As the Pres ident pro-tem will doubtless be elected before the senators for the existing va cancies are sworn in, it seems to be in the power of the democracy to secure that officer if they desire it. Some are of opinion that a compromise may le effected by which the presiding officer will be given to the republicans,and the other places to the democrats. Electing a democratic V ice President would be putting a premium upon the assasination of president Arthur, and ought

not to be done. Our recnt experience i3 being persecuted instead of prosecutshows that evry possible safeguard ed. It seems that the intense hatred should be thrown around the Executive, of the Negro, which is so universally

so that no political cut-throat might hope to change the established order of things by his assasination. The best interests of the whoie country demand that the Executive be made as secure as possible in his tenure of office during his term. This would not I done by the election of a democratic Vice President. The Mormons. Shut our eyes to it as wc may, it is nevertheless a fact that Mormonism is on the increase in this country. It isno uncommon thing to notice the arrival at New York of a shipload of these deluded proselytes,- gathered from among the most ignorant peasantry of North Europe. Women largely predominate among these new-comers, and it i3 noticeable that they are from the coarsest element that Europe produces. Such immigration bodes no good to the future of the country, and it is questionable whether it should lie permitted.

In many places throughout our country

especially in the Southern States and in Eastern cities, Mormon agents are very active, and are no doubt making many converts among the more ignonorant, vicious, and shiftless classes. Mormonism is essentially un-Ameri can, unprogressive, and unrcpublican, and is an evil that sooner or later, must cause trouble the sooner the tatter. With their religious creed, as a lielief, the government cannot and will not interfere; but the polygamous feature of their domestic relations is in direct violation of United States statutory enactments, and is therefore subject to legislative action. That something will be done by the government at an early date, seems probable. President Gar field in his inaugural address called the attention of the country to the great evil, and had he lived, would undoubtodlv hfivp iirorpil CViiotpss to tftlco some x . - - - - 47 - - action hiking toward the suppression of Uolvcamv. PrwMent Arthur will doubtless pursue the same course, and the Mormons mav expect at an early date either to comply with the laws, or emigrate. inc inmieneeanupmrcx- . rri it i .11 .1 U 11 erlea v me rnion cnurcn government an autocracy that cannot much longer peaceably exist in the midst ot the growing civilization about ;t an(i tjie SOoner the question is settled fip letter HalsteadN Opinion.

We have little doubt that he prevalent among the pauper snobs at Point, follows them into the army as officers, and though they are glad enough to accept commands in colored regiments, vet they would not stop at any dishonorable means to destroy the character of a colored officer. rc have no desire to nrenidice Lieni - -j tenant Flipper's case even favorably, but wc are lound to say, in justice to him, that from his own statements and those of many unbiased residents of Fort Davis, Texas, there does seem to be evidence of a conspiracy against him.

Growth If anv unbiased person desires to test the growth of the colored man intellect ually, we reccommend him to take a half-dozen colored papers of last week and compare their leading editorial with those of the lest white papers of the country, including, it you please, the New ork and other metropolitan dailies. We do not pretend to say that the editorials in the colored papers are equal to those m the white journals; but we do claim that in the compari son one can hardly realize that the col ored paters are the product of less than twenty vears freedom. Considering our disadvantages, we gladly consent to and indeed challenge the comparison. Vv e will not suner by it. lhe editori als of the colored papers are thoughtful, forcible and elegant. They are not stilted in style nor imitative in sub ject matter. They show originality o thought and power of expression that only the very best white journals ex cel. We are proud to le able to say this. e are not boasting.but lecl war ranted in saying that upon the current topics of the day the colored papers are free to express their opinions, and are not ashamed or atraid to stand compar ison.

