National Republican., 1882-12-19

"The appeal of Mr.. Mills, of Texas, for a
Christmas adjournment would have melted
heart Of stone," observed afellow-congressman
yesterday. "He has to start on the fourth
of July from his wild pasture-land at the
yonder end of the Rio Grande in order to
reach Washington by the first of December,
and he will not know until next year whether
he has been reelected or not. 1t would be
burning shame to deprive Mr. Mills of the
blessed privilege of polishing the shinbone of

pale light of buffalo chip-fre."

Under that process the bonded debs
which we seek now to get rid of wa,
largely increased in volume and val lie
at great expense to the people of the
United States. Now we say, those of
us who agree with me on this subject,
that this debt having been thus enor-
mously, unwisely, and wickedly en-
hanced, shall not continue rs an
incubus to another generation, but
shall be paid off as soon as possible,
because it is rock of offense by Iea-
son of this process of accretion which
has been applied to it, but because in
dependent of that it is in the way of
the development of this country; and
the purpose, as l believe, certainly one
of the effects of this bill as originally
introduced and as it came from the
committee, was to perpetuate that
debt. In that shape | could not have
voted for it, but as it now is whether
any portion is refunded or not is of
slight consequence, for the option is
preserved and the secretary of the
treasury has before him the plain duty
to pay it as fast as the revenues come
in, which will l believe be to as great
an extent during the next five years as
during the prosperous ones just behind
us. In not over five years the extend
ed bonds and all the new ones which
may be issued under the bill will be
paid off.

Get Rid of the Incubus.

In speech in the United States SEN
ate last week Mr.. Plumb said:
think, Mr.. President. that this dis
cussion has done some good. / think
we shall be able to some day arrive at
the conclusion that the people OF the
United States are entitled to have ap-
piled to the finances Of this govern
ment that plain, practical common
sense which they apply to every day
affairs, that there is to be no monopoly
or patent whereby certain set of in
dividuals are to control and manage the
finances Of his government to the ex-
clusion o. de people and their meth
DDS.
We have been sold in the course of
his debate, that we should be prepared
for panics, and every art of persuasion,
and 1 might say of bulldozing, has been
brought to bear here for the purpose
of keeping this bill in the line Of di.
rection which was given to it by the
finance committee; and that was done
on the assumption that all the knowl
edge applicable to this subject resides
not only within the breasts and knowl
edge of a few individuals, but those
few individuals living uncommonly
close to the sea-coast. l think the
public sentiment of this country has
been stihed heretofore, and perverted

Red flames tenderly fold them,
They are burning my heart away.
They drop from my Quivering fingers
Into the tlampS's dull roar,

And the smoke of my burning incense
Floats up to the blind, black sky.

The Gambler,

Here is vivid picture of the gam
bier, by DR.. Talmage:
Every other business yields some
thing to the community. Even The
strolling musician contributes to our
amusement. Even the fly purifies the
atmosphere. Bat the gambler gives
nothing. No; | recall that. lie does
give some return in the destruction of
the men whom he victimizes: disgrace
to his wife, ruin to the children; death
to his soul. The gambler does pay,
but he pays in poverty, ruin, tears,
blood, woe and perdition,
"Come into the ten.pin alley where
there are husbands, fathers, brothers,
sons. Boys, set up the pins! Quick,
here, set 'em up Roll the ball! That
strikes. Down goes the immortal soul !!
1t is not 50 much the pins that fall, but

an interest in trumps. A small stake
is put. Then he takes more interest.

What Constitutes He'll.

DR.. Norman Macleod is accredited
with the following:
"Let the fairest star be selected, like
a beauteOus island in the vast and
sh0reless sea of the azure heavens, as
the future home of the criminals from
earth, and let them possess what they
most love, and all that is possible for
God TO bestow; let them be endowed
with undying bodies, and with minds
that shall ever retain their intellectual
powers; let no Saviour ever press his
claims upon them, no Sabbath ever
dawn upon them, no saint ever live
among them, no prayer ever be heard
within their border; but let society eX.
ist there forever, smitten with the
leprosy of enmity to God, and with
utter selfshness as its all-pervading
and eternal purpose-then, as sure as
the law of righteousness exists, on
which rests the throne of God, and the
government Of the universe, a society,
so constituted, must work out for itself
a hell of solitary and bitter suffering,
to which there is no limit except the
capacity of the infinite nature. Alas
the spirit that is without love to God
Or its neighbor is already possessed by
a power which must at least create
for its own self-torment a worm that
will never die, and fire that can never
be quenched."

Cooking Food For Animals.

Cooking Food For Animals.
Western Eural.
The subject of cooking food fol
animals is one which incites frequent
inquiries, and one to which we have
necessarily frequently referred. Like
most other questions it has two sides
and those who have had experience
have some what different opinions up
on it, some of them being very set OF
either side. 1t is a matter, however
of such Importance to the swine breed
ers especially as to make it worthy OF
due deliberation. We have no doubt
whatever of the general utility OF
cooking for hogs. although it is not
wholly without disadvantages. Wher
corn is cheap these disadvantages viii
outweigh the advantages, and We
should feed the raw meterial; bu'
when the corn is dear, it will be to the
feeders interest TO cook the feed.
To appreciate the utility of cooking
food, and to know what food to cook
the process of digestion must be un'
derstood, at least so far as the office OF
the stomach is concerned. We need
only make the suggestion that the
functions of that organ will be more
easily performed if what is taken into
it is rendered easily operated upon by
the gastric juice, If, for instance, a
stone be taken into the stomach, or the
pit of a cherry, or anything of that
nature, the gastric juice cannot effect
its dissolution, and it will pass away
as it was taken in. Whatever there.
fore is hard is difficult to dissolve, aud
the difficulty is just in proportion to
the hardness of the material 10 be
operated upon. The hog it is true,
Overcomes this difficulty, by most
thorough mastication. But corn
swallowed whole is a pretty lard ma
terial, and more difficult Of digestion
than even when the smooth, hard
surface is broken by grinding. Corn
meal will digest much more readily
than whole corn. But all the time
that is wasted-if We may be allowed
to use the term-in digesting whole corn
is in manner lost. The functions Of
the stomach being performed with the
miximum of difficulty, the work is ia
the nature of being exhaustive TO that
organ, and the system is not being
supplied as rapidly with material for

To Avoid Breathing contagion.

DI, TVVI6t lVtlVH lIOlEHlys
A writer in the nineteenth century
says that contagion consists of minute
solid particles, and not gaseous dissem-
ination, If this is true we can readi-
ly understand that a person who
breathes only through the nose will be
much less likely to catch a contagious
disease in sick room than would a
mouth-breather. Free ventilation,
perfect cleanliness, and frequent chang.
es Of clothing, afford the best means
of removing the contagious particles
given off by sick persons.

History of Smallpox.

Smallpox arose in the very darkest
period OF medieval times. 1t first invad-
ed England in the ninth century; it was
common in Arabia in the tenth the cru
sades carried it through all Southern
Europe; it reached Norway in the four
teenth century; in 1917 it was carried to
st. Domingo by the Spaniards along with
slavery, the inquisition, the rack, and a
host of other blessings three years later
it crossed to Mexico and slew three mill
ions; it invaded Ireland in 1907, and
Greenland in 1888, Staying a fourth part
of the residents in the former, and a
large proportion of those in the latter
country, and despite all that medical
skill has done and is doing to cast it from
the earth, it bids fair to retain its hold
in some measure, as long as popular ig
norance, restitution, negligence and care
lessness continue to combat the physi
| clans and the dictates of common sense
