THE MORTGAGED HOME, . BY EMMA GARRISON JONES. . “More money? Why, yoil think it grows on trees, don’t you, Bess? It was only last week that I gave you fifty dollars.” : : ; “So you did, John, but it is all gone and this is market morning.” = |
“All gone, of course! = You women are always preaching to us of extravagance, if we happen to indulge in a quarter drink, or a ten-cent cigar, but you can get away with fifty dollars in a week's time and bave nothing to show for it.” i Sty
“That’s' true, especially when one has a family like our’s to provide for —four growing children besides ourselyes and the servant, and provisions all quite high. . Thfi money slips away, and as you say, there’s little to show sfor it; but I certainly do not waste a cent. You see dear,” and the little woman counted on her fingers, “fifteen . dollars went for cloth for your 'suit, to begin with; five more for cloth .for the boys; then the material for your shirts was five<hore, and Letty’s wages made six, making thirty-one; and that left me only nineteen for the table, and out of that I bought coal—” ' “Oh, my dear, hush! I don’t want you to give an account of what you spend—nothing, of the sort, I assure you. . ’Tis as much yours as mine. Spend it as you like.” - Mrs. Braxton smiled. 3 Faiieim)
“I always try to spend it to the best advantage, John, and for such things as will make my family comfortable. Suppose for the coming week we both take the same amount, and on. Saturday night compare notes.” 3 “Oh pshaw! what’s the use?”
~ “To see who spends the most.” “Why, you do, Bess, of course.. I spend little or nothing on myself. There isn’t a more economical man in town.” o . : :
“Veryv well, let’s do as I say. ' How much can you let me have to-day ?” “Here’s fifty more, Bess.” ; “Thank you, and how much have you ?” “I’ve thirty-five—the sum total of my possessions till pay-day comes round, and that’s a fortnight off. You mugt make the money go as far as you-can, Bess.. I wouldn’t be hard on you for the world, but I'm afraid you are a bit extravagant, and the times are awtully hard.” . i
Mr. Braxton went *down tewn to his office, and his wife went to market with a quiet smile on her face.
The week went by, bringing the usual family casualities. Two of the cliildren required new school-books, ong a pair of shoes, Neddy’s boats had to 'be half-soled, and baby took the croup, and incurred a doctor’s bill and all these sundries were paid out of mamma’s pocket. In addition, Mr. Braxton had company to dine, which involved some extra -expense. The week ended and Saturday night came. At supper the father’s brow was clouded. He had no smile for his wife, no pleasant word for his children. : v
- “What is-it, dear ?” his wife askedj/ when the table was cleared away, and the. little ones weére in bed. “What troubles you ?”’ : - “Oh, DBess, it’s that confounded mortgage; it’ll be the ruin of us yet. It gives me the blues every time I think of it.” 0
~ “lus a great pity, John, we ever incumbered ourselves with it.” “That’s “a fact. ’Twill leave the children without a roof to shelter ’em one of these days. But how the deuee could we help it?” We were compelled to have money.”. £ b “Yes, after the debts were incurred. Some of them might have been avoidCd.” « %
. “Some of them? What do you mean? Why in thunder don’t you avoid them, then? You preach, but you don’t practice, Bess. How am I to save money- when you’re- always spending it ?” “I don’t spend no more than is needful, John, as you’ll see presently.— This is our night for comparing notes, you remember. Here’s my week’s account all down in black and white, and I’ve just twenty idollars.. Now for yours, John.” . Mr. Braxton drew forth his pocketbook with alacrity. : | “Dear me! I've spent little or nothing, Bess, I assure you.” Let’s se}a-— how much had I?” ' . “Thirty-five dollars, John.” .
“So I had. Well, here’s ten, fifteen, seventeen dollars. Where’s the rest? By George! I can’t have lost it.” “It isn’t likely, John.” . “Well, what’s become of it, Bess? I haven’t let yqu have it?” . ; - “No; you've spent it, John.” g “No, I haven’t spent it. I tell you T’ve spent nothing this week.”