I Nw York Letter to Troy Timet 1 The female department ot the Tombs has for nearlv forty years been under the care of a matron whose executive powers and general ability have rendered her of great value, f lora .roster, indeed, is tne mos interesting character connected with the in stitution, bhe bears her prison life remark ably coming in the morning and remain ing all day, and then departing to her home at niht. This mode of life has been maintained with hardly the loss of a week, and now, notwithstanding her age, fhe is stil prompt in all her duties. Flora has a kind motherly aspect, but her decision of charac ter is interne, and her orders are beyond ap peal. On one occasion I noticed, while in her office, a girl who had been arrested for pocket-picking, and who, as a favor, was allowed an interview with her pal. The latter while talking uttered an oath, which though spoken in a low tone, was generally audible. "Leave the room, sir," was the matron's command, and the fellow knew he must obey. The girl began to expostulate in a rather impudent tone, and her reply was, 'Hush, or I will lock you up." The impudence continued hardly a minute longer, when the qu:et voice of the matron gave the command, 4,Lo'k her up." As this was done Flora turned to me and said: "That young woman is a professional pickpocket, and should be sent to State Prison, but after being here a few weeks she will be released and will go on robbing the public, while these poor creatures that are driven here by will be sent to Blackwell's Island for six months.'' It is remarkable that after spending a lifetime among the outcasts of society the matron of the Tombs should Lave such a home look of quiet and domestic character. There must be a fountain of indwelling love which even euch associations can not destroy, and it is this that renders Flora Foster so peculiarly adapted to her place. What I Water for. Water is to common we hardly think of it. To begin with, water was God's builder of the world, as we see it. The rocks were mud und sand made by water and laid down by it, one kind on top of another. Coal, made of plants, was covered up by water, so that the rotten plants were kept there and changed to coal. Veins of lead, copper, gold, silver, crystals, were cracks in the rocks, filled with water that had theso precious things dissolved in it. And water, as ice (glaciers), ground up rocks into earth, in which plants can grow, the sea and streams helping todothe work. Water builds plant?, and animals, too. Three-quarters of what they are made of is water. When, you pay twenty cent1 for a pock of potatoes, you are really paying fifteen of the cants for the water that is in the potatoes. A boy who weighs eighty pounds, if perfectly dried up, would weigh only twenty pounds And there could be no potatoes nor boy without water. It must dissolve things to make them into new things; and it carries them where they are wanted to build the new things. It softens food, and then as watory blood carries the food to every part of the bxly to make new flesh and boner, that we may grow and have strength. It carries the plant's food up into the plant. Water carries man and goods in boats, and, as steam, drives his cars. It makes the wheels go in his factories. It is a great worker, and we could not get alTng without it. And it makes much of the beauty in the world. Ask your friend how it does that? It ia a sorrowful fact that the bar-roomg are more honest with their lnmnnt thun LhA temperance picnic.

A VALIANT VETERAN.

