into practical effect in your state, will
be the reform of the civil-service from
every trace of independent or Garfield
sentiment to ont and out stalwart
champions. The offices will be given
only to men who believe in the ma
chine with Cameron as master, who
can and will work for the cause day
and night, and who will pay whenever
an assessment is levied. The party
will be declared to be above all civil
service and its interests the para
mount interest with every oflice-hold-
er. There will be some kicking among
the sentimentalists who yet adhere to
the machine, but Cameron feels that
he has everything to gain and nothing
to lose by gathering up the spoils and
declaring that they are for those who
can best earn them by party services.
All the departments of the administra-
ton will be subject to Cameron's or
ders in dispOsing of their patronage
to Pennsylvania, and his omnipotence
in dispensing the plumber of the ad-
ministration is counted on by himself
and friends as his strongest element of
power i'll the campaign. 1t may some
what embarrass Gen. Beaver, who is to
run the high-toned reform side of the
machine, but the stalwart plans are
perfected, and the stalwart army will
march to the music of the spoils with
desperate courage as soon as Congress
adiourns.- Washington dispatch to

Cruelty to Immigrants.

The Senate has plain duty to per-
form i'll passing at once the bill to reg
ulate the carriage of passengers by sea,
which the House has already indOrsed.
This bill would bring within reach of
punishment the Royal Netherlands
steamship company, which has made Il
record of almost unparalleled cruelty
in its treatment of immigrant passen-
gers. The steamer Nemesis of this
line, plying between Amsterdam and
New York, lately landed a party OF
immigrants at the latter port, who dis
close the fact that the steamer was
little better than floating coffin.
They left Amsterdam in vigorous
health, understanding that they were
to have wholesome food for themselves
and their children, but the smallest OF
the latter, slowed away in the steer
age, were allowed nothing but a ran
cid drink of condensed milk and salt
water. As a result they soon sicken-
ed, ten died on the voyage, three after
the steamer reached the harbor of New
York, and five soon after they were
landed and taken to the hospital OH
Wards Island. Others will probably
tllt llOHl lllt tllttlS VI utRltCl anu
maltreatment. The steamer had left
Amsterdam May 10, and for a few
DAYS the food and drink was such as
could be swallowed but then the fare
was suddenly changed. Petty officers
compelled the immigrants to pay extra
for eatable food, the surgeon, drunk
en- fellow, refused medicine to sick
ones, the captain laughed brutally
when complaints were made, and as
the voyage drew near its end the Off
GERS had the audacity to send through
the filthy steerage paper which they
commanded the passengers to sign
1t was a statement that they had been
handsomely treated by kind and cour-
teOus officials throughout the passage
DR.. Tuttle, who has many of the suf-
fering immigrants in the state hospital
at Wards Island, says that he never
before received ship-lOad in such "a
wretched condition, and the commits
sioners of emigration consider the Off
GERS of the Nemesis "highly cen
surable." However, the steamer was
well off again before the details of the
cruelty had been given.

The Fool and His Money.
Extract from a Colorado Letter. !

