A Question Of Duty

In all the discussions and argu
ments pro and con on the question
of the imreachment OF Kellogg it
is a little singular that one phase
of the matter seems not to have
beencoasid~red at all; We refer
TO the House of Representatives
az c~onservators and guardians of
the welfare of the State viewed
In this light the subject becomes
Invested of all considerations of
policy or political and
is reduced to the narrow bounds
of simple fact of&course it is
fruitless to agitate the question
now that the power and opportn
nifty are gone, but we merely wish
to call the attention to the fact
that under Their oaths members
had no option in the matter IT, in
their opinion, the charges against
the governor warranted the pre-
fermtnt of articles of impeach
ment ; aad it is Il striking sign OF
the prevalence OF the doctrine of
expediency when We see An impo
sing array OF mercantile names
%deprecating the proposed measure
not because they think the Exc
eutive not amenable TO the charg
as, but because they fear injury
to their interests and members
Of the House voting against the
step, and explaining their votes
on the same grounds, apparently
never taking into consideration
the fact that their solemn duty
was to merely weigh the charges
and determine whether they were
sufficiently grave to warrant ex-
tre,ne measurps.If in their opinion
they were not, then we should
honor the man who rose superior
to party considerations and per.
sonSI bias, hnt we have scant res
pect for those who were unable to
view the question from the higher
plane Of duty and obligation.

"A Certain Cure for Rheu
matism.

Judging from his article in the
Wiener Medizinische Presse, DIR,
Franz Zeller is an enthusiast in
the administration of caustic am
mon,a in rheumatism. For sever
al years he had beenA sufferer
from sever muscular rlieuma
tism in the right shoulder i: he
had taken all the anti ,rheuma
tisln remedies, with but little
alleviatiOn, when he began TO
reason that in rheumatism, az III
govt, there may be a uric acid
diathesis ; he thought that liquor
ammonia, on account of it's rapid
rehabilitation, would be the rene
dy most readily absorbed and the
most prompt in action.
In almost the same moment III
which he took one drop, diluted
with water, he felt a complete re
lief from the pain, which had
lasted for ten hours ; he was now
able to move freely the arm which
an instant before. he could scarce
ly bear to have touched. The re
medy, be claims, has proved u
positive cure in all recent cases
of muscular rheumatism which
have fallen under bis Observa-
ton !; he cities numerous cases
IN which relief, as instantaneous
as his own, was experienced. He
also observed its effects III sever
al eases of acute articular rheu
matiSm. in two of which six drops
snfficed to sUbdne the pain and
swelling within a period of TWEEN
ty-four hours. In one case of chro
mic rheumatism of Il finger joint,
which had lasted for over half :,
year, the simple administration
OF the ammonia completely dis
PEELED the inflammation and pam
in the joint within two days.
He then discusses the mode o.
action OF his remedy. eff we con
slider an excessive acidity as the
cause of rheumatism, we can
scarcely claim, in the cases Iii
which on"drop will instantaneous
~ relieve the pain in recent rheu
matism, that one drop was suf1i-
Gent to counteract the effects of
the excess Of uric or according
to Fuller tactic acid.
"NOthing remains therefore but
for us to seek for tue source OF
rheumatism in a morbid nervous
activity induced by disturbances
OF nutrition, and to believe that
the ammonia acts as a nervine Iii
rcctly upon the nerves."
After thecure of one attrack
OF rheumatism, our object should
be to put the patient in such 1t
condition as to prevent their re-
%currence. This, the writer thinks,
can can be done Ivy b%uiIding up

How 10 Aid the Really Deserving

10 this matter as IL should be. Now the best
plan that has ever come under my observa-
ton, and covers The whole business, is that
new In operation in our sister city, Balti-
more. Capt Deapy's men of the Southern
police station, seeing SO much distress in
lhelr ROUNDS among the poor, concluded to
leave from their pay 81 per month each man,
the said fund thus created TO purchase pro-
and given out on the s.orefers, opiv OF NE men
on d,ay, who, when called on during his
rOunde, can see the wants and give an order
which is nlled at the station In thirty min
utes. Capt. D., seeing the orders increasing
ana the Iund decreasing, requested the Off
GERS 10 call the attention of merchants and
others TO the matter and solicit help. The
response was prompt and the goods came In
IN large and small quantities. Stopping in
baltimore few days ago. we saw where one
baker had just sent i'm 400 loaves of bread
other parties were sending in beans, pota-
toes, &c. The men OFF duty aud those on
