THE INDIANA STATE SENTINEL; WEDNESDAY, MAHCH 3L 1880.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 31.

It will cost the SUte of Indian $100,000 annually to keep the- registration law in operation. Thx old, tried and true maxim, "to let well enough alone." should be heeded in o ting on the registry law. The law governing the ballot box, In Indiana, as it now stands, is good enough. At least 500,000 citizens of Indiana will be disfranchised if they do not register, and at least 200,000 of them will bare to lose a day each to meet the requirements of the law. This is time uselessly thrown away, and is therefore money uselessly thrown away. Amesdmist No. 1, to be voted for on the first Monday in April, provides two methods for disfranchising citizens of Indiana. II a citizen has not resided CO days in a township and 30 days in a ward or precinct, he is dis fxanchised. and eyen If he has met the requirements in these regards he Is disfranchised if he does not register. Mr, Bkowslkk Thursday received the nomination for the 8tate Senate from the counties of Grant and Madison. The honor came to him in the 6hape of a splendid compliment, as upon the first ballot he tied with A. J. Brunt, one of the wealthiest and most influential citizens in that part of the State, and on the second ballot he beat him fire votes. Hugh J. Jewctt was in congress once for a few months, and run once for governor of Ohio, and was defeated. Such is his political record as a publio man. He is now at the head of a great corporation owned by the money kings of Eogland. We do not suppose there are three Democrats in Indiana or In any other State, oataideof New York, in favor of the Jewett boom. The Burlington (Iowa) Argus, in copying a late editorial article from oar paper, concerning Governor Hendricks, says: In another part of to-day's paper we publish a long article from tbe Indianapolis Sentinel, comcernlng Uovernor Hendricks, ably presenting some of the strong points In favor of nominating him for the presidency at Cincinnati. It will bear thoughtful reflection and candid consideration. lie liaa been before tbe country for years as an able statesman and a prudent party lender, and no jobs stick to him. He presents a clean record. Indiana he presents as atrophy, which Is more than any of his competitors can show in coming into the fight; and he has had the ablest of the Republicans to contend against in his State. Tiiere has been a great deal of senseless talk by Republicans touching the action of rongress upon the deputy marshal question. No greater outrage was ever perpetrated than the passage of the law authorizing the appointment of deputy marshals to arrest voters. It was an intensely partisan law, and as such it was wisely opposed by Democrats. The recent action of the Hous9 of Representatives, while it does not do away with the law, so modifies its provisions as to rob it of some of its more objectionable features. The deputy marshals, in future, will not all be taken from the Republican party, but Democrats and Nationals, aa well as Republicans, will b9 represented. It would have been better to have repealed tbe monstrous law against the liberties of the people, but since that could not be accomplished, the next best thing was to have all parties represented. The action, therefore, of the House of Representatives is a Democratic triumph. Nearly all of our Democratic State exchanges oppose portions of the amendments; some of them are opposed to alL A registry law seems to be particularly obnoxious, simply because the Republican party perpetrated a greater amount of rascality under the only registry law we ever had in Indiana than under any other instrumentality ever used by the sleek:, smooth political rascals of that party. This is quite a sweeping assertion, but during the reign of the old registry law we knew a young Republican lawyer, of this city, who lias since seen the errors of his way and become a Dem ocrat He said that one Sunday before a certain election in Indianapolis, he con surned the sacred day by copying names from a New York City directory, that there might be enough signatures t) tally with the stuffings of the ballot box. This was a better plan than that used in Morgan county on another occasion by the Republicans, who ran out of names, and then voted tbe graveyards of Morgan county. This, however, was not under the registry law, but serves as an illustration of the brilliantly rascally tactics of Republicanism. RESIDENCE AND REGISTRATION. While it may be assumed by some that none of the proposed amendments to the constitution of Indiana are required to promote any single interest of the people of the State, others claim that it will be well enough to discriminate adopt some and reject others. There are others still who favor the entire batch. It is claimed that the Republican party is solid in favor of all the proposed amendments, and that the Democratic party is divided some favoring all of them, some none of them; while others will vote to adopt eome and to reject others. The amendments are said to be non-partisan in their provisions, andtbat they are submitted to the people in a non-partisan spirit. The Sentinel takes that view of