I'VE Physical Paradox.

II has been said that "the blood is
the source of life" 1t it as truly the
source Of disease and death. Nolife,
that is to say, no healthy tissue can
be generated from impure Blood, no
organ of the body can normally per-
form its functions when supplied
with impure blood. The fluid that
should carry life and health to every
part, carries only weakness and dis
ease. Blood is the source Of life, on
ly when it is pure. If it has become
diseased, it must be cleansed by pro.
per medication, else every pulsation
Of the human heart sends a wave Of
disease through the system. To
cleanse the blood of all impurities,

but the actual production has not
materially increased. The present
production will reach about l,l0O

piices OF brnmides in the European
markets, several lots have recently
been exported. Byreason of the great
advantages that American manufac.
turers possess for the production OF
the bromides, it is believed that the
importation Of bromine, already
quite limited, will soon cease alto
eether. The consumption Of the ar
ticle, in the form Of the bromides,
has considerably increased. During
the last twelve years, bromide Of po-
tassium has been the principal salt
used, but for the past three or four
wears. bromide of sodium, zinc, and
several other bromides have become
very popular. The only really new
application Of bromine is the use
that has been made Of it for some
months past by a Paris house in the
production of a new aniline color.

Senator Davis, fWest Virginia, it
is stated in special to the Register,
will call up three important bills at
an early day. The FIRST is the bill
which will authorize the survey Of

this up, if possible, but that
he means to call up also, at the ear.

MIR. Trayellick,s Speech.

So far as Mr.. Travellick said any.
thing that was sound at all, he made
a good Democratic speech. He de-
nounced the characterization ofsilver
and contraction of the currency, and
that the seas were bare of American
vessels. These matters the Demo.
Gratis have been fighting to remedy
since their inception, and Mr.. Ira
vellick forgot to say that the Demo.
cratic party has already remedied
two of these troubles. They remon-
cited silver and stopped the con
traction of the currency. But Mr..
Travellick made many unsound
statements; statements which were
neither good Democratic doctrine,
Republican doctrine. nor good -dae-
Urine for any party or any class Of
people. To tell people of country
that they ought to consume all that
they produce, Misunderstanding any.
thing, is telling farmers and others
that they ought to eat and consume
all that they produce, and sell moth
ing, and this is simply telling them
nonsense.

Governor Matthews.

The Anderson Enterprise Of this
week pretty thoroughly cleans out a
correspondent Of a Republican paper,
who criticises Gov. Mathews official
action regarding the mining troubles
at Ansted. The game was hardly
worth the candle, as everybody fully
conversant with the details Of that
affair fully justify the Governors
method Of dealing with it, but the
Enterprise has placed the matter in
a very clear light TO its readers
Huntington AdUertiser
There has been too much abuse
of Governor Mathews going on Of
late in sonic Of the papers, and one
or two Of them, we are sorry, to say,
are Democratic papers, so.caAed.-
These papers that ARE abusing him,
are doing SO from spite, in order to
to avenge themselves OF some imag-
ined wrong, done by the Governor.
Goyersor Mathews, since his election
has conducted the affairs ofthe State
in ?. manner that no one can find
tF,ult. IN everything that he has
done in an official capacity, he evil
IDENTIFY has acted conscientiously, and
for'the good of the people. He has
made an excellent Governor, and
has been SO recognized everywhere.
He has been more than a mere figure
head of a man, Of whom we, as u
State ought to be proud. In point
of intelligence, craftsmanship, schol.
arship and in fact all the elements
which go to make a wise Governor,
ours will measure up to almost any
governor Of any State in the Union.
The secret of this hostility is, we
doubt not, some petty spite that is
unworthy men of their position. Pos
sibly us candidate for the United
States Senate, he may be treading on
somebody's toes. We hope to see no
more of these unjust filings at our
Governor.

[From our Regular Correspondent

From our Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON, April Sd, 1880.
Tho outlook for a long session is
improving. The House and Senate
appear to be pitched into illimitable
debate, both ends of the Capitol are
at war with one another, and each
end is at war with itself. Members
and Senators seem to be imbued with
the spirit Of strife. Senator Edmunds
is more than usuallycaustic; Senator
Blaine more pugnacious than ever;
Senator Carpenter as able, and as
ready to strike, whenever he sees a
head of friend or foe. One of the
mostentertaining episodes of session
was a debate in the Senate on an ut.
terly insignificant question, In which
two of these gentlemen expressed
their contempt for Mr.. Blaine, and
in which Mr.. Blaine expressed his
contempt for both of them, all the
stronger and more singing, because
couched in language courteous and
parliamentary.
The conclusion 10 which one comes
after hearing our legislative sons of
thunder for eight or ten years, is
that, taking them on an average, one
son of thunder is about as able as
GnnLhar Ono may nrnnl nnntLnr q.
