In the German Reichstag an Ac-
count of the fund for the relief of the
sufferers by the foundations was given
on February 10th. by the President,
who mentioned the amounts received
from America and elsewhere. Herr
Bernuth asked that the House express
its thanks for these large donations.
The request was greeted with loud
applause, which the President said he
regarded as an expression of the
thanks of the House The sum re-
csived from the United States was
SIS, 100 marks (S14O,O26).

the ballot then it is high time there
was a change, and there must be one.
The time is not far in the future
when women will stand side by side
with men, and vote for or against the
laws by which the people as whole
are governed. Women are generally
speaking prohibitiOnists aud would GO
against the manufacture or sale of
liquors, save for mechanical and madi-
cal purposes, this being the only sure
means by which people can be kept
from drinking. The temptation being
continually kept before them has
caused thousands to become drunkards
who had it not been for this would
never have fallen.
It is claimed that saloons make
business. True the marsha's get their
pay for every drunken man or boy they
shoulder and take to the lookup, but
if the business of part of the COM
munity depends upon the ruin Of the
balance then let such business go BY
the board, the women do not want
traps set on every corner to catch their
husbands and children as they are
passing to and from their places of
labor. there to spend the few dimes of
hard earned money in getting drunk,
and going home and abusing the
family who were perhaps starving for
the want of it, just for the marshals
sake, but sufficient has been said upon
this slim point. Every body knows,
and if the saloon keepers themselves
would tell the truth, they would say
they were curse to the people and
nothing else, but as they can with a
very small capital few qualifca tions,
and little labor manufacture out our
friends, drunkards. thieves, gamblers,
murderers, lunatics, suicides, and get
we'll paid for it, they will stick to the
job and sing their conscience quieting
song Of
What care we for signs, what care we for tears,
What care we for parents, who are bowed down
with years,
TITS the easiest way by which to gain wealth.
And its every mans business to look out for
himself.
1t is easier for us to sit here in our dens,
And deal out our whiskey to the boys, and tn e
men,
Than it is with bucksaw to earn our own
bread,
And yet know that our families must be eloth
ed, schooIed, and fed.
Fineorgans, and pianos, for taose we must pay,
And we never could do it and work by the day,
And parlor sets too, they cost big price,
And every thing else, we get that is nice.
With which you know the big bugs would look
down,
And pass by their neighbors with scowI and
a frown,
This hurts the feelings of men that are proud
So we II stick to our business as long as allowed
With our windows all painted to shield us from
sight,
We will sell beer and whiskcy by day and by
night
lis the money we are after, and we belong to
that class,
Who could deal out damnation at bets glass.
Right here is profit we cannot forego,
Though it fills the whole country with sorrow
and woe,
Starving, barefooted children what's that to
us,
We have license to sell it and sell it we must.

JEFFERSON DAVIS says that while
he was Secretary of War Hiram
Powers, in designing the statue of the
Goddess of Liberty now on the
Capitol at Washington, placed on the
head elderly cap ITO this cap
adds Davis, Il objected, because it
was among the Romans the badge of
emancipated slave and as the people
of the United States were born free
men it was held to be inappropriate to
US. Mr.. Powers yielded to the OBJ
lection and designed headdress Of
feathers for the figure. This was ac-
cepted.'

The adjourned session of the county
board met at the court house Tuesday
afternoon and disposed of considerable
business, the major part of which was
tbs allowance or rejection of bills. The
final reports Of the Clerk and Treas
urer were referred to the committee
for correction. At supper time there
being more bills to dispose of the
board held an evening session. The
committee on county jail was ordered
to erect a stone or brick wall around
the Jail windows on the west side of
the building and have another iron
door placed at the jail door. The
bridge committee were ordered to re-
pair the bridge and rcplank it if neces-
sary. Some remarks were made to
the effect that a move to make the
bridge toll bridge would receive a
large support from the outside men,
bers While the old court house
question was under consideration, Mr..
Voight of the town of Grand Rapids
offered the board 500 for their right
in the property The Board accepted
his offer and instructed Dist. Attorney
Williams to make the deed aud the
Chairman and Clerk to execute the
same. The official proceedings We
will publish as soon as they are
recorded.

PILES.

Piles are frequently preceded by a
sense of weight IN the back, loins and
lower part of the abdomen, causing
the patient to suppose he has some
affection of the kidneys or neighbor-
ing organs. At times, symptoms of
indigestion are present, as fatuency,
uneasiness of the stomach, etc. A
moisture, like perspiration, producing
q very disagreable itching, particularly
at night after getting warm in bed, is
a very common attendant. Internal,
external and itching Piles yield at
once to the application Of DR.. Bosan-
kos Pile Remedy, which acts directly
upon the parts affected, absorbing the
Tumors, alleaving the intense itching,
and efecting a permanent cure where
all other remedies have failed. Do
not delay until the drain on the system
produces permanent disability. but try
it and be cured. Price, so cents. Ask
your druggist for it, and when you can
not obtain it of him, we will send it,
prepaid, on receipt of price. Address

The Question of Immigration.