Day after day they come pouring in,
the trains bring them, they come in
wagons, they come afOot. 1t is this
immigration, which pressing to the
frontier is pushing the Indians before
it, is bringing civilization i'll its train,
is opening up and developing the un-
explored regions of this vast centennial
state. Some have to come to take
government land, and with the spirit
of the hardy pioneer to raise their log
cabins, subdue the soil and become
permanent citizens. Some are mere
wanderers, and having put their fami-
lies and few household affects aboard
their freighting outfit in Missouri,
they "don't know iist where they're
goin,' mabbe to Colorado, mabbe Neva-
dy :" while the most are coming to eX-
plOre our mountains, i'll the hopes of
discovering untold riches and of being
transformed with presto change into
milliOnaires. 1t is somewhat difficult
for person who has never expert
enced it, to appreciate this fascinating
and all-pervading spirit, in a certain
sense Il gambling spirit, this itching
after sudden riches, this longing to
''strike it," One can scarcely go into
house in Colorado, but he is shown
specimens of ore, taken from a claim
in which the honest people expect to
make their 'everlaSting.n Nearly ev-
erybody is interested in mining in one
way or another, and happy is the "ten-
derfOot' who is abletO resist the fascin-
ating talk, the argument of "mill-runsn
and ''assay-returnsn and with tight
hold upon his pocket-bOok is able to
keep in it the hard-earned dollars that
are already there. For let him not de-
ceive himself; he is dealing with men
who know their trade, who are nc
| fools, who are up to all sorts of dOdges
and, further than that, who under
stand that they are dealing with per-
sons ignorant of the subject. Many Il
young man in Colorado to-day car
look at his certificates of stock, fol
which he has paid dearly, but which
are only good as allumettes witt
which to light his pipe. 1t is curiou,
to observe how contrary to all reason
this eagerness for striking it rich is
One will meet men who will tell hin
i'll all seriousness of mines, i'll which
they are interested, which according
to their statements and the cold logic
of figures ought to contain minera
enough to pay off the national debt
and yet these same men can scarcely
keep their heads above water. One
will be told of placer washings where
an ordinary day laborer with simply
his pan ought to be able to earn thou
sands of dollars day. Indeed, stories
multiply so on every hand that on,
feels like making the reply that one o
my friends is reported to have made
81 have no objections, sir, to youl
telling me that story, and you may be
lieve it, if you want to. The only
thing | regret in the matter is that you
should take me to be such a id foo
as to expect me 10 believe it." hav,
had people go so far with me, as to re-
mind me that mining is snch an hon
Orable profession, that in Spain a cor
Onet awaits the successful miner.

Miraculous Escape from sud
den Death.

Mr.. NJ. NJ. Dikeman, a well-known
citizen of HubbardtOn, writes as fol-
lows: "Forty-one years ago the 18th
of this month my father and myself
were running our sawmill, situated on
the home farm that | now live on. At
noon father went home to dinner, and
soon after he had gone | attempted to
fix something about the gig spout that
had been done when the mill was run
ming. 1t was an fashioned ''flut-
ter-wheel" mill. | stepped down into
the brace outside of the post, with my
arm around the post. The brace prov
ed to be rotten and | dropped 10 or IL
feet, striking my side across the large
shaft of the wateT-wheel and my left
foot went over into the wheel, and, as
fortune would have it, as the bucket
came around the heel of my boot
caught between the bucket and apron,
stopping the wheel. 1t seemed as if
the water pouring down the apron was
gaining more and more force, and that
the wheel must start and crush me to
atoms. Let the reader imagine my
feelings, if he can, thus situated, with

no one within the sound of my voice.
If he cannot, | can't describe them.
| remained in this situation, with the
cold water pouring over me and cold
north wind blowing on me for nearly
half an hour. | hallooed at the top of
my voice, and was about giving up
when | heard footsteps in the mill, and
soon two of the nearest neighbors
came to my relief. When they got me
ont, my first thought was to see if my
leg was broken. Strange as it may
appear, there was not II bone broken
or any flesh torn off, but | suffered the
most eXcruciating pain in my limb
that night and was confined to the
house about two weeks. If had fall
len into the wheel in any other way
should have been drowned OF crushed
instantly. All | can say is, that sup
pose my time had not come. Although
it was Al years ago, cannot think OF
it without IN involuntary shudder."-

Care OF Horses i'm Winter.

In warm, properly ventilated stables,
it is doubtful whether horse ought to
be blanketed, but in cold stables there
is no doubt that he should be; also in
all cases when stopped in cold weather
on the road. 1t is better when a horse
comes in warm and sweaty to rub him
dry before feeding or watering. Horses
are much like human beings; they take
cold by exposure as man will. They
should be carefully treated, and never
be allowed to stand long in cold weather
in sweaty condition without being
blanketed. Many horses are ruined BY
exposure and drinking cold water when
warm and sweaty.
The average farmer is slow to learn
the value of carrots for horses. They are
SO, nutritious that livery men and some
others feed considerable quantities reg
ularly to their horses instead of grain.
Many consider that quarts of oats and
the same of carrots is as good feed
tor horse as quarts of oats, and
horses that are worked little more than
for mere exercise will keep in good con-
dition and look sleek and smooth on hay
and carrots alone. An occasional feed
of raw potatoes is also good for horses,
especially to give smooth, glossy coat,
and if troubled with worms it tends to
clear them away.--lV. Il. White, in
Country Gentleman.

