Eloquent and Truthful Words.

At the recent Massachusetts, Republi-
can State Convention, Senator Hoar
spoke as follows:
CAL we ask for the South is, Come
out from the tomb. Look at the living,
not at the dead. Think of the future,
not of the past; or at least think with
us of the Revolution, and not of the Re-
bellion.' Ii our Southern brethren will
show us any way to promote their moral
and material prosperity, no one of their
representatives will do it any quicker
than you. But we will not permit them
to wipe out the results of the war. God
will take care of the negro as he did of
the Jew, as He did of all that are desc
late and oppressed. He will take care
of him as He did of the Jew, even if
He again sends His pillar of fire to lead
him through another Red sea. For the
first time in thirty years the Democratic
party has majority in each branch of
Congress. What is resolved in the
Democratic caucus is relentlessly exc
cuted by the party. Their policy is to
rivet chains on both white and black
Republicans. They mean to destroy
the honesty of their own elections
They will paralyze the army and the
financial future of the country. Every
Southerner in Congress has voted for
initiation; these men who talk of State
rights and prattle of local self-govern-
ment, that they may use every local bal
lot-box as they please, are the same men
who in 1860 strained the Government
to it's utmost. The Democrats IN 1861
attempted to starve out Fort Sumter,
and lately they have been trying the
same game on the Executive Depart
ment, with this essential difference,
that they had Hayes and not Buchanan
in the Presidential chair. All the is
sues Of the last twenty years are to be
concentrated on the struggle of 1880.
All the questions of vital interest to
the nation are at stake. Never was a
greater stake to be fought for by peace
full combat"

est. The amount offered in that month ex-
ceeded $500, 100000, and there was one day
when the amount offered was $159,O00,OOO
Let the policy of extinguishing the national
debt be adhered to. Let it be the fixed pur-
pose of the people and all who administer the
Government to pay off the debt within thirty
three years.
It can be done by economy and prudence,
without material increase of the burdens of
the people. The payment of s33, COO, 900 a year
upon the principal of the debt, OF into sink
ing fund for that purpose, will, within thirty
three years. leave us free from debt as ma
tion.
That which is sound policy in national and
State affairs, in regard to public debts, is, I
believe, also wise policy in local affairs and in
private affairs. Let it be everywhere adopted,
IN public and private, and we may welcome
the advancing tide of better times, confident
that we have found the secret that will pro-
long their stay, and which viii go far to make
as independent in that, trust, distant day,
when financial panic may again strike down
the general prosperity.

Determination That the Fruits OF the
War Shall Be Preserved.

The following is extracted from an
editorial in the New York San, a vio-
lent Democratic paper. Coming from
such source, it is of no small import
ance, and is especially commended to
those dough-faces who are continually
charging the Republican party with re-
viving war issues and war memories:
"The acquittal of Gully in Missis-
sippi, in the face of Mrs. Chisolm's
clear and positive testimony, will exert
no little influence on the approaching
Presidential election. It is easy to say
that it has no more bearing on national
affairs than the undue postponement of
the Rev. Mr.. Hayden's trial in Conecti-
cut. But most of the Northern people
do not look at it in that way. They
regard the bloody outrages at the
South, like that by which Mr.. Chisolm
died, as proofs that the war is not yet
entirely fought out-that it's victories
are not yet complete; and they are nat
urally apprehensive that, if the Demo
cratic party, which includes the former
Confederates almost to man, were to
get control of the Executive Depart
nlent of the Government, such outrages
would increase in number, and that
Union men in the old slave States would
find life hardly endurable, even if pos
sible. We believe the American people,
by large majority, are determined, first
and foremost, that the fruits of the
war shall be fully preserved, and that
the slaveholding spirit shall never be
permitted to rule the nation again.
They care more for this than they do
for the currency or any other question.
Hence arises the most formidable diff
Guilty in the election of a Democratic
candidate. THE San here quotes that
portion of Mrs. Chisolms testimony de-
scribing the death of her daughter Cor
nelia; and adds: Sneering at the
bloody shirt will not counteract the
effect of scenes like this, faithfully de-
scribed. They rekindle the spirit which
raised and sustained the Union armies
in the war; and politicians who think
this spirit will down at the first bidding
do not understand its power"
The Kenosha telegraph. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1860-1888, 1879-10-02
Stuttal'ings

Mr.. Edgar S. Werner recently read
before the Albany Institute paper on
this subject. Mr.. Werner himself was,
at one time, afflicted with this terrible
disease, and he says that parents almost
invariably treat suffering child with
much severity, and thus, by frightening
him, increase his malady, or spoil him
utterly by too much leniency. The
proper manner in which to treat such
children is thus described: In nothing
is the adage, IAN ounce of prevention
is worth pound of cure" more appi-
cable than in suffering. Indeed, in
this instance, an ounce of the one is
more effective than a hundredweight of
the other. Children with suffering
tendencies should be especially well
nourished; they should take a great
deal of physical and outdoor exercise;
care should be taken that their lungs
are fully developed and that their nerves
are not irritated. Late hours and
bighly-seasoned food, and everything
tending to derange, weaken or unduly
excite, mentally or physically, should be
avoided. The child should not be al
lowed to talk too rapidly or when out
of breath. II he has trouble with a
word he should De asked to repeat the
whole sentence and not merely tina
offending word. Oftentimes serious
mistake is made here. The child is
drilled upon his most difficult words,
and he comes to fear them, and, as q
result, his ability to articulate them is
continually lessened. He should not
bepermitted to associate with another
suffering child; indeed, no child
should. Inveterate suffering may be
caused by mimicking others. Through
out, the child should be subjected to
| kind but firm treatment.

