-Paralysis is said to have lately been


cured by whiskey,i in Sing Sing. 1t
was Michael MurPhey who was 10 for
twelve years, that had suffered complete
paralysis of the legs and was about to
be released, but unfortunately sympa-
thetic warden gave him 4 half pint Of
whiskey to cheer his dropping spirits,
and in a very short time Mike was on
his legs making rather lively motions
for paraletic. And now poor Mikes
term Of service is prolonged, to his
great disgust.
An incident is said to have oc-
CURED in Lockport, New York, illustrat-
ng the intelligence of that noble servant
Of man, the horse. A horse had been
shod in certain blacksmith shop; the
next day he entered the same shop unac-
companied and lame. On pulling off one
Of his shoes it was; found that nail had
been driven so as to hurt his foot The
hnrse evidently bad some idea Of the
cause of his lame ness, and who was to
blame, and proposed that the blacksmith
should do his work right.
The New York Weekly thinks that
IAN amendment to the moral constitu-
ton Of some Of the political leaders of
the State is more needed than an amend
ment to the State Constitution. A sim
liar remark would apply with equal
force to each Of the States and to the
different political parties Of the States.
The laws are good enough but may the
Lord free the people from the bad NOR
ais and corruption of some of the rules.
The grand principles announced in the
platforms Of the different parties are
sufficient to exalt' nation, as doth
righteousness, but the contemplate po-
litical carcasses ofcorrupt morals, trick .
rey, knavery, cold hearted treason to
the best interests of the State and ma
tion, that are being copstaatly hoisted
into power by the machinery of these
parties in the haad of demagogues are
enough to make hell black.
The name Of Dudley W. Adams
Master Of the National Grange P. Of H
having been used in connection with a
new enterprise known as the ''Grange
Mortgage Bank" Worthy Master Adams
writes to the Industrial Age saying that
such use of his name was entirely un-
authorized, that his time is too much
occupied for such enterprises and that
the unauthorized use of names has
raised a suspicion: in his mind Of unfair
ness in other respects. 1t is no part of
the duty of Masters or Secretaries of
the National, State or Subordinate
Oranges to recommend in any manner
any institution, or corporation, medi-
cine, machine or anything else, and
whenever Patron sees a circular bear
ing such recommend by an officer of
the Order, he had better be little
careful, for the probabilities are in every
cases that there is something wrong,
and that such use of name or names
was entirely unauthorized.
We notice that David G. Fulton,
Of Hudson, St. Croix County, editor Of
the True Republican, has been nomi-
mated for Congress, by the Reformers
of the 7th Judicial District of Wiscon-
sin. Mr.. Fulton has resided in that
comfy for twenty years. He is in the
fullest and most earnest sympathy with
the reform movement, and if the friends
Of the movement will only do their full
duty upon election day he will be elect
ed. They have got the votes if they
will only come gut. We understand
Mr.. Fulton is opposed to protective
tariff and is in favor of legislative con-
troll of railroads. These are good
enough doctrines Tor US.
