A FRIEND OF ours who is chief clerk in the
Governmental Dispensary, says that no med.
icine chest is now complete without Johnson s
Anodyne Liniment. We always supposed
it was prescribed by law; if it is not, il ought
to be, for certainly there is nothing in the
whole materia medica of so much importance
to the soldier and the sailor as Johnson's
Anodyne Liniment.

hut. as the chain of incidents

But, as the chain of incidents
were given to the jury, each succeeding
link helped to bind him more hopelessly.
They showed how he had confessed the
crime in the jail; they showed how he
had instructed his son to write q letter
acknowledging that he had committed
the crime, and through remorse at his
guilt had drowned himself. The letter
was read to the jury, but the son could
not be found. When the verdict con-
signing him to prison for life was read
all color left the prisoners face, and he
turned to the judge countenance
CHASTITY in its pallor, while he loudly APP
pealed to God to judge of his innocence.
The man whose life has thus been sum-
marily disposed of is q German, about
fifty years of age. His form, always
erect, has become stopped and bent with
the anxiety that has preyed upon him
for months. His cOuntenance shows the
look of man who has lost all hope in
human mercy. His neighbOrs have shown
him none. The jury who tried his cause
have not been less harsh, and with that
thought he goes to prison to, give his
liberty for the life he is charged with
taking.

A Tony Son.

An intellectual young man, promis-
ing student just back from Brown Uni
versity, was met at the Union Depot BY
an elderly man who made grasp at the
young mans hands, and even essayed
to clasp him in his arms. The young
man shook hands with the enthusiastic
native in non-committal sort of way,
and said, in not unfriendly tones, "Wefl,
indeed, my dear fellah-I really-your
face is rather familiar; it seems to me
have met with you somewhere, and vet
l cahn't exactly place you.'' And as
the father gazed at his distinguished son
in dumb amazement, and thought how
only five years ago he had distributed
thoroughbred welts and orthodox bis
tiers all around his youthful back with a
piece of lath, for taking the old mans
razor to trim off shiny club, he sigh
ed, and went back to the Office with an
unalterable determination to bind out
his other sons to shoemakers and black
miths.-Barlington Hawk-eye.

A High Sense of Honor.

The Duke of Wellington had a sense
of honor in all money dealings, and
would suffer none of his agents to do a
mean thing in his name. His steward
once bought some land adjoining his
country estate, and was Boosting of
having made very fine bargain, from
the seller being in straitened circum-
stances.
"What did you pay for it?" asked the
Duke.
"Eight hundred pounds" was the
answer.
"And how much was it WORTH"
"Eleven hundred pounds" said the
steward, rubbing his hands in glee at the
thought of the good bargain.
"Then take three hundred pounds and
carry them to the seller, with my COM
pliments, and don't ever venture to talk
to me of cheap land again.
The steward was COMPOUNDED, and
could scarcely credit his own ears. The
idea that any one could refuse to profit
by sharp bargain, and throw money
away in paying more than was agreed
on, was hard for him to comprehend.

companions observed that he walked

companions observed that he walked
with staggering gait, but little notice
was taken of the matter, as they expect
ed him to rejoin them Immediately. The
somnambulist, for such he was, passed
through three or four gates, untying and
relying the fastenings, which are make
of rope, and his way to the wOolshed.
There he hung his coat upon nail, took
down a pair shears he had been using in
the daytime, and proceeded to sharpen
them. He next caught a sheep, and had
just finished shearing it, when he was
Weakened by the sudden arrival of his
friends, who had come with a lantern to
search for him. The shock of awaken
ing caused him to tremble like leaf,
but he soon regained his equanimity.
The sheep was shorn as well as if the
work had been performed in broad day
light, and the night was by no means a
clear one,

resentatives.


