The Supervisor Question.

EDITOR HERALD: 1 noticed in
an article in the Star of Saturday
morning in which very specious
appeal is made to the Workingmen
of the First Supervisor District to
support Mr.. A. H. Rogers, the
nominated candidate of that party.
The writer signs Harmony, -
and claims rank as friend of Mr..
Mand, and with the sang .froid that
friends sometimes assume, he init
mates that the "loaves and fishes y
are the attractions which cause
Mr.. Mand to appear as a Peoples
candidate; and bewails the proba-
bility or possibility of the embryo
party being split by such a course
on the part of Mr.. Mand.
Now, was not in the conven-
tion that did the nominating for
the Workingmen, but l am one of
vast number who are desirous of
avoiding "ring rule,u and are
looking for the best men in their
choice OF candidates; and upon due
inquiry, find the following facts in
regard to the candidates for Super
visor from the First District, men.
toned above, viz:
Mr.. Mand is an old resident of
this county, having lived here
some twenty years. He is gen.
tleman of large interests in the
county, which he manages in
business-llke way. His record is
excellent as an honest man and
gentlemen, and no taint of the
"ringo can be found in his char.
acter; and he was the only chosen
candidate of the WOrkingmen's
nominating convention to the
office to which he now aspires, and
after the adjournment, which fol-
lowed his nomination, the cenven-
tion, or a portion of those compris-
ing it, called new meeting and,
on motion of some one, the nomi-
nation of Mr.. Mand was reconsid-
cred and Rogers substituted. This
was not regarded as the correct
method for doing business, and
MIR. Mand, at the solicitation of
the friends of fair play and good
government, decided to stand as a
Peoples candidate.
His business training renders
him eminently fit for the position,
and / trust every Workingman
who wants his party to succeed
not as party of tricksters, but by
fair and honest means-will vote
for him.
tits not the purpose of this arti-
Gle to reflect in any way on Mr..
Rogers. That gentleman is too
new in this county to have given
much of record of himself, and
certainly there is no reason why
he should be selected for this posi-
tion over the head of Mr.. Mand.

Beer has a Falstaiiiian effect, as
Henry We'll, the brewer of the
Philadelphia Brewery, will testify.
Good beer makes muscle and fat,
and all the regular patrons of the
Philadelphia Brewery are strong
and healthy. It makes the sick
well and the healthy stronger;
physic is unnecessary and doctors
are played out, il you use the Phil
adelphia beer. Leave orders at the
brewery or send them by mail. De-
livered free to any part of the city.

A Tried Remedy for BiliousEess.

Those who suffer from disorder or in
action of the liver will never get the up-
per hand of the unruly organ so long as
they use such irrational remedies as
blue pill, calomel and podophyllin. But
from the tried and popular medicine,
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, they may
expect relief, with certainty of obtain
ing it. The influence of the bitters upon
the great hillary glands is direct, power
full and speedily felt. The relief afforded
is not spasmodic. but complete and per
manent. The sallowness of the skin
aurfeu appearance OF tne tongue, lhui'
pains through.the right side and shoul-
der, in fact every accompaniment of the
obstinate complaint are entirely and
promptly removed by cour' of this in
estimable medicine, In bek -. af.-s 10

