All remedial agents capable of destroying life by
an overdose should be avoided. Morphine, opium,

The Cormorants and Pelioans.

Certain good Pelicans lived in secluded place. where they raised their young with great care, and were such devoted mothers that they would tear the down from their own breasts to make the nests warm for their offspring. Now near by there dwelt certain Cormorants, who were always quar- rellipg among themselves and fighting over their fishing. But if Pelican who wished to find food for her young came out into the region of the Cormorants they all booted at her, and if she demonstrated and said, ''1 can no longer get enough to eat in my narrow home; please let me try what I can do here" they replied, "Your first duty is to be a mother; ;' and when the poor Pelican reminded them what a good mother she had always been, and how she was willing to die for her children, they cried out with one voice, "You are out of your Sphere"
 But whenever a Cormorant thought he could find better fishing in the Pelicans' region he went there without the least hesitation, and even pushed the Pelicans out of the best place if by so doing he could better himself, without ever think ing whether he was in his Sphere or not.

Attention to Sanitary and Hygienic

 scalded, or otherwise injured. Outside of this community forty per cent. of all the children born, die under the age of five years; thirty per cent. die under ten years. It is ''mysterious providence" that slaughters these, while it spares every individual in the former class If we look into the hygienic conditions of the two. we shall find in the case of the children first mentioned, that their parents and those having them in charge, adopted an intelli- gent system, begun even before birth. and carried it ont through childhood. When child became old enough to drink. oat- meal boiled two hours and strained through a find cloth, or pearl barley with one cows milk, was given. As soon as possible g regular diet, containing more or less un. bolted wheat -four, was substituted, with meals three times a day and nothing be. tween meals.

lowed. The rooms in which these children shine, and there were no trees within g hundred feet of the house. Ventilation and house drainage were especially and vigilantly cared for, and arrangements fo1 outdoor and indoor exercise and sports were carefully made and carried out. They employed no doctors and gave no medi- cine. The children were trained, educated under law, and the result was, that the diseases which sweep little children from the face of the earth by hundreds and thousands did not come near them.
 Says an earnest, thoughtful writer on this subject: "Nothing is more definitely settled among scientific sanitarians to-day, than the fact that the vast majority of children perishing from among us every year, die from causes wholly controllable, entirely within the province of human fore sight and human endeavor to anticipate and prevent"
 When we better understand physical law, and learn to live in harmony with it, when we train and develop physical as we'll as moral and intellectual powers, then shall we cease to charge divine Providence with results of our own sin and ignorance. We must learn that nature shows no partiality, but kills alike the rich and poor, the young and old, who consciously or unconsciously disobey her. In the light of known physi- ological laws, that is 8 fatal absurdity which ascribes to divine Providence the vast amount of preventable suffering which everywhere prevails up and down the earth and that is the widest kind of folly which sees in the outcome of our own dis obedience dispensation of the will of God.

The Rev. Atticus Haygood of Oxford, Georgia, who lectured at the Asylum St.. M. B. church on Monday night last, is now on a tour through the Northern states, endeavoring to force the belief upon us that ''The war is over."
 While we must admit the fact that there does exist at present cessation of hostili- ties; still the gentleman makes grave mistake when he undertakes to prove that the war between the North and South is virtually at an end.
 Let him call around next fall about the month of October, and we venture to pre- dict that he will discover a very lively skirmish in progress; and If he will favor us with visit about three years from now, he'll find the dogs of war bowling, and again the battle raging in all it's fury.
 The war over ?-no sir, nor never will be, while place hunting scoundrels, calling themselver republicans, can make politi- cal capitol out of it, and the peoples mind attracted from the only living questions that have any bearing on their present condition or their future welfare.

Political Equality.

