Eating Without an Appeti to.

Hall says: 1t is wrong to eat without an
appetite, for it shows there is no gastric
juice in the stomach, and that nature does
not need food and not needing it, there be-
ing no fluid to receive and act upon it, it re-
mains there c;nly to putrefy, the very
thought of which should be sufficient to de-
ter any man from eating without an appe-
tive tor the remainder of his life. If a
tonic is taken to whet the appetite, 1T is a
mistaken course, for its only result is to
cause one to eat more, when already an
amount has been eaten beyond what the
gastric is able to prepare. The object to be
obtained is larger supply of gastric juice,
not large supply OF food; and whatever
fails to accomplish that essential object
fails to have any efficiency toward the cure
of dyspeptic diseases. The formation of
gastric juices is directly proportioned to the
wear and ter OF the system, which they
are to be the Means of supplying, and this.
wear and tear can only take place as the
result of exercise. The efficient remedy for
dyspepsia is work-out-door work-benef-
cial and successful in direct proportion as
it is agreeable, interesting, and profitable.

plymouth Kisses.

The testimony in the great BROOKLYN trial
reveals singular proneness to giving and
receiving personal endearments among GER
tain prominent actors in the scandal. Mr..
Tilton swears that Mr. Beecher kissed him,
and that he endured it, even after he knew
that Mr.. Beecher had committed adultery
with his wife. Mrs. Moulton says that she
kissed Mr.. Beecher directly upon his con-
fession of guilt and threat of self-murder.
Mr.. Beecher is represented ON several occa-
sions as LAYING his hand caressingly upon
Mr.. Moulton's shoulder; and, flom ques-
tion put to Mrs. Moulton by Mr.. Beecher's
counsel, it would seem that an attempt will
be made to show that not only Mrs. Moul-
ton, but also Mr.. Moulton and Mr.. Tilton,
were in the habit of kissing Victoria Wood
hull On reading of these things, the pro-
fame reader is reminded of the popular
quatrain:
Il saw Esau kissing Kate,
In fact, we all three saw;
i saw Esau, he saw Kate,
And she saw saw Esau"
This sort Of universal osculation and
fondling would seem to be a usual and GUS
tomary observance in the ritual of Ply-
uoulH coiisregauofi, tnousu IL uUeS not vel
appear that anybody has kissed Henry c.
Bowen or Brother Shearman. Apart from
the alleged kissing of Mrs. Tilton by Mr..
Beecher, which is in dispute in the case, it
appears by an abundance of umauestioned
testimony that the great pastor is wont
frequently to relieve his gushing feelings
by these expressive demonstrations; and
his example, at least in this respect, would
naturally be initiated by the generality Of
his devoted flock.
Perhaps here is the secrecy of the aston
ishing popularity of Plymouth Church.
The kissing all around, inculcaied by the
pastor in practice as we'll as in precep..
must be highly gratifying to many of the
members, especially the old maids while
the younger people may learn to give. up
the sinful diversion of the round dances for
the superior bliss of pious kissing. The
pews in the church have always sold at
high prices, but very likely the universal
publicity which these peculiar facts have
now attained, may render the competition
1t the next annual vendue more produc-
tive than ever.-Ner York San.

SOME OF THE PLUMBER FOUND.

When the constable came in ON Saturday
afternoon with the prisoner, he brought
some clothing, boots and shoes, domestic,
and numerous articles that were at once
recognized by our merchants as articles they
had missed. This encouraged the old man
Driscol, and he timidly asserted that five
times that amount of goods could be found
about the place. The constable at once
gathered force and returned to the house
of the Mats. During this visit the premi-
ses were searched and another installment
OF goods, amounting in value to about $500
were secured. Yesterday morning the off
Ger and number of citizens again visited

ANOTHER HAUL.

This time large amount of clothing, a
bed room set consisting OF bureau, glass, car
pet, stand, etc, belonging to the Eldridge
House, and also several articles of wearing
apparel from the same house, were found.
George Matt and his wife some time ago
were employed at the Eldridge House, he
as night watchman and she as chamber
maid, at which time various articles of
clothing, furniture and even goods belong
ing TO commercial travellers were spirited
away and no one could account for their
disappearance. The collection of articles

of miscellaneous character. At last the
old gentleman began a vigorous remon-
STRANGE, and at once the boys began to make
life burden to him: They threatened to
whip him and his wife, and on several oc-
casions sought satisfaction by shooting
through the floor into the room occupied by
the old couple. Several times they drove
the old man off, and finally made him
leave, and would not allow him TO return
for either his wife or his household goods.
This, and the attempt to kill the old lady
by throwing large hammer at her by one
OF the boys, led to the complaint for assault
and battery.

The search warrant was procured and put
in the hands of Constable Mayhood, who
was Just starting with the warrant for the
arrest of the two Mats, on the charge Of as
sault and battery. 1t seems that the old
man Driscol and his aged wife-all there is
in the family-came to this county about
six weeks ago, and lived in the same house
with the Mats, the oldest of whom has a
wife, having been married about six or eight
months. The house is a small one-story
with basement The old man occupied
the upper apartments, while the Mats oc-
GUIDED the basement. Two or three months
ago George Matt's wife was taken sick and
went to stay with her father, one Songer,
who lives in the neighborhood. Driscol says
the actions of Mats We often such as to
excite suspicion, and when the two were left
TO "keep batch" their actions grew even
more suspicious. Night after night Driscol's
team would be taken from the stable by

BORDER THIEVES.
A Gang of these Williams Broken
Up In Southern Kansas.
They have Large Quantities OF
Plunder Slowed Away.

As the frontier of our State affords the
best of protection for thieves and robbers,
it is no wonder that as many robberies are
prevalent along the lines, but they are fast
being broken up by the officers. The latest
affair of the kind took place near Cofey-
vile, near the Labette County line. The
facts as we learn them are as follows:
Last Saturday morning, an old man
named Dnscol, living about four miles east
of town, near the LaDette county line, ap-
peared before justice of the peace in that
city, and filed complaint against
wM. AND GEO. MATT,
charging them with assault and battery.
After making the complaint, he stepped in
to the store of Wells Bros, and was in
formed by the proprietors that one Of the
Matt boys had the day before been caught
in the act of tapping the till and later in
the evening had succeeded in stealing a
coat, but was caught after getting out the
door. Mr. Wells further remarked that
they had recently missed several articles
from the store, and that he proposed here
after to keep an eye peeled for such charac-
tiers. At this the old man frightened up,
and his eyes gave evidence Of secret on
his mind, which troubled its possessor fer
the want of courage to reveal it. Driscol
at once advised him to get out search
warrant and search the premises OF the
Matt boys, and would find