The Jasper weekly courier. [volume] (Jasper, Ind.) 1858-1922, 1878-12-20

Some queer stories are told Of the
Chinese Embassy now engaged in en-
deayoring TO get used 10 the unciyiiizcd
ways OF Washington society. A Wash
ington letter says they are likely to be
the social sensation OF the coming sea-
son. They keep two servants in their
establishment who are not Chinese, and
who furnish the public with details Of
their private life, which are interesting
and, possibly, reliable. One OF them,
a female servant, tells the story that the
first night one of the Cinnamon spent
in his bedroom there he did not discov.
err that the bedclothes could be folded
down, and shivered all the night
through on the outside Of the coveriet.
Another story which has better authori-
" is thus related: = The house they
occupy was leased furnished, and when
the legation took possession the furni.
ture in the parlor was covered with
white linen wraps. There was deal Of
talking when this furniture was exam
ined. None Of the Chinese liked il, and
in the end it was ordered away White,
every one knows, probably, is the Chi
nese mourning color A furniture dray
was backed up 70 the door Of the big
house on + Street, in which the legation
lives, and fair share of the furniture
loaded on il, when tipping over chair,
the cover slipped from it. and the Grim
son silk showed itself. The Cinnamon
saw il and ordered the furniture unload
ed. The covers were taken off, and no
further objection existed" Mr.. Chin
(or Pin, or whatever his distinguished
name may be) greatly enjoys the atten-
ton he receives from the ladies Of the
Capital.
The Jasper weekly courier. [volume] (Jasper, Ind.) 1858-1922, 1878-12-20

A girl about ~ years old had died.
and her relatives had appointed that
evening rs the beginning OF her funeral.
After death takes place in an Indian
village the weeping and wailing take
place Immediately, and continue among
the relatives in the widest and most
demonstrative manner for many DAYS.
The evening before II had reached ia
highest pitch the family Of the dead
girl had given away every thing they
had possessed and were thon engaged
in pulling down the very lodge that shell
tered them, and cutting the buffalo
robes that composed its sides into small
pieces, while the mother Of the Girl had
chopped Oft some Of her fingers with
butcher-knife and was being pounded
by synpathizing friends 10 keep from
ilinting. Every body had their faces
painted black and were moaning as only
4 grief stricken Indian can. The woods
and fantastic lodges and weird faces Of
the Indians, lit up as they were by the
ilickering glare OF large campfire,
formed picture at once grotesque and
startling. When orr party visited
the camp in the morning the girls
family, weak from hunger and loss OF
sleep, were still keeping up the barbar-
Gus wake, although the corpse had been
placed upon It's burial platform in some
secluded spot on the prairie, where Il Is
TO be hoped the wild flowers and birds
will watch II evermore. Riding out
from the dozen or SO tepees that com
priscd the village, Mr.. Hoyt and myself
made q short cut across curve in the
trail and discovered a dead Indian on
platform of stakes about ten feet above
the prairie. At first, like all whites out
here, we set out with the determination

History or the Corset.

The corset had its origin in Italy, and
was introduced from that country into
France by Catherine de Medicis. Mary
Stuart and Diana Poitiers did not, how
ever. follow the fashion, hut Ii was adj
mitted by all the ladies' OF the French
Court that 1t was indispensable tot he
beauty Of the female figure, and was,
therefore, adopted by them. The cor
set was in those days in it, infancy, and
il assumed more Of the rough char acter
of knights cuirass. The frame was
entirely Of iron, and the velvet which
decorated the exterior or hid a fright
full and cumbersome machine. This
state Of things, so detrimental TO health,
and the cause Of so much personal in
convenience, not to say torture, could
not last long, and the artisans Of those
days contrived to give more pliability
and lightness 70 the metal, and prepar-
ed the way by degrees for whalebone.
Bot, as reforms are always slow, the
cold iron continued 70 clasp the warm
hearts of the fair wearers for long
time in its embrace. The corset found
favor in the eyes of Louis XIV. In the
following reign the corset was threaten
ed with Punishment from the toilet.
Fashion took rural and simple turn,
and was almost guided by the taste Of
Boucher, In whose pictures many Of the
Court celebrities figure as shepherds
and shepherdesses. But the painter de-
parted, and fashion returned 10 the
prim eccentricities Of the former times.
During the Revolution the corsets were
again forgotten, and under the Directo-
~ it was completely interdicted By the
fashionable world. The bellies OF the
day took classic turn. the Roman
dress-the toga, sandal, etc. The En-
pire dethroned the classic fashion, but
without taking the corset in favor.
High waists were in high favor, and IA
mode revealed taste certainly the re-
verse Of prudery. With the fall Of the
Empire fell also the waist, and then
came also, as a necessity, the return TO
the corset.--Loatfog Cuy Journal.
