The Power Of Prejudice.

There is well.know London physician
who has the greatest possible antagonism to
smoking. He is medical referee 20 two life
insurance offices, and gentleman who APP
piled to him for inspection little while ago,
came away greatly depressed because his
'Gfe" had been rejected. The matter was
serious one, inasmuch as the applicant was
q professional man, with large income,
that would die with him, and be was the
father of q pumerous family. He made
known his grief to medical friend, whothor.
oughly examined him, and declared him to
be as sound as bell. "Whom did you
see ?" said the friend, Or, replied the
applicant. "Oh, / see. and be asked wheth-
er you smoked r Yes" "Well, SDr.-is
referee for another Office apply to be in
sured there; sDr.-never recognizes faces !;
he won't know you and when he asks you
if you smoke, you needn't tell 6b, but you
can put him off in some way" The appli.
cant appeared second time before Dr.,
who did not in the least recognize him. At
at the end of the examination Dr.-said /:
DO you smokef" T''It'sa filthy, disgusting
habit" replied the applicant. IT have great
pleasure in recommending you as perfect

At this season, when coughs and colds
are so prevalent, an effec,usl remedy, and
one easily obtained, is Perry Dsvis's Vege-

use the article, internally or externally, will
connect with it grateful recollections of its

PAIN kILLER.-The testimonials borne to
the efficacy of this valuable medicine are
sufficient to warrant its introduction into
every house. Our own opinion is that no
family should be without q bottle of 1t for a
single hour. In flesh wounds, aches, pains,
sores, &c, il is the most efectual remedy
we know of. A bottle will last for a very
long time, and its low price places IT within
the reach of all. Our readers viii remem-

PLAIN TALK.

On the 9Th of February last there was an
attempt to get up little steam on the Peo-
ria railroad question, at little meeting OF
about $50 people in the court house. Sew
eral men from Peoria were present, and
aided by some who want Rock Island to put
her foot into this Peoria business again for
their benefit, these Peoria men tried to con-
vince those present that it would be nice
thing to vote $50, 600 debt upon our people,
Among those who spoke against it were DR..
Gregg, George Mixter, B. D. Walsh, Jacob
Norris, and others. M. Norris, among
other things, said:
Twelve years ago Rock Island wanted q
railroad to Peoria. Rock Island had an
election and voted for it; Peoria had an
election and voted against it. Now, Peoria
has had an election and voted for it, and
Rock Island has had an election and voted
against it. In this we are about even. But
are we even in all things? No; for Rock
Island has paid out about Eighty Thousand
Dollars and built eleven miles of railroad,
while Peoria has not paid one dollar. Now,
Mr.. Peoria Men, come up and do as much
AS we nave uoue pciore you SeAsufc US Api
illibershty or ignorance.
aNhen we wanted the road, We went over
to Peoria and tried to snlightsn you, but you
"could not see it!1 Now, you come over
here and try to enlighten as and we .can't
see TT think, after all this, Peoria men
exhibit much cool assurance to come here to
instruct US in our duty.
III do not want the railroad men to be de-
csived, and they will be, if they take the
vote of this meeting as an index of the pub
lie sentiment of this city. Most people who
have come here tonight are in favor of sub
scribing; whilst six-sevenths CT the people
are not here and are opposed to it. We
have Just had an election and voted it down
five to one, and if we have another one, We
will vote it down ten to one. If Peoria had
subscribed for the road when we did, il
would have been built and we now should
have had $500 stock in it, which would
have been worth something, but because
Peoria would not subscribe, we lost the
road, $4,000 stock and ALL"
The best way is to keep clear of corporate
subscriptions, and let those who want stock
subscribe for it. 1t is unjust to vote a mort
gage upon other peoples property against
their consent.

The funniest picture we have seen for a
long time, out of a professedly comic news
paper, is that in the last number OF the Sci
entsfc american, representing the operation
of cow.mlking machine. The cows stand
in a row.; attached to each teat is a tube
with close.6tting mouth, and all these tubes
communicate with pumps, which are driven
by steam or horse power. The cows being
properly tapped, the pumps are set to work,
and the milk drawn from their udders neat
ly, expeditiously,. and with comfort to the
animals. Indeed, the editor says, 'the cows
soon learn to come to the machine if fed or
sailed few times while milking" Wha,

and wrong. 1t viii not do to say that fhe
Loyal Leagues mean right and the Ku Kiux

that the same thing has been done in South

FINAL ADJUSTMENT OF THE MEL
seN-BUTLER DlFfICULTY.


r WxsHrHsroN, April 30.-To-day, before
the resumption Of Mr.. Evarts' argument,
Mr. Sumher's resolution of yesterday, pro-
posing to eensure Mr.. Nelson for language
ia his speech, came ap.
Reverdy johnson promptly moved to lay
it on the table.
Mr.. Anthony, before responding to the
call of his name on this motion, asked Mr..
Nelson to state whether he meant by the
language used, to convey the idea of chal-
lenge to mortal combat. sN-FTEf 4
There was q ripple of laughter all through
the chamber, as the object of it, Mr..
Nelson, rose TO explain. He said he was
very far from disavowing any hostile intent,
and did not qualify or apologize for his lam
guage, except to assure the senate that he
meant no disrespect TO il or any of its MEM
bers. What he meant, he said, was that if
Butler said that his Nelson's conduct in
honorable, he (Nelson) was willing to give
him satisfaction for it. He was not duel
list, and never fought duel, bat he intended
by his remarks that Butler should not un.
derstand him as claiming the protection OF
age or infrmity for anything he had said.
This explanation astonished some and
pleased others.
Mr.. Anthony, who had called for it,
started the vote with an affirmative for lay.
ing il on the table, and he found himself in
company with 81 others, when the roll-call
was completed. But 10 voted against the
motion. They were Cameron, Howard,
Morgan, Morrillof Vermont, Pomeroy, Stew
art, Sumner, Thsyer, Wilson and Yates
The answer was construed as o rebuke to
Butler.
Mr.. EvARTs RESUMES HIS ARGUMENT.
Mr.. Evarts, at 1890, resumed his speech,
and continued, with an intermission of 5
minutes, until $50, when he asked for an
adjournment stating that he would con.
clude in an hour tomorrow. His remarks
to-day were full of salient points. While
discussing the article relating to the "circle
speeches." he quoted the famous Bingham
and Butler wrapgle in the house, year ago,
in which the former alluded to Fort Fisher
and the spoons, and the latter accuses Bling
ham Of hanging an innocent woman. This
produced great deal of merriment, and Is
said to have incensed Bingham to violent
frenzy. He also quoted some choice ex-
tracts from Sumner, in which the President
is denounced as public enemy, and the
chair ruled the language to be unparliamen,
tary. Mr.. Evarts' speech is the subject oil
great commentator here tonight.
