CHICAGO thieves are using the
sand bag" as a weapon quite ex-

York aud London thieves. Its effect
Is to render victims on whom it is
applied unconscious. If a very severe
blow is struck by the operator, F." con-
eussion Of the brain, with fatal re-
suits, might occur. In fact, several
fatal cases are reported in London
and New York. When the sand bag
was first introduced it vas supposed
that tho victims who were picked up
insansiblc on the streets lad been
drinking, and, overcome by the effects
Of the liquor, had fallen where found,
aud had subsequently, been robbed ~

did these cases become, and so aecu-
rately did the accounts given BY the
victims tally as TO the circumstances
Of the attacks. as to leave no doubt

DECISION OF THE BIBLE QUESTION
IN THE SCHOOLS OF CINCINNATI,

The long pending question with re-
gard to the use of the Bible in the
public schools of Cincinnati, (Which
rules with regard to its use in other pub
lie schools ofthe State) has been decided
in the interest of morality and justice.
The decision of Judge Hogan was based
upon the broad and enlightened ground
that christianity is recognized by the
Constitution, and without it there can
be no good and permanent government.
The decision does credit to the Supreme
Court, and will become a rallying point
for the friends of religious freedom, in
the struggle which Professionalism is yet
to have in this country with the power
of Popery. Let the friends of the Bible
thank God and take courage.
It may be matter of interest TO mem
ton that the Judge who declared this
opinion, Judge Bellamy Storer, is an
Episcopalian. Judge Hogan is a Meth
edist, and Judge TAFT a liberal Unitarian.

THE BREATH OFLTFE.

The above is the title TO pamphlet
just issued from this Office and prepared
by DIR. w. q. Mansfield, of Emporia.
Its object is to throw light upon that
department of medicine known as Ho-
mGopathy. The author in the first
place defines Homeopathy, explaining
both what it is and what it is not, and
defends the Latin expression which the
disciples of the Homeopathic school
have adopted as maxim, "SiHTlia 81
naittOus CUroRtUr," or like is cured by
like, from the numerous false and per-
verted foundations with which the
enemies of Homeopathy have distort-
ed 1t. He then cites from eminent Al
lopaths to show the lack OF confidence
they themselves feel in the strong med
icines which their theories teach them.
TO use. Hospital Reports are then Civ
en- TO show the comparative rates of
mortality under the two modes of med
ical treatment. Finally, facts and fig-
ures are produced to show the steady
and rapid advance which Homeopathy
has made since its first PRONUNCIATION
by Hahnemann. ~.
Whatever may be the different views
of our readers It win well repay every
one to give this pamphlet careful,
unbiased perusal.
Nothing is more contemplate than to
see man denounce and deride some-
thing of which he is wholly ignorant.
No one hasa right thus to do. When
one has, by extensive experience and
hard study made himself thoroughly
eonyersant with doctrine or system,
he may then safely and with reason un-
dertake to expose whatever fallacies his
investigation may have brought TO light.
There is nothing SO valuable to man as
health; there is, therefore, nothing so
important to be acquainted with as the
laws which regulate health and the
causes and nature of disease, together
with its preventives and remedies, and
the best mode of administering anti
dotes. The pamphlet before MS explains
the method of that system of medical
practice which Homeopathists have
adopted. A knowledge of this method
will certainly do no one any harm and
may do great many great deal of
good. Read the treatise. For sale at
