DROWNED IN BEER.
this Popular Beverage Two
Men Express their Minds.

1.-The fact is sir, and you may stick n pin
there, that the people of this country are
likely to be drowned in flood OF lager beer"
shouted an enthusiastic teetotaler the other
day into the ear of your cornered correspon-
dent. That German drink has struck us
hard. 1t is the second deluge."
''Yes, and the worst of this beer-drinking
business is that it gets up kidney troubles,
as a heavy wind raises the waves added a
city physician, who had knowledge of the
times and o tendency to metaphor. The
midnight schooner leaves behind it a wake
of furred tongues, headaches, torpid livers,
nausea, and all that, and lays the foundation
of Bright's disease"
This melancholy fact accounts in part for
the increasing sales of BENSON'S CAPCINE
POROUS PLASTER, which at once mitigates
these SYMPTOMS. Price p cents. Ask your
physician about it.

What " ~ ll Ter?

On Sunday morning, when the steam.
or Wilmington reached her wharf AT
Philadelphia, . detective was noticed
standing In the crowd near the gang
plank, who closely eyed each passenger
as,they came ashore. In short time
a tall, 6ne looking man, with heavy
black Inustache, came up the plank with
q lady on his arm.
The detective gave one quick, search.
Ing glance at the man, and then allowed
them to pass, but before they had pro-
ceeded half way up the wharf started
after them. The unsuspicious couple
passed along Delaware avenue to Chest
nut street, up which they turned, with
the detective like sleuth hound In
pursuit.
At Water and Chestnut streets two
police officers were standing, AMI after
the pursuer had said few words TO
one of them and handed him paper,
he started after the man and woman,
who by this time had reached Front
street, and arrested him. He was at
first disposed to resist the officer, but
after few words from the woman he
went along quietly.
The party got on the Wilmington Just
before she left this city, but it could not
be- ascertain cd what the arrest was for,
as one of the officers in answer to an in
quiry said they had a warrant, and had
been watching for the man for some
time,

CLEVELAND, Oct. Judge Hoadly
spoke here tonight to an audience Of
10,0O. His voice was weak and he
rad from manuscript. When he
reached the temperance question he
said: "If the Scott bill is to be con-
sidered finali'y, why there is the Sc
cond Amendment. If that is adopted
the Scott law must 90. Therefore, I
take 1t, Republicans did not consider
the Scott law Hnslity. But If the End
Amendment is adopted, and legisla-
tive action Is taken to enforce 1t, there
will be no traffic in liquor in Ohio for
Republicans to tax. 1t will, on the
contrary be free and unrestrained until
the Democratic party licenses it pro.
perly. We consider the Scott law a
license law and an unjust one; and the
Legislature, if Democratic, would i'm
prove it by properly graded license.
The principle of the Democratic party Is
the impregnable one of as much per-
sonal liberty as IL possibly consistent"
In speaking of the tariff Judge Hoadly
said 1.-THE Democratic platform on
that is sound. That question has been
settled tor three years to come, at least,
and there is absolutely no authority for
bringing it up and falsely charging the
Democra ,ic party with free trade
principles. They are simply raising

has no longer any guiding principles,

partisan ties since the great questions

WASHINGTON, October 1.-Durine
the past summer DR.. Salmon, of the
Agricultural Department, has besn
conducting series of experiments in
tended to ascertain tie causes and
means ofprevention of hog cholera and
pleuro pneumonia among cattle at the
cattle station near this city. About
thirty cows have been the subject OF
experiment Fifteen OF them were in
Oculated to ascertain if the lung dis
ease which prevails about Washington
was contagious, but no results tending
to establish that conclusion have follow
ed the incubation. Other experiments
were made to discover a system of vac.
cination to protect hogs and chickens
from cholera
The greatest obstacle encountered was
the lack of stability in the hog virus
and its liability to deteriorate. The
virus must be cu ivated so as to keep
the uniform strength, and as the best
means Of doing this is yet unknown, it
must be ascertained by further expert
ments. Better results have followed
the investigations into the charac er of
the virus in chicken cholera, and
Doctor Salmon expresses the opinion
that a means of protecting chick
ems from that disease will soon be
known.

A worthy Family Endorsed.

NEWPORT, DEL, Oct. l, 1883.-In
looking over the REPUBLICAN a few
days since, noticed an article relating
to the destitute condition of family by
the name of Reig, and would like to
say that they are in every way worthy
the sympathy and support of the public.
The father is an iron worker, and has
lost health and nearly life itself, by con-
sumption. The wife and mother is a
hard working, industrious woman, try
ing, by working early and late for 50. 90
per week, to earn living for the fami.
iy.
They formerly lived in this town, and
are much esteemed here. The ladies are
soliciting aid for them here, and we
hope the citizens of Wilmington will
open their hearts and help them. They
may be found at Fifth and Market
streets, third floor. A FRIEND.