He Regina Life as the Valet of Winfleld ; Scott, Shoulder a MiiHket at Lundy'a Lane, Cheer With the Victor at Clmrubuico, ami at Ninety Sighs for War and Whip- a Chinaman. IS. Francisco Chronicle. In San Rafael, any day, one may see ener getically plying his whitewash brush, a col ored citizen who prides himself on being the first person who ever gave Win field Scott a correct idea of what the word "defeat" meant. The sturdv veteran's name is Hiram H. Arnold. He was born within a few hun dred yards of the Scott homestead in Peters burg. Va., in 17S!, and at thirteen years of age was bound to the Scott family. The vigor of the veteran's ninety-second year amply attests the sturdiness of his youth, and it is not dillicult to believe his state ment that: "Many an' many's the time, sah, I've bested Massa Winnie when we'd had a scnfile." A Chronicle reporter who had heard of the hale survivor of by-gone generations, and sought him with much curiosity, was greatly surprised to find a hearty old boy who seemed not more than sixty-five years of age. a vmoriors nonagenarian. One would have easily taken the old man to be several years younger as he walked with erect figure and light step into the room to which one of the great-grandchildren had shown the reporter. He is somewhat above the medium height, brown-skinned, with light, strong limbs, and the well-knit but not massive frame that betokens activity, strength and endurance. In the full vigor of h?s manhood he must have been splendid specimen of physical development. He laughed heartily when the reporter ex pressed his astonishment at seeing the cares of over ninety years borne so lightly, for the veteran's beard and hair were merelv sprinkled with gray. "I'm 100 pounds, sah," said he, proudly; "an' ef 'twan't for a wound in my knee an' a stiff back, I'd feel as young as evah." The reference of his wound carried the old man's memory back at a gallop, and he rattled olT a narrative of the events of two centuries. From the long string of reminis cences the reiorted gleaned the information that Arnold had served as the valet of (en eral Scott for many years. To use his own words: SERVIXO WITH "WINNIE. "I was wid Winnie from the time he was Captain of a battery what am I talking of? from the time he studied law till he land ed at Vera Cruz." The veteran's life could hardly have been more eventful. When Scott was Court martialed in ISO!) for remarks on his superior omcer, his faithful valet returned to the old home and devoted himself to the stable while the future General studied military tactics. In 1812, wben the reinstated and promoted ex-Captain of light artillery was ordered to the Canadian iron tier, Arnold accompanied him and shared the excitement of that campaign. Finding the duties of a valet rather dull, he joined a foraging party at INiacara, and, with six others, attempted to drive otf a band of cattle belonging to the enemy. The British were on the alert, and after a hot chase Arnold's six cornrade3 were run down and captured. The agile young valet outpaced his pursuers, and, having Hung away all superfluous clothing, escaped over the ice in his bare feet. On the friendly side of the river he met a Hebrew peddler. whose pack he laid under contribution, and thus equipped, succeeded in reaching Gen eral Harrison s quarters. WOrXDED BY A BRITISH BALL. When Scott was wounded In the shoulder at Lundy's Lane, Arnold nursed him. The eminent tactician's demeanor, the veteran narrates, was characterized by anything but Christian resignation, and nothing grieved him so much as his inability to face the en emy. To make amends for the enforced in action of his master, the valet took part in several lively skirmishes, and managed to receive a shot in the knee, ihis serious in jury laid him up for a long time, but at the close of the war he was able to accompany Scott toKurope, where he acquired a knowl edge of French. The old man was partic ularly proud of his linguistic attainments, and never missed a chance to air his abuitv The marriage of Scott to Miss Mavo, o Richmond, in 1817, is fresh in the veteran's memory "Winnie," said he, "always had a notion of marrying a fortune, since old man Chase told him to throw away his law books and take up his sword and marry an heiress, for he never would make a lawyer, an snua nut he did." With regard to the matrimonial troubles which visited his master, the old valet was dumb as an oyster. He knew the whole cause, he said, and shook his grizzled locks sadly ; but the secrets of the family in which he had grown to man s estate were evidently regarded by him as too sacred lor public rer erence. Through the influence of Genera Scott, Arnold, who had been sick for some time, obtained a remunerative iosuion in the War Department. When the Siminole war began, in 18Jo, he went with Genera Scott to Florida, and subsequently served with his old master in the Mexican cam paign. ON THE FIELDS OF MEXICO. At Churubusco he blew off the little linger of kis left hand and shattered his right forearm while trying to annihilate the forces of 3anta Ana with an old fowling piece that had done good service at Lundy's Lane. The wear and tear of these campaigns did not destroy the valet's martial spirit, and when the civil war broke out he joined the first United States colored troops, and served three years and a half in the Army of the Potomac. In 18G4 the scarred but indomitable veteran was made Brevet Major, a title to which he clings with as much fondness as to an old walking stick given to General Scott by Major Woodstock in 1S17. "'Twas too short for Winnie," said the old man, "and so he tole me keep it fo' him, an' I'm keepin' it yet." in addition to his remarkable record as a soldier, the old campaigner prides himself on having served a term in the Navy. One would imagine that ninety-two years of life so checkered by the fortunes of war would have wearied the most energetic spirit. When the reporter remarked to the veteran that he must feel grateful for quiet life under the shadow of Tamalpais, the old war-horse shook his head impatiently. "I'd like to jump out to-morrow," said he. "an' take a whack at Mexico. I b'lieve I could do 'smuch service as any young man." THE OLD MAN DRUBS A CHINESE. Arnold's idea of his vigor is no hallucination, for only a short time ago he gave a sound drubbing to a Chinaman who talked roughly to one of Iiis great-grandchildren. More recently he oflered to lift a barrel of flour on his back if the owner would let hini have it for the feat, but the proposition was not accepted. He cherishes only one animosity, and that is a wild hatred of Peter Anderson, the colored editor, for having in his journal referred to him as a slave. His mother was a half-caste Indian, who lived to 10i years of age. "d mS father was a colored native of Kngland, who was transported for some offense. The Major, in addition to his other accomplishment, prides himself on being an expert pressman, and in the very early days worked off the Miiall edition of the New Orleans Argus, now the Picayune. "That was 'fore power presses, sar," said he, ''an' I was away 'head of anj' power press in those days." The now venerable Peter Anderson worked in the Argus press-room as a small lad in those bygone days, and the Major is thereI fore unusually sensitive to the fling at his

