respective votes, and several States which

than was the old lady, for he had not seen

Plain Talk to the Girls.

IT is a fact which should be continually
brought before the eyes of every girl in
the land, that the fashionable method of
copmitting suicide by wearing corsets
should be drowned down. Say anything
to one about wearing these ribs of whale
bone and steel, and she will say they i'm
prove the form. The idea Don't you
suppose, you little fool, that your Maker
knew what He was about when He fash
toned you with His own handss Or do
you think He made woman first, and
afterward made French modiste, to get
her into decent shapes Perhaps that was
how it happened that women are left as
nature made them, and fools are shaped
by the dressmakers. But it would be
only justice to allow the girls to grow up
to womanhood before they decide whether
they would be women or fools, instead of
putting them into corsets when they are
tender children.
1t is absolute cruelty to put corsets on
a little child No child can wear them
more than two or three hours at a time,
at first, but they are made to wear them
as long as they can endure the fortunes
and then take them off and rest awhile,
only to resume the horrid things again,
and SO on until they become hardened to
the torture, and can delight the dress
maker with slim waist to suit her eye.
But the next question that arises is,
whether anything has been taken from
the body during the process of slimming
the patient? Certainly the waist was
smooth and little tapering before the
corsets were applied, now it is longer,
and not more than half the size at the bot
tom If nothing has been taken from the
waist what have the corsets done with the
organs that filled that portion of the body
before the, corset strings were drawn ?
hox no ali mr.
below the waist, and, as those places
were already occupied with organs of
their own those squeezed from the waist
must have been forced INTO the space
allotted for something else to grow in.
So the logical conclusion is, the organs
that nature placed within the waist
have been forced to vacate the premises,
and crowd themselves within the
space allotted to other and equally
important organs. No wonder the girls
lose their rosy cheeks, when the corset
strings are drawn SO tightly that the blood
cannot circulate freely enough to run
into the cheeks. No wonder that the
lungs refuse to do their work when they
haven't half room to work in. And no
wonder the lower organs refuse to per-
form their Office, and girls grow old be-
fore their time, suffering from female
complaints brought on by wearing corsets
and displacing the organs of the body.
We lament the fact that American
women have so few children, yet the
mothers continue to prevent children
from growing up competent to rear
children, by the abominable use of cor
sets. And fathers look on and say moth
ing. Talk about the foolishness of Chi
nese women cramping their feet, What
are the feet in comparison with the lungs
and heart ?-Hone md HedtH.

FOUR things were proved, as clearly as
anything was ever proved, by Mr.. Robe
sons accusers before the committee ap-
pointed to investigate that gentleman S
official action in relation to the SecOr
claims: 1. That Secretary Welles had
passed upon and allowed the Secor claims,
and closed the case, during his official
term. 2. That Congress had passed a
law approprating certain sum to the
Secors in full settlement of all their
claims against the United States. 3. That
Mr.. Robson re-opened the SecOr case in
violation of rule heretofore invariably
observed by the Departments, that no
Cabinet officer shall reopen n case that
has been disposed of by IA predecessor in
the same office. 4. That Mr.. Robson al
lowed the Secors the sum of SOB, 600, in
plain violation of the law above referred
to, and paid over the money, although
there was no law authorizing him to
do so.
Notwithstanding these facts, part of
them of record, part of them admitted
by the Secretary himself, and the re-
mainder established by the testimony of
such witnesses as cX Secretary Welles,

ported, will acquit Mr. Robeson. 1t hap

Cause and Cure of SMALLPOX.

Dr. Carl Both recently lectured before
the Ladies Physiological Institute, in
Wesleyan Hall, on 'Snall Pox-lts Cause
and Cure" The lecture consisted simply
of the application of the cellular principle
OF Nirchow to the disease of smallpox.
After long and continued study, DR.. Both
finds that he has unwittingly arrived at
the same conclusion with DR.. Carl Spnzic,
Of the st. Louis Medical Society, who has
made it special investigation. They hold
that the disease is not contagious, but
that under certain circumstances it is not
possible to take it. The disease results
from a superiluity of albumen, which be-
comes thickened with a residuum which
must be thrown off by the body unless the
blood be purified by re-estahlishing the
proportion of albumen water and salts. BY
introducing natural acids like lemon JUICE
into the blood and then providing it with
its complement of salt--using common ia
Bile salt-wth proper diet, the disease
may be easily cured or prevented. Dr.
Both represented his ideas by means ofthe
blackboard aud chalk, and demonstrated
the theory he presents with sort OF
mathematical precision, and placed it as =
scientific demonstration against the com
mon experience Of life, which he thought
to have been but Of little consequence to
humanity. The theory has been introdHc-
ed into the different medical journals in
Germany, and an effort is being made to
bring it before the American public.

Paris n IIumbug.

The Rev. J. II. Barclay ventures to diff
fer fromthe popular estimate. He writes
TO the Lutheran Obserrer - If there is
any unmitigated humbug on the face of
the earth it is Paris. People visit it be-
cause it is the fashion, and learn to muir
der little French and to praise delightful
Pare, 80 they pronounce it, because it is
the fashion. Paris has its beauties; it is
a fine city, but there is a wearisome same
ness about its streets. Uniformity be-
comes tresome. Uniform, as rule, in
height uniform in style, the Mansard
roof is everywhere prevalent. No one
can erect an edifice until submitted to tie
Royal Architect, who insists on certain
rules, one man power, the curse Of ma
tions and churches. There is not in Paris,
except her Opera House, single building
equal to Benefits HeraW office or the
Park Bank, save in extensiveness, and yet
we are of the conclusion that when
European visitors are going into ecstacies
over the second city of the world it is the
fashion, and that explains and covers Il
great deal. If Paris il over-estimated,
much more is her army swindle. The
Prussian victories lessened it considerably
in our estimation. We saw, probably,
80, 010 of the flower of the army, viz: the
Versailles troops. They were walking
scare-crows they were the slOuchiest,
dirtiest, worst dressed, meanest drilled

cherished dream is gone; the days Of the
Old Guard are over. The spirit of the

away. Ichabod is written on the banners
of France, for the glory hath departed.

stern old soldiers, who recall the glory OF

WONDERFUL STATEMENTS. - Unless
hundreds of our most responsible citizens
have conspired 80 delude the community,
a medicine has at last been introduced
which is a specific for almost every hui
man ailment, not evolving the entire
paralyzation or partial destruction OF
the organ or organs in which it exists.
These witnesses testify lin some instances
from their own personal experience, in
others on behalf of friends or relatives )
that dyspepsia, liver complaint, remit
tent and intermittent fever nervous de-
bility, and numberless other diseases, in
ternal and external, are rapidly and rad
ically cured by this new and powerful
remedy. 1t halls from California, and
has in the short space of two years over
leaped all its would-be competitors
among the advertised tonics of the day,
and become par excellence the medicine Of
tie people. California is an exceptional
region. Its vegetable products, especially
those OF a medical nature, have no equiv
alent elsewhere, and it is from the choi-
cest of these that DR.. ]. Walker prepares
his famous alcoholics VINEGAR Buffers,
the invaluable invigorant, nutriment,
laxative and Alternative to which we re-
fer. Those who have tested the curative
prophecies of this marvellous preparation
pronounce it the most comprehensive
remedy ever offered to mankind and as
sert that there is no inorganic disease
which it will not subdue.
