ALCOHOL NOT Food concert
was lately givenin the Roya! Albert Hall,
London, as palt of the exercises at a ma.
tlonal temperance fete. An address be-
tween the two parts of the concert was
IN the programme. 1t was announced
by the chairman that whatever subject
YVES discussed must be treated from an
artistic or scientific point of view. On
thus occasion an address was delivered
by Dr. Richardson, in which he claimed
that scientific learning and common ex-
perienee unite IN dec airing that alcohol
Is not a food necessary for the wants OF
men-that it reduces the muscular nowsr
aud, though it may give a flash to energy
it shortens the duration of labor, While
there is a diversity of opinion among
physicians on this subject there is none
among them or any class of men as to
me physical, moral and social evils en-
tailed by excess in the use of alcoholic
drinks.

A young gentleman happening to sit at

HISTORY OF APICTURR.

Two of the most celebrated artists the world
has ever known dwelt in the same city. One de-
lighted in delineating beauty in all its graces of
tint, form. and motion. His portraits were in
stinet with the charm of physical vgor. The
graceful, half-v0luptuous outline of form and
feature harmonized with delicately blended tnts.
On his canvas, the homeliest faces had an almost
irresistible charm. The other found pleasure
only in depicting weired and gloomy subjects.
Above all, did he excel in painting the portraits
Of the dying. The agonixing death -throe, the
CHASTITY face and form, were all depicted with
marvellous fidelity. There existed between these
artists the most Intense dislike. At length this
dislike eliminated. The beauty-loving artist
had been engaged in painting the portrait of q
beautiful woman. ConnOisseurs pronounced it
tho most wonderful piece Of art that had ever
been produced. His brother artist was jelous of
his fame, and sought revenge. By bribing the
keeper of the studio, he gained access to the pic
ture each night. At first he was content to only
deaden the .brilliancy of the complexion aud
eyes, efface the bloom from cheek and lip, aud
paint a shadow On either cheek. Later, his
strokes grew boider and freer, and one morning
the artist awoke 10 find the entire outline of the
portrait changed. He could scarcely recognize
in the emaciated form and haggard counteuance
the glo wing conception he had embodied. The
pallid face and expressionloss eyes he had at
tributed to lack Of geuuineness in his mate
rails; but when the outlines were changed, he
suspected the cause and Indignantly dismissed
the keeper. What the revengeful artist marred
by few rapid strokes of his skillful brush was
only restored by years of patient industry.
Reader, need We name the artists,-Health, who
paints the flowers and "grassy carpet" no less
than the human form divine,-Disease, the re-
vengeful artist who revels in the ruins both OF
nature and humanity,-snd Carelessness, the
keeper to whom health often entrusts his por-
traifs. And is it not the beauty of woman, the
M ost admired of all the works which adorn the
studio Of Health, that Disease oftepest seeks to
MARI The slightast struks of his bruah uDou
the delicate Organization leaves sn imprint that
requires much skill and patience to efacs. Ros-
toration must be prompt. Csrelessness must be
dismissed. Let suffering women heed the warn
ing ere Disease has marrsd their chief beauty
Heslth-beyond reparation. DIR. Pisrcs's Favor
ite Prescription has been used by thousands of
these sufferers, and they are unanimous in their
praise Of its excellence. II you would be trans
formed from the psllid, nervous invalid into a
happy, vigorous woman, try it. F.ru-s

