in the form of pill, make a very handy
and very excellent tonic. Again, we
have in the graduated carbonate Of iron
of the shops a most valuable tonic, es-
pecially for anemic females, or indeed
for the delicate of either sex. II the di-
gestive powers are pretty good, 1 should
also recommend trial of the green iron
mixture; dose, one to two ounces twice
q day.
may here observe that though many
medical men advise the taking of tonic
remedies three times instead of twice a
day, think it safer for you to be con-
tent with two doses day, morning and
aftern DON, for toward night the diges-
ton is not so strong, and tonics are
therefore more likely to disagree. The
citrate of iron and quinine is capital
TOXIC chalybeate, and may be taken for
q long time without producing consti-
patton; it is also good appetizer.
Phosphorus here claims a word or
two. 1t is very excellent tonic RENE
dy, and exerts its influence especially
on the nervous system and on the vas
cular; it quickens the pulse after
time, increases the temperature of the
skin, braces and gives tone to the nerves,
and exhilarates both mind and body.
There is n kind of atomic dyspepsia
with irritability of the stomach, without
any actual disease, but resulting in the
vomiting of the food some time after it
has been taken. This complaint is
greatly ameliorated by five grain doses
of purified ox-bile made into the form
of pill. 1t is remedy well worthy of
a trial.

An example Of the way in which the
strong prey upon the weak is noted in
the finale Of the disgraceful educational
frauds that have been perpetrated in
California through the brokerage and
aud sale ofquestions prepared for the ex-
animation Of applicants for teachers
certificates. The san Francisco .SD5rif
Of tie Times says:
To is safe to presume the end 6f the
public school disgrace has been reached,
and the whole force Of the Indignation
the Board Of Education has been ex-
pended In dppriving four or five women
Of the means Of earning livelihood, be-
cause their necessities were preyed upon
by undisguised scoundrels and villains.
who have been allowed To 20 scot free.
The ~ hole thing savors Of abiect coward
ice, IL not of crime. Moore said the
Board Of education would not dare 10 ex-
pei him, because 10 they did he could
bring down too many in the ruin, and
he was allowed to escape, to avoid arrest
for perjury, and his expulsion was sub
sequeut 90 his departure. IL the few
women who have been thrust out Of the
department are sufficient sacrifice To
offer up on the altar of injured public in
nocence, all right, We can stand it il
the public can, Gut we say that thus
far tue action has been cDwardly.
The men malefactoTs in the dirty aud
disgraceful business have been hedged
around aud ABOUT 10y protective diviu-
ity that has secured them from molesta-
ton, aud we rejoice iu exceeding glad
ue--, for The honor OF our sex, that not a
man bias been punished IN the whole
wretched public school calamity, but
that five unprotected, baTd-wOrking
women, who permitted themselves TO
be robbed, in order 10 prevent starva-
tiuu, or something worse, have been
severely punished for their acts. We
hope 10 may always be thus; because il
establishes the claims of our sex for gal
lautry, chivalry and sympathy, pariicu-
larry where woman-kiud is interested.

tered that there are not men enough ia

EXECUTIVE OLBMBYCY.

a petition is in circulation, and we
learn is being numerously signed, pray
ing Governor Thayer TO commute the
sentences Of Brown and johnson, the
O'Shea robbers, now awaiting the exc
cution Of the death sentence in the
county Jail, to imprisonment for life.
We sincerely hope the prayer Of these
petitioners will be granted. The rub-
lie safety demands the lifelong impris-
onment Of the culprlts, but the death
penalty is a relic Of barbarism, not one
whit better In its moral effects upon the
than was the original MUIR
der itself. But. even granting the legal
murder were right in some cases this
certainly has palliating features which
ought to be considered. The murder, as
every one knows, was not Intentionally
committed; aud to US, as well as to
nearly every person we meet, 1t IS
clearly a case that justly appeals to ex-
eeutive clemency.

AFTER AN HUNDRED YEARS.

The present is the one hundredth ses-
sion Of the Massachusetts Legislature.
High time indeed to have governor
Of that great commonwealth recognize
the fact that within his jurisdiction are
a large number Of disfranchised citizens,
thousands Of whom not only support
themselves and families by manual Ia
Dor, but contribute their proportion to
the taxes which support the general
government. So evidently thought
Governor Talbot when be penned the
following paragraph in his message to
the Legislature:
The claims OF women 20 the right of suffrage
have too firm a basis in natural justice, and
TOO many earnest and able advocates, 10 be
thrust lightly aside. Il seems only reasonable
and Iair that these claims should be laid before
the people for acceptance or rejection, In the
form OF "A constitutional amendment, mus
transferring their examination and discussion
from the Legislature, which can ill spare The
time, 10 a wider arena, and remitung them al
once for decision 70 the final tribunal
When it is considered that a majority
of the people of Massachusetts are
women, il seems a little strange that
legislature supposed to be sent to the
capital TO legislate for the greatest good
to the greatest number "can so i'll spare
the time" to examine and discuss a
principle or proposition upon the issue
Of which the political life Of this same
majority depends; principle which in
the opinion Of the Governor of the State
is one that "has too firm a basis in nat
ural justice to be lightly thrust aside"
II the men composing legislative body
have not the time to spare TO investigate
and decide intelligently upon the claims
OF women, then surely it is high time
that women were allowed a seat in that
body, that their interests may not be
longer so flagrantly neglected
Let US hope that this proposition Of
Governor Talbot may come in the form
Of a lesson to President Hayes, and con-
stitute one Of the "head-lights" to the
great engine Of State which now sub
mits to his guiding hand, Illuminating
the track as he proceeds, so that he may
not set himself to the task Of preparing

markable, or scarcely above the merest

the following stanzas:

Star-like mid grasses and MOSES. contrasting
Brightly with purple wood a,ters. You