the subject citizens may vote as their judgment dictates without reference to party affiliations. The Sentinel makes special war upon amendment No. 1. That amendment ought, in our judgment, to be rejected, as it Imposes unnecessary restrictions upon the rights of suffrage. By the constitution as it is, a residence in the State of Indiana for six months constitutes a man 21 years of age a citizen of the State, with the right to vote and to be voted for, but the proposed amendment imposes three additional requirements, the non-compliance with either of which robs him of citizenship and deprives him of his right to vote. He must reside In a particular township 60 days and in a particular ward or precinct SO days, or be disfranchised. But having complied with the residence requirementfix months in the State, 60 days in the township, and 30 dayi in the ward or precinct he is still In danger of be

ing disfranchised. He must be registered and if not registered he has no vote, no voice in public affairs any more than an alien or a felon. These provisions, and particularly that relating to residence, strikes at the rights of thousands of good citizens of Indiana, Republicans and Democrats. It strikes especially at poor men renters men who do not own the bouses in which they live, and who are subjected to change of residence by circumstances they can not control, and to say that such men ought to be disfranchised because, however honest and upright, they have not lived in a certain township 60 days, and in a certain precinct 30 days, is to advocate a flagrant outraga that can not be too severely condemned, and an amendment embodying such a provision ought to be overwhelmingly defeated. Laboring men those who are frequently required to move from place to place to obtain employment, regardless of political parties should vote against it to a man. The registration provision of amendment No. 1 will work serious hardships and annoyance throughout the State, and especially throughout the rural districts, where there is not a shadow of any necessity for registration. Men will be com pelled to go up and be registered, as the Jews were ' required to go up to Jerusalem to be taxed. If the day for final registration is permitted to pass without registering, there will be no appeal The voting privilege will have disappeared. There is absolutely no remedy; the citizen is disfranchised as certainly as if he had committed grand larceny, and was serving out his sentence with his head shaved in the Northern or Southern prison. Indiana has had a taste of an outrageous registry law, and the people compelled its repeal. Shall we now have a constitutional provision of the same character, placed almost beyond the reach of the people, whose rights it will strike down? Whatever else may pass, let it be understood by both Democrats and Republicans that amendment No. 1 shall be defeated.

ENOW THYSELF. Knowledge is power. Knowledge is not pedantry; it is not cant sophisms, special pleading, the play of technicalities battle of nonsensical platitudes, an array of phrases, word traps and paragraph pits. It is not demsgoguery, bluiter, bombast and fllapdoodle. It is not man-worship. It is something better, nobler, grander. It is knowledge. Does the Democratic party know itself? Does it comprehend its mission? Is it familiar with its principles, its traditions, its achievments? Does it comprehend that its triumphs have been secured by its devotion to measures, not men, to principles, to the essentials of liberty, progress, and the divine right of the people to govern? If the Democratic party comprehends these questions if it is capable of carrying forward governmental enterprises, based upon the eternal verities of right; if it is capable of solving, in the future, as it has been in the past, the problems of free gov ernmenj, it will cease its wranglings about men, and devote its power and its opportunities to the solution of problems which underlie the future greatness and glory of the country. It matters but little who shall be the nominee of the Cincinnati convention, if he be a man whose life . record demonstrates that he is loyal to the principles with which the Democratic party has been identified from the first, and which have, as the years have rolled on, conferred imperishable renown upon the American Republic No one man is essential to the perpetuity of their principles, they are above and beyond any man God ever created. They are as imperishable as truth. No Sampson can tear down the pillars upon which the grand superstructure is reared. No power can crush them. They are forever coming to the front, forever demand ing recognition, forever assailing the wrong. A Judas may betray and a Pilate may order their crucifixion, but on tbe day when their enemies exalt In their downfall they are more pow erfulthan ever, and when subjected to the rack of fanatical prejudice, the jibbetof hate, the cross of humiliation, or passiDg through the fires of partisan malignity, their power is more universally displayed, and their majesty more widely acknowledged. So far as men are concerned, the Democratic party demands a standard-bearer whose pub lic record Is a guarantee that, his knowledge