Persons unacquainted with the structure and
functions Of the Kidneys cannst estimate the
importance of their healthy dett6h.
Regular and sufficient action Of the Kidneys
is az important, nay, even more so, than regu.
larity Of the bowels. The Kidneys remove from
the Blood those effete matters, which If permit
ted to remain would speedily destroy life. A
total suspension Of the urinary discharges will
occasion death in from thirty-six to forty eight
hours.
When the Urine is voldedin small quantities
at the time, or when there is disposition to
Urinate more frequently than natural, or when
the Urine is high colored or scalding With weak
ness in the small of the back, 1t should not be
trifed with or delayed, but Koskoo should be
taken ut once to remedy the difficulty, before
lesion Of the organs takes place. Most of the
diseases Of the bladder originate from those Of
the Kidneys, the Urine being imperfectly Sc.
GREETED in the Kidneys, prove Irritating to the
Bladder and Urinary passages. When we recol.
lect that medicine never reaches the Kidneys
except through the general circulation Of the
Blood, We se0 how necessaryit Is to keep the
Fountain Of Life Pure.

SHAME OF HIM-Some chap, hard M
for an item, perpetrates the following
Islander on our friends-the Smith fami-
ly. We hope that when they get clear OF
the sheriff, they'll go for him:
A few weeks since, the governor OF
Ohio offered $500 for the arrest of man
named John Smith. There are one hun.
dred and ten counties in Ohio, and in less
than two days the sheriffs of the counties
arrived In Columbus, each with a. man
named John Smith During the three
succeeding days, over two thousand de-
tectives, policemen and private citizens,
from Kentucky, Pennsylvania, New Jer-
sey, Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois, arrived
in Columbus, each fellow bringing with
him some unfortunate man named John
Smith. And the worst OF it is. that each
man insists that his Smith is the Identical
Smith mentioned IN the proclama alton,
and he is going to have that five hundred
dollars or hash the governor right up.
The governor is trying to decide, whether
to pay the reward to- every man in the
lot, or resign.

FREED, NOT CONQUERED
From the N. Y. Evening Post

There seems to be no doubr that the
army of Marshal Mcmahon on Friday
surrendered to the combined forces Of
Germany at Sedan, under King William,
and are now prisoners of war. The late
emperor, Napoleon III, was also taken.
and is henceforth the guest of his great
foe, who will doubtless be wise ENOUGH
to make him comfortable in his last DAYS
and not to provoke revival of his lost
popularity at home by repeating the mis-.
take of St, Helena. -.
The capture of Napoleon alone might
have been a relief to France, where he
had become merely name for bolstered
incompetency, and target for epigrams:
but the surrender of McMahOn's army is
the surrender of the military power Of
France. There is now no army in the
field which can stand for day before
the overwhelming advance of Germany;
and even such fortresses as Strasburg,
Metz and Paris cease to be Of value when
they have no armed support from with
out. There is propably no house in
France upon the sight Of which King
William might not make his bed and
sleep in peace, within a month, if he de-
termines to do it. 80
On Friday, July 15, Napoleon III. de-
clared war against Prussia Confident in
the army, which he has sacrificed twenty
years of the noblest opportunities for
well doing that ever monarch possessed
to make the strongest in the world, he
set out to extend his usurpations and en-
Large his thefts of power. On Friday,
september 2, he and his last army, after
a long series of bloody battles lost, sur
rendered to the nation he provoked :
and France, so long deceived and misled
by him, is helpless in the power of the
great people she designed to plumber.
1t is the empire that passes away, while
France, once more In charge of her own
destinies, will gain more than she loses
| by the humiliation she suffers, if with de-
feat comes the wisdom to accept and i'm
prove it. The true greatness of nations
isnot in standing armies and in the en-
! ployment of barbarous warriors, but in
the arts of peace, for which free France
has resources second to no people. With
her literature, art ana politics no longer
corrupted by despotism, she may enter
upon far nobler career than could have
been hers for generation to come, were
Napoleon to-day debating terms Of peace
in Berlin.

