Boston Journal.l
An exchange styles ice water our
national beverage; and if what it and
other journals say of it-and what
they say seems reasonable-it is a very
harmful beverage when taken in con
siderable quantities. The normal
temperature Of the blood is from SO
degrees to 102 degrees Fahrenheit.
The heat Of summer raises it still
higher. 1t stands to reason that the
pouring into the stomach fluid ~
degrees colder must be detrimental.
It is considered that the drinking of
considerable quantities of ice water
with the food is specially hurtful
The stomach is then commencing its
digestive action, which is necessarily
attended with high degree Of heat.
Consequently larger share Of the
blood is called to that part of the sys-
tenn than usual. The taking Of ice
water copiously while eating arrests
the whole temperature Of tho stom-
ach, and produces in the end the most
serious consequences. The reduced
aem perature of the stomach arrests
digestion and allows it to proceed on
1y after an interval ofrecuperation,
and then with diminished force.
From this spring disease which, I'M
der the name Of ice water dyspepsia.
is becoming alarmingly common. All
the functions of the body nearly Eela
ted to the assimilation of food are
deranged, aud the body falls prey to
those diseases which are usually attri
buted to tie heated term. Moreover
the blood, suddenly driven from the
stomach, is distributed among the
parts of the body which have already
their proper share, causing dizziness,
congestion Of the brain and train Of
other ills.

by hucksters, while newspapers would
scarcely note his advent. He Is the
dead Caesar, whose word yesterday
would have stood against the world, y
but whom now there are none SO poor
as to do him reverence. People are
tickle ia their likings. Garfield is the
hero of the hour now. He could be
re elected tomorrow by an almost
unanimous vote. Circumstances
which he could not control have made
him for the time being an idol, but
the pendulum swings as far one way
as the other. 1t is.a long time until
1894. In the meantime many things
may happen TO change the opinion Of
a volatile populace. In 1881 no man
could defeat Garfield, but in 1879 no
man could have defeated Grant. A
bullet wound will not preserve popu-
larity throughout a whole administra-
ton. There is lots of heartache ahead
in the distribution of the spoils.
Garfield can retain his popularity only
by giving thoroughly good admins
tration, which, as the ex speaker says,
would likely re-elect him.

The distinguishing merit Of Mrs
Garfield during the days that have
passed since her husband was stricken

and did not give up her courage, when
all around her were at times stricken
with dismsy, and predicting the worst
That is, if We may rely on the sick
room bulletins. For this undoubt-
edly the brave and loyal woman merits
the kind words and kinder deeds of
the people; but, bless you, this trait
is not exceptional in womankind. but
is the almost universal gift Of the
sex. where the lives Of those they
hold dear are concerned. In thous-
ands Of sick rooms to day-in thous-

sorer troubles have entered, mother,

courage Of the Presidents wife. 1t
is their nature; their supreme and ex-
allied merit over the coarseF sex, Ger

White House all praise for doing her
duty aud illustrating the courage and
devotedness OF the sex; but do not
advance the idea, as some seem dis

womankind. 1t is Of all others the
universal and all-peFgadiDg trait Of
the woman's heart, soul and mind

A STAR ROUTE IN ARKANSAS.

The most gigantic, or as Thackeray
would say, prodigions, piece of Star
route business is practiced between
West Point and kensett, Arkansas.
The two places are only four miles
apart, and an old crippled colored man
is employed at $50 per month to carry
the mail The other day man, while
going over the mail path, aaet the black
carrier limping along with two letters
and postal card.
"C;it outen de way, sab, de Newnited
States mails ur coming" and he lifted
his red eyes, intending them no doubt
to serve as danger signals. The man,
amused at the carrier, stepped aside
and asked:
'Is this Star route, old many'

'Tain't no Star route in de day time.
She's sun route, den, oh course, takin

''Hold on, minute. I've got some
stuff here in a bottle"
He put his letters and the postal
card on the ground, saying, "hey- dar,

wild dis man.
AS long as the contents of the bottle
held out he remained, discussing the
mail service, suggesting improvements,
such as putting foot-logs across streams
aud the propriety of himself being fur
nished with new crutch. He said:
"a old fashioned crutch in dis wide
awake day won't do. III de Newnited
States wanster shine, let her gin me one

When the last drop like a small bead
left the bottle, the old man gathered
up his mail and hobbled on toward the
postoffice.

AN ERROR IN JCpGMENr.-The real sentiment
of Southern Rcpublicansm is thus expressed by
its most influential organ, the Louisrtic CONNER
cidt, in commenting upon communication from
Mr.. Bacon, Of Gcugia, in the imcrjcan:
The young and ambitious men Of the South
will not bc patient with this state of things,
and realizing that the Democracy can never
again prevail in II National election, and that Ivy
acting with that party they are practically de-
barred from any influence in the National couu.
ellis, and any participation in offices III the dis
tribution of the Government, they will iucvita-
bly, cut loose from the party Malone has
done
Judging 10y its own principle, doubtless and
hy observation of the Southern men who have
joined its party, the Commercial deliberately
says that the young and ambitious mem of the
South will desert their party and its principles
and join another party with opposite principles
for the sake of place and patronage under the
government. That statement is false, and n
slander upon the young men Of the South
They are the very class that stands most loyalty
to its allegiance. Franklin j. Moses. John f.
Hobbies, Malone, Moshy and u few others who
can be counted almost on ones fingers have
deserted to the enemy for hire. The scorn and
hatred felt ard freely expressed for them by thc
mass of the young men of the South is in itself
sufficient to disprovc the Commercials prophecy
The young men have borne the brunt of tn"
fight. ~mL in,imidation and bribery have both
failed to shake them. That they will continue
true one who knows them can doubt. Aside
from that, they are generally too busiiy ut
work in their farms, factories, stores and Offices
to he ambitious for place under the general
government rs to sacrifice their manhood and
honor for it. Those who have political ambition
Gratify it by seeking advancement from their
pcoplc--not Ivy being paid traitors at the mercy
of caprciuuS, cxacting and insecure party.

crence TO the sermon preached by Rev. n. H.

The text was from Gen. l-3 And God
said let there be light and there was light
In presenting the teachings of this text, the
minister referred to the light of God and His
relation to the earth, and then to the solid light,
the light of the Gospel and the human mind :;
and lastly, with great effect, to the light of Edu-
cation and science and the great need of it
among our people. In treating on the latter
portion of his sermon he made an earnest ap-
peal to the Young men to continue in the work
of building up the young people of Union and
to the parents to continue to encourage the great
work of education.
