A PAPER

FOR THE PEOPLE.

THE COST OF A FA VOJTLTJB FULL

Sealskin is a very fashionablo fur this win tor, taking precedence over every other skin for ladies' wear, and for that matter, for gentlemen's articlos, coats, caps, mufflers, gloves, 'lc. There may be among our readers some who are ig

norant

of the manner in which the soil

and rich hkiu is obtained: The time chosen is, unfortunately the very period that, of others, ought to be kept close. Except for a very short season of the year, the seal lives, to all intents and purposes, on the open sea. But the female, when about to bring forth, seeks the shelter of tho shore, where she suckles avid watches her cubs until they are old enough to shift for themselves. At this time, wherever there are seals along tho coast, large herds of them will be found from a quarter to hall a mile inland. The proportions are very much like those ol a urove of deer. The main body will consist often of several hundred females, each with ono or two helpless little ones, while the males hang about the outskirts of the ilock, and relieve tho monotony of their existence on shore bv obstinate and sanguinary pitched "battles with one another. As soon as a herd of this kind is spied, the boats are manned and the whole vessel's crew, armed, with blndgeons and axes, starts upon a "cutting-out expedition," at the horrors of which humanity may well shudder. 'I he only way to effectually kill a seal with completeness and dispatch is by a heavy blow with a bludgeon, or a deep blow with an axe, so as either to crush or sever the nasal bones and whon the boats' crews have got ashore an indiscriminate slaughter is commenced, the whole herd being often butchered bolero a single one can reach tho water's edge. The tumult and hurry of tho attack being over, the real work commences. The adult quarry is skinned with all possible haste, and as often as not with the life still in it. Tho cubs, who lie whinueying and moaning by the side of their dams, are knocked on the head, if big enough to givo their Air any value, and it too small to be worth the skinning, aro left without oven tho mercy of a coup de grace. Old seal hunters tell us—and we can well believe it—that it takes a man sometime to get used to such cruel butchery, and thxttho half-human wailing of the little calves, as thev flop and roll about the mangled carcass of their mother, is something that, until he be hardened to the work, will make his sleep uneasy at night. To put the thimj in anot hershape, wo m*v roughly way that tho trim sealskin jacket, of which its fair owner is so proud, which becomes her so welt, and which keeps out the cold, represents some half-dozen dams who have more or less been skinned alive, while their little ones have been left to die in all tho slow agwnv of starvation. Mephistopheles himself might well laugh at poor Marguerites ignorant delight over such a lure.

RISE OF THE HANDKERCHIEF.

Until tho reigu of tho Empress Josephine, a handkerchief was thought in France so shocking an object that a lady would never have dared use it before anyone. The word was even carefully avoided retincd conversation. An actor who Would have used a handkerchief on tho stage even in the most tearful moments of the play, would have been unmercifully hissetl ami it was only in tho beginning of tho present century that a celcbraUul aclress, Mile Duchcsnoise, dared to appear with a handkerchief in her hand. Having to speak of this handkerchief in tho course of tho piece, she never could summon enough courage to call it by its truo name, but referred to it as a "light tissue. A few years later, a translation of one ofShakspeare's plays, by Alfred do Vigny, having been acted, the word handkerchief was used, for the lirst time, amid criesof indignation from a groat part of the house. I doubt if even to-day French elegantes would carry handkerchiefs if the wife of Napoleon" I. had not given the signal for adopting them. The Empress Josephine, although really lovely, had ugly teeth. To conceal them she was U2 the habit of carrying small handkerchiefs, adorned with costly laces, which she continually raised gracefully to licr lips. Of courso all tho ladies of the court followed hor example, and handkerchiefs have rapidly become an important and costly juirt of the female toilet so much so "that the price of a single handkerchief of the trouseau of tho Duchess of Edinburgh would make the fortune of a necessitous family.

AN UNFORTUNATE ILLUSTRATION.

A Hardshell preacher wished to*bring forth a good illustration, as^ie thought, and Jhcnco he took a "warnut." as he called it, into the pulpit with him, and something crack it with. On holdin it up. in the course of his sermon, ho said "My friends, you see this warnut—well, this outer hull hero is- Hko tho Methodists soft and spongy,with nostrength to It see, I even break it with my Angers." ami suiting the action of the words he disclosed the inner hull and said, "This is like the Missionary Baptists, hard and'dry, with no substance in it but the kurnel—the kurnol, my friends, is like the good old primitive, full ol fatnass and sweetness." Ho then proceeded to crush tho "warnut" and give his hearers an oceular demonstration of his illustration, but behold, it was rotted and to the utter astonishment of bis hearer®, he cried out, "By jins, it's rod en

THK Rev. Dr. Deems, of New York, said, in his sermon last Sunday: "To inv mind the four sweetest things in tho world are—first, baby girls' second, babv boys third, ripe, good old men fourth, ripe, good old ladies." That is verv nearly our creed, but wo rattier think wo like a hnalthy mother-in-law best. And next, a ripe, good old man, who sits quietly in the earner and tells lies alxml how far 1 used to walk to school through the snow when he was a boy, and how he used to come home and saw up a cord of wood before supper, instead of sneaking in tho back door for his skates, as 1MVS do nowadays.—[Mil. Sent.

