ALMosT A Suicide.

One OF the most handsome, eminent,
and successful merchants in this coun-
try otter Years of suffering from dys-
pepsia and Liver Complaint, became
melancholy and desperate. To add to
MS troubles an eruption appeared with
distiguring effect, upon his face. Ply
sicians exhausted their skill in his be-
half, but failed TO afford any relief.
RaclIed with the torrents of indiges-
ton, and mortified at his personal ap-
pearance, he attempted suicide. Kind
friends interposed, and induced him to
try Sandaline. The effect was wonder
full. His blood became purilie /, diges-
ton improved, appetite was restored
all the organs resumed their functions,
and his mind completely recovered its
balance. The eruption on his face en-
tirely disappeared, his natural coIaeli-
ness returned, and he now enjoys per-
feet health. 1t is the simplest and
surest remedy ever known. Sandaline

eruptions and other unnatural dis

PURLIC OPINION.


10 u5 E9itoF OF he Herall'-The re-
cent death Of William Lloyd Garrison
has called forth a series Of eul0giums
which would seem almost 70 eonssf up
on tins DEPARTED tie tile to Sainthood.
|Certairly wo would not wish to see
plucked nom that brow n single plume
OF well-nerltcd honor. His life was an
earnest and a fearless battle against
oppression. lie lived to see the first
object of his efforts accomplished-the
absolute emancipation of the slave on
American soil.-And in his departure
he needs not that any man should go
beyond the strict truth Of the casein his
vindication.
William Lloyd Garrison was a man
of violent extremes. Senator. Dawes
has said that with him ''the world was
divided into two forces-right and
wrong. But many other minds hold
that it is impossible to draw all ques'
tons which agitate men to-day up to
this plane of morality-to the tribunal
+ of right and wrong-Garrison famed
i the flames of sectional hatred, and at
/ last, they burst forth into the horrors
OF civil war. The Southern Leaders
viewed the question of slavery as &
political matter-in the light of the Con
stitution of the United es.-Garri
son insisted that it was a moral question
and preached to them sermons on thu
equality of man. The South was exas
perated at this self-constituted preach
er of self-eonstituted righteousness
The war came; and with it came thu
SHOCK which broke the shackles o
Slavery. We do not forget this. Tt
cut off the hand may be a radical cur
for whitlow but we generally prefer
milder treatment.

is usually the safer course.

HOG CHoLERA-A CURE.-I have
read many articles in newspapers and
journals, about hog cholera, and have
waited to see if a remedy could be found
which would prove satisfactory. l will
relate briefly my experience, hoping ii
will prove of benefit to others. During
the war just prior to the fall of New
Orleans, purchased from Texas drover
one hundred heavy meat hogs which av-
erage two hundred pounds net. The
weather being warm, l put them in a
fattening pen and thought 1 would wait
for cold spell to kill them. Not more
than week elapsed when noticed thai
several appeared sluggish and sick, and
in very few days after / had to throw
nineteen out dead. Others looked as
though they were affected with the same
disease. / had the whole lot turned into
large wood pasture hoping that they
might be benefited by change, but the
disease spread among the hogs had
raised, and at least one hundred pigs
shoats and sows died.

pasture AID the stock minder was direc,
ted to put six bushels of corn in the ear,
to add one-half of unslacted lime and to
fill the kettle with water, and to cook the
corn about half done. This made q
good thick whitewash, and with the lime
all coated over the ears, it was thrown
out to the hogs (about three hundred) and
was greedily eaten by them; we contin,
ued this for week, feeding every even
ing, and did not lose two hogs after the
first feed. l did not know at the time
what the disease was, but am satisfied by
the description given by numerous wri.
ters, that it was genuine hog cholera.

