given such a test of its curative qualities as
Boschee'S German Syrup. In three years
two million four hundred thousand small

free Of charge by Druggists in this country
to those afflicted with Consum ptiou, Asth-

ing the American people undeniable proof
that German Syrup will cure them. The
result has been that Druggists in every

recommending it to their customers. Go to

Another View Of the Maine
Election.

The notifying check encoun-
tered by the Maine Republicans
is of broader significance than
it's local effect in New England,
There can no longer be any
reasonable doubt that the Dem
ocrats will control both houses
next congress. The Democratic
party will feel encouraged, and
with the sanguine spirit which
is its besetting infrmity, it will
be confident of carrying the
presidential election. Its success
is staked meanwhile on the use
it may make Of its assured con-
troll of the government. We have
no great fear that it will be SO
foolish and demented as to raise
, 1878-09-21

the question of Hayes title and
attempt to depose him. So rcvv
olutionary 1 proceeding would
alarm the country, disturb busi-
ness, undermine confidence and
cause an overwhelming reaction
against the Democratic party.
The Republican party confesses
that it is in desperate straits by
the very fact of looking to Grant
as it's possible candidate. He is
not likely to accept the nomin:
tion unless he thinks he would
be elected, and when the Repub-
llcan party turns to him as its
only hope in the expectation
that he would accept the nomi-
nation it reckens without its
host.-N. Y. Herald.

Prof. Mears Of Hamilton Col
lege believes that, while every
wise effort should be made to re-
form students disorderIy Gus
toms, the evil is Sc inwrought
with the traditions of college life
that it cannot be extirpated by
violent measures. He says, in
the Independent ."Stern and uns
compromising laws against row.
dyism of every form, and a firm
policy in executing them, are
the backbone OF the whole sys-
tenn Of effort againstthe nuisance.
The orderly students, who really
come to study the peaceable, and
the timorous should know that
they have the support Of such
laws and such firm policy be-
hind them, even if they do not
always avail to protect them.
Such a wholesale procedure as
the suspension OF an entire
class from Princetown College,
in the summer Of 1877, for their
rude treatment of the incoming
freshmen, was right and judi
cious so far as the general poll
cy is concerned, even though the
hazing afterward was not only
stopped, but took on a worse
form" But Prof. Mears would
leave no idle hands for the devil
to employ. making the discipline
rigorous rs to amount of study
and providing plenty of appara-
tus for gymnastic exercise
during play spells. He thinks
that religious students are sell
dom disorderly, and therefore
advises the encouragement of
religious exercises and societies.

Edison of the Bonanza mines
of California, confident that he
has electric apparatus that will
indicate where to find bodies Of
ore, give their approximate ex-
tent, and make a near guess at
their metallic value. Eight Of
the non-paying mines on the Bo-
nanza vein have simultaneously
penetrated barren rock TO the
depth of 1000 feet, at which the
great Bonanza is found. Allthese
are preparing to cross-cut blind
ly in all directions in search of
Bonanzas. Edlson's arrival in
California is therefore deemed
timely.

Small Means.