of Democratic principles is thorough and profound, and that be is so permeated with these principles that they will influence all of his public acts and be impressed upon the policy he will pursue. This being understood, the Democratic party comes before the country with its principles. The man to represent them, when selected, unites the party, harmonizes every section and hushes every faction. To speak well of distinguished Democrats whose names have been mentioned In connection with the office of president is tbe duty, and should be a pleasure of all Democrats. To belittle one that another may be extolled is impolitic. To assume that any one man is absolutely necessary to the triumph of Democratic principles is to place the party in direct conflict with its tradi tlons. It is well to name candidates for president. The Sentinel has its candidate but the Sentinel does not assume that if tbe distinguished citizen whose name appears In its columns as a candidate for president is not successful, that Democratic principles are not t) triumph. The Sentinel takes a higher and a broader view of the s abject Its knowledge of the Democratic party forbid the assailment of other candidates. In guarding its own record it regards the record of the party. It believes that Mr. Hendricks is, all things considered, the most available candidate for president. He is right in ail regards. His record requires no apologies. Hii character is massive, his statesmanship broad, his principles Democratic. If nominated he will make a standard bearer popular in all sections, harmonizing all fictions, unifying all elements, a recognized patriot and statesmen; he would, if eleoted, demonstrate the wisdom of Democratic principles, and bring the country back to the halcyon days of Its grandest prosperity. But the Democratic party, if Mr. Hendricks should fall to secure the nomination, will not disband, but under some other leader will march on to victory

and live and triumph in the future as in the past, not because of men but because its principles are those which must prevail if the Republic endures. "Measures, not men," Is the motto. If the Democratic party "knows itself," it will emphasize the motto from this time to the meeting of the convention. This done there can hardly be a mistake in selecting tbe candidates.

JANUARY AND JUNE. The trouble in the family of ex-Senator Chnstiancy, culminating in a divorce, mutually asked, hu given philosophic editors occasion to write homilies on the Immorality of marital relations between old men and young women. Burns asks: "What should a young la&sle do wl' an old mon," and then proceeds to answer, if we remember the burden of the song correctly, disparagingly. A preponderance of human testimony, if not "the spirit of the age," is against such matches; yet undoubtedly many a yoang lady has found great happiness in contributing as wife and friend to the happiness of an elderly gentleman. A disparity of years is surely no more unfortunate than a dissimilarity of tastes and temperaments. In truth, a happy union of the last qualities will atone for any differ ence in age. It was not because of his great age or her extreme youth that, as Byron puts it "The first Mrs. Milton left the old man's house," but simply the want of affinity. The same might be said of the great and pare Charles Sumner. Official life, anyhow, is not thought to bs conducive to connubial feliciy. A grave senator, wise in matters of state, gets married, who ,has no use for a wife. He fancies that he can pick np any beautiful treasury girl, or a milliner's pretty apprentice, who will enjoy his partiality and devotion with perpetual admiration of his strength of mind, elo quence of tongue, if not grandeur of person. That is the great mistake of his life. Domestic squalls are as frequent with sinners in high station as in tbe houses of the rabble. And a volume entitled, "God Bless our Home," and bound in morocco, has been precipitated upon a liege lord's bead with an effect, fully as appalling s the execution of a rolling pin In humbler quarters. It is unfortunate for Senator Christlancy, and particularly the young woman; it was especially unfortunate for th m when they united their dissimilar and inharmonious fortunes. CLIPPINGS. The Louisville Democrat says it is for a strong ticket Hancock and English. Barry SoxLiVAjr, the actor, Is mentioned as a proboble candidate for Parliament for Belfast. Lord Beaconsficld Is now in excellent health and spirits, and is distinguishing himself in pedestrianlsm. A Russian countess parades the streets of Nice escorted by three large bloodhounds of quarrelsome disposition. Tut number of negroes who have left Lousi na Tor Kansas since the exodus movement was started is set down at 3,000. Hard times are said to have made tbe divorce market very dull in California. People can't afford the luxury of legal expenses. Thk Columbus (O ) Democrat thin lea that the few scattered remains of John Sherman's boom should be gathered up by his frlenas and preserved as relics. There Is a prospect of largely increased imports of wool Into the United States this year, as the home crop will not be sufficient to meet the manufacturing demaud. A