The REPUBLICAN senators are
said to be in truly sorrowful stu
alton. The majority of them want
Edmunds for President of the SEN
ate as successor to Davis, who will
resign few days before the 4th of
March, SO that new President pro
tenn. may be elected in case of acct
dent to Arthur. Malone, the read
juster, is developing an ambition to
be President of the Senate, and as
he holds the balance of power in the
chamber he can dictate terms. If he
insists upon having the place the
republicans must submit or elect a
democrat. There is a rumor that
Malone has intimated that the only
condition upon which he will con
sent to Edmunds as President is the
making of Gorham secretary, and as
Gorham is as bitter a pill for the re-
publicans as the Virginia readiustel
freebooter, the situation is deplor-
able in the extreme.

THE NEW YORK Christian AdUo-
cate has fallen into line with those
who have long urged that children
are kept too long in the school
room, and subjected to too great
mental strain. 1t says that by some
mental powers that it is beyond the
comprehension Of any one who is
not a lunatic, the study hours of
children in most public school are
longer than any mature mind could
endure without harm. Five hours
is the usual daily duration ofschool
time. A man might be equal to
this for five days in seven, but upon
the boy OF girl is imposed two OF
three hours of extra work in the
shape of study at home. 1t is ut
terly senselsss to claim that any
child can endure such mental strair
for nine months in twelve without
serious mental injury. AS a rule
children do not endure it; they be
come fretful, unreasonable, an(
stupid, the quantity of work OPP
| presses them, hut the intellectual
strain is none the less, and tn,
consequence is that the publ,
schools are annually responsible 70
hundreds Of thousands of weakened
minds.

INDIANA HAS a presidential aspi-
rant in the person of Senator Nc
Donald, hence the Indiapolis Seasti-
mel suggests to the democracy of the
country that with remarkably few
exceptions they have been unfortu-
nate in selecting candidates from
New York. 1t recalls the fate of
Greeley, Seymour, Tilden and Han
cock, and continues: Fremont,
another defeated candidate, was
born in South Carolina, but at the
time of the contest for the presi-
dency was residing in New York
City. General Winfield Scott was
born in Virginia, but for many years
lived in New York. Rufus King
was a New Yorker, and a defeated
aspirant for the presidency, and so
asAaron Burr. Martin VanBuren,
another citizen of the unfortunate
state, although elected to one term,
was defeated for a second. Among
all the New Workers who made
campaigns for the presidency, all
were defeated with the exception of
VanBuren, and he had only one
term, and that, too, at time when
it was customary to receive two
terms" The Sentinel is Dor
rowing trouble two years. Gov
ernor Cleveland has not yet
received the nomination, and unless
his gubernatorial term ends more
brilliantly than it has begun, it is
not at all probable that his name
will be mentioned in the nominat-
ing convention. 1t is in exceeding
bad taste, however, if not bad policy,
for the organs of other candidates to
open war upon Cleveland before he
has an opportunity to develop him
self. The quarreis and contentious
among democratic leaders have been
the cause too often of democratic
failure at the polls.

CHANDLER, SECRETARY Of the

Britain has in her navy over 400

A CONNECTICUT grocer, who
had been annoyed by burglars, dug
a deep PIT in front of his safe,
placed a trap door over ii, and then
contentedly awaited results. The
invention worked like charm.
One morning he found the game
bagged. A healthy burglar was
discovered coiled up at the bottom
of the seventeen-foot pit. Tie
rough, upon being raised to the sur
face, was enthusiastic in praise of
the device, suggesting that it was

very desirous that all soldiers or others hav-

in this city, or knowledge of any fraudulent
transactions on their part, should so far in
terest themselves in this attempt of the au-
thorities to protect soldiers and their fami
lies as to send him full information, to the
end that each case may be put in shape by
special agents for legal prosecution.

These remarkable items pour into our office
daily. Mr.. Fl. S. FULLER, with the New Home
Machine Company of Orange, Mass, writes,
May %, 1888: II have used Hunts Remedy
in my family for over ten years. My wife
was troubled with catarrh of tho bladder,
suffered intense pain in the kidneys and
loins, and urination was accomplished with
the greatest of agony. My friends thought
that she could not recover. We tried doctors
and medicines, and although better at times
shewonld grow worse again. She was obliged
to use the uTinal as many as fifteen times in
a night, and was growing worse daily. At
this time my attention was called to Hunts
Remedy, and concluded to try it: and after
using one bottle she was a good deal botter,
the inflammation was reduced, and the water
more natural. She began TO gain in appetite
and felt no pain in the back and kidneys.
She could attend to her household work
without pain, and this had been great
burden to do, even the ightost kind of work.
After using six bottles she was completely
cured. Since then I have had occasion to
use Hunts Remedy for kidney and liver com
plants, and found il to be just as represented,
end consider il most wonderful medicine.
would not be without Hunts Remedy in
my family; and l have recommended it to
my friends here in Orange with equally good
results"

Tacks.

A tack is a simple, unpretending
sort of young nail, noted for its keen
repartee when pressed for reply, and
possessing the peculiar power, when
standing on its head, of causing the
cold shivers to run down the back in
mere anticipation of what might be.
Tacks are in season all the year round,
but the early spring is usually the time
selected by them for grand combined
effort, and then they flourish every
where for at least a month. Since the
inauguration of the time-honored cere-
monies of house-cleaning, every thor
Ough houSe-keeper with long expert
ence in the line of duty, SO takes up the
carpet rs TO retain all the tacks in their
original places, thus preventing it slip
ping from the shakers hands, unless
the tack breaks or his finger gives out.
But the triumph of the tack is not
complete at this early stage; it pa
tiently abdes its time, and ON the relay
ing of the carpet issues forth with
double force. After searching the en-
tire house for paper of tacks, without
success, the unfortunate man drops on
his knees TO begin, and Immediately
discovers four tacks at least, and as he
rolls over and and over and finally sits
down to extract these, finds the rest Of
the paper directly under him, and then,
unless he is accustomed to put up
stoves and join stOvepipes, the chances
Gt laying the carpet are on that even
ing are slight. In selecting tacks from
a saucer he always inspects the points
with his forefnger, as the tack in
5tantly loses its head when they come
to blows. In argument the tack is
sharp and pointed; but the display of
either or both depends largely on the
amount of pressure employed by its
opponent. In direct contrast to q good
joke, the amusement generally begins
before you see the point, and this fact
is easily demonstrated by walking the
floor in your stocking feet, a well kept
room on such an occasion averaging
two tacks to the square foot. The fu-
ture of the tack gives great promise
of more extended usefulness and un-
limited possibilities, as several Of our
most eminent college professors have
carefully studied the effect Of a sharp
tack of reasonable length placed prop
erly in a chair or under a cot, are about
to introduce tacks and do away with
spring-boardS in our college gymna-
Sums.