W0man's Health.

"I would, says Gail Hamilton, "that
women were happier" The wish meets
an evident need, but if Gail had gone to
the root of the matter she would have
said, 'I would that women were health
ier." it has come to be commonplace
truism that health holds, in itself, the
secret of all life's success, but it's full
significance has never yet been ade-
quately appreciated. Women are apt
to regard the measure of health as
men if they are not actually i'll. Now
true health is a positive, rather than a
negative state. 1t is physical exhilara-
ton; it is the state where duty becomes
delight, when the surplus energy Graves
exertion. In this state the keen morn
ing air is like wine, and life takes on a
zest, q glow, sparkle. This is the
physical state that renders possible men,
tai enthusiasm, spiritual exaltations.
"I'm so nervous" sighs woman
whose life is set in the midst of all COM
forts and perhaps luxuries. But where
fore? What need is there of being $50
nervous" when exercise, sleep, and
proper food are attainablep GA
woman of twenty ought to be as much
ashamed of being dyspeptic rs of being
drunk" severely says the scintillating
Gail, and it is true, even if severe. Ii
women can once become regenerated
with the fact that q state of vigorous,
robust health is quite compatible with
intellectual power and refinement, and
being only negatively well is not neces-
sarily synonymous with a lady, it will
do more for woman's advancement
than all the ballots she could cast be-
tween Boston and San Francisco.
Probably, however, she requires the dis
cipline of political enfranchisement to
educate her up to wider views of life
andits possibilities and its deep signifi-
canceS.-B0st0D Monitor.

A Picture Worth Beholding.

Hanging between two small windows, and
catching the light from larger one opposite,
in one of the offices of Adams Express Com
pany, at SO Broadway, New York-the Office
occupied by Mr.. w. Fl. Hall, head Of the de-
livery department-is plainly finished but
neatly framed chrome about 211s by 3 feet in
size, which is looked upon by hundreds Of peo-
pie daily, on many Of whom it has wonderful
and salutary effect. 1t represents fight of
half dozen rough stone steps leading from
the swarded bank of a placid lake to little
rustic temple set in the rugged side of the
mountain which rises in stupendous proper
tions in the background all covered with a
rank luxuriant growth of foliage in brush and
tree. In the open door of this little temple
stands half concealed figure, with an arm
and hand extended, holding forth small,
dimly defined package, while seated on the
sward at the foot of the steps an aged pilgrims
barefooted lame and decrepid, bears staff in
one hand, and in the other holds before his
dim eyes small bottle, whose label he eager
" scans. This label bears the words st.
Jacobs Oil the Great German Remedy" Sim
pie as this little chrome appears in its unos-
tentatious position it has an influence which
it would be difficult to estimate. 1t is to
that picture and the persuasions of Mr.. Hail."
said Mr. Edward J. Douglass, gentleman
connected with Mr.. Halls department, that
l owe my present ability to perform my work.
Some weeks ago was violently attacked with
sciatic rheumatism, and hour by hour / grew
worse, and nothing my family or the doctor
could do gave me any relief began to think
in few days that my case was hopeless and
that l was doomed to be an invalid and help
less cripple for life. But at last thought OF
that picture which had so often looked at
with but little interest, and then Mr.. Hall
came to my bedside, and telling me how St.
Jacobs Oil had cured him of worse and long
or standing case than mine, urged me to use
the same remedy. 1 did SO that very night,
directing my wife not to spare it but to apply
it thoroughly according to the directions; this
she did with a large piece Of flannel cloth
saturated with the OIL and then bound the
cloth to the affected parts. The next morn
ing was free from pain, and although little
sore in the hip was able to dress myself, and
the next day resumed my duties in the Office
as sound as dollar Here am now in full
health and strength, having had no touch of
rheumatism or orther pain since Whenever
see one of our drivers or any other person
who shows any symptoms of lameness or stiff
ness, point him to the picture in Mr.. Halls
Office, and then direct him to go for st. Jacobs
Oil at once "-N. Y. Eyeaing Telegram.
