RiGousness, Sick Headache.

FITTSFIFLD, NASb. MEssRs. c. I. HooD & Co.,. Gents-Please send me by express two bottles HooD's SAR- sAPARIILA and a few Cook Books for dis tribution. Your preparation has worked wonders in the case of my wife, who has ,a, iOusness for years. She only took one-half teaspoonful at dose, and has not been so well for five years as now. She found that within week after taking it she felt very much better, and is now entirely free from those severe headaches. She has not taken any of any account since last spring. and what little she had is lent to do some others some good, and we must have it in the house.
 Yours truly,

A RemuneratiVe Field for We
mans work.
New York SUM-


A remunerative employment for
women has been found in the use of
the type-writing machine. 1t is not
an unusual thing for a very expert
manipulation of the machine to earn
$40 or $12, or even more, in a single
day at copying legal documents.
The Old-fashioned method of pro-
ducing copies of legal papers by
manuscript was long since partly
supplanted by the work of the copy
ing press and other mechanical de-
vices for copying. But, by the fail
ure of chemicals, the unskillfulness
of operators, or other causes, it
often happens that the copying
press not only fails to produce
a good copy, but spoils the
original. Judge Blachford once
issued an order that no copying
press documents should be received
III his court. He had got tired try
ing TO decipher the blurred and
shadowy pages. The type-writing
machine has proved boon to law
yers and judges in furnishing legi-
BILE copies of official documents.
The old-fashioned carbon paper, or
something akin to it, is put in the
machine, and several copies may be
printed at once.
The operation of printing is
much like that of playing OH the
piano. There is keyboard
of the letters, and the facility
of printing is measured by
the dexterity of the operator. 1t
has Leen found that the delicate
touch ofwomen is peculiarly adapted
to this work. Some of them can
write with type writing machine
as fast as the most expert penmen,
and they will keep it up longer than
is customary with the pen. 1t is
now quite common for stenographers
in The law courts to dictate their
notes of the testimony to type writ
ers, who at one operation produce
copies for both counsel and the
court. The swiftness and exactness
with which the work is done is mar
velous.
Preliminary education-above all
the capacity to spell well and
promptly-is a requisite with the ex-
pert type writer. There are num-
Der of firms of women who do type
writing for lawyers and others.
There are also numbers of women
who combine type-writing with
stenography. Clerks possessing this
double skill are employed by many
merchants.
The moment a letter is received
the reply is dictated to a stenogra-
pher, who reproduces it on the type
writer, taking copy at the same
time, and in few minutes the print
ed answer will be in the postoffice,
and the printed copy in the letter
book. The Young Women's Chris
tian association saw the new
field for furnishing employment
some time ago, and has aided con-
siderable number to become self
supporting in this way.

the friends of Mr.. Epson put him in
the attitude of quarreling with the
people of Bastrop, Blanco, Burnct,

nard, Mason, Reynolds, San Saba,
Travis aud Williamson? None of
these counties, now in the tenth.
were in the old sixth congressional
district that sent Mr.. Epson to con-
gress. Mr.. Epson received in the
old sixth district p, 521 votes, and of
these only 6312, or less than one
fourth, came from that part of the
old sixth district which now
belongs to the tenth. John Hancock
had represented this people in con-
gress three terms, and they wanted
him again. What more natural, then,
than that they should do as they did
do, of their own will and without
any speeches or electioneerifg on
the part of Hancock, send their dele
gates to Austin to vote for him? But
enough of this late unpleasantness.
We are willing 10 overlook and for
give. Let us all now put our shout
ders to the wheel and work in har-
mony and with the determination
10 roll up splendid majority-one
that we will point to in after years
with pride. In a few weeks Judge
Hancock will return to the state and
enter upon borough canvass. In
the meantime, let Democrats every
where organize clubs. send out
speakers and begin the work in
downright earnest, and keep the ball
in motion until the polls shall close
in November. SAN SABA.

[For The Statesnian.1
Tho Congregational Race.


