the suggestion, saying there was no
one to whom a Vice President could
send in resignation of his Office. They
were ignorant that as matter of fact
Calhoun had resigned that Office.
The journal of the Senate, page 80,
1928, says: "The President COM

of State, transmitting the copy of a
letter dated Columbia, s. c., Dec. %,
1882, addressed to him by John G. CAL
houn, resigning the Office of Vice Pres

This letter was sent to the Senate
Jan. A, 1888, and Mr.. Calhoun took his

The FerOcity Of Tigers.

a traveller tells the following story of
the way in which one tiger terrorized a
whole community:
The Captain showed me the skin of a
large tiger, which, short time since,
killed three natives in four nights in
this place. The village is surrounded
by stockade to keep out these raven
GUS beasts, and the gate is guarded at
night by native armed ,th n musket.
One evening this tiger ole mp be-
hind the guard, sprang upon him, and,
as n native said who CHANGED 70 see il.
killed him instantly with blow of her
paw on the back of his neck. She then
caught him up and ran away with him.
The next day the body was found,
partly eaten, and was buried very deep
to keep it out of her reach. -
The second evening she seized and
carried off native who was bathing at
the foot of the cliff. The Captain now
found he must try and DESTROY her, and
therefore loaded q .muskct with very
heavy charge of powder and two bull
let's. The gun was then dashed firmly
to tree, and large piece of fresh
meat was fastened to the muzzle, so
that when she attempted to take il
away, she would discharge the piece
and receive both bullets. The next
morning they found piece of her
tongue on the ground near the muzzle
of the gun, and the same trap was set
again: but the next night she came
back and took away n second man on
guard at the gate of the stockade.
The Captain now started, with a cor.
poral and eight men, determined to
hunt her down. They tracked her to q
place filed with tall grass, and, closing
around that, slowly advanced, until two
or three of them heard growl, when
they all fired and killed her instantly.
1t proved to be female, and she had
evidently been so daring for the pur-
pose of procuring food for her young.

HypOchOndriacs.

A physician in this country, who made
n specially of neural diseases, devised
several years ago a system of treatment
which he called the Rest Cure, for
patients whose nervous systems were
exhausted from overwork or o her Gauss
The sufferer was taken from home and
separated wholly from her friends,
which at once did away both with old
associations and with coddling.
She was put to bed in q sunny, cheer
full chamber, in the care of skillful
nurse, and forbidden to move hand or
foot. She was fed and tended like an
infant; well fed, too, the meals being
nourishing and frequent Instead of
exercise, she was manipulated once or
twice day.
Patients who were real sufferers
rose from this treatment strong,
fat and rosy. But unfortunate
ly there are nervous patients who are
shams to whom such regimen would
be intolerable. Dr.. Dash was sent for
once in haste TO wealthy woman in
New York, supposed to be dying, though
no physician could discover her all
ment.
She had not tasted food for DAYS.
Her shrieks were incessant, her features
livid and pinched as in 0TttC1tIO morris.
Her friends, exhausted by months of
nursing, stood waiting TO see her de-
part. The doctor made close examina-
ton of the case. She recognized him
and her eyes gathered intelligence.
I'm dying, DOCTOR" she moaned.
Nothing of the kind" shortly.
"What ails me?" she said, after u
louder shrek.
He locked her steadily in the eve. "A
husband who has too much money" he
answered, briefly. Then, turning to the
attendants, he said take her up, dress
her, and bring her some beefsteak and
bread and butter"
The treatment was brutally blunt,
perhaps, but it cured the patient She
never, however, forgave the physician.
Another case was that of n leader of
fashion in Southern city, who came
with her suite of husband, maids. lap
dog, etc, to him to be cured, declaring
herself "a perfect wreck" For couple
of days he watched her through her
usual routine: lolling on couch through
the grooming, shuddering, helpless
then up at night brilliantly dressed
for ball or opera.
As the result of his watching he or
dered her into the hospital and put her
through the usual regimen of bed, alb
solute inaction, solitude and manipula-
ton.
On the second day she dressed her
self unobserved, stole out of the house
and to the station, and literally ran
away, never hating until she was at
New Orleans, from which city she tele-
graphed for her husband and for her
clothes.
Nervous diseases are alarmingly rife
in this country. But there is a nervous
ness born of idleness, or of fashionable
dissipation, or of morbid sensibility,
which makes victims not only of the pa
tient but of her family. Many house
hold is enslaved by these irritable in
valids, who do not realize the cause of
their nervousness, and who only need
fresh air, hard, daily work and regular
hours of sleep at night to cure them of
their fancied ills.