The question OF the restriction of i'm
migration is likely to be a prominent
one at an early day. just now paupers
arc entering the port Of New York in
large numbers, sent over, it is said, by
by the British authorities. II is not
known that they are of any of the
classes, OF criminals, lunatics and per-
sons liable to become public charge,
who are forbidden TO enter the land by
the present national laws. They
come over without money in their
pockets and may become public
charge but if they are physically able
to labor, this cannot be so predicated of
them as TO warrant their exclusion.
There is very large immigration into
the country of European laborers who
come without. money. Many are i'm
ported to satisfy the railroad demand
for cheap labor. Car loads of Italians
Tor some time past have been daily
set down at railroad stations near TO
the line of the railroads now being act
lively built in this state in the Wander
bilt interest. When the railroads are
done with these laborers they will still
remain to enter into competition for
other labor. The advent is generally
unwelcome to the community into which
they come. They are not very lovely
class of men and il will be some time
before they can be rubbed up into good
citizens.
On the Pacific slope the industrious
Chinese are tabooed, notwithstanding
their valuable assistance in the improve
ment of the country The anti-Chinese
feeling there is dominant politically /;
largely, no doubt, because the Chinese
do not vote. The people whom the
English government and the railroads
bring into the Atlantic ports will vote
some day and the politicians will in
cline to handle them gingerly. Still
there are in the situation elements cal
culated to give birth to a party that
will oppose further free immigration.
1t is even probable that neither of the
existing parties will care to continue to
favor the admission of everything in
human shape that presents itself at our
ports, save the crazy and criminal.
There may be an agreement in the de.
mand for the revision of our immigra-
ton laws, so as TO forbid the further
importation of the population of other
countries.-Lancaster hatelligencsr

President Garfeld's Remains.

The guards are still watching the
tomb of the late president. When the
correspondent walked up to the vault
in Lake View cemetery containing
Garfeld's body lonely and solitary
private was patrolng in front of the
vault, with a tired and weary look on
his face. By the way he held his mus
ket should Judge it weighed in the
neighborhood of a hundred pounds.
Inside the vault, near the entrance, is a
tall silver vase, which is filled with
beautiful flowers twice each week by a
florist employed by Mrs. Garfield. On
the casket is a handsome wreath of i'm
mortelles placed there by Modjesca, the
actress, whenin Cleveland some months
ago Near the leaf lies sheaf of
wheat, laid there by Garfelds father
in-law. At the base of the casket lies
the large palm that was placed on the
casket at Elberon on that warm morn
ing in August when services were held
in the Franklyn cottage by the sea
shore.
Fronting the tomb is wire fence,
on the gate of which hangs a small
box, which is used as a receptacle for
small contributions by visitors to the
Garfield monument fund. The average
receipts are about $3.50 per day. At
this rate it would not take many years
to secure goodly sum with which to
builda modest monumnet.

the dead recently 7" was asked of the
guard in attendance.
"Yes the lieutenant in charge sees
the body once month. You see, the
officer having the body in charge is
held responsible for its safe preserva-
ton, and when the lieutenants change
off on the first month, the newly arrived
officer unscrews the plate that covers
the glass over the casket and looks in
to see that the remains are still there.
1t is a most dsagreeable task, | assure
you. The last time | saw the body
there was every indication that 1t was
rapidly crumbling TO dust. The face
was covered with white mould and
the features were well-nigh obliterat-
ed"
"Do the relic hunters annoy you to
any great extent
"Yes, they bother us terribly. They
carry anything that they can lay their
hands on even the grass that grows
around the vault For this reason we
were compelled to place wire fence
around the vault. In my opinion
there was really no necessity for the
placing of a guard around this grave

The night after Garfelds body was

rattling at the vault door, One of the
men claimed to be a United States officer
and wanted to know why no guard
was stationed at the grave. The sex

Thinnlng-out OfFruit.

This work can scarcely be extended
beyond the garden, and even there
it can be performed only on not over
large trees. The pear Is especially
needed to have this operation perform
ed, and it should be done at almost
any time now, aud the sooner perhaps the
better, and the stunted, or imperfect
surplus growth removed. Care should
be taken to thin out the clusters, as
fruit seldom does well where the speci-
mems touch each other. For some rea-
son the insects are sure to attack the
fruit ia clusters, and instead of only
one falling a prey to their operations,
two or three will be included, A small