We think tnat the power Of
money is on the whole, over-es-
timated. The greatest things
which were done for the world
have not been accomplished by
rich men, or by subscription
lists, but by men generally OF
small pecunlary means. The
greatest thinkers, discovarer, in
ventors and artists have been
men Of moderate " wealth, many
Of them little raised above the
condition Of manual laborers in
point of worldly circumstances.
And 1t will always be So Riches
are oitener an impedlment than
a stimulus of action; and in many
cases they are quite as much a
misfortune as a blessing. The
youth. who; inherits wealth is
apt to have life .sade 10 easy
for him, and SO grows sated
with it because he has nothing
left to desire. Having no special
object to struggle for, he finds
time too heavy on his hands;
remains mentally and morally
asleep; and his position in socie-
ty is often no higher than that
OF a polypus over which the tide
floats.
A curious and exciting story
has been most cruelty spoiled by
an unromantic British Consul.
The story was that an English
lasly-of course youngand beau-
tiful, and she was adventurous
had gone beyond the limits OF
safety on the rocks at Biarrity,
and she had fallen into great
lake among the rocks and was
drowned. But drowning was
not her worst fate. The pool, OF
Palaise dc la Mort, as it was
called. was peopled by myriads
OF s.barbots," which have such
an Unsuitable taste for human
flesh that within six hours
nothing is left of the victim ex-
cept the bones. Thus Miss Gar
land was not only drowned, but
eaten up by barbots. The whole
story, barbots and all, turns out
to be q myth. The British
Consul declares that it is entire
ly without foundation. He saws
there is no such pool as Palaise
de la Mort, nor any insects call
ed barbots.
The Danish Princess Thyra
is remarkably plmn girl, but is
exceedingly clever. The Duke
of Connaught aspires to good
looks, and when, some two Years
ago, he was summarily des-
patched to Copenhagen by Queen
Victoria with the distinct under
standing that he was to propose
and be accepted, he gracefully
declined. and beat hasty re-
treat. Tbyra would have been
only too pleased to make so
good a match, but should she
get Prince Leon Napolean she
gets a desirable fish.

The effect Of baloon-descent
was tried on a camp-meeting
near Cincinnati lately. The bal
loon came sailing down in the
middle of prayer, like an answer
from above, but it effectually
broke up the meeting. AS the
aeronaut had ballast left, some
OF the people wanted him to give
an ascension exhibition; but the
expostulations Of the preacher
to please not turn the camp
meeting into q circus prevailed.

Al curious case of suicide is

"A CuTlOub case Ol SulClU0 IL
mentioned IN a London paper
A cat belonging to the Vicar Of
Wootton had given birth to foul
kittens. As she did not seem
strong enough to suckle so many
it was judged best to drown
them. After this she moped, and
went about in quite desponding
manner. On sudden she dash
ed across the lawn, and plunged
into the ornamental pond in
front Of TIE house. She was
quickly rescued, and q little
brandy given her. AS she then
seemed a little better, she was
let loose. Later in the afternoon,
however, she spied an opportuni-
ty to get out of the house, ran
again to the pond, and plunglng
in, was drowned.
Dr.. J. S. Myer OF Virginia
City, New, has discovered a lost

stone for the Pyramids was cut.
Tie handkerchief business

Express says: Some fellows are

A malignant plague has been
brought to Readville, Mass, in
hair from Siberia and Poland.
Several operatives in a curled
hair factory have died of the
disease, and others are very ill.
A London policeman aged 90,
lately reported seven fires within
so hours. Such amazing activity
excited suspicious that he had or
iginated the fires himself for the in
formation reward, and this being
proved to the satisfaction Of jury,
he has gone to penal service for fl
teen years.
Twenty gallons of bottled lager

A CLERGYMAN having ueen introuuced
into Kent, living took occasion during
his first sermon to introduce the word
"optics." At the conclusion of the
service a farmer who was present
thanked him for his discourse, but in
timated that he had made a mistake in
one word. softening down the severity
Of his criticism by saying. 1--WE all know
very well, sir what you meant" On
the clergyman making further inquiries
about the word the farmer replied:
"What you call hopsticks. in this part
of the country we call hoppoles."

in wife were handed over by
her husband, under a lease, for
the sum of f5 to another man, a
stone mason, who had tecome
enamored of the lady. The hus

mason did not think she was
worth it, but ultimately they re
paired to an inn, referring the
matter to the arbitration Of the

A correspondent of the Times
Of India complains of the des-
truction Of the rclict of ancient
Babylon. A dealer in bricks,
he says, is excavating Mount
Meyelibeh, near Hillah, and is
carryingaway great walls which
he finds thirty feet below the
surface. The brick dealer has
discovered a large subterranean
apartment, on each brick of
which is the name OF an ancient
king. He has begun denlolish-
ing it. Hillah is built with
bricks taken from Babylon, and
the courtyard OF the house where
he resides is paved with square
bricks bearing the name OF Ne
