ed and betrayed wife has gone to the
lunatic asylum in Virginia. She look.
ed through her husbands dry goods
shop window one night, and saw the
wretch in the very act of adjusting a
shawl around the dropping shoulders
of another woman. Stung to madness
at the sight, the injured wife drew a
revolver she had just purchased for a
plaything for her baby, and sent bull
let crashing through the window and
into tho other woman's anatomy
Hurrying in to confront the guilty
couple, after this sudden and violent
emotion, she found the wretched crea-
ture who had seduced her husbands
affections from their lawful object, was
none other than wire-frame dummy,
used as a sign for the display of fash
ionablc goods The shock was too
much for her delicate nerves, and the
poor betrayed wife is locked up in an
asylum, while the 6endish husband is
permitted to go at large, unwhipped
of justice, and free TO pin shawls around
seductive dummies when and where he
pleases. 1t is very sad.

REsT.-The cry for rest is otter
louder that the cry for food, not that
it is more important, but because it is
often harder to get. The best rest
comes from sound sleep. Of two men
or women, otherwise equal, the one
who sleeps the best will be the most
moral, healthy, and efficient. Sleep
will do much to cure irritability of
temper, peevishness, uneasiness, and
insanity. 1t will restore to vigor an
over-worked brain, and build up and
strengthen weary body. 1t will cure
the headache, hypochondria, the blues,
and long list of nervous maladies.-
But the cure of sleepiness itself is not
80 easy. 1t is often produced by hard
study, long-continued watchfulness, too
little exercise, tea and whisky drink
ing, and tobacco using. To break up
the habit are required: First, good
clean bed. Second, sufficient exercise.
Third, good air, and not too warm
room. Fourth, freedom from too much
care. Fifth, clean stomach. Sixth,
clear conscience. Seventh, avoid
ance of stimulants and narcotics.

Benefits Of Laughter.

Probably there is not the remotes
corner or little inlet of the minut,
bloodvessel of the body that does not
feel some wavelet from the great con.
vulsion produced by hearty laughter
shaking the central man. The blood
moves more lively-probably its chem
zeal, electric or vital condition is in
stinctively modifed-it conveys diff
ferent expression to all the organs Of
the body, as it visits them on that par
ticular mystic journey, when the man
is laughing, from what it does at other
times. And thus it is that a good
laugh lengthens mans life, by con-
veying distinct and additional stimu
lus to the vital forces. The time may
come when physicians, attending more
closely than they do now to the innu-
merablo subtitle influences which the
soul exerts upon its tenement of clay,
shall prescribe to toryid patient $50
many peals of laughter" to be under
gone "at such and such times" just as
they do now that far more objection
able prescription pill, or an electric
or galvanic shock, and shall study the
best and most effective method of
producing the required effect in each
patient.

On a certain occasion noted infidel
borrowed a sum of money from the
late DIR. Lathrop, of West Springfield,
Mass. When he came to pay it he
thought to pose the doctor by arguing
from the Bible.
"You ought not to take interest for
this money, for the Jews were forbid
den to take usury."
ooh, no." said the doctor, "you for

to take usury from their own people,
but they were allowed to take money
from the heather"
The application was too direct to be
mistaken, and the man was quite will.

RAISING THE DRowNED.-In the case
of the recent accidental drowning, in
the Hackensack river, N. j., several
persons made attempts to recover the
body, but without success. A French
Canadian, named Busche, then under

proceeded after the following scientific
manner. Having supplied himself
with some glass gallon jars and guam.
tity of unslacked lime, he went in
boat to the place where the man was
seen to 60 down. One of the jars was
filled half full of lime, then filled up
with water and tightly corked. 1t
was then dropped into the water, and
soon exploded with loud report
After the third trial, each time in a
different place, the body arose
to the surface and was secured.-lSc,.

SPECIAL NOTICES.

Medical Mistakes.-It took the faculty
about thousand years to discover that the
best way to cure disease was not to render the
patient too weak to contend with it. Within
the last twenty years, however. the whole sys-
tenn Of medical practice has been changed for
the better. In diseases or complaints caused
by excessive heat, for instance. the doctors no
longer recommend the reduction of the in
valid's strength by prostrating medicines.
The vast success which has attended the use
Of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters as remedy
for debility. has given even the most pre-
JUDGED members of the old school an insight
into the only true and rational theory of cure.
Cantharides, calomel. and ovorpoEering doses
Of opium. are now among the obsolete nos
trums Of another age. Tho lancet. once as
much the legitimate weapon Of the physician
as the sword is Of the soldier. is seldom drawn
from its case. The principle Of life is no lon
ger drained from the veins by the quart, and
water Cruel for the strengthiess invalid has
ceased to be considered an appropriate diet.
Vigor is the motto Of the rational members of
the profession. and they understand, at last.
the value of sterling vegetable tonic. So.
also, with the people at large; and without
consulting medical men at all. they have
adopted the Bitters as household remedy.
thereby economising both cash and health.
Note the fact that Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
is sold in bottles only. never in bulk. and
that the abortions springing up in various
parts Of the country. and sometimes offered
as substitute for the great national specific.
are all utterly worthless.

