The Physical Paradox.

1t has been said that "the blood
is the source of life." 1t is as tru-
ly the source of disease and death.
No life, that is to say, no healthy
tissue can be generated from i'm
pure blood, no organ Of the body
can normally perform its functions
when supplied with impure blood.
The fluid that should carry life and
health to every part, carries only
weakness and disease. Blood is
the source of life, only when it is
pure. If it has become diseased,
it must be cleansed by proper med
ication, else every pulsation Of the
human heart sends q wave Of dis
ease through the system. To
cleanse the blood Of all impurities,

tive, tonic, and cathartic remidies

efficient in scorfulous diseases.

The organ man last week claimed
that in the Third ward there was

that the vote on Member OF the

thus placed in the box, but as il
is fact that it was straight Re-
publican ticket, we contend thai
the organ man either tells a wilfu

Death OF Andrew G. Richardson.


We are panied to chronicle the
death Of Andrew G. Richardson
son Of George Richardson, Of this
city, which occurred on Saturday
morning last, at the residence Of
his father, by that dread of all dis
eases, consumption.
Andrew was a young man of the
best character and bearing, and
promised, if life had been spared
him, to be one OF the finest and
foremost of the coming men of our
young city. He was beloved and
esteemed by all, and his death
casts a gloom over his friends
and associates that is not often
felt, and caused a vacancy that
that will never again be filed in
the hearts of those with whom he
was well known.
The deceased had suffered for
several months before his death
and for the past five months he had
been confined to the house u; dying
at the age of "a years.
The funeral took place on Mon
day forenoon, from the Congrega.
tional Church, and was very largely
attended the sermon being deliv-
cred by Rev. e. L. Little.

An individual hailing from Sagi-
nav, and travelling under the name
of Streeter, dropped into this city
not long since, and at once sought
business in the way Of tuning
musical instruments, etc. OF course,
the low price he pretended to work
for had tendency to secure him
some work. But how strange that
"some one sent him" to SO many
places to see musical instruments
which he knew to be under charge
of some other tuner, and that in al
most every case, he should find
the instruments "almost ruined"
Our heart does not seem to 60 out to
such persons as this Streeter, and
we must say that we have so little
confidence in him that If we had q
musical instrument which needed
repairing, we would perfer to give
it to some blacksmith, and done
with it. A "first class musician
and piano tuner" that does not
know the difference between COM
mon sheepskin and good buckskin,
does not seem to US to be fit to
even look at a musical instrument
with q view Of making repairs on
the same. He may be a gentleman
of unimpeachable character, but the
Saginaw Courier certainly does
not appear to laud him very high,
and If he will tell US why he left
st. Louis in this State, between
two days, and why the press of
that place came out on him so
strongly, and the reason that he
visits st. Louis no more, he will do
more than he has yet. 1t is poor
policy to put too much confidence
in q man till he shows some manly
qualifications.

Ehrich,s Fashion QuartreIy.

There are certain books which
80 completely fill their places, and
seem so necessary to the general
conference of things, that it is only
by specializing on what would hap
pen if they were suddenly with
drawn from circulation, that we
can arrive at a true measure OF
their usefulness. A brilliant novel
surprises and delights the world
but the issue of an almanac or
cookbook excites no special inter-
est. Yet mankind used to get
along tolerable well without the
modern school of fiction, and doubt
less might do so still. But sweep
the almanac and cook-books out
of existauce, and imagination re-
coils from contemplating the re-
sultant chaos. Dinnerless and
dateless the world relapse into
barbarism, and Christmas and
Christmas-feasts for o double rea-
son be alike unknown.
