COLD FEET.

Who ever knew u woman who was not
aff1icLed with cold feet3 And yet no one
can have cold feet habiLually and still be
healthy, as healthy rs they should be
without them. This cOldness Is not
causeless, since - deraugeml nts OF the
human system, all sickness, all pain,
must have a definite cause. In general
terms cold feet result from poor oircu-
lation OF the blood, the warm blood from
the heart failing 60 reach The extrem.
tiles.
This is caused, in part, by wearing
as most young ladies do; by wearing
tight bands around the limbs. by "tighf
lacing," etc. The circulation OF the
blood may be improved by removing
these tight bands, by giving the lungs
as much space as the Creator intended
for them, wearing boots of the size and
shape OF the foot, and by friction of the
whole surface of the body with flesh
brush or its equivalent. Anu when the
blood circulates freely and the feet are
warm, part OF the headaches will disap.
pear, as natural consequence.
But i'll addition to these means, soak
the feet at night in hot water till they
are thoroughly warm, then dash on q
little cold water, rubbing them briskly
till reaction occurs. A glow OF heat and
a cure are easily effected. This treat
ment must be continued longer or short
er, according To circumstances-an av-
erage of about once week. Keep the
feet warm aud the mead cool, Tor with
out these conditions TIE health must be
impaired.-lRe Reformer,

THE LATEST
PRESIDENT-MAKING.
First Decision of the Joint Tri-
bunal.
What Both Sides Have to
Say About 1t.
TO-daY,s Session.

WAsHINGToN, Feb. S.-The Commits
sion reassembled in open session at II
o'clock. The proceedings of yesterday
having been made public, the Journal
was read.
Justice Clifford stated that proceed.
lngs were now in order under the orders
adopted yesterday.
Jas. E. Young, of Pensacola, was
called as a witness, and presented the
commission of Mr.. F. Q. Humphrey as
Shipping Commissioner and a certificate
from the CLERK of the Court in which the
commission was filed that no resigna.
ton had been fled up to January "a,
1877.
Mr.. f. q. Humphreys was called on
the other side and examined by Mr..
stoughton. Had been United States
Shipping Commissioner. His resigna.
tion as such was accepted by Judge
Wood, from whom the office came.
Witness produced the written accept.
ance Of his resignation, which stated
that the resignation was accepted, and
that until he (Judge Woody could
come to Pensacola and hold Court, the
duties would be discharged by the Col.
Iector of the Port.
Witness did so turn over the office.
and had not exercised the functions OF
the Office since. The testimony was here
closed, and Justice Clifford announced
that the case was ready for argument.
BY request of Mr.. Merrick the time for
argument was extended to three hours
instead of two, for each side, and at a
quarter of 10 Judge Hoadly commenced
his argument.
He contended that tender of the res
ignation to the Governor of Ohio, and
the acceptance of the same by the Judge
in Ohio, was not an act OF the Circuit
Court of Florida, and that therefore the
resignation of Mr.. Humphreys had
not been legally accepted, and that
he was, consequently, at this
time holding an Office Of profit and trust
under the United States, and therefore
ineligible as an Eiector. sHe argued that
the eff1c ofthe disqualification extended
not only to the Elector but to the State
that appointed him.

Fisk fell hopelessiy in love with a
beautiful American, 70 whom he paid
mad court. Pr0diglous plays were pro-
duced in her honor; the famous red-
ment defled; his railroad stopped riiE-
ming time and again; he used every et-
fort to succeed, and naturally he sue

that Fisk did was to present his mis-

The James White Case.

The trial OF James White, for procur-
ing illegal votes, proceeded before
Judge Swing this morning.
w. II. Rigdon was the first witness.
He said while, on election day, at the
Second Precinct OF the Fourth Ward, a
man named Saunders called my atten-
tion to man VINO was voting.
The man to whom my attention was
directed was. live feet eight inches in
height, wore gray clothes and soft
hat. When LETT the voting place, cor
ner of Pearl and Pike streets, White
was about ten feet from the bailot-box.
W. f. Saunders testitied-W at the
polls election mornings; saw White there
between I and 8 O'clock; White left be-
party to the Fifth Ward polls.
There were some six or eight in the
party. They were standing on the cor
ner of kilgour and Pearl streets. 1 saw
White talk to this party at that place.
One of them, who gave his name as
Smell, voted at the Filth Ward polls.

Richard G. ROhner, City Clerk, was
called to show regular organization of
the polls.
Col. L. g. Weir testified that White
came to him before the election and
wanted employment in connection with
the election.
Witness told him he had nothing to
do with 1t. After the election White
came to him again and said he could give
the names of twenty-seven illegal voters,
the times and places at which they voted; /;
that he was poor, with large family de-
pending on him, and would like to make
money on this information. He said 1T

sition by the action of Judge Bradley in
voting with the Democrats on the Sec
ond proposition submitted to the Com
mission. The Republicans have very
few fears OF the result OF this SIDE
issue as far as Florida ID
concerned, for they understand
that Humphreys, the Elector whose
vote is questioned. is already 10 this
city, and is prepared to prove BY con-
elusive evidence that he resigned before
the date of the Presidential election.
There are, however, two Electors in
Louisiana whose votes can be chal-
| lenged, on account OF alleged disqualih-
| cations, and there Is of course the hnal
struggle over the Watts case in Oregon.
The determination of this question of
eligibility in the Florida case will not
| by amy means settle the whole contro-
yersy as far as the returns from that
State are concerned, because the main
| point Sill remains open, namely, which
OF the two sets OF conflicting returns is
the legal and valid expression ol the
| will OF the State.
