THE Indianapolis Journal (sanguine
Radical organ) says: The general result Of
the day is . grand victory for Republican
principles, for honest money and for good
government, as opposed to cipher Democ-
racy. imitation, reputation, and national
dishonor. The Republican victory Of yes
terday completely eclipses the so-called
Democratic victory Of October, and makes
it reasonably certain that in 1880 we can
present . solid Republican North. Tho
old party still lives, and is marching on to
victory.

Now when . firm adherence to wise
principles is rare among political leaders,
remarks the Philadelphia Record, the few
men Of strong convictions and statesmen
like views who remain to serve as beacon
lights in directing the forces Of soci ETY. to-
ward higher moral views and more benefi-
cent purposes are deserving Of unusual
honor. The true statesman has that far
seeing intelligence which enables him to
look beyond the present, and if need be,
endure for a time misrepresentation and
persecution, in the firm belief that the fu-

- Thomas D. Jones, Syracuse IN.
W Welshman, has had a dream with
"millions in it," for it has already
secured him 100000 or SO within ten
months, and promises to yield other
golden eggs in the future. Jones is a
miller, and from boyhood has brooded
over some means of improving flour by
granulating instead of crushing the ker-
nels of wheat. He was poor, and it was
slow, tedious work experimenting in
other mems mills, but one night the idea
came to him in a dream at Toledo
hotel. It is to apply diamond quartz to
the mill-stones instead of picking them,
the secret being in applying the quartz.
Senator Bowett, an Ohio Quaker, gave
Jones the opportunity to prove his
method success in his mills, but after
receiving 100000 for its introduction
here, the inventor went to Great Britain,
where he sold the right to use his pat
ent by counties for hundreds of thousands
of dollars in the aggregate. Jones is
now improving his patents at Utica and
Rochester, but sails again in week to
introduce them in France and Germany.

Jonathan r. Bass of Cambria, Nj
agara County, N. Y, has not joint in
his body. He went to bed in 1857 and
has never been out of it since. He can
not move even a finger. He ran as cap
tain of canal boat between Buffalo and
Rochester in 1850, and was getting stiff
then. When he could not do any work
he had to quit canal boating, and then
went to bookkeeping. His joints kept
getting sitter and sitter. The doctors
could do him no good, and, after twenty
one years, be has been abed at the farm
homestead of h's family, between Lock
port and Lewiston. His trouble COM
menced with apain shooting through
the bottom of his right foot, that tum-
bled him to the ground. The foot COM
menced to swell and got to be almost
twice its natural size. Stiffness in the
joints followed. Now Bass is literally a
bone man. There is no more bend to
his legs, arms and body, than there is to a
marble statue. His arms are as fast to
his sides as if they were nailed there.
For eight years after he went to bed he
could move his arms, but the joints
finally became solid bone. They have to
feed him with spoon. His jaws are as
imnoyable as his other joints. There is
a space between his teeth that is just
wide enough to get food through. In
1869 he became blind. His mind is
sound, but be speaks with difficulty.

ANONYMOUS LETTERS.
A Funny Recommendation from Lou
isiana BulldoEcr-Strnight Out Protest
Against Anderson's appointment:

Among the letters transmitted by the
President to the Potter investigating
committee on last Friday were the fol-
lowing unique letters:
WEST FELICIANA, La, May II, 1877.
Hon. VIM. NJ Erarts, Secretary Of State,
Washington, ID. c.:
SIR-Understanding that Mr., James
E. Anderson, (carpet-bagger,) of New
Orleans, is an applicant for d consulship;
and that he would like letters from those
who know him, l take the liberty to in
close this to you. l am the person who
attempted to rid the State of him last
fall Ito see his testimony before the con-
gressional committee in New Orleansl.
Being unfortunately unsuccessful in my
attempt the people of this State look to
you for relief, and with one voice i'm
plore you, if you have any vacant consul
ship at any earthquake-shaken point,
any cholera-infected city, any yellow
fever point, or any smallpox ridden COM
munity, or any vacant commission to the
fercest of our Indian tribes, to send him
to one of these places at once, because
we consider the said Anderson person
who has just sufficient character to serve
the party that pays the most money, and
of the class of patriots who can best serve
their country by dying for it: Hopeful
of an affirmative response, / subscribe
myself JOHN w. BULLDozER.

