The poisoned-brook horror in Yer
mont assumes another phase. Medical
men declare that the children died Of
diptheria, superinduced by the pools OF
stagnant water under and about the
school house. Correspondents who Wis
tied Jacobs Mill, the scene of the trag-
edy, report a condition of affairs that
seems to carry out this theory.

Wade Hampton has given the Demo
cratic caucus set back by declaring in
his first senatorial speech that if Presi-

vote for the simple appropriations, rath-

or any branch of the government service.
This is healthy talk from one-legged

state University building:
The tin roof was rolled off from the
south slope of the south wing, the north

THE C0MANCHES.
Some Account of Their Life and Habits.

An American who has been study.
ing the life, habits and traits of the Co.
manches, thinks that there are at pres
ent from 10000 TO $4,000, of whom
1900 are warriors. Wholly nomadic.
they have no villages or fixed habita-
tons. but roam and plumber 700 TO 900
miles from north 10 south and zoo
miles from east to west. They own
large herds of horses and mules, obtain
ing horned cattle only for their imme-
date wants, because they cannot drive
them as fast as they want to move. Ali
their animals are procured by robbing
the Mexlcans and Americans, and all
their wars are undertaken more for
plumber Of this sort than for any other
purpose. They never take men pris-
oners, though they kill and scalp them:
but they carry off women and children;
make wives of the former, and rear the
latter as their own. They have never
had any permanent places Of abode as
the absence of all mounds or tumuli in
the territory they range over clearly
proves. They seem to have been born
on horseback, where they do all their
lighting, and in attacking trains they
always endeayOr to stampede the ami
mails by cries and war-whoops-a SIAM
| pede rendering destruction of train
almost certain. If they attack a vii
lage, they kill everybody they encount-
er, and then drive off the stock. The
chiefs Of these Indians do not inherit
their authority but acquire it BY superb
or knowledge, personal bravery, or
success in war. Any social disagree
ment is adjusted by council of chiefs
and seniors of the lodges; but these
disagreements are few, and family
feuds are rare. Indeed they live togeth-
er more harmoniously than many civil
lied people do. Of law they have no
notion, nor have they any conception
of national policy. They never observe
treaties any longer than self-interest
prompts, IN which they resemble most
enlightened people. Their religious
ideas are very crude and indefinite. In
an evil spirit they do not believe. but
ascribe both good and evil to the good
spirit. Their conception of d future
life is indistinct; but they hold
that men who have stolen the most
horses and taken the most scalps
WIllj have the best chance of happy
hunting grounds in another world.
Fire is sacred with them, and used in
all their religious Observances. Ties of
kindred are very strong, and extend not
only to relatives by blood, but by mar
riage. Ofenses against any NJ ember of
family are promptly avenged by all
or any one connected with it. They are

twelve wives. Infdelity on the part of
wife is punished by cutting off the
nose, and the seducer is obliged to give
up his available property to the injured
woman. The husband exercises abso-
lutte dominion over the wife, who does
all the work while he fights and steals.
Going into a fight, they divest them
selves of everything except breech- cloth
and leggings. They call themselves
live, or first-alive, people.

Child Kissing.

Everybody is expected to kiss the
baby. The timid little girl who shrinks
from the profered OSCILLATION is ordered
by her parents to kiss the visitor. The
visitor hasa slight or a severe sore throat.
The diphtheric germs are conveyed to
the lips of the reluctant child, and find
Judgment in the throat. A violent at
tack of diphtheria results and spreads
through the family, usually by the same
direct infection. The heart-broken
mother bows her head to the inscrutable
dispensatioDs of Providence, and Won
ders why her darling should be taken,-
her darling. whom she had kept at
home safely guarded against exposure.
The doctor talks learnedIy about sewer
gas and bad water,-and these may be
the vehicle, but never the origin, of the
contagion,-but the fatal disease was
impaired through the lips of that
thoughtless visitor. Many wise moth
ers will not permit strangers to kiss
their childIen. Their example should
be followed Under the motto, 'God
Bless Our Home" should be suspended

A Valuable Suggestion,

1t is easy to arrest the course of the streamlet
among its native hills. But when it has flowed
a hundred brooks, it is difficult and sometimes
impossible task to arrest the mad torrent OF
waters. Thus it is with disease. In its earliest
languor, drOwSiness, or a slight headache), it is
easy to arrest its progress and secure relief But
when, through Carelessness or neglect it is allow
ed to develop, complications apt to set in and
it is no easy task to arrest it. Our grandmotFers
taught their daughters that stitch in time saves
nine pill in time saves not only nine but
oft times an incaculable amount of suffering as
well. If the system be kept thoroughly cleansed
and strengthened, it is almost invulnerable to
disease. When the first symptoms of disease ap-
pear, two of DR.. Pierce's Purgative Pellets and a
few doses Of the Golden Medical Discovery, to
the blood, will, in almost every instance
arrest the progress of disease and expel it from
the system. Those who have used them arc the
loudest in their praise Their reputation is gem
uiHe. depending upon their merits alone.

Discomfort.

Two boats rocked on the river.
In the shadow of leaf and tree;
One was in love with the harbor;
One was in love with the sea.
The one that loved the harbor
The winds of fate outboTe;
But held the other, longing,
Forever against the shore.
The one that rests on the river,
In the shadow of leaf and tree,
With wistful eyes looks ever
To the one far out at sea.
The one that rides the bIllow.
Though sailing far and fleet,
Looks back to the peaceful river,
To the harbOr safe and sweet.
One frets against the quiet
OF the moss grown shaded shore;
One signs that it may enter
That harbOr never more.
One wearieS of the dangers
Ofthe tempest's rage and wall;
One dreams. amid the lilies,
OF a far-Off snowy sail.
OF all that life can teach us
There's naught so true as this
The winds of fate blow ever,
But ever blow amiss.

can prevent its doing so by increasing its volume

and encouraging assimilation, with that match
less vitalizing agent, Hostetters Stomach Bitters
People net afflicted with any organic Or inorganic
disease, grow wan and haggard simply because
their blood is thin, watery, deficient i'll nourshing
properties and so meager in quantity that the ex-
tremities are very imperfectly supplied with ii,
and the superficial circulation extremely feeble.
Hence the bloodless appearance of the counte.

United States Senate Chamber, Washing
ton, May 17.-Gentlemen have had the
honor to receive your letter of the Sd instant,
covering resolutions Of "a joint caucus OF
the Democratic members Of the General AS
sembly OF the State OF Illinois,"
1t is hardly necessary for me to say that 1
! am in favor OF the perfect freedom OF eiec-
tons from the interference or the presence
OF any part Of the army at the polls. because
that opinion was emphatcally expressed on
the floor OF the Senate.
This is government Of civil authority.
founded on the Constitution and laws made
in pursuance thereof. One Of the grievances
OF which our forefathers complained was
that the King had quartered troops on them
and sought by military power to coerce
them into submission.
1t is little less than public scandal, after
a century OF national existence, that any
party could venture to ask ahe peoples
approval Of a species Of tyranny that is for
hidden in England and wherever else the
parliamentary principle is respected. :, :