- “Well, count up your expenses, John. I’ll put down theitems. What did you spend on Monday ?” , “On Monday? Well, I hag—let’s see—three drinks. I ‘usually have three drinks a day.” : 5 “How much was that? - Seventycents ?” ;
“No, Barnes and Packard were with me in the morning.”
“And you-paid for all? That was one and a quarter, then; and how much for cigars ?” o “Well, we had half a dozen.” “Ten cents apiece ?” S
“No, Bess. What do you take me for? I can’t smoke a common cigar -- twenty cents.” “Very well, a dollar and twenty more. Well, what else ?” | “Nothing of any account—only lunch, that’s’ seventy-five. And: by George, I forgot the supper at Frizbie’s; that cost us five dollars a head.” “Yes, and you’ve been to the opera, haven’st you? Two dollars more—" “More than that, Bess. We dropped into Vivant’s for a drink —" . “Which cost you—" ° “Well, there were some six or seven clerks along, and a fell!x.' hates to be mean.. It was over five {that night, Bess.” . L
' Bess laughed, and threw aside her pencil. “No need to take down any more items, John—you see how it goes. You haven’t lost your money; vou’ve spent it.” : “I believe I have, Bess. I'm done. T'lll never say another word to you about extravagance while I live.” _ “But I've something- to say to you, John, You're anxious to be rid of this mortgage, you say. Suppose you let me pay it oft ?” ok : “You, Bess? Why it’s nine hundred dollars, little woman.” “I know, and you’ve spent eighteen dollars this week; you spend as much and more sometimes, every week, John.” , “Ob,no. Pess” . ..o ¢
“Well, hear me out! Promise to give up the cigars, and the drinks and the wine suppers, John, for two years, and let me manage the money.\ I don’t want to deprive you of any comfort, but I'm sure you'll fell all the better for the sacrifice and we oufiht-to think of the children, John, and be willing to deny ourselves for their sakes. Yeowll promise, won’f you, dear ?” Sl e
John looked at her with her great pile of mending on her jap, her face growing wangand worn with household care, andhis heart smote him.
“Yes, I'll promise, Bess. I've been a selfish fiellow, but I never thought of it till now. Poor, pale little wife, will you forgive me?” . : ‘Bess answered him with a kiss, and on the morrow the new life began.
' No more waifing {dinners, no more late hours at night, no ‘more unpaid bills. The household matters went on like clock-werk; and the old girlish bloom and brightness came back to the wife’s fade. : : The table was never| stinted. Tt was always vabundantly and neatly spread, and they had tpeir‘ wonted pleasure, too, in the way’ of . books and amusemeng, and all hands were genteelly clad. * o f “How:nicely we get on, Bess, and how fresh and bright you look.

What Might, Follow an Obstruction ' of the Count. i The decision of the Electoral Tribunal to count the electoral vote of Louisiana for Hayes and Wheeler has changed the turrent of speculation in regard to the issue of the presidential contest. If the formal deelaration of the election of Hayes be defeated by obstructions recognized by parliamentary law, it is a question in some minds who will fill the office of Executive during the interregnum between the expiration of the present administration and the time fixed for a new election by the act of 1792. - It is claimed that the act passed upon the authority accorded by the constitution to Congress to arrange the details of an electien of President does not cover the emergency which would arise in: the event of a failure to declare the.candidate elected in November last. The act simply pro-. vides for succession in the ecase of| removal, death, resignation, or inabil: ity of both President and Vice-Presi-dent of the United States, but does not contemplate the administration, of the executive authority of the Gov-' ernment during an interregnum. It is not yet detinitely determined what will be the policy of the Democrats in view ofithe now certain result of the electoral count being in favor of Hayes, but it is a question which disturbs judicial officers of the Government as to whether the presiding officer of the Senate has authority to assume the reins of the Government.; In event of the probability of an emergency of this kind occurring it is believed that it will be necessary for- Congress to enact a law to meet this contingency, otherwise the country may find itself without executive authority.—Philadelphia Press. :

To the surprise of every ‘member of the Electoral Commission when Bradley, the President maker, arose to have his say in the Louisiana farce, he took from his pocket a written decision which had been prepared on the preceding night before he had heard a single argument p7O 07 con on the case. Seeing that his remarkable course was a matter of amazement to the democratic members at least, he tried to explain by saying that he was nervous and always put his opinions in writing and that in the present case he intended to make changes if convinced by the arguments of the counsel or members. It is needless to say he was not convinced. He had no intention of being convinced. The case was pre-judged in Bradley’s mind and all thelaw and logic in the universe could not have affected the result.— Wabash Courter:. Do i

DIPHTHERIA.
