 The Lost Boy.

Every now and them there comes to the surface a reference to this almost forgotten misery. It is generally in the | form of some new and intellectual effort at rescue, epdipg, as everything thus far be very long before tie kidnapped Ger mantown boy will pass putlof thought, says an exchange. The kidnapped boy is or may be alive, and, though every hour of hissdfeary applentieeship and association with crime is calculated to blur memory and make bis testimony of less value, still he may remember and can testify. The poet asks:

The manifestation of this undiminished sohcitude, this willingness to do any thing, to sacrifice anything to this end, is one of the most creditable and inter estineg incidents of the case. The matter hasreoently assumed'a new phase which, however, we fear, promises little result.

 Poisoned to Death.

healthy liver secretes each day about two and arhalf pounds of bile, which contains a great 3p Sunt of waste material taken from the blood.s When tho liver becomes torpid or con gested, it fails to eliminate this vast amount of noxious substance, which, therefore, remains to polson the blood, and be conveyed to every part of the system. What must be the condi- tion of the blood when it is receiving and retaining each day two and a-half pounds of poison? Nature tries to work off this poison through other channels and organs-the kid neys, lungs, skin, etc. but these organs be- come overtaxed in performing this labor, in addition to their natural functions, and cannot long wahsfaIid the pressure but become vari- ously sdiseased. = < EsG.A .tt As t

The New State.

The new State of Colorado, which is N the, twenty-f fifth in order of admission to
 union with the original thirteen, has an
 area of 104, 500 square miles. It is in-
 ferior in size thereforeonly to the States
 of Texas and California. In 1870, when
 the Federal census was taken, its popu- lation was 39, 864. The advocates of the
 bill admitting Colorado to the Union es- timated it's present population at 150,- 900. This is undoubtedly an over esti-
 mate. The total vote in the Territory
 in 1870 was II, ,508, and in 1874 it was Is, 552, an increase of less than fifty per ' cent. At the same ratio the population { must now be about sixty thousand.
 Denver is the capital and chief city, with a population of about six thousand. The Territory was organized in 1851 from parts of Kansas, Nebraska, New, Mexico and. Utah. Politically it was controlled by the Republican party until last year! when the Democrats succeeded in elect ing their candidate for Delegate to Con- gress by 2, 163 majority The lower House of the Territorial Legislature has a Republican majority of two but the council is tied. By the provisions of the bill which has just been signed by the President, the people will meet next summer to elect delegates to. a conyen- tion to form State constitution. The election to. ratify or reject the constitu. tion will not take place until July, 1876. State officers and members of the State !

The Result of a Strike.

A very sad affair occurred at Waus- kuck, R. l., whereby the family of James Gibson were thrown into deep affliction.
 The family consists of Mir. Gibson, his wife, and five children. The father and three children were weavers in the mill , and up to the time of the late strike were earning Q good income. The family were living comfortably, and laying up @ portion of their earnings fora rainy day. Mr. Gibson, however, took sides |. with the strikers, and the family were thrown out of work, and their little say ings were soon dissipated. Six weeks of idleness reduced them to the verge of starvation, and the mother became well-nigh distracted at the sight of he1 1 five little ones suffering for bread. The | eldest child, Q lad about seventeen, left home and procured work at Pascoag, and the father and one of the other chil- ] dren returned to their work in the mill I at the reduced wages. But prosperity I did net return to this once happy home. 1 The. little flock was broken, and the mothers thoughts wandered after hel Iyabsent son, and she longed to have him with her again. Her mind became un | balanced with her trials, and about mid
 rieht<she left her bed, passed into al .adioining room, and attempted to .enG her. existence by cutting, her throat witt "a razor. She was gone but moment when she returned to the bed, and hel l horror stricken husband saw what she

I was called out OF my regiment of
twenty-four years to command. I
was placed ut the head of the for
lorn hope and ordered to storm
the enemy's works. A breach was
made, and through that breach the
next year the whole Democratic
party rushed ind made the enemy
surrender their guns. That shows
the power of hope. Well, rs soon
as we turned these fellows out at
the last fall election, they said it
would do-trust to the little hole in
the ballot box Here were sixty or
seventy men who had been out
lawed and told to scamper, but
they had three months of power
yet. There were three ways to use
it. One was to detect and punish
the rogues who extended from one
end of the country to the other;
another was to economic in expen-
ditures, and the other to reduce
taxes. This would have soothed
the rage against their bad conduct.
Instead of that, they increased ex-
penses and taxes, let public debt
go up instead of down, and went
to work to hamper the ballot box.
They began by applying the law to
the whole of the United States, but
they reduced it to four States. I
cannot go further into details on
oil their measures. But you will
hear it said by the late Republicans
that they are not third-term men,
and SO Congress thought when it
met; but what did Congress think
when it adjourned? 1t is sufficient
to say that thirtv-three Senators,
after Grants conduct in Louisiana
matters had been condemned over
and over by Congress, solemnly
declared Grant had done q good
thing in using the bayonet. They
told Grant, by their endorsement,
TO do the thing over again as often
