AS THERE are many instances OF
actual suffering from poisoning pro-
duced by wallpaper and other fabrics
containing arsenic, the following symp-
toms described by Mr. Henry Carr may
be found of use in putting unsuspecting
persons on the alert to discover the
cause of their ill-health, and to take the
necessary steps to remove the evil in
tiuence. The symptoms of chronic
poisoning by arsenic begin with what
appears to be an ordinary cold or cough;
dryness and irritation of the throat and
frequent headaches; extreme restless
ness; great debility, accompanied by
cold, clammy sweats, cramps Of the
legs, gripping and dYsentery, cOnvulsive
twitching, and a group of nervous
symptoms, varying in each case. In
fammation or irritation, with smartiRg
of the eyes and nostrils, is often the
most marked symptom, lasting for days,
weeks, or months, sometimes accom-
panied by irritation of the skin or whole
mucous tract: sore throat, running on
to diphtheTitic throat, liberation and
soreness of the mouth and tongue; irri-
tative fever, which, if persistent, ex-
hausts the patient, end death takes
place by collapse. One universal feat
ure should be mentioned, namely, the
inefiiciency of all usual remedies, the
presence of arsenic not being suspected

great end of craftsmanship is-tog give comfort
and plenty to each home, and to take--care
that labor Is well paid. We should seek to
give happiness to each fireside circle, and
not to fill the Golfers of capitalists" To
strike down such party is calamity, the
success of which can scarcely be estimated,
andif permanently successful will change the
form of our Government Money will be more
powerful than all other elements combined,
and the liberties of the people will finally
disappear. The Democratic party has al
ways had following in every State in the
Union, and has therefore always been ma
tional instead of sectional. No sectional
party can administer honorably this Gov
eminent; and in failing to do that it becomes
an anti-Constitutional party, and living,
active curse to the country. The Demo
cratic party labors for the peace and prosper
ity of all the States. The Republican
for party success, without regard TO peace or
prosperity. The calamity of Democratic
defeat is now upon the country. The Repub
lican party has control, and its inherent
depravity will have full sway. 1t will
regard its success as an Endorsement by the
people of all its past iniquities and present
designs. Its policy of hate will receive new
impetus; capital will continue to lord it
over labor; profigacy will crop out in
thousand places, thefts and pecula-
tions will be tolerated, and villains
will defy detection and escape punishment.
The man in the White House will be a
mere puppet in the hands of the skilled
scoundrels of the party, and the calamity of
Democratic defeat will assume, as the
months 60 by, more colossal proportions
But the time will come when the people
will see these things and recall the Demo
cratic party to power. Having undimin-
ished faith in the principles of the Demo-
cratic party and the integrity of the people,
we bide our time.

OUR COUNTRY.

Regrets are useless, and croaking far worse
than useless. The fiat of the law has gone
forth. General Garfield is elected. The
why's and wherefores of the result are valua-
Bile only as they shall teach the Democratic
party in the future how it may avoid such
results. The Republican party will not
heed Democratic croaking. Flushed with
victory, At will map out its own policy as
far as possible. 1t has in the near past been
more overwhelmingly powerful than it
will ever be again. The Democratic party,
though in the minority in heelectoral vote,
has majority of the popular vote, and will
be such formidable foe that the Repub-
lican party will be at once put upon its good
behavior and kept there. The great question
now is to see how little harm shall befali the
country under Republican rule. 1t will be
for the Democratic party to stand
forth as the champion of Consti-
tutional liberty, to guard with I'M
swerving, unhagging and jealous devotion
the rights OF the Federal Government,
the rights of the States and the rights of the
people-to expose fraud in every form, pro-
tect the revenues from robbers, hold officials
to the strictest accountability, and keep the
people informed with regard to Republican
duplicity, and in all things labor in the
future, as in the past, to beat back the CEN
tralizing tendencies of Republicanism. 1t
is easy to be seen that the mis-
sion of the Democratic party is
ne vital az ever Indeed since
the victory of Republicanism increases the
dangers that environ the country, the
duties of the Democratic party have ex-
banded to more colossal proportions in
stead of being dwarfed. This country does
not belong to the Republican party. Its
pernicious principles, its implacable hates,
its disregard of Constitution and law, and
its proficiency in fraud does not qualifyit to
shape the destiny of the Republic There ere
checks and balances yet; there are methods
provided by the Constitution, to which, the

THE DEMOCRATIC DEFEAT.

The defeat of the Democratic party is a
National calamity. Such will be the YER
dict If the American people in the not re-
Democratic leaders, in so far as such disap-
pointments relate to personal ambitions,
count for little. The result of the election
on Tuesday last has more serious signif-
canoe. The Democratic party is the party
of the people, and its defeat is the defeat
of the people. And the defeat of
the people means that virtue and
truth, patriotism, and devotion to constitu-
tional liberty, have been cloven down, and
the Government passes into the hands of a
party which has distinguished itself by
policy of sectional hate. by disloyalty to the
Constitution and by the use of means to
achieve success which merits universal exc
Grafton. The Democratic party has always
been the friend of labor and of the laboring
man, as against the cheap labor
theories of the Republican party,
which are put forth and advocated in the
interest of the rich and against the welfare
of the poor. Hon Horatio Seymour, in a
recent speech said, in commenting upon
the Republican cheap labor policy: 1--WE
do not want cheap labor, but well-paid
labor. Interest as we'll as justice and hui
mainly call for this IL all who labor in
this country took the wages and spent as
little money as the Chinese laborer our
Government would be bankrupt and bust
ness would shrink up. Well-paid labor
spends freely with the business man and
fills the National Treasury by the imports
and duties it pays on what it uses. This is
the whole source of our financial strength
as compared with other peoples. If labor
il brought down to the Chinese
standard there will at once be a
difference in the condition of classes
which will in the end overthrow our
Government. We pay higher taxes and in
terest than any other people, andif the price
of labor is put down TO Asiatic rates, capital
will swallow up the earnings of toll more
rapidly than what was ever yet done in the
history of Nations. II this is to be our .fu-
ture we have lost In vain nearly a million
of lives in the war. 1t is not the:object of the
Government to undersell Others to pinch
ourselves that we may pinch otherzi The

OF Legree Tom Kennedy to Legree's son,
also bearing the name of Tom Kennedy,
for 81, $50. The latter was kind master,
very much like st. Clair, though addicted
occasionally to drink. Mr.. Clark saw
Uncle Tom whipped near to death by the
elder Kennedy: The original Uncle

Clark started for the North in his twenty
sixth year, taking with him body-slave
Isaac. The timidity of the latter,
however, caused both to return, and
Clark two weeks later consummated
his escape alone, promising to return for
Isaac in year. This he afterward did, but
Isaac was dead. The meeting at the tavern
is fairly portrayed by Mrs. Stowe. At Gin
cinnati he disposed of his horse, and went to
Portsmouth via the steamer Sylph. Here he
took canal boat for Cleveland, arriving
at the latter place in 1871. He had
been told that Port Stanley was
across big river from Cleveland and
wandering up and down the beach of the
lake for several miles, he thought il must
be a mistake, as he couldn't see the Port

THE PEOPLE.

A majority of the people are with the
Democratic party. The people have pro-
claimed their preference for General Han
cock. General Garfield is not elected by
the popular vote of the Republic. In
1880 as in 1876, the people have condemned
Republicanism. The ST. Louis Post-Dis-
patch tabulates majorities for Hancock and
Garfield and says:
The following rough estimate Is nearly cor
rect as it is possible to make before the official
figures are in. We have, in nearly all cases ac-
cepted the Republican claims.
