When Tom Flynn was the artist OF
the Open Letter he laughed at the idea
that there was any trouble connected
with the soliciting Of advertisements.
Said he: II can get page Of ads in a
day."
It was suggested that he couldn't get
one lad" In a week. He canvassed
three days with no result, and on the
fourth came in with half-column den
fist advertisement.
"Put that in" he cried, triumphantly.
What did you charge him for that?"
"Ten dollars"
where's the cash?"
'Took it out in trade. He agreed to
pull two teeth (spit), but only let him
pull one (spit), and he broke that off
and left root (spit) in the gum.
any Of you fellows want a tooth (spit)
pulled, 60 to SIT S. street, as there s
five (spit) dollars coming to u.s.
1t was subsequently developed that
the tooth was sound one.

Juvenile Smokers.

A British physician, observing the large
number of boys under l5 years of age on
the street with cigars and pipes in their
mouths, was prompted to examine the
breath of this class of smokers, and for
that purpose selected 3S boys between
the ages of 9 and 10 In % of these cases
he found various disorders of the circula-
ton and digestion, palpitation of the
heart and more or less marked taste for
strong drink. In II there was frequent
bleeding of the nose, and II had slight
liberation of the mouth caused by tobac.
CO. The doctor treated them for their
ailments, but with little effect until the
habit of smoking was discontinued, when
health and strength were soon restored.
The effect of tobacco in creating a taste
for strong drinks is unquestionably very
great. If the testimony of some tobacco
users and medical men is of any weight
! one of the most radical methods of keep
ing the young men from being led to in
temperate drinking is to deny them to
bacco.-[ n. Y. Observer

That Conkling Business.

For two weeks last past, the newspa-
pers have been exceedingly busy with
the Conkling interview. The Admins
tration organs have heaped unstinted
abuse upon the great New York Senator,
and while claiming to repudiate the
source of the interview as being without
honor, have, at the same time treated
the interview as genuine. There is one
very important point that the toe-suck-
ing organs appear to have entirely over
looked, and that is this: provided the
interview be correctly reported: Dot
Conkling give correct statement of the
situation? Does Conkling tell the truth
about Hayes and his Administration?
The toesuckers appear to entirely ignore
the fact that nearly everything stated in
the interview is history. If then, Con
king gives correct analysis of this Ad-
ministration had not his defamers better
attend to the facts? Let US hear wherein
this interview is incorrect. What point
given is not fortified with facts? Did
Hayes recognize Nichols as Governor of
Louisiana through an intrigue? Do
the Confederate Brigadiers control all
the patronage of the South? Did Hayes
secure Stanley Matthews election to the
United States Senate by selling out Gar
field? Did Hayes secure a completion of
the count" under the Electoral Com
mission decision through bargain with
the Democrats of the South?
These are all grave charges; they ap
pear to be true. If true, is not Conkling
and every other honest and patriotic
man in the country justified in condemn
ing the "foul fiend" who has betrayed all
the vital principles of the party that ele-
waited him to power, and turned his back
Ill ho IF ha
lican party?
Let these subsidized organs whose mis-
sion it appears to be to cover with filth
every true man who stands by the tradi-
tions of the party, turn their attention
to these points. Let them defend r. B.
Hayes if they can, and if they cannot, let
them at least show decent respect for
the men who have the manhood and
courage to express the popular verdict
on the White House imbecile- Toledo

Pacific Christian Advocated
Hereditary IntoXication.

That drunkenness can be entailed is
not generally known. 1t is conceded that
thirst for strong drink and such like
evils may be born with the children of
drunken parents, but that child may be
born in such condition as to have through
all its life fits of periodical intoxication
without having tasted strong drink, is a
state Of the case not generally known ;
and yet, it seems to be true.
Within the past week we have met a
gentleman who is a subject of periodical
iutoxication though he has never drank
intoxicants. His father was an inebriate
This man is of middle age we'll known in
the State, has held responsible positions
and is now favorably mentioned as a can
ddate for Justice of the Peace He is a
warm temperance advocate and a member
of the Episcopal church. Once or twice
year since he was nineteen years Of age
he has had his spree, which in every es
sential particular corresponds with that
of a common drunkard. At these times
he becomes visionary, spends his money
without stint launches into ruinous
schemes, abuses his friends, becomes
flushed in the face, refuses to sleep, and
to all intents and purposes is intoxicated.
He has lost all his positions in business
because of this curse of his life, and has
lOSt many nunQfeQS OF collars. Ills spree
lasts week or two at a time. During
several years, while he held the position
Of postmaster he had particular friend
who did his business while these seasons
lasted. This friend died, and he after
ward lost his position by failure to ac-
count for money belonging to the Gov
ernment. The Government has since
refunded the amount to his bondsmen
| who paid it for him at the time of the
| loss. He was at one time in an insane
asylum, but brought suit against those
who held him. He has been examined
by physicians both in this State and Cal
ifornia, and they generally agree it is
simply intoxication produced by that
strange hereditary law which SO often
visits the sins of the father upon the
sons. We have not seen fit to give this
gentleman's name, but we were given
permission to do so if we desired. We
were also informed that the same curse
rests on all his brothers and sisters, tho
his is the worst case
What q commentary on drunkenness
Here is a gentleman of the finest bust
ness qualifications subjected to evil which
has blighted his life, leaving no hope fol
recovery, and yet he is wholly irrespon
sble for the sin which caused it. Call i
an extreme case if you will, it still prove
a possible curse which may follow ever,
drunkard in the land to prey upon hi
children through succeeding generations
