In all the records of the noble art Of
oratory here can be found nothing to
exceed in felicity the series of half
minute speeches which the republican
candidate is Keeling off at the rate of a
dozen a day. None of them are alike,
none are iragnentary, none are empty.
Each is a complete speech, with a suita-
bile introduction, a central theme clearly
outlined, and a graceful conclusion.
Each is peculiarly fitted to the locality
where it is uttered. None of them bear
the marks of too deliberate premcdita.

from that worst fault Of most American
speakers who trust absolutely to the in.

of welcome from a ear platform without

effective and graceful speaker, but he

Prest. Board of Trustees.

In the United States district court nj
indianapolis on the End in the Blaine.
Sentinel libel suit, the attorneys for the
Sentinel filed an amended bill Of dis.
covery and twelve additional interroga-
tories. The bill begins by stating that
Blaine pretends to have been secretly
married to Harriet Stanwood at Millers-
burg, KY, June 80, 1880, which claim is
wholly denied by orators. The bill
further alleges that Blaine was lawfully
married for the first and only time to
Harriet Stanwood in P~ittsburg, March
"a, 1851, and that said marriage was not
one Of love and affection on the part of
Blaine, but compulsory. as charged in
the original bill. The bill then states
that full Information concerning these
matters 10 in the possession of Mr..
Blaine, and the discovery of such evil
dence is necessary to enable the orators
70 make good the issue upon their part,
and ths prayer ofthe. bill is that Blaine
be ordered to auswerspNsiGvely, under
ceEh and without Avaeton.

appears that he married his wife in

SATURDAY, OCTOBER IL. 1884.

Nh. Enron Il wish TO call the at
.tention of the citizens o fCuster city and
vicinity through your columns! more
fully than has been done heretofore to
the necessity Of providing a suitable
place for the burial Of the dead. 1t is
necessary for me to call attention furth-
er to the disgraceful condition of the old
burial ground in the gulch below town.
You all know its condition and the great
necessity Of procuring a cemetery which
can be protected and taken care OF.
Where a piece of ground is located
and inclosed with a good substantial
fence, and used as a place wherein to
bury the dead, the Dakota statute gives
the right and power to the board oil
Town Trustees to protect it from any
trespass whatever; making trespass
upon such grounds a misdemeanor pun
ishable by fine aud imprisonment.
In accordance with this idea and the
general wish Of the people, the Board of
Trustees and several citizens have select
ed and located q rev cemetery about
one mile northwest from the townsite,
have had il surveyed, subdivided and a
part oft laid out in lots. This has been
done without any expense whatever to
the town. The plat is GOO by 900 feet
and contains between II and Is acres
Now, the board of trustees asks the citi
gems to raise sufficient means to enclose
this cemetery with a good and substan
tial fence. A subscription paper has al
ready heen circulated among the citizens
for this purpose, but the amount RAISED
is not sufficient for the purpose. | now
in behalf of the board of trustees anC
humanity, ask you to be more liberia
towards this important undertaking
We know that times are dull and mon
ey scarce, bUt we also recognize the nee
essity Of providing ~ place where tn,
dead may rest in peace. as we'll as
place and home for the living.
To you parents and heads Of families
this should be q matter of more thar
usual moment. You know not how sooI
you may be called upon to lay thos'
i loved ones in the silent tomb; and d
you wish their remains to be undisturh
ed by the pick and shovel of the pros
pector? You, young man and maidel
who have nnited your destinies for al
time, you know not how Don that uniol
may be severed, and don't you Wish t.
protect the last resting place of you
loved partner? Custer county has NJ
such place of protection. Then let m
earnestly appeal to you all to do wha
you can to remove this disgrace which
has so long hung over Custer City an,
county, and let il be said, that there il
at least one place in Custer count,
where the dead can rest in peace.
We trust the citizens will respon,
promptly and enable the trustees t,
place this new cemetery in such condi
ton hat it can be fully protected.
III. A Albien is the present towr
treasurer and the subscription paper i:
in his hands. Come forward and sub
scribe for this object ana when the piac,
is enclosed you will be entitled to "a 10
in the cemetery.