man in Marshall county Tennessee, over 80 years of age, has never seen either a railroad or a steamboat. He is a good farmer and attends closely to his own business. He has lived within five miles of a railroad for several years. The New York Evening Express says that Senator Logan's our days' pitched battle against Fits John Porter has closed, and the field is strewn with dislocated parts of speech, and wounded adjectives, and lost nominatives trying to find the verbs they belong to. From official statistics recently published In Copenhagen, It appears that In the 10 years from 1869 to 1878 there were 4,770 cases of suicide ascertained to have been committed in tbe kingdom of Denmark. Of this number of persons 3,709 were males and 1,001 females. IT is said til at the "electric middlings purifier" Invented by two Yale students is an entire success, so far as the tests thus far applied indicate. One of the inventors is now in Minnesota arranging to introduce the machine Into one of tbe largest flouring mills In that State. Mr. R. H. Daka III., the young gentleman recently married to Mr. Longfellow' daughter, was the most noted athlete In his class at Harvard. Since leaviog college be has broken down physically, and has Just made a journey round Cape Horn for the reoovery of his health. The Pittsburg Post says that the Democratic members of the South Carolina Legislature have been polled on their flist choice for a presidential candidate, with the following result: Bayard 78,Tllden 12, Seymour 11, Field 10, second choice Seymour 55, Bayard 21, Tilden 5, Hancock 15, Field 8. Froh a paltry 75 cents' worth of Iron ore may be developed fö.&O worth or bar-Iron, 110 worth of horse shoes, 1180 worth of table knlvts, $0,800 worth of fine needles, S:.480 wortn of shirt buttons, 2uo,OuO worth of watch springs, f 1C0.C0O worth of hair springs, or $2,500,000 worth of pallet arbors (used in watches. A LTTTLK Philadelphia girl, eight years old, recently lost her life, perhaps through her own heroic self-control. She was holding a baby on her lap when her clothlog caught fire. She succeeded la placing the baby, uninjured, In Its cradle, and then ran Into the street to save the house from being burned down. Her own injuries were so severe that she died. The Florida orange crop this year is much larger than ever before. From such counties as are easily accessible tbe figures point to a crop of about 440,100 boxes. In Putnam county alone the 1879 yield was nearly 5,500,000 oranges, and next year, with the large num ber of blooming trees that will come into bearing, the crop will amount to 25.000,000 oranges. As eccentricity of the late Mrs. Gales, of 'Washington, Is recalled by the story of the London beauty who had all her coins scoured before putting them Into her purse. If Mrs. Gales dropped her handkerchief on the floor she would not use it aal a until It had been washed. Immediately ou returning home after a walk or drive she would change every article of her clothing for fresh garments. Mr. P. T. BAR5UX was asked recently whether be womd be a candidate for mayor of Bridgeport, Conn., If be oould be assured that he would be elected. "No, sir," was the reply, if I should ever accept the nomination again

it would be under the assurance that I would not be elected. I had rather be a good showman than a poor mayor. Besides, I am old enough to know better than to accept any more offices." Thk Chicago Times published on Saturday 185 special telegrams from 11 Northwestern Btatea, giving an estimate of tbe yield of winter wheat this year. If the figures are trustworthy, and if reasonably fair weather prevail the increase In the yield over the large yield of last year will be about Oper cent. This dopend, however, on the weather of tbe next month, as a severe frost on fields Dare of snow might produce disastrous results. . Thk oyster war in the Rappahannock is looked upon as a serious matter. One of the craft employed there carries a shotted howitzer, and a more bitter feeling has been engendered between the Maryland and Virginia fishermen than has existed for many years, which nothing but tbe moet clear and concise legislation can remedy. One of the causes of trouble is the changing beds of tbe Chesapeake bay and river. The dry-goods Jobbing trade in New York continues to be active, and most of the leading nouses are doing a more than usually satisfactory buslnessa In all descriptions of seasonable goods. The demand at first bands has been of

