The Sun CHOLERA MIXTURE.
that it has been ascertained that the
cholera which has appeared in Egypt
is the genuine Asiatic article from
which the worst is to be feared should
its march eastward not be stayed by
strict quarantine regulations, cholera
prescriptions are in great demand by
correspondents, who write to the edi-
tor as if he were a personal friend
and the family physician. For more
than forty years what is known as
ssThe Sun Cholera Medicine" has
stood the test of experience as the
best remedy for looseness of the
bowels ever yet devised. As was
once vouched for by the New York
Journal Of Commerce, "no one who
has this by him and takes it in time
will ever have the cholera" Even
when no cholera is anticipated it is an
excellent thing for the ordinary sum-
mer complaints, collie, diarrhea,
dysentery, etc., and we have no hesi-
tation in commencing it. Here it is:
Take equal parts of tincture of cay
enne, tincture of rhubarb, essence of
peppermint, tincture of opium, and
spirits of camphor. Mix well. Dose,
fifteen to thirty drops in wineglass
of water, according to age and vio-
lence of the attack. Repeat every
fifteen or twenty minutes until relief
is obtained Chicago Herald.

One winter evening, shortly after

very wealthy man, and had left her a
large property; but her husband had

which he had been found guilty, and
she had come to me to plead for his

In its direct money value, and in
collateral and indirect benefits, grass
is worth more to the world than all
the cereal crops combined. Its direct
is nothing compared to its indirect
value in the influence it has in pre-
serving the fertility of all farms by
its manurial wealth on our farms. No
man can thrive on farm-no farm
can be self-supporting where grass is
wholly neglected, or advantage is not
taken of stock raised on the grass
farms. The old Belgian proverb is
true-sNo grass, no cattle; no ma
nure, no crops" 1t is supposed by
many that only such soil is not fit for
cultivation in the cereals or roots
should be devoted to grass. This is
mistake. We can afford to take
our best soil for the production of
this crop, and this is the real plan for
bringing them up to the highest point
of fertility.

POVERTY AND POOR
PREACHING.

The calamity which stand in
dread of, and which is next to the
withdrawal of the divine blessing, the
greatest church can suffer, is that
the rising talent, genius, and energy
of our country may leave the minis
try of the gospel for other professions.
ga scandalous maintenance, Mat
thew Henry says. ''makes scanda
lous ministry" And 1 will give you
another equally true. "The poverty
of the parsonage will develop itself
in the poverty of the pulpit" have
no doubt about it. Genteel poverty,
to which some ministers are doomed,
is one of the great evils under the
sun. To place man in circumstances
where he is expected to be generous
and hospitable, to open his hand as
wide as his heart to the poor, to give
his family good education, to bring
them up in what is called genteel life,
and to deny him the means of doing
so is enough, but for the hope of
heaven, to embitter existence.
In the dread of debt, in many daily
notifications, in harassing fears
what will become of his wife and
children when his head lies in the
grave, man of cultivated mind and
delicate sensibilities has trials to bear
more painful than privations of the
poor. 1t is bitter cup, and my
heart bleeds for brethren who have
never told their sorrows, concealing
under their cloaks the fox that gnaws
at their vitals.-Dr. Guthrie.

SUBMISSION.

Dear Lord of life and death
To Thee l bow,
And with each conscious breath
Would trust thee now.
Strange shadows cloud my way,
l cannot see
l look above and say,
'He leadeth me-"
And if l cannot feel
Thy presence near,
Let faith to me reveal
The knowledge clear.
'Tis better far to prove
In sorrows night
The fullness of Thy love,
Its gentle might.
Than in unbroken day,
Meath cloudless sky,
To lose the faith-lit way
That brings Thee nigh.
l do not understand,
Nor need to try;
Do Thou but hold my hand
Till by and by.
Life's mystic path shall cease
At Heavens door,
And !, in perfect peace,
Rest evermore.

\ very generous and meaty install

Power 10 Make the Trade Dollar q LIE,
gal fender.
NcW York Herald.

