The Connecticut banks hold unclain

The Connecticut banks hold unclaim-
ed deposits to the amount Of over 5000
600. These deposits have been undis-
turbed for over twenty years and it is
supposed the depositors are dead. But
the banks have made no effort to dis
cover the heirs and in many cases actu-
ally refuse to give any information re-
garding these funds.
However, a bill is now before the
Connecticut legislature providing, that
after three annual publications of the
names of the depositors, other than
those known to be living, the money
shall be transferred to the State Treas
urer. That officer is then to sretain the
funds for thirty years, charging up three
per cent. interest if unclaimed at the
end of that time it reverts to the State:
The banks are fighting the bill and
secured an unfavorable report from the
committee on banks, but it has since
been referred to another committee and
it is likely to pass.-[States.

During the recent flood in Arkansas a
farmer got his family and effects in a
flatboat and sailed around for number
of days on the style of Noah. Finally,
having no dove on board, he strapped
demijohn to his sons back and sent
him on mission of discovery. When
the boy returned with the demijohn
full they knew that the waters we're
subsiding and that the cross roads tav-
ern was still safe.-[City Item.

BAYOU CH1CoT, La, May 81, 1882.
Editor DEMOCRAT:
We have been the recipients OF line
season during the week just passed, ana
the growing crops look we'll. The pre-
vailing east and north winds have been
little too cool for the season, but 9th
erwise the weather suits us. Another and
we think very grlevouS wrong comes
up now. The legislature is in session and
the time is opportune for its redress.
We refer to the leasing of convlcts to
work Oh farms, railroads and levees by
the State. We have curiosity to know
by what authority the State can sell
condemned man to Mr.. James or any,
body else, when the highest tribunals OF
the State have sentenced the same man
to a certain number OF years at hard
labor ''ln the penitentlary." Nothing Is
ever said in sentencing a man about his
work on leyees and railroads, but in
the penitentiary" is never left out.
Liberty is sweet and temptation is at
forded the convicts daily to try and es-
cape, the penalty of which is often
death. The man sentenced for a petty
larceny say for one year shares the
same fate in attempting to, regain his
liberty as the murderer. Are we set
rewards for crimes. We send prisoners
to the State prison for their crimes to
be hired out with the proviso that they
will be returned if not worked to death
in swamps or killed by hireling guards
in an effort to get away. 1t is a shame
to the intelligence and humanity OF the
state of Louisiana and the Legislature
should put stop to it at once.
One more grOwl and we are done for
the present. Maligned and prosecuted
from the earliest ages up to the present
date the acquisltive, energetic, self
proyident and ever generous jew has
fought his way along the journey OF life
with scarce a whisper OF disapproval
from the civilized world at the persecu-
tions maledictions and atrocities that
have been heaped upon him here and
yonder under the sanction OF might in
lieu Of right. Reader ponder over the
situation of the Russian Jews, think Of
their suffering bodily and mentally.
Theirs is fate over which the enlight-
enment Of the 10Th century can blush
for very shame. Away with America
and Europe's boasted Slogan of free
dom OF religious opinion SO long as the
tvranical arm of autocratic Russia sane
tons such dabolical fiendishness whose
concoction and execution the arch
fends of hell would blush to undertake.
Tear down the blazoned lie of religious
liberty until the powers OF earth shall
say to this pandemonium Of lust, arson,
murder and persecution "Peace, be
still" And when the protest is entered
let it bear no dubious signitication and
be enforced it necessary by sterner
measures than wordy protestations.
Ireland needs the same. 1t all the
blood and treasure the negroes free
dom cost was justified by the, end how
much more do we not owe the Anglo
Saxon in every cline and the future
must soon decide whether we are ad-
vancing or retrograding. Nous Ve,rons.
Respectfully,
p K

In a MaelstrOm.

