The Richmond State Journal (Repubcan)
says that the forty-third Congress was not the
wlsest, ablest, or most patriotic body that ever
sat in Washington 1t had many grievous faults
and made numerous mistakes. 1t bad its sins
of omission and commission, and it did not al,
ways satisfy public sentiment or have the pub
lie confidence. 1t showed, remarks the Phila-
delphia Press, remarkable incapacity for the
management of the finances, an incapacity
which sometimes sunk to the depth of imbe-
cility. And after tinkering at the subject for
two sessions it leaves it in an unsatisfactory and
almost unintelliglble condition.

occasion. The mass being ended, the
priest nOiselesSly glided to the sacristy,
and entering it, without Withdrawing the
curtain or even shaking it by his passage,
The spectator hesitated some time, be-
tween respect and curiosity, but finally
stole to the doorway and peeped into the
sacerdOtal precinct. At that moment the
priest rose from his knees, with coun-
tenance full Of unearthly joy, and turned
toward him. The Siennese would have
drawn back, but when the other in a low,
sweet tone bade him enter, he tremblingly
Obeyed.
"My SON." said the priest, "thou art
anxious TO know why celebrate this ser
vice alone and at this unusual hour.
Know, then, that | am spirit Just liber-
ated from purgatOry, and by thy means.
When died | had one grieyOus sin on my
soul; and that was that had neglected a
mass for the repose Of one dead; neglected
it, too, that might pass the time in
worldly mirth. So Christ condemned me
to remain in suffering until could re-
pcnt in this place, with some faithful
Christian to render from his heart the
just responses. But until this time no
one came; and thus labored in vain for
many years. But now, thanks to thee,
and thanks above all to our merCiiul
Lord, Ihave done my work, and am free
to ascend to paradise. The blessing Of a
purified soul, and the blessing of God be
with theel Amen"
So sSying he vanished, leaving his list
enCr w0nder-struck, trembling, but, as be-
came man Of his piety, exceedingly joy
ful at the good which he had been the
means of accomplishing lie retired to
his bench, and, falling calmly asleep, re-
manned in a gentle slumber until the sac.
ristan discovered him in the morning.

Another Sensation at harness

from the Enterprise OF ycStcrlnyO
The town was all Ngog Tuesday morn
ing with the report that during the pre-.
yious night two women, the wives OF Da.
vid IIosman and John CulbcrtsOn, had left
their homes and fled to parts unknown.
Though the news was startling, 1t was not
surprising to those who knew the parties.
An Enterprise reporter soon saw MIR. John
Culbcrtson, and from him learned the few
particulars that are known. Mrs. Gull
bcrtson left her home Tuesday evening,
saying that she was going to see Mrs.
Ilosnan, whom she reported to be sick,
and TINT she would come back II her friend
got better; II not, that she would stay all

John, like Jacob Of old, had dream, and
thought that he saw, In his minds eye,
his wife enjoying the company Of n not
very reputable individual Of this place.
lie was so impressed with this vision that
he got up, loaded his revolver, and pre-
pafed himself for bloody work. Going To

John Cndcavored TO get confirmation Of
his vision, but all was silent. Not sound
was heard, though lie got under the house
md listened eagerly. Believing that his
domestic peace was for the time not dis.
tnrbed, he betoOk himself to his home and
slept the sleep Of innocence Till rosy morn
aroused him from his slumbef.
Shortly after daylight Mr.. Culbertson
was greeted with visit from the family
Of little ones, four in number, who came
with the news that their mother had de.
serted them. An investigation revealed
the fact that Mira. CulberLson had taken
her personal attire 10 lIosman's during
the day, and that tho two birds had flown

Perhaps few simple hints may serve
to aid those who are in search oil that in.
estimablc boon, health.
Those who would have perfect digestion
should not drink anything ut meals,
Drinking should always be done before,
after, or between meals.
Milk is especially perniciOus in all Of
those complicated and obscure cases Of
indigestion, to which the phrase "nervOus
debility" is usually applied
One Of the great and increasing evils Of
imperfect masticatiOn Is dCcaying teeth.
1t is a law Of vital organisms that every
structure or post must do its own work
or die.
Corscts are the degcnerators Of one sex
as much as tobacco and liquor are the
enemies OF the other.
Ladies' suffering from nervous debility
in summer should beware ofOver exercis-
ing. The fault with too many invalids Is
that they overdo when trying to recruit,
and thus seriously retarl their improve
mcnt.
Women hcalthfully aud happily en-.
ployed are not usually in i'll health. Han.
nah More wrote eleven books after the

The influence OF Imagination on the

many fashionable ladies shade their faces.
The most prevalent error in private
houses is insufficient ventilation Of bed.
rooms. Young children and infants,
though born with fair organizations, arc
often rendered puny and sCrofulous by
sleeping in unvCntilated rooms.
The error Of regarding dyspepsia as u
local disease instead Of n constitutional
infrmity, leads to the mischievous prac-
tice of local medication. Dyspepsia Is
but n name for universal physical deior-
nation.
Water drinking between meals should
be according to thirst. 1t IL n mistake to
load n weak stomach with cold water,
on the theory that 1t is tonic. AS a
hnbit it's well to take tumbler, or part
Of one, Of pure soft water, after dressing
in the morning.
The temperature Of baths should always
be regulated by the temperature Of the
patient.
It is said by those who have taken pains
to inform themselves on the subject that
there is no country, civilized or savage,
where bad teeth are Ogenernlly the rule,
and good ones so rare an exception, as the
United States.

Horrible Accident.

Yesterday forenoon our citizens were
shocked by one Of the most distressing
events it has ever been our duty to record.
At half-past eleven O'Clock an explosion,
like that of a steam boiler q long way off,
was heard from the drug establishment of
Messrs. Bogel Il DuriDgier. on Milan. about
midway between Market and Spring streets.
Persons in the adjoining stores ran in and
soon discovered Mr.. DuriDger lying upon
the ground just in the rear of the store
frightfully mangled-the effect of an explo-
sion of the soda tank, which was severed
into two pieces The spectacle was pitia
Bile one indeed. The bone of the right thigh
was broken in two places, and the flesh
from knee to hip, was LITERAL torn to pieces,
displaying a most ghaetly wound. The
right arm was broken in three places, the
bone protruding and The flesh badly torn.
Very soon several ply sicians hurried to the
spot and proceeded to afford what of relief
there was in their power. Meantime large
cODcOnrse Of sympathizing friends had
gathered in the store and on the banquette.
The unfortunate gentleman was perfectly
conscious and displayed remarkable nerve
The wounded arm only seemed to give him

red the gauge only indicated 100. His
theory is that some obstruction had pre-.
vented the proper action of the gauge, and |
that really the pressure at the time must |
have been over 200.
Upon consultation the physicians in at. |
tendance deemed it advisable to await re- |
suits until today, when if reaction shall |
have taken place, amputatiOn may be
decided upon. Mr.. Duringer is a man of |
tine physique, and there is remote pos.
sibility thai he may survive, hut our own
opinion is that he will not We are at all
times reluctant to ask ply sician his opinion
IN such cases, but we are satisfied that thew
entertain scarcely hopo Of his recovery.
Up to ten O'Clock last light he was perfect
ly conscious.
In conclusion we will briefly state that
Mr.. Duringer Is justly regarded as one of
our very best and most useful citizens, and
universally esteemed by all who know him
The lamentable catastrophe has cast gloom
over the entire community
Since the above was i'll type we have been
informed that the physicians entertain no
hopes OF recovery. and it may be that the
sufferer will be no more when this reaches
