TT1he Circulation Of the Blood is Justly

1ae Circulation OF the Blood is Justly
esteemed the greatest ordination of Divine
Providence; by that beating engine, the heart,
it is driven to ALI parts of the system, giving
vigor and strength to the complicated ma
chinery OF man. This living flood. whether we
sleep or wake, sallies briskly through the arte.
ries and returns softly through the veins. How
necessary that it should be kept free from all
impurity, and yet how negligent many are re-
specting this great essen tial to the enjoyment
of perfect health. Derangement in the Liver
and Nerves is generally the primary cause
and Jaundice. Indigestion and all the harrags-
Ing feelings offending Dyspepsia, which makes
life burden, result from it. Suicide would
rapidly follow suicide, il there was no cure

Deat, of Mrs. sophia w. Stewart.

From Indianapolis Sentinel, Sept 18th, 1888.
This venerable woman, Mrs Sophia w.
Stewart, relict of william Stewart, founder OF
the firm Of Stewart & Bowen, subsequently the
firm of Bowen. Stewart G. Co, of Indianapolis,
departed this life yesterday at 4:25 p M, at her
residence. No. 81 Fort Wayne avenue. in the
seventy-fourth year of her age. She was a ma
tive OF Maryland, having been born in Mont
gomery county in that State, in the year 1900.
She was the mother of ten children, eight OF
whom survive to mourn their irreparable loss.
She was married in Baltimore, April, 1885, and
for nearly twenty years thereafter resided in
Hsgerstown, Washington county, Maryland,
where all of her children were born.
In the year 1854 the deceased, with her hus-
band, came to Indianapolis since which time
this city has been her permanent residence.
and her death will shroud large number of
intimate and loving friends, beyond the circle
of children and near relatives, in gloom.
The deceased was woman of deep and earn
est piety having in early life attached herself
to the Presby terrain church, in which she lived
throughout all her pilgrimage the life of a sin
cere, devoted and uupretentious Christian.
Such life could only bring a peaceful trium-
plant death; a death confirming the words of
Watts:
Jesus can make q dying bed
Feel soft as downy pillows are
While on His breast lean my head
And breathe my life out sweetly there"

ened, and she jumped from the vehicle,
breaking her ankle. Drs. Neff, Tatum and
Harrison, upon consultation, amputated
the limb above the knee, but gangrene set
in and death ensued as above stated She
was buried at Keezletown"

BAT SHOOTING INSTRUMENTATION Satur-
day afternoon a week. at Charlottesville, as il
stated by the Chronicle, 81 gentlemen shot and
killed 9l5 of the birds usually called Bull bats
The Chronicle says -
1.-THE air was black with the birds, not only
in the suburbs, but all through the town. The
guns popped in all directions, and brought to
memory the volleys that we heard in wal
times in the opening ofan engagement between
the skirmish lines. One gentleman killed ovel
other marksmen brought down from twenty
to fifty"

DAMAGES RECovERED.-The relatives of Mr.

head now of this city, who was killed last
Christmas in the railroad accident at Millboro,
brought suit for $4,000 damages in the Court in
Bath against the Ches. & Ohio Railroad Com
pany. We learn that the matter was COM
promised by the payment of $1,000. When this
worthy young man was killed, he was acting
as messenger for Adams Express Company,
and we understand that the damages will be
paid by the Express Company as by its con-
tract with the Railroad Company it is RESPONSE
BILE for damages resulting from accidents to its
employees.

To TAKE IMPRESSIONS OF LEAVES, ErC.-M.
Bertot of the Paris Academy, has just made
known simple method OF taking impressions
of plants, requiring only large sheet of paper,
some olive Tor other) oil, black lead, ashes, and
resin (or colophony) The paper is first lightly
oiled on one SIDE then folded in four so tn at
the oil may filter through the pores. and the
plant may not come into direct contact with
the liquid, The plant is placed between the
leaves of the second folding, and in this posi-
ton pressed Through other paper all over with
the hand, SO as TO make small quantity of oil
adhere to its surface. Then it is taken out and
placed carefully on white paper; another sheet
is placed above (since two impressions can be
taken), and the plant is pressed as before. On
now removing it an invisible image remains
on the paper. You sprinkle over this guam
tlty Of black-lead Tor ashes, etc. and distribute
it in all directions, as in applying sand to writ
ing; the image then appears in all its parts.
With an assortment of colors, the natural col
ors of plants may be reproduced To obtain
fixity, resin is added to the black-lead (previ-
ousIy) in equal quantity; the impression is
fixed when 1t is exposed to heat sufficient to
melt the resin.

THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS USED AS PARTY
AGENcIEs.-Mr. S. s. Turner, of Front
Royal, delivered recently a good speech at
Leesburg, Loudoun county, from the report
of which, as given in the Leesburg Wash
ipgtonian, we copy a portion ofwhat he had
to say about the public schools, as follows :
''No one ever heard of our admirable
public schools as partisan agencies, until
Malone got control of them, and now we
have the State Superintendent, Farr, can
wasting the State making political speeches
for Malone. Before the era of Mahoneism
the State Superintendent, DR.. Ruffner, an
accomplished scholar, canvassed the State
addressing teachers Institutes, instructing
them ip their important and responsible
duties as teachers. Not so now. Instead
of those who teach our schools, being adj
dressed by a scholarly State Superintendent,
who by education and experience as an in
structor, is qualified for his position, and to
whom teachers and the public can look as
competent guide in our educational sys-
tenn, we have merely, partially educated
politician, following his leader, harangu-
ing public meetings to win partisan sue
cess, instead of devoting his time to the
great system of public instruction framed
for the State. Do the people mean that the
money they pay for our schools shall go to
pay Superintendent who neglect their
duties and canvass the State for party
and such is the state of affairs Malone has
brought us to. The people should pause
and reflect upon this and they will see where
such a course will carry our school system.
and what will be the result ofsuch policy"

The prospects of finding silver in paying
quantity on the farm of Rev. j. W. Hedges,

to contain silver, without any traces Of cop

the amount of silver in ton of ore at $49.

The Right Ring.

The Lynchburg Adoance copies from the
SPECTATOR our article with the above cap
ton introducing Mr.. Lyle's card and also
the card itself, and adds
"This is the way for mana high man
"a square mana Democratic man-to
talk. Counties will be saved-the Legis-
lature and the State carried by just such
patriotic Democrats as Mr.. Lyle.'
We can assure our good friend of the
Ad0ance, whose articles always have ''the
right ring" that those who voted for Mr..
Lyle, as well as those who voted for Skin
ner, Craig, and Stump-the other defeated
candidates-are 'just such patriotic Dem
ocrats as Mr.. Lyle" and will all ''give the
nominees an earnest and cordial support"
We know that some of the most active
and earnest supporters of the election of
the nominees-Echols and Opie-are per-
sons who voted in the primary to nominate
others, and this should be, and we believe
is, the case with all who so voted. To
suppose that any Democrat would refuse to
vote for the nominees because the candi-
dates he supported in the primary failed to
be nominated, would be to impeach not
only his Democracy, but his honor, and the
coalitionists who base their hopes upon
such an expectation, offer an insult to their
character, intelligence, and potriotism.
They will find that they have "reckoned
without their host" and built their hopes
upon a sandy foundation.