fair aggregate proportions, but jobbers are, as a rule, operating in accordance with Immediate wants. The tone of tbe market is very strong, and higher quotations have been made by agents for additional makes of cotton goods, prints, etc. Ma. Charles Dickens, son of the novelist, and Mr. Joseph Hatton have written a fouract drama oa "The Mystery of Edwin Drood," in which the murderer of Edwin Brood naturally turns out to be Jasper, the choir-master. The play ends with an exciting scene In the opium-smoking den, where Jasper beholds in a dream the details of his crime and arrest, wbicb are also made visible to tbe audience, and wakes to find the realization of the climax of bis vision in the entrance of the officers of J ostlce. Several senators of both parties were admitted to a consultation with the sergeant-at-arms tbe other day over a letter which arrived addressed, simply: "Plumed Knight, United States Senate, Washington, D. C.M The postmaster thought it was Intended for Mr. Blaine, but didn't like to take tbe responsibility of putting it in his box. The group of senators Anally decided to give it to Mr. Blaine, and when be entered the Chamber tbe sergeaut-at-arms handed the letter to him, indicating that public opinion seemed to recognize in him Its owner. Blaine smiled and opened tbe envelope. It was an invitation to James O. Blaine to attend some literary exercises at the University of Tennessee. A telemeter, which will for many purposes far surpass any range finder yet suggested, has been invented by a professor of mechanics at the High School at Belgrade. The instrument it is stated, will show with unvarying precision tbe exact distance of an enemy. The rap- j kilty with which sound travels Is the basis of the measurement of dstances, the distance required to be known being shown upon the lace of the in&trument In less than a minute. The telemeter Itself is only about tbe size of a watch, and can therefore be easily carried in the pocket, while the error in the measurement of any range from 500 up to 20,000 yards does not exceed one and a half yards, and does notincrea.se with the distance. The cost Is only about J10. George Koeuler was believed to have mur dered a man at Cairo, III., but there was not a scrap of evidence against him, and for some time he was not even arrested. It was at length decided to entice him Into inculpating himself. He was put into Jail, in the same eel with a detective who pretended to be a criminal and confessed many imaginary crimes to his companion nnder a solemn pledge of secrecy. He argued that almost any crime could be concealed, and thus gave the im pression that he was wonderfully shrewd. Koehler fell Into the trap, asked his advice and gave him a circumstantial account of tbe murder. The missing body was found where he said he had buried it, and it seems certain that he will be hanged on the evidence that he has himself provided. A young farmer living In New Scotland, near Albany, N. Y left his father's hense last Wednesday afternoon walked up the road about a quarter of a mile and cut his throat with a ralzor. He al io made a gash across his right wrist, the cat being deep enough to sever the tendons and lay bare the main artery. Then he placed a pistol to his head and fired, the ball entering just above tbe left ear. He also shot himself In the right side under the sixth rib, and then fired another shot, the ball entering the left side under the fifth rib. With blood streaming from all these ghastly wounds he walked to his father's house and presented himself to the afrigbted members of the family. When the shot was flred into the head tbe muzzle of the pistol was held so close that the hair was burned off. The man's clothing was set on fire from the powder, and when he reached home his shirt was in a blaze, and the first thing the family did was to throw a pall of water over him t put out the fire. Lumbermen have for many years been looking for a profitable mode of utilizing sawdust. Burning It as fuel for their steam ebgines makes no appreciable diminution In tbe supply, and though vailous means of turning it to good account have been suggested, their adoption is not al way practicable on tbe spot. Mixing the sawdust with tar or pitch and converting it into fuel has been found to answer In some cases; In others tbe manufacture of fire lighters, by mixing the sawdust with petroleum or resin, and pressing it into small cakes, has been adopted. An Ingenious Inventor has devised a machine for working np the material Into pulp and compressing it into various shapes, such as barrels, brackets, doors, etc. It Is said that articles ot furniture made in this way are in certain respects pre ferable to those made of ordinary wood, the pulp becoming perfectly hard and impervious to water. The Biter was Bitten. In New Hampshire is a well-known eccentric individual, self-constituted eurer of all ilh a sort of panacea, "body and soul, head, heart, and conscience doctor," who, with all his eccentricities, has a fund of actual wit that Is hard to beat. Not long ago the doctor was called to tbe witness stand. Tbe opposing counsel, who is said sometimes to wet his whistle with "licker pizen." knowing the doctor's peculiarities, ventured in croas-examlning'him, to show him up a bit "What is your business?" pompously inquired tbe counsel. My business is to do what little good I can to my fellow man," modestly replied the doctor. "Bat that doesn't answer my question," gruffly answered the counsel, "flow do you spena your timer' ' "Why, "squire, it takes about all my time to do what 1 said," replied tbe doctor. "But I want something more definite," stoutly demanded the counsel. "How do you go about your business?'' "That depends upon circumstances, according to the nature of the case," explained the doctor. "For Instance, if I were going to begin on you, tbe first thing I should do would be to advise you to sign tbe temperance pledge."

