Neither the One Nor the Other, and
Both.

An Iowa man finds himself in the pc
culiar predicament of being lawfully
bound to two wives, neither Of whom he
can live with. He was divorced in Hi
nois, and married again in Iowa. The
Iowa Supreme Court pronounced this
subsequent marriage bigamy. While in
Iowa he may live with wife No. l, but is
guilty of adultery as to wife No. 2, and
he may live in Illinois with wife No. 2,
but is guilty of the same offense as to
No. l. He cannot take either wife
across the State line.

The VagabOnd Sage.

An old man of verv active physiog-

His clothes looked as if they might have
been bought secondhand in his youth

from the rubs of the world than the pro-
prietor himself.

"You arc not far wrong. Travellers
and vagabonds are about the same thing.

without money and the former without

will not write too much, and fool that

"What do you censure?"
"a man that marries girl for her fine

Fees of Doctors.

The fee OF doctors is an item that very many
persons are interested III just at present. We
believe the schedule for visits Is $500. which
would tax man confined to his bed for year,
and in need OF a daily visit, over $1,000 year
for medical attendance alone And one single
bottle Of Hop Bitters taken in time would save
the 81 900 and all the years sickness.-Post.

Men, Women and Suicide.

Men are everywhere becoming more
weary of the burden of life. Authori-
ties on sanitation and vital statistics tell
us that, of late years, lfe-the average
human life-has been considerably pro-
longed by greater attention to the means
of preserving health; yet, concurrent
with this Improvement there are a
greater impotence of life itself and a
greater desire to escape its burden.
Women are less prone to commit suicide
in Europe than men, and extensive in
vestigation of the subject has convinced
Signor Morselli that the tendency to
suicide increases with age more strongly
among the unmarried and widowed than
among the married of both sexes. The
following table curiously illustrates this
fact. Among 100000 OF persons of
each class in Europe generally, in SO far
as the returns enabled him to compare
them, the following numbers committed

AN Exchange says Schurz is almost
similar in sound to "schurz," the Ger
man for joke. And the career of the
late Secretary of the Interior has in
deed been jest; not the epigram of a
man of wit, but the buffoonery of an
accomplished clown. From the be-
ginning of his political life, a devotee
of reform and an opposer of Grantism,
he was next seen espousing the cause
of that party which had created the
need of reform and which endorsed
Grant Deprecating in 1872 the con-
tlnuance of sectional animosities en-
gendered by the civil war, IN 1876 he

and in so doing, as member of the
Cabinet he misrepresented the sentl-

to govern, as born German he was
willing to further the interests of that
traditional enemy of Germany, France,
and as naturalized American he op-
posed American supremacy. Such
have been the various attitudes of Carl |

THE Bucyrus Forum says: The
question has often been asked, 'Does
protection protectY' We think it does
effectively protect those whom it is
intended shall be protected, viz: the
manufacturing nabobs. The statement
is made that the cotton manufacturers
of Fall river, Mass, have profted
handsomelv v from the operations of the
tariff during the past year. The Upion,
Stafford and Sycamore mills paid their
stockholders dividend of twenty per
cent; the Troy mills twenty-five per
cent, and the Granite mill forty per
cent. These are the "poor manu-
facturers OF Fall River" who compel
their employees to work from twelve to
fifteen hours per day at starvation
wages, and denounce their workmen as
communists "bloodthlrsty mobs,"
etc, when they dare assert that their
souls are their own and demand at
least the consideration due to dumb
beasts. The protection extended by
the tariff to these workmen is an un-
discoverable quantity.

ONE of the strongest arguments in
favor of cremation of the dead, is the
universally of the hideous crime of
grave robblng. Medical schools need
and will have human bodies for dissec
ton, and the resurrection business is
far more extensive than most people
suppose. Nothing can be more dread
full to contemplate than the work of
gtuls who seize and sell for dissection
the bodies which affectionate friends
have deposited in the grave. Legi~la-
ton is needed to give the dissecting
table supply of material through
legitimate sources The bodies of all
unknown suicides and of all victims of
the gallows, should be devoted to the
uses of science, and a law is needed to
authorize their appropriation for that
purpose.-Sprinqfeld Transcript
