In summing up the result of the
Senatorial Convention, the Paines.
vile Telegraph most truthfully says:
There is no question as to the quail
ifications and fitness of Mr.. Rowland.
He is a gentleman of fine and culti-
waited ability, which, combined with
the strictest honor and integrity,
wins for him respect and confidence
from all with whom he associates, as
well from political opponents as
friends. In his own county he is uni
versally popular with all classes, and
it is believed his name on the ticket
for Senator, with that of Mr.. Crowell
for Clerk Of Supreme Court, will
draw out the heaviest Republican
vote ever .polled in that county. As
Representative Mr.. Rowland made
an excellent reputation, and the Re-
publicans of lake county can give him
their support with the full assurance
that they cast their votes for strong,
true man, who will be the peer of any
member in the next Legislature.

begins to recover a little, the foreign
manufacturers may food our coun-

the home markets for our own man

own by sending their surplus pro-

There is food for serious reflection
in the facts presented by Mr.. Ma
than Allen before the Social Science
Association at Saratoga. He shows
that New England, formerly the
home of Puritanism, is steadily and
rapidly becoming Catholic. The
Protestant people, particularly the
young and active men and women,
are migrating to the Middle and
Western States, while the laboring
classes, coming thiJher from Europe,
are largely Catholic. Already twen-
ty-fve per cent. of the population
there is of the Romish faith, while
seventy out of every hundred chill
dren born are of Catholic parent
age. At this rate it will only re-
quire a few years to give the New
England Catholics majority in the
control of local affairs. What the
result of that change will be it is
easy to foresee. The splendid free
school system, which has made New
England the focus of progressive in
telligeEce in this country, will then
have to fight for its life. Leader.

RepublicanFrance has funny way
of illustrating its republican notions,
and dealing with those of her citi-
zens, who avail themselves of the use
of thought and speech. Justice is a
mockery when it lies in the way of
government infiiction, upon those
who dare to offer a criticism upon
the immaculate purity of that gov
ernment. Gambetta made a rational
speech at Lille, which raised the
vindictiveness of the government.
There was nothing sufficiently tangi-
bic about it to warrant legal process,
even in France. But ministers and
their plant tools set themselves de-
liberately at work to torture its
meaning; denied him jury trial, and
cited him before tribunal in Paris,
sitting with closed doors. Finding
the Court thus organized to convict,
the Republican leader was constrain-
eb to let it do its worst.
Sentence was passed, and three
month imprisonment and fine, was
the sentence imposed. The tactics

The Aylmer Quebec Times has the
following account of an extraordinary
encounter with moose: GAS Mr.. Flat
ters, OF this village, and Mr.. L. H. Kir-
by, of Ottawa, were travelling in a ca
noe on the upper Gatineau last week, an
occurrence took place which might have
had disastrous consequences for them.
They had just rounded a point when
they found themselves confronted by
huge moose, who, with two young ones,
was playing in the water. Instead of
taking to the bush, as it was expected
she would, the animal made at once for
the canoe, and attacked it with great
fury. Mr.. Kirby broke his paddle over
the immense head of the brute, and Mr..
Flatters cut off her front foot with an
axe but this only seemed to make her
more savage. Seeing the impossibility
OF escaping they determined to shoot
the animal in order to save their own
lives, if possible so five or six well-di-
rected shots from the bailiff's revolver
ended one of the toughest fights which
ever took place between man and beast
in that neighborhood The two young
moose were afterward captured.

Weak Ewes,

A very simple remedy for weak or
sore eyes, is recommended by writer
in the Tribune, who says:
Get five-cent cake of elder flowers at
the druggists, and steep in one gill of
soft water it must be stepped in bright
tin or earthen ware strain nicely, and
then add three drops of laudanum bot
tie it tight and keep in a cool place !;
then use it as wash, letting some of it
get in the eyes follow this, and relief
is certain. If the eyes are painful, or
much sore, make small soft congresses
wet in the mixture, and bind over the
eyes at night. 1 eau warrant the above
as bsrmless and sure, having tried it in n
number of cases where other skill and
remedies had utterly failed. If the eyes
are badly inflamed, use it very freely,
and tea made of elder flowers and
drank would help cleanse the blood.
Pure rock salt and water will strengthen
your weak eyes if you bathe them daily
in it. would earnestly advise you to
avoid mixtures or washes containing
minerals or other poisons.

A Good Sunday School Lesson.

