sLREP WITHOUT A MONUMENT.

The sea is the largest of cemeteries, and
al its slumberers sleep without a monu-
ment. All other graveyards, in all lands
show some symbols of distinction between
the great and small, the rich and poor, but
in that ocean cemetery the king and clown,
the prince and peasant, are alike undistin-
guished. The same wave rolls over all the
requiem by tho minstrels of the ocean is
sung in their honor. Over their remains
the storms beat and the same sun shines !;
and there, unmarked, the weak and power
full, the plumed and the unhonored will sleep
on until, awakened by the trump, the sea
viii give up its dead No marble rises to
point out where their ashes are gathered.
Yet the cemetery hath ornaments of which
no other can boast. On no other are the heav-
enly orbs reflected in such splendor. Over
NO other Is heard such sweet melody.

sCAMPED PLUMBERS WORK.

A plan has been hit upon by which some
scamped plumbers work may be detected.
The agent is simple and cheap, being moth
ing but oil of peppermint In Boston,
when they suspect the sewer-gas is escaping
through bad joints, the Board of Health In
spector is sent for. He goes to the set
bowls in the upper part of the house, and
drops in q few spots of peppermint, then
turns on enough water to wash the strong
smelling spirit down the pipe, and leaves
the room, closing the door behind him. He
then persmbulates the house with the nos
trils uplifted, and if he suddenly meets the
odor of peppermint, he knows that gases
from the sewer escape somewhere near. An
investigation is made, and cracked pipe,
open joint, or defective trap, isfound. This
is plan which anybody can try who is sus-
picious of his drains.

Did any one ever hear of person,
who, because there is counterfeit money in
circulation, would have nothing to do with
money? Why, then, reject Christianity
because there are bogus Christians in circu-
lation? 1t is very strange that SO trivial and
unreasonable an excuse should be SO often
offered.

The chief companion of pride is ignor-
ance. Our pride feeds itself by dwelling
upon the possession of some ornament which
we believe to be extraordinarily brilliant.
But did We see the precious jewels which
adorn many others, We should shun to wear
ours, and meekly SGT ourselves to increase
our store Of grace.

There are great many people in the
world who are bound by the close ties of

the Lord, but that the one he had intended
for the Lord had been lost in an unfortunate
speculation.

ONIoNs.-From our own expert
ence. and the observation of others.
we can fully indorse the testimony of
the St. Louis Miller, on the health-
full properties of the above esculent.
Lung and liver complaints are Ger
tainly benefited, often cured, by a
free consumption of onions; either
cooked or raw. Colds yield to them
like magic. Don't be afraid of them.
Taken at night all ofense will be
wanting by morning, and the good
effects will amply compensate for the
trifling annoyance. Taken regularly
they greatly promote the health of
the lungs and the digestive organs.
An extract made by boiling down
the juice of onions to sirup, and
taken as q medicine, answers the pur-
pose very well, but fried, roasted, or
boiled onions are better. Onions are
a very cheap medicine, within every
body's reach, and they are not by any
means as "bad to take" as the costly
nostrums a neglect of their use may
necessitate.

One resolution of the platform OF
the West Virginia Republicans will
attract unusual attention-that in
which President Hayes is highly
complimentsd for the cleanness OF
his administration. Among all the
resolutions passed in States which are
controlled by the Machine, we be-
lieve not one has a werd to say in
commentator of the manner in
which President Hayes has admin
istered the government. Let men
say what they will about the extra.
ordinary circumstances which sur
rounded his induction into Office ; let
it be admitted, even that he was
placed there by fraud /; the bitterest
of his enemies, if they be frank, are
forced to acknowledge that with him
at its head the conduct of the govern.
ment has been so free from cerrup.
ton and scandal that it stands almost
exceptional among administrations.
But the Machine men do n OF recog.
nize any virtue in this sort of integ.
rity. They have been steadily re-
manded to back seats by President

The Galena {Ills.) Gazette, whose
editor is personal friend of General
Grant, Monday published the follow
ing:
An item has been going the rounds
of the press, asserting that George
w. Childs, of the Philadelphia
Ledger, had stated that Gen. Grant
would order his name withdrawn
from the contest at the National con-
vention at Chicago. Neither Gee. w.
Childs nor any one else has any au-
thority for making such an assertion.
Gen. Grants name has never gone
before the public as a candidate for
the Presidency by any word or act of
his own, and he most certainly will
not order his nam0 withdrawn. A
very large class of American people
have chosen to make him their can
dIdate, and if the Republican Ma.
tional convention at Chicago sees fit
to tender him the nomination he
will not decline it. This we know to
be fact, and we publish it because
it is well that the Republicans of the
country should cease to hold the
matter in doubt.

If the Democratic party expects to

If the Democratic party expects to
have any chance Of success in the
next campaign, it should not permit
such utterances as those of Senator
Morgan, of Alabama, in the debate
on the electoral count resolution Sat-
urday. He undertook to intimate
that if the State of New York chang
ed its mode of appointing electors its
electoral vote would be rejected by
Congress. Such talk denotes either
the fool or the mailman. The Con-
stitution says that leach State shall
appoint, in such manner as the leg
islature thereof may direct, a num-
Der of electors" &C., and, whatever
may be the mode determined upon
by the Legislature, it is no business of
Congress, and to attempt to set aside
the electoral vote of the State cast in
such mode would be treason and
revolution.

friend and fellow townsman Mr.. Jno.
w. Veitch, as suitable person to
receive the Democratic nomination
for Congress this fall.
If this district is to be represented

publican convention had all been
arranged Senator Logan offered the
following as the platform
Resolved, That the Republicans of
Illinois. in convention assembled, de-
clare that they will support the NOM
inees of this convention for State
officers and the nominees of the
Chicago convention for President and
Vice President.
The report says the resolution was
adopted by rising vote, amidst the
greatest possible enthusiasm, the vast
body of delegates unanimously rising
to their feet and cheering enthusiast
tically.
This was setting a wholesome ex-
ample TO the Republicans of the
country at large. These delegates
had spent two days in fierce and
stubborn contention over matters re-
lating to the campaign-we might
almost say, matters controlling the
Presidential nomination of their par
ty. They were warmly devoted to
their respective leaders, and success
for one side was expected to arouse
some bad feeling on the other. But
Gen. Grants friends ultimately car
ried off the palm of victory. The
other side did not "sulk in their
tents" They came up manfully and
pledged themselves to abide by the
decision of the National convention.
There were no dissenters from this
declaration.

WHAT BREWERS THINK ABOUT
BEER.-Mr. Lill was one of Ameri-
cas- greatest brewers. For thirty
wears he made beer, and the product
of his great establishment on the
North Side (Chicagol had wide rep
utation. At last the brewery burned
down. People supposed that Mr..
Lii would rebuild. At meeting of
the business men of that section the
subject was preached, but Mr.. Lii
said he should never build nor own
another brewery. 1t was a business
that demoralized both master and
man. He had found it impossible to
keep sober men on his premises. 1t
was mandatory of drunkards in
constant operation and the curse be.
gan in the brewery itself. where every
man was beer barrel in the morn
ing and barrel of beer at night. He
would have no more of it. He would
be content to make less money in
some other way.
At this point an old acquaintance
in the audience called out, Gill,
what are we to do for that excellent
ale of yours ?" Mr.. Lii answered,
do without, and be the better for
it,"
We can not very we'll doubt Mr..
MiII's honesty in this. He had made
money in brewing, and, according to
common custom, he ought to speak
well of the trade,

been drawing salaries of 5000 a year