The tenth congressional district
includes the capital of the great
Democratic state of Texas. That
this district should be properly rep
resented in congress is q matter of
most vital concern. The experience,
ability and national reputation of
John Hancock, fits him In an emil
nent degree for the place. That the
opportunity is afforded of securing
his services is indeed most fortunate.
That the people will ratisfv at the
polls the choice of the Austin con-
Yention is certain. But bare cleo
ton is not enough. This district
owes it to itself, and to its distin-
guished standard bearer,to send him
to congress by magnificent vote,
such as it can easily give if but rea-
sonable exertion be made. Will not
the exertion be made? We think it
will. We believe our friends at San
Antonio, Notwithstanding the little
unpleasantness of few days since,
will give him an earnest support.
Why not? They are Democrats,
many of them have been given places
Va nOAOL ou0 PiOAb OI OOhlOCIdt1C
voters. Is principle nothing and
men everything? Surely they will
not now turn their backs on the
Democratic party, and work in
the interest of its most bitter
and vindictIve enemy, e. J. Davis.
We know they will not, for such q
course could but result in perpetu-
atiDg q feeling of rivalry and un-
kindness between two cities and
two sections of the same district
that ought to work together in har-
mony. Shall it come to pass that
men of mature years, men of state
reputation, men always thought to
be worthy of any place within the
gift of the Democratic party, shall en-
gage in the worse than childish and
silly conduct of nursing supposed
personal grievance for years to come,
to the great detriment of the best in
terests of the entire district? viii

The publication in Europe of the
fact that cats are borne upon the
roll of the postoffice department has
evoked the information that in
France also they are employed as
members of the civil service. 1t
must be admitted that in the sister
republic pussy's position is not quite
so agreeable as 1t is here, though
Mr.. Dorman B. Eaton will be graft
fed to learn that duH attention to
the principles of civil service reform
is paid in the selection of official
mouser. Strict competitive examine
tions are held by which the unwor-
thy applicants are eliminated from
the field. Before cat is appointed
to q clerkship in one of the commits
sarIat depOts which are situated in
the five great military seaports, he
or she makes a voyage or two in the
hold of vessel, where the only
rations served out are of water.
For his subsistence the ship-cat
is compelled to forage upon the
ship-rats, which are fierce as we'll as
fat. The result is like that described
IN that passage of the Gospel of Ev-
olution which tells us that the fast
est man caught the most animals,
and the fastest animal got away
from the most men, and the exist
ence in a plump and well-fed condi-
ton of the ships cat at the end of a
cruise is testimony that cannot be
called in question of his fitness to
hold Office. He is thereupon APP
pointed to the honorable and lucra-
tive position of "castor" or sport
cat" receiving besides his lodging
five centimes a day, or 1866 a year.
The pay is not large, but as there
are no two per cent deductions for
Hubbells or Mahones, and as the
berth is for life, the condition OF
these humble servants of the Repub-
lique Franeaise is by no means I'M
desirable.

Cruelty OF Quarantine.

Mrs. Hattie Steck died, August 5,
of nervous fever (wrongfully re-
ported yellow fever), aged twenty
four years. She was member of j.
G. Stuttz's dramatic company. While
en- route from Brazos Santiago,
Texas, to Lake Charles, her FIVE
year-Old son, in playing on deck, fell
through the hatchway OF the vessel
into the hold. All present thought
the child was killed, and the shock
threw his mother into nervous hys-
terical spasms. Fever set in aud re-
suited in her death. The company
had the vessel run into Galveston
for medical attendance, but the ex-
element over yellow fever there
was so great that the quarantine
physician jumped to the hasty con-
clusion that it was q case of yellow
fever, and SO reported 1t, and
the vessel, crew and passengers were
put in strict quarantine. While in
Galveston harbor Mrs. Steck died,
and by order of the board of health
had to be buried at sea at 5 p. M,
August 6. The deceased was an
actress of bright promise, having
made her debut with j. G. Stuttz's
company in 1870, in Pennsylvania,
being then very young. Her maiden
name was Hattie Moore, and she was
. daughter of DIR. Moore, of Barnes
Vile, Ohio. In 1873 she married J ohm
Steck, then a member of the COM
pany, and who survives her. Her
death was great shock to the COM
pany, with whom she was great
favorite. She had every attention
during her brief illness, and as her
body was confined to the waves,
in . shroud of iron chains,
the voice of her darling child was
heard in the distance, laughing with
his plsYmates, he having been kept
IN utter ignorance of the death he
was, in Q measure, the innocent cause

Who Had The Authority !


