The Nineteenth District was unchanged
by the gerrymsndering Of our Democratic
friends, except that Portage county had to
give place to Mahoning. The district two
years ago. gave $500 Republican majority.
That majority was increased at the late
election to 9,619. The difference between
the majorities given for the Republican
candidates for Congress in the two cOun-
ties Of Portage and Mahoning in the late
election, was only 169 votes, so that Gar

800 over his majority Of two years ago.

The Blessing of a Wife.

1t needs no guilt to break husbands
heart. The absence of content, the NUT
terings of spleen. The utility dress and
cherries home, the forbidding scowl and
deserted hearth-these, and other name.
less neglects, without a crime among
them, have narrowed to the quick the
hearts core of many man, and planted
there, beyond the reach of cure, the
germ of dark despair. 0, may woman,
before the sight arrives, dwell on the
recollections of her youth, and cherish
ing the dear idea of that tunefnl time,
awaken and keep alive the promise she
SO kindly gave. And though she may be
the injured, not the injuring one-the
forgotten, and not the forgetting wife-a
happy allusion to the hour of peaceful
love-a kindly welcome to comfortable
home-a smile Of love to Danish hostile
words-a kiss of peace to pardon all the
past, and the hardest heart that ever
looked itself within the breast of selfish
man will soften to her charms, and bid
her live, as she had hoped, her years of
matchless bliss, loved, loving, and con-
tent-the source of comfort and the
spring of joy.
A woman who has tried the expert
ment says: "When man finds place
that is pleasanter to him than his home,
his wife should put two Jumps of sugar in
his coffee, and double the quantity of
sunshine in the front room."

A Story About Cardinal Nice lOsky,

Cardinal McC losky, who not only was
not made pope, but failed to reach Rome
in time to cast his ballot, is by no means
a severe man in private life. He has his
cronies, like any other bachelor, and they
are said to have uncommon good times
together. An incident occurred one day.
which comes to me on the best authori-
ty, and shows how his natural gayety
breaks out sometimes at solemn mo-
ments. 1t was in the cathedral one day,
and he was moving up the aisle in the
procession, himself swinging the censor
and advancing with stately step. He
recognized one of his most intimate
friends in the end of a pew. Probably
no one noticed any change his move
ments, but somehow or other, as the
cardinal passed BY the pew, the censor
gave an extra sharp swing, and the
friend got full puff of the scented
smoke in his face, while the procession
swept slowly on. The friend under
stood the cardinals harmless little by
play; and as for the cardinal-well, if
there was not quiet twinkle in his eyes,
eyes never did twinkle.

that the garment so fondly and slowly
covered with side-plaitings, SO coldly and
quickly frayed out along the pa ing

bring blush to the cheek of even Mr..
Pedsnap's Young Person to say leg, in
stead OF limb, when leg is meant; that
the supper at an evening party is not

are well-founded objections to the use of

CarbOlic Acid and Catarrh,

The London Medical Record gives the
experience Of DIR. Moritz in the use of
carbolic acid spray in catarrhal disease
Of the respiratory organs. Having had
much to do with carbolic acid, and
especially the spray, he noticed that the
bronchial catarrh with which he was
frequently troubled, did not occur, or
that, if it began, it was soon arrested.
A colleague Of his, DR.. Asseldelft, made
the same observation. DR.. Moritz used
the spray of 2 per cent. solution of
carbolic acid. He first tried it on two
children in whom the commencement Of
whooping cough was suspected. After
the remedy had been used two days, the
slight catarrh which was present came to
a stop, and in a few days disappeared.
In several children, with measles, the
cough was diminished, and the nights
were more quiet after the use of carbolic
acid spray. In two surgical patients,
also, whose lungs were in a suspicious
state, the cough entirely disappeared
during the frequent use Of the spray.
The carbolic acid does not act as eau
terant, for dilution produces beneficial
action, and it is not demonstrated that
it exerts any chemical action on the
false membranes, as some have thought.
1t appears most reasonable that it acts
as parasiticide, destroying the proto-
organisms which constitute the funda-
mental part of the false membranes and
which exist in the circulatory system,
since the local alterations are more than
the expression of zymotic influence.

With bound she was in the house. and
found her blessed babe black al to it's
lace, and kicking as to its limbs.
Hastily she ran for the doctor, who, on
MS arrival looked at the patient, fumbled
with it, and finally said that there must
be some foreign substance in the trachea.
which could be removed only by bron.
chotomy. The mother, looking at the
practitioner with all her eyes, inquired
what in the world he meant by,such Ian
guage in her house. He explained, as
doctors will on such occasions, that, "in
order to save the child's life, It would be
necessary to make an incission in the
medlan line of the throat, near the thy.
rold gland, dissect down to the trachea,
push aside the streno-hyoid muscles, in.
troduce canula and then remove the
obstruction" Meantime the babe had
almost ceased to wriggle, and the doctor,
jamming his hat on his head, started for
the door to look for boy to run for his
instruments. Before he had reached the
door, however, he heard resounding
spank, and looking around beheld with
horror that mother holding up her child
by the left leg, head downward, and ad-
ministering to it common domestic
remedy, such as the Widow MacStinger
gave Master MacStinger ere seating him
on cold stone to remove the sequele.
He rushed to the rescue of the patient
from such unprofessional hands, but as
ne rushed had his eye nearly put out by
the kernel of corn which shot from that
trachea as if propelled by catapult. ~,
We draw veil before the scene that
followed, and are silent as to the Ian
guage which came from the mothers
lips. Some words there were of "mak-
ing tracks with his trackootomy, his,
glands and his CANAL" but they are
hardly fit for publication, and might, if
reprinted, hurt the doctors feelings.
The results, however, lead us to believe
that there is still more truth in Mon
taigne's remark than the faculty would
care to acknowledge.-M Y World.

