Apples Of COLD In PIctures Of silver

~ word fitly spoken is like apples of gold
in pictures OF silver" When the body be-
comes diseased, the mind lie thereby necessa-
rily influenced. National wars, state dssen-
sions, neighborhood broils, and family differ
ences, are more frequently than otherwise the
result of diseased and disordered constitu-
tions When the body is suffering, the mind,
acting in sympathy, will become irritated and
perplexed When the physical system Is in
health the mind perceiyes things in their true
light, and the disposition assumes very diff.
ferent phase. Nothing more directly tends to
destroy the happy, cheerful disposition OF a
woman, and render her peevish, nervous and
fretful, than constant endurance of uterine
disorders. The diseases peculiar to woman
take away the elasticity and buoyancy OF
health and reduce her body and mind to a
mere wreck. DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
tion is a red; pedcemdker in a family. Nc
woman suffering from uterine disorders can
afford to be without this remedy. The Favor.

"School's Ont"

Reader, did you ever pause and contem
plate that particular and peculiar phase
of human nature developed by the e1
istent school boy when released from
study and discipline-when "school il
out" and he is on his way home?
Ordinary humanity, when released
from tolls of the day, is prone to seek
rest and relaxation. The boy scorns all
such effeminate ideas. He is composed
of but three parts-legs, arms and yell
and the yell is the biggest part of him
His legs and arms have been kept IL
irksome compulsory quietude all day
and must now be exercised. His voice
has been seething and swelling in him.
for hours, and now must have vent.
As soon as he is clear of the school
house steps he stops and deliberately
yells yell that is ear-splitting, but
which has no more object, meaning or
direction than the midnight vociferation
of mule, and yet he appears at q full
run with his arms flying about like the
scintillations of a pin-wheel. He IS nc
respecter of persons and is utterly in
different as to whether he runs down g.
smaller boy, spins an aged citizen three
times around or mashes girls hat over
her eyes in his headlong career. Ner
vous ladies hug the sides of the houses
as he rushes by in q drove like a whirl'
wind and screams like steam whistle.
"Mercy on us! If that boy was mine
Id-" but just then her own boy flies
past, falls over a dry goods box, bouncei
up. kicks at another boy, and is chasee
across the street and around the corner
before she can get the "You Robert ]!
with which she intends to annihilatt
him. out of her astonisbed throat.
There is but one thing that has the
slightest soothing effect on the boy when
he is on his way home from school. Ht

upon his vision he becomes as proper IS q

JEFF. DAVIS ON THE LATE Pope
The Cleveland (Ohio) Catholic Universe
quotes from q personal letter to its editor
from Jefferson Davis the following trib-
ute to Plus TX: ~ grieve with you
over the decease of the great and nobly-
good Plus Mono. In common with all
who honor true piety, that which begets
universal charity, l feel the loss which
the Christian world has sustained in the
departure of this grand exemplar; but
I have personal obligations added to the
common cause for mourning. You have
mentioned many characteristic acts OF
that sublime man. Let me add one, OF
which you might~not otherwise learn, for
it was as privately as it was graciously
done. When our war was closed in the
defeat of the South, and was incar-
cerated with treatment the most need
lessly rigorous, if not designedly cruel ;
when the invention of malignants was
taxed to its utmost to fabricate stories
to defame and degrade me in the esti-
nation of mankind; when time-seryers
at home as we'll abroad, joined in the
cry with which the ignoble ever pursue
the victim, a voice frora afar to cheer
and console me in my solitary captivity.
The holy father sent to me his likeness,
and beneath it was written, by his own
hand, the comforting invitation our
Lord gives to all who are oppressed, in
these words: 'Kenite al me omnes qul
laboratis, ct ego refciam vos, dicit Domi-
nus That the inscription was auto
graphic was attested By al Cardinal
Barnabo, December, 1885, under his
SEAL"

CHLoRATE OF PoTAssIUM.-The amer
icau Jom nal of Pharmacy publishes {,
case of poisoning by chlorate of potas'
SUM, drug heretofore considered inno'.
cent This case is copied by the Drug.
oi,ts' Circular and Chemical Gazette, and
one other case, and the only one, is cited
of the kind. It is stated that both the
cases occurred in the families of DOCTORS
and it is further stated that no other drug
was accessible to those poisoned excepi
the chlorate of potassium. Both tho
cases were fatal. 1t appears, also, tha;
both took the chlorate in chrystalino
form.
The prevalence of diphtheria and other
affections of the throat, in this city, fo:
some months, has induced our people tD
use very freely the chlorate of potassium.
They do so with the understanding FROM
physicians that it is harmless. A leading,
drug dealer informs us that the chlorats
of potassium is very extensively used III
this city, and that it is constantly sold in
quantities of half a pound or more. Thu
above reciaed cases should arrest both
the attention of physicians and the pub:
lie. We may add that there is no record
of poisoning by this drug taken in liqul'i
| form, and it would seem that is the best
and safest way to take it.-NashvMe

ELECTORAL COUNTS.
How 1t is Proposed to Elect Future Pres
idents.
WASHINGTON, April ].

