symptoms; Ulcers. all SyPhilitic diseases,

OF American manhood, Heartburn, Piles,
Constipation, Nervousness, Inability TO sleep,
and impure blood.
This Is formidable list of human ailments
for any single medicine to successfully attack,
and it Is not probable that any one article

THEGRLND CLOCK At WASHINGTON.


At the naval observatory in Wash
ington stands the clock that regu-
lates time for the whole country.
1t is not beautiful, like many French
clocks that noisily. tick upon the
parlor manteL In fact, it is large
and tall, with plain face, and body
of dark wood, and without orna-
mentation, II is much like the. old
fashioned clock that stood in our
grandmother's kitchen. rs nowhere
touches either the floor or walls of
the building, but is securely fasten-
ed to a stone pier, which rests upon
a solid foundation, so that it may
not be affected by any motion of
the building. Rains may descend,
floods come, winds blow and beat
upon the house, but the clock feels
it not, for it is built upon a rock.
1t is splendid time-keeper. At the
present time iG gains at the rate of
forty-eight-hundredths of a secoud
per day.
In order that the people all over
the coun try may have uniform time,
so important for railroads and
steamboats, and other public convey
ances, at three minutes before
twelve everv day, this clock is con-
nected by means Of a galvanic bat
terry, with the wires Of the western
Union Telegraph, which extend into
the room containing the clock. All
other messages, however important,
must give way for these three min
utes; and In every town and station,
from Maine to California, where
there 10 q railroad operator. as the
pendulum Of the clo3k ticks, each
second click is recorded by the
telegraph, and at the instant of
twelve two ticks are given.
AT the same instant a huge black
ball, which is drawn up a few mo-
ments before, descends upon the
dome Of the observatory; and hun
dreds all over the city stand, with
watch in hand to see it drop, to
keep, as We say, "ball time" Thus,
when this ball drops two clicks in
every large town In the land tell the
hour of twelve.
But you must remember that only
places on the same meridian with
Washington have, after all, exactly
the same time. The sun, in passing
round the earth (which is divided
into three hundred and sixty degrees
of longitude) every twenty four
hours, must pass through one degree,
which is about sixty.niue miles.

now AYOUNG:HUSBAHD GOF wEAN
ED FROM MS CUPS.

A::young wife in Michigan had
just got settled in her new home.
All seemed fair and promising, for
she did no. know that her husband
was q drunkard. But one night he
came home at q very late hour, and
much the worse for liquor. When
he staggered into the house, the
wife, who was greatly shocked, told
him he was sick, and to lie down at
once; and in q moment or two, he
was comfortable settled on the sofa
in N drunken sleep. His face was
eddish purple: I: his breathing was
heavy, and altogether he was pitia-
bic looking obi ject. The doctor was
sent for post-haste, and mustard ap-
piled to his feet and hands. When
the doctor came and felt his pulse,
and examined him, and found that
he was only drunk, he said:
"He will bo all right in the morn
ing.."
But the wife insisted that he was
very sick, and that severe remedies
must be used.
"You must shave his head and ap-
ply blisters, " she urged, ''or I will
send for some one who will"
The husbands head was accord
ingly shaved closely and blisters an
piled. The patient lay all night in
in drunden sleep, and notwith-
standing the blisters were eating in
to his flesh, it was not till morning
that he began to beat about, disturb
ed by pain.
About daylight he walked mp to a
most uncomfortable consciousness
OF blistered agonies.
"What does this mean," he said,
putting his hands to his bandaged
head. q
''Lie still-you mustn't stir, "said
the wife, "you have been very sick"
''I'm not sick.''
"Oh, yes you are; you have brain
fever. We have worked with you
all night"
~ should think you had" groan-
ed the poor victim; whats the
matter with my feet ?"
''The are bllstered."
"Well, I'm better now; take off
the blisters, do" he pleaded piteous-
lY.
He was in a most uncomfortable
state-his head covered with sores,
and his feet and hands were still
worse.
''Dear. +" he said groaning, =" if
should ever get sick in this way
again, don't be alarmed and send for
the doctor, and above all don't blister
me again.
"Oh, indeed will-all that saved
you were the blisterS, and if you ever
should have another such q spell, I
should be more frightened than ever
for the tendency am sure is to
appoplexy, and from the next at
tack you will be likely to die, unless
there were the severest measures
used.n
He made no further defence; suf-
fee to say he nerer had another attack.

