DISEASES OF TIE BLOOD.

"The life of the flesh is in the Blood" is a
Scriptural maxim that science proves to he true.
The people talk of bad blood, as thecause of ma
ny diseases, and like many popular opinions
this of bad blood is founded in truth.
The symptoms of bad blood are usually quite
plaih-9ad Digcstion-causes imperfect nutri-
ton, and consequently the circulation is feeble,
the soft tissues loose their tone and elasticity,
and the tongue becomes pale, ,bIOld, and fire.
quently covered with II pasty, white coat. This
condition soon shows itself in roughness of the
skin, then in ERCPTIvE and LUCRATIVE diseases,
and when long continued, results in serious le-
sion Of the Brain, Liver, Lungs, or urinary APP
paratus. Much, very much, sutferingis caus-
cd by impure blood. 1t is estimated by some
that One-fith of the human family are effected
with ScrOlula in some form.
When the Blood is pure, you are not so liable
to any disease. Many impurities of the Blood
arise from impure diseases Oflarge cities. Erad-
icate every ~impurity from the fountain of life,
and good spirits, fair skin and vital strength
will return to you.

Carving Concealed Weapons.

This barbarOus practice has become so
common that it has been found necessary
in New York to introduce a bill to pre-
vent it. In too manv parts of the country
half-grown boys and old rowdies are the
chief offenders. They swagger about full
of i~nsolence, conscious of being armed,
and are thus emboldened to commit all
kinds of outrages. They insult inoffeusive
people on the streets, on the cars, and in
places of public amusement, and, upon
the slightest provocation, whip out a
deadly weapon and shooting or
cutting. Men given to drink habitually
20 armed, and, when crazed with liquor,
murder some good man. Young men $50
to town. armed as if they were in a land
of savages, or as if their lives bad been
thraatenad--Afa drinks hasty word
il blow-and murder is done. The more
impudent and offensive a man is the great
er the certainty Of his being armed. Such
a fellow is a coward at heart. He pre-
sumes upon his possession of a weapon and
the defenseless condition of his victim.
No truly brave man will go about habitu-
ally armed year in and year out, or even
for a short time, unless his life is in dan
ger from some one who has sworn to take
i. Something ought to be done to put a
stop to such a GeR4Edly, pusillanimous
custom, or murder will be an everyday
affair in every community. The enact
ment of a law making it penitentiary Of
Tense might possibly check it. As it is
now, the habit is increasing, ifthe amount
of killing and stabbing going on is any
criterian.-St. Louis Home Journal.

One WAY OR ANoTHER.-We infer from
some statements we have seen that one
reason why there is so much dishonesty in
politics at present is that many of the
Northerners who came South to raise cot
ton on abandoned" or confscated lands
were unfOrtunate-lost money, and have
gone into politics with the view of recuper-
ating their fortunes. Some ofthem we see
give this as a sufficient reason for offering
to sell their votes and influence in legislN-
tive bodies, to which they were elected by
a minority of the votes cast in their dis
tricts, Frequently persons of this class
were so unfortunate that they did not pay
their negro laborers. We do not under.
stand that they propose to discharge this
obligation by means of what they make as
politicians.-Galvsston News.

BLADDER.

Persons unNcquaintel with the structure and
functions OF the Kidneys cannot estimate the
Importance OF their healthy action.
Eegulae and sufficient action Of the Kidneys
is rs important, nay, even more so, than regu-
lari,y Of the bowels. The Kidneys remove ttom
the Blood those eitete matters which, if permit
ted to remain, would speedily destroy lie. A
total suspension OF the urinary discharges will
occasion death from thirty-siX to tor,y-eight
hours.
When the Urine is voided in small quantities
at the time, or when there is a 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, it should not be
triiled with or delayed, but kOskOo should be
taken at once TO remedy the dithculty, before Il
lesion Of the organs takes place. Most diseases
of the Bladder originate from those OF the Kid
neys, the Urine being imperiectly secreted in
the Kidneys, prove irritating to the Bladder and
Urinary passages. When we r~ecollect that med
icine never reaches tile Kidneys except through
the general circulation OF the Blood, we see how
necessary it isto keep the. Fountain of Lite Pure.

A Mystery Of the War.
From the Gazette de Cambray.

