The Chicago Inter-Ocean, on the 18th,
issued paper containing 2O4 pages, which
is probably the largest daily paper ever
issued. There was one advertisement of
eleUen hundred and eighty columns This
is pretty good sized paper, and good
sized advertisement for small town.
The advertisement was the Cook county
tax sales. This is a "good thing" for the
Inter-Ocean, but we fail to see where it
shows prosperity for the city of Chicago.

EAT CELERY

A writes who is familiar with its Writ
ues says: 81 have known many men, and
women too, who. from various causes
had become so much affected by nervous
ness that when they stretched out their
hands they shook like aspen leaves on a
windy day, and by n moderate daily use
OF the blanched footstalks of celery as a
salad, they became as strong and steady
in the limb as other people. have
known others SO nervous that the lease
annoyance put them In a state Of agi.a-
tion, and they were in constant perplex-
ity and fear, who were also specially
cured by a moderate daily use OF blanch-
ed celery as a salad at meal time. 1
have known others to be cured of palpit-
alton OF the heart. Every body engaged
in labor weakening to the nerves should
use celery daily inlthe season, and onions
In its stead when not in season. We
give it daily to our canary birds and it
cures them OF fits; they are little animals
OF very delicate nerves, easily frightened,
and therefore they need such a remedy
very much, and the relish with which
they take it is proof that their instinct
guides them to eat what is good for
them. boston Journal of Chemistry.

LEADERS MUST
NOT MISAPPREHEND THE
COUNTRY,

George W illlam Curtis in Harper's Weekly.
The real result of the Presidential cleo
ton is so doubtful that the duty of the
committee of the two houses of Congress
to provide harmonious method of de-
claiing it is most imperative. The Re
publican leaders in Congress must not
misapprehend the sentiment of the conn
try. The action ofthe Returning Boards
in Louisiana and Florida has undoubtedly
covered the declared vote of those States
with suspicion. The Republican party
has certainly not gained strength since
the election, and If the exercise of doubt
full powers by the Senate we do not ap-
prehend any violence, but the leaders in
such course would be responsible for
the total overthrow of the party.

l declare it here my solemn conviction
that the conservatives of Louisiana did
fairly carry che late election by consd-
cradle majority of votes; that they were
defrauded by the Returning Board of the
result of that election, and that the
soldiers of the United States, when they
invaded the Legislature of Louisiana,
did not vindicate, but trampled under the
heels of lawless force the true will ofthe
people, lawfully expressed at the polls.
That is my honest coviction.

HORRORS OF THE TURKISH WAR.

One OF the most striking pictures of
the horrors OF the Turkish war is fur
nished by a letter in tue Times this
morning rom Simnitza. The writer, de-
scribing the condition oil things in that
town, over which hang the dun clouds
of a fierce and sanguinary struggle,
says: "Watermelon riuds pave the
streets and furnish ample fodder for the
numerous stray hogs which wander
about; and there Is a prevalent odor OF
onions and hot fat. Amid such heart
rendlng scenes-not TO speak OF smells
of course the inhabitants must be uL-
terly wretched; and they are. The cor
respondent says: 'Watermelons and
boiled Indian corn are the staple arti-
cles Of diet lor the Roumanian, and, as
natural consequences, ne is quite often
seen curled up IN a corner, with both
hands holding his body and groaning
audibly.' We who sit at home here iu
peace and safety can hardly realize the
dark and terrible woe which war has
thus brought to these afflicted people;
but the heart must indeed be callous
which can not feel Il single pang OF sym
patny for the curleI.up Roumanian,
and which will not long Tor the
day when the conflicts which produce
these ago0izing grle;s shall oease for