How to Make Ones Self Beautiful.

Two simple chemicals should appear
on every toilet table-the carbonate Of
ammonia and powdered charcoal. Nc
cosmetic has more frequent uses than
these. The ammonia must be kept in
glass, with glass stopper, from the air
French charcoal is preferred by physi.
clans, as it is more finely ground, and a
large bottle of it should be kept on
hand. In cases of debility and wasting
disorders it is invaluable. To clear the
complexion, take teaspoonful of char
coal we'll mixed in water or honey for
three nights; then use simple purga-
tive to remove it from the system. It
acts like calomel, with no bad effects,
purifying the blood more effectually
than anything else. But some simple
aperient must not be omitted, or the
charcoal will remain in the system, a
mass of fostering poison, with all the i'm
purities it absorbs. After this course of
publication, tonics may be used. The
use of charcoal is daily better under
stood by our best physicians, and it is
powerful, and simple enough to be
handled by every housekeeper. The pu-
rifying process, unless the health is I'M
usually good, must be repeated every
three months.
A quarter of a spoonful of ammonia in
half a glass of water, taken every night
and morning, will prevent the decay Of
teeth, sweeten the breath, and is less in
furious than the soda and magnesia
many ladies use for acidity Of the stom-
ach. A few drops of ammonia will pu-
rify and soften the hardest water.

The Vatican Library.

A writer in one of the magazines saws:
Passing down the right colorado of
st. Peters the visitor reaches the chief
entrance to the vatican, the scala Regia,
a gigantic and highly adorned staircase
Leading to the audience hall. After
traversing various broad and interlacing
passages, one comes into corridor 1000
feet long, in the walls of which are set
5000 slabs, covered with ancient in
scriptions 'rhisis the famous Lapidarian
gallery. The fragments of pagan origin
on the right are confronted on the, left
with early Christian epitaphs, While
walking through the gloomy corridor
toward the heavy iron doors near it's
further end, one can but feel that the
striking contrast between the pagan and
christian epitaphs forms a fit approach
to the halls which entomb that vast COL
lection of heather and Christian itera
lures, the "Libraria Vaticana." The
scene bursting upon the view as the
visitor enters this library is one of ideal
splendor. Imagine a grand hall over
200 feet long, divided by several large
ornamented pillars; its walls and high
arched ceilings decorated with graceful
frescoes and Illuminated in gold and
brilliant colors, its luminous perspective
extended to a junction with two long
transverse galleries, each al richly adorned
as the main hall; the whole displaying a
line of over half q million of magnif-
cent paintings, while in the recesses are
shown collections Of costly and royal
presents, vases of malachite, porcelain
and alabaster, mosaic tables, cabinets,
cabinets sof. enamels, carvings Of ivory,
and numbeIless other precious objects Of
art. Thereis no visiblesuggestion that
these halls are library.,J Nowhere is a
book to be Sseen. Yet these galleries
hold more than l25, !booksand manu-
scripts, comprising many of sthe rarest
literary treasures of the world. But all
are locked up in gilded and decorated
cabinets, and seems to bes madeas diff
cult Of access as possible. Only one
small obscure room is assigned for literary
work; and this is open but three hours
in the day, and from these days are ex-
cluded all the numerous church festival
days. The vatican library is vast tomb
Of books; the tomb is splendid one,
but its decorations and external beauty
by no means compensate for the entomb-
ment of the treasures which it shuts up
from the public use.

Josh Billings on Birds.

The quail IL a game bird, about one
size bigger than the robin, and so sudden
that they hum when they fly. They
have no song, but whistle for music; the
tone is solitary and sad. They are shot
on me wing, and a man may be good in
arithmetic, fust rate at parsing, and
even be able to preach acceptably, but if
he amt studied quail on the wing, he
might as well shoot at a streak of light
ming in the sky as at quail on the 60.
Briled quail, properly supported with
jelleys and Champagne Charlie, is just
the most difficult thing, in my humble
opinion, tow beat in the whole history ov
vittles and something to drink.
1 am no gourmand, for kan eat bread
and milk five days out of seven, and
smak my lips after I git thru, but if l
am asked to eat Drilled quail by friend,
with judishous accompaniment, I blush
at fust, then bow my head, and then
smile sweet acquiescence-in other words,
I always quail before such request.
The partridge is also a game bird.
There game IL tow drum on log in the
spring ov the year and keep both eyes
open, watching the sportsmen. Patridges
are shot on the wing, and are as easy to
miss az ghost IL. It is phun enuff tew
see the old bird hide her young brood
when danger il near. This must be seen !;
it can't be described, and make emmy
body believe it.
The partridge, grouse and pheasant are
cousing, and either of them straddle a
gridiron natural enuff to have been born
there. Take a couple of young patridges
and pot them down, and they beat the
ham sandwiches you buy On the Camden
and Amboy road 81 per cent. have
eat these lamentable. New Jersey ham
sandwiches, and must say that I prefer a
couple Of Eastwood chips, soaked in
mustard water and stuck together with
Spaulding's glue.
The fust thing you generally see ov a
woodkok il whizz, and the last thing a
whirr. How so many ov them are shot
on the wing IL mystery to me, for it is
quicker job than snatching pennies oph
a red-hot stove. I have shot at them
often, but never remember Nv my killing
one ov them yit. '7''-.-
They are one ov the game birds, and
menny good judges think they are the
most elegant vittles that ware feathers.