ancestry aimed by one whose pen should be

dipped only in the ink of kindness. THE VETERAN'S FAMILY. The veteran's only son attained the rank of colonel of colored troops, and died in deending the honor of his country. "And all I've got now " said the Major, with the tears dimming his eyes as he finished the story ef his son's death, "are those children. Thar's my oldest greatgranddaughter; she's twenty-five " "Oh, what are vou talking about, grand father?" protested the young girl, who was almost white. The old man would not strike out his esti mate, however, and enumerated the ages of the family down to the native young lad, who blacked boots. The children were those of his daughter's son, who died in New Zealand. Their mother was white, and deserted them, but the old Major, though alone in the world, and rapidly achieving his ninth decade, assumed the care of the homeless voungsters. "They are my own flesh and dlood, said j he proudly, "an' did you ever see prettier children in yer life, sah?" An Old Story Told Sam McDonald' Cruel Assault on Kerry Arno Hin Subsequent Ueath in Terre Haute, Ind. IBaltimore Correspondence of the New ork Herald. 1 There died on Monday last at No. H10 Race street, Philadelphia, a young man named William Brandon, who floured prominently in one of the most famous murder trials in the history of this State. Seven years ago llham Brandon was a street ganim in Baltimore, peddling newspapers, blacking boots and picking up a living in the best way he could. The only vrae by which he was known was "Rocks." There was nothing socially interesting about him as a gamin, but on the night of Monday, June 22, 1874, he saw Sam McDonald stab Berry Amos in the saloon of the Sherwood House, at Fayette and Harrison streets, in this city, and had the witnesses and Jury not been tampered with this street gamin's evidence would very likely have sent Sam McDonald to the scaffold. This murder is still fresh in the minds of Baltimoreans. Berry Amos was a worthless rough, but McDonald's butchery of him was so wanton and cruel that public opinion was aroused to the highest pitch against McDonald, and his acquittal has been looked upon as a blot upon the name of justice in Maryland. He was a gambler of the hightoned order, having inherited property valued at not less than a quarter of a million of dollars. His father was William McDonald, a very wealthy citizen, whose country seat in Baltimore County, known as Guilford, is now the summer residence of Mr. A. S. Abell, proprietor of the Baltimore Sun, and it is one of the prettiest places in the suburbs of the city. When Sam McDonald committed this murder he was only twenty-rive years of age, but from the time he reached his majority he had given himself up to a wild and reckless life, indulging in all sorts of extravagances and consorting habitually with evil companions of both sexes. He had a mistress, and it wa3 she who sent him as a present the richly-engraved dirk with which he committed the crime. He had been educated in Europe at great expense, and the best society of the city was open to him, but he preferred the life of a gambler and roue, and thus he lived and died. His father fortunately died before the son committed his crime, and bis mother had been married again to a Swiss gentleman of some distinction, named John de Sebyr, and when the crime was committed she and her husband were residing at Nice, Italy. Somewhat less than a year previous to the murder, McDonald, in a drunken brawl at a house of ill-fame, stabbed and nearly killed a man by the name of Joseph Legg. Immediately after this he left the city and went to Terre Haute, Ind., and purchased a very handsome residence in the suburbs of that city, where he lived with his mistress. At the time of the murder of Berry Anio he was in Baltimore on a short visit. Amos was an unusually tine-looking man, tall, erect, broad-chested and muscular, with Sturdy legs and brawny arms. He had a dark complexion, but regular features, and was decidedly handsome. He was best known as a three-card-monte man. He could work wonders in his line and clean out the pockets of all who were disposed to try their luck with him with the most surprising facility. His usual modus operandi was