and unpleasant to its possessor. and it is

and yet the cause OF it may easily be 70
moved by cleansing yoHr teeth daily with
that justly popular dentrifrice, Fragrant
SOZODONT. It purifies and sweetens the
breath, cools and refreshes the mouth, and
gives pearl-like appearance to the teeth.
Gentlemen who indulge in smoking should
cleanse their teeth with SOZODONT, as
it removes all unpleasant odors of the weed.
Ask your druggist for it.

A HIGH OLD JUDGE.
HOW JUDGE "YANK," OF LAKE BIGLEn, USED
TO DISPOSE OF LAW MATTERS.

(
: Some very comicai yarns are related c
Eph. Clement, commonly called "1unk,
of Yank's station, Lake Bigler, well know
By all who ever visited the Lake, when h
was Justice of the Peace of that section fey
years ago. Among his other characteristics
Yank is celebrated for his ability to maxi
a mountain cut of a mole hill, and, also, TO
his philosophical disregard for all the
worldly desirabiities when their acquisition
requires the display of any amount Of ener
getic force.
| One time lie was trying case involving
considerable sum Of money, and while the
| most important witness was being examined
Yank fell asleep and began snoring like a
house atire
Hello, ,Jedger' cried one of the inter
ested parties, how kin you decide this case
when ysu amt hearing none of the evil
dence?"
Yank was aroused by this indignant ont
burst, and replied,
That's ali right, knew all about the
darneG case afore 1t kim into this yer
Court. I've made up my mind about the
merits long ago
And in three minutes, by the watch, he
was asleep again. But he was not permit
ted to rest long before one OF his help
rushed into the room, which was on the
secoud floor of a rickety building, who
cried out.
''Old man! that goldarned old SOW is in
the barn agin catin' up al the barley"
Gosh darn it! May the blue blazes strip
all the bristles off that DANCED old sows
hide yelled the Judge, and with few
bounds he was at the foot of the stairs. At
that point he seemed to realize that he had
forgotten something; SO he placed his broad
palm to the side of his mouth and shouted
up stairs,
"Jist adjourn the court until 1 kind o
knock the stufiin' out O that sow; an ef I
amt back in ten minits III give verdic'
fer the plaintiff.
The Court was accordingly adjourned.
Upon another occasion, a man who had
been drinking too much OF a bad quality of
whisky. which can be had up there al lib
ttan1. went into the willows to take a nap,
but the poor devil forgot to wake up again.
When the dead body was found Yank was
to held an inquest.
What? Is he dead?" asked Yank.
why, certainly ne is dead, was the re-
joiuder.
''Ef that's SO bury him. What's the use

marked the erudite wearef of the ermine.

And such was the style in which Yank
you'd dole out blind Justice.

A Senator on paying his bill at hotel yes

of which he knew nothing. Upon investiga'

The New York Custom-House.


How excited some people are over the
question whether or not Senator Conk-
ling is excited! How fearful some people
are that he will not know how to deal
with New York mattersl There is the
collectorship of New York city. Mr..
Robertson has been nominated. Was
the appointment barb? If so, will the
barb draw blood? Can the great Senator
possibly survive the transfer of the New
York custom-house patronage from one
enemy to another? These questions are
all agitating many people. We have no
information as to the feelings or inten-
tions of the New York Senators on the
subject-matter. We have not shared the
general interest which has been created
by the nomination of Mr.. Robertson.
There is nothing in the past history of
New York to justify the attaching OF any
special political importance to the New
York cIstOm-house. Those who suppose
that either the President OF any OF his
advisers have intended by this nomina-
ton to lessen the power which the Re
publican party of the State of New York
have so unreservedly placed in the safe
and honorable keeping of their great Sen
ator are mistaken. Noman now believes
that patronage is essential to Senator
Conkling's primacy in the Empire State.
Time was when such an idea prevailed,
but it has long since been exploded
by events. There is to be an election
for Governor there in 1882. The
New York Republicans would no doubt
take most kindly any suggestion the
administration might see fit to make,
through its accredited representatives in
the State, as to the selection of a candi-
date. The election there Of man who
might be deemed, more than any other,
acceptable to General Garfield's admin
istration would be proof of the har-
mony which the President will have
established by his judicious nominations
for Office.
In 1884 Presidential election will be
at hand, and the senatorial term of Sena-
tor Conkling will be about to expire.
The Republicans of New York, whose af-
fection and admiration for him have been
so often attested, will again make mani
fest the power: they have, and the desire
they have to express it through him, in
some manner, as their chosen leader.
There is no basis for the loose talk about
an assault upon Senator Conkling by the
President. If the latter had such a
that the great New Yorker would not
even dodge his head to avoid so harmless
and short-reaching missile as the New
York custom-house has been proven to
be. The sensation-mongers had bet
ter not be too ready to make complaints
on behalf of Roscoe Conkling. He will
not fail to know it if occasion should
arise for resentment. So far we are in
formed such time has not come.

