The RhHsical Paradox.

1t has been said that "the blood is the source
of lfe." 1t is as truly the source of disease
and death. No life, that is to say. no healthy
| tissue can be generated from impure blood, nc
organ of the body can normally perform its
functions when supplied with impure blood
The fluid that should carry life and health to
every part, carries only weakness and disease.
Blood is the source or life, only when it is pure.
If it has become diseased, it must be cleansed
| by proper medication, else every pulsation of
the human heart sends wave of disease
through the system. To cleanse the blood of
| all impurities, use Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery and 2 easant Purg alive Pellets the
most effectual Alternative, tonic and cathartic
remedies yet discovered. They are especially
efficient in scroftlous diseases.
WHEN neglectful of the duty assigned to it by
nature, that of secreting the bile. the liver
should be disciplined with DR.. Motifs Vegetable
Liver Pills, which Will speedily remedy its mac
ton and stimulate it TO a vigorous performance
of its secretive function. Constipation, which
is an inYarlable accompaniment of liver disor-
der, is always overcome by this ti-bious
cathartic, and indigestion, chronic and acute, il
completely cured by it. All druggists sell it.

OF Advantage to Painters.


1t ia not as generally known as it should be
that Messrs. ]. L. Patton q Co., of Milwaukee,
have effected quite an Improvement in the
manufacture of paints. As the season OF re-
painting is approaching, painters and house
holders will be interested in the new process
and its advantages. The firm have demon
strated by actual test that white lead and celors
ground together are more permanent in color
than If the same material We're mixed, as ordi-
narily, without grinding. Their paints in this
form are not liquid, but paste, to be prepared
for use as ordinary white lead. One gallon and
a half of linseed oil to twenty-five pounds of
this lead makes mixture ready for use.
Beside the merit Of durability. these coIored
leads of the firm have that of uniformity of
shade, so that the user may at any time order a
new supply. and be assured of exactly the same
tint.
Messrs. Patton & Co. have just issued a
pamphlet containing specimens of the different
colors, both original and mixed, and directions
as to the quantity required for any particular
purpose. They are old and experienced manu-
facturers Of white lead, oils and putties, and are
widely known to the trade for the excellence of
their stock and their considerate treatment of
patrons. Asout year ago they commenced
the manufacture of varnishes-a new enter
prise in this state-in which they are also very
successful, having overcome many of the OBJ
jections to the general run OF varnishes in the
market. In connection with their manufac-
lures they carry large stock of painters ma
terlal and window glass. All in need Of colored
lead or of any other material IN their line, and
cannot obtain them from the dealers in the
town in which they live, will receive prompt
attention by addressing this house, $685. 270

Congress and Notification.

Congress forces upon the President
and the country sharply defined issue.
Fortunately all DISCUSSES and complica-
tions were stripped off in the Senate,
and the naked question presented is
this: Can one House nullify law of
the United Statesp For if the right Is
coextensive with the physical power,
one House can prevent an appropria-
ton of money as we'll as both Houses;
and if law of the United States can
be nullified by the refusal of an appro-
priation required by that law for its en-
forcement, either House can nullify a
law, though it requires the assent of
both Houses and the President, oP of
both Houses by a twO-thirds vote, to
repeal that law. 1t was distinctly de-
clared in the Senate that the intent of
the Judicial Appropriation bill was to
refuse money for the enforcement of
the election law. 1t is mere trick to
say that the election law would not be
really deprived of force, if the appro-
priations should fail. That is true;
patriotism would supply ample means
for the enforcement of the law. So
armies to put down rebellion would
still be found and maintained, if a
traitorous Congress should refuse all
appropriations for an army, and should
then head a rebellion. But the refusal
would be reasonable all the same. And
the refusal of any other appropriation
required by law of the United States
for its enforcement is equally a defiance
of law and reasonable attempt to
subvert the Government of law under
which we live.
This question is new one. 10 is
true that there have been Congresses
before, which have sought to prevent
the abuse of law by attaching condi-
tions to appropriations of money. This
is a different case. The attempt OF
Congress is not to prevent aTeal or al
legged abuse of law, for it has made
no effort to amend the law itself. The
attempt is to defeat the law entirely, 70
defeat it's original and proper purpose
to deprive it of vitality by refusing the
money which that law contemplates as
requisite for its enforcement. Never
before has Congress of the United
States thus tried to nullify law which
it has not power to repeal. And, as
has been said, if the right so to nulhfy
law exists at all, it exists in either
House separately, because either can
prevent the passage of an approprla.
| ton bill. This controversy originated
in refusal of the House alone to ap-
propriate money which the Senate de-
sired to appropriate. Hence, the ques
ton at issue, strictly stated, is this
Has either House of Congress the right
to nullify law OF the United StatesP
OF course, the physical power exists
As Mr.. Blaine pointed out, either House
has the physical power to disorganizt
the Government. So the President
may have physical power to make him
self Dictator. None the less, it woult
be usurpation and reasonable outrag'
for him to exercise dictatorial power

