A Radical Rebuke.

Attention is invited to an article, print.
ed elsewhere in the Times. taken from the
Chicago Tribune, and entitled The
Crimes and Blunders Of the Republican
Party"
1t was suggested by debate in the
Senate, at Washington, on Tuesday, on
the eligibility of General Ames to a seat
in the Senate. The Judiciary Committee
reported that he was not resident of the
State at the time of his election. The
facts and arguments sustaining the report
were clear, but number of Senators
assailed the report, and insisted that Ames
should be admitted. Senator Carpenter
said the Judiciary Committee is now a
nullity, and that questions are decided in
the Senate, not with reference to law,
when legal considerations are involved,
but with regard to party interests.
This partisan prostitution is severely
rebuked by the Tribune It's censure is de-
livered in such direct, pointed, and
earnest manner that we may hope it will
have some effect outside of Congress. II
is idle to hope that the majority there can
release itself from party slavery. This
same Senator Carpenter, only few days
ago, declared pending measure to be
unconstitutional and monstrOus," and,
at the same time, declared he would sup
port it If his party commanded him to
do sO.-Chicdgo Times

A Short Story with a Moral.

was out late; l returned by the Lee
cabin about 4 o'clock. As | approached
| saw strange looking Object covering
under the low caves. A cold rain was
falling; 1t was autumn. drew near, and
there was Mile, wet 90 the skin. Her
father had driven her out some hours be-
fore she had lain down to liz en- for the
heavy snoring of his drunken siumbers, so
saat she might creep back to bed. Before
snc heard il, nature seemed exhausted,
and she fell into troubled sleep, with
rain drops patteriDg upon her. | tried to
take her home with me but no, true as a
martyr to his faith, she struggled from me
and returned to the now dark and silent
cabin. Things went on in this way for
weeks and months. but at length Lee grew
less violent, even in his drunken fits, to
his self denying child; and one day, when
he awOke from "A SLUG Der after debauch,
and found her preparing breakfast for him,
and singing childish song, ne turned to
her, and, with a tone almost tender, said
Mile, what makes you stay with me-"
because you are my father, and love
you"
You love me-" repeated the wretched
man; "you love me!' He looked at his
bloated limbs, his sOilcd and ragged
clothes. "Love me-" he still murmured
Mile, what makes you love me' am

me; why don't you;" "Dear father"
said the girl, with swimming eyes, "mv

night she comes from Heaven and stands
by my little bed, and says, Mile don't
leave your father; he will get away from
that rum fiend some of these days, and

SPRAINs AND BRUISES. best treat
ment of sprains and bruises is the appG-
cation of water, of such temperature as is
most agreeable The degree OF tempera-
ture varies with the temperature of
weather and the vigor of circulation.
In q hot day use cold water. If the
circulation is low, use warm water. The
bruised or sprained part may be immersed
in pail of water, and gently pressed or
manipulated with the hand or a soft cloth,
for ten or fifteen minutes, or even longer,
in severe cases, after which wrap up the
parts in cloths wet in cold water, and
keep quiet This treatment keeps down
the Inflammation and in nine cases out OF
ten proves a speedy cure. The liniments

one think OF gardens and gardening, and
many will forget that warm weather does
not usually come in at single bound, but
there will be cold nights and frosty morn

safe plan to remove all protection from

suffer more from sudden changes in the

The Responsibilities OF the Liver.

The liver has 4. very important part to perform in
the animal economy. Its function is two fold The
fluid which 1t secretes tempcrs the blood and reg
ulates the bowels, and upon the quantity and quail

adaptation of the blood to the requirements of the

Damp Cellar Walls.

TAREING cellar walls to protect the CON
tents from damp has long been practIced
in Cornwall, England. In that wet
favored portion OF Great Britain, where d
fine day Is the exception, and not as here,
the rule, every precaution is requisite to
protect walls from dampness, and among
these none are found more effectual than
the use OF coal tar, after being carefully
prepared. The preparation consists sinl-
ply III boiling the tar in any convenient
kettle, until all the watcry parts are evap-
Grated and driven off by heat. The tar is
then laid on the walls with a common
whitcwash brush, one or more thin coats
being used, and as the tar is always lad
on in as hot II state rs possible without
destroying the hairs of the brush, il can
be spread over IA very rough surface of
stone work with an even, thin coat, and
the stone or bricks ever after become i'm
pcrvious To moisture.
| have often seen buildings SO covered,
that were first plastercd with a smooth
coat of mortar, aud laid out into squares
to initiate cut stone work, and on this coal
tar takes remarkable well. 1t would not,
pei haps, be advisable to use tar for out
side protection against the weather, where
the black color would be a serious Objec
ton aud an unsighily object, but TOR utility
there is no substance so cheap, and at the
slme time so efficient in its action as q pro
lection To walls against dampness. One
great, cause of wet walls is variation in
temperature If the wall so affected is eX-
posed To cold on the outside, and a warm
moist atmosphere within, damp surface
on the inside is absolutely certain To he
the result. This arises from the cOndensa
ton of the humid internal air on the
chilled walls, and the remedy in this case
must be looked for i'm another way.
To exempliiy this principle, let anyone
convince himself by laying "a saw or AK out
of doors, into cold atmosphere, when
the thermometer is about zero. After ten
minutes of such exposure, bring the arti
Gle again into the warm, moist air of the
house, and the AK or saw will be at once
covered with dew, from the condensation
OF moisture from the internal air on the
cold surface. And this principle is always
more or less active in cellars. The RENE
dy is TO keep the temperature up on the
outside as much as conveniently may be,
by covering and partial protection, and
down in the inside by absence of heat,
and your cellar walls will at once dry
up. Attention must always primarily be
paid To the matter Of drainage.-Tt r0nto