Ts there any person you wish nifl to marrv?" said a wife to "a dying spouse, who had been somewhat of a tyrant in his day. "Marry the devil if yon like," was the gruff reply. No, I thank yon, my dear, ono husband of the same family enough for nip."

FOR

lars," said a destitute man to his friend, "I have had nothing in my house to eat for four days but rice." "Rice!" said the other, "If I had known you had rice I would have oome around to dinner."

BALKY HORSES

The Society for the Prevention of cruelty to Animals, put forth a set of rulos tor the treatment of balky horses 1. Pat the horse upon the neek exa mi no the harness carefully, first on one sido and then on the other, speaking encouragingly while doing so then jump into the wagon and givo the worn go generally he will obey. 2. A teamster in Maine says he can start the worst balky horse by taking him out of tho shafts and making him ffo around in a circle till bo is giddy. If the first dance of this sort does not euro him, the second will. 8. To euro a b#ky horse, simply place your hand over the horses nose and shut off his wind until ho wants to go. 4. Tho brain of a horse seems to entertain but one idea at a time therefore confirmed whipping only confirms his stubborn resolve.

YOUSO

you can, bv any

means, give him a now subject to think of, vou will generally have no trouble in starting him. A simple remedy is to take a couple of turns of stout twine around tho

foreleg,

just below tho knee,

tight enough for the horse to feel, and tie in a bow knot. At the first chock he will generally go dancing oil, and after going a short distance you can get out and remove the string, to prevent injury t« the tendon in your further drive. o* Take tho tail of tho hurse between tho hind logs, and tie it by a cord to the saddle girth. 6. Tie a string around tho horse's ear, close to his head.

A SINGULAR story of joalousy and revenge comes to us from Sicily. A beautiful young girl named Fiorina, who was the belle of a traveling circus, in which she figured as the lion tamer, had been for some time receiving the attentions of an athlete belonging to the same troupe. By somo means she ascertained that lie was not faithful to her, but had another lady love. No signs, however, of hor painful discovery were allowed to escape. Slio still smiled sweetly upon him, but responded coldly to his ardent caresses. In ner own bosom she planned the terriblo revenge. One evening re cently, whon the performance had been unusually brilliant—after Fiorina had whipped tho lions and forced them to lie at her feet—she called her recreant lover aside and said to him: "Do you still love me?" "Always," ho answered. "Do you know that I should die if you should devote yourself to another

Wlmt an idea!" "responded the young man. "But I should first kill you," said Fiorina. "And how would you do that?" "Thus," cried the girl, at the same instant pushing him violently into the cage of the lions. They attacked the unfortunate man at once and tore him to pieces, while Fiorina urged them on with blows of her whip.

DON'T DO IT.

[Logansport Pharos.]

Don't lie. Common vices are always vulgar. Don't swear. A simple "statement" is disgusting enough nowadays.

Don't gossip. The devil's peddlers are poorly paid. Don't croak. No man is generous enough to pet a raven.

Don't gush. Wise men arc usually silent. Don't hold your head too high. Gold does not rise like a feather.

Don't "rest and dream of Heaven."" "VVake up and try to get there. Don't say that "all the world is selfish." A great many men will not keep a secret.

Dont boast of your personal appearance. The finest looking man in New York is in Sing Sing.

A MAN WHO CANNOT TELL 1

[From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.] It ought to take Robert a life-time, however, to get over the ridicule which has been justly heaped upon him for being made such an arrant fool of :aafhe was by tbe Katie King "spook." A man who can not tell a plump, good looking woman who reclines in nis arms, talks to him, gives him a lock of hor hair, and breathes the breath of onions and boarding house !hash straight into his face— who can not tell such a creature from a woman who has been dead two band red years, is certainly in a bad way.

man from tho country lately

volunteered his services to gsSlant a young lady home from a party. On his way, he cudgeled his brains for some interestrng topic of conversation to amuse her -with, but in vain hecould hit upon nothing until they met several cows, when the swain said, with'much simplicity of manner: "Now, isn't it strange what a motherly appearance a cow has?" To which the young lady replied: "I do think it strange, sir, that a cow should have a motherly appearanco to a calf!"

We learn from a New York letter that as dull as are the times, and as hard as money is to get, it is a singular thing that the places of amusement are better patronised than over. The opera, with seats at ft, is crowded the theatres are ftill nightly, and the drinking-houses, and the more fashionable restaurants, whore a dinnercosts from ft to 96, have lost none of their patronage.