The Apparent Wastefulness of Nature.

Life is sown broadcast, only to be
followed almost Immediately by de-
struction nearly as sweeping. Nature
creates by the million, apparently that
the may destroy by the myriad. She
gives life one instant, only that she
may snatch it away the next. The
main difference is that, the higher VIC
ascend, the less lavish the creation, and
the less sweeping the destruction.
Thus, while probably but one fish in a
thousand reaches maturity, of every
1000 children born 604 attain adult
age That is, nature filings aside 999
out of every 1000 fishes as useless foi

A Resigned Vice President.

The only Vice President who ever re-
signed that Office was Calhoun, who did
so in December, 1882, he having b en-
elected first on the ticket with John
Quincy Adams, and served from 1925 to
1929 with him, and then, having been
elected on the ticket with Andrew Jack
son, served from 1929 to Jan. 4, 1888,
his resignation not having been ac-
capted until that time. Martin Van
Buren, had been elected the preceding
November to serve as Vice President
during Jackson's second term, from
1888 to 1887. In December, 1882. Cal
houn was elected Senator from South
Carolina, and then sent in his res gna-
tioi. rs Vice President, which Office he
would have had until March 4, 1893.

Mormonism in Georgia.

A telegram from Savannah, Ga, says:
Agents of Mormonism are actively at
work in Carroll, Fayette, Campbell,
Franklin and other counties. Their
methods are so stealthy that even intel
ligent people are not aware Of their pres
ence. The plan is to make nocturnal
calls, and, when sufficient subjects are
brought over to their views, to hold late
meetings in lonely places, where con-
verts are instructed, and in time, to de.
part, ostensibly for Texas, but in reality
for Utah. Several families in Clayton
are known to have taken this course
lately. In out-of-the-way places there
are great many ignorant people with
no church relationship, and but little re-
moved from fetish Worshipers. They
are easily approached by Mormon ennis
saries, and are SO secretive that it is i'm
possible to get revelation from them.
This in no way applies to intelligent cit
liens who are not aware of the danger
by which they are surrounded. This is
shown by an instance developed this
week. The Franklin News published
the following: "There are Mormon
emissariesin this county. Whatis worse,
they find fools who will listen to their
foul discourse. 1t is presumed, however,
that they are notreceived In any respetc-
able family" The editor soon found
out that he had said too much, for in the
next issue of the paper he says: "Of
course, we had no reference to those who
are ignorant of the corrupt practices of
the Morlnons." The fact that Mormon
ism should have so far won its way that a
Gentle has to be careful how he speaks
about them is startling enough, and
shows that unless something is done
speedily Utah is not the only place
where rooting-out will be required.

Well, it was worth seeing. Every
table, every counter, every piece of
statuary was of white marble. The
floors, walls, ceiling, curtains, every
thing was white. The Creole girls who
waited on the customers had the whitest
compilations I ever saw. They were
dressed in spotless white, and on their
left shoulder was bunch of white JAG
queminot roses. Standing upon the
counter was ife-sized statue of Jer-
sey COW; by the side of the COW stood a
middie-aged darkey with white hair, a
woman with a sweet face. I did not
understand the mechanism of the bust
ness, but this woman drew the milk into
the white cups from the marble COW.
She acted just as if she was milking.
Ara told me that the white lady owned
dairy outside of the city and that she
had originated the idea of the marble
COW. Afterwards Mons. Bonnacazes
told me that the woman had MIXED