WASHINGTON, April 7.
The report of the subcommittee of the
House committee charged with the con-
sideration of the method of electing a
President and Vice President YVES sub
mitted to the full committee last night,
and agreed to by one majority. The
most important feature in their proposed
amendment to the Constitution of the
Unietd States is that the electoral votes
and the fraction thereof OF each person
voted for as President in any State shall
be ascertained by multiplying bis entire
popular vote therein by the whole num-
ber of the Electoral votes of the State,
and dividing the product by the aggre-
gate popular vote of the State for MI per-
sons voted for as President, and the quo.
.tient shall be the number of electoral
votes and fraction thereof to which such
person shall be entitled, using for such
fraction three decimals and no more.
The amendment is designed to preserve
the relative power of the smaller States.
The committee say on this subject:
"The small States are now overslaughed
by the present Electoral system. 1t has
happened already that the vote of New
York, cast solid by general ticket, has
decided the election by few thousand
majority, and has not only settled the
question for million voters of the State
of New York, but against majority the
other way of the 100000, who are
voters of the United States. The practi-
cal effect of the Electoral system has
been to increase the relative Importance
and power of the large States, and the
practice of voting by general ticket was
introduced by the large States for that
purpose, and when introduced all were
compelled to follow it,"
Representative Hunton, Of the commit
tee, proposed an amendment in substance
that in case of dispute in any State as to
the Electoral vote, the election shall be
decided by the highest judicial tribunal
of such State, and the vote shall be
counted unless both Houses shall exclude
it. Although no serious objection va:
interposed by the committee 10 this
amendment, the committee did not vote
on it. 1t is the opinion Of members o.
the committee that the proposed amend
ment to the Constitution will not receive
the appreciation of Congress, two-third
Of both branches being required to pro
pose it to the States for adoption.

THE SOUTHERN PROSECUTIONS.
Wade Hamp.on's Proposition to the Pres
ident.
WASHINGTON, April 5.

WASHINGTON, April 5.
It is understood that the President HIS
received letter from Wade Hampton,
containing a proposition to exchange
prisoners, as it were, or, in other worcs,
to drop political litigation in South Car
olina in the cases pending on both sides.
There are good many indictments
pending before the United States Courts
for violations of the Reconstruction ard
other federal laws affecting the rights Ut
citizens in the South, which have NJ
mained untried for considerable lebgh
of time for various reasons-some, b.-
cause the persons indicted could not lie
found; others, because of the disappear
ance of witnesses, or the general indif.
ference that has arisen since the finding
of the indictments. The statement in
regard to Hampton's letter is that it prI-
poses that if the Federal government
will enter a nolle prossqI in all the,e
perding Federal cases that come under
the Civil Rights and Reconstruction
Laws, the State government shall dhi-
miss. all the cases pending which have
any political character whatever, el:-
cept the indictments against Patterso,
and Kimpton, the latter having been
former State Treasurer. -
There is no indication what tue Pres
dents views of such-a proposition maE
be, but it is fair to say that it will not meet
the appreciation of Senator Patterson.
Nor does it seem quite fair to,make .an.I
exclusions from the exchange proposed
on one side and not on the other. Leav.
ing out of all controversy the question ut
the guilt or innocence Of Senator Patter.
son under the indictment, it is very eyi.
dent that the only purpose of his prose-
cution was political. Probably the bet
ter way would be to try all the cases OIL
both sides, speedily and honestly without
regard to politics, and let the verdict rest
upon the evidence of guilt or innocence.
A political trial, so-called, can do YER
little harm, if law and justice make thu
decision without the interference of po
litical influences. There is very littls
doubt that the proposition would be OBJ
structed as much as possible in the in
terest of a class of fresh criminals wh>
/, come before tho Federal Courts for de-
frauding the government of its revenues,
and who would insist that they, toe,
should be included in the list of thos,
who are to be sent out free from th,
courts. There is, indeed, a. story aaoa;
that indictments are preparing agains
the revenue officers who made recen;
arrests for illega, distilling, with thu
purpose of balancing them against thu
criminals.-Dispatch TO NJ Y Times.

EXECUTION. BY THE GU.nLorINE.-

EXECUTION. BY THE GUnLoTINE.-
A friend once described to lis an e1ecu-
tion which he witnessed in Paris, outside
the walls of the city prison, and in the
public street. 1t took place in the gray
of dawn, and at tie precise hour indica-
ted in the sentence. A squad Of soldiers
fled out of the gaGes, and in twinkling
put together the machinery of the guillo-
tine, some of them sprinkling sawdust on
the pavement while it was being put up.
Before this was fairly finished the gate
swung open, and the criminal and execu.
toner and the spiritual adviser marched
out. Whatever religious exercises were
essential had been attended to within the
prison. The criminal, with his hands
bound behind him and a cap drawn over
his head, was led forth, his body bent
forward over the carriage, which, as he
pressed it, shot forward on noiseless
Wheels, and the knife fell with a glitter
of its keen, polished edge; the head
dropped into the basket awaiting it, the
body was placed in a. coffin, the machine
ry taken up, and the whole scene was
over. Within ten minutes, by the watch
of the witness, every trace of the e1ecu'
ton was over. The soldiers, the priest
the executioner had disappeared, and
there was not even drop of blood upon
the pavement to indicate that a tragedy
had been there enacted.-Cairo Bulletin

SAVED BY A MULE.-A very interesting
incident occurred at railroad accident
on the Pittsburg and Fort Wayne Rail-
road at Lakeville, Ohio. Standing between
two of the cars, which were loaded with
horse. and mules, was brakeman.
He went down with the wreck, becoming
fastened between the cars, under ten feet
Of water. His weak struggles to release
himself were useless and he concluded
that in few short seconds all would be
over. The mules had been kicking in
the car, and suddenly the brakeman felt
the end boards give way. Then he re-
ceived tremendous kick on the thigh,
which sent him out of ais perilous po-
sition to the top Of the water. Here he
spluttered about until white mule rose
UP and struck out for the shore. Then
the brakeman grasped The animals tail
and was safely carried to land.-PNs-