INFLUENZA.

Influenxa is an epidemic affection, characterized by bronchitis. It diffuses ttsolf rapidly all over the country and ily separated countries. During its r.^.alence, a large numbei- of persons of all ages are simultaneously affected. In some epidemics the fatality has been large, but in most ca*es has developed intooth«r more serious disease*. During the prevalence of Influenxa, other diseases are not usually aa severe. The duration of an attack of Inftuenm Is from three to ten days. To most effectually enre this disease on tbe outset is to use Dr. Hedges' Pulmonic Life Balaam. The bowels should be opened thoroughly by taking two or three of Father Darlington's Pooular Pills. In aged and feeble persons, tonics and sup-

SIJEIUDAN'S OFFICIAL REPORT.

WASHINGTON, January

9,—The

ing official dispatch from Oen. Sheridan, was received here

late last

night.

HBADqUARTERS MILITARY DIVISION OF THK MISSOURI,

To the Hon. W. W. Belknap, Secretary of War, Washington, D. C.: I have the honor to suomit the following brief report of affairs as they occurred herein the organisation of the slate leg islature, January 4th, 1875: 1 was not in command of this military department until 9 o'clock at night on the 4th inet., but fully endorse, and am willing to be held responsible for the acts of the military, as conservators of the public peace upon that day. During the few days which 1 was in the city prior to the 4lh of January, the general topic of conversation was toe scenes of bloodshed that were liable to occur on that day, and 1 repeatedly heard threats ol the assassination of the governor, and regrets expressed he was not killed on the 4th of September also threats of the assassination of republican members of the house in order to secure the election of a democrat as speaker also knew of tho kidhapping by the bandits of Mr. Cousin, one of the members elect to 1 he legislature. In order to preserve peace and make the

Btat-

house safe for the peaceable assembling of the legislature, Gen. Emory, upon a requisition of the governor, stationed troops in the vicinity of the building. Owing to these precautions the legists* lure assembled in the slate house without any disturbance of the peace. At 12 o'clock, Mr. Vigors, clerk of the last house of representatives, proceeded to call the roll, as according to law he was empowered to do. One hundred an£ two legally returned members answered lo their names. Of this number fiftytwo were republicaus and fifty democrats. Before entering the house, L. A. Wiltz had been select* in caucus as the democratic nominee for speaker, and Michael Hahn a6 the republican nomi* nee. Vigors had not fiuished announcing the resultwhen one of the members, Billen, of Lafounche, nominated L. A. Wiltz for temporary speaker. Vigors promptly declared the motiou out of order at that tiuie, when some one put the question, and amid cheers on the Democratic side of the house Wiltz dashed on to the rostrum, pushed aside Vigors, seized the speaker's chair and gavel, and declared himself speaker. A protest against this arbitrary and unlawful proceedings was promptly made by the members of the majority, but Wilts paid no attention to these protests, and on motion from some one on the democratic side ol the house, it was declared thai one Trszevant was nominated and elected clerk of the house. Trezevant at once sprang forward and occupied the clerk's chair ainidst the wildest confusion of the whole house. Wiltz then again, on another nomination from the democratic side, declared that one Flood was elected sergeant-at-arms, and ordered a certain number of assistants to be appointed. Instantly a large number of men throughout the hall, who had been admitted on various pretexts, such as reporters, members friends and spectators, turned down the lapels of their coats, upon which were pinned blue ribbon badges, on which were printed in gold letters the words, "Assistant sergeant-at-arms," and the assembly was in the possession ef the minority and of tbe white league of Louisiana who had made good its threat of seizing the house. Many of the assistant sergeants-at-arms being well known as captains of white league companies in this city. Notwithstanding the suddenness of this movement, the leading republican members had not failed to protest again and again against thi3 revolutionary action of the minority, but all to. no purpose. And many of the republican members roee and left Uie house in a body, together with clerk Vigors, who carried with him the original roll of the house, as returned by the secretary of state. The excitement was now very great, and the acting speaker directed the sergeant-at-anms to prevent egress or ingress of mem hers or ethers, and several exciting scuffles in which pistols and knives were drawn took place, and for a few moment* it seemed as if bloodshed would ensue. At this juncture Mr. Dupre, democratic member (rom Orleans ptrish, moved that the military power of the gen«ral government be invoked to preserve peace, and a that committee be appointed to wait upon Gen. DeTrobriand, commanding officer of the United States troops atationedjtf the state house, and request his assistanee in clearing the lobby. The motion was adopted, and a committee of five, of which Mr. Dupre was chairman, was sent to wait upon Gen. DeTrobriand and soon returned with that officer, who was accompanied by tw» of his staff officers. A A Gen DeTrobriaod walked down to tbe speaker's desk, loud applause burst irom I he democratic aide of the house. Jen. De Trobriand asked the acting speaker if it were not possible for him to preserve order without appealing to him to preserve order as an officer of the U. 8. artny. Wilts said it was not, whereupon the