A Subterranean River.

Says the Winnemucca (Nev.) Silver
State: IS. w. Hammand informs us
that Charles Clark, owner of the Cucth-
man mine, in Central District, found
some Spanish broom growing on the
verge of the desert which extends from
Quin River Valley to the Humboldt.
The broom, which is shrub that
grows about three feet high, and is
covered during the summer with yellow
flowers, is considered by the miners
certain indication of water. AS there
was none of that essential fluid within
eight or ten miles of the mine, Clark
commenced digging well right where
the shrub grew. He and his assistant
sunk about twenty feet below the sur
face, and one evening about quitting
time they dug hole in the center of
the well and broke through crust into
what they believe to be subterranean
river, which filed the well almost in
stantly, and compelled them to abandon
their tools and go to the surface as
speedily as possible. The water is
said to be pure as that from the mount
ain springs, and wholly free from
alkali. This find is of great impor-
tance, not only to the miners of Central
District, but to the owners of cattle
which range on the plains and hills in
the vicinity.

Confederate Records.

Now that the Confederate Democracy
have control not only of the Democratic
party but of both Houses of Congress,
the records of the leaders, both North
and South, are being brought forward
as evidence of their fitness to occupy
the places which they now hold, and
the higher one to which they aspire.
During the years intervening between
the close of the war and the last Presi-
dental election, Senator Thurman ac-
quired some reputation as man of
National views and as a Democrat who
adhered to the financial principles of
the party in its elder, if not its better
days. Discovering, however, that the
new Democracy OF Ohio and the West
generally discarded those principles
and exchanged their hard money doc
trines for those of unlimited soft money,
Mr.. Thurman made haste to mount the
greenback hobby, and to turn his back
upon the principles and professions of
lifetime. This commended him TO
the imitation lunatics, and made his
path TO the Democratic nomination for
the Presidency clear so far as they were
concerned. His next object was TO
commend himself to the late COnfeder-
ates who have risen TO the chief places
of authority, and whose support is es-
sential to success in the Democratic

Democratic Blunders.

If the Democratic party had met in
convention after the inauguration of
President Hayes and appointed COM
mittee consisting of one man (the
shrewdest that could be found) from
each State, with instructions to report
"A programme the execution of which
would work certain and irretrievable
defeat TO the party, they could not have
succeeded better than the party has
done working in committee OF the
whole. This is not partisan utter
ance; it expresses the opinion of very
large per cent. of the Democrats, all
the Liberals and all the Republicans.
The first great blunder was the appoint
ment of the Potter committee, by means
of which the cipher dispatches were
disclosed and authoritatively published.
The Republicans were very confident
that the scheWe had been devised to
secure the Presidency for Mr.. Tilden
by means of fraud and violence, If pos
sible, and il these agencies failed, to
resort 10 open purchase, but without
the aid of the Potter committee they
would have been unable TO trace the
crime to Mr.. Tilden's Gramercy Park
residence and convict him OF a partici-
patton in it. The great mass OF testi-
mony taken by that committee dis
closed nothing to damage the Repub-
lican party; in fact, the party was vim
dicated by the evidence. while the open
propositions made for the purchase OF
Electors and Returning Boards, in the
interest of Tilden and Hendricks, fur
nished campaign material for the next