From the Gazette de Cambray.
The carriages of the King of PRUSSIA. es-
corted Sy a numerous detachment OF cuI-
rassiers, at least regiment, have just
passed through wood in the environs of
Rheims. At this spot the road, com
manded by hills, is so narrow as to admi:
of only single vehicle passing. Cavalry
preceded and followed it, when suddenly a
warm fire proceeded from both sides of the
road. They we're tranc-tireurs who were
carrying out a bold stroke meditated be
forehand. One of the carriages which 1t
is said contained four persons of very high
rank, was literally rddled with shots.
One of the 2rincely travellers was killed,
the three others seriously wounded. Who
was this parsonage? The enemy seemed
20 have the greatest interest in
concealing his name and rank. Ac
cording to some it was King Viii
liam according to others Prince Fred
erick Charles or the Crown Prince. How
ever this may be, traveller who came yes-
terday from Rheims to St. Quentin, said
he had seen and touched at Rheims, the
carriage riddled with balls, and numerous
military convoy was conducting toward
Prussia, . coffin containing . corpse, to
which the greatest honors were paid. 1t
was taken into a convent At Rheims, and
on the door was laced notice threaten
ing death to whoever entered. Another
account says the carriage usually contained
only four persons, the King the Crown
Prince, Moltke and Bismarck. 1t must,
therefore, have been one of these. There

Love and Suicide.

From the Cleveland Plaindealer.
We have received the particulars of a
suicide at EImore, on the Cleveland and
Tole 10 road, which occurred on Thursday
night. Thur'ow Cooper, young gentle
man who has been officiating as clerk at the
Elmore House. 10 Eimore, has been in love
with Miss Alice Day. and the fair Alice re-
turned his affection. But the course of true
iove never did run smooth, and slight
misunderstanding occurred; and for few
weeks slight coldDess on the part OF Miss
Day has been quite apparent AT clock
Thursday night Cooper borrowed a pistol
of Mr.. Dean 10 "shoot some rats" Then,
says correspondent Of the Toledo Blade,
went to the hotel, played on the piano,
wrote a note, and then got up, as was sup
posed to 60 to bed. He me: Miss Day in
the hall and asked her if she would not
marry him. She told him she would not
He then showed her the pistol and told
her he intended to shoot himself, and
wished she would come to his room and get
the note he had written TO his mother and
return the pistol to Mr.. Dean. Miss Day
supposed he intended no such thing. He
went to his room, uudressed as usual,
partly covered himself, and then holding
the pistol near his heart DISCHARGED it. The
noise attracted the attention of Mr.. White,
freight agent, who rushed down and got a
light and then he and Mr.. Motley yan up
to the room and found Mr. Cooper breath

The press dispatches from Europe to
New York during the last four weeks mum.
bered about one hundred thousand words.
New York has been better posted on the
issue of the war each day than London,
Paris or Berlin. These dispatches have al
most wholly been sent by single daily pa
per, and with marvellous rapidity and
work OF the Telegraph, II mas been a
marvel to US. To hundreds Of thousands
of minds the whole price is and has been a
deep enigma. Here is a man sitting in a
dark room at He rt's Content. The ocean
cable terminates here. A fine wire attach
ed thereto is made to surround two small
cores of soft iron. As the electric wave
produced by few pieces of copper and
zinc at Valentia, passed through the wires,
these cores became magnetic enough to
move the slightest object. A looking
glass, half an inch In diameter, is fixed on
a bar Of iron one tenth Of an inch square
and half an inch long. On this tiny glass
a lamp is made to glare SO that its light is
reflected on tablet on the wall. The
language on the cable is denoted BY the
shifting of this reflected light from side 10
side. Letter by letter is thus expressed in
this fitting idiom in utter silence on the
wall. There is no record made by the ma
chine except as the patient watcher calls
out to comrade the translated flashes as
they come, and which he records. 1t
seems miracle of patience. There is
something of awe creeps over US as We see
the evidence Of a human touch 3, 900 miles
away swaying that line Of light. By such
delicate process as this, and after being
repeated from line to line FIVE times be

1t is astonishing how ve,y small is the
proportion of really good butter, compared

aware Of the great nicely and skill required
to produce q really good article OF butter;
but knowing that, 1t is still mystery Why
the proportion of good butter is so small.

butter-making that will prevent the app!i
cation Of the above principleI We think
not. because the like circumstances may,
by carefulness, be brought about each

ure to produce an excellent article OF butter,
after having done it once, IS due to neglect
not necessarily upon the part OF the wife

since she was eight years old The Society
appointed committee to investigate the
matter, COMPOSED Of Drs Gill, Edgar,

These gentlemen went diligently to work.
They spent considerable time in visiting
the patient, and last night presented their
report. There was an unusual good atten-

that In several points the perlodicity al
