The Epidemic OF Asafetiida
Bags,


Stanton Is at present suffering under
a novel epidemic. With the usual
Affections exclusively intended for the
young, Providence this winter has sent
some mild cases OF scarlet fever. The
mothers of the city on it's appearance
Immediately showed fight and com"
menced throwing up barricades in the
form Of little Asafn,ida bags hung
around the necks Of their children.--
These, il is we'll known, are eficacious
In keeping away witches.
The first result, outside of the pro
tective effects, was discovered at one OF
our Sunday schools few Sabbaths ago.
An astonishing aroma pervaded the
atmosphere. A lady teacher after
looking with stern scrutiny at the chill
dren OF the class said there must be
something wrong with the furnace an d
that she thought she would faint. The
sexton raked the furnace over but
could find no cause for the unwhole-
some fumes. The teacher still thought
she would faint aud the Librarian, after
moving the bucket of water nearer IN
case she did, went on hunt for a rat
who was supposed 70 have died and
inferred himself in a corner. The
search was fruitless. The Superinlen-
dent SMILED in his prayer and the leader
of the singers labored heavily. The
twenty children who had concealed
bags around their necks looked as
though, young as they were, they had
stolen a horse each, and had him in
their pockets. When the school that
morning broke up, which it did early,
it was noticed that all the little bag
carriers were 10 earnest converse in
groups.
At one of our hotels at breakfast one
morning the effect oftwo children with
the Asaielida Patent Elleptic Proven
ton around their necks, was not less
marked. A traveller after cycling all
at the table with disgust, asked the
waiter how long his fish had been away
from sea shore? was it tso or three
years ? The waiter said "by the last
train" Then" remarked the traveller
IF they would wash their children here
every year or so. the house wosld be
more patronized."
The churches have not escaped. Last
Sunday man having lighted down in a
pew near one of the offending ones was
soon seen with his handkerchief TO his
nose resting his head on the next pew.
A great many OF his acquaintance n
the congregation were cheeled with the
belief that he had been converted, TN.
til be remarked after service that it was
the "doggoudesl" thing he had snelt
in twenty years.
When these anxious mothers will let
up on the preventiyes IS not authOrl-
tatively known but, if soon, they will
receive the blessing Of the community
and their praises will be sung through a
thousand noses.-Staunten VirginiGn.

LoUIsIANAs DEPT. The work
of getting the Louisiana State debt
into shape under the new constltu-
ton is said to progress very slowly.
Thus lar only sl35,275 have been
refunded into fourper cents, accept
ing a scaling Of % cents on the
face OF the bonds. The creditors
that have submitted TO the scaling
of interest and had their bonds
stamped as two per cent up to date
held only S9S,SOO. This leaves
S11,561, 300 of the old louisiana
sevens, as they are now called. still
outstanding, besides S348,9OO OF
the old bonds fundable into these
at 60 cents on the dollar. In the
meantime the baby bonds, or three
per cents, which were to fund the
floating debt OF the State, have &C
cumulated to $5l2,240. The to-
tai nominal debt of the State Is
therefore now S12,656,115.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov, 25.-The
Philadelphia Record has entered
upon an investigation of crooked
ness' among cooperative life in
surance companies in Pennsylvania.
Thus tar the probing process has
developed that fifteen risks have
beer issued during the last six
months on people upwards Of eigb-
ty years old. Many of them were
in a dying condition and have died
since the insurance was effected,
while others are now at death's
door. This aggregate amount Of
their risks foots up 100000. In
many cases men have been found
with thousands OF dollars of insur-
ance on their lives without hav-
ing had The slightest intimation Of
the tact. TIE manner in which
these assurances have been effect, d
it is said bias been through the
treschery of agents, assisted by un-
scrupulous physicians certifying TO
the health OF persons whom they
never examined.

Conservative Address TO the
People OF Virginia.


RICHMOND, Va, Nov 29.-Mr. A.
NJ. Kelley, chairman of the State con"
servative executive committee, has
written on address to the people Of
Virginia, which will be made public
tomorrow. In this he reviews the
results of the late election. In refer
ring TO the national contest Mr., K eiley
says unfortunately the result OF the
campaign in the Union did not cor
respond with our fortune in this Stale
There 10 no cause, however, he thinks
for alarm or despair at this result; least
vt all Is there excuse for the sugges
ton, at once must uHgenerous and
most impolitic, that the time has
come in this State to abandon the
national democracy. He says that
"every consideration of interest and
of gratitude fOrbids such thing
Wherever and whenever tor the past
Is wears the democracy at the North
have suffered defeat the cause OF Its
overthrow has been its friendship for
the South. The democracy OF that
section has borne willingly aud with
out complaint the fatal burden of their
friendship for the South. The chief
cause OF all the denunciation it suffers
and the principal cause of all OF lis
defeats has been lis defense OF the
rights of the South. It has grown
familiar with disaster because it has
dared TO act for us Justly and kindly"
Abiding to the results in this State
Mr.. Kelley asks: What will the PEG"
pie do with the victory achieved in
Virginia? A year ago, he says, "the
great conservative party was appar
emily rent in twain. To day, for all
practical purposes, it is united, con-
fronting that aud all other parties in
Virginia. To-day is question OF
great gravity, the public debt" He
says if a republican Legislature and a
Governor are elected, that question
will be speedily settled. He AYERS
that a multiplication OF taxes almost
to the verge OF confscatlon has
characterized the Legislation Of that
party in the South, whatever scheme
required it at their hands. Mr.. Kelley
goes on to say that speedy and hnal
settlement of the debt is earnestly
desired by nineteen twentieths Of the
people of the States, aud it would be
an aspersion upon the conservative
people of Virginia to suppose 'hey
caunot se:tl' this grave question with"
in themselves.
