The Boston Budget says some art of the opinion «that tlie Coddess oi Liberty on the silver dollar looks a; though she had lost something. She-’s lost lifteen cents she can’t find. The failures throughout the country, as reported by Di n & Co., forth* past week, indicate ii falling off in these disasters. The decline is said to be applicable to-every section, but especially in the Eastern and Middle - States.

Tiiehe have been three deaths ii: the national house of representatives this w inter—Elwood of Illinois, kin oi W iseinis^Hj Hah’n of Louis! Tina. With the other 'deaths in higt places, Washington lias been a scent of almost constant mourning. Hoxest civil service reform will b< brought about by putting honest aiit capable Democrats in public offices for which trustsflhe party is held re sponsible. If a bad appointment should be made, turn the rascal out Give the places to Democrats wht will reflect credit upon the people who put our party in power to brinj about these reforms, and deposed tht ltepublican party for dishonesty anti misrule.

The Hendricks monument association will shortly publish a full list 01 all the contributions received by then: from all sources. Unless more liai been done in the way of contributing to this fund than wo arc now aware of, we Tear Pike county will not show up credibly in the list In the meantime the local committee will beglai to receieve contributions for • tin monument, and wo tbist all who cat will donate liberally thereto. There are indications of an carlj end to the buncombe period in “Civt Setucice Reform.' The hi" sneet witl the opposition of practical thinking mew of both parties. Candid Jtepubli cans admit that it is not in harmom with the way they did business whet they were in power., and Democrat perceive that it is mei-ely an obstruc tion to the realization of the hope they justly had when I lie people votet to make a Democratic Administra tion. Indiana is a reinsrkablv health' State according to ti c official mortali tv figures. Out of a total, juimilatioi of 2,500y000 there were only 1C,00 deaths last, year, or about seven ti every me thousand in habitants. Dnr mg'the’same time tli«;re were abou 118.000 births, or an increase of 22,00 over the number of deaths.

ELECT GOOD HEN. The April elections* lire doubly important this year. The people have seen that incoinpeteiicv in the Trus- , tee’s office places the various funds in T such a mixed condition that years of 1 hal'd work is required to disentangle 1 affairs. The township's loss br anch mismanagement can not be estimated. , A Trustee who is not qualified is ccr- i i tain to mismanage tint finances; for 1 | carelessness, unfitness, and a general i recklessness with the {people’s mouc-y ! is ruinous to a township. It injures , the schools and everything to which the misused funds should apply. Place reliable men in the Trustee's office b- ’ all means. There wiill bo no complaints; and competency, excellent management, and good results will take the place of incoiupcntency. poor 1 management, and final ruin. “Elect good meu!” should be the cry from now until the last vote is polled. No man who wishes good township government should shirk his duty. He owes it to his family—his children, to elect a Trustee capable of managing the fund the County and State gives to educate his children. He owes it 1 to his neighborhood and every citizen of the township to vot<s for and aid in the election of a man 'who will zealously guard every fund, has proper judgment, and who is able "to perform every duty of the offi:e with , atisfaction to the people, lie is the maud Elect him! The Democratic * nominees in all the townships fill the , bill. No mistake will be made in selecting them; give them the support they deserve, all will be well. “Elect good men” is the universal cry. Heed it. The office of Assessor demands a man of unlimited knowledge of property values, besides other qualifications. They have additional duties to perform this year, a.i,»d care should be taken to select men who know their duties and will faithfully perform , them. The voter should not let tl.e-e elections go by default, but vote the whole ticket, and thus add his voice i to the cry for the election of competent men to the township offices.

Govenor Gray truthfully said in his letter to the Sheriff of Daviess eouuty, “Any attempt ny persons to take the law in their own hands must ber1 resisted to the fullest: extent, and if it becomes necessary you shall have all the assistance required to maintain the supremacy of the law and insure its due enforcement.” The triple hanging at Shoals brought forth this noble and courageous declaration from the Governor. He has grit, and proposes that law and order shall rule. If it does not and mobs are to take the law in their own hands, the State will bear the reputation of a wild western territory without law or courts, and the fair escuteheou of our State will be sullied, from wliieh it would take years to recover.

Quite # number of farmers in the eastern part of this State have readily bitten at the scheme presented to 1 them by a gang of swindlers, who , claim to represent a Xejnr York organ company. Iu order to introduce the j organ they propose to donate an ■ organ to a farmer iu each township ' in the county and only ask that the , freight be paid from Hew York City j to the nearest place to Where the par- i ty resides. Tire unsuspecting funnel 1 jumps at the bait and pays over the ' four dollars, the amount required to i pay the freight, and in two weeks re- i ceives the organ—a beautiful twenty- ’ live cent mouth organ. The most ap- 1 propnatc tunc the farmers can play , on their expensive instruments is: i “Oh! wouldn't I like 1:<> catch him!” I

nave occn lavoaun reponcu in both houses of Congress to pension till honorably discharged soldiers who are or may become disabled from performing manual labor, provided such disability shall not be the result of vicious personal habits or gross carelessness. The proposition is a just and reasonable one, and in per feet accord with the general theory of the pension system. Uiidoubtedly in most of such eases Ehirfossof health can be at least partially attributed to military service; and even if such were net the fact, the Government can well affords to ext end a helping hand to every man wine-, having once risked his life in its defense, shall be deprived of the power cf seif support. The Vincennes New s says we are a spoilsman. If wc are a spoilsman because wo want competent Democrats, placed on guard, under a Democratic) administration, then our gifted tViend Bailey has “sized us up.” We believe with flic New York Sun. which very c< rrectly and 1 lemucrafioally remarks, that ‘‘this in a government of party, and the party that is successful is entitled to put its own triemls on guard over the trusts tor which it is responsible. This has been the uniform rule, and whatever temporary vagaries may prevail for tire moment, It will al ways remain the rule.” The city c n licit of iSvausvill4ha ordered the telephouc poles and wilts > the Cumberland

