NASAL CATARRH.-CataIrh is not
disease of the mans nose. 1t is a disease
of the man. showing itself in his nose.
The blood which is now in my brain is be-
fore am done writing this sentence back
in my heart. and OFF on visit to my feet,
and now it is distributed to my liver,
stomach, kidneys-every part. Every
part of the body is fed every moment from
the same blood. Every atom of every
organ and tissue is obtained from that
blood, and every minute all this blood
intermixed. Now, do you suppose that
one part of the body can draw away from
the rest, get up disease and carry on an
independent operation of its own, on its
own responsibility
A man has a catarrh discharge from his
nose. He is an editor, aud mostly confined
to sedentary habits. His digestion is
weak, bowels constipated. head dull, and
general condition altogether unsatisfac-
tory. He comes to me with long story
about his catarrh. and finally wishes to
know if l have any confidence in the ad-
vertised cures for this disgusting affliction;
would be willing to take anything or do
anything if he could only get rid of the
horrible nuisance, etc.
"Will you do exactly what will advise
for week ?"
Yes; wouldn't mind standing on my
head for that length of time, if could only
reduce myself to the decent use of one
ocket-handkerchiefa day."
Eat piece of beefsteak half as large as
your hand, one baked potato, and one slice
of bread for your breakfast; piece of roast
beef as large as your hand, with one boiled
potato and one slice of bread, for dinner;
take nothing for supper, and go to bed at
$50 O'Clock. Sleep, if possible, half an
hour before dinner. Drink nothing with
your meals, nor within two hours after
ward. Drink as much cold water on rising
in the morning and on lying down at night
as you can conveniently swallow, and you
may add draUghts of cold water, if you
wish, before eating your meals. Live four
to six hours a day in the open air, riding
in the saddle and walking. Battle fire.
quently, and every night on going to bed
rub the skin hard with hair gloves. In

MILD WINTERS.-The midness of the
present season. though unusual, bears no
comparison to that of some winters ''lOng
gone by" In 1172 the temperature was
So high that leaves came out on the trees
i'll January, and birds hatched the 5roods
in February. lu 1889 the winter was
equally mild. aud the maideus of Cologne
wore wreaths of violets and corn flowers at
Christmas and on twelfth day. In 1421
the trees howered in the month Of March,
and the vines in the month of April. Cher
ries ripened in tho same month, and grapes
appeared in May. In 1872 the trees were
covered with leaves in january. and the
birds batched their young in February, as
in1I72; in 1885 these things were repeated,
and it is added that corn was in the ear at
Easter. There was in France neither
snow nor frost throughout the winters of
1888. 1907, 1909, 1911 and 1859; finally in
1892, even in the north of Germany, the
stoves were not lighted. and trees lowered
in February. Coming to later dates, the
winter Of 1851, when il Numbered at
Paris on the 2Sth of January. and that Of
1866, the year of the great inundati0u OF
the Seine, may be mentioned as exception

OWNING A HoME.-The strength Of the

OWNING A HoME.-The strength Of the
American Republic is the universal desire
to own house. 1t is moulding all the
people, native and foreign born, into one
homogeneous mass. The ownership Of a
house is something of which neither the
Irish peasant nor the German laborer have,
in their own country, any conception, but
it is here the goal of their hopes and de-
sires Education comes next; il is soDe-
thing the need of which is not felt until
the adornments OF home are thought Of.
This desire to own the roof under which
one sleeps is distinctiyely an American
characteristic, and seems by nature adapt
ed TO the growth which is raising Us in
importance in the scale of nations. 1t is
the link which connects the man with the
government; it adds to his interest in The
making and execution of the laws, and
identifies him with the usages and customs
Of the people. 1t is this element which
gives the people of Switzerland their unity
and power, and the lack OF it causes nihe-
tenths of the unrest in Ireland. No feel
ing is stronger than the attachments of
hone, and uo nation whose ,s-ople possess
this as a common sentiment can lose its
liberties.