Apropos of Mr.. Beecher's citation OF
Cleveland's immortality as a warning
to young men, w. =. Hall tells this story
in the Chicago Tribune: 81 once lived
in Missouri. There was Il negro preach
er i'm our village who was brought be,
fore his congregation charged with be-
ing on more intimate terms with some
Of the colored sisters than was consistent
with his profession. 1t was a clear case.
The proof of his guilt was positive, So
the Rev. j. Wesley Jones took higi
moral ground i'm his defense, and SAID
that he did it us a wannin to his flock
to let the sisters know that they couldn't
flirt around dis lamb of God with i'm
punity,' and he was acquitted.

The True Nature Of a Gold"

Years of study and observation have
forced me to the conclusion that the dis
ease which manifests the symptoms pop
ularly supposed to indicate that cold
has been caught is to all intents and pur-
poses a filth-disease. Whatever inter-
feres with the digestion or depuration,
or depraves the vital organism in any
manner, produces an impure condition
of the body-a condition of disease I;
and a continuance of disease-producing
habits, must inevitably result in
periodical or occasional " eruptions, "
the severity of which will depend upon
the degree of ones transgression.
Among the causes Of this impure bodily
condition are "a impure food, ~
excess in diet, and ~ impure air.
Our homes, offices, shops, halls, court
houses, churches, and, with rare excep-
tions, all living-rooms, private or pub
lie, are insuficiently or not at all ven
tilated and, except while in the open
air very large proportion Of our peo-
pie in all the walks Of life, habitually
breathe an atmosphere vitiated by
being breathed over and over again
they are starving for want of oxygen,
and are being poisoned by carbonic
acid. In default of sufficient oxygen the
best of food can not be transformed
into pure blood-there will always be
corresponding indigestion nor caL the
carbonic acid be eliminated freely in
an impure atmosphere. We have,
then, serious interference with diges-
tion and depuration,'' whenever we
remain even for single hour of the
twenty-fouT in an "in-door" atmos-
phere, i. e., an atmosphere that is not
in tolerably free communication with
the great body Of air without. The
only offset of restriction Of oxygen is re-
striction in diet aud exercise but a
combination Of this character would
produce enfeeblement Of the system,
though if a proper balance were main
tained there would arise no febrile
symptoms such as we are considering.
We have plenty Of people living in un-
ventilated, rooms who, so far as exercise
is concerned, live a well-balanced life !;
but seldom do these any more than the
robust and active, practice any sort of
voluntary restriction as to quality or
quantity of food-nausea and lack of
appetite being the only safeguards.
Persons Of this class are great sufferers
from ds.-PoplsIar Science Monthly.

WIN Carleton as a Poet.

The prejudice which multitude of
dull singers have helped to raise tells
almost equally against the few who are
not dull. Since so many rills of He'll
con are found to have miry bottoms, or
no bottoms at all, travellers resolve to
shun the rills of that region altogether.
To this general statement, however,
there are exceptions, as there are to
most rules. There are poets who are
read. Now and then comes along a
poem so full of music and meaning
that it causes even the editorial coun-
tenancc to shine and here and there
verse-writer succeeds early in convinc-
ing the public that he at least has
something of human interest to say, in
terms not too vague or metaphysical.
So much said, not many more words
seem necessary to account for the pop
ularity Of Will Carleton. He has had
the good fortune to appear at a time
when readers were ready for reaction
against the inanities and over-refne-
ment Of contemporaneous poetlings.
He has not scattered his powers by
going much outside of the field which
he occupies almost alone. His human
symypathies, his LONELINESS, his hui
NOR. even some of his faults of rude
diction and defective taste, have been
ia his favor. The arrows of criticism
will find weak spots in his armor. He
is. indeed, no Achilles, vulnerable only
in one heel, but exposed to attack in
many poetical feet. The critics may
sneer at him, and demonstrate easily
enough that he is not a Wordsworth or
a Keats. who were likewise sneered at
in their day for not being somebody
else. He is, nevertheless, an estab-
lished fact, writer unlike any other
past or present, which is saying much,
and one whose books have wider Cir
culation than those Of any other living
poet, excepting, of course, the few
masters who in their lifetime have
become classics. For which reasons a
brief account of the man and his writ
ings may well occupy us for page OF
two.-J. T. TRowBRIDGE, in Harper's S
Magazine for March.
