The Use OF Both HANDs.-A writer
suggests that it would be good thing for
men and women we're they taught in child
hood to use their left hand equally with their
right. The use of the right hand only for
certain actions such as writing and working
with mechanical tools, IS entirely convention
al, and there does not appear to be any reason
why people should not be ambidextsr in every
kind of manual work. Persons who have
lost their right hand by accident frequently
acquire great facility with the left, after some
practice; but grown-ap persons have not al
ways the patience. By children the thing
would be acquired nscnsibly, if means were
taken to lead them to the practice Of it. Chill
dren living in houses where two languages are
spoken acquire both with great facility; and
what is true of tongues would be equally SO of
hands.

MINING UNDER THE SEA.-There is a
vast copper mine in England, where shafts
extend many hundred yards under the sea,
The moaning waves, as they dash against the
rocks, is forever sounding in those gloomy
aisles When the storm comes. the sound of
the waters becomes terrific and even the bold
est miners cannot stay below, but leave their
work and come out upon the earth. Over
head are masses of bright copper streaming
through the gallery in all directions, traversed
by net work OF thin, red veins Of iron, and
over all the salt water drips down from tiny
crevices in the rock. Immense wealth OF
metals is contained in these roofs, but no mi.
ner dares give it another stroke with his pick
axe. Already there has been one days work
too much upon it, as huge wedge of wood,
driven into the rock bears witness. The
wedge is all that keeps back the sea from
bursting in upon them. Yet there are three
tiers of galleries where men WORK day by day,
not knowing but at some fatal hour the food
may be upon them, rendering all escape as
hopeless as it was in the days of Noah. The
awe stricken visitor hurries away from the
scene with heart appalled, in view Of the
hourly dangers.

Now that so much doubt is expressed in
certain quarter, of the efficacy of vaccination
as preventive of small pox, the following
from an Irish paper of recent date will prove
interesting: GA sailor returned from a for.
eigu voyage to his native village, Ballyhack,
and in Few days after was seized by SMALL
pox in its confuent and most virulent form.
The village swarms with population stepped
in poverty, and in every way badly calculated
to resist the extension of a contagious disease.
The mans residence was in the centre, and
segregation from his peighbors was impossi.
BILE. Vaccination, however, had been for
years carefully attended to; an infant resid.
ing in the house had been vaccinated only a
few weeks before. The man recovered, and
although two months have gone by, there has
not been another case Of small pox among the
inhabitants"

received, and that they are not entitled
to recover ANYTHING from England. but
that the sums due for the destruction
Of property by the Alabama belong to
the Government Of the Uuited States
and should be paid into the public
treasury. A more absurd and ridicu-
lous assumption it is scarcely possible
to imagine.
Mr.. JOHNSON, in his letter referred to
above, exposes the baseless character OF
the Presidents assumption, aud shows
also that, under the act of l79e, these
private claimants have the express
legal right to apply to the British Gov
eminent for redress. This he urges
them to do and thus settle by their own
action what the Government has been
unwilling and incompetent to effect,
The conduct OF GRANTS administration
in the whole history Of these Alabama
claims has been marked by a narrow
minded and selfish obstinacy which is
humiliating TO every American who
wishes to have his Government respect
ed by the other nations Of the werld.
Its foreign policy is as full of blunders
as its domestic course has been,

An Old Friend.

For many years the Press of the country
has chronicled the beneficial effects OF
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. Editors, au-
thors, physicians, merchants, officers OF the
army and navy, chemists, counsellors, min
listers of the gospel, In short, n great cloud
of witnesses Of every profession, trade and
calling, have testified to Its efficacy as a
tonic and regulating medicine. The names
and statements of these witnesses have
been published in the public prints. Many
of them are we'll known to the whole pub
lie. Their testimony has never been chal-
lenged or impugned. This
OLD FRIEND
has been tried and pronounced, on the
of those whose lives and health
1t has preserved, pure, harmless and en-
inently salutary preparation. Attempts
have been made to rival it. They have
failed. There is nothing equal to the en-
joyment experienced by the afflicted when
using this valuable specific. Its mild tone,
Its sure and vigorous action upon disor-
dered stomach, and the cleansing of the
entire human body, recommend Il to the
whole community as RELIABLE
FRIEND. r.f. - a.r.,