A TELEGRAPHIo CoNTEsT.-Mr d. II
Craig, who is well-known in connection
WITH telegraphy in this country, declares
that the anew system of automatic tele.
graphy," invented'by Mr.. George Little,
mas sending capacity of $4,000 words
per hour for each single wire, while the
capacity of the Morse wire is but 900
words per hour. 1t is proposed to put
this matter to the test, and Mr.. Craig of
fers the following challenge:
1.-The Herald World and Tribune shall
be, or shall appoint, committee ofthree,
to arrange and superintend trial be
tween the one wire line and fast system
of Mr.. Craig and one wire ofthe Western
Union Company, from Washington to
New York, each party to deposit with
the committee $4,000, and shall
cause to be delivered despatch
IN duplicate to Mr.. Craig's
line and the Western Union at Washing-
ton simultaneously, neither-bf the lines
to have any previous knowledge of the
contents OF the despatch, which may be
In writing or printed, and must contain
not less than two thousand nor more than
three thousand words. The Western
Union will use but one wire and employ
but two operators--one 1T each end--who
shall not be changed or relieved during
the trial. Mr.. Craig shall be allowed six
operators-three at Washington to pre-
pare and transmit, and three at New York
to receive, translate and copy the des-
patch !, and whichever party transmits,
makes three legible copies, and first de-
livers them at the Offices of the Herald,
Wer1dand Tribune respectively, shall re-
ceive the $4,000. If awarded to the
Western Union line, one halfwill be con-
tributed to the fund for the Morse statue
in Central Park and the other half to the
Photographers Life Insurance Fund"

| NINE Hours ENoUGH FOR HoRsEs.-,
If horses, writes Joseph Harris, are work
ed steadily from a. m. until 1880, and
then from 1:3O to 6 p. M, say nine hours,
they will accomplish more than if thew
were kept longer in the field and rested
every few bouts.
When | hear the horn blow abuut five
o'clock in the afternoon and see great
stout young fellows leisurely walking TO
the house to cat their cookies. LEAVING
their teams tied to the fence, or with their
heads hanging down in the furrow. /
think this may be good country for
men, but hard one for horses. Because
"a horse cannot gruAble, and man can,
Is no reason why the horse that does the
hard work should not eat as often as the
man who drives. By keeping on until
O'Clock, instead of o'clock, and spending
half an hour at lunch, the horses are kept
out an hour longer in order to do half an
hours work Would it net be better to
keep right along until o'clock and tbus
let the horses have an hours more time in
the stable to eat before lying down to rest
at night7 There would then be plenty
OF time to clean the horses and attend r.
any little things that are now neglected
And, from the horses being in better con.
ditlon, more work would be accomplished
In haying and harvesting, of course, we
must often work as long as we can see
and the men, and horses too, should have
lunch. But in blowing, narrowing. cnl.
'lVatlng, and other ordinary farm work
mere is no advantage in keeping the
horses out 50 late, except occasionally in
getting in the seed, ETC., and when c,oh
s the case the horses should lunch as
much as the man who drives them.

HIGH AND LOW.

The upper and lower strata ofsocie-
ty the high and the low are often odd
ly adjudged by the vulgar mind. The
butcher boy, who delivered, at the;
residence, roasts and sausages for his
employers customers, had no trouble
in. his own mind who were high and
who were low, for, said he, " The
high swear, and the low lie."' The ho-
tel waiter, who was ordered by a cler-
gyman to prepare a dinner for NUM-
ber of clerical friends, inquired
whether the party was high or low
church. Now, what on .earth,p said
the clergyman, "do my friends opin-
ions matter to you ?"' A great deal !,
SIR" rejoined the waiter: off high
church, 1 must provide more wine ;
if low church, more wittles." A, re
constructed African, at Washington
arrested for, stealing, was upbraided
by the Magistrate: I thought Sam:
you belonged to the loyal party that s
on its good behavior, you know ?"--
" OATS just SO, massa; we'sc two class.
es de high and de low. De high takes
what's guv to dem, like Massa Grant !:
de low takes what's not guy to em
like Massa Butler: Use low, dat's all.

THE SNOW OF AGE.

" No snow falls lighter than. the
snow ofage; bnt none is heavier, for
it never melts."
The figure is by no means novel,
but the closing part of the sentence is
new as we'll as emphatic. The Scrip
ture represents age by the almond
tree, which bears blossoms of the
purest white. "The almond tree
shall fourish'-the head shall be
hoary. Dickens says in one of his
chYrastFrss whssey hairy was turning

lightly splashed its SHOWS upon it in

unbearable extent. The doctrine on
which he placed himself with an abso-
lutte faith in its legality was that en-
bodied in the noble and upright reso-
luton of recent Democratic Conven-
ton in Indiana, that the debt should
be paid in strict compliance with the
contract, the five-twenty bonds being.
payable in greenbacks. The law, now,
which authorized the issue ofNational
currency, said in very plain and SIM
pie words that it is legal-tender for
all debts, public and private, except
duties on imports and interest on the
public debt. Therefore, if the people
owe anything else beside duties on
imports and interest on the public
debt, greenback currency was legal
tender for its payment that rose at
once by a bare statement to full
force of demonstration.
