A long communication from an uptown

Nagle, deputy register of the bureau of vital
statistics, in relation to the true causes of the
sickness of children. The writer declares that
in numberless instances where locality and
atmosphere are blamed for childish ailment
the true cause was the treatment received at
home and at school. "The hurried manner, "

heartless manner in which they are too fire.

attributed to other causes"

LfncOln's Ancestry.

A correspondent writes as follows to the
Philadelphia Times:
l take the liberty of sending you copy of
piece published in the Wellington Nescs, OF
Somersetshire, England. under date of July
22d, 1880. The article is most interesting for
the reason that of the many biographers that
have written of Lincoln and Booth l cannot
remember of seeing any account similar tc
the article enclosed, to-wit: '.Mr. ]. II. Til
lett, M. P, speaking at a meeting in st, An
drew's Hall, Norwich, in connection with the
Sunday School centenary celebrations. men,
toned a remarkable fact which is not gener-
ally known. In the neighboring church of
st. Andrews, according to the account of an
archeologist, were inferred the remains of
Abraham Lincoln, said to have been the
grandfather of Abraham Lincoln, who freed
the slaves of America. But there was a me-
lancholy fact alongside that. showing how
evil ran close alongside with good. In the
adjoining parish of St. Peter Mancroft there
had lived tradesman named Booth. who
was the grandfather of the Booth who was
the assassin of Abraham Lincoln"

John and Peter and Robert and Paul.
God, in his wisdom, created them all;

And helpessly into liIe's history thrown;
Born by the law that cOmpes men 70 be,
Born TO conditions they could not foresee
John and Peter and Robert and Paul

John was the head and the heart Of his state
Was trusted and hOnored, was noble and great:
Peter was made meath life's burdens 10 groan,
And never once dreamed that his soul was his own
Robert great 9 Ory and honor received
For zeaOusy prea hing what no one believed;
While Paul of the pleasures of sin took his I'LL,
And gave up his lite to the service Of Ill.
II CHANGED that these men in their passing away
From earth and its conflicts all died the same dsy
John was mourned through the length and breadth of
the land,
Pc er tell meath the lash of merciless hand;
R03ert died with the praise of the Lord on his tongue
While Paul was convicted of murder and hung;
John and Peter and Robert and Paul
God in his wisdom created them all.
Men said of the statesman-'How noble and brave .
But of Peter, aas!-"He was only slave
OF Robert "Tis well with his soul, il is we'll"
While Paul they consigned to the torments of hell.
Born by one law, through all the Dations the same,
What made them differ, and who was to blame?
John and Peter, and Robert and Paul
God in his wisdom created them ALL
Out in that region of infinite light,
Where the soul of the black man is as pure as the

Out where the spirit, through sorrows made wise,
No longer resorts to deception and lies
Out where the flesh can no longer control
The freedom and faith of the God-given soul,

John OF Peter, and Robert and Paul!
John may in wisdom and goodness increase,
Peter rejoice in infinite peace;
Robert may learn that the truths of the Lord
Are more in the spirit and lees in the word.
And Paul may be blessed with holer birth
Than the passions of men had allowed him on earth,
John and Peter, and Robert and Paul

chinese SalutatiOns.

Marquis Tseng, the Chinese Plenipoten-
tiary, when he arrived at Berlin the other
day, went through some old courtesies with
Li-Fong- Pao, the Chinese Ambassador to
Germany. On arriving at the hotel the two
gentlemen began their formal Asiatic saluta-
tions. They folded their hands, fell on their
knees, and threw themselves on the ground
with outstretched arms. The members of
the two Embassies saluted each other in the
same manner, and then they all exchanged
their visiting cards, which are strips of red
paper foot long and half foot broad.

"The Poor Mans Frfend.''

CINCINNATI, August 9.-The Commercial
publishes to-day a letter from Indianapo-
lis upon English as the poor mans friend. 1t
fills nearly a page, and, quoting from the
court records, shows how he has in the past
three years foreclosed about 200 mortgages,
and caused the sale by the sheriff of hun
dred or two pieces of property, most of them
homes of poor people. The facts shown,
while legitimate business transactions, will
produce feeling against English, and seem
likely to lose him some votes.

IMPURE BREATH.

Among all the disagreeable consequences
that follow the decay of the teeth, an i'm.
pure breath must be the most notifying
and unpleasant to its possessor, and it is
the mostinexcusiblean and offensive in society ;
and yet the cause of it may easily be re
moved by cleansing your teeth daily with
that justly popular dentrifrice, Fragrant
SOZODONT. It purifies and sweetens the
breath, cools and refreshes the mouth. and
gives pearl-like appearance to the teeth.
Gentlemen who indulge in smoking should
cleanse their teeth with SOZODONT. as
it removes all unpleasant odors of the weed.
Ask your druggist for it.

AFTER THE BATTLE.
All sorts IF rumors were atioat at ter the
polls we're closed regarding the disposition to
be made of the ballots deposited in two separ
ate boxes. Several parties awaited on Mr..
Samuel Wright, Chairman of the Central
Committee, to ascertain what course he
would take when he came to grant certificates
of election, and if the ballots in the second
box would be counted. When told that re
port had gained circulation that he would en-
deaver to invalidate the election on a techni
cality he replied
There is nothing in it. 1t would be an
outrage on innocent parties if the ballots in
the second box were not counted, as the
voter cannot be held responsible fer trouble
arising between the judges. Every vote in
both boxes shall be fairly counted and not a
single stalwart will buck ii the result is against
them. There will be no technically rung

Wrights determination to avoid all trouble
was everywhere endorsed and did much to-
ward restoring harmonious feeling. 1t was
that he had acted hastily, would apologize to
Judge Harris, and there is prospect of a gen
eral handshaking and reconciliation all round.

dent that Phil. Mighels is setting about quite
early to become famous actor. He has

On Monday night there was a large gathering
of boys to see Mighels latter actors become
great their first name is never alluded toy in
his Carson renowned rendition of the negro
stump speaker. He failed to appear, pleading
severe indispositisn, and there was serious
talk on the part of the gallery of demanding
their money back at the door. Master
Mighels had read some where that an actor is
really never appreciated by the public unit!
he has walked on them, and taking the hin.
acted accordingly. On his next appearance
he will raise his salary to a dollar week
(seven nights and matinee), and corral the
plaudits of the multitude. The APPEAL has
always conscientiously exposed these tricks
practiced on the public and does this as a sort
of Christian duty to its subscribers.