A Well Indorsed Repedy for This
ITerrible Disease.
NEW HAYEN, CONN. . EpiTorß JOURNAL: —ln perusing your valuable paper, whichisreceived daily, I learn with sadness and regret that the diphtheriais prevailingin your city to an alarming extent. Enclosed you will find an article cut from the Towa -State Register about a year or two since, in which is a recipe for diphtheria. Having used it with much success in my own home and among friends, and thinking it might still benefit others, I havethought best to send it to you for publication. Yours, ete., r o EoBAR,
The following was published in the Register some time since, andwe are informed by several experienced nurses that they have frequently tested its efficacy and found it an invariable cure. In view of-the fact that this dreaded disorder is again quite prevalent in this vicinity, we republish the article: o :
Please publish the following treatment of diphtheria. It has been used by myself and others to whom I have given it, in over ome thonsand cases without a {failure. It will always cure, 1f the treatment is commenced before the diphtheria membrane extends intotheair tubes, which is known by the great difficulty of breathing and restlessness. ~ln such cases no remedy yet discovered will always effect a cure; but if the patient is watched, and this treatment used in time, there is no danger. Sl I sent this treatment to a friend of mine in ‘Wisconsin, and he used it on himself aud family and his neighbors with such wonderful success that he requested me' to send it to you for publication, as this terrible disease is prevailing extensively in some parts of Towa. | S %

. . Put all intoa common sized tea cup or a vessel which holds about four ounces and pour half full of boiling water, stir it well and then fill fulliof good vinegar. Fit for use when it settles. Make a swab by cutting a little stick about the size of a pipe stem, notch one end, and wrap a string of cotton cloth around it; letting. the cloth project about half aninch beyond the end of the stick, so ‘as not to jag the mouth and throat, and fasten with a thread. : o Swab the mouth and throat well every half hour if the case is very bad. _When the patient gets better, every two hours; then, when better, every four hours, and when still better, two or three times a day, till well; which will be from two to seven days.— Touch every affected spot, the uvula, tonsils and fauces, the whole of the back part of the mouth,and top of the throat, and let the patient swallow a little of the wash each time you swab. Swabbing causes no pain, pa Let every patient have a separate swab and wash, as the disease is undoubtedly infectious. Keep the wash pure by pouring what you use#feach time into another vessel, and alsgiwipe off :any matter or slime; that - be on the swab, every time you take it from the ‘mouth. - | e
‘Rub the following liniment on the throat,outside, once every 3 or 4 hours, and keep a flannel cloth around the neck till well: ' . ;
Spirits of turpentine, 1 oz. Sweet oil (or linseed oil,) 1 oz. Aqua ammonia (mix,) 1 oz. Shake before using each time. Keep the bowels regular with castor oil. : iyt : (e
Keep the patient in- the house, but ventilate well. The diphtheria wash and liniment will be found sufficient for all cases if taken in time; and should you mistake any other sore throat for diphtheria you will effect a cure almost invariably, as I use this for all common sore throats. I have never lost a case, and many have told me that no money would induce them, in these “diphtheria times,” to be without the wash and liniment; and when a soreness in the throat is felt, it is used and a cure is always effécted.” St -Your friend, . | . - Dr, A.