A correspondent of the Philadelphia
North american, writing from Washing
ton, under date of April 8, says:
l am enabled to give, in advance, the
official statement that the next House of
Representatives, to be soon convened,
will be Democratic beyond all question,
and to have with certainty three of the
officers certain to be elected. In view
of the fact that there are thousand and
one rumors and misstatements being
made every hour in the day about this
important matter, it may not be unin-
teresting to give in full the facts and
figures, as obtained from unquestiOned
authority, to show that the Democracy
have the very best of reasons for claim
ing the organization, and that the alleged
dissensions are without foundation.
The House, when complete, is COM
posed of 293 voting members. The Ter
ritorial Delegates are not included. They
have no veto, and do not 60 into party

Bijah's Queer Customer.

tions-pOpped out as Bijah opened the

"You acknowledge that you got
drunk, do yOu?' asked the Court.
"Yes; 1 own right up

"That's just what I did, your Honor,
and believe ought to be sent up for
three months. l believe I've got down
to mean point, and it needs something
to bring me up standing. Send me up,
and it will prove great moral lesson
to me.''
"Why don't you go to Florida and
plant an orange grOve?'' asked his
Honor, as he looked down benignly on
the old pioneer.
g Florida-orange grove! Why,
couldn't plant string beans, your Honor!

like you to the bars" observed the
Court. "Why can't you emulate the
example of Socrates, and behave your
self?''
81 don't care for Socrates, and I'm
liable to go out of here and kill mani"
exclaimed the peddler.
"Well, you'll have to kill somebody
then," sighed his Honor. eff I send
you up you'd eat twice as much as you
could earn, and also believe that you
are real nice old man when you are
sober.''
"No, ain't-I'm a regular old CO.
eoanut, with all the peeling left on!
Won't you send me up, and give me to
understand that I've got to behave my
self or suffer the consequences"

rushed over to wallop him, and thus
prove his desperate character in the
very eyes of the Court.

1t will be thus seen that there are nine
seats disputed in the above seven States.
Those on the rolls, though, include seven
Republicans and twenty-four Demo-
Gratis. Add these to the number given
in the first table, and the figures will
stand 1871 Republicans to 147 Demo.
Gratis, making total of 2S4 undisputed
and uncOntested seats out of 293. BY
this showing, the Democrats have ten
majority, leaving out all the nine con-
tested cases. That is to say, even il
Clerk Adams does not place upon the
rolls the names of either party, leaving
the House to be the judge of the cases
after its organization.

THE NINE CONTESTS.

The districts in Louisiana in dispute
are the Third, Acklin Oem.) VS.. OAR
rell (Rep.), and the Fourth District,
Elan Oem.) and Smith (Rep.). The
Fifth District will be represented by
Leonard (Rep.), while the Sixth will be
represented by Robertson (Dem.) the
First by Ellis Oem.) }, and the Second
by Gibson (Dem.). The two disputed
districts will not 90 on the roll. The
others are already on the roll.
The Colorado dispute is between Pat
tersOn Oem.) and Belford (Rep.). The
latter was elected in October and the
former in November. The dispute is in
which month should the election have
been held. Neither of these contestants
will go on the roll.
The Florida dispute is in the Second
District, and is between Finny Oem.)
and Bisbee (Rep.). The Democrat from
the First District is on the roll and I'M
disputed. 1t is probable that Finney's
name will be placed on the roll, although
it is not yet done.
The Missouri case is between Metcalfe
Rep.) and Frost Dem.). The MAORI
ty was one, and fraud was charged, and
the case is in the Courts in Missouri.
Neither of the contestants will go on the
roll.
A one-majority contest is also the dis
pute in California. 1t is in the Fourth
District, and is between Wigginton
(Dem.) and Pacheco (Rep). 1t is re-
ported here, but not officially, that the
latter has won the case. As yet neither
name is on the roll, and it is vet uncer-
tain what will be done in the case.
In South Carolina there are three
names on the roll-one Republican and
two Democrats. The First and Fifth Dis
tricts are disputed. In the First it is be-
tween Rainey (Republican) and Rich
ardson (Democrat), and in the Fifth
District it is between Small Republi-
can) and Tillman Oemocrat). If either
OF these contestants 60 on the roll there
is good reason to state that the Demo-
Gratis will be the lucky ones.
The contest in Virginia is in the
Fourth District, and lies between JOr-
gensen, Republican, and Hinlin, Demo-
crat. This is the Petersburg District,
where Gen. Grant ordered the troops to
go. Neither Of these names, it is under
stood, will go on the rolls.
Out of these nine cases it is not inn
probable that three Democrats will go
on the rolls and two Republicans, leav.
ing four of, and with this suppositiOn
carried out the roll will be called by
Clerk Adams with Isl Democrats and
139 Republicans, majority for the
Democrats of u. 1t can be accepted
as positive fact that it will be no less
than 12,