Deacon -, a staid, cool-headed gen
tleman, well advanced in years, was un-
til recently Sunday school teacher, re-
markable for the evenness of his temper
and for his deliberate speech. He once
had class of bad boys-one of them a
very bad boy-who tried in many ways
to provoke the teacher to wrath. One
day, while the old gentleman was ex-
planning one of the striking incidents in
the Bible, the young rascal deliberately
spat in his face. The good deacon, with
out change of tone of his voice or look
ing round, proceeded with his explana-
tion, but before wiping his face, his
right hand, by back-handed stroke,
came in contact with the mouth of the
refractory pupil, and as he is black
smith and that was his hammer hand, it
required considerable drenching with
water to stop the free flow of blood from
the lips whose impudence needed this
lesson

A Deer With the Barb of an Arrow in
His Heart.

Yesterday, says the Humboldt Cali
formal Times, great curiosity was
placed on our table-a deer's heart
containing the flint barb of an arrow.
Last Sunday Mr.. E. Sharp, of Arcata,
was out on Boynton's prairie on deer
hunt. H saw large five-point buck,
and brought it down with his rife.
Taking off the hide and securing the
heart and other rare bits, he started
home: On arriving there, Mrs. Sharp
boiled the heart, and when the meal was
ready, placed it on the table. In at
tempting to cut the heart the knife
struck against something hard. The
lady split the heart open, and in the flesh
part the flint barb of an arrow was found.
1t must have been there long time, as
the flesh was calloused all around it, and
the scar where the barb entered is plain
ly to be seen. This is quite a curiosity,
as only few such instances are known
to be on record,

The nineteenth century is the age of
novels, remarks literary historian-he might
have added with equal truth, "and novel i'm
positions" Studied politeness has been passed
off on us for native refinement, the forms Of
devotion for its essence. and speculation for
science, until we look askance at every new
persoti or thing and to an assertion Of merit,
invariably e'olaifh; "Proee itr In brief,
Satan has made himself SO omnipresent, that
we look for his cloven foot everywhere-even

certain practitioner (who has been awhole year
trying to correct her refractory liver) has said
concerning it. At home. she examines the
bottle half suspiciotisly, tastes of its contents
carefully, takes the prescribed dose more care
fuliy, and then proceeds to watch the result
with as much anxiety as a practitioner would
count the pulse-beats of dying man. She
takes another dose and another, and shows the
bottle to her friends, telling them she 'fees

eyes regain their luster, her accustomed energy

another bottle is a sure witness that she has
found the Golden Medical Discovery to be a
reliable remedy for the disease indicated.

The Black Snakes of Florida.

A resident of Florida says he always
encourages black snakes to live about
the house, as they are excellent vermin
killers, driving away rats and rabbits,
which do much mischief in house and
garden. They themselves are harmless,
except that sometimes they steal eggs
and poultry, and perhaps now and then
kitten may be gobbled up. On one
occasion black snake (Which grows to
the length of eight or nine feet) took a
kitten, and finding it to his taste came
for another, when the two house cats at
tackled and killed him after a severe bat
tie: 1t is not only the rattlesnake which
IS killed by the blacksnake, but it has

that there must be something in the eye

A Young Lady's Plain, Simple Dress.

The following is clipped from the Toledo
(Ohio) Blade: Now we begin to have
an idea of what a plain, simple dress for
a lady is. The lady principal of a young
ladies' seminary in Tennessee has
made a specific chart for the govern
ment of her sweet girl graduates in their
costuming for the commencement day
exercises. 1t is gratifying, succint and
clear, and we have pasted it up for fu-
ture use as a standard in determining
whether any feminine dress is " simple "
or erich" The mandate runs: "The
young ladies are to dress in white, and
the material is to be muslin, tarlatan, or
its equivalent. No trimmings permitted
except when made OF the same material
as the dress. Lace, six and satin ex-
pressly prohibited. No satin OF silk
sashes, and no train over ten inches in
length. No sleeves shorter than the
elbow. No flowers, except a brooch
bouquet and as dressing for the hair.
No jewelry except earrings. Any young
lady disregardipg these regulations will
not be allowed to appear at commence
ment."

A Medicine of Many Uses,

A medicine which remedies dyspepsia, liver
complaint constipation, debility, intermittent
and remittent fevers urinary and uterine
troubles. depurates the blood, counteracts a
tendency to rheumatism and gout, and relieves
nervousness, may be truly said to have many
uses Such an article is Hostetter's Bitters
one of the most reliable alternatives of dis
orderly to well ordered state of the system
ever prepared or sold. 1t has been over a
quarter of century before the public, is in
uorsed by many eminent professors of the
healing art, and its merits have received re-
peated recognitions in the columns of leading
American and foreign journals. 1t is highly
esteemed in every part Of this country, and is
extensively used in South America, Mexico. the
British possessions and the West Indies. If
its increase in public favor in the past is to be
regarded as a reliable criterion of its gain in
popularity in coming years, it has indeed a
splendid future before it.