Nf" LOih LiclutN.
4 West Virginia paper that
the trade dollar is a legal tender for its
face value in that State for all debts, public
and private, having been made so by an
act of the Legislature passed in 1877. This
is a mistake. The statute of 1877 declares
that silver coin issued by the United
States Government shall be a legal tender"
The trade dollar is not a coin issued by the
United States, and therefore dose not come
within the operation of the West Virginia
statute.
But even if the Legislature had express
" declared that the trade dollar should be
a legal tender in that State. that would not
make it so, for the reason that no State has
the constitutional authority TO enact such q
law. The constitution gives to Congress the
power Ito coin money and regulate the
value thereof" and declares that no State
shall coin money, emit bills Of credit or
make anything but gold and silver coin a
tender in payment of debts" At the first
glance the latter clause would seem to be
an express grant Of power to the States to
make any gold or silver coin q legal
tender. But this is not so. When the con-
s~titution was framed several of the States
had made various kinds Of property q legal
tender or sort OF currency. The aim OF the
constitution was to put q stop to this and
to limit legal tender by State authority to
gold and silver coin. But it does mo- fol-
low from this that any legal gold or silver
coin may be made a legal tender by q
State. The main purpose of the constitu-
ton was to secure a national currency or
money of fixed and uniform value through
out the country, and to this end exclusive
control over the subject was vested in Con-
gress.
In 1876 Congress, having previously
made the trade dollar a legal tender to a
limited extent, deprived it Of this quality.
1t declared that the coin should no longer
he q legal tender. If now Weet Virginia
may declare it a legal tender, any State or
every State would have the power to give
the trade dollar q value which Congress
has said it shall not have as q coin, and
thereby to disturb the fixed and uniform
character of the national circulating me-
dunn. This the constitution does not per-
nit. Only Congress has authority to make
the trade dollar q legal tender.

AN Ohio correspondent says the sue

will depend upon what portion Of the
German vote will return, accepting the
Scot law as a settlement of the liquor
question; upon how mady saloon keep

publicans for giving them a standing in
law; upon how many Republican tenn
perance men are led away by the prohi-
bition ticket; upon what proportion Of
the country voters show their lack Of

by staying at home, and finally, upon
the number of Republicans, who, be-

PERSONS AND THINGS,

The estimated population OF Ireland ut
the middle of the year 1882 was 5.o97, 73o.
During that year ss,136 persons emigrated
from Ireland.
Two Chicago girls estimated their ability
to hold their breath. One could not begin
breathing again when she wished to, and
was with difficulty resuscitated.
The expenses Of the French mission to
Moscow at the time of the Cars corona
ton amounted to $50, 900, the German to
$780, 900 and the Austrian to $4,000.
The Secretary Of the Interior has issu ed
IN order to the superintendent OF the Hot
Springs reservation that a free bathing
pool be kept open for the use of the poor
during the usual hours Of bathing.
A MILWAUKEE lawyer has been disbarred
because, in order to induce a man to be-
come his client, has made a ridiculous
promise to secure a big verdict OF damages,
when in fact he knew there was no posi-
bility of securing a dollar.
SENATOR EDMuSDs was surprised at the
welcome extended to him when he entered
the harbor at Victoria, B. c., a few days
ago. Salutes were fired, flags were thro wn

British shipping in the har6or was gayly
decked.
Nh. JUSTICE MoULE sentenced a rura
prisoner in England in the following
words: Prisoner at the bar, the counsel
for the prosecution thinks you innocent,
1 think you innocent. But a jury OF your
own c~ountryman, in the exercise OF such
common sense as they possess, which does
not seem to be much, have found You
guilty and it remains that / should pass
on you the sentence of the law. That Is,
that you be kept imprisoned n day, and
as that day was yesterday, you may go
about your business"
IT would be odd if woman suffrage would
become the custom in Great Britain sooner
than in the United States. That this is pos
sible is indicated by the vote in the House
of Commons of ia ayes to $50 nays on Mr..
Mason's motion to give the suffrage to those
women whose property qualifications allow
them the municipal franchise. So small a
hostile majority must be a hopeful sign fo-
for the friends of woman suffrage.

wHEELINGrs REPRESENTATION AT
THE RESORTS.