1t is admitted that the Demo-
cratic party are the hardest people
on earth to unite and consolidate
upon one fixed idea of policy. They
will and do harmonic and agree
perfectly on the principles involved,
but they will differ as to the plan or
policy to be adopted for carrying out
those principles. 1t is hard for a
disinterested person to see the cause
or grounds of difference between
the Epson and Hancock wings in
the Austin convention. The only
reason assigned by the Epson
delegates was that, in their
opinion, Hancock or his friends
had acted in bad faith with Epson.
How2 For the reason, as they
assign, that Hancock was elected
chairman of the Galveston state con-
vention, and in return for that honor
it was agreed that Hancock would
not oppose Epson for congress in
their district. Was there ever such
folly shown by sensible men? Who
had the authority to make any such
a contract? Were Hancock's per-
sonal friends and managers of his
interests empowered by the people
of the district to pledge them in such
an agreement? Certainly not. 1t is
for the people, TO say who they want
as their candidate for congress, and
it is barely the privilege of the man
whom they choose to refuse to serve
them. Surely his friends have no
right to pledge him in an agreement
that will thwart the will of the
DeODle.

The ART OF Leave-Tak,ng.

A contemporary says: Not all have
learned the fine art of leave-taking
in an appropriate manner. When
you are about to depart, do so at
once, gracefully and politely, at is
about time was going" then settle
back and talk aimlessly for another
ten minutes. Some people have just
such a tiresome habit. They will
rise, and stand about the
room in various attitudes, keep
ing their host also standing
and then by an effort succeed
in getting as far as the hall, when a
new thought strikes them. They
brighten up visibly, and stand for
some minutes longer, saying moth
ing of Importance, but keeping
every one in restless, nervous state,
After the door is opened the pro-
longed leave-taking begins, and ev-
erybody in general and particular is
invited to call. What a relief when
the door is finally closed! There is
no need of being Extensively abrupt,
but when you are ready to go-go.

So the microscopical experts who
have been at work on Guiteau's
brain are going to increase the
scientific complication IN that case
by disagreeing reports about his
insanity, as indicated by the cererial
convolutions they have been study
ing. This will only confirm the pop
ular impression that medical science
has not yet got to the point of per-
lection and exactness that will en-
able doctors to tell much more about
the sanitary of subject from dis
section ofhis brain than can by fin
gering the cortex of a living being.
The question of Guiteau's sanity
will never be definitely and decisive
ly settled, but the public mind is
pretty well at rest about his respon-
sibility. Sane or insane, the mass of
the people are well satisfied he was
fit fruit for the gallows.

AMONG the subjects discussed b

AMONG the subjects discussed by
the association for the reform and
codification of the laws of nations, at
its regular meeting, was that ofmar-
rage. The conclusion said to have
been reached is that the rule that q
marriage valid in the place where
contracted should be valid every
where, ought to be made interna-
tional. @This,r says the New York
Post, sis the rule of our courts, but
the fact that it is shows at
once how very slight an i'm
provement would be effected by
making it universal. The rule has
prevailed here since the settlement
of the country, and yet there is no
country in the world where divorce
is 90 easy and the marriage tie so
loose. In fact, in the modern world
this country produces more marital
troubles and complications than all
the rest put together. Much of it
comes from the ease with which for
eign divorces are obtained on short
residence, and this evil canpot be
reduced by making marriage good
in one place good in all"

The Baltimore Sun says that Mr..
Balm, president of the st. Louis mil
leI's association, who is in New
York, gives some information in re.
gard to the development of the
barge transportation on the Missis-
sippi river, between st. Louis and
New Orleans, which is worthy of
the consideration of the trunk line
railroad managers in fixing their
freight rates between st. Louis and
the seaboard cities. Mr.. Balm says
this barge transportation is attract
ing great public attention, especially
i'll the west, and that with the
facilities multiplied there can be
moved from the towns on the
upper Mississippi from 100000 to
100000 bushels per week, at cost,
taking the river and ocean freight
through to Liverpool, of several
cents per bushel less than the charge
for the same service through the
direct routes eastward by way OF
North Atlantic ports. The move
ment of grain down the Mississippi
to New Orleans, even with short
crops, was as nearly great last year
as in 1880. Still the business is in
almost an inchoate condition.