Is THE Moon INHADITED?-The ques-
tion as to whether the moon is inhabited
by organic beings-if not like those that
live on our own globe, at least of kind
specially adapted by their structure and
nature for existing under the very differ
ent physical conditions that obtain on
our satellite-is one that has attracted
attention for ages. and one, too, that has
been argued pro and con with great abil-
ity by many learned and eminent men.
The opinion of nearly all scientists of the
present day, however, is that the moon is
"dead planet;" and that, inasmuch as
she has but slight and very rare atmos-
phere, and that, as consequence, no
water exists on her surface, she is entire
ly untitled to be the dwelling place of
any organic beings whatever-at least of
any kinds that our minds can form any
conception Of On the other hand, those
who take the opposite view argue Ito use
the words of Dick that "matter appears
to have been created chiefly in subser-
viency to mind; and it is highly improb-
able that the Creator would leave globe
containing a surface of 100000 square
miles altogether destitute Of sensitive and
intellectual beings, especially when we
behold its surface diversified and adorned
with such vast assemblage of pic
turesqe and sublime scenery, and when
we consider that every department con-
nected with our globe is peopled with
sentient beings of every description. AL
though seas and rivers and dense at
mosphere are not to be found connected
with the lunar orb, and although some of
its arrangements are different from those
of the earth, yet these circumstances
form no valid objection to the moon be.
ing inhabited, for the Creator can in ..all
cases adapt the inhabitant to the nature
of the habitation provided for him, as he
has adapted the birds for winging their
flight through the air, the fishes for
gliding in the water, and man and quad
rupeds for travelling the dry land"

THE FATAL GLAss.-Mr. Chica, of
Lensburg, LIE Sueur county, got on a
spree last week, Monday, at Montgomery,
and offered to wager that he could swal-
low the glass contained in whisky flask
The wager was taken up by one of the
party present, whereupon the drunken
man proceeded to swallow the pulverized
glass, and also tallow candle. Strange
to relate, that night he felt no i'll effects
caused by the rash deed, but next day
the glass began to cut and grind his bow.
els, compelling the man to writhe and
scream in agony. This continued until
Thursday morning, when the poor wretch
was brought to New Prague in the delu-
sive hope that a physician could save
him from his inevitable and fast ap-
preaching death. Of course no physi-
clans skill could now save or even pro-
long the life which had been so delibe-
rately though unknowingly taken. 1t
was pitiful and heartrending to hear the
poor mortal moan and scream in agony
as the death dealing glass slowly out
constantly cut its way into the vitals.
This could not long continue, however,
and death kindly relieved the suffering
man Thursday afternoon. A post NOR
tenn examination was held and the mans
stomach and intestines were found to be
literally ground to pieces.
A wife and nine children are left de-
pendent by the foolishness of a man

timely warning to those addicted to the

its final effects as that swallowed by the
man who came TO so untimely an end.

"Fifteen Cents Off,"

A Detroiter who dresses well and has
a reasonable share Of good looks, had oc-
casion last week 10 make trip in the
country, and one night he found himself
at farmhouse at which party was to
come off. He was invited to participate
in the festivities, and after he had con-
sented, the old farmer took him around
the corner of the house and said:
"The young folks are mighty fond
of any game with kissing in it,
They'll get up something and fix it to
make you kiss the handsomest gal in the
room."
"Well, I'll kiss her!' was the prompt
reply. nam,
the old man. "There's my gal Emma.
We think she's as purity as any of 'em;
certain folks around here kinder sniff at
her cause her nose crooks bit and her
hair is q trife high-colored. Now, l
want you to kiss En- for the Eandsomest
gal in the room. It'll do the old woman
good, do En- good, and kinder set these
sniffers back little. l don't ask you to
kiss her for nothing, but if you'll do it
I'll throw fifteen cents oif'n your bill in
the morning. What dye say?"
The young man said he'd do it, and
the father continued:
"That's the checker. Don't have any
make believe about it, but kiss her right
pop out, so that we kin all hear the
smack"
The game WAS played, the Detroiter
was "fxed," and he kissed "Em" like the
pop of a pistol. He felt all the happier
for it that night, to see how greatly the
old woman was pleased, but the next
forenoon as he logged along he had to
run the gauntlet Of score of farmers
sons waiting in the fence corners to lick
him because he passed their "gals" by
for EN-" He was struck by thirteen
stones, six clubs and about bushel of
potatoes before he got out of the neigh
borhood, and when he came to figure up
he realized that fifteen cents was no in
ducement at all.-Detrot Free Press.