The plan ot teaching siu in order to ivoid sinning, is, to say Ihe least, a rery questionable process. To illus‘rate: children at five or six years of ige enter school with a very small rocabularr, and, relatively, with an “xcccdiirgly small number of idioms it their command. All these words tnd idioms have been learned (as only tonventional forms of expression can »e learned), by imitation. With most children the pattern, of a| few idioms lave been incorrect, therefore the thild uses idioms, such as “them up” ‘I hain’t, “yon was.” etc. lie uses hose incorrect forms of expression, et it l)e remembered, because he has leard and imitated them. Now comes the favorite plan ofcor•eeling these forms of expressions. School-teachers, and text-bookmakers ;elleet, with great care, all the iucor•ect forms used by English-speaking reople. Day after day, week after xeek, and year after year, tiiese forms »f ungrammatical English arc prccipiated into the ears, and paraded before he eves of the innocent pupil. The nangled sentences are written upon ;heblackboard, read from printed textrooks, dinned into his ears, until ivhat ? Until lie knows all tire incorrect forms of speech invented siuee he days of Lindley Murray. The following story may be given ivitlr profit: “I believe,” said a vetern school - nastcr, addressing a meeting of felow teachers, “in writing incorrect icntenccs upon the blackboard? I ■rould keep them ever before my purils; I would let them gaze at them, •cad and study them until thev are itamped rnto their minds for,” risiug ike the crippled Wegg into poetry, “Vice is a monster of such hideous mien, To be hated needs but to b_‘ seen,” Then with arm poised in mid-air, ic paused, while his audience finishid the stanza for him, “But seen too oft, familiar with its face. We first endure, then pity, then embrace tmid great applause and laughter. There is but one simple, natural, ioinmon-sense way to correct verbal nistakes—to form the habit of accurite expression. Give the child plenty )f thinking to do; use oral and writen expressions continually, as a neaps of evolving thought power, iml never allow him to use an incorrect form. Let all bad habits die of iisuse or atrophy.—F. W. Parker iu Teachers’ Institute. Iu Saxony, while the cities are alowed to elect teachers from properly iresented and certificated candidates, i teacher can be removed only with he concurrence ,of the governmental uithority, after governmental examination.

Svaus, Smith and one Heath entered nto arrangements- to- re-open the aloou and continue business, to- the ■ffect that Heath was to act as Smith’s tar keeper until July, 1, 1886; that •'m'th authorized Heath to purchase >o;tds reasonably to carry on the bnsiiess, give receipts, sign Smith’s name o contracts as might be necessary to tarry out the arrangement;—that the ixtures and furniture should be sold o Heath, who was to act as barender and procure necessary help; hat Heath Should faithfully carry out he contract, and save Smith from irosccution, keep an orderly house, itc,; that all bills should be paid out if the receipts, Heath to tako a|^ irofits for service and all goods lought by him on Smith’s accouut vhen paid for, except $10 per month 0 be paid to Evans as rent, Evans laving leased this day to Smith.

The saving of labor, safety against lire, ease of management, perfectness of opera tion, durability and economy of fuel, renders them far superior to anything in the way of a cooking apparatus ever placed upon the market. Years of investigation, experience and practical tests have demonstrated these to be incontrovertible facts. Practical experience is iiotent and absolute, and by that severe test we have carefully tried every progressive step and change in the construction of the ranges.

n nemarKaoie uure or a norse. Col. James L. Fleming-» prominent grocery merchant, a member of the firm of Fleming & Lofton, Augusta, Ua., mates the following statement of the treatment of a valuable horse with Swift’s Specific: In the fall of 1888I had a valuable colt taken with a severe case of pinkeye, which resulted in a most fearful case of blood poisoning I have ever seen. After eight or nine months of doctoring .with every remedy that I could hear of, I despaired of a cure, At this time the horse was unable to move, because of swollen lliubs. His right hind leg was as large as a man’s body, and had on it over forty runntug sores. lie had also a number of large sores on his body and other limbs. He was a most pitiable looking object, and I was advised to end his sufferings with the shot-gun. He was a valuable animal and I did not want to lose him. After raeklng my brain in search for another remedy more efficacious, I thought of Swift’s Specific. I knew It was luvuluuble to the human family us a blood purifier, and why should it uol be for the animal as well T 1 did uot hesitate, but sent last July to Atlauta for a supple. I began the treatment with 4 oz of S. S. f* and 4 oz. of water three times a day. Tills I continued for a week. Then I increased the dose to 6 oz. or eaeh, and continued for a week. Then I increased to 8 oz. and run it a week, when I went back to 6 ox. again. The result was that at the end of the first week the horse had a fair appetite, whleti he had not laid since his sickness. At the end of the second week even great improvement was apparent, for many of the sores were healing nicely, and the horse manifested a desire to move about. At. the end ol the third week he began to show gain in^tfesh upd had ftill appetite. The swelling hail abotf^disappeerod. I used 111 ell about 15 bottles of Swift’s Specific, and when I quit Its use the horse had only four small sores left on him, anil they healed up immediately. ! In August last all symptoms of the disease passed away, and up to date no signs of the return of the trouble have made their appearance, ai d the horse lias done a mule's work on my farm. I regard it one of the most remarkable cures I have ever known. Thus tills great medicine has proven a boon to the animal as well as to the human race. J AS. L. FI-EMIXG. Augusta, Ga., Jail. 9,1885.
