A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE.

TBRRE HAUTE, DBC. 3, 1881

A PA USE FOB LIGHT. 0. B. Frothingbara, who was long famous as a leaning free-thinker of the United States, recently surprised folks by announcing that he has decided to stop denying the truth of Christianity. He takes nothing back, but stops to await more light, being dissatisfied with the barrenness of the work of tearing down. Mr. Frotbingham says:

One fact began to loom up before my mental vision in a disquieting way, that the drift of free-thought teaching was unquestionably toward a dread materialism which I abhorred as deeply as any evangelical clergyman I know. The men who would become leaders in the free-thought movement don't stop where 1 stop: they feel no traditions behind them they have no special training for the work of restoring, in which light I regard much of my work. I did not aim to create any new beliefs or to tear down any existing ones, but to restore, to bring to light and prominence, the better spiritual essence of those faiths. Perhajw I am better fitted for such work that many others, because I have inherited a sense of the limits of free thought beyond which materialist dogma become** more offensive than dogmatic Galvanism. But the men whom I saw coming on the stage as the apostles of the new dispensation of free thought, were destroyers, who tore down with no thought of building up. There seemed to be no limit to their destructive mania, and no discrimination in their work. Their notion seemed to make a clean sweep of every existing creed. They appafently knew not anu cared not wnetner anything in the shape of belief should arise from the ashes of the world's creeds. The situation, therefore, when I stopped preaching two years ago and went to Europe,'was about as follows: Evangelical religion was stronger, the churches were Getter filled, there was more of the religious spirit abroad than when I began twenty years ago. Such men as came forward as teachers in the free-thought movement were out-and-out materialists. As to the fact that revealed religion, as we call it, is stronger than it was twenty years ago, I have no doubt it is stronger here and in Europe, notwithstanding the tnuch-talked-of German materialism, and the religion of to-day is all the stronger than tnat of twenty years ago in that it is throwing off the accretions of ignorance and presents fewer features incompatible with good sense and charity.

The freo-th inking preacher's struggles are given in detail in his statement. He cannot say that he regrets his past work in Now York, for with all his doubt of his doubtings, he is certain there is much that noeds to be reformed in revealed religion as professed, even if its foundations are sound. Speakiugof scientific investigation Mr. Frothingham says:

I am sure that tho further it goes the more clearly will scientific men recognize a power, not yet defined, but distinctly felt by some of the ablest of them. This question has presented itself to me many times in the fast few years: What is the power behind these ignorant men who find dignity and comfort in religion? Last Summer, when in Rome, I was much interested in observing the Roman clergy—not tho men hign in power and steeped in diplomacy and intrigue, bat the worklngmen of the church, the parish priests, who went about among tho iwople as spiritual helps and almoners. I talked witn many of these men, and found them to be ignorant, unambitious, aud superstitions: and yet there was a power behind them which must mistify philosophers. What is this power? I cannot undertake to say but it is thore, and it may be that these persons who deny the essential truths of revealed religion are all wrong. At any rate, I for one do not eare to go on denying the existence of such a force. To my old friends aud followers, who mnv feel grieved at such an admission on my part, I would say that I am no more'a neliever in revealed religion today than I was a yoar ago but, as I said l»eforo, I have doubts which I had not then. The creeds of to-day do not seem to l)e so wholly groundless as they were then, and while 1 believo that tue next hundred years will see great changes in them, I ilo not think that they are destined to disappear. To sum up the whole matter, tho work which I have been doing appears to lead to nothing, and may have beeu grounded upou mistaken premises. Therefore it is better to stop but I do not want to give the impression that I recant anything I simply stop denying and wait for more light.

Commenting on the foregoing, the -Grand Rapids Post says: The striking thing in Mr. Frothinghara's position is its peculiar boldness. It would not have been nearly so hard to have recanted and professed full belief in revealed religion as to do what he has done. It is much easier to flatly deny, or dogmatically affirm, than to say: "I don't know." There would be fewer preachers ot infidelity, and not so many fruitless professors of Christianity, if there were more men with the boldness to sp«Mik that little sentence. No shortsighted ]xliey is served when a man says: "I am not sure that I have been all wraag.but I may have been. I can not go on in the same line I am not sure of any other. I will stop and look the matter over.'* When^ a man says that be is apt to find scant sympathy in the camp in which he lingers, and little encouragement from any other. Both side* are busy affirming and denying, and have little time to give the man who can do neither. But he seta a good example, and should challenge attention.

It is beat for a man to have his mind made np Might but it is good to find one who has not, with the nerve to acknowl edgvj that fact, and his need of light ia which to go. It will be a good day for the world when all men make sure they are right before they go ahead.

STOCKINGS AND ANKLES.

WHAT AK EXPERIENCED MILLIMKR AND AN OLD SOCIETY WOMAN HAVB TO SAY ABOUT

THJ5M.