For Human Rights.
To the Edt,or of The Republican:


l have never been surprised at Southern
BOurboniSm placing higher value on stocks and
bonds than on human rights. 1t has ever been
thus with Southern B0urbonism, which has never
had much regard for human rights, whether ap-
piled to negroes chattels poor white trash" :"
which Bourbon aristocracy has applied to the poor
whites of the South but L am surprised at Re-
publicans and Republican newspapers placing a
higher value on the bonds of Virginia than they
do on the welfare of race they profess to be the
friends of. The struggle in which the Readiuster
party is engaged has higher and nobler end in
view than the amount or value ofstOcks and bonds
that may be held against Virginia. The edu-
cation of the poor children, white and
black, free and unrestricted suffrage, fair
electiOns-an equal and just enforcement of the
laws toward all classes greatly outweigh the
question aS to how or i'll what manner her bonds
shall be paid. Yet see Republican newspapers
advising Republicans to shun Readjusters, and
thus are they using their influence in bringing
about state of affairs that will remand to the
tender mercies of BOurbOniSm 100000 cOlored peo-
pie and half as many whites. Like BouTbonism,
they place higher value on bonds and stocks
than they do on human rights.

DIED FROM JUMPING THE ROPE.
a Warming to Girls Who Indulge Too
Much in that Violent Pasiime.

"Died from congestion of the brain,
caused by jumping the rope" was the cause Of
death certified by DR.. Felix Eordemann, of 2i2
East Twelfth street, in the case of Rachel Duce-
wyds, aged FIVE and half years, of 81 Bayard
street, who was buried yesterday. The parents
are in comfortable circumstances. The father
keeps a fancy goods store in the Bowery. Little
Rachel was one of seven healthy children. She
was q bright, pretty child, and great favorite
with her companions. She was very fond of jump
ing the rope. A little girl who played much with
her said yesterday: Rachel would always jump
as long as she could. Sometimes she would jump
as many as a hundred, and then she would have to
sit down. she would be so tired. She always wanted
to come in as often as any of us were jumping
We used to try and get her to sit down and look at
us, but she would not rest as long as she could
jump"
Another of RacheTs little companions said "She
used to be very fond ofjumping what we call pep
per, salt. mustard, cider, vinegar That is. when
we begin to jump slow, and keep jumping faster
until We get to vinegar, when you have to jump as
fast as you cam.
The mother said: 81 used to tell her not to jump
SO hard. have so many children that could not
watch her allthe time. On Sunday she came in
after jumping and said she felt very bad. She had
pains in her head, cramps, and commissions. We
sent for three doctors but it was late before one
came. He could not do anything for her, and she
died at ten o'clock on Monday"
Dr. Nordemann said: al have no doubt that the
child died from exertion in jumping the rope.
She was healthy child, and had met with no ac
cident 1t is very common thing for children to
injure themselves by jumping too much. II often
leads to heart disease, especially where there is
any predispoSition to it. Many little boys iRiure
themselves in their attempts at walking matches,
riding the bicycle, and other fcats of endurance"
DR.. Jayne, of the Sanitary Bureau of the Health
Board, said: 81 have known of several similar
cases. Parents should be on their guard to pre-
vent all forms of overexertion. ."-Nc1g York Sun.

"Did you keep him perfectly quiet, as 1 directed,

THE SHADOW ON THE SUN.
What Garfield said to James B. ER ds
About the Presidency.

1t has been my particular aim and my
delight to fit myself for forensic and popular dis
cussion. 1 have obtained fair degree of success
in the effort and have looked forward to some
thing like eminence and triumph in the realm of
logic and rhetoric. Where am 1 now? BY Gus
tom, and by the proprieties Of official life. am
cut off from this, to me, delightful vocation, and
am debarred from that wherein had hoped to
achieve excellence. 1 am prohibited from taking
part in controversial questions, not only for the
term OF my Office, but, by general custom, for the
remainder ofmy days. The exceptions to the abb
solute retirement of ex-PreSidents are very few,
too few to change the rule so generally reeog-
nized that it is fitting that those who have occu-
pied the place of Chief Magistrate shall avoid a
subsequent mingling in active political life Even
if one cared nothing for the force of custom, the
circumstances attending an eX Presidents re-entry
on public life would be embarrassing. Thus, you
see, am practically debarred from my favorite
work, as you would be were you to accept my place
under the circumstances named. You say you
would not do it. 1 may say, then, that it has its
shadows as well as its sunshine.-ChicGgo Inter

WAY Indiana Was Left Out.

1t is now definitely known that day
or two before the Inauguration Governor Porter
received a dispatch from an intimate friend at
Washington, asking if he would accept Cabinet
position if it were rendered him, and saying alsO
that prominent Republican Senator, who was on
intimate terms with President Garfield, had au-
thorzed him to ask the question. To this Governor
Porter responded that he had been elected by
majority of the people of Indiana to his present
Office, and he did not care to resign it even for
Cabinet position and must, therefore, decline the
offer. 1t is also said that Senator Ben Harrison
received a similar offer, and he, too declined for
the same reason.-IndiaRcpolis Journal.
