Nervousness and Nervines,
From Casselrs Magazine,


Nervousness Is one of the prices we
have TO pay for civilization; the nervous
savage is being unheard of. For this
disorder, which is partly of mental and
and partly OF a bodily nature, relief is
sought In various ways, and among
these we may place the employment OF
narcotics. The temporary relief afford
ed by these drugs is very apt to lead
those who suffer from nervous sensa.
tions to put too much trust in and resort
too frequently to them. In the long run
they prove most destructive to health.
Their use has OF late become SO frequent
as to threaten society with a serious
evil. 1t has been boldly contended that
chloral is to be found in the work. boxes s
and baskets Of nearly every lady in the
west end of the metropolis, "to calm her
nerves." No doubt this is an eXaggera-
tion, but it is fact that in New York
chloral punch had become an Institution
scarcely year after the Introduction of
chloral into medical practice, and now
it turns out that Germany-ssober,
orderly, paternally-ruled Germany
has SUCH thing as morpnia disease
spreading among its population. The
symptoms are NOT unlike those of opium
eating. Experience suggests that
persons suffering from this disease
should at once be deprived of the drug.
Their willfulness ami liability to re-
lapse, however, are so great tnat it is
said that only about twenty-five per
cent. have been seen torecoyer in large
series OF cases.

One of the anomalies of the Centen-
NAL year is the establishment OF " mo-
narchical organ in Chicago, known as
The 1mperialist. 1t takes the ground
that universal suffrage in this country
has degenerated into unbridled license,
and that the panacea tor the evils OF the
time is a "stern, simple and stable CEN
tralized government" The candidate
for Imperial honors is named. 1t is
William Washington, of Nashville,
the family; and Charles Francis Adams,
Fitzhugh Lee and Colonel Patterson
Bonaparte are mentioned as fit persons
to srally around him as the chiefs Of
a hereditary aristocracy. Emperor
William Washington has this nice lit
tie send.otf: "He has spent many years
in Europe, where his ilIustrious char
acter and qualifications have made him

THE dispatch received on Saturday,
claiming to be 'oaicial," from the New
York State Committee, saying that
"Governor Seymour accepts the nomin-
ation," seems to have been unau.
thorized by that gentleman. For
On the I'd, one day later, dispatch
from Governor Seymour himself
to Daua, of the N. Y. San, an.
nounces that he "shall not accept" We
presume that this is the fnality on that
question.
Now, what is next to be done? Gov
Seymour can not be blamed, because
his positive deelinature was in the hands
of committee before and during the
session of the Convention. For the
State Committee to make nomination
under these circumstances, would have
an unwholesome look, and would be apt
to rouse rebellion in the ranks. We
see no way but to reassemble the dele
gates in another Convention; and this
will probably be done. Then eve shall
see what we shall see."

Gold-hunters who still dream of find
ing the treasure OF Capt. Kidd should
read the story that comes from Indiana
and be encouraged. In the little town
of Eminence, about twenty-five miles
southwest OF indianapolis, two Indians
last Wednesday evening called at a
farmers house IN the early evening and
asked the way to certain tree. Proper
directions were given and the Indians
departed. Never having seen his
callers before, the honest farmer was
curious to know their object. and went
to the tree by short road and hid him
self in the bushes near by. Soon the In.
dians came, lantern in hand. They dug
hole in the ground on one side of the
tree-they seemed to know the very
place to dig-and to the blank amaze
ment of the farmer found a copper chest
two leet square, opened it by the light OF
the lantern, and took out several bags of
gold which they at once poured into a
strong sack provided for the purpose.
Astounded at the sight farmer Parker
jumped from his hiding place toward the
men, but in an instant the light went
out, all was darkness, and the Indians
disappeared through the bushes. Mr..
Parker estimates that $40, 900 were found
in the chest and tbs believed the treas
ure was secreted there many years ago
by some ancestor OF the Indians in his
flight before an enemy,

