Like the manly patriotic man that he
is, Gov. Hayes wishes it distinctly un-
derstood that he does not desire to influ-
ence the action of Congress one way or
the other in the matter of the electoral
bill, or any other matter relating to
the presidential election. The whole
thing Is in the hands of Congress-" he
says, "and l shall be content with its
action" Gov. Hayes evidently has lit
tie sympathy with the one-man theory
of deciding disputed presidential cleo
ton.

COMPTROLLER KNOX ON THE
REPEAL OF BANK TAXES.

The Government is receiving reve-
nue. from the banks which is more than
equal to all taxes paid by them before
the war; while the States are also in
creasing the burdens which previously
were as great as could be born. With
in the past two years seventy-one banks,
and since the organization eff the system
two hundred and seven banks, have
gone into voluntary liquidation, chiefly
on account of excessive taxation, while
during the last year fewer banks have
been organized than in any previous
wear since 1869; and unless some favor
able legislation is obtained, very con-
siderable number of banks will retire
from the system, to engage in private
banking. In previous reports the Com
ptroller has called the attention of Con-
gress in the fact that the amount of tax
to which the national banks are subject
(the average rate, including State and
national, being about three and one-halt
per centum per annum) is much greater
than that imposed on any other capital
in the country. The reason for this
will be apparent when it is remembered
that the data for the assessment anC
taxation of national banks can Away:
be obtained from their published state
ments, while the amount of the capita
of others corporations, private firms, anC
individuals cannot be as accurately de
termined. The tax on bank deposit
was essentially war tax. and sucl
impositions having been long since re
moved from every other similar interes
the Comptroller is fully of the opiniO
that justic to all parties requires its re
moval from this one also. The recon

The Democratic Committees are Wig
orously at work on the Florida and Lou
isiana election returns, and have lately
succeeded in getting witnesses whose tes-
timony is very damaging to the Return
ing Boards and the Republicans in these
states. The Republicans deny the truth
Of these statements and promise to show
their falsity as soon as they can have
time to produce their witnesses. Things
have been sadly mixed, and there can
be little doubt that the managers of the
last campaign, on both sides, resorted to
unfair means to carry the election.

The other day it was reported that in
one of our villages a man had murdered
his wife while drunk. AS the rnmor
went abroad, men were seen standing
in groups in every part of the town,
talking over the terrible tragedy which
was supposed to have occurred. 1t was
afterwards found that though they both
we're drunk for several days, yet the
woman had died from inflammation eau
sed by drink, instead of from injuries
inflicted by her brutal husband. This
new version simplifed the matter, and
made it all right. AS long as the MUIR
der had been committed in an orthodox
and legitimate manner, according to law
and license, directly by the rumsellers
the men dismissed their wonderment
and went to their business as if nothing

DOES GoD ANSWER PRAYER ?-The
I'LL. Chris. Weekly says the facts in this
first case come to us from such q source
that we unhesitatingly vouch for the
authenticity of the narrative:
"My father, minister of the gospel,
was Frustrated by sickness. A large
family of little ones was dependent upon
him for support. Funds ran low. One
evening my mother remarked that she
had broken the last dollar. My father
lay awake most of the night, praying to
his God for help in this emergency.
That same night man in parish not
many miles distant was much impressed
by dream. He dreamed that a minis
ter who preached in his church not long
before, was sick and in want. He knew
neither his name nor his place of resi-
dence. He arose at the first dawn of
day and going to his own pastor enquir-
ed the name and address of the stranger
who had recently preached for them.
These obtained, he mounted his horse,
and knocked at our door just as my
mother drew up the window-shades
She answered the knock. when. without
word, stranger placed an envelope
in her hand and Immediately rode away
The envelope contained ten-dollar bill
which we all believed was the Lord:
answer to our fathers prayer. After
wards these facts were disclosed by thu
pastor of him whom the Lord chose tt
dispense his bounty

A Reverend Rascal.

The Rev. Charles Steinbach, of Chi
cago, engaged Margaret Murphy "a maid
en- of nearly forty, as housekeeper. He
told her that his wife was dead and gone
and he wanted a good woman among his
children. Soon he beat and abused his
children and often locked her up with
them to starve. At length she resolved
to save one of the children--a twelve
year-old girl-from his abuse. She left
the house with the girl, took some of his
things and pawned them for needful
money, and put the child for safe keep
ing in the Home of the Friendless. He
had her arrested for larceny. The papers
spoke of the Steinback trouble. Anoth-
er woman saw the case in the newspa-
pers, went to the Jail to see Miss Muir
ply, and announced herself as Stein
bach's lawful wife, deserted by him, and
the mother of his children. Then the
two women became fast friends to work
out scheme of vengeance on Steinbach.
But he cannot be found.

esy- At Dartmouth Park, England, a boy
three years of age was given an old wooden
pipe by his father, with which to blow
soap bubbles. The father washed out the
pipe before letting the child have it. After
using it the boy was taken ill, and three
days later he died, his death, according to
the medical evidence, being undoubtedly
caused by the nicotine contained in the old
pipe, which he had sucked while blowing
the soap bubbles.

The following statement of bit of
experience in regard to frozen flesh is
worth remembering. The writer says:
SIN 1888 I froze one of my large toes
solid and white to the foot. Iput it at
once into a little cold water, occasional
ly adding a little snow, that the water
might have no part in thawing it. A
coat of ice formed as around a frozen
potato. 1 kept it in water till the coat
of ice was melted and the toe was thor
oughly thawed. 1t never swelled nor
peeled, nor gave me the least trouble. 1t
has never, indeed, been more sensitive
to the cold than the others. The cold
water prevented thawing till the blood
had time to thaw it and continue its
life. If the surface thaws before the
blood flows into it, it dies, and terrible
suffering follows"

it may be of interest to many, now that
the irst-named is generally prevalent
throughout the country. 1t is as fol-

A merchant and s%hip-owner of this
has had the following recipe sent him
from England, where it vas furnished
by Mr.. Larkin, member of the Royal
C0llegeof Surgeons and who vouches
for it tsas a medicine that will effect a
revolution in the healing art as regards
the prevention and cure of smallpox,
and also measles and ~,scarlatina, how
