they manage to support one head Of kline

DoN'T TRusr iTHEM.-When you feel

body that you don't know how to account for,
it is the most foolish policy in the world to
take the advice of people who say: ooh !
there's nothing the matter with you. Let
yourself alone and you will come out all
right" These folks know nothing about it
and may be trifing with your life. You may
have Kidney or Liver trouble. Send right

Mayor King, Of Philadelphia having de
monstrated on the Fourth of July that the
law against the use of fireworks can be en-
forced, now proposes to put stop to the car
rying of concealed weapons in that city. The
Mayor says 'sWe cannot arrest man on
suspicion of carrying pistol, but when he is
apprehended on another charge and search
discloses deadly weapon, he shall be sub
jected to the fullest penalty, The ordinance
against fireworks WAS protected by striking. a
blow at the fonntain-head, the manufacturers
Let this case be parallel. Gunsmitbs and
dealers in firearms should not be permitted to
sell deadly weapons indiscrm inately." If
Mayor King succeeds in effectively applying
the authority which the law places in his
hands, he will receive the thanks of every
citizen who has sense enough to perceive that
the American habit of carrying firearms is
one of the most prolific sources of crime.

People who do not know how the winds
sometimes blow in the West can have very
little conception OF tile work of the storm in
Minnesota on Friday last. The demolishiug
of hundred buildings and the killing of
thirty people in little town of but thirty five
hundred inhabitants carries enough of horror
wherever the news OF it can go, but the actual
suffering cannot be understood by any not in
the midst OF it. Tue damage TO the little
town Of New Ulm and destruction Of life there
did not embrace all tile work of the storm.
1t swept over considerable extent of coun-
try, carrying almost everything of the face
Of the earth. These storms are peculiar to
Abe prairie sections Of the West, but fortu-
nately they are not very common.

rector OF the Warner Observatory, kSTeRester,
N. X, has just verified the discovery OF
another comet, in the constellation of Auriga,
made July 18th, by Prof j. NJ. Schaeberle, OF
Ann Arbor, Mich This new comet is aI-
parently coming directly toward the earth,
and, for a telescope comet, is very bright
indeed it can readily be seen with a good
opera glass. 1t is quite remarkable that it
should be in just the spot where the present
large comet vas first seen by the naked eye in
this latitude, and it shows that the two bodies
must have crossed each others paths. This
makes the fourth comet discovered within
ten weeks, circumstance heretofore unknown
in history Prof. Schaeberle has duly filed
his application for the Warner prize of $500,
and as yet he is the only claimant.

The English newspapers note the Every
American bearing of the President under
the suiferings Of his wounds, and do It in
way calculated to increase our bump of self
esteem. The Spectator says that his courage
is as remarkable as the soundness of his con-
stitnlion, that shs conduct since wounded is
thoroughly American, and that he is very
courageous, full of domestic kindness and
tinged slightly with grim sense of humor. "
That grim humor" under suffering seems to
be heritage Of close association with the II
dian by our forefatheis. 1t was often seen in
the war, and probably is as much of a char
aeteristic of the American as any we have.
Whether President Garfield really said that
Guteau probably thought 'st'would be glor.
ious thing to be pirate king" or not, is i'm
material It was what be would have been
very likely to say, whether he anticipated
death or was merely suffering agony under
the surgeons hands.

A STORY or FouR YEARS Aee.-Jnst be-
fore the 4tll of March, 1877, young gentle-
man of this city, Mr.. Hagan, went to Rev
Father Reyille, the famous Dominican pulpit
oTator-who died from yellow fever about a
wear afterward, during the Memphis epidemic
and told him that he was greatly worried
over certain matter. An acquaintance of
his from Illinois had arrived and informed
him that be proposed to assassinate Hayes.
He did not know what to do or how to get
about ii. as the man was evidently insane and
determined to carry out bis project Father
Reyille, who was then at st. Dominic's
Church. Immediately advised Mr.. Hagan, and
they went together at once to Detective
McDevitt's house aud Informed him of the
circumstances MeDcvitt communicated the
facts of the case to Major Richards, then
Chief of Police, who directed the detective
to look up the man and examine into the mat
ter McDevitt discovered that the would. be
sassin was at the Imperial Hotel. On his
way np the avenue to that establishment be
met two of the Secret Service men, Anchisi
ard Maxwell, and suggested to them that they
approach the would be assassin. 1hey IA /;
and the mamie was quite well to do man
fom Northern Illinois, Myers by name-gave
Anchisi $40 gold piece with which to pur-
chase a pistol, on bis promising to aid him IN
his blot. McDevitt then arrested Alyfes ana
conveyed him to Police Headquarters. ne
found that in bis room at the hotel he was
we'll s.heeed9 with an arsenal of weapons.
Myers did not deny bis intentions, but said be
had intended to shoot Hayes, then proclaim
himself President, and to be sworn IN amid
the ringing of bells and the firing of cannon.
After due consultation the police authorizes,
convinced of his insanity, remanded him to
the insane asylum. He was kept there for
about six months, and then sent home to his

corded the death of an elder sister, Miss Janeta Cor.

greatly loved and for happy intercourse in the social
circle to which they had been alike endeared by SUI

Farmers and other people too should be
careful about drinking ice water in large
quantities. Tho very hot weather makes
people thirsty, and they may with less danger
drink freely of well or spring water than of
ice water, 1t is not advisable to drink large
draughts of water at once. If one is very
hot and thirsty the hands and face may be
bathed in cold water, and the mouth rinsed
out before swallowing much water. Even if
the thirst is so great as to make ono desire
much water it should be taken slowly--a little
at a time. Drinking largo quantities of ice
water, aside from its immediately Injurious
effect, is bad for digestion, and if persisted in
will induce dyspepsia

Two weeks have now passed since the at
tempt on the life President and the hope
which slowly budded from the gloom of the
first few days has ripened into reasonable
assurance of his recovery. Itwould be a mis-
take to say or think that all danger is past.
A sudden relapse is still possible aud it will
be observed that the attending surgeons do
not say that he is convalescent." His tenn
perature has fallen to the normal standard
and he has very little of the afternoon fever
now, so that anti-periodic doses of qunine
have now been exchanged for tonic doses, and
even his nightly anodyne has been nearly dis
continued. He sleeps naturally, eats and di-
gests naturally, and altogether seems ON the
fair road to healthful restoration. Ifhe shall
do as we'll in the next two weeks as in the
past, it will be a remarkable recovery.
