Under the able management of the
officers Of the lola Horse Fair Associa-
ton, the races last week were very
fair, but the. atteadaDee was meagre.

Instead of trying to induce some
other man to run all the risk of estab-
fishing second business enterprise
where one is poorly paid, we should
much rather see certain individual
invest some Of his own wealth. Per-
haps one experience is sufficient how
ever. Salvation is not free in the bus
mess alluded 10 and he who invests
must take his chances of losing as
well as making an immense amount
of glory and wealth.

The location of a depot has occa-
stoned considerable feeling among
our citizens this week, and as in
Maamaton township an unWise move
has been made. Inasmuch as it
amounts to very little after all so far
as actual business is concerned, we
were in hopes that at least one thing
could be settled without paying more
money. Had both sides kept hands
off the railroad company would have
located the depot where it would have
been been to the most advantage to
all concerned-and without receiving
bonus for so doing. AS it is they

should have done for nothing.

Elecirlc Light In the Stomach.

The Vienna Neae Freie Presse gives an
account ofan instrument invented by DR.,
J. Mikulez, instructor at the university,
which enables physician to subject every
part of patients stomach to an ocular in
spection. 1t consists of tube which is
thrust down the throat after the manner
of the sword-swallowing jugglefs.
The tube contains an isolated con-
ductor of electricity, two waite. =
canals, an air-canal, and wide opening Il r
the optical apparatus. The stomach is
emptied by means of stomach-pump
previous to the introduction of the ap-
paratus, and is then inflated through the
ATTITUDE. At the bottom of the tube are
two windows, one on each side, through
which the walls Of the stomach can be seen,
the requisite hight being furnished by
an incandescent platina coil which is
connected with the conductor. In order
that the examination may not be disturbed
by coughing or vomiting on the part OF the
patient, he is treated to dose of morphine
which enables him to endure the presence
ofthe instrument for ten or fifteen minutes,
while retaining sufficient consciousness TO
converse with the physician by means of
signs. 1t is apparent that this instrument
will prove Of inestimable value to medical
science.

1T is singular fact that strong honest
men will become so easily discouraged and
demoralized. The Repudiating-R eadjuster
success in Virginia seems to have stricken
terror iuto the ranks of the democracy of
the country, and some of the best and
purest and most influential men in the
South are despairing of ever putting the
democracy into power or changing the
present burGcnsome, unjust and iniquitous
policy Of the Republican party. The latest
evidence OF these facts we have noticed, is
in the Philadelphia Times which says in 4
recent issue John i. Atkins, of Ten
nessec, is a pillar in the house of the de-
mocracy. He was chairman of appropria-
tons in the last Congress. He despairs of
the future of his party because, as he
naively declares, it always discovers a new
way to blunder when laundering is little
less than a miracle. He feels, too
that the Virginia episode has made hard
lines for the non-repudiation Democrats Of
Tennessee. Since Mahone's leap to power
through the fundamentally of the admin
istration, Democrats in Tennessee are be-
ginning to contemplate with complacency
the scaling down of the public debt and the
decrease of the six per cent. to three. Why,
then, says Statesman Atkins, should man
seek to be honest, since dishonesty is so
much more popular? Wasn't it the party
Of honest ideas that gathered the funds in
New York and elsewhere to carry the
wavering honesty OF Virginia into repudia-
ton and public pillage? He is going,
therefore, to fall in with his Tennessee COM
patriots, scale the debt diminish the inter
est and become one of the elect, like Ma
hone" Knowing Mr.. Atkins as we do we
hardly believe that what the Times says of
his intention to 90 in with the regulators
is true At any rate we sincerely trust he
has no such intentions.

Another Prayer Cure.

A correspondent of the Phila-
delphia Times. writing from Da-
mascus, Pa. says: Miss Lille
Tyler, q relative of Mr.. William
Tyler, the Postmaster at that
place, has been an invalid for up
ward Of six years. Doctors have
termed her complaint heart di-
sease. She has been treated by
some of the most noted medical
men in this country, and has used
all kinds of medicines she could
hear of, with no relief. About q
month ago Miss Tyler heard of q
lady living in Connecticut who
cured long-standing diseases by
prayer. A letter was sent to this
lady, and an answer received from
the worker of miracles appointing
the day and hour when Lille and
her friends should engage in pray
er for her restoration to health.
The day came at last, and the in
valid's friends gathered at her bed
side. This was short time ago.
Miss Tyler was, at the time, too
weak to raise her head from the
pillow, and the company present
included her uncle and aunt, Mr.
and Mrs. Nathan Tyler, and her
pastor, the Rev. Thomas Wescott.
At the appointed time the young
lady and her assembled relatives
engaged in prayer. AS remarka-
BILE as it may seem, before the
hour had elapsed, the young lady
was sufficiently recovered to sit
up in bed, and has been rapidly
improving ever since. She is now
in such an improved condition
that she is able to ride out. and
her relatives are convinced that
her complete cure will result.

A Vermont Fox Story.

When they tell a story in Yer
mont they never leave anything
to be added. The London Union
is responsible for the following: A
man has for several years been In
pursuit. of a cunning old fox, but
every attempt TO catch him has
been defeated. A few weeks ago
he put a beei's head on the hill
and set a trap In a convenient
place for the fox to fall into 1t.
The next time he went to it he
found fresh fox tracks, and put
his hound TO work. The chase
was lively, but the fox was too
much for the dog, and on two or
three different hills he &C .uaIly sat
down face toward the dog and
waited for him. In this way he
coaxed the dog over good deal of
territory, and finally. coming to
the hill where the trap was set,
the fox made a straight line for
the trap, jumped over it, and the
old dog, pursuing the same line,
put his foot in the trap and stopped
right there. leaving the fox to pur.
sue the rest of the journey alone.

says: THE rule is that uncon-

death is no more painful than

Previous TO that moment, and In
preparation for it, respiration be-
comes feeble, generally slow and
short, often accomplished by
long Inspirations, and short ex-
pirations, SO that the blood supply
is less and less oxygenated. AT
the same time the heart acts with
corresponding debility, producing
a slow, feeble, and often irregular
pulse. AS this process goes on,
the blood is not only driven to the
head with diminished force and
in less quantity, but what flows
there is loaded more and more
with carbonic acid gas, a powerful
an@sthetic, the game as that de-
