The announcement that the American
Commissioners to China had concluded
two satisfactory treaties with that country.
one relating to the immigration Of the
Chinese into this country and the other to
commerce, win be good news on more
scores than one. The former was mat
ter which needed immediate settlement to
preserve the safety of the Chinese in some
parts of this country and to save the dig
uity and responsibility Of our government
from being gravely questioned by for
eign power.

What They Need.

Many persons feel unwell but they do not

there is nothing in the world that will give

the Peoples Favorite Tonic Bitters. They
are not alcoholic, but purely vegetable. See

The classical epithet :. bloated bond
holder" asapplied to the owners of Gov
eminent bonds, is not only inaccurate as
a rule. but, it is proved now, highly I'M
gallant as well. The tables prepared by
the Census Office to show the distribution
of the registered four per cent and fourand-
a-half per cent bonds disclose the fact that
the production Of women among the bond
holders is much larger than has been
generally supposed. In the New-England
States, the land of thrifty spinsters, 3Oper
cent of these bonds are owned by women ;
in the Middle States, 10 per cent; in the
Western States the same proportion. and
Southern States % per cent. The statis-
ties contained in these tables prove with
an exactness from which there is no es-
cape that the puplic debt is held by the
people, and that the dropsical bondholder
is myth, born of the falsehoods of dema-
gogues and the Imagination of dupcs.

The British captain who repaid the
hearty hospitality of the Norfolk Navy
Yard with an insult to the American flag.
has been directed to take his ship out Of
the dock at once. This was done by d.
rection of the Secretary of the Navy after
the vessel had been examined to see
whether it was in condition to reach an
other port. Considering that every facil-
ity had been extended to the captain to re-
pair the damages his ship had sustained,
his churlishness was a unique violation of
international good manners. and deserved
the severe rebuke it has received.

SORE THROAT, HOARsENEss and BRONCHIAL
AFFECTIONS. For thirty years these Troches
have been in use, with annual increasing IA
yor. They are not new and untried, but,
having been tested by wide and constant use
for nearly an entire generation, they have
attained well-merited rank among the few
staple remedies Of the age.
THE Bronh's Bronchial Tro-
ches" act directly on the organs of the voice.
They have an extraordinary effect in all dis
orders of the throat and Larynx, restoring a
healthy tone when relaxed, either from cold

clear and distinction enumeration. Speakers
and Singers find the troches useful.

with it go the manner of the speaker, the
tone Of his voice, and the expression of his
face. None of these can be put on a cold
sheet of paper, and so the letter of the sort
here complain of gives pain instead of the
pleasure intended.
1t can not be read with the emphasis with
which the writer would read it. The reader
catches no half-blown smile, no suppressed
merriment, on its cold, immovable face as he
might if he could have looked on that of his
CORES pendent when the epistle was penned.
The experiment is thus a dangerous one to
try, if we value the feelings of others and
care to retain our correspondents.
We can hardly blame others if they mis-
construe our words. We are liable to do the
same with the words of others. All the
punctuating of exclamation points will not
make up for just enc twinkle of the eyes in
conversation.
l would say to young folks land others,
too, for that matter) don't joke on paper.
You may be sorry for IT, A sheet of paper
can't smile or modulate the tone or shrug
the shoulders, or convey the delicate empha-
sis that indicates that fun is meant, and not
seriousness
Many misunderstanding have risen from
the habit of using playful sarcasm In friendly
correspondence. Prolonged alienation Of
warm friends has oftentimes resulted from
the most unintentional attempt at humorous
satire, or some innocent jest in q letter.
If you have not the habit, don't get into
it; if you have, do get out Of it.

pie and of the law.
Woe to us whenever Ii shall come 10 pass
that the power of the Magistrate. civil or
military, is permitted to deal with the mere
opinions or feelings of the people.
The right OF trial by jury, the habeas cor
pus, the liberty of the press, the freedom of
speech, the natural rights OF persons and the
rights of property, must be preserved.
The people elect the President The Con-
gress declares who he is. We of the army
have only to obey its mandates, and are pro-
tected in so doing only 80 far as they may be
lawful.
The army has been used unlawfully at
times in the judgment of the people, and we
have lost great deal of the kindly feeling
which the community at large once felt for
Us. II Is time 10 stop.
II is only by full vote, free ballot and
fair count that the people can rule in fact, as
required by the theory of our Government.
Take this foundation away and the whole
structure falls.
This Union, comprising general Govern

The true and proper use OF the military
power, beside defending the National honor
against foreign nations, is to uphold the
laws and civil Government and 20 secure to

are still the rightful inheritance of this

In war it is indispensable to repel force
by force and overthrow and destroy opposi
ton to lawful authority. But when the in
surrectionary forces have been over
thrown and peace established, and the civil
authorities are ready and willing to perform
their duties, the military should cease to
lead, and the civil administration resume
its natural and rightful dominion.

suits our system. He rode alone on horse
back to the Capitol, tied his horse to rail
fence, entered and was duly sworn then
rode TO the Executive Mansion and took
possession. He insugurated himself simply
by taking the oath of office. There is no
other legal Inauguration in our system. 1t
does not provide that one President should
inaugurate another. There might be danger

Homemade Court Plaster

The Scientific American gives the follow
ing directions for making this useful article:
Soak isinglass in a little warm water for
seventy-four hours; then evaporate nearly
all the water by gentle heat; dissolve the
residue in little dilute alcohol; and strain
the whole through piece of open linen.
The strained mass should be stiff jelly
when cold. Now stretch piece of silk or
sarsenet on wooden frame, and fix 1T tight
with tacks or pack thread. Melt the jelly,
and apply it to the silk thinly and evenly
with a badger hair brush. A second coating
must be applied when the first has dried
When both are dry, apply over the whole
surface two or three coatings of the balsam
of Peru. Plaster thus made Is very pliable,
md never breaks.

A British physician, observing the large
number Of boys under fifteen years of age on
the streets with cigars and pipes in their
mouths was prompted to examine the breath
of this class of smokers, and for that purpose
selected thirty-eight boys between the ages
of nine and fifteen. In twenty-five of these
cases he found various disorders of the cir
culation and digestion, Palpitation of the
heart, and more or less marked taste for
strong drink. In twelve there was frequent
bleeding of the nose, and twelve had slight
liberation of the mouth caused by tobacco.
The doctor treated them for their ailments
but with little effect until the habit of smok-
ing was discontinued, when breath and
strength were soon restored. The effect of
tobacco creating taste for strong drink is
PROFESSIONALLY very great. If the testimony
of some tobacco users and medical men is of
any weight, one of the most radical methods
of keeping the young from being led 10 in
temperate drinking is to deny them tobacco.

MY JEWELS.


Pearl, opal, sard and amethyst,
At eventide the message came;
The opal, with its heart OF flame
And veil OF snow, we missed.
The wonder of the heavenly place,
The greatness of its mystery known,
The glory of the immaculate throne,
All shown on the rapt face.
He whose she was. ended the strife,
The yearning and the tremulous fears,
And all the passionate work OF years,
That Overbrimmed this lie.
Great heart of fame, thy light we missed
Yet wide the gain as wide the loss;
The world grew regal through the cross;
And The day comes that binds my gems
In rarest OF rare diadems;
Pearl, opal. Sard and amethyst.