N. O. Times.

"The truth is," said an uptown milliner, "that coverings for the head are not considered by the ladies nearly so important as they used to be. Nowadays much mote attention is paid to hair dressing and putting the head In good shape, while the coverings for it are secondary considerations. A shapely head is as highly esteemed now by the ladies as a pretty foot, and if a lady has not a pretty head she Improves on it with nulfs, frizzes and false hair as possible. But the great aim of tho fashionable lady of the present day is to

have pretty limbs (smiling), not only arms, but leg9, and the great craze beautiful stockings. I venture to say that there never has been in the history of the world so much time, trouble and money expended upon the manufacture of ladies' hosiery as at present. Dealers are viewing with each other in accumulating large, varied and attractive assortments, and large show cases are completely occupied wth the exhibition of ladies' hose. And what an array it is, too I am eaten up with jealousy sometimes by the sight, for these show cases frequently look as beautiful and attractive as mine. Just think of it! Stockings as lovely and brilliant hued as hats bonnets aad feathers. The thought disgusts me, for it stands to reason that a woman can't expect her hose to be admired as much as her head wear, unless she is improperly immodest, especially in Winter weather." "Why in Winter weather especially?" "Well because in the Summer season there is some excuse for a show of hosiery. The dresses are then made shorter, and ladies wear slippers or sandals, and of course the stockings are part of them are bound to show.' "Why is there so much diversity about colors in hosiery?" "There is where the art of dressing comes in. Don't you know that the limbs can be made to look smaller or larger, according to the colors of the material that covers them? You never, or at least seldom, see ladies wear black hose, for the simple reason that this makes the limbs look smaller. Blue and pink are the favorite colors, which over a shapely ankle are irresistibly beautiful. This craze for colored stockings has been brought about by

BURLESQUE ACTRKSSXS,

who, as you know are attractive and popular according to the beauty of their faces and figures. They have pretty and shapely legs, which are prerequisites to an engagement and they understand how to snow them off to the best advantage. When the burlesquo was first introduced husbands would not allow their wives aud daughters to go the theatres where the burlesquers exhibited themselves, but this prohibition no longer exists. Ladies dress to please themselves and tho gentlemen. They have seen that the men admire the pretty figures of actrosses, and the more they are posed the better pleased they are, and of course, they imitate the popular ety. as much as possible." "But some of these actresses weary unclean tights." "Yes, that is true. But then are costlier than stockings, and they are washed they lose their coloi 'Now, all prima doanas and burlesqi stars wear silk tights, arid you can ways judge of the pav and popularity o: actresses by the kiurf of hose they weal If they afford silk tights you know that they are getting good salaries or do not pay for tnem, but if their tights are cotton aad dirty at that, you can safely put them down as honest, poor and atrug-

They say that men aro not chivalrous as they used to be, and I do not wonder at it. Who can blame a man for entertaining unholy thoughts .of women when he sees how reckless they are exposing their persons. Low necks and bare arms are bad enough but when it comes to parading ankles and legs to the public gaze, what woman's reputation is safe Is a man likely to turn away his head when he sees a nicely turned ankle, clad in the loveliest stocking, come tripping down the street

Only the other dav I heard a young married man say to his wife: *Oh, well, Nellie, I followed you home that day I saw you get in a car, and if you waut to oblige me wear those blue stockings.

Suppose that a blue stocking on a shapely limb does Suspire thoughts and desires in a man's breast that he would be ashamed to acknowledge, who is to blame, and so-

"No," she resumed, "people are becoming too practical entirely, and perhaps the day is not far off when people will exhibit all the natural attractions they possess, and those who have none will other have to be assisted by art entirely. or else retire to obscurity where they most remain."

Here the reporter, fearing that the old lady might get to utterly utter, arsee and went.

THE COMING DESPERATE WOMAN.

Louisville Courier-Journal.

The most alarming feature of the woman's rights movement is the determination of some of the so-called softer sex to make proposals of marriage. In the case of a young man who is earning but five dollars a week, a proposal of marriage would be an outrage, not only on the young man, but on posterity yet a desperate woman might go to great lengths to secure even a five-dollar man. It is abont all mothers can do now to save their sons from the numerous eager voung women who beset these inexperienced boys, and if the youngsters are placed entirely at the mercy of matrimonial females, it won't be long till the republic is undermined. fe-

HOW A CONFEDERATE STOUT HEARD HIS DEATH WARRANT READ WHILE HIDING.

Philadelphia Times.

The scout waa surrounded. He took in everything at a glanee, aad determined to cut his way through and risk the chances. But the ladies represented to him that this was certain death. They could conceal him, and S assented. The young ladies acted promptly. One ran to the window and asked who was there, while another closed the back door that in front being already fastened. was then hurried up the staircase, one of the ladies accompanying him to show him his hiding place. All had taken place in a few minutes, and the Federal troops gave sudden evidence of their estimate of S They fired a volley through the front door, and the bullets whistled by the young ladies. Then the door was burst in, and the troopers swarmed into the house.