to disguise himself as a countryman of the very greenest type, and thus to swindle rustics whenever they gathered in large crowds at the Pimlico races, or at fairs in various Counties of the State. Withal, he was an inoffensive fellow, not easily excited, and as a rule very peaceable. On the night of the murder McDonald and a number of his companions had been gambling in an upper room of the Sherwood House. When they got through they went down stairs to the bar-room, and there Amos stood leaning upon the bar. One of McDonald's" companions, named Golibart, pushed against Amos. A general row resulted, in which McDonald twice stabbed Amos with a dirk, once in the left arm and once in the neck. The subcalvian artery was severed and hemorrhages and deatü followed. It seemed at first that McDonald would get his just deserts. He was indicted the day following the murder and arraigned the next day. His counsel, however, secured a removal of his case to the Court of Baltimore County, Towsontown. While in Jail in that place he was allowed to have his own way, and every wish was granted. Strange stories are told of the royal banquets with the Jail officers, of allnight debauches and sprees within the Jail walls, to which the friends of McDonald were often invited. He was also allowed to go about the streets at night with his companions and, perhaps, one Deputy Sheriff, and they often made night hideous in that quiet country town. " The trial came off early in October of the same year, and attracted the closest attention. Then came a series of very singular developments. A number of witnesses who, at the Coroner's investigation, had testified that they saw McDonald stab Amos, now came forward and swore that there was such a crowd in the bar-room at the time that they could not testify who did the stabbing. All was confusion now in their minds regarding a matter which a few months before had been as clear as day to them. That these witnesses had been bought with Sam McDonald's money there could be no doubt in the public mind, and the same method has been tried with the gamin "Ilocks," but unsuccessfully. He had been induced to go to Towsontown Jail, ostensibly to carry some cigars to McDonald, and there he was plainly told that it would be worth a handsome sum to him to go out of the State until the trial was over, or, if he was called to the stand to testify that he did not see the stabbing. He told this to his mother, and she in some way impressed the words on his mind, as he testified at the trial, that "such money bought blood." When sworn as a witness, ignorant bov as he was, unable to read or write, he told his story in a most straightforward manner, and all efforts to break down his evidence were ineffectual. Every one who heard or read his evidence believed it. Yet, in spite of this, McDonald was acquitted after a very short consultation of the Jury. The verdict was generally regarded as a most infamous one, and there was much talk for a time of prosecuting several of the witnesses for perjury, but nothing came of it. McDonald immediately went to his residence, near Terre Haute, and there, two years ago he died. His death was reported here to have been a most distressing one, the image of the murdered Berry Amos being constantly before him. Great interest was taken in "Rocks" for some time after the trial, and efforts were made to secure him a position where he could make a better living than by running on gamblers' errands. He went with his mother to Philadelphia a few years ago, and such a position was there secured for him through tha efforts of his Baltimore friends. He was not a boy of bright promise, though, and proved much more fond of his old associates than of the new. He died of consumption. The Philosophy of True Love. ParaM of a Fertl&a Poet. One knocked at his beloved's door, and a voice answered, ''It is I." Then the voice eaid: ''This house will not hold me' and thee," And the door remained fast shut. Then went the lover into the desert and fasted and prayed in solitude. And after a year he returned and knocked f gain at the door. And again the voice aäked: "Who is there?" And he said: 'lt is thyself." And immediately the door was opened to him. .

SUGGESTIONS IN TIME.

