A STRIKING CONTRAST.
Comparing the Present Senate with TIL
of the OIden Time.

of the OIden Time.
Speaking of the present senate, says
RamSdell in the Washington letter to
the Philadelphia Press, my attention
is drawn to the photograph in my Of
flee of the senate as it was just before
the war. Mark the contrast l will
give YOU a few IF the names OF that
remarkable b~u-. breckenridge was
vice-president. On his right was the
picture of Judah Z. Benjamin. Next
to him is Stephen A. Douglass. On
the lett is William H. Seward, and
grouped about Sre Henry Wilson,
Charles Summer, Robert Toombs, now
seventy-five years old, Mason, Slidell,
Jefferson Davis, John 2. Hale, Lewis
Cass, Simon Cameron. Chandler, Harlan,
ColIamer, Yulee, Ben Wade, the un-
lucky Broderick. Fessenden, Trum-
bull, and as good Il patriot as ever
lived, though wrong. perhaps, in his
methods, Andrew johnson. There
are other big faces in the picture, but
those have given will suffice. Can
we match them to-day? Put that
senate and the.present one side-by side
In some things we must confess that
the old days were the better days. In
the. house at the same period were
Henry Winter Davis. Dan Sickles,
John Sherman, Lot Morrill,. Fenton,
,'olfax, Roger A. Pryor, Frank Blair,
John A. Bingham, F. E. Spinner,

No Humbug About Them.

FROM Tie lCSOlOs
There;are physicians who know very
little about anatomy, physiology or
therapeutics, though they have a good
bedside manner and a learned nod;
there are artists who are ignorant OF
art, though they can paint flower or
carrot excellently well; there are ar
chitects who know neither style nor
construction. but who know the
builders and rich men; there are
plumbers who are unacquainted with
the properties of water in pipes. yet
who have high idea of the value of
pine per foot; there are shoemakers
for whose feet the shoes must be alter
ed; there are scientists whose science
consists only in what they see them
selves, since they stay in willful ig-
porance of what the world is doing;
there are book-makers who have no
ideas, and engineers in whom an en-
CINE is mystery; but where shall we
ind the newspaper man who does not
know all the scandals of the das ? No
humbug about newspaper menl

Rosadalis for Rheumatism

Messrs. H. Peck Sc Son, OF Streets
boro, o., write us, June 5, 1882: "Why
do you not advertise Rosadalis for in
flamatory rheumatism? 1t is doing
wonders here in curing the disease"
Well, We do advertise it to cure rheu-
matism, as any one can see by reading
our circular. It is a splendid blood
medicine; and it reaches the very root
and seat of disease by being conveyed
through the blood. Druggists, lead
ing physicians. and citizens OF the
highest standing unite in commenda-
ton of RoSadallS.

Celery for Nervousness.

FROM MI I.Nti1dDRs.
A physician says that he has known
many men, and women too, who from
various causes had become so much
affected with nervousness that when
they stretched out their hands they
shook like aspen leaves in windy
day, and by a moderate daily use of
the blanched foot-stalks of celery as a
salad, they become as strong and
steady as other people. He has known
others so nervous that the least an
noyance pat them in state of agita-
ton, and they were in constant per-
pleXity and fear, who were also effect
ually cured by a moderate daily use of
blanched celery as salad at meal
time; others to be cured of palpitation

although they are not in particular

nothing, except the ightning-rod to

are an ever-pTesent source of danger
to buildings which, without them,

in Nature by Arthur Parnell, may do
something to stop the ravages of the
lightning-rod tiend: up to date l
have collected the fullest details of
800 observation-disclosures cases (of light
ning-stroke on rod protected build
ings). In 204 of these, or GA per cent,
injuries either to rods, constructions
or persons occurred. In Isl cases, or
AZ per cent, there were injuries either

these Isl incidents seventy-one con-
tain in their records no allega-

faults, either in the rod. or in
its "earth," until after the event, and
the remaining eighty furnish 30 re-
cord of such faults being found, either

Affairs in Ireland have been portentious of
late. There is now some fear on the part of
Chief Secretary Trevelyan and others OF a
dangerous agitation next fall against the sys-
tenn Of rents rated by the local judiciary. The
rulings Of the magistrates have been generally
moderate and considerable, and the order from
the Irish Office has been that they should lean
to the tenant rather than to the landlord, SO as
to prevent a general depreciation in values in
Irish farming lands. It is claimed, however,
that the magisterial judgment is often warped
by local and social influences, and that it is not
1T all judicial. Some of the charges imposed
arc said to be on the rack rent principle, and it
is feared that dangerous agitation will begin
when the wants of winter begin to punish the
people.