S—— had been conducted to a garret bare of all furniture, but some planks lay upon the sleepers of the ceiling, and by lying down on these a man might conceal himself. S mounted and stretched himself at full length, and the voung lady retired and returned to the lower floor. From his perch S then heard all that was said in the hall beneath. "Where is the guerilla?" exclaimed the Federal officer commanding the detachment. "What guerilla?" asked one of the la dies. "The rascalS "He was here, but he has gone." "That is untrue," the officer said, "and I am net to be trifled with. I shall search this house. But first read the orders to the men," he added, turning to a sergeant.

The Sergeant obeyed, andS distinctly overheard tho reading of his death warrant. The paper chronicled his exploits, denounced him as a guerilla and bushwhacker, aad directed that he should not be taken alive tl|e men were expressly ordered to kill him, not to take him prisoner. This was not reassuring to the scout concealed under the rafters above. It was probable that he would be discovered, in which case death would follow. There was but one thing to do —to sell his life dearly.

After ransacking every room on the first and second floors, the Federal troops ascended to the garret. The ladles had attempted to divert their attention from it, but one of them asked: "What room is that up there?" "The garret," was the reply. "He may be there—show tne way "You see the way," returned the young lady, "I do not wish to go up in the dust it would soil my dress." "You go before, then," said the trooper to a negro girl who had been made to carry about a lighted candle, for night had come new. The girl laughed and said: "There's nobody np there," but at the order went up-stalrs to the garret, followed by the troopers.

The decisive moment had come. S heard the tramping feet, and cocked both his pistols. Tne light streamed into the garret, and looking over the edge of his plank, he saw the garret fill with troopers. All seemed over, and his discovery certain he was about to spring down and fire, when one of them growled: "Hell, there's nothing here," aud went down stairs again.

A little boy asked his mother what blood relations meant. She explained that it meanty near relations. After thinking a moment, he said. "Then, mother, you must be the bloodiest relation I've got."

A mother had taught her little girl to repeat, at a Sabbath school concert, the text: "Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters!" When evening came,'she very calmly, and with perfect self-possession, said: "Every one that hoes, come and get a drink!" Her astonishment was great when she saw the laughter of the audience.

Johnny had a little sister who was suffering with the toothache, and the mother put some camphor in it to ease the pain. The young man watched the operation, and then went out and told the neighbors that his sister had moths in her teeth, and his mother put camphor ia her mouth to drive 'em away.

THREATENING CHILDREN. Being once in company with a mother and her three children, we observed one of them, a boy about six years eld, who was particularly unruly and mischievous. At one act of bis rudeness his mother, being somewhat excited, turned to him and threatened to punish him severely if he should repeat it. In a few mi nates the little fellew did precisely the same thing, and as the mother did not notice it, we ventured tosay to him: "Did you not hear your mother say she would punish you.

The Importance of Attention to the De•tails of litfe.

Early last spring the elegant mansion ot one of Xew York's wealthiest capitalists, sitnated en a beautiful hill in Xew Jersey, was turned into a bouse ot mourning. It had been constructed on the most approved sanitary and scientific principles. Thousands of dollars had been expended in tho drainage, plumbing aad ventilation. The surroundings were beautiful, the air was pure, and yet an epidemic of diptceria swept away a family of young and beautiful children, It was the theory of physicians that th'o house was filled with malaria, which always invitesdiptheria, and skeptical as the fatber was be instituted a rigid examination. Every oloset, pipe and drain was found to be perfect, and they were about to give up, baffled, when by accident they examined the furnace fresh air box, and a few feet from its opening, in a neighbor's lot, they discovered a mass of putrifying garbage! The mystery was explained. The malaria had found an entrance through the the "fresh" air flue, and taree loved ones perished because "somebody had blundered!" Tbe same result was seen at

Princeton College, seven students losing their lives by the faulty drainage of the college grounds. These occurrences were not "dispensations of Providence," they were the resultof plain carelessness,

Life is a constant struggle for existence, and as the fittest always survives, it is the duty of every man to acquaint himself with the methods of prevention and cure of influences which hurry him to the grave, Thero is much doubt nowadays as to what, for instance, causes malaria, but there is no doubt that it is the basis of the most obstinate chronic disorders. Not many years ago a celebrated physician of London discovered what is known as Bright's disease of the kidneys, While most of th% characteristics of this dreadful malady have been known, yet one of its most peculiar features is of reoent discovery, i. e., that it produces geaeral derangement of the tissues, and involves other organs of the body Ionic before the kidneys themselves seem to be affected. There is no pain in the kidneys nor in their vicinity. The water may not he albuminous there may be no casts, and yet Bright's disease may exist and disorder the entiro system.

