About Retaining boards

The talk about the returning boards OF
several southern states recalls the IA { that
Their legality or coIStirutiouality was
brought into question Ia the Forty Jecoui
Congress, In the contested election case of
GiddingJ against CLARKE. Texas, at that
time was provided with the luxury OF a re-
turning board, !" which had thro ~n out sew
eral counties, and declare 1 Clarke, repuoii-
can, elected. Giddings, lie mocrar, Contested
TIE seat Of Clarke, aud employed as
his counsel Judge George w. Psschai,
OF this city. Judge Pascnal, 10 bis ar
gument before the Committee On Etec-
uoLs. took the position that the "rssIratrg
board" OF Texas was uncoastitut,onal, SO
Tar as Its action in throwing out votes cast
Tor members OF Congress was concerned,
because under the Constr tuition each bouse
IL the judge OF the quaIidc At Gus, electi oa
returns, &C, OF its own mem oers, and has q
IiSht 10 go back OF q returning board and
skcertsin for itself how many votes were
actually cast The House, which, at that
time, was largely republican, sesued to
concur la this view, and, uDseatiDg Clark 3,
republican. seated Gtdcings, democrat. Ii
II believed by many that while thIs aryu-
ment might hold goot IN the cases OF mem
bers OF Congress, IL would not oe aoplic able
IN the case OF Presidential electors. s,ncs the
power OF electipg tnern is vested wholly in
he states themselves, aud the Constitution
gives Congress no reviso-y power.

Should Governor Hayes bs declared electe
Pres1dert be Will have resolved the electoral
vote by 81 out VI IS states, and, Ia one sense,
although Governor Tildel undoubtedly re-
eeived larger popular majority, would not
be a"minority President" since ne would
have tbs votes OF four more states than Gov
srnor illden. As Is vel known, the cleo.
rorsl system was adopted TO recognize Q
eertA.n principle Of ''staie rights" As q
rue the democrats have always opposed its
aoorsnineEt for this reason Great stress In
now laid on the fact that Governor Tiiden
receives large popular majority. This In
the fault OF the electoral system itself. and
nothing could better show - uafairnesa.

MANY who are suffering from the effects Of the
warm weather and are debilitated, are advised
by physicians to take moderate amounts of whis-
ky two or three times during the day. In little
while those who adopt this advice frequently in
crease the number of drinks and in time be-
come confirmed inebriates A beverage which
will not create thirst for intoxicating liquors. and
which is intended especially for the benefit of
debilitated persons, whether at home or abroad,
is Dr.. Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic. Containing the
juices of many medicinal herbs, this preparation
does not create an appetite for the Intoxicating
cup. The nourishing and the life-supporting
properties of many valuable natural productions
contained in it and well known to medical men
have most strengthening influence. A single
bottle of the Tonic will demonstrate its valuable
qualities. For debility arising from sickness,
over exertion or from any cause whatever, a
wine-glassful of Sea Weed Tonic taken after
meals will strength hen the stomach and create an
appetite for wholesome food To all who are
about leaving their homes, we desire to say that
the excellent effects of DR.. Schencks seasonable
remedies, Sea Weed Tonic, and Mandrake Pills.
are particularly evident when taken by those
who are injuriousIy affected bya change of water
and diet. No person should leave home without
taking supply of these safeguards along. For
sale by all Druggists. $50 ~

Ida Lewis at Home.

Leaving the dock we started directly
for the fort, passing through fleets of
yachts and coasting vessels, and soon
came upon a clump of light-colored
rocks that push up abruptly from the
water. The largest rock is surm ounted
by a lighthouse at one end, which is
ordinary enough i'll appearance to be
passed without notice, but which at
tracted attention when we were told
that it was the home Of Ida Lewis, the
Grace Darling Of America. How
many lives she has saved I do not dare
to say, for am not good at figures; but
of late little has been heard of her.
Possibly those persons who careless1y
sail boats hereabouts have become more
guarded, or if they have allowed them
selves to be upset it has been beyond
the range of her vision. The boatman
told us that at one time it was custom.
airy for sailing parties to pay the heroine
of the Lime Rocks visit, and from
others I have learned that the presents
taken to her were curious indeed, and
quite unsuited to one in her position.
But Ida, by no means unbalanced by
public applause, continues to ply her
oars to and from the shore in quiet,
unobtrusive way; her eye as watchful
now as in the past for whatever is going
on in the harbor. Cor. Evening Post.

The Mystery Of Perfume.

No one has yet been able to analyze
or demonstrate the essential action of
perfume. Gas can be weighed, but no
scents. The smallest known creatures
the very monads of life-can be
caught by microscope lens and made
to deliver mp the secrets of their organ
ization; but what is it that emanates
from the pouch of the musk-deer that
fills whole space for years and years
withits penetrating odor-an odor that
an illimitab1e number of extraneous
substances can carry on without dimin-
ishing either its size or weight -and
what is it that the warm SUNNI er air
brings to us from the flowers, no man
has yet been able to determine. So fine,
SO subtle, so imponderable, it has elud-
ed both our most delicate weights and
measures and our strongest lenses. If
we came TO the essence of each odor,
we should have made an enormous
stride forward both in hygiene and in
chemistry, and none. would profit more
than the medical profession if it could
be as conclus1vely demonstrated that
such an odor proceeded from such and
such cause, as we, already know of
sulphur, sulphurate hydrogen ammo
MIA, and the like.

Hunting for an Inheritance.

A case lately decided by a French
court of appeal reveals curious story
of a search for an Inheritance. NJ.
Lantoine, a master mason, died at Ar
ras in July, 1872, leaving the bulk of
his fortune to Mile. Laura Lantoine, a
near relative His books showed that
the estate must be worth over 100000
francs, but the strong box was empty
and there was no bank account. Then
there was dismay; but Mile. Lantoine
and her friends soon learned that dur
ing the German. invasion the testator
had concealed his wealth, and upon
this hint the house was searched from
top to bottom, but in vain. Walls were
torn down, floors torn up, and the place
was torn to pieces generally, but didn't
pan out sou. In 1874 M. Gonse learn
ed that a. certain man had helped NJ
Lantoine to stow away his property in
1870 This man was sought for at
once, but had died before M Gonse got
upon his track. Shortly after NJ Gonse
this man, might be able to give him
some valuable information, and she
was sought out. By promising her a
nice little bit of land" with two other
little bits for her sons, and some other
favors, NJ. Gonse obtained information
which led to the finding, deep under
the cellar of the late NJ. Lantoine's
house, a sum amounting to 10000
francs. The widow Laurent, however,
heard nothing more Of the favors
promised, and a. suit at law was entered,