THE Italian Government is about to
construct a large observatory on Mount
Etna. A site has been selected at a
height of 1852 feet above the level Of
the sea, near the Casa degr Inglesi.
The purity of the atmosphere is so
great at this elevation that the planets
can be observed with the naked eye al
most as we'll as with telescopes of low
power through the thick atmosphere Of
towns. Venus, when shining alone in
the heavens, casts a distinct shadow.
This will be the second loftiest OBJ
servatory in the world, the United
States signal station at Pixies peak, in
Colorado, at an elevation of 14,336 feet,
being the Hottest station.

LYONS shot Van Doren in self-defense
at Vevay, Ind, last year, but did not
kill him. They lived on adjoining
farms, and so had the conveniences for
keeping the quarrel going. The re-
spective families became involved in
the feud, and fought frequently. Sew
eral vexatious lawsuits were instituted.
Lyons son said that his father had
needlessly bungled the job in shooting
Van Doren, and proposed to undertake
it himself. He lay in wait by the road
side for Van Doren, who was coming
from the village on horseback, and,
when his victim got opposite, coolly
rested gun across the fence, took aim
very deliberately, and shot him through
the brain. II guess that was a success"
the murderer remarked as he and a
neighbor examined the dead man.

The Prince of Battenberg, now Alex
ander T., of Bulgaria, is very popular
with his new subjects, PARTICULAR with
the gentler sex, who call him ''Wubo-
Xmas" the handsome Prince. His first
innovation has been in the culinary di-
rection. Cooks, male and female, and
large quantities of supplies and utensils
for an artistic kitchen have been Or
dered from Vienna. To help him en-
Joy the good things of life, many of the
friends of his youthful days have taken
up their residence with him. They
viii also assist in the organization of
the Bulgarian army and in the admin
istration of the Government, and from
the Austrian capital number of noble
ladies have also come to show what
style and etiquette at royal court
should be.

ONE of the most suggestive papers
read before the Social Science Associa-
ton at Saratoga was by Mr.. Hamilton
A. Hill, of Boston, who urged the i'm
portance of larger representation OF
business men in the Government of
the country. He stated that the Presi-
dent, Vice President, the Cabinet
members with one exception, five
seventies of the Senators, and three
fourths of the Representatives are law
yers. There is great need of business
ways and habits in Congress, as well as
of a regard for the business interests OF
the country, which congressman COM
monty do not have.

GEN. WALKER intends that the enum-
orators for the next census shall number
one to every 1000 inhabitants, instead
of one to every 10000, as formerly, and
quicker work correspondingly will be
made of it. He recommends that per-
sons peculiarly fitted to know the pop
ulation be selected, as Assessors, Post
masters in small places, school-mas-
ters and country physicians. In Ger
many and England, the school-masters
are very much relied upon in taking the
census, being we'll fitted by their daily
habit of precise listing and registering.

Scarlet Fever i'm New York.

Two thousand deaths from scarlet
fever last year in New York is what
Prof. Chandler lately reports equal to
the total mortality from yellow fever in
the whole Union last year. This is not
a pleasant statement to reflect upon.
Our public schools must be held re-
sponsible for large share of the propa-
cation of this dreadful malady It is a
significant fact that, as soon as the pub
lie schools are closed for the summer
vacation, the mortality from scarlet
fever diminishes. It continues at a low
rate through the summer, but with the
reopening Of the schools the death-rate
rises again, and soon assumes high
average. The prudent course pursued
by the Brooklyn Health Board in pre-
venting conyalescent children from at.
tending school until they have fully
recovered, and of the forbidding public
funerals in all cases of contagious dis
eases, has been productive of excellent
results. The sources of scarlet fever
are less understood than they should
be, and it seems an imputation upon
the intelligence of both our sanitarians
and physicians that means for it's better
prevention have not been devised.

A YOUNG italian, who had been de-
ceived and robbed by an elder brother,
recently committed suicide in Rome.
This brother was married man and
had boy. Now, the younger brother,
from the moment that his elder brother
deceived and robbed him, knew no
peace of mind for an intense tempta-
ton to kill his brothers child. To es-
cape this temptation he determined to
kill himself. And kill himself he did.
He went to be one night with bottle
of ether and wine-glass by his bed
side. He began by taking one wine
glass of the ether, and then wrote his
impressions. He thought that perhaps
he would repent of his wish to kill his
brothers. child. But, on the contrary,
in proportion as lie doubled his doses
the wish increased, and at the end of
each phrase he repeated: 81 have still

KENOSHA, WIS, OCT. 2, 1879.

The cotton crop this year will be
100000 bales more than ever before,
the tobacco crop 100000 pounds more
than ever before, and the sugar crop
100000 hogsheads more than ever be-
fore. That does pretty well for show
ing of Southern prosperity, and the
North can match it with an account of
100000 bushels of wheat and 80,OO0,-
900 to 1OO,OOO,O0O bushels of corn more
than ever before. Of all the fat years
in the history of the nation, the year
1879 is the fattest.

light fOrned

That ight-formed thoroughbred
horses, with "tobacco-pipe" legs, are
capable of galloping under enormous
weights has often been substantiated,
and there are many turfmen now living
who can remember that the late Ad-
miral Rous, who to the last retained
the vivacity and spirit of boy, rode
the Duke of Bedford's Mahratta over
the Beacon course at Newmarket in a
match against time. Dressed in the
blue jacket of a tar, and weighing no
less than seventeen stone, the Admiral,
following the lead of the celebrated
Jockey, Frank Butler, who preceded
him on a pony, had no difficulty in
winning the G200 wagered by Lord Glas-
gov, and it was generally remarked that
at the end of his long gallop Mahratta,
a long-legged, shelly animal, showed
very few symptoms of distress.
