THERE is no likelihood that the next Prcsi

Times.
The plan of the Democrats for counting in
the next President, in case they fail to elect
him in the popular election, does not con-
template an election by the House They
intend to see to it that disputes arise in
reference to the votes Of States enough TO
settle the election. These disputed questions
will be settled by an Electoral Commission,
modelled precisely after the plan of the last
one, with the slight, but sufficient difference
that it will be composed Of eight Democrats
and seven Republicans. The Commission
will decide all disputes in favor of the Demo
cratic candidate, and give him the election.
This plan is sure TO he tried, unless the De
mocrats fairly carrythe election, which they
cannot do; or unless the Republicans carry
the country with rush which leaves no
chance for disputes.

Paper Napkins.

Paper napkins are in increasing de-
mand. A Boston firm has sold some
100000 of them since they were intro
duced, about a year ago. The place of
manufacture of paper napkins is not
divulged. They are said to be all i'm
ported from Japan, but suspicion pre-
walls that some of them are produced
by ingenious Yankee paper-makers, who
are well content to monopolize their
manufacture for the present. The nap
kins are wholesaled at from IS to $40
per 1000, and are retailed at ST. to $3.50
100. A party of 200 or 800 can be
supplied with them at. less expense than
would be requisite to wash and iron a
similar number of napkins. By their
use, also, the host or hostess is relieved
of all fear Of having the table-linen
stolen; and, if an absent-minded guest
does happen to put his napkin in his
pocket after he has finished eating, he
need not suffer any more remorse than
if he had pocketed an apple-core Or a
nutshell.

Roaring In the Ear.

In the current number Of the Med
zeal Record DR.. Hammond says that
when you poke the end Of your finger
in your ear, the roaring noise you hear
is the sound of sthea circulation in your
finger, which is q. fact, as any one can
demonstrate for himself by first putting
his fingers in. his earsand then stopping
them up with any other substance u Try
it, and think what a wonder of ma
chine your body is, that even the points
Of your fingers are such busy workshops
that they. roar Ike a small Niagara.
The roaring is nothing more than the
noise of the circulation of the blood.
It is the voice Of all the vital processes
together the tearing down and build
ing up processes that are always going
forward in every living body, from ~
ception to death.

Moving Day.

!" Moving day, with all its attendant
horrors, will soon be here" said James,
yesterday evening, "and I don't sec
how l am ever to get through with
it. It brings nothing but work, work,
work"
"Why, yes,' replied Grandfather
Lickshingle, it is terrible day for us
poor folks, and no mistake Seem as
how this dre'ful day has rolled around
an battered me over the bald an beet
ling pate upwards of hundred times,
I ought to know little somethin' about
it. Work! Well, I should say SO!
Git up in the mornin' before breakfast,
sit around till it's ready, then eat an
off down town after wagon. And
right here I want to say that the stand
in premium of million dollars iii gold
offered by the United States Govern
ment to the man that finds wagon
when he wants it has never been
claimed. No mortal man ever finds a
wagon without hoofn' round a whole
square, an jest this kind of work is
knockin' years and years Of usefulness
cut of some of our best young men.
Well, after the doggoned wagon is found
you must give the driver your old as
we'll as your new address, as the news
papers say, and that's enough to break
an ordinary mans back. By this time
you're pretty well tagged out, an you
send the wagon to the house while you
go down town about your business, an
your wife finishes up whatever little
odds an ends there may be to do about
the movin'. Oh! it's dreful, dre'ful!
an it raises the blisters on my hands to
think Of it," and grandfather bowed
his aged head on his cane and groaned.

A Word to DOubters.

There is a good old English maxim that
teaches us to believe every man honest until
we know him to be a villain" American GUS
tom seems to have reversed this law and ap-
pears to make every man a villain until he has
proved himself an honest man. AS with peo-
pie, SO with things. Every article placed in
our markets can. lay claim to popular favor
upon intrinsic merit and value alone. Con-
tinued popularity, therefore, is proof positive
of intrinsic excellence. DR.. Pierce's Family
Remedies are far more popular to-day than
ever before. The people have tested them and
know them to be genuine remedies for the dis
eases they are recommended to cure. The
Golden Medical Discovery and Purgative Pei
lets are the best alternative, tonic, and cathartic
remedies that can be used in chronic diseases
of the stomach and liver The worldwide
popularity OF the Favorite Prescription, as a
never-failing remedy for Female Diseases,
would have alone secured to it's discoverer the
fame he has so richly won. DR.. Sage's Catarrh
Remedy, of which Dr. Pierce is also proprie-
tor, is recommended by those who have tested
it's virtues as safe and reliable remedy for Ca
tarrh tn it's worst forms.

A Bad House for BURGLARS.

"Mr. Beecher," said the reporter, "you
have read the account of the killing of
burglar by Capt. Richards, of the Sew
enth regiment. What do you think of
it?"
Entirely justifable!" answered Mr..
Beecher, with emphasis.
Suppose you found a burglar in
your house at night, what would you
do?"
"Shoot him quick as ightning!" ex-
claimed the clergyman, almost fiercely
"Any man who, from motives of perso-
nal safety, allows a burglar to walk
through his house with impunity not
only acts in a cowardly manner, but
violates one of the most sacred duties
he owes to the community. Every
mans house is his castle, not only to
live in, but to defend. I regard him
who fails to defend it in the same light
as I would soldier who, being intrust-
ed with the defense of fort, allows the
enemy unresisted to enter and take pos
session of it, To permit a burglar to
ransack my house is an injustice to the
community, because it holds out
temptation to shiftless young men to
commit burglaries. Experienced cracks
men, of course, will run risks where
there is big prize to be won, but Or
binary robberies are committed by less
fearless men, who would not attempt
them if they knew they would incur the
danger of being killed in the act Now
what could burglar get by coming in
to my house? The things he could
gather up and carry off are such as he
could not sell for more than 500, and do
you think he would risk his life for
that? No, indeed! But, he argues:
'Beecher is clergyman; he would
rather lose twenty watches than take a
mans ife.' Not bit of it. wouldn't
let him take even the pointer of a
watch. And not from mere property
consideration either, but because it is
my duty to defend the sanctity of my
household. My house, where my wife
and children live, shall not be entered
violently by any man except at his
peril. And SO I have tau ght my wife
and all my children to shoot, and any
burglar who enters my house may ex-
pect to be killed"
heoreporter then called Mr.. Beech

scription lists three sizes of revolyers.

yer in the house at midnight is some
