NUMBER 3.
The Unrest Of This Life.

Eau Claire is to have q corn festival
at the temperance hall, for the benefit
Of the Methodist Church, at which the
bill Of fare is entirely Of eatables made
of corn, such as succotash, green corn,
etc. Well, if they don't have trouble
there, then we are no judge. Talk
about indulging in Intoxicating bever-
ages, we had O thousand times rather
have stomach full of liquor than to
indulge to excess in succotash. The
succotash does not intoxicate, it is
true, but it causes q feeling of unrest
that is truly painful, and dire distress is
in many instances the result of looking
ON the succotash when it is red, when
il giveth it's color in the tin skinner.
We would go as far as anybody to con-
tribute funds to Methodist Church,
but the church that would smuggle sue
cotash into us in large quantities, as q
charitable incentive, regardless of our
feelings, would have something to an
swer for. When that succotash fes-
tival comes off the quiet man who
goes to work and establishes a bazar
outside for the sale of pain-killer and
brandy and peppermint is going to not
only make money, but become philan-
thropist. OF course money can be
made at such festivals, but is il right to
thus trife with the feelings of men and
women, to make few paltry dollars
for . church? Does it not prove
hurtful, in the end, to q church
that adopts such financial schemes
Now, there has been no more
successful festival, financially, than the
watermelon festival. held at Waukesha,
a few years ago, but no person who at
tended that festival could again be in
duced to patronize any money-making
device that the church should get up.
It viii be remembered by readers of
profane history that on that occasion
people were admitted free to the festi-
val, and given all the watermelon they
could eat. All partook of the melon,
for the benefit of the church, thou
sand hearts beat happy, and when music
arose with its voluptuous swell, soft
eyes looked love to eyes which spake
again, and pretty soon everybody
wanted to 60 out doors to get some
pa1u.k110r. 4u0u IL was 1OuQu LQaL
the doors were locked, and muscular
deacons stood guard and not moth
er's son of the vast audience could get
out without paying 2 shillings. The
sufferers were got into q line and had to
take their turns going out doors, and
much suffering resulted. Positions
near the door were sold at premium,
and when all were out, and the suffer
ers had been to Mr.. Dunlap's drug
store and obtained some peppermint,
they swore they would never attend
another festival. While the church
made money for q day, it lost money
eventually. No, we maintain that a
church should stick to the time-hon-
ored collection plate, and not go into
the boiled-aquarium business, with a
dwarf oyster for basis, or into any OF
these strange corn and watermelon de-
vices. Give us a square deal, and we
will all take hand, but when a church
deals brace game, the wayfaring man
has no show for his money.-PecEs

Relation Of the Liver to the General
System.

Prof. LIE Oonte expresses his belief
that the waste tissue is carried by the
blood to the liver, and is there separated
into liver-sugsr and urea, or some sub
stance which rapidly changes into urea.
Experiments made by Schif support
this theory by proving that venous
blood is soon fatal to animals if the
liver is tied, but is not so if the liver is
free to act, the poisoning being due to
decomposed tissues in the blood. Com
bustion takes place in the capillaries of
the tissue under the influence of venous
force, as the blood remains for longer
time in the capillaries of the tissue than
in any other organ. The blood acts as q
reservoir not only Of oxygen, but Of
food, and, if waste, the food taken in to-
day is not used to build up tissues to-
day, but is taken into circulation in the
blood, and the blood forms tissues and
regenerates itself from the supply of
food--so tissue wasted to-day is car
ried by the blood to the liver, there de-
composed into sugar and urea, and SO
eliminated perhaps the day after, or
even longer.

Emperor Nicholas.

OF the Emperor Nicholas, who died
quarter of q century ago, a charac-
teristic anecdote is told in the diaries
Of Privy Councillor Boguslovski, re-
GENTLY published in st. Petersburg.
As he was walking, one day, he heard
a German artisan declare that he would
not quit the spot until he mad seen the
Emperor; the latter went toward him
and demanded who he was and what
he wished. The German, who did not
know the Czar, answered that he was
an artisan from Hamburg, and desired
to submit a paper describing new
and cheap method for making shoe
soles for the army. "Why do you ap-
ply direct to the Emperor" inquired
the Czar; "why have you not first adj
dressed yourself to some one about
him2" "I wished to do so, and called
on the Chief of Police for the purpose,
returned the man, "but his clerk asked
me to pay 300 rubles, which is impossi-
BILE, as I have no money" "Well, my
fine fellow" said the Czar, If you will
only transact your business with the
Emperor in person, speak up, for / am
he" At this unexpected revelation the
honest Hamburger was SO terrified that,
trembling from head to foot, he fell on
his knees. In doing SO his hat droppep
from his hand. The Emperor's dog,
his almost-constant companion, seizing
the hat, began playing with it. The
Emperor contemplated the scene with
characteristic pride, hugely relishing
the fright Of the poor artisan. At
last he pulled the hat from be-
tween the dogs teeth and handing it,
smiling, to the still-kneeling Hamburg
er, said: "Do not be alarmed, my
friend; give me your paper; I will have
it examined. Meanwhile, come to the
palace, where you shall have pecuniary
indemnity for the fright you have suf-
fered." The Hamburger himself went
mad from fright, but his family re.
ceived regular pension.

ed compromise on the basis, that hall
OF each contesting Philadelphia delega,
ton shall be admitted to the convention

subject of compromise was referred, also
decided to request the convention to Su-
thorize them to proceed to Philadelphia
and take such measures and adopt such
rules as shall in their judgment subserve
to recognize the party in Philadelphia,
their decision to be reported in writing
to the chairman of the Democratic State
committee and to be binding and final,
and the organization thus recognized
shall be the true and only regular organ
ization of the party.

delegates at large to the Cincinnati con-
vention as follows: Alfred E. Burr,
Hartford; w. e. Parsons, New Havenj
d. 8. Wells, Norwich; w. H. Barnum,

chosen. The convention instructed its
delegates to vote at Cincinnati for the
retention of the two thirds rule. The
platform adopted was in subs tance as
follows:
The resolutions favor adherence to the
constitution and respect for its limitations
for civil service which shall bring to all
parts of the government former honesty and

delegation.
Up to this point the convention was
harmonious, but the introduction of res
olution in opposition to the candidacy
of Tilden produced a great uproar
Speeches OF great animation for and
against the resolution were made. By
its opponents the resolution was declared
''ire b1and.' Finally it was moved
that all resolutions be indefinitely post
poned, and that resolution be adopted
pledging support to the Cincinnati nom
inee. The motion was carried by &C.
clamation, and harmony was restored
The defeat of the regular resolutions

their individual choice: The majority o.
the delegates chosen, it is understood
will support Tilden, or whomsoever he
may designate as candidate.
