THE Blaine organs are protesting, with

any attempt to impose it upon the conyen-
ton of $780, because one of the candidates
may profit by it, would be a piece OF ras.
cal!y trickery to which Republicans ought
not to submit" But what care the third
termers for thisl If they can in any man
ner by profit by the adoption of the
unit rule, the rule will not only
be adopted, but the Logans of
the convention will stand up on their seats
and swear by all the heather gods, that
their course has the sanction of uniform
usage and precedents without number, The
Blaine men will, therefore, if they are wise,
act upon the assumption, from the start,
that the third termers intend TO "do them

THE confession is drawn from the third
termers as aching teeth are drawn from
festered jaws, that the meetings at Music
and Farwell halls, were Every considerable
demonstrations" But" they add, as a
sort of palliative Of the sting of such a con-
fession. They consist on part of Demo
Gratis, who hate Grant because he whipped
their rebel confederates, and in part, Of Re-
publicans who were curious to learn why
the man who saved the country was inell-
gible as q ruler of it." This view, indus
triously promulgated by the tools of third
termers but the fact remains, nevertheless,
that without the aid and earnest co-opera-
ton of the men who gathered at Farwell
and Music halls on Wednesday night, the
Republican ticket, with Grant at
the head of it, cannot carry Illinois.
To protest against the disfranchiscment
of Cook county, was the primary object of
these vast assemblages of Republican
voters; but the representative men Of tn at
party, present from all parts of the Union,
were blind indeed, and ineXcusably blind,
If they failed to see in such an outpouring
of the Republican masses and in the ex-
preston of sentiment that followed, a deep
seated hostility to third termism, and q
firmly grounded determination that the bal
ance of power in this, the fourth state
Of the Union. hostile TO Grantism, shall
not be DISTINGUISHED through the ma
chinations of man who could never
escape the designation, won from
Republicans, of Dirty Work Logan"

The Good Husband,

Nothing" said sweet, smiling, joy
full woman in domestic circle, "adds
so much to my happiness as a kind
word, kind look, OF a kind act from
my husband. Oh, how charming, after
hard days toll at the wash tub, or in
cooking over hot fire for the harvest
hands, or in the discharge of any other
domestic duty, or after sleepless night
with sick babe, is kind word, or a
smile even, from the husband and
father"
Husbands, if you see defects, or
things that you wish were not so, in
your wives, try kindness and see if that
won't do them more good than all the
unkind words and cross looks you ever
gave them.
81 often think, continued this happy
wife, 81 have the best husband in the
world. He is good and kind to me in
sickness and in health, in joy and in sor-
row. We are happier than when we
were married, nearly twenty years ago.
He never scolds me, nor brings long
catalogue Of complaints against me, but
comes in from his daily labor in a good
humor, with smile on his lips, and
says: Now, Susanna, you have done
enough to-day, put up your work Then
he seizes little Nancy, and we sit down
side by side, and chat in the cool even
ing breeze" What woman in the
world would not make such husband a
good wife,

Couneotiout's Actual Blue Laws.

The great agitation consequent on the
attempted enforcement OF the Con-
necticut Sunday Law in Norwich by
prohibiting steamboat excursions called
attention to the fact that, although the
Connecticut Blue Laws have been
proven fictitious, yet the Land of
Wooden Nutmegs has, nevertheless,
some laws that are pretty blue in tone.
For instance, the following are quoted
from the Connecticut strtutes, levisisn
of 1875:
Every person who shall travel, or do
any secular business or labor, except
works of necessity or mercy, or keep
open any shop, warehouse, or manufac-
turing or mechanical establishment, or
expose any property for sale, or engage
in any sport or recreation on Sunday,
between sunrise and sunset, shall be
fined not more than four dollars nor
less than one dollar, but haywards may
perform their official duties on said day."
Enacted in 1902.
"Every person who shall be present
at any concert of music, dancing or any
other public diversion, on Sunday or the
evening thereof, shall be fined $4."
Enacted in 1884.
every proprietor or driver of any
vehicle, not employed in carrying the
United States mails, who shall allow
any person to travel therein on Sunday,
between sunrise and sunset, except for
necessity or mercy, shall be fined 800,
to be paid to the town in which the of.
fence is committed" Enacted in 1914.
"Every person who shall blaspheme
against God, either Of the persons of the
Holy Trinity, the Christian religion, or
the Holy Scripture, shall be fined not
more than 500, and imprisoned not
more than one year, and may also be
bound to his good behavior" Enacted
in 1912.
Blasphemy was made capital offence,
and was punished with death in the
code of l642, and remained so until the
revision of 1884, when the penalty was
changed to whipping on the naked body,
not exceeding forty stripes, and sitting
in the pillory one hour.-In the revision
of 1921 the present penalty was fixed.
Regarding Sunday travel, Connecticut
law reports show decisions that grand
juror might on sight arrest and detain
the offender, and his excuse that he is
travelling as a matter Of necessity or
mercy must be shown in court. An
other decision is that the accused is not
entitled to trial by jury; but in another
case it is found that Connecticut justice
is warped toward the almighty dollar
interests in a decision that the value of
horse hired on Sunday and killed by
the hirer may be recovered Boston

Hold on.

