DISEASES oFARTIsAys-Gilders are

DISEASES OF ARTIsANs.-Gilders are
subject to mercurial affections. They
suffer from giddiness, asthma, and very
frequently from partial paralysis, which
often induces peculiar kind of stammer-
ing. As might be supposed, they fire.
quently suffer from unpleasant ulcers in
the mouth, which is true salvation.
Miners in the quicksilver mines suffer
from vertigo, palsy and commissions,
and survive generally but few months.
Pottery GLACIERS, who use lead large
ly, suffer a condition very similar to
that described above, with the addition of
dropsy, loss of teeth and enlarged spleen.
Palsy of the limbs, especially of the arms,
is a common effect of poison from lead.
Consumption is common among these
workers.
Glass-blowers are the victims of those
affections produced by sudden vicissi-
various infammations. Their eyes are
weak, while they are generally thin and
delicate.
F Stone-cutters inhale the sharp par
ticles, which are apt to produce dis
ease of the lungs. 8 =
Plasterers suffer from the gases dis
engaged and from excessive moisture.
They suffer very much from labored
breathing, have pallid visages, and they
digest badly.
Filters are short-lived, Whether the
metal be brass or iron, the fine sharp
particles make their way into the lungs,
where they develop disease, sometimes
asthma, sometimes consumption.
Workers in wool and cotton breathe
close, unchanged atmosphere, while
their lungs are filled with the irritating
dust of the material upon which they
work
All indoor occupations, with the
present imperfect notions about ventila-
ton, are more or less mischievous.
Outdoor upations-farming, garden
ing and other similar employments-
afford, with an intelligent comprehen-
sion of the food question, the best OPP
portunity for health and long life.
Driving stage or express-wagon, with
frequent leaving for the delivery of
packages, travelling through the coun-
try on foot as book agent--these
and similar employments are perhaps
not inferior to farming and gardening.

LONELINESS OF Coon TEMPER
Is she not the very sparkle and sun
shine of life "a woman who is happy
because she can't help it-whose smiles
even the coolest sprinkle of misfortune
cannot dampen. Men make a terrible
mistake when they marry for beauty,
for talents or for style. The sweetest
wives are those who possess the magic
secret of being contented under any cir
cumstances. Rich or poor, high or
low, it makes no difference; the bright
little fountain of Joy bubbles up just as
unsteady in their hearts. Do they live
in a og-cabins the fire that leaps up on
its humble hearth becomes brighter
than the gilded chandeliers in an Alad-
din palace. Where is the stream of
life so dark and unpropitious the sun
shine of happy face falling on tie
turbid tide will not awaken an answer
ing gleams Why, these joyously tenn
pered people don't know half the good
they do.

THE CALDWELL CASE.

The report of the committee to investi-
gate the case Of Senator Caldwell of Kan
sas proves conclusively the charge made
against him of buying his way into the
Senate with money. The testimony pro-
duced before the committee was convinc-
ing. Names Of persons who received
money were given, sums stated. and times
and places mentioned, with an explicit
ness that can leave no doubt of bribery.
Illuminating as it must be to the Senate to
know that one of its members has been
guilty Of the acts proved against Cald-
well, and reluctant as Senators may feel
to deal with him as he merits, they should
not on any account fail to expel him from
their body. If they decline to do it the
stain upon him will attach to the entire
Senate. BY shielding him they will be-
come partakers of his crime. They can
only preserve their good name by remov-

grace upon it.
If such transactions rs are brought to
light in Caldwell's case are not rcbuked
by the Senate, there will be no limit to
corruption but the overthrow Of the gov
ernment Gold will be freely used to OBJ
tain place. until the public sense becomes
thoroughly debauched and depraved. The
condition Of morals in State where such
practices as Caldwell resorted to, buying
men in the market almost as openly as
cattle, must be exceedingly low. In no
State where the people have proper re-
gard for and understanding of the duties
and prophecies belonging to them in q
moral sense, could such shameless bribery
have been carried on, but in Kansas it
seems to have met with little objection,
the general idea seeming to be that a
place in the Senate of the Uuited States is
legitimate marketable commodity.
There can be little surprise when we
learn as we do that il is considered good
sport in some parts of that State TO ride
through the streets, discharging pistols
right and left, at people abroad or in their
houses. If bribery is no harm for Sera-
tor, surely murder and robbery can be no
worse for the common and Ignorant class.
The responsibility after all is with the
community. Where immortality and lax
notions of public virtue rule corrupt men
will rise to the top.
Let the Senate do its duty boldly. Let
it purge itself from the corruption cling
ing to its garments. Let it set an exam
pie that will deter others from resorting
to bribery and other corrupt means to OBJ
tain exalted position. Such an example
is not only required as an act OF justice tc
the Senate, but as lessen and warn.

letter published in the London Daily
News gives an interesting account of the
manner in which one cargo Of Polyesian
slaves was stolen. According to the writer,
a two.masted vessel, named the Lusene, cast
anchor off Motilap. Twenty-Five men went
Off to her to barter. They were welcomed
on board and treated very kindly, and TO-
ward evening they were asked if they would
like to sleep on board. This offer they glad
~ accepted, bat to their surprise, the next
morning they found the vessel under sail.
At this time they found there were on board
beside themselves, thirty seven natives of
Malicolo, but they do not know how they
were obtained. The vessel next went 70 Avab,
where she lay off and on, and sent boat
ashore to invite the natives on board to trade;
none of the boats crew could speak the lam
guage of Avab, Blu. they made their desire
known by showing fowls, yams, etc., and
pointing 70 the ship. The men focked on
board, and twenty-five were made prisoners.
The boat then returned to shore, where fiYe
more were captured and carried off by force.
making total of thirty men from that island.
Some of them were tied or put in irons, hav-
ing manifested disposition to swim ashore.
After leaving Avab the vessel fell in with u
canoe having two natives of Amota in her
These were dragged out of the canoe and
taken on board. The canoe was sent adrift.
At Murilap the boat landed, and the crew
persuaded woman to come on board to ge.
something to eat and they seized man and
boy and carried them off by force. At San
IA Marie five more men were obtained. The
horrors to which these unfortunates were ey.
posed were beyond description.