FOLLOW TOUR LEADER.

How a New Orleans Merchant Reformed a New York Club. New York World. The late Thomas H. 8mith, of New York, Whose enormous tea store in South street, near Dover street 50 years ago, extended through ;to Water, and was 100 feet wide, and the wonder of the city when it was built, . besides being the greatest tea merchant of his day, was very fond of fun. He was the president of a club called the "Fire Club." It held it j meetings in Franklin square, on the corner of Dover street. Boye have a mode of amusement called "follow your leader." This was adopted by the club of which Smith was preadent. Many men who are now aged and respected men, or dead, belonged to the "Fire club" Joseph Fonlke. a trader at Curacoa, a Dutch isla d in tbe West Indies, and tbe Stages. There was old Peter Stag?, csshier of the City bank, and John and Benjamin Stagg. There was old Matthias Bruen and many more whose names were on the club list. They gave grand suppers, and their entertainments were very expensive. They would invite a guest to these suppers, explain the rules, and if he refused to join or could not carry out the Idea, tbe fine was one dozen of champagne. These fines were occasioned by a refusal to follow the leader. On one occa sion a great cotton merchant from New Orleans was a guest. He agreed to all the conditions. It was late in the evening, in the dead of tbe winter. The ice in the East river was floating up and down with every change of tide. "Follow your leader!" shouted Smith, and out of the warm, luxurious club rooms poured the members of the club. Out of the square and around the corner Into Dover Bireet. Follow your leader," and on rushed Smith with 30 men behind him down Dover, past Water, past Front, into South, and thence onto the pier. One of Smith's own ships lay on tbe dock. A lighter lay inside of the main wharf. "Follow your leader," cried Smith, as ha plunged from tbe dock into the water. Some drew back, but others followed the leader, who succeeded in getting out of the ice-water on to the lighter, and from thence to the dock, and snouting 'Follow your leader," be led off in his frozen clothes up Dover and into the room of tbe club. Plunge, plunge, plunge, one after another, and so on, until all bad. successfully accomplished the freezing and dangerous feat. The Southern cotton merchant was last. Some of the regular club members remained until they saw him reach the dock: safely, and there they le.t him shivering. He did not remain long. As he walked up from the dock he noticed a large store open on South street. It was a shop of wholesale and retail ship stores. "I have met with an accident. Give me a glass of cognac, hot, with sugar and water." It was done, and he drank it. "Do you keep gunpowder?" he asked. Receiving an affirmative reply, he bought and paid for half a keg and then took it away to the club room. At the door were standing Mr. Lowe and Mr. Town, two members of tbe club. The latter exclaimed, "Brave Southern stranger, you have passed the ordeal safely. You are now leader, and we are deputed to place tbe club under your command if you choose to exert your sacred privilege." "Thanks, my friends, I shall do so, but I will not ask you to go out of the room this CJld night Let ns drink," and as he entered the cloak room he sought a Bide closet where hs hung his cloak. There he placed the keg and then returned and took a seat at tbe long, solid mahogany table. President Smith called the club to order. Tbe stewards for the night opened a dozen of champagne amid shouts, calls and songs of the most Btirring character. 'Order! Come to order!" exclaimed President Smith. When order was partially restored, he said: "Members of the club, our guest has passed the icy ordeal; he has now the right of becoming leader for the balance of the night or until a failure in our sacred rites. What says he?" The cotton merchant tcok from his bosom a bundle of tow, and laid it on the table. AH eyes were fixed upon him. "I accept the command. I will lead now. Wait unt'l I give the word, and then do as you see me do." By this time he had spun the tow into a string that would reach from the table to the grate. He placed a tumbler on one end of the tow to hold it on the table, and then passed the other to the pan under the grate, and made that fast with a piece of coal from the coal scuttle. Not a single word was spoken. All felt that something unusual was to occur. The cotton merchant now went deliberately to the closet, and returning with the keg took bis seat. Then he went to work and removed the