During the reading of this letter and
its Endorsement the Republican members
of the committee INDUCED in laugh of
satisfaction, and even the chairman and
the Democratic members smiled, as if in
sympathy with the sentiment expressed
by the anonymous correspondent.
WASHINGTON, D. c., May 26, 1877.
Hon. R. B. HAYES, PRESIDENT: AS q
friend of yours, and one who earnestly
desires that your whole administration
may be eminently successful, l asked
you to withhold the appointment OF
James E. Anderson as consul to Funchal,
who falsely represents himself as being
from Ohio. He is blowing around
among his acquaintance in my presence
that he will Feather his nest" while he
| is in Office. The general reputation he
has among all that know him is that he
is totally lacking in one redeeming quail.
ity. Whoever recommended him did moi
know him, evidently. His testimony be-
fore the Louisiana committees is sufh'
cient condemnation OF the man, as he
tried to sell out to the Democrats, and
did everything that was low and dis
honorable. l will see you further about
| it if you wish, and show you proof o.
what say. Yours, truly,

The Laboratory of the System.

The stomach Is the laboratory of the system, in
which certain mysterious processes are constantly
going on. These result in the production Of that
wonderful vivifying agent the blood which in
state of health rushes laden with the elements OF
vitality to the remotest parts of the system. But
when the stomach Is semi-paralyzed by dyspepsia,
blood manufacture is carried on imperfcctly, the
circulation grows thin and sluggish, and the sys-
tenn suffers In consequence. Moreover, indigestion
reacts upon the liver and bowels, rendering the
first sluggish and the latter constipated. The
brain also suffers by sympathy, and sick headaches,
seeplessness and nervous symptoms are engen-
dered. HostctteIs Stomach Ditters reforms this
state of things gives permanent tone and regulari-
ty to the stomach and Its associate organs, the
bowels and liver, and ensures complete nourish-
ment and increased vigor of the system. 1t Is the
most popular as we'll as the most efficient anti
dyspeptic and tonic In America.

Distinctly Audible.
A paper lately read before the Royal
Society nhhouaces the invention, by
Prof. Hughes, of this astonishing instru-
menE or apparatus, which opens to our
ears q univese of sounds hitherto inaudi-
ble-just as the microscope revealed a
world of minute life and structure un-
known before. Like Mr.. Edison, Prof.
Hughes was one day employing the tele-
phone for acoustic experiments, He
wished to investigate the effect of sono-
rous vibrations upon the electrical be-
havior of conductors, led to this idea by
the way In which seleuium is known to
become electrically affected by light, and
also by the researches of Sir William
Thomson upon the electrical conduct of
strained wires. The Professor had a
| stretched wire on his telephone circuit,
and, though he talked and plucked at it,
no effect followed until it broke. At
that moment the telephone uttered asoEt
of "shh," which was very curious. He
placed the broken ends together under a
weight, and obtained again faint sounds,
which were improved when the wires
were connected by iron nails, or steel
watch chain-the more pieces and more
diverse in substance from the conductor
seemingly the better. Experimenting
still further with his broken circuit, es-
pecially in the direction of this whisper
from Science about more pieces" he
found metallic powder or fine metal
filings wonderfully augment the power ol
transmitting sounds; while shot, in q
bright condition, platinum, carbon, and
mercury also gave good results, particu-
larly the last. Following up this clue,
Prof. Hughes hit upon plan of sus-
pending finely divided mercury in stick
of charcoal by heating the latter and
plunging it into quicksilver, wheyeupon
the charcoal becomes in6ltrated with the
mercury in minutest but continuous par
Iticles. Inserting "transmitter' of this
sort in his circuit an absolutely amazing
sensitiveness to sound, as we'll as power
of conveying it with the utmost fidelity,
Twas displayed by the apparatus. A
touch Of the finger on the vibrating
plate was conducted to the speaking end
| in volume of vibration like the rustic Of
forest; the stroking of 8 camel's hair
brush on card was magnifed into the
sound of loud whisper; the beating Of
la pulse or the tick of a watch was found
to pass with perfect clearness through a
resistance representing hundred miles
! lof space; and, when fly happened to
walk over the plate, the tramp of its feet
was most distinctly caught, like that Of
some six legged horse trotting, and it
was, moreover, heard to trumpet from its
raised proboscis like an elephant in an
IndisnjuDgle. Sounds, in fact, totally
linaudible before to human cans were ar.
rested and reported by this simple and
accidental expedient Of interrupting the
electrical circuit with a finely divided
conducting material. There is almost
no doubt that the perfected microphone
will convey to us that hidden ripple OF
the sap rising in growing trees and
plants, which Humboldt said might be q
continuous melody in the auditory or.
gaus of earth's smallest cTeatures.-Lon-