Hold on your tongue when you are just
ready to swear, lie, speak harshly, or use
an improper word.
Hold on to your hand when you are
about to strike, pinch, steal or do an i'm
proper act. Hold on to your temper
when you are angry, excited, or imposed
upon, or others are angry about you.
Hold on to your heart when evil as
sociates seek your company and invite
you to join in their mirth and revelry.
Hold on to your name ~ all times; for
it is Of more value to you than gold, high
places, OF fashionable attire.
Hold on to the truth for it will serve
you well, and do you good throughout
eternity.
Hold on or your virtue; it is above all

AT the Louisville Exposition.

Last night, says the Courier Journal,
yonng man took his sweetheart to the
exposition, with cold-blooded determi-
nation. He showed her the dog show.
"This, ;" said he, "is one of the best
things in the show"
He conducted her to the place where
the beautiful Borneo Apollos hold
forth.
"Ihis," said he, sis one of the sights
here which is very interesting"
He then explained the two great en-
gines seen in the industrial part of the
building
He showed her the art gallery and
that pretty picture in the press room
which is called, Farewell to the Forest"
and which every lady who sees it wishes
to carry off,
"This picture" he explained, Eek
hibits gem of female loveliness, and
few things could be prettier. The great.
est attraction have reserved for the last.
1t is by far the most unique thing in the
building" The young lady became very
much interested as he led her upstairs
and expatiated on the objects of the un-
known object.
Soon they stood before the large mir
ror; he paused and so did she Then,
with cold-blooded explanation worthy
of better cause, he pointed into the
mirror at the young lady's reflection,
and said, "That, think, is the boss at
traction in the exposition"
"It is strange" she murmured, among
her 'blushes, "that one glass mirror
should be both the greatest and least at
traction at the same time"

Diphtheria,

Diphtheria is believed to have orig-
mated in Egypt more than 1000 years
ago. 1t prevailed in Egypt and Asia
Minor, to which latter country it ex-
tended during the first 500 years, and
was early called the Egyptian or
Syrian ulcers. Having invaded Spain,
italy, Sicily and other European coun-
tries, the disease appeared in Rome A.
D. 334, being highly contagious, rarely
appearing as a sporadic disease, more
frequently in an epidemic form in its
1900 years transit on the continent Of
Europe, it affected mainly rural dis
tricts and garrisoned towns sometimes
it has prevailed so extensively that dis
tant counties have been simultaneously
or successively visited by it. 1t ex-
tended to Holland, in which it was epi-
demic in 1887, to France in 1918 and
1885, and to England, the United
States and Canada from 1856 to 1860,
and more or less since. AS to the pre-
vention of this very formidable disease,
some very excellent suggestions can be
advanced. 1t has been noticed that
where diphtheria has occurred, after
thoroughly investigating the premises,
sufficient cause has been discovered to
produce it, either in neglected cellar,
cesspool, or in deficient trapping OF sewer
pipes All these should be carefully in
spected, and if the cellar should be found
damp and badly ventilated, and con-
tanning vegetable matter Of any
kind, all articles that might posi-
bly, become putrid or decayed should
be removed at once, the cellar thorough
ly ventilated, the ceilings whitewashed
and disinfectants literally scattered over
the floor. Chloride of lime is the best
one for this purpose. Next, the water
closets should be looked after; if they
are located in the house they should be
examined by an experienced and honest
plumber, to see if they are properly
trapped, and one half pound sulphate Of
iron (copperas), dissolved in two gallons

twice a week. If there are any cess
pools in the yard convenient to the
house, pipes should be arranged to carry
off the impurities; they should be three
inches in diameter and high enough to
carry off effluvia above the dwelling
house. If there are anv stationery
washstands in the house, they should
also be carefully examined by COM
petent plumber as to the traps being
safe. AS to the treatment, quite va
riety of plans have been pursued; SO
much interest has been taken through
out the world to make the treatment
more successful, that almost all the Eu-
ropean countries and the United States
have offered premiums for the best mode
of treating this terrible disease. AS an
example, Her Majesty the German En-
press and the Queen of Prussia offers a
prize of 1000 reichmarks for the best
essay on the essence of diphtheria, and
tie result of treatment of the disease,
based on the knowledge Of the nature Of
the affection.
