From Marietta to the Constitution:
Last Wednesday night the beast that
has been infestipg our suburbs came
down into the heart of the city and
made general havoc. 1t went into
Mrs. Mansfeld's yard and killed the
watch dog, fine setter. From the
marks # the teeth on the neck and
head of the dog, it looked as if the
beast had seized it from behind, and
had broken its neck with one snap of
It's jaws. -Four or five different par
ties were out hunting the night fol

Some time ago at spirituRllst
seance-the genuine article-a fiery
hand was seen waving overhead in
the darkness, rushing from end to
end of the room with incredible
swiftness -now high, now low, and
occasionally shifting people on the
cheeN with the cold, clammy contact
of corpse. In spite Of the medi-
um'S stringest iujnnctions that no
one should move a gentleman clutch
ed this awful apparition as it swept
past him, and regardless of protesta-
tons and threats, refused to let it 60
until the lights were turned up.
Then the messenger from tho other
world proved to be nothing more
supernatural than a dirty white kid
glove, rubbed with phosphorous and
stuffed with wet tow this at the
end of a thin line, was suspended
from fishing rod convenient for the
pocket. Thus the medium could
cause all manner of appalling and
manifestations without rising from
his chair.

THE GREAT REMEDY
FOR ALL
DISEASES OF THE BLADDER
AND KIDNEYS.

This Remedy has stood the test of time, has
been weighed in the scales of public opinion,
and to-day has an army of men, women and
children who over their own signatures bear
testimony to its curative properties. Some
have been cured of Diabetes, some of Bright's
Disease some of Inflammation of the Bladder,
some of Catarrh of the Bladder some of Incon-
thence of the Urine, some of Leucorrh@a, or
Whites, some of pains in the Back and Loins,
some OF diseases of the Prostate Gland.
For all Diseases arising
from a diseased state of the
Bladder and Kidneys, this
Remedy stands without q
Rival.
Without a rival in the number of cures
effected; without a rival in The purity of its
composition: without rival in number of
bottles sold The annual sale OF Smiths Ex-
tract of May Flower exceeds the sales of all
other Kidney Remedies combined.
DR. ELI IVES, says: THAT in many aggra-
waited cases. when Buchu had failed to produce
any benefit, May Flower has effected speedy
cure"
DR.. J. II. BIRD says: 81 have found May
Flower to be remedy for all Kidney COM

lime, and with his knife he could cut
and shave the black substance. The
broken stones lie in all sorts Of positions
hsphazard, and the lime shows in such
thin streaks "that it is evident the men
who made the obelisk knew how to
make concrete" Another point Is that
the hieroglyphics on the face of the
obelisk are not engraved in the stone
with a sharp steel instrument, but
printed or moulded. "They show as
plain as anything can show that they
were formed by fastening the proper
forms on the inside OF the box into
which the concrete was rammed, and
when the concrete had hardened suf-
ficiently, the boxes were taken away
and the patterns of the hieroslyPhics
were Withdrawn, leaving their impress
sion on the face of the concrete, exactly
as is done every day by manufacturers
of artificial stone. Every letter is made
to draw"
If this be true as degrades the obelisk
from a granite mouolith, chiselled out
of an Upper Nile quarry, intoa moulded
mass of broken rocks and cement-and
the New Workers will not thank the
lime manufacturer for robbing them Of

COMPULSORY FEDERAL EDUCA'
TION

4 newspaper has been established at
Washington to advocate compulsory
education, supplemented by generous
appropriations of public money for COM
mon schools" AS no constitutional
warrant exists authorizing the expendi-
ture Of money in the Federal Treas
ury for any such purpose, the design IS
announced of procuring the speedy
enactment of amendments giving the
necessary authority. The two states
men who are pushing this new move
ment are Senator LOGAN, of Illinois
and Senator BLAIR, of New Hampshire
"a noble pair of philanthropists who
are not themselves troubled with con-
stitutional scruples. 1t is the opinion
of these eminent persons that ignorance
begets crime, hence they would put an
end to ignorance at the public expense.
But it may be doubted whether their
premise is correct, and, if it be, wheth-
er their conclusion is warranted. We

the world with knowledge, and all his
tory proves that superior knowledge
has never prevented or abolished it.
The wisest nations have been and are
the wickedest. As education raises the
grade of intellect it gives keener edge
TO misdoing. But if men were made
good as they are made to read and
write, why should the Federal power
be exercised for this end? 1t is the State
that deals with our family ties and our
homes, that supports poverty, Furnishes
crime and stands in an almost paternal
relation to the people. The Federal
power has been purposely and wisely
excluded from any participation in the
local government. Many of the States,
it is true, have gone so far as to provide
an optional education in the common
schools, but even they have hesitated
to interpose with force in matter
which is first and foremost the concern
Of parents. The interposition of the
Federal government would be an ill.,
tolerable usurpation. There are too
many Federal office holders already,
without establishing new ones in every
school, house. We are governed too
much.