AVliat a Woman of Prominence in the Medical World has to Say About her Sex. S'oyxM of a Lecture Delivered by Mr. Doctor Kcvtna, Before tin" Women it Society of Xetc Enylaiid. ( Home Journal, Sew York.) In all ages of the world, poets, scientists, and men of prominence have looked with enthusiasm often akin to reverence ujKn woman: but it is only within the last few years that she has begun to assume her right place, not only in society.but with the world in general. Why so desirable an end should have been so long delayed it is difficult to understand; but that it has at last come is certainly cause for gratitude. In her social sphere, in her mental development and esjtecially in her physical improvement, woman has shown wonderful advancement and such as astonishes the world. They who have made a careful investigation tell us that heathen woman are much more able to endure pain than are the women of civilization; but civilized women would resent the charge that they are weaker because they are civilized. A distingnished writer says: "If the women of civilization are less able to endure the taxation of their physical resources than are heathen women, it is a mere accidental circumstance, and one within their control. Let us consider for a moment the possibilities which present themselves to every woman. When the bodv is healthv beautv is certain to appear, even in features and forms once plain; indeed it is the oniv known wav to necome neauiuui, ami an oiner preparations, powders, stays and laces are contemptible delusions. With health and beautv in all their attractiveness a new life dawns, EXJOYMEXT BEGIXS and all the luxurious attendants of a heal thv lxwlv come forth. The maiden feels the glorious iHssibilities of life; the mother le conies conscious of the grandeur of materni ty and the joys of a family. All this is not only a woman's privilege, it is her duty, ami it embodies the highest definition of "woman's rights". After enumerating many of the blessings that follow perfect health, the speaker continued: These desirable things can lie accomplished but in one way onlv. The Creator has given l)oth woman and man ierfect physical forms, and each is constitutionally epual to nil natural demands. It is a mistaken and pernicious notion that one is strong and the other weak. No curse was pronounced upon woman which did not apply with equal penalty against man. If women believe the fatalism that disease is a necessary condition of their existence,it is chiefly because the disciples of the schools of medical practice have leen utterly incapable of competing with the multitude of ills, which, by personal carelessness or professional incompetency they have jK?rmitted to fasten upon women. A few weeks ago, I received a call from a charming lady, whose earnest face clearly showed that she desired advice and assistance. UKn questioning her, she stated that she believed she was snflering from a paralized liver, and wished to know if I could in any way aid her recovery. Now, imperfect as her statement was in regard to the disease whihh troubled her, there is no doubt that THOrRAXDS OF WOMEN are suffering to-day, from similar troubles' who do not recognize their cause so nearly as this lady did. Paralysis means death of the member parlyzed, and torpidity of the liver is the first stage of its dissolntion. This is one of the most serious questions that can arise in the experience of any woman; for a torpid and diseased liver cannot at once, and it carries with the elements of disease to all the other parts of lhe system. With an imperfect liver, biliousness'' languor, a sense of bearing down, constipation, displacements, uterine troubles and the thousand ills which are coupled in their train come thick and fast. Then follow impure blood and all the evils which an imperfect circulation cause. A derangement of the kidnevs or liver causes disease in the organs which adjoin them just as certainly as a bad peach injures the other peaches in the basket. Not only this, but when these organs are in a healthy state, they restore and keep in order any irregularity which may occur in the lower portion of the body. No woman was ever seriously sick for any length of time when such was the case. No serious inflamation can occur when the blood is pure, and no blood can be impure whenjjthe liver or kidneys are in perfect order. I have seen very much of the troubles and ills to which women have been subjected, and I have learned to sympathize while 1 have sought to relieve. In endeavoring to carry relief I have tried to be free frm prejudice and have in view but one end,namely to help those who are suffering; and I feel it is my privilege today to state that I believe there is a means whereby those women who are suffering can obtain complete relief, and those who are in health be continued in its enjoyment. A few yeas ago a prominent and wealthy gentleman residing in Rochester, N. Y, was given up to die of Bright's disease of the kidnevs. Bv means of a simple and purely vegetable remedy he was restored to perfect health, and has since leen the means of saving the lives of many others. So efficient did HIS DISCOVERY prove in cases of many well-known men, that it l?gan also to be used by ladies, and to-day, thousands of women, in all parts of the land, owe their happiness to the wonderful power of Warner's Safe Kidney and Liver Cure. Mr. Warner has the written testimony of hundreds of the best ladies in the land, enthusiastically praising the remedv, and thankfully expressing their gratitude for health. These letters are private, and cannot be given to the public, but they overwhelmingly verify all the facts above stated. Nature has given woman a delicate, watchful, alert instinct, and she has found this remedy to be what her sex for years has needed, to restore and maintain the perfection of nature. She resents the imputation that she is bound to suffer all the ills that attack her. She recognizes that suffering is but an incident of her existence and that this incident is wholly with in her control, if she can find the necessarv helps which nature provides. The cnangeole character oi our climate, me oittirnes exacting and enervating customs of ho. ciety, of fashion and of necessity, all conspire to inipare the vitality of women. If we add to these the exhausting duties of motherhood, and the mental anxietv for the success of her husband in all his laudable ambitions, which plav upon her energies, is it surprising that thus burdened she should break down under the physical strain? By no means on the contrarr the wonder is that she has maintained her physical strength as she has, I have not the time to elaborate this point. You yourselves verv well know what the circumstances arc which have rendered her life a burden. You also know that the PRIMARY CAX'SE of physical degeneration is impure blood. The performrnce of the natural functions of womanhood and motherhood is not a disease, nor should it be so treated. Disease is the result of the transgression of physical laws by our ancestors or by ourselves, and the natural coursings of the blood should not be n considered. If. however, the blood be im i pure it is certain to produce its poisonous ef . ru u:i. r jeCtS In me pari Wim n iulu iv vtimtTf in