ALMOST A KING.-There died In Alleg-
heny, Penn. last Friday, an old man,
who. the Pittsburg Commercial says,
had at one time, according to his own
account and the facts that can be ascer-
tanned concerning his former history,
strong aspirations to throne In Europe.
His name was John William Ileskar, and
his age sixty-seven years. He had been
in this country fourteen years, and III
Allegheny thirteen years. He came
from Saxony, where, according to ac-
counts. he was man Of great wealth
and high position. q revolutionary
movement was started, and Leskar
| placed himself at the head of it. Had the
| movement succeeded, he was to have
been placed upon the Saxon throne.
The revolution was failure, and the
throne did without Leskar. Worse than
I that mis- estate was confiscated, and he
| became an exile. He came to this coln.
try. and accepted the exciting career OF
barber in Allegheny City, A day or two
since he became Ill, and he dieLt IN such
| poverty that the authorities will haze 10
| bury him. Leskar has a brother ano q
son now in Saxony. The brother is man
| of great wealth, and the son, it is sald,
/! is attached to the court Of the present
ruler. It is stated that the influence OF
| friends could have saved Leskar from
exile, and his property from confiscatlon
but he would not permit such 1nfiucene.
| be used. Neither would he IN later
years permit his brother or his son TO do
ANYTHING in his behalf.

TIE Black HuLs.-Fuller and later
reports received here indicate that the
recent glowing accounts from the Black
Hills country are entirely unreliable,
and confirms the opinion Of Prof. Win
chel that there are no valuable metals
in the country. Col. Fred Grant, who
accompanied the expedition, under
special instructions to report upon It's
geological character, says that the rock
on which it is claimed gold was discover
ed, is of a metamorphic character, Id
which no precious minerals have ever
been found. Not over three dollars
worth was brought under his observa-
ton during the entire expedition, and 1t
is question whether this was not I'M
ported into that section. The timber is
spruce and yellow pine, and valueless
for lumber. The area Of tillable lands
is very small, there not being enough
for a dozen good-seized farms. Ihe
Sioux Commission, lately sent to ne
gotiate with the Red Cloud and Spotted
Tail bands, went, in their explorations,
to the base Of the Black Hills on the
south side, and gives substantially the
character of the country and the absence
Of minerals. The President is emphan-
| tic in his determination to carry out the
orders Of Gen. Sheridan to prevent al
invasion Of this country by intruders, sc
long as, by law and treaty, 1t is secures

FEARFUL DEMoRALIzATIoN-W have
been in this State for seven-and-twenty
years, and we have witnessed conven-
tions in this county of all parties s-Demo-
cratic, Wing, Republican, Liberty Lea
que, Temperance, etc.-and it Is
not too much to say that never was such
frigbtfull decentralization Witnessed as at
the recent convention which nominated
Samuel Rindskopf for Congress. Judge
Mallory, a reliable Democrat, who cal
led the convention to order, stated quite
emphatically that $4,000 had been e1-
pended by one Of the candidates in Sc
curing the delegates. The Judge evi-
dently meant Samuel Rindskopf. This
was large sum to expend IN coTup-
ton, but it should be born in mind that
Mr.. Rindslopf's partisans considered
the nomination equivalent to an election
and that, therefore, no further expendl-
ture of money would be required.
After such extraordinary nomination, !,
the Reform party Of Wisconsin must be,
come a stencil in the nostrils OF honest
men.

Nor until the 197th ballot did the
Democratic convention of the fifth dis
trict succeed in nominating candidate
for Congress. s. ID. Burchard OF Dodge
county Gen. E. S. Bragg, of Fond du-
Lac; and Joseph Villas, of Manitowoc,
were the principal candidates, and the
strength of the convention was not far
from equally divided between them.
Burchard generally led the others from
1 to 2 votes. having from 15 to II votes.
Finally he tired out his opponents and
carried off the nomination. There was
much feeling among the adherents OF
the several candidates, which will ez-
tend in a greater or less degree to the
party, and prevent the enthusiastic sup
port of the candidate which the Demo
cracy of that district has usually given
its nominees. Burchard has represen-
ted his country two terms in the State
Senate, and is q man of fair abilities. -