Prof. Wm. H.Thompson, af.D., of the chair of Materia Medica, in tho Univorsity of-the City of New York, in a recent lecture before the students of Bellevue College Hospital, says: "Bright's disease has no symptoms of its own, but has the symptoms of every other disease you can think of." Albumen and casts mayor may not bepresont nor is the specific gravity an absolute and infallible test, Dr. Thompson says kidney disease is probably tho commonest cause of death ia this climate among adults, more so even than consumption, but it is a very deceptive disease. If a nan breaks a limb he will expect pain in the Injured member: if a bullet crashes into the body he will at loast suffer pain in the wounded part, but in disease of tho kidneys he will suffer most In the other organs of tbe body. These sufferings are only the effects, the cause is behind them, and if that cannot be removed there cannot bo no cure of the effects. Some of the commonest ailments of humanity are the sure symptoms ef Bright's disease. When the kidneys havo been diseased for a certain time there will occur strange disorders in the head, throbbing headache, disturbed vision: the memory loses Its power. These are secondary symptoms of Bright's disease.

Again, the lungs area favorite field of operations, and diseased kidneys produce pleurisy. bronchitis (with or without cough), great paleness, sudden and strange attaoks of asthma, and the spitting of blood. These are secondary effects of Bright's disease.

The heart, in the effort to force blood into

the diseased organs, which are swollen reason of kidney disease, becomes exhausted. hardened or enlarged, or valvular disease

follows with great distress under tho breast bone. These are secondaty symptoms of Bright's disease.

Dr. Georgo Johnson, a great authority, over 30 years ago pointed out tUat whatever disease affects the kidneys produces tbe same effect in the liver, and the purging of blood, nautea, vomiting of bile and fowl, indigestion, constipation, piles, dizziness, persistent diarrhoea coming on suddenly to a person who has always (Msen robast, are certain secondary symptoms of Bright's disease

Having made a tour of the body and finding no other organs which it can destroy, then the disease returns to the kidneys the hack aches intolerably, tbe urine is dark, full of brickdust and ropy casts appear, albumen Is abundant: then come great muscular relaxation and nervous prostration great puffs appear under tbe eyes, the countenance is paie and wears the appearance of fright, convulsions ensue, the fatal diarrhoea or pneumonia sets in, and death is the end. These declarations are the warnings of men of high authority in medical science, whom we cannot dispute if wo would. We expect, when our physician visits ourt bedchamber, he will come with tbe possibility of healiag, but there Is no disease which be approaches with tbe oertaintv of failure like Bright's disease. Is there no hope of curel Must this great malady increase tbe number of Its victims at the rate of 35 per cent a year, and we bis powerless to prevent? Dr. Holland says all medical practiee is experimental, and that any remedy that cures is entitled to the confidence and patronage of the people. Tbe only criterion of excellence is success, and, he says, this is the basis of popular judgment. The doctors admit they can do nothing for a person in the toils of Bright's disease but happllyi the ofttlmes wiser school of Independent investigators has not so failed. A few years ago a well known medical practitioner found the vegetable elements which diseased kidnevs and liver needed as a food and restorer, and. knowing how widely these diseases prevailed, be sold theformula to Mr. H. H. Warner, or Rochester, X. Y. This gentleman began its manufacture on a most extensive scale, and to-day Warner's Safe Kidney and Liver Cure Is used more generally than anyotberknown compound. Tbe man* ufacturers of this remedy know, from tbe unsolicited testimony of hundreds of cases cured of tne worst form of Bright's disease. tba it is an almost absolute specific, based onanew aad proved theory of treatment for every form of kidney and liver disease, aud they are ready to prove to any one that they make no claim that others cannot verify 6y their own experience. Indeed, the best physicians prescribe it, and it is everywhere conceded to be one of the greatest discoveries modern medical science has given tbe world. Tbe following items are tbe facts of science and authority:

FiasT—More persons are afflicted with or die of Bright's disease than aay other one disease except consumption. [Authority— Drs. ftoberte and Thompson.)

aad Johnson.! THIRD—"Wbile the medical fraternity is loth to acknowledge itself baffled, it cannot be denied that with tte exception or one proprietary medicine, there fsf no known cue of Bright's disease —[Craig.]

What that remedy is bas been folly explained in this srtlele, aad in commending it to oar readers, weappeal not to their credulity, bat to their Judgment and common sense. It is not only pars and vegetable ia Its nature, bat it has proved so effective that it is used more extensively than aay other known remedy now before tne people. It has cured even the most prononnced cases of Bright's disease, aad it isaa absolute specific for ail kidneytnmbles which are the first stages of this aMKst terrible complaint. These are facts which every one of forethought can appreciate, aad by the observance of whioh all can avoid the misery of "a fatal neglect."