"We, the People,"

1t was said by Condy Racquet, IN the
Examiner and Journal Of Political Econo-
my, which he published during the Null
lifcation controversy, that the phrase,
eve, the people," employed in the pre-
amble to the Federal Constitution, con-
stitutes the chief ground upon which the
consolidation school of politicians rely
for the support of their theory. 1t is not
little singular that the great cause of
constitutional liberty should be endang-
cred, purely by the imperfection of the
English language; and that the descend.
ants of the freest nation in Europe should
be in danger Of becoming slaves, merely
because they speak the English language.
The word "people" in all other languages
has plural. Thus in Greek, laos has
laoi; in Latin, populus has populi; in
French, peuple has peuples; in Spanish,
peublo has peublos; in Portuguese, povo
has povos, and in Italian, popolo has
popoli. Unfortunately, in English we
do not use plural to people; but had
the idiom of our language admitted of it,
there can be no doubt that the language
admitted of the Constitution would have
been, "we, the peoples" If any one
will refer to the journal of the Conven-
ton, he will there find that in the origi-
nal draft of the preamble the words were,
"We, the people OF the States of New
Hampshire, Massachusetts,, Rhode Island
and Providence Plantations, Connecticut,
New York, &C." In this case the plural,
"We, the peoples" would unquestionably
have been used, and there could have
been no reason for changing it, merely
because in the amendment made in the
phraseology by the committee appointed
to revise the style, the enumeration of the
names of the States was omitted, and in
their places was substituted the shorter
but equivalent phrase "of the United
States" In speaking of several nations
at the same time, a Frenchman would
say, for example, ''les peuples Of Spain,
Portugal and Italy are favorable to con-
stitutional government" We would say
in English, "the people of Spain, Portu-
gal and Italy, &c." and yet no one from
this would infer that we supposed the
inhabitants of those three countries con-
stituted one nation. Had the Constitu-
ton been drawn up in Latin, it would
have read "vox populi," and in that case
werever should have heard of the doc
trine of an aggregate mass or consolida-
ted government.

BODY SNATcH1NG IN OHIo.-As has
already been announced, there is intense
excitement in Cincinnati over the finding
of the bedy of the Hon. John Scott Har-
rison, son of ex-President Harrison, in a
medical college in that city. He died
suddenly Saturday night or Sunday
morning, and the funeral took place
Tuesday morning, the body being in
tered in the family burying ground, at
North Bend. When preparing the
grave, it was found that the grave of
August Devius, who died two days ago,
had been despoiled. Deyins was friend
of the Harrisons,. and the discovery
caused them to be especially careful in
preparing the grave of John Scott Har-
rison. Il was strongly walled up, the
body, in metallic casket, placed in, and
a stone as heavy as sixteen men could
handle put on it. The funeral over,
Carter Harrison, a son of deceased, and
George Eaton, grandson, came to Gin
cinnati to search for the body Of their
friend Devins. Guided by clue given
by IN item in the morning papers, they
went to. the Ohio Medical College, and
in the dissectiug room, rope being
drawn from the chute, body was found
attached to it. Mr.. Harrison said: "This
is not my friend; he was much wasted
with consumption, while this is a stout
man." Col. Smell Baker, chief of police,
who mas with him, suggested that he
take good look. A cloth over the face,
the only coverino ohnut the hndv yyas
removed, when Carter Harrison trem-
bled and turned pale, saying, "Great
Godl it's father" The body was not
mutileted, but the whiskers were cut off
and the jugular vein cut and blood let
out. The body was taken to an under
takers and prepared for reburial. The
discovery of the robbery was made on
Wednesday morning, and friends came
to Cincinnati to find the body already
recovered. The big stone had been re-
moved, and the guard placed to watch
the grave is nowhere to be found.

of the deem system of culture.

of the deep system of culture.
The practice Of deep culture is plainly
violative of the laws cf nature, and is
the source of mofe ill-success in farming
than any other one mistake. 1t is con-
trary to the principles of reason and
common sense, and not sustained by
practical experience, 1t is an error both
in theory and practice, and cannot be
justified by the liberal construction of
any principle in nature.
Let us, then, as agriculturists, awake
to proper conception of the magnitude
of this error. Let us heed the teachings
of nature SO long as we are dependent
upon her productions, she is our best
guide, and when We violate her precepts
we may not claim her blessings.
