THE inner consciousness Of the somewhat
notorious CHARLIE WOOLLEY is Of that
buGbling and eigrrvescent kind which gem
orally comes to the surface when there is
anything tangible in it. His connection
with the attempted Corruptions in the South

anxiety among his coparceners" They
are afraid he will talk; in fact, they know
that sooner or later he must talk and tell
all lie knows or burst, a. the saying is He

in that State of dividing time. e. break
up Republican meetings Every intelligent

the attempts of the Democrats to put that

to interfere with and prohibit the sacred

To distant and unprciudiced observer
the present political situation in the United
States must present some very strange
points Such an observer would instantly
see that the lately rebelious Southern Dem
ocrncy has, by means of murder, violence,
intimidation, and illegal prescription
worked its way back into the National
Councils, there to exert the most perncous
power against the cause OF good Govern
ment and that the Northern Republicans
have quietly submitted, if they have not
practically courted, this red-handed usurpa-
ton. His natural inference would be that
the people of the latter section are either .
lot OF fools, recreants, or towards, or they
would not submit to such impo,itions at
the hands Of their conquered foes,

the most confirmed, if not besotted, Demo-

sAYLER that he was beaten by 700 majority,
and that it would be pleading the baby act
to contest his seat, rs some other Democratic
journals advise. 1t further expresses the
hope that he will not mar his splendid Off

which. il ended in his favor, would only do
the Democratic party an injury. Aud fur

As We paid our four cents for a paper
in the office of one of our large dailies,
the other morning, q pleasant Thank
from the clerk greeted US. We
have thought much about it since. We
should not have considered it discour-
teous if our money had been taken
mechanically; four cents is a small sum.
But it was very much pleasanter as it
was; and the little incident set us to
thinking on the subject we have put at
the head of this article.
Would il not be much better all round
If there were more of courtesy intro
duced into our business dealings? We

there seems to be the most utter indiffer-
ence whether your wants are supplied
or not. W. sometimes meet officials on
railways and steamboats, who are almost
brutalin their manner, aAif a gold band
round the cap gave them a right to be
overbearing and insolent And then,
again, we find others quite the reverse,
ready to answer civil questions civiliy
and to promote the comfort of those who
are temporarily under their care. 1t is
needless to say that q little courtesy goes
q great way in making things smooth
and agreeable.
This lesson of courtesy is one, it seems
to US, that all young persons entering in
any capacity upon q business life ought
to learn. There need be nothing fawn-
ing or simpering about it. 1t is best
when thoroughly manly or womanly.
But it certainly is most easily acquired
in youth, and It will stand its possessor
in good stead in all after years. The
c~ourteous clerk will rightly be the favor
tie clerk. We know that the homely
old proverb is in one n true, that
"fne words butter no pasnips" -
words do not take the place Of things,
of actions. But it is also true, Al the
Scripture says, that Ga soft answer turn
eth away wrath" This politeness in
manner and in word will be like the oil
that prevents the friction of the ma
chinery. It makes everything run easy.

Amsterdam is one of the queerest old
towns in Europe. All the houses. streets
quays, docks-everything you see, even,
the canals, are built on piles. As a gen.
eral thing. the houses have double roofs,
and stand with the gables toward the
street. just under the gable il a large
square window, over which projects q
beam with = pulley and a rope. This ia
used for raising all the materials used in
housekeeping, 20 ~ to avoid dirt incl
dental to carrying things up the stair
way. Many of the houses which run up
five, six, or seven stories in height, are
often not more than from nine to twelve
feet in width. Most of the streets are
mere paths between two rows of build
ings. Nearly every house in Amsterdam
Il provided with small sauare mirrors,
placed 1t such angles before the upper
windows, that one sitting before one of
them cannot only see callers, but also all

4 Strange Charge Against Don Car

Carlos collar OF the Golden Fleece is
startling. General Bolt, who is await

his decoration, with . view Of making

therefore hit upon the ingenious device
of accounting for the loss of the jewels
BY giving notice to the police that they
had been stolen, and accusing the gem

declares that the jewels, worth about

Treatment of Sleeplessness.

So many persons suffer nowadays from
sleeplessness that every contribution to
the literature of the subject is of inter-
est. DR.. Ainslie Hollis, in the London
Practitioner, maintains that although
the quantity of blood in the brain is
diminished during sleep, this diminution
is not the sole cause of slumber, for we
may have the former without the latter.
One of the most efficient means of induc-
ing natural sleep is the application of
mustard plasters to the abdomen.
Prever, of jena, advocates the admins
tration of q freshly-made solution of lac
tate of soda, or of some milk or whey,
the hypothesis that sleep may be
induced by the introduction of the
fatigue products of the body. Where
the insomnia depends. upon the brain
exhaustion. DR.. Hollis recommends the
administration. just before bedtime, of a
tumblerful of hot claret and water,
with sugar and nutmeg. The alkalies
and alkaline earths are useful when acid
dyspepsia is associated with the insom-
mia. Electricity has been used in the
paresis of the vaso-motOr nerves due to
an overworked brain. In hot weather,
sprinking the floor of the sleeping apart
ment with water lessons the irritant
properties of the air, adding much to the
comfort of the sleepers; possibly the
quantity of ozone is at the same time
increased. When sleep is broken by
severe pain, opium or morphia is Of
value, not only by relieving the pain but
by its action in producing anemia Of the
cerebral vessels. In the wakefulness due
to neuralgia. it j. often better to inject a
small doze of morPhia hypodermically
near the branch of the affected nerve
than 10 administer it by the mouth. It
is doubtful whether the bromides possess
hypnotic properties, although they un-
doubtedly act as sedatives on the nervous
system, and rs such may occasionally
induce sleep.-Journal Of Chemistry.