contact, and thus cause inflammations and the innumerable ills that make the physical life of women so hard to endure. An enumeration of the troubles to which woman is subjected and the adaptability of the remedy above named for their cure was then made by the shaker, who continued: I am aware a prejudice exists against proprietary medicines and that such prejudice is too often well founded, but we should discriminate in our judgments and not -on-demn all because some are inefficient. The merits of Warner's Safe Kidney and Liver Cure have been proven !eyond a doubt, liecause they deal directly with the causes of all female troubles; they affect and control thrt body of the tree rather than its branc hes. Warner's Safe Kidney and Liver Cure has indeed been a blessing for the rich; a Uk.ii

for the Door.. It has lifted men Irom a bed of death ami restored them to vigor and health. But greater and Utter than all this, it has come to woman, has raised her, restored her ami kept her in constant hopefulness and health. It has kept back disease by fitting the system to resist its attacks; it has regulated the life, purified the source of life, and brought innumerable blessings out of numlierless woes. The women of America, both young and old, have greater oportunities to-day than those of any land in any age. Their rights are more fully recognized, their priveleges are greater and their possibilities unlimited. They are permitted to enjoy lite to its fullest extent, and to do this their lodies niut lv unimpaired. I congratulate the women of this free land that the keenness of their jerceptions has led them to discover their necesities and what will satisfy them. I congratulate them that they who have reajn-d the greatest liencits from the scientific researches of indetendent investigation, are to-day the most enthusiastic proclaimers of the merits of this great remedy of which I have sjmken, the spirit of intolercncc, I may say in conclusiin, so rampant in this age of free investigation when all things are judged by what they are and not by what they term, must eventually give way to the letter, wiser, nobler liberality in which alone can le found true security, true peace, true health and true happiness. The Massacre of Italians and Malte. Paris, Oct 4. General Farre, Minister of War, has received telegrams confirming the report of the burning of the railway station at Wadzergha and the massacreiug of a number of employes, including several British subjects, by insurgents in Tunis. The attack on the station was made by the Arabs who recently attacked Alibri Station. The master, an ex-Lieutenant in the French Army and a Chevalier of the Legion of Honor, was burned alive, and ten employes, mostly Maltese and Italians, were massacred. Roustan, the French Minister at Tunis, invited the English ani Italian Consuls to assist at the official inquiry into the disaster. The English and Italian consular clerks, doctors, etc, have accordingly gone to Wadtergha for that purpose. Six hundred French troops went there on the 30th ult., but the Arabs disappeared long before their arrival. The massacre was undoubtedly caused by the wholesale destruction of live forests, villages and vineyards, which General Sabatier considered necessary around Zaghouan. The Tunisian authorities are evidently trying to screen the Arabs accused of murdering the Maltese and Italians. No arrests yet. There is being about one-third more w heat sown this fall than last, the recent rains putting the ground in such fine condition to sow that the farmer can hardly quit. Crawfordsville Review. RA TT.