said it did, it don't mean anything.
Note the following extract
They insist on keeping up a stand
ing and perpetual conflict with the ma
tional authority, driving a part OF our
citizens TO rely entirely on the latter for
the maintenance of tneir rights Will
this condition of affairs help the stand
ing of our State with those who want
10 lind homes and make investments :?
We have been told all alons by these
gentlemen that the irritations growing
out of the political disabilities Of one
class, have kept people and capital IRON
coming into the State. Are these now
10 be attracted by political disabilities
on another class, in defiance OF the Uni
ted States Constitution, so that in future
elections troops may have to be quar-
tered amongst us to enforce Their rights !
Is this the way to recommend the state
abroad Z?
Now what part OF our citlzens will
have to rely upon the Federal constitu-
ton for suffrage, If the word white is
retained by WestVirginia? Upon what
class are political disabilities to uc
retained? 1.-THE passage we have quot
ed does not justify our former assertion
that "the Intslligencer is distressed with
fear that the retention OF the word
white in the Constitution OF Yves. Nir-
GINA will prevent the immigration OF
negroes" we don't know what it means.
Certainly there are no white men who
would hesitate to settle in West Nir-
einia because negroes are only per
mitted to vote here in pursuance OF
United States law, and not 10y the free
act and consent of the white people OF
the State Our ncighbor Of tie iateIh-
gcaccr is wonderfully sensitive about
everything which even remotely seems
to tend to make a possible discrimina-
ton against his colored pets He goes
into spasms when any wicked Demo
crat inadvertently spells negro with two
gs, and Notwithstanding the elective
franchise is secured TO the African by
the fifteenth Amendment, he wants to
make assurance double sure and take
a bond Of fate by striking the word
white from our Constitution and laws.

The Alabama CIaIms.

Hon REvERDY JOHNSON has written
a letter to the President OF the Great
Western Insurance Company Of New
York in reference to the much talked Of
Alabama claims. These claims amount
in the aggregate to about thirteen mil
lions of dollars, which sum is demand
cd from England in payment for pri-
vate property, belonging to citizens o:
the United States, which was destroyed
during the war by the confederate
cruiser Alabama aud other vessels
which were built and fitted ont in Eng
lish ports. Nearly, if not quite all, Of
these claims are made by insurance COM
panies having war risks upon the vessels
destroyed, and who paid their losses
to the owners Of the ships. The Great
Western alone paid in marine losses Of
this kind the sum of S334,Sl0, on which
il had received premiums amounting to
only 1885, IS. The government of the
United States having rejected the treaty
negotiated by Mr.. JOHNSON, and by
which the English government consent
ed to the payment Of these claims, the
question stands now just as it did at the
close of the war. The insurance COM
panies, however, and the private parties
to whom these claims belong, having
failed to obtain redress through the
agency of the government, now propose
TO take the matter in their own hands
and, in their private capacity as claim
ants, endeavor to effect a settlement
with Great Britain. This course is adj
vised by Mr.. JOHNSON, and he has no
doubt that the applications will be sue
cessful, if no objection be interposed by
the United States Government
But, singular as it may appear, the
President and Secretary FISH interpose
decided objection to the settlement OF
these claims in this way, and threaten
the claimants with prosecution for a
misdemeanor, under an act of Congress
passed in 1899, if they persist in en-
deavoring to collect from the English
Government what is manifestly and
Justly their due. The President even
assumes the extraordinary position that
the insurance companies have been
paid for their losses by the premiums

why are You so Nervous :

Let us resolve the question. 1t is because
your organization is naturally delicate, or
you make 1t SO by violating the laws of ma
ture. Life Is a burden to tens OF thousands
Of human beings only OH account OF the
of their appetites and passions.
As an appropriate and legitimate penalty
they are suffering from nervous irritability,
irregular sensations, uncontrolled impress
sions, unfounded uneasiness, restlessness,
qualms, misgivings and dependency.
Their tears will flow or laughter break out
by sorrow or joy. They are
victims Of hidden disease which produce
this fiuttering state of animal spirits. Is
not this your condition? What you most
need is inrigordtion. MISHLER'S HERB
BITTERS is tonic and gentle stimulant
which will refresh both mind and body
with natural strength, and what 1t gains
for you It maintains. Persons Of nervous
will be able to overcome and
keep in check their infirmity by the daily
use of this pure and wholesome nervinc
and invigorator.

post. e.Fd1. "

1t is said thai POSTMASTER Creswell
will recommend the inFoduction OF the
postal card system which originated in
Germany and was borrowed from there
by England. Postal cards are about as
large as ordinary business Scards, bear
inc Z small postage stamp on one cor
ner. and having ruled lines for conve-
nience in writing. They are worth,
with the stamp affixed, about two cents.
It is customary in Germany to carry
supply OF them in the pocket book, for
writing messages on - the, street.
in the cars or in any chance
place when the usual writing ma
terial is not at hand. The cards,
thus written on, are, thrown into the
psstoffice or dropped into a lamp post
box without envelope. The contents,
of course, are open to all who may see
them and take the trouble to read them,
but this is esteemed OF little concern in
comparison with the, great convenience
of the system. They are largely used
in Europe and add materially to the
postal revenue in England and Ger
many. One side of the card is reserved
for the direction, and the other for the
message, sr -. Ps ~ 81.