or for Congress to nullify a law which
il cannot repeal. Either ought to be
resisted to the end, by other branches
of the Government. This Is Govern
ment of law, and every citizen, from
the highest to the lowest in station, is
equally bound to observe and obey the
laws that exist, and to aid their en-
forcement. To resist a law, Congress
has no more rightful power than any
mob. 1t goes beyond its functions as u
Congress of lawmakers, and becomes
an unlawful assembly Of lawbreakers,
whenever il attempts TO set aside law,
or to prevent its enforcement, other
wise than by the constitutional method
of repeal or amendment.
The President will carry with him
the common sense and common patriot
ism of the whole country. if he cuts
straight through all technical kncts
and verbal cloakiDgs to the marrow OF
this business. The vital fact is that an
appropriation bill has been so framed,
of deliberate purpose, as to nullify the
law which Congress is unable TO repeal.
rbis notification bill is therefore vio-
latior of law of the United States,
which is as binding upon Congress as
upon the hu.ublest citizen. Congress
has no rightful power to break law or
to nullify law, and 1T ought to be kept
in session, if need be, t;u doomsday, so
long as that attempt is Continued and
law is disobeyed. Some assistant
Democrats have marshaled many pre-
texts for approval of the Judicial oliii
that its attempted notification wou!u
fail; that the election law will not
need to be enforced, unless in Califor-
mia, until after another session of Con-
gress. The President, there is good
reason to believe, will not be entrapped
by any of these subteffuges. 1t is not
his privilege to pass with indifference
sn attempt to nullify law of the
United States. Nor is there any rea-
son to suppose that it is his disposition.
A veto will not only state to Congress
its duty, but we hope, will place the
matter so clearly and sharply before
the country that every citizen viii tully
understand the attempted 1ulllhcatlon.
Some Democratic leaders fancy that
they can run away from washington
| by the device of a recess until Decem-
ber. Evidently they do not comPre-
hend the power ofthe Executive. He has
the power to summon an extra session at
any time when the public interest may
require one. The proposed unusual re-
cess would not prevent call for an I'M
mediate recess between the first and
second sessions of a Congress. The
language Of the Constitution deserves
notice (Article III, Section 81:
"He may, on extraordinary occa-
sions, convene both houses, or either
of them; and in case of disagreement
between them with respect to the time
of adjournment, he may adjourn them
to such time as he shall think proper
He shall take care tEat the
laws be faithfully executed"
The Constitution is inspired by COM
mon sense. Its trainers did not mean
to have it used as moose to strangle
the Union with. 1t will not serve the
purposes of those who want to nuliify
law any more than it served the pur-
poses of those VINO attempted in 1861
to leave the Government powerless in
the presence of rebellion. Y.

are daily happening here and there. A
Boston butcher ran against knife that
lay on block, severed an artery, and
bled to death. A Denver woman caught
her foot in a railroad frog, and could
not get loose before a train ran over
her. A Vermont farmer sneezed with
a straw in his mouth, drew it into his
lungs, and died choking. A horse
kicked Michigan boy into a deep well,
where he was drowned. The shoe flew
off the foot of kicking mule, in Nash
vile, and fractured the skull of baby.

Eight Minute. Under Water.

A boy seven years of age was seen to
fall from bulkhead iuto the Hudson
River, June 2. After considerable de-
lay youth named Thomas Berry came
to the rescue, and the spot where the
boy sank was pointed out to him. by
plncky dive and long swim under
water he succeeded in recovering the
boy, who had been in the water eight
minutes and was apparently lifeless.
A successful effort was made to resus-
citate him, signs of returning conscious
ness appearing at the end of twenty
minutes. The officers of the patrol OF
the water front pronounced this the
most remarkable case of resuscitatiOn
after long submergenee that had come
