COL. BOB lNaERsoLL.
WHAT HE SAYS OF HIS FEELINe TOWARD
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.

Col. Tngersoll, recently at Cincinnati, was
interviewed as to his feelings toward the
Republican party. In the course of the
interview occur these passages 4
Rep.-Then, IL understand you rightly,
you have not deserted the Republican par
ty, but may again give it the help of your
eloquent voice? s.,.s q.

can party. and has never fought it. 'i'' n
Col. I.-.No; if they will help me or
help the cause of human rights, | win help
them with all my might. But as for po-
litical speaking, do not banker after it.
From 1868 until 1875 I took no part in
politics whatever, and did not intend to
+agaiE make political speech, but was
drawn by circumstances into the last Pres
idential campaign.
Rep,-What do you think of Blaine now
as candidate for the next Presidential
contestS Will the success Of the Maine
election secure him the nomination.
Col. LII think he ought to be nomina-
ted and believe he can be elected.
Rep-Do you think he could do any
more ID the way Of enforcing the law and
maintaining the rights of white and col
ored Republicans In the South than Presi-
dent Hayes has done?
Col. LII think he would do as much as
any man. like Blaine personally very
much, and I hope the Republican party Of
the United States will adopt a platform
upon which all Liberals can stand. Mr..
Blaine and I do not agree ON some religious
questions, but think he is man broad
enough in his views to see that all should
have equal rights before the law, whatever
their religious opinions. Ifhe is not, am
not for him. I never will vote for another
man in my life for any Office. however
great or however small, who Ia not in favor
of giving to every other other human be-
ing every right that he claims for himself.

DEAR SIR: Your letter of the 4th inst,

acknowledgment had been made of the
receipt of letter of July II, inclosing
resolutions of your association, is received.
Upon inquiry, find that the resolutions
referred to came during my absence from
the city, and by neglect we're not acknowl-
edged. After reading them take great
pleasure in repairing this oversight by ex-
pressing my hearty obligations to the
Union soldiers of New Orleans for the
kindly mention of my name in connection
with 30 great an Office, and for the fiatter-
ing manner in which this mention is made.

The railroad rule that the through rate
over the longest distance shall be always
less than way rate over a shorter distance
has its fullest play at San Francisco, q
place at the end of the longest single line
in the country. To send a pound Of tea
from Yokohama to San Francisco costs two
cents, to carry it ON to Salt Lake City five
cents, if it goes q 1000 miles father to
Chicago the rate is three cents from Yoko-
hama, and if the tea goes clear through to
New York or Boston the rate from its
starting point is but two and half cents.
The same thing holds good on west bound
freight. The rate from New York to San
Francisco is so much cheaper than from
Chicago that on some articlss it pays to
ship them east Co New York and then west
on the through rate. The rate from New
York TO the Pacific coast, 5000 miles, ia 10
per cent. less than the rate from Ogden
over the last 1000 miles of the Same road.
A consignment of spirits from Louisville,
Ky. to Arizona recently passed through
San Francisco paying less freight for the
whole distance than the amount charged
on way freights from San Francisco to
ARIZONA. The same thing is trne in regard
to the rates to 8 number Of points in Cali
fornia, and the fact that San Francisco
merchants found their own Geld commanded
BY eastern merchants shipping at through
rates explains the strong feeling all over
California against the Central Pacific rail-
road. Springfield Republican.

lEPRovED ORE STAMP.-J. j. Wait, Of
Oreana, has invented new ore stamp for
which he has applied for patent. The
improvements consist of q hollow stamp
stem, in combination with guide rod,
making the construction of the stamp
cheaper and the stamp less liable to get out
of order than those now in. use in quartz
chrushing batteries. The inventor also
claims that the stamp can be run with less
power than the old stamp, and that any OF
the stamps In the battery can be taken out
and repaired without interfering with the
others. Tie 4appets are SO constructed
that tits impossible for them to slip. The
wooden guides, which mill men have long
regarded asa nuisance, are dispensed with
altogether, and only one bolt has TO DO re~

Concerning Aresthstics.