The exodus of Wheeling people to
"Summer resorts"-tO the mountains,
the seashore aud the springs, is con-
ceded to be unusually large this year,
but is probably, only an average in
crease on each preceding year.
The population of u city is not
specially a pleasure-loving people, but
there is no other community that bet
ter earns a summer rest and recreation
than this. Our city is a great work
shop in which the masses toll with I'M
wearied regularity at the most exhaust
ing occupations.
1t is as pleasant as it is proper, there
fore, that when the summer heat has
come they have their little spree in the
fresh forests Of the mountains, or sport
upon the waves of old ocean, and none
can enjoy it more intensely than they.
We must earn our rest to appreciate it.
1t is not those who have spent the yesl
in luxurious ease, and come from idle
homes to escape the ennui of a dull sea-
son, who enjoy the summer resort; but
the tired and worn. worker of the mill,
the factory, the store, and the kitchen.
The latter may not have the means to
indulge the luxuries and display the
fashions common to many places Of re-
sort, but they have what wealth can
not command, the sweet sensation of
healthful rest which the contrast with
q year of industrious activity enables
them to fully enjoy and appreciate.
There is nothing lost in the long run
by this cessation Of labor and season OF
rest. 1t brings q period Of comparative
inactivity in business affairs, and those
who stay at home are wont to deplore

pREsIDExrIAL PRErKRExCES

This Is, perhaps, as good q time to
make q President as any other.
There are some advantages-to the
country-in making him early. We
get a chance to look him over and turn
him inside out before he is nominated
and voted for.
Besides a man that can stay made
over one season ought to make a pretty
good President. If he q stand the
racket of q year and half campaign
he is Of fairly good stuff
The New York Times has gone large
" into the business Of President max
ing. Having put Tilden on the track
and fairly cleared up the indeeision on
that score, it has now polled the 80
States for their preferences among all
the men named for President.
The Times publishes reports from si4
points, or an average Of 9 points in
each State. The Republican prefer
ences are distributed among Is men.
Mr.. BLAINE is named at the prefer.
nee at 10S points, or nearly one-third
Of the number of points where a choice
is expressed.
President ARTHUR is next in strength.
He pans out especially we'll in the
Southern States. "There is no reason
able doubt" says the Times, "to be
entertained at present, that the 500
votes OF the old slave-holding States
will be given to the present incumbent
of the Presidential chair"
Third in the contest is Mr.. EDMUNDs,
and not much behind MI. ARTHUR.
His strength is distributed very evenly
in the different States.
The above three gentlemen receive
the voice of 224! of the 344 places which
express a preference, and their prefer.
ence is thus summed up: BLAINE, l03;
ARTHUR, 60; EDMUNDs, 57!.
RoBT. T. LINCOLN stands prominent
~ among the new candidates, only
three, Gen. GRANT, JOHN SHERMAN,
and Gen. LOGAN coming between him
and the leaders. .
The preferences among Democrats
are divided among forty "favorite
sODs.n
OF these SAMUEL J. TILDEN, accord
ing to the Times report, leads his party
even more decidedly than BLAINE
leads in the Republican feeling. Two.
ffths of the points reported award him
first choice.
1t is not always the old ticket, how
ever, as HENDRICKS seems to have
fallen into disiavor in some quarters.
There are only seven States which give
TILDEN no favor.
MCDONALD comes next to TILDEN-
~ points to TILDEN'S l20. GeOgraph-
ically, the Eastern, Middle and ex-
treme Western States alone show dis
favor to him, and in these he is dis
placed mainly by BUTLER, BAYARD
and THURMAN.
\ summary of Democratic prefer
ences among the leading ones is thus
stated: TILDEN, 120; MCDONALD, 72!;
