, in my estimation, eventually might canst- a diseased heart to giveout. As I have remarked, in many kidney diseases—yes, even in Bright's disease itself—there is no perceptible pain in the back, and these troubles often assert themselves in various symptoms—for instance, in troublesome diarrhoea, blood poison, impaired

eyesight, nausea, loss of appetite, disordered digestion, loss of consciousness, husky voice and many other complaints too numerous to mention. Indeed thousands of people are gufl'ering from the first stages of Bright's disease to-day, and they do not know it.

In conclusion, I would like to state that I have, since my success with the fireman, repeatedly prescribed Warner's Safe Kidhey and Liver Cure, and if my professional brethren could only be brought so far as to overcome their prejudice against proprietary medicines they would, undoubtedly, find themselves recompensed for their supposed sacrifice of liberty, as well as by the great benefits that would accrue to the world.
