THE GRAB GAME.-The Salary grab
theft has taken new departure out
West. There it has become SO odious
among the people that they refuse to
listen to speeches mado by Senator
or Congressman who pockctcd the
grab. Public sentiment in Iowa on
this point has upset the Radical pro
gramme in that State. The Chair
man Of the Radical State Committee
had engaged Ex. Rev. Senator Harlan,
Congressman Palmer, Orr, and other
salary grabbcrs, to stump the State,
but the indignation ofthe people is so
great that they will not allow them TO
speak. Tho chairman, TO save his
party from total wreck, has been com
pcllcd TO cancel all appointments made
for these fellows. So il seems that
public morality is not quite dead yet.

BEING ANNOYED. clamor OF
the hour" is. troubling large num-
ber of Congressman these times. This
is what they term the complaints of
tho people in relation to the salary
grab. If wo are not mistaken the
people well meet this insolencc on the
part of their Representatives in q
manner that will not be misunderstood,
when the grabbers ask them for u
reelection,

HELP ONE ANoTHEB.-This little SEN
tence should be written on every heart
stamped on every memory. 1t should
be the golden rule practice, not only in
every household, but throughout the
world. By helping one another we not
only remove thorns from the pathway
and anxiety from the mind, but we feel
a sense of pleasure in our hearts, know
ing we are doing duty to fellow crea-
ture.
A helping hand or an encouraging
word is no loss to us, yet it is benefit
to others. Who has not felt the power
of a little sentence Who has not need
ed the encouragement and aid of a kind
friend? How soothing when perplexed
with some task that is both difficult and
burdensome, to feel a gentle hand ON the
shoulder, and to hear kind voice whis-
pering, do not be discouraged l see
your troubles, let me help you" What
strength is inspired, hope created, what
sweet gratitude is felt: and the. great
difficulty dlssolves as dew before the
sunshine. Yes. let US help one another,
by endeavoring to strengthen and en-
courage the weak and lifting the bur-
dens of care from the weary and oppres
sed, that life may glide smoothly on. and
the fount of bitterness yield sweet wa.
ters; and He, whose willing hand is ev.
er ready to aid us, will reward our hum.
bic endeavors, and every good deed will
be "bread upon the water, to return af
ter many days" (" if not to us, at least t
those we love.

A CHEAP DIsINFEcTANT One pound
of green coperas. costing seven cents,
dissolved in one quart of water, and
poured down water-closet, will effect
ually destroy the foulest smells. On
board ships and steamboats,, about hotels
and other public places there is nothing
so nice to purify the air Simple green
coperas, dissolved under the bed in any,
thing that will hold water will render a
hospital, or other place for the sick, free
from unpleasant smells. For butchers
stalls, slaughter-houses, sinks, and
wherever there are offensive putrid
gases, dissolve coperas and sprinkle
about, and III a lew days the smell will
all pass away. If a cat, rat or mouse
dies about the house and sends forth an
offensive ef1uvia, place seme dissolved
coperas in an open vessel near the place
where the nuisance is, and it will soon
purify the atmosphere.

We~haye all been touched by that ten
der song beginning with the enquiry
"What is home withouta mother ?" 1t
seems there are two answers to the con-
undrum. We are glad to believe that
most mothers are very excellent people
to their children, but now and then we
hear Of one who is nothing to brag on. :"
When girl has a really good mother
she ought to love her very much. 1t is
not often We hear of such a paragon of
mothers as she in Kentucky who lately
forced her daughter sixteen years old to
marry a wealthy old gentleman Of seven
ty-fve and upwards That mother has
foresight The happy bridegroom has
no relatives in this world, but seven OF
eight children in some other who died
of consumption. But he has something
better than relatives for he has a rack
ing cough. He can't last long. Sup.
pose he lives ten years,-which is hard
ly possible, e,-the girl will be only TWEEN
ty-six years old and will be worth mil.
lion. To be sure there might be danger
of her taking consumption from him, but
her mother is sharp enough to manage
that. Besides, the girl hates the poor
old dotard, and tried to elope with 8
young man whom she loved. We don't
believe in elopements. and don't believe
IN young men. especially if they are mo-
rich. We are happy and proud to say
that this shrewd mother was Of our opin
ion exactly. She drove off the young
man with pistol and sent for a worthy
clergyman at once, and he united thu
loving old gentleman with the hating
little girl and as he slipped fifty dol
lar greenback into his vest pocket h
asked God to smile upon his good work
And still our Universalist friends sa.
there is no hell How that girl mus
"hunor' her mother, that her days ma.
