QUIET BABIES.
A Startling thing eyr-
ND and morphine-8nVe the Babies.

A correspondent of the Medical Ga
eette, who is q practicing physician,
comes to the rescue of the babies
against what he denounces as their dead
ly enemy, Mrs. Winslow's Soothing
Syrup. He says he was called to
see an infant that was in a
dying condition, apparently from the
effects of narcotic poison, and he was
assured that it had taken no medicine
but the soothing syrup" The doctor
took the bottle and had some of the
syrup analyzed by skillful chemist,
and the analysis showed that each
ounce of the stuff contained nearly one
grain of morphine. A dose for an in
fant three months old, as prescribed by
Mrs. Winslow's printed directions, con-
tanned an amount of morphine equal to
ten drops of laudanum. This is or
dered to be given to the child
every two hours, in certain eases,
and double the quantity to a child
Of six months old. AS children are very
susceptible to the influence of opium, of
which morphine is the active principle,
four drops of laudanum having been
known to kill an infant of months, and
az the manufacturers OF Mrs. Winslow's
Soothing Syrup sell annually about one
hundred thousand two-ounce bottles in
the single State of New York, the reader
can form some idea of the number of
babies that are soothed to perpetual
sleep by this ncstrum. Mothers had
better fall back on catnip tea.

Homicide IN Greenbrier County
Fatal Shooting ARRAY.
From the Greenbrier independently


On Saturday last, New Years day, a
difficulty occurred IN the town of Frank
ford, in this county, which resulted in
the fatal shooting of young man
named William Johnson, son of Mr..
Anthony johnson, at the hands of Van
Buren, Feshman. The testimony of
WITNESSES to the affair was to the effect
that young johnson had previously ex-
pressed his intention to punish Flesh
man for alleged wrongs, aud on the day
of the fatal shooting, had threatened
to kill him; that he pursued Fleshman
10 the house Of MIR. Via, and fired upon
him without effect; that Fleshman, thus
meuaced, fred upon johnson from the
house, the ball passing through his
heart, producing death almost instant
ly. Freshman had an examination be-
fore Justice Mccoy, and was discharged
upon the grounds that he was acting in
self-defen>e.
On Wednesday last, upon a Bench
warrant issued by Judge Harrison,
Fleshman was re-arrested, together
with his brother, Charles Fle>hman,
and brought to town by Deputy Sheriff
Henry Robinson, when they were both
arraigned before Justice C. A. Sperry
and B. c. Rapp. A large number Of
witnesses were examined, and the JUS
tices being satisfied that it was a case
self-defense, both parties were dis
charged.

SENATOR Ross, of Kansas will be re-
membered for his heated invitation to
the President to extend his travels to
that bourne,where all comers are singed
and scorched indefinitely. This Sena-
tor is going to sue for his "kracter."
He will prosecute the New York Iri-
bune, Ohio State Journal, and the Law
renee (Kansas) Tribune for publishing
him as having been bought to vote for
JoHNsoN's scquittal in the famous i'm
peachmeut trial. His idea is that
'loyal" papers have no right to libel
any body but copperheads and rebels.

The Teuure-of-OMce Act.

The Tenure. OF. Office Act, for an al
legged violation of which in the attempt
ed removal of STANTON, JOHNSON was
sought to be impeached, is constantly
and sontemptuously disregarded by the
present President. When the Executive
suspends subordinate officer, the Act re-
quires the reasons for suspension to be
communicated to the Senate. GRANT
has suspended and removed hundreds
of Federal officers, and continues to do
so, without in any instance condescend-
ing to advise the Senate Of the reasons
impelling Lin thus to act.
The Tribune says Of the Tenure of OF
fee Act that at is so little observed that
its existence is a matter of Indifference
to some of the Cabinet officers, as at
present it is, in effect, dead letter. II
appears that, thus far, although hun
dreds of officers were suspended during
the recess of Congress, not q single rea
on for suspension has been communlca-
ted to the Senate by the President, and
the Senate has acted upon nominations
to fill vacancies caused by suspension in
the same manner it has acted upon va
cancies which have occurred from death
or resignation" 1t is scarcely necessary
to Inquire what would have been the
course taken had JOHNSON thus set at
defiance the assumed prerogatiyes OF
tho Senate. The circles of loyalty
would have been stirred from centre to
circumference. Every chance assemblagc
of Radical politicians from conference,to
Convention, would have howled for the
decapitation of the usurper. Every Rad
ical journal would have wrought itself
to the foamrng point, demanding the
immediate removal of the tyrant. At
the head of them all would have been
seen the Tribune, writhing in "loysl"
contsrtions and agonizingly vociferous
with its ceaseless imprecation, "Im-
peachment is Peace"
How is it that what would have been
fragrant crime in JOHNSON is harmless
innocence in GRANT, Why is it that
the laws at which one President dare
not crook finger can be violated by
another with impunityf Simply be-
cause in JoHNsoN's case a partisan end
was to be attained; in GRANTS no such
end can be reached. And as the legis-
lation in question was designed for
partisan advantages, its disregard when
such advantages are not possible is
consistently part of the prevailing
programme.

