Post Dispatch :-"Gen. Garfield has
etlectually destroyed his chances tor
ice-presidential nsmination. The re-
publicans openly charge him with hav-
ing recently lost for them all that they
gained in the extra session fight ever
the appropriation bills. His amend
ment to the federal election laws pro-
vides for the appointment Of election
mashals Of mixed politics, and this
cripples the right arm of the republican
party. Hayes can't veto the bill with
such an amendment because he pointed
out in one of his messages this very
defect and favored its rectifcation. The
stalwarts would be pleased about this
time to see Mr.. Garfield in Tophet."

the lawyers over in the three counties that COIN

The democratic party has been pa
tient and long suffering with dictatorial
men in its own ranks The time has
come for a little wholesome discipline.
In such an emergency as the present
all personal considerations should be
made secondary to the general success
of the party, and the man or men who
make of themselves stumbling blocks
should have such deep and black marks
made opposite their names that time
will not be adequate to their extinction.
A new process OF cancellation OF pos
tage stamps has been invented. and is
now in use in the New York post. office.
1t is to scorch the stamps. Specimens
OF the new process show very effective
work against the fraud OF second use
OF the stamps, the cancellation mark
being mdelIbe. The imprint made Is
just the same as that made by the ink
stamp, except that it is slightly burned
or scorchea in instead of being an ink
impression. The new stamp is heated
by gas. the metal being thin, to allsw
OF both quick heating and rapid cooling.
The puzzle is getting to be dangerous
A dispatch from Erie, Penn, says that
a one-cutter named Daniel Conroy
has become insane from attempting to
solve the fifteen puzzle. After work
ing at 1t Tor several successive days
and nights he showed unmistakable
evidence OF mental arrangement. 1t
required four policemen to take him to
Jail, where he is now confined. He is
SO violent that he is kept manacled, but
Notwithstanding has torn off all his
clothing and refuses food On the wall
OF his cell he has scratched a diagram
of the puzzle, to which he devotes his
calmer moments.

tInguished himself on the battle
field at Helena and other places un-
der the eyes of Missouri troops Since
the war he has been fearless and un-

his state. As state land commissioner
he was faithful officer, and as a Jour,

have been obtained in SO short a life
during an epoch when the rapidlty O,
events turned months into years auG
years into decades. Major Smithee':
views on the public debt question o.
his state are eminently sound. and must
commend themselves to every conserya

the course he advises can the state hop,

After Il day like this;
The day brought tears and trouble,
The evening brings no kiss.
No rest in the arms l long for,
Rest, and refuge, and home.
GrIeved, and lonely. and weary,
Unto the book come.
One of the sweet old chapters
The love that blossoms through
His care of the birds and lilies,
Out In the meadow drew.
His evening lies soft around them;
Their faith is simply to be;
Oh, hushed by the tender lesson,

T~he American Public Health as
sociati,.u, Sanitary Council of the
Mississippi; valley, and quarantine con-
yention, ali ot which held sessions in
New Orleans, b2giRning last Tuesday,
adjourned YESTERDAY sine die. The
proceedings, whicn have been pub
lished daily, show the Importance OF
these meetAgs. Not only Msmphls'
but The Mississippi valley and the
whole country, manifested lively in
terest in the proceedings of these con-
yentionF The principal object sought
TO be attained was the question Of
the quarantine of the Mississippi
river. As usual, tie doctors dis
agreed. \ majority of the physicians,
who were delegates to the conven-
yention from Louisiana, took
firm and decided stand
that the Pelican state was
able to protect her borders from the
ravages of yellow fever. The other
delegates, principally from Tennessee,
Arkansas, Illinois, Kentucky and
,Hpio, were not willing to depend en-
tirolv nm. ~ the efforts Of the Louis
lana state boa,~ Il to protect the Ohio
and M;ssissinni va,, ,N,avs from another
visit of the scourge, and L., 'is'ee Una,
the national board of health sn, VI u
act as the guardians of the public
health of these valleys. A few of the
physicians Of New Orleans and repre-
sentatives of the New Orleans cham
Der of commerce agreed in this, and
resolutions were accordingly passed
looking to ageneral supervision Of ex-
posed ports by inspectors of the ma
tional board. The body of men who
assembled was one of the most intel
lieent ever congregaled together, and
tits 70 be hoped that the result Of
their deliberations will tend to give to
the United States an exemption from
epidemics, and to enlighten the pub
tic mind in regard to this great ques
tion of sanitation.

feat of reaching the north pole will
not be the main or even one of the
principal objects of the expedition.
1t will be simply to explore the un-
known area north of the 18th and 80th
degrees of latitude. The society,
while it is not inimical to the plan of
establishing observing stations around
the pole, eau only consider the n as
subsidiary to the work Of the geo