Bredthing Miasma Without Injury. There is noexaggeration in the statement that thousands of persons residing frem. one year’s end to another'in fever and ague regions on this continent or elsewhere, breathe air more or less impregnated with miasma, without incurring the diseas®, simply and only because they are in the habit of ‘using Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters as a preventive. It has frequently happened, and the fact has been amply attested by the parties themselves, that persons surrounded on all sides by neighbors suffering the tortures of this shivering and burning plague, have enjoyed absolute immunity from it, thanks to the protection afforded by the Bitters. Nor is that standard anti-febrile cordial less efficacious in remedying than in preventing chills and fever, billious remittents, and disorders of a kindred type. Taken between the paroxysms, it speedly mitigates their violence, and eventually prevents their recurrence. These facts, codvinecingly established by evidence, appeal with peculiar force to travelers and sojourners in malarious districts. ; ol 45-BW.
| The Electoral Commission was created o decide “which is the true and lawful electoral vote of such State.” The Compromise ‘was accepted as a tribunal that should go to the bottom of all alleged frauds and rascalities, and sustain both law and equity. It has proved to be as base and scoundrelly a returning board as those it was created to investigate. It hasdecided not to go behind the returns as made up by the Kelloggs, Wells, Chamberlains, and Stearns. The Commission has defeated the ends of its own creation and has torfeited all claims upon public confidence and respect by ifs rascally actions. The Commission isbent on counting in Mr. Hayes at all hazards.: Gov. Hayes said at the close of thecampaign: “No man is fit-to be President ,or even the candidate of a great pa;ty%who would accept the position tainted by fraud.” How he can accept. a stolen Presidency in the face of his own declaration, remains to be seen.—Kokomo Demoerat. : sl
- We have no word of censure for the Democrats who framed the “High Commission” and voted for it. They supposed that gentlemen taken from the Supreme Court would settle the difficulty according to the law and facts; they could not believe that they were to have a second edition of the scoundrels who acted as the Returning Boards of Florida and Louisiana. The Supreme Court will never command the respect it did before thig trial.. They are partisans and not judges.— Winamac Democrat.
“A Way Out for Simon.” . | . Under the above caption the N. Y.l Sun comes to the rescue of U. S. Sen-! ator Simon Cameron and tells him how to get out of his little difficulty, with the widow Oliver wlro sued him for $50,000 worth of breach of prom-. ise. The Sun’s tender suggestion runs Hkethi: = vt
1 Now, suppose that a commission of fifteen be constituted, seven to be chosen by Simon, seven by the Widow, and the odd man by the side which plays the sharper game. Suppose, for instance, that Simon puts forward Morton, as an expert likely to stand by him in such an emergency, and fills his quota with Senators and representatives and Pennsylvania legislators of whose partisanship he feels sure. Suppose that the Widow trusts her cause to Senator Christiancy, whose indignation at the alleged misconduct of Cameron knows no bounds, and to six other statesmen naturally inclined to sympathize with the Treasury Department in' disputes of the kind. Suppose that after much plotting on one side and counterplotting on the other, the Commission is completed by the choice of Justice Joe Bradley as the fifteenth man, and that his unrivalled acumen and undisputed impartiality are brought to bear upon the question. " R The tribunal meets, and with much solemnity announces its readiness to hear both sides. The Widow, shedding many tears, tells her story, and astonishes everybody by submitting letters in Simon’s own handwriting; containing explicit offers of matrimony. Morton struggling .to his feet, moves that these be not admitted as evidence. The Senator, he argues, is (1) plainly not 4 married man, and this undisputed fact is prima facie proof that he never intended to be married; (2) the Senator is, on his own declaration, not a fool, and nobody but a fool would think of marrying at his time of life—prima facie evidence again that the Widow is a fraud. The Commissiou, by a vote of eight to seven, Justice Joe Bradley throwing the decisive vote, holds that it cannot go back of Simon Cameron’s present status as an unmarried man, and on this basis gives judgment against the Widow, without so much as having read the letters. | - Would not such a decision, by such a tribunal, be accepted as conclusive by every fair-minded statesman and widow in the United States? .:And would it not be highly safisfactory to old#*Simon? - i
