THE Rev. DR.. Burgess of indianapolis
having announced his purpose to vote for
Garfield, the Sentinel of that city deals with
him as follows: "This Rev Burgess, whose
title blasphemes, religion and insults Christ,
p, ofesses to be an educator, place for
which he is as well fitted as hell is for a
powder house. The bigotry of Bur-
CESS is of the most internal character. 1t
corrupts his voice to a tigers growl. 1t
lights his eyes with the fires of hell. Like
the influences of den of Louisiana liars, it
blunts his perceptions of right or wrong; it
develops his british nature until he appears
more like hyena than human being.
Prudence disappears under load of impu-
dence, and from the rotten wreck of a priest
is born monstrosity so hideous, so tat
tooed with the vengeance of the Almighty
that the very dogs bark at him. Burgess! !!

In case of Gen. Garfield's election the Leg
islature will be called upon to fill his place
in the Unit d States Senate.
West Virginia elects State officers and Leg
islature. There are three tickets in the
field, the Republican candidate for Governor
being George c. Sturgis, the Democratic
Jacob d. Jackson, and the Greenback, N.
B. Ere nch. The State is certainly Demo-
cratic. 1t gave Tilden over 5000 majority
in 1876.
The probabilities are that Ohio will go
Republican, and Indiana and West Virgin
ia Democratic. If these States so vote the
igh. must still be made, and the result of
the Presidential contest will depend upon
the action of New York, where the Repub-
licans are confident of winning. A reduc-
ton in the Democratic plurality of 14,000
in Indiana would be a great encouragement
to them, and should Indiana go Republican,
Garfield would carry the country with a
rush. We have never reckoned upon In
diana, and should il go against us would
meet with no loss. If it goes for us We
make great and decisive gain. The DEM
ocrats, on the other hand cannot afford to
lose it. If they do they are surely beaten.

MiltOn,s Youth.

Milton lived in time when "learn-
ing" was held of more account than
original gifts, and it was at twelve years
of age that he entered upon that system
of self-development which was to pre-
pare him for the great. work he believed
himself destined to achieve. When a
boy of twelve he seized learning, he tells
us, with such eagerness that he scarcely
ever went to bed before midnight; and
there is no sweeter picture than that
called to the mind by Aubrey of the lit
tie enthusiast poring over his books at
midnight, while the family are asleep,
and the n1aid-servant is sitting up for
him. As a natural consequence, when
he was, at fifteen, sent to st. PauPs
School, he had not-for accomplish
ments, and, perhaps, for scholarship-an
equal of his own age in England.
And when, two years later, he Went to
Cambridge. it is no wonder if the young
men were startled by the advent Of this
peculiar kind of student, with his fair
hair, brilliant complexion and large and
lustrous eyes, of that hue which at one
moment is called gray, at another blue.
Though his features were perhaps even
then serious, they were of perfect sym.
metry, while his courageous look, his
1.-THE figure, erect and of about the mid
die height, seemed to indicate exactly
the kind Of youth needed at Ckrisos in
the frequent town and gown 'rows.' y
1t very soon became evident, however
that his appearance belied him. He was
good swordsman undoubtedly, but he
had no leisure to exhibit his skill; he wal
given to late hours, but it was to rpt
from his sleep time for studying all sort
of subjects in all sorts Of tongues. II
short his habits and his morals were &c
centric; the first being most abstemious
the second most virtuous.

Tainted Water.
IMacmil.an's Magazine.l

l. .
Water, like milk or mutton, is intense
ly susceptible of taint even without, di-
rect contact with what is decayed. 1t is
not capable Of being kept pure for many
hours in an impure atmosphere; and, un.
fortunately, there are vast localities and
neighborhoods around us where the dem
sity of building and the overise Of re-
spirable air by mutitudes Of human be-
ings, as well as by myriads of four-footed
creatures, render atmospheric purity un-
happily rare, and atmospheric impurity
unhappily chronic. Walking Through a
by-street of ordinary width and tOler-
able cleanliness, the Olfactory nerves of a
sanitary inspector may not detect any
positive cause of scandal. But enter the
crowded homes on either side Of the way,
and how heavy laden is the air Of even
the narrow hall with the invisible, but too
appreciable exuvia Of the crowd OF in
mates! Penetrate few feet further
through the stuffy passage leading to the
murky yard behind, close to the door OF
which is invariably to be found the
closet, made use of by all the occupants
of the dwelling-and ask if close there
| to, ought to be of all places in the tene-
ment, the fresh loaf, the jug Of new
milk, or the piece Of meat for the Sun
day dinner? Yet there, in about SO
cases out of 100, is to be found the
only reservoir from which drinking
water is drawn, in utter forgetfulness
that by its nature it is peculiarly recep-
tive Of foul and fetid elements. Nothing
is more certain than the inactivity, or
what is miscalled stagnation. Of the air.
Overhead may be the sky, or on one or
two sides paling to prevent its inter
change with the less tainted atmosphere
contiguous. But in the sense Of constant
or thorough publication, which is de-
pendent upon diffusion and motion,
freshening oxygenation does not come.
Overused air, even in the corners of the
rooms, sulks and squats like doltish
child, and will not come forth by the ex-
preston of idle or indolent wishing. The
waterbutt or cistern Of the six or eight
roomed house is almostinvariably found
situated as described, or at the other end
of the little area, in close proximity to the
drain; and from the fact of its immobili-
ty liable to be frequently encompassed
with all manner of decaying refuse.
Were it emptied and secured once a
week-which is. Of course, out of the
question-it would certainly be unfit
| during the latter half Of the time for use
as the depository of the principal drink
of the family. As the practice now no.
toriously prevails Of leaving it fol
months uncleansed, the detriment to
health may be truly said to be incalcu'
liable. ..... .......- ....... ........,.....

PAD AND PLASTER.

Monroe's Combined Pad and Plaster is q
Thousand. fold the most perfect form OF the
theory of absorption ever invented. 1t is
ind ,rsed by the highest authority as not
only great improvement over the ordina-
ry pad, but as being Of superior quality
as a stimulating and remedial porous
plaster They will positively coun-
ieract all diseases of malarial tendency as
we'll as relieve all aches and pains OF rbeu-
matte or neuralgia nature, and do it much
Quicker and better than any or all other
known agents. .-......... ....... -
That it is vast improvement on all
forms of pads is a fact so self-evident that
no one can deny, and when the extreme
low price at which it is sold is taken into
consideration, no possible excuse can avail
for neslecting to use remedy SO sensible
and so economical. ..t
The Combined Pad and Plaster is worn
exactly as an ordinary pad is worn. There
| is no harness or gearing ;" about it;
no trouble in adjusting; no danger of'dis-
placement; no cbafing of strings-in short
| no fuss or bother. We, knowing all the
facts, can guarantee the Pad equal to any
other that now is or ever will be manufac-
tured the Plaster in point of medical effect,
excelled by none, and both offered at one
half the cost Of an ordinary pad, and but
little more than the cost Of a common
porous plaster.
1t is certainly the cheapest remedy In the
world, since the entire combination is sod
for single dollar; 80 that whether you
consider It's curative value, It's conveniencs
or its price, you find in the Combined Pad
and Plaster the greatest boon to suffering
humanity ever presented. l. t9