That Political Equality is the only basis of True Freedom is almost self-evident and would seem to need no argument, yet measured by this standard there is not a free sOonaon in all these United States of America. So far in the history of our country all it's women citizens have been governed by laws they had no voice in making, interpreting or administering. They have been punished by fine, impris- onment and death by jury and court composed wholly of men, and have been taxed precisely as men are, while denied vote upon all expenditures of the public money.
 The writer has taken some pains to col lect the sentiments of distinguished writers upon this matter of political liberty for two hundred years past and with one voice, statesmen and jurists, philosophers and scientists, preachers and novelists, they echo the words of great thinker of the 18th century-"Law to bind all must be sssented to by all, and there can be no legal appearance of assent without some degree of representation. Will our brothers read again and again these we'll considered words of the fathers and tell us how long they will continue to hold in political sub lection the mothers who have borne and reared them, and the sisters and wives whom they profess to honor and love. It is for them to loose the chains they have unwittingly bound and to bring about at last government "of the People, by the People and for the People," trme Repub- lie. How long shall we wait
 We propose to give 8 series of extracts from the writings of some of the best thinkers of the world on this great sub- iect, which we commend to the most thoughtful consideration of all who love the great principles of liberty and desire to see them practically applied.

 Five candidates for Speaker of the House are busily at work at the National Capital, with MT. Kasson, of Iowa, and Gen. Kiefer, of Ohio, in the van. It is thought that the Republicans will have little difficulty in electing officers. Jobn Dawson, of California, appears as an aspi- rant for the position of Sergeant-at-Arms. Among the candidates for Clerk are Ed ward M. Johnson of New York, Edward
  gressman Rainey of South Carolina.
 Women who believe in suffrage for their kind are greatly elated because Judge Fol- ger, who voted for woman suffrage when he was member of the New York Assem- bly, of 1867, now goes to the Treasury.
 There is high authority for the assertion that neither Malone nor any other South ern leader will be rendered cabinet posi- tion, however much the administration may wink at the work of Readiusters of Virginia in killing the Bourbons.
 Seen thorugh Republican eyeglasses, the political complexion of the next House is: Republicans 146, Democrats 135, Greenbackers g, Readiusters 2, Independ- ent l. The Republicans expect to get 8 vote or two from the Greenbackers or Readjusters, and thus elect their Speaker.
 ORGANIZATION OF THE HoUsE.-Many of the National papers are, in our judgment, making serious mistake Tn claiming that the members elected by the National party will hold the balance of power in the or ganization of the House. The fact is there are 147 Republicans, l35 Democrats, g Nationals and Readjusters. In the Re- publican list we count Judge Kelly of Pennsylvania and J. Hyatt Smith of Brook lyn. Both are said to have signified their intention to vote for 8 Republican for Speaker of the House. It is also quite likely that the two Readjuster members will vote with the Republicans.
 The nine Nationals are George W. Ladd and Thompson H. Murch of Maine; Ira s. Hazeltine, Theron M. Rice, Nicholas Ford and J. H. Burroughs of Missouri i; Charles N. Brumm and James Mosgrove of Pennsylvania and George W. Jones of Texas.
 When, Arthur, Grant, Dorsey, Conkling and Brady wanted MacVeagh out of the cabinet of Garfield, it was safe for him to remain in it. When Arthur, Grant, Do1- sey, Conkling and Brady want him to re- main in the cabinet, it is safe for him to get out of it i; and as the President courte- ously fixed the day for MacVergh's retire. ment and advised him of his successor, it is not likely that MacVergh will incline to return to the cabinet to oblige the men who will want him out, and can put him out, the moment it shall be possible for to become useful to the government.

Oastelar's speech in the Spanish Cortes on No. IA is regarded as one of his great est efforts. He had sacrificed much by re- volution, and will sacrifice more if neces- sary, but believe that the democracy of Spain can now accomplish all it's objects by agitation, in the press, on the platform and in Parliament. He referred to the form of government existing in the United States, and. in alluding to President Gar field, asked: "How can we forget that noble chief of free people who fell at the post of honor, martyr to duty, after an honorable and brave career, an example of republican fortitude, and torn by the hand of a cowardly assassin from his devoted wife, his loving children, his true col leagues, and great nation ?" On the edu- cation question he said that sciences and learning must be free from State and Church tyranny; the professional man in the pursuit of truth must be beyond the reach of fanaticism and despotism, which leads to regicide, and, as in the case of Russia, to Nihilism. In concluding he bespoke the necessity of progress and llb- erty, combined with benevolence and hu- l manity.