b This is no quack nostrum, but the
prescription of regular and successful
city physician Of extensive practice and
reputation; the prescription has been
used for some years in our own families
with inYariable success.
During the late war it was given to
many of our friends and volunteers in
the army, who were suffering from Diar
rhea, caused by change of water, un
healthy and improperly cooked food
and in every case it was used with the
best results.
1t is scientific prescription prepared
with the greatest care, and we recon
mend it with the utmost confidence as the
best remedy, known for the diseases
mentioned.
= Every family should have a bottle OF
this Cordial ready for immediate use. A
single dose Of only few drops in the
early stage OF these diseases will often
check and cure the disorder.
Travellers, who are subject to so many
changes of water and diet, will find thi

fore "honest money" no matter what
the Nation may say to the contrary.
Whether it be worse or better "than
Government papeG" is not matter for
consideration. The amount or quantity
of coin payable is not to be fixed, nor
varied, by any consideration of the pur-
chasing power it may happen to possess
at any given time. How then eau the
Nation say that because this power may
vary, or ''if either of them (silver and
2old) loses this power, calling it conn
does not make it honest moneyw II it
be not honest money, its delivery can
not be an honest payment. Then how,
or in what, are our bonds to be honestly
paid? The doctrine advanced by the
Nation is simply absurd; and, if pro-
pounded by any paper ofless pretension,
would be laughed to scorn. And yet the
NattoN'S assumption of superior wisdom
can not. conceal the utter absurdity of
its doctrine.
And yet, as though counting notoriety
lor thus wearing the "cap and bellsY
commonly awarded to the impersouation
Of folly, the Nation, in the very next SEN
tence, goes further, and even outdoes
itself in this role For. speaking of this
hxedness of coin, it says:
"SilYer has lost it,; and to put it in
circulation, therefore, is to furnish
knaVes with an instrument Of knaVery,
ana not to furnish civilized men with an
instrument OF exchange. 70 20 back to
IL when 1T is low because it enables you
70 Pay debt You contracted when it
was nigh, is to be guilty of knavery, no
matter what name you give it,"
There we have ii. TO pay a coin debt
in coin 'is to be guilty of knavery, no
matter what name you give itp' So says
the Nation. 1t says silver has lost this
quality of tixedness as to value, and is
therefore dishonest money. We deny
The truth of that statement. Silver has
not lost its purchasing power, and
therefore has not lost in value. To go
back to silver for payment of a coin debt
when it is lower than when the debt
was contracted, is just as correct and
honest as it would be to resort to gold
for payment in case its market value
were lower than when the debt was
contracted. And even this may be. 1t
has SO happened heretofore, and may
happen again.
And when the debt is PAYABLE in
"coin" the debtor party has the ac-
knowledged right to pay in such coin as
he please, provided only the coin offered
be legal tender at the time the debt
was contracted. Over its tineness and
weight Government has control; they
must not be diminished. But with the
changes in the market value of such
coin, as between the time of contract
and the time of payment, Government
has nothing to do; therefore such
changes can not enter into consideration
in the payment of the debt. And no
man of sense will regard this as
"knavery."

The royal line of succession to the
Turkish throne seems to be in bad way.
The late Sultan, ABDUL AzIz, was in.
sane, dethroned, and assassinated. The
still later Sultan MURAD V, now also
deposed, but not yet slain, was also in
sane. The present incumbent, Prince
HAMID, just raised to the throne, has
long been considered of unsound mind.
His brother, now the next in succession
after him, is also insane; and all the 9TH
er members of his family, as well as
Prince UssEDDIN, son Of the late Sultan,
are Of scrofulous taint and consump-
tives. So upon the whole they must be
considered bad lot.

The good weather of the present
week has worked wonders for the
farmers of this State. In Southern
Iowa wheat-sowing is about done.
In this section it is nearly all in oat
sowing is wen along, and many farm
ers are plowing for corn. If fair
weather continues, this part of the
State will not be far behind-hand in
complaining. The 10th of May is
early enough for that, and large
portion of the south half of the State
will be half planted by that time.
There is time enough yet for Iowa to
grow this year one of the best crops
of all kinds of grain that the State
has ever produced. The croakers
will have to 60 out of competition

The time is approaching and can

women who commit a crime. If
women who err are to receive the
cold shoulder of their sisters, then
let men receive the same treatment
in society. We do not say that it is
right in either case to treat the erring
as criminals and past hope, but we do
say that if. it is just to treat one OF

but justice that the other should re-
