THE REYNOLDS Casa petition has
been circulated at Madison in favor of
Gen. Thomas Reynolds, charged with
extensive pension frauds. All the state
officers, three of the Supreme court judges
and many members of the legislature have
signed the petition. Gen. Bryant, post
master of Madison, has charge of the
document. The excellent record made
by Gen Reynolds in the war is recited in
the petition and attention is called to his
age. The Attorney General of the Unit
ed States is asked to quash the indict.
ment against him upon payment of the
amounts alleged to have been stolen. It
Is said that the document is covert ad-
issiop of guilt and is in fact a plea
& clemency in view of the previous
cod record made by Gen. Reynolds.

THE CHIEF CLERKSHIP.
DUBUQUE, Iowa, Feb. 81, Is

DUBUQUE, Iowa, Feb. 81, 1883.
EDITOR REPUBLICAN:-I find the fol-
lowing in late number of the St. Paul
Pioneer Press:
Boss Winans, of GAINESVILLE, is in bad
odor with the members of the Wisconsin
assembly, through the utter failure of
his man Friday, Carr, of Jefferson, whom
he put into the chief clerks chair. Carr
was unable to perform any of the duties
of his office. The assembly secured the
services of a competent man, Mr.. Spoon
er, to perform Cars duties, and now, ow-
ing to the alacrity with which the latter
gentleman drew his salary for the entire
session, must go down ia their pockets for
$500 to pay for the work. The Demo
cratic assembly Of the Badger State is not
a thing to be proud of this session, and
Carr is the worst pill in the box.
If the assembly cannot make any use
of Mr.. Carr, and in fact have to hire a
man out of their own pockets to fill his
place, would it not be good idea for the
members to try to hire him out to P. T.
Barnum for "What is it?" or "What is
he?" for he certainly is not clerk Of the
House only so far as drawing the salary
is concerned.

A LONDON temperance lecturer CAV,

A LONDON temperance lecturer gave
recently some curious statistics in regard
to the amount expended in intoxicating
liquor. He estimated the annual average
thus spent in the last ten years at GI44,
100000. This gives an expenditure of
of 912,000,O00 every month, of G3,0O0,-
600 every week, and of 95 every second,
night and day. There are 3,5e8, 4Se let
tiers in The Bible, and if Al sovereigns
were placed on every letter, this would
represent the annual expenditure. The
grain consumed by the brewers and dis
tillers is sufficient to provide four loaves
per week to every family in the United
Kingdom. These certainly are startling
facts

1T is rumored that Senator Hampton
will shortly resign his seat in the United
States Senate. There is probably no
foundation for the report. 1t is known
that he is tired of public life, but there is
good reason to believe that he will con-
inue to serve in the Senate until his
present term of Office expires. During
the recent political campaign Senator
Hampton stated that he would never be
a candidate for office again

THE allopathic bully in New York, with
his doses of mineral poison and prescriptions
in Latin, still dominates the homeopathic.
The Academy of Medicine lately passed a
resolution demanding that the State Medical
society rescind its rule permitting medical
consultations with homeopathists. These dis
NAL and antquated fogies will wake up short
ly to find that this is not an age for proscdp-
tive and illberal dogmas in any department Of
science, art or industry. But it is not only in
sentiment but in professional adequacy as
we'll that the New York allopathist is behind
the age.

SECRETARY j q. BLAINE'S IN1ERNA'

1t is probably more than half forgotten that
ex Secretary of State, Hon. James G. Blaine,
issued about two years ago invitations to all
the North and South American nations TO as

press for the objects which the name implies
The State office is now about TO issue its
volume Of diplomatic correspondence which
will contain the letters of invitation and the
cordial acceptance Of the proposal Of all the
nations. There seems to have been no fur
ther action taken in the premises by the State
department, which we regard as highly repre-
hensible and as calculated to inspire univer-
sal regret that Secretary Blaine withdrew from
the post of Secretary. We have heard Of
nothing in President Arthur's administration
so objectionable as its failure to follow
up the replies Immediately with the
initial proceedings for the congress. Not
day should have been lost, not only because
there is lack of dignity, of self respect and OF
the faith and comfy of nations in such neg
lect, but because the sautary effects of the
action Of such congress, especially upon the
weaker powers, would constitute benefac-
ton Of great magnitude. AS Tor the measure
itself, it is worthy Of our great country and OF
the civilization of this progressive age. 1t
will make war impossible among the powers
of this continent. The misery, devastation,
bankruptcy and ruin in all the forms in which
it may be infected upon people by war, re-

Most people understand that hair does
sometimes grow after death, but there are,
perhaps, few who know that there is a very
considerable growth in at least one-third of
the cases where bodies are inferred in the
usual manner. A story was told by Oscar
Wilde at dinner party in New York which
illustrates this fact. When Gabriel Dante
Rossetti was very young--scarcely more than
a boy--said Mr. Wilde, he was deeply in love
with young girl, and, having poets gift,
he sang poets love in numerous sonnets and
verses to her. She died young, and by her
wish the manuscripts Of these poems were
nlaced in a casket and laid under her head,
so that even in the last sleep they should be,
as thew always had been, kept beneath her
uillow. Years passed by, and Rosseiti'S fame
grew until every line of his composition be-
came precious, and some Of those who priced
his writings most asked him tor copies OF the
SONGS that had been buried. He had kept no
copies. or they had been lost. AT all events
he could furnish none, and when they asked
him to rewrite the verses he declared
that he was utterly unable to do
so. At last his friends importuned
him for permission to have the original
manuscripts exhumed. He consented after
some hesitation, and the necessary prelim-
inaries having been complied with, the grave
which had been sealed for many years was
opened. Then strange thing was found
The casket containing the poems had proven
to be Of perishable material and its cover had
crumbled away. The long tresses Of the cir
had grown after death, and had twined ant
intertwined among the leaves of the poets pa
per- coling around the written words OF love
In loving embrace long after death ha'
sealed the lips and dimmed the eye that ha'
made response to that love.

the physical to the philosophical field OF cen
lecture to arrive at any theory concerning it
There never was time since the historic
period began when the human mind did not
accept the belief that there are ProvIdenees
that imposed Affections upon men in
all forms, war, pestilence, famine and
every other, in order to bring them to
a sense OF their dependence upon the Divine
Giver. The world pretends to have out lived
its superstition, to have grown wise in its
philosophy, but there are none to-day that
can discern the mystery Of occult causes so
apparently linked with the governing power
that directs creation, and who assign to acct
dent. or chance, the constantly recurring
calamaties that sweep away so many lives and
make death so familiar visitation. Does
any one doubt that these disasters operate as
a check upon the wickedness Of men, that II
death we're only heard Of on occasions OF
sickness, where bereavements may be borne
because expected, having nothing to harrow
the soul or freeze the blood with sense oil
terror, as constantly occurs, would there not
be less restraint upon mems evil
passions, more reckless license in the indulg
ence OF vicious desires? 1t is at least safe to
fear. If not believe, that the cyclone, the Oft
recurring food and other like agencies are
ministers, if not of Divine wrath yet of the
universal economy imposed by the necessities
of human frailty for the final redemption Of the
race.
