A Sensible Ministry.
From the Knoxville Chronicle.

For several Sundays past the Rev.
Mr.. Dean, who preached at Hickory
Run in an adjoining county, has been
greatly annoyed by the almost constant
coughing and hacking of the different
members of his congregation. In fact,
so great was the epidemic of colds, sore
Threats, coughs, &C., that he could
hardly conduct the services He ad-
menished them upon the necessity of
keeping silence. but finding it impossi-
bic for them to suppress their coughing
tendency, he sensiby advised them ali
to buy them bottle of Symphix and use
it through the week according to the di-
rections on the bottles As might
have been expected, on the following
Sunday, scarcely a cough disturbed the
services of Mr.. Deans church.

Because health is of the first considera

hacking cough. Discard some of the
ephemeral pleasures of the day, such as
theater-going, cigar smoking, &c, and
invest your small change in something

If majority of the votes are for
90 cents then the State debt shall be

| CHICAGO, July 21.-The Chicago stcnchcs are

Of the South Side Tenants begin to think they
have good cause to look for residences In 1oca-
tions Of purer air, aud men having money to
purchase or build seek to escape the nightly
suffocatfons and horrid smells Of the South
Side By crossing the river to the North.
II tue Health Commissioner has power to
act, why does he delayl II he has no power,
then why do VIC have a Health Commissioner!
But he seems in doubt as TO the origin Of the
stencil. Now there arc three facts undisputed:
The south fork Of the south branch, the rcnder-
ing establishments, and the sickening sufiocat-
ing stenches. If the Commissioner is not
pledged to any theory Of origin, let me invite
his imagination to the State Ct Michigan; for
doctors, reasoning By analogy from what they
see. sometimes correctly comprehend things in
visible.
There are numerous marsles in Michigan that
furnish aguc chllls literally to the inhal,itants
around them. In q still summer morning he
Wien the sun shines on this fog it rises FROM
the marsh, aud gentle breeze moves this
malaria to the higher grounds around the
marshes. Should there be d wind during the
night there will be no fog gather over the damp
marsh; the evaporation is carried evenly away.
When there is no morning breeze the
fog rises and seems scattered In the higher
atmosphere Now think the Commissioners
will admit that the same law sgovcrn
the extlalatfons from the South Branch, aud
those arising from the marshes. Then, will he
explain the sudden midnight belchings Of about
one hours duration.
Again, ii the Commissioner will allow me, I
ask him to look at steam cugfne In full force

shaped, spread and mingles with the atmosphere