hoops until he could take out the head of the little keg. Not a soul moved. Then he took a very little of what appeared to be black sand in his hand, walked to the fire and flung it in. The considerable explosion which followed startled all. "Powder, by Jupiter!" exclaimed Smith. The cotton merchant took the end of the tow-line from the glass and pushed it down deep into the powder in the keg. and then he reseated himself. "Now. Mr. President and members of the club, I wish you to hear what I have to say. You have tried my pluck. I come from a hot climate, and yon have made me go throneh an icy ordeal. It la my time now, but I will not be so cruel. I will give you a fiery ordeal to go through. If you stand it you will never need any more wine, and if you do not tbe fines will amount to a small fortune, and you will have enough to last your club a year. Look at me." lie walked to the fire, kicked off the coal lump and placed the other end of the tow-line in tbe red-hot coals. Then he walked back, and, as he brought his fist down upon the table, he said In tonea of thunder aa he eat down: "Keep your seats and thus follow your leader." The fire curled up in fitful spouts from the burning tow. It burnt over the pan, and the flames began to crawl along the carpet. It had eome 18 feet logo Sixty and odd eyfs watched the train. On man arose from his seat, then another. Finally one exclaimed: "We shall all be blown to old Nick!" and made for the door. The panic increased. Down stairs the club members pluDged like a flock of sheep. Even old Smith, the president, was among the first to bolt from the room Before the tow-line had burnt as far as the table all were gone but the cotton merchant. As soon as he saw that he was alcn he got up, placed his foot upon the burning tow, and quietly extinguished it Then he opened the window and emptied the keg into the snow, and again resumed his seat He waited a long time for the return of the club members. One by one they did com e back. There cotton eat unil Smith took his seat as president "Now call for fines," he said, and a severe lecture he gave them for their follies and cowardice. The club died long ago. Household Iteeipes.

Dr. Radway has furnished mankind with that wonderful remedy, Radway's Barsa parti lan Resolvent, which accomplishes this remit, and suffering humanity, who drag out an existence of pain and disease, through long days and long nights, owe him their gratitude. "Medical Messenger. FALSE AND TRUE. We extract from Dr. Radway's "Treatise on Disease and Its Cure,"s follows: LIST OF DISEASES CUBED BT Raitafi SarsaimlM Bosotoi Chronic Skin Disease, Carte of the Bone. Humors In the Blood, Scrofulous Diseases, Bad or Unnatural Habit of Body, Syphilis and Venereal, Fever Sores, Chronlo or Old Ulcers, Bait Rheum, Rickets, Wblte Swelling, Bcald Uead, Uterine Affections, Cankers, Glandulär Swellings. Modes, Wasting and Decay of the Body, Mm pies and Blotches, Tumors, Dyspepsia, Kidney and Bladder Diseases, Chronlo Rheumatism and Gout, Consumption, U ravel and Calculous Deposits, and varieties of the above complaints to which sometimes are given specious names. We assert that there is no known remedy that possesses the curative power over these diseases that Radway's Resolvent furnishes. It cures step by step, surely, from the foundation, and restores the Injured psrta to their sound condition. The wastes of the body are stopped and healthy blood la supplied to the system, from which new material Is formed. This is the first corrective power of Radway's Resolvent. In eases where the ' system has been salivated, aas Mercury, Quicksilver, Corrosive Sublimate have accumulated and become deposited in the bones, Joints, etc., causing carries of the bones, rickets, spinal curvatures, contortions, wblte swellings, vartoose veins, etc.. the Barsapanlllan will resolve away those deposits and exterminate the virus oi the disease from the system. If those wbo are taking these medicines for the cure of chronic. Scrofulous or Syphilitic diseases, however slow may be the cure, "feel better" and And their general health improving, their flesh fend weight increasing, or even keeping Its own. It Is a sure sign that the curs is progressing. In these diseases the patient either gets better or worse the virus of the disease la not inactive; if not arrested and driven from tbe blood It wUl spread and continue to undermine the constitution. As soon as the Rarsaparllllan makes the patient "feel better," every hour you will grow better, and Increase In health strength and flesh. OVARIAH TUTORS.