proceeded to the lobby and adressing a few words to the excited crowd peace was at once restored. On notion, Wilts then, in the uame of the general assembly of the state of Louisiana, thanked Geo. De Trobriand for his interference in behalf of law and order, ••d the general withdrew from the bouoe. The republicans had generally withdrawn from the hail snd united in signing a petition to the governor, stating their grievances snd asking his aid, which petition, signed by fifty-two legally returned members of the house. Ira mediately, subsequent to the action of Wilts, in ejecting the clerk of the old house, Mr. Billien moved that two genlemen from the parish of De Soto, one from Winn, one from Brenrille and one from Iberia, who had not been returned bv tbe returning board be sworn in as members, and they were accordingly sworn in by Wilts, and took their, seats as members of the bouse.

A motion was tiow made that the house proceed with its permanent organisation, and accordingly the roll was called by Tresevant, acting clerk, and Wilts was declared speaker and Tresevant clerk.

Actifcg on the protest made by a major* ity of the house, the governor now re

3epartment

oeeted the commanding general of tbe to aid him in restoring order and lo enable the legally returned mem bers of the house to proceed with its organisation accerdin* to law, This re

quest was ressonable and in accordance with law. Remembering vividly the terrible massacres that took place in this city on the assembling of the constitu tional convention in 1866, at Mechanics' Institute, snd believing that the lives of members of the legislature were, or would be, endangered in case of an organr izstion under the law as attempted, the posse was furnished with a request that care should be tsken that uo member of tbe legislature returned bj the returning board should be ejected from the floor. This military posse performed its duty under directions of the governor of the state, and removed from the floor of the house thoxe persons who bad been illegally seated, and who had no legal right to be there. Several democrats rose and left the bouse and the remaining members proceeded effect an organisation under the state laws, in all this turmoil in which blood shed was imminet the military passed Snd behaved with great discretion, when Mr. Wiltz, the usurping speaker of the house, called for troops to prevent loodshed. They were given to him and the governor of the state called for a posse for the same purpose, and to enforce the law it was furnished also. Had this not been done, it is my firm belief that scenes of bloodshed would have ensued. (Signed), P. H. SHERIDAN.

Bleeding From Lungl, Catarrh, Bronchitis, Consumption. A Wonderful Cure.

ROCHESTER, N. Y., Jan. 13,1874. R, V. Pierce, M. D„ Buffalo. N. Y.: DEAR SIR 1 had suffered from Catarrh in an aggravated form for about twelve years, and for several years from Bronchial trouble. Tried many doctors and things with no lasting benefit. In May, '72, becoming nearly worn ott with excessive Editorial labors on a paper in New York City, I was attacked with Bronchitis in a severe form, suffering almost a total loss of voice. I returned home here, but had been home only two weeks when I was completely prostrated with Hemorrhage from the Lungs, having four severe bleeding spells within two weeks, and first three inside of nine days. In the September following, I improved sufficiently to be able to be about, though in a very feeble state. My Bronchial trouble remained and the Catarrh was tenfold worse than before. Every effort for relief seemed fruitless. iBeemed to be losing ground daily. I continued in this feeble state, raising blood almost dailv until about tbe first of March, '73, when 1 became so bad asto be entirely confined to the house. A friend suggested your remedies. But Iwas extremely skeptical that they would do me good, as I had lost ail heart in remedies, and began to look upon medicine and doctors wiih disgust. However I obtained one of your circulars, and read it carefully, from which I came to the conclusion that you understood your business, at least. I finally obtained a quantity of Dr. Sage's Catarrh Hemedy, your Golden Medical Discovery and Pellets, and commenced their vigorous use according to directions. To my surprise, I soon began to improve. The Diseovery and Pejlets, in a short time, brought out a severe eruption, which continued for several weeks. 1 felt much better, my appetite improved, and I gained in strength and flesh. In three months every vestige of the Catarrh was gone, the Bronchitis had nearly disappeared, had no Cough whatever and I had entirely ceased to raise blood and, contrary to the expectations of "feome of my friends, the cure has remained per manent. I have fcad no Hemorrhages from the Lungs, and am entirely free from Catarrh, from which I had suffered so much and so long. The debt of gratitude I owe for tbe blessing I have received at your hands, knows no bounds. I am thoroughly satisfied,from my ex perience, that your medicines will master the worst forms of that odious disease Catarrh, as well as Throat and Lung Diseases. I have recommended them to very many and shall ever speak in their praise. GrstefuIly yours,
