RESOLUTIONS.
The Committee on Resolutions made
the following report:
ReS0lred That the Republicans Of Mis-
souri,, in convention assembled, renew
their allegiance and adherence to the
principles of the Republican party as
cnunciated in the National platform of
1850, and carried out by the National al
minStratiOn of President Arthur. The
Republican party of Missouri having bur-
led all past differences, and being now
harmonious, is ready to march forward
shoulder to shoulder, to battle against
the common enemy, and will discountc-
nance any man or set of men who
seek TO create diSsenSions in its ranks,
and We its representatives,, hereby pledge
our unfalterng support to the National
nominees of the party. Having faith and
confidence in the ability and wisdom of
the Republican party we leave to the
delegates assembled in National Conven-
ton the formulation of resolutions upon
National questions.
Resolutions of thanks to the citizens of
Scdalia and the officers of the conyen-
ton were passed, and the convention adj
iOurned.

WASHINGTON, d. c., April lO.-A good
deal of interest is felt among Missourians
here regarding the Republican Conven-

that Arthur is pretty badly treated, and
that the plumcd knight, who is really the
most active of all the Presidential candi-
dates, is pretty likely to get Missouri's

THE INEBRIATE.
Either Criminal or a Lunatic-How He
Should Be Dealt With.

Either a Criminal Lunatic-How He
Should Be Dealt With.
1t is evident that society and the law
must take one or two attitudes, or per-
haps the two together, toward the
drunkard. He is either criminal or a
lunatic, and must be dealt with as such.
1t is very likely that in some cases or
phases he is one, and in others the 9TH
er. There may be cases where hered-
itary impulse is SO strong that the vic
tim is not responsible for his act; such
should be treated like any other crazy
person. There comes time, too, in
the life of almost every drunkard when
he passes into the same condition, and
should be dealt with accordingly. But,
for the most part, we believe that
drunkenness is crime, and the
drunkard should be treated as GRIM
inal 1t would be in some eases, to be
sure, difficult to draw line between the
two conditions; but generally there
should not be much trouble. Let there
be constituted commissioners de inebriO
anqatare11dO, as is now done de t,t4eGttcO,
and let every drunkard be brought be-
fore such. If he is found responsible,
society needs protection from him; if
not responsible, he needs to be protect
ed from himself. In either case, the
sentence passed upon him should not be
terminable by time, and may be sus-
pended when he is apparently recov-
cred, or ''during good behavior. y
Likewise, like any other criminal or
lunatic, the State should provide for his
care. With such discipline, and
the removal of temptation in the
shape of the low dram-shops, it would
be possible in a generation or two to re-
duce drunkenness to its lowest terms

OLD-TIME SURGERY.
When 1t Was Thought Wonderful Thing
to Shorten jaw.

When 1t Was Thought q Wonderful Thing
to Shorten jaw.
A number of years ago there lived in
Wheeling certain DR.. Hullien, who
became famous as surgeon. Some Of
his operations were very brilliant and
decidedly awe-inspiring among the
common people, One case in particu-
lar was thought to be unparalleled at
that time. A young lady belonging to
one of the best families in Eastern Ohio
was terribly disfigured by a protruding
lower jaw, Hearing of DIR. Hullien' s
skill as a surgeon she prevailed upon
her father to allow her to 90 to Wheel
ing and see if anything could be done
to improve the shape of her face. She
went alone, and nothing was heard of
her for two weeks except that she ar
rived there safely.
One evening as the shades of night
were gathering, a really handsome lady
drove up to the gate in front Of the
farm house and asked if she could get
lodging for the night. The well-to-do
farmer said they'd did not keep a hotel;
besides, they were expecting their
daughter home at any time, so they
could not keep her She said she
guessed she would stay anyhow, and
hoped out Of the buggy. The farmer
thought she was an escaped lunatic,
and was about to shut and lock the
door in her face when the house dog
came along and recognized the lady as
his YOllno mistress
1t was impossible to satisfy her pa
rents and sisters of her identity. so re-
markable was the change in her APP
pearance. In her pocket she had two
sections Of jawbone, each containing
three teeth, which explained how the
change had been made The operation
is quite common now, but at that time
it was rare. In this case there were
three more teeth on either side of the
lower jaw than usual, and as they grew
they caused the jaw to project forward
At birth the lower jaw was but little
longer than the upper one. The sur
geon merely resected the jaw on both
sides by cutting out section on either
side containing the extra teeth, cutting
out one in front to make the jaw mar
rover and bringing the ends of the
bones together. 1t was simple enough,
but the country people laid awake of
nights thinking and talking about it.
Another young lady who, when a
mere child toddling around, had her
neck badly scalded by pulling the cof-
fee-pot off the breakfast-table, and af-
| terward carried her head greatly to
one side, went to see the doctor. With
out SO much as asking her consent he
severed the contracted muscles; shipped
a piece out of her shoulder, fitted it in,
tied up the wound, and told her if she
would hurry she would catch the next
| boat for home PittSbnrah DiSpQtch.

The bird-cage converted into hang

ment for the sitting-room in winter.
An old bird-cage can be used, by Civ
ing it coat of paint, or regilding it.
Get a tin-pan about two inches in depth,
make number of holes in the bottom
of it, and also in the bottom of the
cage, fill the pan with rich earth and
plant some light, running vine in it; set
it in the bottom of the cage, and fasten
on the top by means of stout wire, as
the ordinary fastenings will not be Sc

A pretty cover for a fower-pot may
be made from japanese fan. Cut the

sticks, where the rivet was inserted, to
keep the bottom in place. The color
of the fan should form a pleasing con-

A common cigar box aids in the or
namentation of an ordinary clock. Cut
a hole in the bottom of the box, large
enough to admit the face Of the clock,
cover the box neatly with plush, cut
the opening in the plush an inch small
er than the one in the box, slash it
around, and draw it through, and glue
it to the inside of the box. The lid
should be covered separately, and
fastened on the box with small hinges,
or by means of pieces of muslin glued
on the inside, to serve as hinges. Fast
en- the clock securely in the box. The
vipe may be either embroidered or
painted; if embroidered, it must be done
before the covering is put on. Cover a
small shelf for the clock with the same
material, and finish it around the edge
with fringe.
Now that the days for fans are over,
the japanese fan catch-all is in order.
Cover one side of the fan with satin,
using muslin on the other side. Make
a pocket of satin, and sew it on the side
of the fan covered with the same ma
terial. This forms the catch-all, shown
in the lower corner. Finish with a
large bow on at the handle. -Aneric09s