Crop Prospects I'm he North. West

The Chicago Times gives the fol.
lowing summary of the crop prospect
in that section tributary to Chica-
go:
In Southern, Central and Eastern
Illinois it is expected that the wheat
crop will be very large this year
fully 40 per cent. beyond what it
was in 1870 and equal to the great
weld Of 1S74-but the cold weather
and rains have retarded corn plant
ing, and portion of the southwest
of the State is almost literally un-
der water. AS a natural conse-
quence the corn crop outside of
Northern Illin Dis is estimated at 35
per cent. below average. In North
ern Indiana the prospects of a good
harvest are pronounced very en-
couraging. In Wisconsin the farm
ers are in good spirits, and expect a
crop that may restore them to the
prosperity that they enjoyed before
the panic of 1873. From Minneso-
ia comes the same pleasant story,
and the best agricultural authority
in that state estimates the wheat
crop at 10000, 600 bushels. In Iowa
there is decrease in wheat produc-
tion, and the State is abandoning
that cereal for corn. Nebraska and
Kansas are i'm dread of the Rrasshop-
per, but vigorous efforts arebeing
made TO head them off, and in Kan
sas from 10 to 20 per. cent. mere
wheat than usual has been planted.
On the whole the crop prospect in
the Northwest may be considered
promising.

Nh. Kemble-Hayes had every
thing at stake in carrying Ohio in
October of last year. Had he lost
that State there would have been a
Tilden whirlwind in November that
would have swept not only Ohio, but
Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Nevada,
Oregon and California, and Ohio
was saved by President Hayes and
his friends appealing to us FOR money
to put into the contest. Secretary
Sherman and Governor Dennison
wrote the most importunate letters
to us for money. The State that
gives us a civil service President, a
Cabinet Off ,er, and any number of
ther officials, practiced civil service
so f.ras not to paw their own money
to the camp aign, but they called up
on Pennsylva mia TO do it for them;
and Secretary Sherman then appeal
ed to men who he knew had profited
by the government, received money
from them, and has since rewarded
the parties by profitable contracts.
AS TO the President, his case is
worse. We made assessments here
in Philadelphia ON office holders
every dollar of which we sent to
Ohio in addition to other large
amounts sent there, and some of
which was sent directly TO President
Hayes himself. 1t would be un-
charitable to say that the President
had not used the money for political
purposes, as any other use of it would
be a breach of trust that would war
rant the Pennsylvania politicians in
calling upon him for an account
render. And in 1875, when Presi-
dent Hayes was dragged through
Ohio by the ears, the same appeal
was made upon us, the same meas
ures employed to raise money to save
him, and liberal contribution was
made from this city just on the eve
of the election that had much to do
with his narrow escape from defeat.
Reporter-Do you believe that the
policy will be enforced ?
Mr. Kemble-Not long. The
public will gladly sustain any ad-
ministration i'm preventing officials
from unwarrantable interference in
politics, and from being bled by DO.
litical sharks; but every Cabinet of.
ficer excepting Keys holds his place
as a reward for political service, and
public sen timent will always sus.
tain the prom Otion of men who fair.
ly and honorably earn their posi-,
tions by party services. The people
do not care how much officials con-
tribute for legitimate party purposes
either in efforts or money, but they
do care that officers shall he honest
and capable; that they shall be faith
fully perform their duties, and that
no more men shall be employed to
do government work than would be
required to do the same work for an
individual. That's the civil service
the coun try wants; it is the best
that any party can ever get, and
those who profess to do more will
find their sincerity always doubted
by honest men. An unsuccessful
policy of course can't last, and a
literal enforcement of the policy just
announced by the President would
be q disastrous failure. e.-Philaelel-
