ANOTHER INVESTIGATION.

The excessive mortality among our col
ored citizens has called forth several meet
ings of the preachers of that race, and res
olutions were passed deprecating the extern
sive deaths among them; and they further
resolved that the matter be investigated,
and to that end committees have been ap-
pointed to wait upon the Board Of Health,
the result of which l have not learned, but
the prospects are that the next Congress
will SO amend the Civil Rights bill as to
grant them Physical Mortalty.''

THE SPEAKERSuIP.

The subject of the Speakership of the
next Congress is very freely discussed, and
everything seems to look to the selection of
Fernando Wood. His courtesy, dignity.
and thorough knowledge of public affairs,
the fact that he is the Oldest Democrat
member of the new Congress, and that he
better represents the average Democrat
than any other man, East or West, is
thought to give him by far the greatest
majority at the start.

LETTER FROM WASHINGTON.
WASHINGTON. ID. c.. March % 1877.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., March 90, 1915.
DEAR WHIG:-If the month of March is
going to resolve itself into chronic state
of disagreeableness, / think it would be
wise to petition the next Congress to legs-
late it out of existence. Only, if we were
to wipe out March, our national law makers
might never know when to go home, in
which case we would have our Congress
with us always-like the roor-a sort of
perennial spring of wisdom and virtue. OF
two evils we are told to choose the least
so, perhaps, it may be as well to let old
Boreas do the blowing himself.
Being anxious for an item of interest, l
have been engaged in a mathematical cal
culation ever since the adjournment of Con-
gress. | want to find ont, if possible
without referring the matter to the Teach
ers' Institute or our Cousin jim Just
how many there are who want to be clerk
or bottle holder of some kind in the next
Congress. l have figured it down-and
figures wont lie, even if | might be inclined
TOTO about two thousand, with several
hundred still to hear from,-wlling to sac
riice themselves for the public good. The
town is full of long tried servants, and
Democratic Grip Van Wrinkles" who are
choking around " for their share of the
"loaves and fishes" to be distributed.

EASTER "OPENINGs.N

Not queer title, because more than half
the gay world do not make note of Easter
day, as the one on which the "stone was
rolled from the sepulchre, but as the day
on which, the weather permitting, they rise
from the gloom and darkness of their Len
ten garments and come forth in all the
radiance and glory of French robes and
dainty Partisan CONNECTIONS called bonnets.
There are some ladies who could not pray
with devotion if they thought that another
was attired in the latest made, while they
wore articles at least six weeks old. In
deed, no man can half comprehend the per
feet satisfaction experienced by a woman
of the world when she knows that from the
exquisite "Nivot" browning, with all its
beauty, down through the various details
of her toilet, and the quaint parasol in her
daintily- gloved hand, everything is of the
best, the newest and latest ''style." To
these, Easter with its beautiful memories,
would be as naught were it not preceded by
Openings" To them and to church the
present week seems to be specially devoted.
ST. PATRICK's DAY.
St. Patrick had rather a blustery day for
| his ovation. The streets were cleaned and
garnished, the sky as blue as forget me-
not, and the tenement houses emptied
themselves into our avenues. The men
wore hats and coats of their ancestors, and
the President reviewed them. After that
you can fancy the rest.

To ALL, particularly invalids, spring is trying
season. Indications Of sickness should at once be
attended to. Fatal diseases may be caused by al
lowing the bowels to become corstipated, and the
system to remain in disordered condition until
the disorder has time to develop itself An ounce
of preventive is worth apound Of cure, Is an old
and truthful saying. Therefore, we advise all who
troubled with the complaints now very prevalent
headache, indigestion, disordered liver, want OF
Appetite nausea, or feverish skim to take, without
delay, Schenck's Mandrake Pills. We know Of no
remedy harmless and decisive in It's action. 1t at
strikes at the root Of the disease and produces
healthy tone to the system. People never need
suffer from any disease arising from disordered
condition of the liver II they would take this excel
lent medicine when they feel the first indications
OF the malady. Families leaving home for the
summer months should take three or four boxes o.
these pills with them. They have an almost in
stsntaneous effect. They will relieve the patient o.
headache in one or two hours, and will rapid!
cleanse the liver of surrounding bile, and will eec
tually prevent bilious attack. They are sold b!