A Scandinavian emigrant gives the
following account of tragedy in the
famous Lofoden maelstrom, his rustic
patois of the fords doubtless being
lost in the free translation" of a
Toronto reporter A few years ago,
on q delightful July evening, I saw
body OF Goldfish rise by the edge of the
whirlpooPs outer circles, and immedi-
ately after the cod had risen whale
arose among them and spouted. The
column of spray blown up like q
geyser attracted the attention of a
small fishing boat not less than a
half mile distant, and knowing that
where the whale blew there was cod,
they pulled toward the spot. In the
boat was pretty old man and his son,
a lad of about sixteen. They had just
come for the first time out to the Lo-
fodens, and now pulled carelessly inside
the circle. Their boat began to move
slowly around, but they went on fishing
unmindful of the motion. But the
movement increased, as every minute
the circle. grew smaller and the swirl
moved faster. At length the truth
dawned upon the luckless old man and
the boy. faint scream of terror from
the lad came over the water; they
grasped their oars and pulled
with desperation, But they were
IN. the meshes. 1t seemed as if
some fend we're dragging them to the
vortex. For time they held their own
against the centerward force, but only
for while. The old mans strokes be-
came less steady, so did the lads. The
latter again rallied, and was pulling
with the desperation of despair when
his oar unshipped and fell over. In a
moment it was carried away Then the
two set up a wild, piercing cry, put
their hands up, praying to God for
mercy they could not expect deliver
ance. In a minute or two il was all
over. The boat was whirled round and
round, then her stern was seen to rise
in the air, then, with all she contained,
the disappeared forever.

HEALTH HINTS.

WHAT TO DO FoR A SroK- -HEADAoHE. --
Don't take cup Of strong tea, dose
OF "blue mass" or anti-bilious pills;
but II you have an attack Of genuine
siclx-headache, the whole head aching
as though il would split, the temples
throbbing, the tongue coated, and
mouth tasting bad, no appetite, more
or less nausea, and constipated bowels.
drink q pint of warm mot hot)
water. Keep drinking until free
vomiting is induced, thus washing
out the stomach and relieving it of its
load of decomposing, undigested food.
Next take hot enema, apply hot TO-
mentations to the bowels and drink
freely of very hot water. A fomeuta-
tion about the head or between the
shoulders will usually relieve the head
ache very mach. Eat nothing for
twenty four hours, and aiterward live
upon fruits and grains, avoiding meat
butter, pastry, sugar, sauces and all in
digestible foods.
FooD.-The chief meals of the day
should be breakfast and dinner, and
they should be served regularly. All
food, both flesh and vegetable, should
be well cooked, not eaten in partially
raw condition. For heavy work the
best drink is quarter of pound Of oat
meal we'll boiled in two or three quarts
of water, with an ounce and half of
sugar added. Beer or alcoholic drinks
should be altogether avoided by
young persons, and should only
be taken in diluted form, with
food, after the days work is done.
Liebig's essence of beef is recommended
as the best stimulant of a ready kind
for fatigue strong tea or coffee corr
ing next to it. As to yourg peone 1t is
mentioned that factory oi.idren be-
tween thirteen and sixten years of age
were found to grow lour times as fast
on milk for brasifast and supper, as on
tea and coffe. When food is given too
hot to chj..rsn, it damages their teeth.
For theopposite extreme, old age, the
food should be very digestible and
spAll in quantity. Very old people
~,hould be always spare in their diet.

minister s wife, receives no visitors and
never leaves the building occupied by
the legation, she is, I hear, very cheer
full, as she has always been accustomed
to seclusion. Her husband has two
nephews here, lads of fourteen and
nineteen years of age, respectively,
and they are permitted to see her,
as according to the Chinese eti-
quette husbands younger brothers
and his nephews may see his
wife, but no other of his male relatives.
These nephews are very int iigent,
and although they came only in De-
cember already speak English we'll.
made great progress. MIR. Bartlett, the
American secretary of the Chinese lega
tion, has wife and daughter who, be-
cause of his connection with the lega.
tion, are permitted by the minister to
call on his wife, and when they do SO
converse with her through his
nephews. 1t is a rigorous custom
in China to seclude lady of rank. Mrs
Angel, the wife of our minister to
China, who was recently here with hel
husband, mentioned that during hel
four years residence in China she never
saw a Chinese LADY of rank. The wife
of the viceroy, who lives in one of the
larger Chinese cities, has been i'm
INJURED in Ler house for several years
because there is no one in the place
where she lives of high enough ranl
for her to call upon. The only othel
lady in the empire on whom the vice
roy's wife could call is the empress
who lives at Pekin, where the viceroy'l
wife does not live e- Washington
