The charge which the Standard makes
in its last issue in discussing the salary
grab measure. that the democrats in Con-
gress were bribed to support it, is a sweep
ing confession of the poor opinion it has
oc its own party. If they can be bribed
by republicans to support administration
measures what q Twcedish set they must
be And what stupendous humbug il
is to denominate a party with such lead
ers the party of reform! Out upon par
ty that is guilty of taking brides by the ac-
acknowledgements of its own organs! Bill
Tweed is its fair representative. This
proposition of The Standard adds another
to the conundrums which it has previ-
ously presented.

HOMEOPATHY.

Lecture OF Professor J. p. nrainard.
At Lyceum hall, + street, between Eleventh
and Twelfth, yesterday morning, Professor John
7. DFainard lectured before the Progressive
spIrituallsts upon the subject OF Health and
Drugs. lie said our ignorance was generally the
cause OF disease, and II was the physicians ofice
TO furnish remedial agent. He defended the
homeopathic system, but did not want to be un-
derstood by that term that he meant "little pills
coated over with sugar" The principle OF home
apathy was, that whatever drug would produce
certain conditions upon healthy body would,
Ia smaller quantity, correct the same symptoms
In diseased body. He instanced sulphur as
curing cutaneous eruptons, and yet producing
the eruptions upon healthy person; also OUT
nine as giving the symptoms OF fever AMI ague
u healthy and arrestlng the malldy In dis
cased body. DruRs arrest disease, but food
must nourish the body, and thousands die OF
starvation after the cause OF the malady Is re-
moved. IL you bfuse your finger, apply warm
water, not cold. aud relief Will speedily follow.
The Professors theory might he summed up
In few words: A remedy must be capable OF
producing the same disease upon healthy body
IN order TO arrest similar symptoms In diseased
system. lie quoted ancient authorities In oppO-
ton TO this general principle, but said that mod
ern facts and principles had proved his theory to
be irrefutable. Many OF these ancient Ideas mad
exploded and among them was the lancet, which
he was glad TO see was becoming In distse.
After the lecture, Mr.. White, the returned
delegate to the National Splrltualislic COnven-
ton, In his report stated that he had opposed
and voted against Victoria WoOdhull's free-lUve
principles, and awaited the action OF the I.yceum
upon the position he had taken.
DR.. Mary Walker said that, although not q
member, she thought resolutions Ignoring such
principles would not be Inappropriate. She had
often been wounded by evil insinuations against
the Spiritualists OF Washington, and would ike
the people OF this city anu the whole land to
know that the Spiritualists here assembled cut
themselves loose from those who advocate free
love principles, and frown upon all such evil
teachings. 81 KNOW" said she, 'that there are

This Is not Danbury Neps story, but II Is
nevertheless true. The not too happlly-mar
ried Jones lives with his wife and the little
Joneses at tho South End. Last Thursday
night misunderstanding had occurred, and
the two took to their couch In the pouts. and
went to sleep without the goodnight kIss, II
was a muggy night, and the mosq ultoes were
both active and feroclous. While Mrs. j,
slept soundly, undlsturbed by the pests, Jones
was kept awake, and passed his time In con-
vsrsing In choice phrases at his tormentors
aud In vain efforts TO knock q few of them
twice their length" His violent movements
fnaiiy aroused Mrs. Jones, and half awak-
ened, she arose on her elbow, Just In time TO
receive a singing blow between the nose and
eyes, which Jones had intended for mos
quito. remembering the tilt" of the even
ing, and being . woman of spirit she was not
the one to tamcly submit to such indlgnity,
and instantly her claws were In Jones hair
and doing vigorous duty on his face. Jones
was 100 proud to acknowledge his accident,
put busied himself In trying TO free himself
from his irate companions grasp. This was
NOT accomplished till his checks were ridged
IN regular burrows, like the freshly -ploWcd
held, and spears Of hair were strewcd over
the pillows. The two painting contestants
separated, Mrs. Jones to weep bitter tears,
and Jones 70 eogitate upon the first steps nc,
eessary TO secure divorce. Three days have
since passed, and Jones pride still refuses TO
yield; his wife doctors her black eve, and
sobs In the full belief that she was struck In
anger BY her cruel husband. One thing
should be said to the credit OF Jones. He at
tempted to cover up his disgrace among his
companions at the store the noSt morning by
Kicking the cat, saying at the same time that
after his experience with those kittens last
evening he never wanted to see another one.