; The Corruption Fund. - The persistency of | Morton in.following up the Oregon business and endeavoring to force the production of Tilden’s bank: account by the cashier, Jourdan, has led the Democrats to:determine on retaliatory - exposures. Since some wagon-loads. of telegrams were delivered to the House by the Western Union authorities, there has been, -as the reader has doubtless noticed, a rather remarkable silence in the current news dispatches as to the contents of the bonanza. = This sudden reticence is now in part explained. So much guestionable stuff was found on both sides that a treaty was quickly patched up by the leaders, in which they bound themselves to leave such matters as the personal expenditure of prominent men untouched. Morton has violgtea the treaty, it seems, and now dispatches are t(; be produced by the other side showing that, at the urgent solicitation of Hayes, no less than: $268,000 was sent, to Ohio to save him from the mortification and disaster of losing his own State.+ It is further intended to show: by copies ot telegrams that the enormous sum of $500,000 was entrusted to Morton for the purpose of buying up the three Statesof the Pacific slope. Ever since ithe election it has beeu known that monstrous frauds were perpetrated- in San Francisco, where fraudulent votes were mnotoriously casf to a number greater than the Hayes majority; and this revelation will explain how they' were procured. The expenditure of more than a quarter of a million for corrupt purposes under the very nose of Hayes, and at his solicitation, accounts for the casting of Ohio’s vote for her “favorite son.” The Hayes majority in the Buckeye State cost not far from fifty dollars for each vote composing it.— Chicago Times. _ pn
BENEFITS OF ADVERTISING. — A week or two ago we made mention of the largeamount expended by the firm Feder & Siberberg, of Rochéster, in the single expense of advertising, and the benefits they had derived:therefrom. The C. O. D. clothiers in this place inform us that from October 14 to January 1 they paid out $416.55 for advertising, and they are fully convinced that it paid them, and paid them largely to do so. Their sales during that time, we are infornied, have been immeénse, and includes customers from every point where the Indianian circulates, not only in, but outside the county. "The truth isthat advertising is a recognized means of getting ‘before the public, by prompt, energetic, fair dealing men, and as necessary an expense to an establishment that desires to do business, as rent and clerk hire. In fact, itis a more necessary expense than either, for it brings the customers to the door, and without customers clerks are useless and rent an extra expense.— Warsaw Indienian. | ph e
COME IN LITTLE BLUE JEANS!— The correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette tells the following pleasant little story: At thg Occidental Hotel, where Governor Williams has his head-quarters, Mrs. Dessar, a, very handsome lady, boards, who has a little wide awake four or five year old daughter. This little daughter, the other ' day, captured a little grand daughter of Governor Williams in the hall, and insisted that she should come to her mother’s room. ' Her manner of introduction was funny. "While her little new found friend hung baghfully against the door-post, with her finger in her mouth, she stepped in and said: “Mamma thisis little Blue Jeans, and don’t be afraid; its my mamma.” Her mother some what mortified, reprimanded . her, but Ilittle Jessie couldn’t see why, if her friend’s grandpa was Blue Jeans, she should not be little Blue Jeans, and little Blue Jeans she bids fair to be called by all in the house.’ 2 pl o :
In many of the Western and some of the Middle States facts are coming to light showing that there has been in operation a grand plan of rascality whose purposes has been the forging of land titles. In Illinois and Missouri, we learn that a large number .of suits are pending in U. 8. Courts which are aimed directly at the titles of property now occupied by people in whose family it has been for generations. - Whole countiesare involved in dispute, the supposed work of a set of scoundrels who have been gecretly engaged in stealing and forging deeds in order to oust the real owners of their property.
