Card from C. w. Rowland.


To the Editor Of the Cincinnati Ga
zette:
A misconceptiou of some remarks
of mine at ST. Paul, on Thursday eve
ming, seems to prevail even among
those whose good opinion l would re-
tain. In this temperance struggle
personal interest must give way to
the cause; otherwise l should rem ain
silent. During the meeting that eve
ming many papers were handed me,
among them one on which were these
words: "Have You seen Sam ~
read them, and they seemed to pro-
duce some commotion ii the audience.
In reply to the question l said {:

ghost of Nnow- Nothingism upon the
stage; it may speak to it, but must

SAYS he has been dead twenty years.
Better let him lie quietly in his grave !;
don't protraet the funeral services too
long-don't breath upon this valley of
dry bones, lest your alien breath raise
an army of living men,"
In no instance have I named any
nationality, but have tried to lift a
warning voice to those who were pro
voking an uprising of Nothing
sentiment. The struggle is one of
principles, not of nationality; but
if there be those who will blindly per-
sist in making it so, they must take
the consequences. They are not of
my choosing. The real issue in Gin
cinnati is between those who obey
law and those who break and openly
defy it. Let us have platform broad
enough to hold every man, native OF
foreign born, who seeks to obtain g
reasonable execution of the laws Of
the State. Those who do not desire
this are enemies to American institu

AnInsurance Agent Beaten.

Between Kenosha and Milwaukee, says
Wisconsin paper, an insurance agent entered 3
car, and, having issued tickets to several ofthe
passengers, aPProaehed elderly lady, who,
it afterwards appeared was deaf.
"Madam would you like to insure against
accidents2'' inquired the agent.
"I'm going to Oshkosh 10 visit my daughter,
who is married up there and has got q baby.
The agent raised his voice little.
''Would you like to insure your life against
aecidents?'
"SLe's been married two years and g half.
It's gal"
Agent still louder:
''I'm an insurance agent madam; don't you
want your life insured against accidental"

Single Men Of Genius, Beauty and
Immense Fortune.

1t is rather singular fact that so
many of the editors of this city are
living in a state of bachelordom.-
Bennett, the immensely rich editor and
proprietor of the New York Herald, is
solitary bachelor though he will
soon be forty. Reid, the editor of
the Tribune, is a solitary bachelor,
though he is somewhere about forty.
Marble, the editor of the World, is a
solitary widoWer of forty; and his
most brilliant staff writer, Hurlbut, is
a solitary bachelor, though under fifty.
Bundy, the editor of the Mail, is sol
itary bachelor, though over forty
Congdon, of the Tribune, is a solitary
widower of over fifty, and, in fact, on
the daily press alone, I could certain
ly name a score of leading men, who
are about forty and wifeless. Of the
editors named, Bennett is the wealth
lest and most athletic; Reid is the
ablest and most skilIful: Marble is the
handsomest and calmest; and Hurlbut
is the most thoroughly polished man
of the world. l must warn all young
or middle aged maidens looking for
ward to matrimonial bliss, to shun these
bachelor editors, because 1 presume
warning will send scores of these
maidens in pursuit of them, won
der that some of them do not find
wives among the intellectual ladies who
write for their papers, or try to write
for them. Such unions might be ex-
pected to provide very brainy success
ors to the present editors in the nat
ural order Gin. Commercial.

California holds the most singular hotel in
the world, It is situated between San Jose
and Santa Cruz. Imagine ten immense trees
standing a few feet apart and hollow inside;
these are hotels neat, breezy and romantic.
The largest tree is sixty five feet around, and
contains sittingroom and bureau of Bacchus,
and stingeth. All about this tree is a garden
of flowers and evergreens. The drawing room
is bower made of redwood, evergreen and
madona branches. For bed-ehambers there are
nine great hollow trees, whitewashed or pa
pered, and having doors cut to fit the shape
of holes. Literature finds place in a lean
ing stump, dubbed "the library" If it were
not for that same haunt of Baechus, it is GER
tain that the guests of this forest establish
ment would feel like nothing so much as dry
ads.

Short Anatomical Lecture.
THE LIVER.

The LIVER.
The liver is the organ that secretes
the bile, but if the bile is on your
nose it isn't so easy to secrete it. The
liver is an assimilating organ, occupy
ing the right hypochondriac and epi-
gastric regions below the diaphram.-
The upper surface is convex, and di-
vided by the suspensary ligaments of
the peritOneum. The depression of
the right lobe corresponds to the right
portion of the transverse colon and
right supra-renal capsule 1t will be
observed that we put this as simply
as possible, avoiding all obscure tech
nicalities, in order to reach the COM
monest understanding.
Many people do not know exactly
where the liver is, although they are
always complaining about it, but by
reading the above simple description
carefully over, they will know just
where to put their hand on it, as it
were.
Patrick Henry mmortalized the liver
when he reclaimed: oliver die, Survive
or perish, I'm for the declaration ~
implying that he was ready to cut the
liver out of any man who dared to op-
pose him. There are more medical
compounds for the liver than for any
other in the human body, and its re-
markable powers of endurance are IL
lustrated in its ability to withstand the
drugs that are perpetually launched
at it. 1t is observable that bad liver
is more frequently found among good
livers than among those who live but
poorly, and liver complaint is most
prevalent with people who have least
reason to complain about their liv-
ing.
Men are exceedingly prone to lay
their oflenses against health and tenn
perance at the door of their livers.-
''Come in, said Mrs. Ward, when her
Artemus, who had been indulging in
the flowing bowl, got under her win
dow and began a serenade, ''come in
you old fool; tomorrow you'll be go
ing around complaining about your
liver"
Boarding house keepers are great
sticklers for liver as form of general
diet They would have it three times
a day if the boarders would only stand
it. But not being horses they object
to eating perpetually at liver's ta-
ble
Many years ago, in city of Great
Britain, liver was put up and sold in
pools, hence the name, Liverpool.
A western editor thought Mrs. Liv-
ermore, the lecturess, looked good
enough to eat, but he didn't devour
her because he had sworn never to eat

: Last Sunday, a young man Of our

= Last Sunday, a ayoung man of our
acquaintance accompanied the lady of
his love to church. He isn't in the
habit Of attending church regularly
They took a seat near the pulpit. AT
ter the text had been given out, the
minister commenced by saying: cit
is your duty to love one another" -
The young man thought the minister
pointed directly at him and his girl
AS the minister paused, the young
man supposed he was waiting for an
answer, and he replied: "We are
loving one another just as thick as we
can. But don't see what you want
to let all these folks know it for" The
young man could not understand why
the minister frowned on him so Sc
verely, nor why his girl whispered,
"Hush up, Dick" nor why all the peo-
pie in the house that didn't litter,
laughed outright. He dosn't attend
church any more. Church folks are
so ill-mannered.

The House of Representatives has q good
chance to show what it thinks of polygamy.
Delegate Cannon of Utah, is the happy hus-
band of four wives. His seat was contested by
Mr.. Maxwell, who did not so much pretend
that he was elected as that Cannon was pol
ygamist, and, therefore, unfit to sit with Rep
resentatives in Congress. Inquiry into the
facts resulted in the opinion that Cannonis le-
gallY entitled to the seat. The House then
proposed to look into the moral conduct of
Delegate Cannon. but some of the members
(who had also friends in the SenRte) thought
it would not be pleasant to continue the in
quiry. The conclusion of the whole matter is
that Cannon gets his seat and the House viii
think about his pOlygamous connections.-IN.

and loved, and where he trusts and loves, and
where he knows the restraints are good and