The Calamities Of Ceoke.

The scandalous escapade of New
York clergyman with q young lady of
his congregation, has been ended by the
voluntary return of the gay, gushing
pair, the restoration of the lovely
lamb to the patsrnal fold, and the ig-
nominious apprehension of the reverend
rake himself by the police. Reverend
HORACE COOKE (for such is the title by
which the chief author of this mess OF
scandal is known in the flesh) upon his
defense pleads injured innocence in a
manner not altogether devoid of inso-
lence' He especially exscrates the

The Widows Victims.


There appears on a certain day, in
each If the daily papers, an advertise
ment setting forth that "a young widow
lady of refinement, education, beauty
aud wealth, intends to make the tour OF
the continent, and wishes to engage, as
a companion and protector, a Young
gentleman of cultivation and refine
ment, who will receive liberal salary
and have all his expenses paid" That
brings a crowd of the prettiest
young men in town to the otice
of the employment Bureau" man,
who acts as her agent. Each takes him
aside and says, quite confidently, ny
dear fellow, if you can get this engage
ment for me, will give you"-(twenty-'
five or fifty dollars, as the case might
be). Then the agent says, "My dear sir,
don't think l ought to do it, but still
like your looks, and think the
lady will-yes, l am sure she will,
and l have influence with her; so
Just take q note from me, see her, aud
come back" Each understands that
"come back" 1t means "come down"
after the engagement is obtained.
Each and all see her in turn, in a mag
nificent brown-stone mansion, and they
find her very pretty, very smart; and
when she seems to take great fancy to
each in his order, and engages him as
her companion at splendid salary,
each pIonounces her an exceedingly
charming woman, and himself one OF
the luckiCst men alive. She engages
them all, and they all return and pay
the agent his handsome fee. The next
day the office is closed, the rent
has been about due, and this was the
grand coup of the agents art to close in q
blaze of profession glory, "bilking"
even the landlord and the man from
whom he hired his furniture. AS for
the beautiful young widow, the places
which knew her know her no more.
She only engaged board for week ia
the brown-stoue mansion, and left be-
fore the week was up.-ChicdJ0 Tribune.

REV. HORACE COOKE.
His Past Exploits.

A dispatch fron New York to the
Enquirer gives some of the antecedents
of Reverend COOKE, the clergyman of
that city, who recently eloped with q
young lady member of his congregation.
The dispatch says:
The Rev. Horace Cooke, who ran
away with Miss Matte Johnson,a young
schoolgirl and member of his congre-
CATION, formerly occupied q pulpit in
Flushing, L. /. While stationed at that
place he was discovered to be paying
much attention to beautiful married
woman whose husband was abroad.
This circumstance gave rise to much
gossip in the village, and Cooke soon
after resigned his charge, He next
turned up as the pastor Of the Metho-
dist Church at Mamaroneck, New York.
While at this place, his tender regard
for some of the lady members OF his
flock became a matter of public scan
dal.
His condact in one instance resulted
in separating husband aud wife, lowing
to Cookies attentions to the latter.
Another lady at this place, it is said,
became very warmly attached to Cooke.
Mrs. Cooke not liking the attentions
that her husband bestowed on this wo-
man, resolved on giving her public
chastsement, which she did one day at
the Mamaroneck Railway Station.
The woman came to this city in the
morning with Cooke, and on her return
to Mamaroneck was confronted by Mrs.
Cooke, who upbraided her in the pres
ence of a crowd of attentive listeners.
When Cooke returned, he also was met
at the depot by his wife, and reprimand-
ed him in a short, sharp and decisive
manner.
Cooke, at the time of his convers-
ion in 1858, was a clerk in the carpet
store of Hiram Anderson, in this city
It was, prior to his conversion, his
intention to enter the dramatic profess.
sion, and it is said that for time he
followed the vocation of an actor.