Il is not merely pain as such which we
seek to prevent by anesthetics, nor js it
always we'll for man to endure the pain
of an operation because he feels that he
can nerve himself to it without finching.
As DR.. Tidy we'll said in paper he lately
read before o medical society In London,
anesthetics are given "to diminish nervous
and mental taxi" and this means good
deal more than the simple avoiding of
bodily pain. Anesthetica. diminish this
nervous and mental tax by allaying the
apprehension and fear Of an operation. The
degree Of this apprehension and the con-
seqnent harm it does vary much with diff
ferent temperaments. Hence an anesthetic
may be- more needed by one person who is
going to have tooth pulled than by
another who is going to have leg cut of.
In many cases the suffering from anticipa-
tion of the pain is far worse than the pain
itself. Moreover, the insensibility to pain
during the operation also diminishes this
nervous tax. 1t is sometimes said that sfno

for people sometimes do die of pain. It
must be borne in mind that, with adyanc-
ing civilization. the nervous system be-
comes more sensitive to pain. The use Of
anesthetics Is therefore, more necessary
among cultivated nations in this nineteenth
century than It would have been among the
less susceptible people Of former time. 1t
may be said that there 10 q risk In the en-
employment of anesthetics, but this is SO
insignificant when weighed against the
benefits derived from them that it cannot
be seriously urged as an objection to their
use. sIt is, however, sufficient reason
why they should not be intrusted to ignor-
ant or anskillfnl hands. It may be ques-
tion wether they should ever be adminis-
tered except under the direction Of Q regu-

But lovelier then any bud or blossom was
the face of the fairest of the lady guests,

tresses coiled and simply braided at the
back, the statue lovely features, the glow

wonderful sapphire blue of the large, ex.
pressive eye, set in long, jetty lashes, my
pen might rival the pencil of Cabanel. The
young lady is said to greatly resemble the

but her features are much more finely cut,
and possess degree of animation and

The Scientists Limits.
Popular Science Monthly.

Popular Science Monthly.
1t must be ever borne in mind that the
scientist, as scientist. has nothing to do
with the metaphysics; or theological impli-
cations Of the words he uses. He employs
them, as we have endeavored to point out,
simply and purely to designate the occur
renee Of phenomena in a certain order
which, could we sufficiently magnify our
powers of observation, would be presented
to our sensation in unequivocal terms.
When the scientist transcends these limits,
and then only, be is going beyond the
bounds Of science. The temptation to
stroll about. regardless Of limits, ia often
great, and the scientist. like most of his
kindred, frequently indulges in these aber-
rations. When thus found he is entitled
to no consideration on account of any soy
ereignty he may claim to exercise In his
usual habitat. and il oyerthrown, may be
drawn and quartered at the wili Of his vic
torious enemy without rem emonstTance
being uttered by his fellow-scientists. He
thus occupies dual position--in one the
Kno wiedge he possesses gives to his asser-
tions q certain authority and to his
hypotheses certain probability OF which
they are devoid in the other.

Care Of Plants In Winter.

Slips should be cut smoothly from the
plant just below joint, or where they
join the main stem. Any time during the
growing season will do, though July,
August, and September are the best
months. Most slips stand well in sand, or
a mixture Of half aud half soil, kept wet.
II wanted for the house in winter, it is
better to stand the slips Ia smsH pots sunk
in the ground, as they can be laft in the
pots or transferred to larger enes without
disturbing the roots. Oieanders, honey
suckle, southwood, and some other plants
are best started in vial of water on a
partly shaded window sill putting piece
of cotton around the stem at the neck of
the vial, both to steady and protect the
plant, and prevent too rapid evaporation.
Plants for the house in winter will not do
we'll in smaller than four or five inch pots.
Place saucer under each. Water every
day toward night, patting on water till
some of itruns through into the saucer.
The water should always be tepid, and once
week few drops of ammonia or liquid
manure should be added to each quart of
water. Do not water if the soil is still
moist; some plants do not need as much
water as others. A little top watering only
does more harm than good; the water
should all 60 to the roots After January
they will need more water, as then they be-
gin to grow; before that most plants simply
live. Cactases and aloes should have no
water In early winter; they must rest if
you wish then. to bloom well later. Keep
callas standing in water. Keep the pots
and leaves clean by frequent washing.
Plants will not thrive il dusty. Some
plants do better In glazed pots or wooden
boxes. the common pots being SO porus as
to extract all the moisture from the roots.
If you simply wish to keep slips for next
years garden, fill starch box with sandy
soil, set number Of slips ia it, keep wet
and in sunny window.