The ELECTORAL CoCNT.-The Conference
Committe of the two Houses of Congress on
counting the electoral vote, have at last come to
an agreement, which, if ratified by the two Hous.
es will become the rule. II Is simply an abandon
ment by the Republicans of the Constitutional
mode, time -honoled, and endorsed by the best
legal minds of the land, and the acceptance of .
doubtful mode, which may lose them the fruits
of years of struggle. 1t looks as if the Republi-
cans had voluntarily abandoned an impreguable
position, intimidated by the bluster and threat
euings of the disappointed Democracy. The lat
ter would never have consented to such q thing,
had they stood in the same position. 1t may
turn out all right yet but the chances are doubt
ful. The plan is to submit all disputed questions
in the count to q committee of five Senators and
five members of the House, and if they fail to
agree, the decision to be made by FIVE members
of the Supreme Court. OF coarse, in the matter
of the disputed votes, the Senate Committe will
side with Hayes and the House Committee with
Tilden In selecting the Supreme Justices, the
only Democrat on the bench is taken another
weak kneed Republican, with strong Democrat
c leanings; leaving two Republicans. These
four have to select the fifth. If they should Sc
lect Davis, of Illinois, there will be a majority
whose political sympathies are more with the
Democrats than with the Republicans; but if
they should select the Chief Justice, or any one
of the others, the probabilities would be in favor
of giving the Republicans what they are justly
entitled to. We trust the Republicans in Con-
gress know what they are doing; but when they
have once been induced to abandon sure ground,
they have placed their cause in doubt. They
should have "known their rights, and knowing,
dared maintain them"

Chief. from my old friend Thomas Henshall. the
Herd Law. and think il wei TO say few words in
reply. That thR farners' accounts show a balance
the wrong side of the ledger is lamentaby true but
Is that any reason for adding this wrong side, by
compelling him to fence against his neghbors stock,
that they may browse in the lanes and highways of
our County, think not Men should care for their
own stock-not their neighbors'; and no farmer
get the benefit of his own land without fencing: but
the fencing should be done at his own option. and
when convenient-not compulsOn. a...s
And now, to this railroad theory. the facts
The Herd Law does not fence the track and railroads
not excused for their neglect in killing stock; and
now.
The State of Nebraska has the Herd Law in fore,
and in every case, stock is paid forunless the COM
pany is clear Of all neglect and the accident unayod
able Of course gross neglect the part of the stock
owner would render his claim unavailing. And that
Is as It should be- for man has right to endanger
the lives of his frllow men for money; and l think
Mr.. Henshall would be Of this opinion, if
cident should happen to a train which he
passenger This reckless disregard Of hnman life ia
becoming too common, and hencc am in favor Of
making the railroads responsible in every ease where
there ia not gross neglect the part Of the stock
owners And am also in favor of the Herd Law, for
the above reasons, and the further fact that fenc

Ed. CMEF-Kiad Sir We would like to have q
little space in the columns of the Chief for the pur
pose Of making . reply to Mr.. HenshsIrs remarks
the herd law.
People being on the wrong side of the ledger in
opinion is about the only fact that those remarks
tain and people will be likely to remain there. if
they compelled irnco sganst the stock Of the
whole country nstead Of each person frncing against
his own little herd. -..- ls,fu .a
The reason people not ou the right side Of the
ledger is because they have spent the amoune that
would have put them there. in making unnecessary
fences. .... rg
Mr.. Henshall knows that our County Board il not
trying to revolutodiIe the hAs and business Of the
people They have left it to the people entirely. What
more could ask of a County Board ''Our pastur-
age is becoming crcumscribed. says Mr.. Hen-hall !:
and so is his logic in regard to the herd Law.
As to our milk cows and work stock, their good
bites that elevatng Henshal allnes to, would be
scarce Musauito horses which waltz to n stake and
rdcrsd fence backwards As to the material for
king pasture fences, any person knows that it would
be e~s expensive to fence up ones stock than to fence
out everybodyis. One Of Land sowesl down in
rye will keep COW great deal better than lanes and
hazel brush. and she will give twice much milk
We ask the County Beard tn look at the old fences
great amount il will take both in money and labor To
repair them before another crop can be raised. 1t
would be mnch cheaper for the farmers to hire pas
tures for those onecow than to rebuild their out
fences Citizens, just look at it with clc-e observ
ing eye and imagine how murh better OF the County
would have been. If we had had this herd law when
our County was frst organized At this time
could have been on the right side Of the ledger.
Most all of the cutivatable land in the County has
been broken up and the young growth Of timber is
greatly injured by cattle browsing ON it and every

Some are exceedingly tinid about signing petition