SUMMER ENDING.

Well, the summer is pretty well over.
At least one thing is certain, the corn is
made-the staff of life is polished of,
thanks to the rains that fell so plenti-
fully during the past three months. A
cotton crop is assured; the boll-worm
cannot conquer all the bolls-there are
more hollis than boll-worms, surplus
sufficient for a good, though not, per
haps, an average yield. Already the
new crop is coming in, like the first drops
of rain before the clouds burst into
showers, and the showers into foods
The agony of doubt is over; the labor is
expended; the farm stock turned out to
grass, and the fruit Of the long summer
toll ripening into the hand of the toiler.
There is no danger Of famine; no dan
ger to those imaginary things-the
wheels of commerce; no danger to the
great lines Of Communication that come
into our city; no dangerto Forests road
nor the River Valley road; no danger tc
anything now. We might here quote
from Bishop Heber's Grsenland's icy
mountains" and midas coral strand,
where every prospect pleases, and only
man is vile," to point a moral or sugges
contrast. But poetry and the jargoI
Of a battling world do not harmonic
except that what some people look OF
with cold, material eyes, others gaze oil
with orbs in fine frenzy rolling" The
victory is within our grasp. The verJ
elements may be de6ed now, for they
cannot 20 back on themselves, moi

A Political Lecture.

Mr.. Peter Tracy has sent communi-

him to deliver one of his political lee
lures in this city. Theinvitation was
signed by the mayor and the majority of
the members of the Memphis press, who
in common with the people are anxious
to hear an able orator on his new de-
parture from the Republican ranks.
Senator Schurz's platform is general
amnesty, against San Domingo annexa-
ton, against the Ku-Klux bill, for civil
service reform, for revenue as opposed
to protective tariff, and opposition to
the reelection of Grant. Senator Schurz
insists, however, that "the new wine of
Republicanism cannot be put into old
Democratic casks" ted

Famine Impending in II ungary.

New York, August PA Heralds
special, dated Pesth, August %, says:
There is fearful misery in Southern Hun
gary, formerly the most fertile grain pro-
dncing country in Europe. 0ne-third of
the country is under water. Bad admin
istration has suffered the dams, which
we're built to prevent the overflow Of the
river Tens, to fall into ruins; they grad
ually yielded to the pressure Of water,
and swollen rivers have now flooded the
country for miles. All the wheat crops
are gone, and houses and graneries are
wholly submerged in water. There has
been unusual storms this season. The
peasantry Of South Hungary yearly rely
for sustenance on their wheat and TO-
bacco crops. Hail storms destroyed the
fruit gardens, fruits and vineyards, be-
sides the grain and tobacco fields. The
severity of the Government in collecting
taxes increases the misery and poverty
Of the people; cattle and asses have gen
orally been seized to pay arrears Of
taxes. The peasants are Respondent and
embittered All trade, agriculture and
industry in the south Of Hungary are
ruined. A famine is impending.

A CASE FOR THE LAWYERS.

Akerman should be indicted under
the act of Congress denouncing pains
and penalties against any one interfer-
ing with or putting obstacles in the way
of free suffrage. The law was intended
to apply to the negro, but the courts
might construe it to embrace also the
white man. North Carolina was about
to vote on proposition to assemble a
convention to reconstruct her Constitu-
ton. Alderman, the Attorney General
of the United States, and lungs, throat,
tongue and mouth of Grant, went into
the State and warned the people that
Congress would not recognize the new
Constitution if the Government under
the old one refused to abdicate power.
He said in substance that Congress was
master of all such questions, and meant
for the people to understand that an at
tempt to set up new Government would
involve them in trouble. His speech
was threat, and had the effect Of
driving the people from the polls
and defeating the proposition. As
a North Carolina paper puts it, the
apprehension of Federal bayonets did
the work, coupled with fraud. The suf--
fering people were afraid that Grant
would make good his threat of more
bayonets and more reconstruction, and
voted under moral coercion more de-
grading even than the actual presence
of compelling troops at the polls. They
voted under stress Of fear" Here is
colossal violation of every principle of
free government, as well as a violation
of the spirit, if not the terms, Of posi-
tive law. Let us suppose that such
speech as Alderman delivered to the
white people of North Carolina, for pur
poses ofintimidation, hai been addressed
to body OF negroes by Democrat, and
that speech, bearded all through with
threats, had frightend them from going
to the polls, or, having gone there, fright
ened them from voting their sentiments,
and thus defeated their measure; would
not that Democratic orator be prosecuted
forthwith? Would not the vengeance of
the Government pursue him2 Who
doubts it2 But Mr.. Akerman can go
into the State of North Carolina and SO
play upon the fears of the people as to
amount to an atrocious interference with
the freedom of suffrage. There has
never been an act of intimidation more
effectnal. Here is live issue for the
people. Shall the Government intimi-
date States and people, and drive them
from the polls, and yet punish, in an OPP
ponent, with rigor, what even the most
refined ingenuity can torture into vio-
lation of the election law2 As it is, the
Government is master of the States and
people. Could we not 60 into the cam
paign, next year, upon this single issue,
and, if united, beat down this Admins
tration, and break to pieces the Radical
party