New England PrOhibitOry Laws.
lPhiladelphIa Timesl


1t is well known that the prohibi-
tory laws in the new England states
do not prohibit the traffic in spirits
and malt liquors, but the authorities
find it difficult to deal with the Pc
culiar aspects of the case which the
law creates. In Maine, New Hamp-
shire and Vermont quantities of IL
quor are constantly ordered from
Boston and delivered by express or
freight, generally in packages which
are made up with false marks to
conceal their contents, and when
such goods are delivered directly to
the purchaser and are used for pri-
vate consumption the local officials
are obliged to wink at the eva
sion of the law. Transportation com.
panies are, however, liable to penal
ties for carrying liquors intended
for sale, and the attempt to enforce
the law against an express company
in Augusta, on Saturday. resulted
in serious disturbance, in which a
mob of men and boys captured a
quantity of beer which had been
seized and severely handled the
draymen who were conveying it to
the Jail. If every enforcement o.
the Maine law is going to provoke d
riot in the state where it originated,
1t is time the statute was revised or
the people reformed.

A Deserved Tribute.


Hancock has shown a disposition
not to be ruled rather than a desire
to rule. He is hard to drive, but
not disposed to drive others. His
individuality is strong no doubt, but
his adherence to principle is equally
strong. Many would have driven
him from the Democratic party
when his services seemed not to be
needed and he stood in the way of
others, if they could have made his
sense of wrong and spirit of resent
ment superior to his adherence to
Democratic principles. On the other
hand he has been equally above the
allurements of the Republicans, even
of the moderate portion of that par
ty. 1t is pretty well known that he
could have had high petition IN
der President Hayes if he would
have taken it.

The movement to place restric-
tions on foreign immigration meets
with favor even among some of the
foreigners already in this country,
especially among those belonging to
the labor unions. Mr.. Jarnett,
president of the labor convention
lately in session in Philadelphia, de-
clared himself on that occasion in
favor of placing premium on every
head that comes to this country to
take bread and butter out of The Ia
boring mans mouth by the reduc-
ton of his wages. Discussing the
question the Philadelphia Press
says: "There are a number of rea-
sons why it would be better for the
country if our foreign arrivals came
in at more moderate rate than at
present. 1t is not desirable
to have large communities with
a population in which the for
eign element, language and thought
preponderates over or even ap-
proxlmates to the native. In Da-
kota, in 1880, the native and foreign
whites of twenty-one years and over
we're just about equal, the foreigners
being little ahead. AT present, if
the foreigners were all naturslized
they would outvote the natives by a
considerable majority. The native
whites in Nevada over twenty-one
are but 81 per cent, while the foreign
born are 40 per cent of the total num-
Der of male adults. In Minnesota
there are $4,000 more adult male for
eigners than native. In Wisconsin the
foreign male adults exceed the native
Americans over twenty-one by 40,
600"

A Marvel of Surgery.

DIR. Roswell Park writes from
Prague: l had the pleasure of an
interview with a patient whose
larynx and epiglottis Prof. Cussen-
hauer removed over year ago. Six
weeks after the operation, he began
to wear part of the artificial larynx,
and, after accustoming himself to
this, he gradually learned how to in
troduce and use the reed which
takes the place of the local cord.
The apparatus was made for him
by ROthe. The patient, a rid
ing teacher, is reputed the best
rider in Prague, is busy from morn
ing to night, talking all day, and
suffers not the slightest inconve-
nience or pain. His voice is, of
course, very monotonous, but his
enunciation is excellent, his speech
perfectly Ineligible, and he eats
and drinks with perfect facility.
This case is said to be the best living
example of what the art of the sur
geon and the mechanician can &C
compllsh for such a terrible disease
as cancer OF the larnyx.
