COFFEE N TYPHOID FEvER.-Dr.
Guillasse, Of the French navy, in a re-
cent paper on typhoid fever, says:
"C0flee has given us uuboped- for sat
isfaction after having dispensed il, we
find, to our great surprise, that its action
Is as prompt as II is decisive. No sooner
have our patients taken a few table
spooufuls of il than their features be-
came relaxed and they come TO their
senses The next day the Improvement
is such that We are tempted 10 look
upon coffee as a specific against typhoid
fever Uuder its influence the stupOr
was dispelled, aud the patient rOuses
from the state Of sOmnOlency in which
he has been since the invasion Of the
disease. Soon all the functions take
their natural course, and he enters upon
convalusceuce."
DR.. Guillasse gives to an adult two OF
three tablespooufuls Of strong black
coffee every two hours, alternaIed with
one or two teaspO0ufuls of claret or
Burgundy wine. y little lemonade or
citrate Of magnesia should be taken
daily, and, after while, quinine. From
the fact that malaise and cerebral symp-
toms appear first, the doctor regards ty-
phoid fever as nervous disease, aud the
coffee acting on the nerves is peculiarly
Indicated in the early stages before local
complications arise.

Tea Toners.

An interesting article in the Journal

account Of what is called "The tea
drinkers disorder" This is described
especially as malady Of dealers in tea,
or more strictly Of the "tasters,u whose
judgment on the quality Of tea is sup
posed to guide the operations of whole
sale buyers. It is said that these men
have in their mouths in the course of a
day, though they do not always ValIow
it, an infusion OF about half a pound Of
tea, using from fifteen to twenty grains
Of each kind sampled. AS a disease in

bers use it imm Moderately; and iu pro-

MINERAL POINT, WIS.,. FRIDAY, JANUARY 60 $780,

Whilc the beam III their own eve
was uucharitablenoss, and the mote
in their brothers eye only some
point of ecclesiastical order or
church government,
\ divided Christianity is wrong.
Ii we We're all good Christians we
would not ho divided or engaged in
wmnglmg or disputiug, Most Of
tho modern divisions Of Christen.
dom have arisen from discussions
OF The unknowable, such us the
deerees ot God, tho reason and
nature ct the atonemcnt. Ii Chris
tms would seek convictions upon
the things that can be known, then
the Church would wear dinGrcnt
aspect, In the Church there is
special reason for temperance and
charity among the brethren. This
Is the constant training of the
Church, and no matter how much
individual members may misrepre-
sent her She cannot be held rcspon-
sible for anything she docs not
profess or teach. There are many
subjects on which difference is pos
sible aud inevitable Partisanship
should be avoided. For the most
part eur contentious are about
things that cannot be known Sac
rNmcnts, Baptism, the Eucharist.
Disputes ON such things are child
ish and absurd separating brcth-
ron, wasting energy, destroying
charity. Hast thou faith in such
things? Have 1t to thyself before
God in love and peace with the
brethren. The great thing is To
have large and full convictions in
the things which are eternal, Faith.
Hope, Charity.
The creed tells us the grand facts
of the spiritual world, The creed
is the platform Of the Church. l,
is broad enough for all Christians
to stand upon. Founded upon The
things which it contains, with what
a divine hope may we be filed.
Believing these things and loving
to believe them. how broad n
charity we must have. Whom God
loves we must love, and whom does
He not loycP If God comes into
our hearts, we cannot but be full
of charity, for Faith believes in
God; Hope trusts in God, but
Charity is God dwelling in the
hearts OF Ills children.
We have given above but the
faintest outline of the sermon. DR.

ministers Of ability and christian
zeal, and TO give his congregation

The interest manifested in the ser.

particularly gratifying to him.

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 90, 1880.
Self-Respect.

A man is generally safe who does nothing
he is ashamed of. Too many simply shrink
from wrong-doing through fear of detection.
So long as the public think well of them
they don't care how much they are obliged
to despise themselves. On the other hand
there are those who are quite Indifferent to
public opinion so long as they have ga con-
science void of offense." General Garfield
put this idea very forcibly in speech deliv-
cred at Columbus after his election to the
senate of the United States. He said :
"During the twenty years that have been
in public life almost eighteen of it in the
congress of the United States, have tried
to do one thing Whether | was mistaken
or otherwise, it has been the plan of my life
to follow my conviction at whatever cost to
myself. have represented for many years
district in congress whose appreciation
greatly desired, but though it may seem per-
haps little egotistical to say it, yet de-
sired still more the appreciation of one per-
son, and his name was Garfield. He is the
only man | am compelled to sleep with, and
eat with, and live with, and die with, aud
if could not have his appreciation l should
have bad companionship."

A WORKING SoLDIER.-One night in 1862
at Pittsburg Landing there was rush for ra-
tons by some newly-arrived troops. Colonel
Morton, commanding the commissary steam
ers there. observed strong, fine-looking
soldier in an infantry overcoat present a
requisition, and snatch up barrel of flour,
walking off with it as easily as a common
person would carry away ham. When the
wagon was loaded, the same man stepped
up to Colonel Morton and remarked
suppose you require receipt for these sup
plies 2" EYES," said the colonel, as he
handed over the usual blank, "just take this
provision return and have it signed by your
commanding officer" "Can't sign it p
was the reply. "Oh, no" said the affable
Colonel Morton, " it requires the signature
of commissioned officer" Then came
the remark that still remains fresh in the
colonel's memory; 81 am commissioned
officer-I'm a brigadier general, and my
name is Garfield of Ohio.

REV. DR.. ELIOT of st. Louis says of the
cording to my judgment, the second election
of Lincoln was not more important to the
country than the success of the Republican
party at the present time. Let four or eight
years more pass with steady and firm
is, with a just administration of law by the
supreme and district courts, and with de-
Gently wise legislation by congress, even if
no better than in the two years past, aud the
progress of the nation will have been such
that change of rulers would be in its effects
less important Now the risk, financially,
socially and for the country's best life,
would be fearfully great"

AGAINST LoTTERIEs.-Thes supreme court
of the United States has rendered deci-
sion which leaves the lottery no ground
whatever. In 1867 the legislature of Missis.
sippi authorized lottery company as the
Mississippi Educational and Manufacturing
Aid Society. In 1870 an act was passed by
the legislature to give force to that provi-
sion of the constitution which prohibits the
licensing Of lotteries, and suit was brought
by the state to suppress the company. The
state court decided against the company,
but upon appeal the case was transferred to
the United States court on the ground that
the authorization of the company was in the
nature of contract, and that it could not
be impaired by any act of the legislature.
The opinion is by Chief Justice Waite, and
he held that the legislature had no authority
to bargain away, for a certain percentage
of the lottery profits to be paid over to it,
the police power of the state in the regula,
ton of public morals. The effect of this is
to say that lotteries can be suppressed on
the same ground as public nuisances.

census will dispose of the solid south. He
said in speech at a ratification meeting in
New York; 81 am acquainted with the
men who are to take the census in the south,
and they can as easily pack graveyard in
the census as in the ballot box. If I am not
mistaken, you will find more graveyards in

north. The south is not going to lose its
