EVER HAVE RHEUMATISM?
Another Sure Cure-in Down Casters

signified that up to date rheumatism
was one Ofthe ills of humanity from which
l had been exempt.
He was disappointed. for then he knew
l was not an appreciatiYe listener. But
a necessity was upon him to tell his story,
and was good natured enough to give
him a chance.
Because" he continued. Il have the
best thing to cure rheumatism, and if you
should ever be troubled in that way, il
will be worth fortune to you. 1t won't
cost you cent, either. And it's a sure
cure. You must cut all your nails. Take
the parings, tie them up in a linen rag
with linen string, 90 find a white oak
tree, make hole in it, put in the package,
plug up the hole with a white oak plug,
90 and leave it, aud that is the end of your
rheumatism"
What could do but laugh?
"Oh, WE'LL" he said, ''you are one OF
those fellows that never believes any
thing, but l know what / am talking
about. l had a friend who tried this
cure, and it did the business for him.
His rheumatism left him."
L said L was really very glad for the
man.
But" continued he, "there is one
mighty curious thing about this business.
If the tree is cut down, back comes the
rheumatism. That's the way my friend
was served. He had, as he thought, got
nicely over this complaint, when, one
day, the old enemy again attacked him.
He hObbled out and found that his white
oak tree had disappeared. So he re-

The Responsibility for the Loss of
the Steamer Steinmann.

The Responsibility for the Loss of
the steamer Steinmann.
The testimony respecting the loss of the
steamer Daniel Steinmann, near SambrO
Island, leaves no doubt that the Captain
was to blame for the disaster. In the
/ opinion of the pilots who are familiar with
the coast he had no excuse for attempting
to enter Halifax harbOr under the cir
cumstances which prevailed. There was
a dense fog and a sOutheasterly gale at the
time which made the attempt extremely
perilous. The Captain claims that he
mistOOk the SambrO light for that on
ChedabuctO Head. Ifhe had been right in
his calculations he would have been at
least five miles away from the dangerous
rocks. The pilots, however, say that he
ought to have known that the light he
saw was not the ChedabuctO light, be-
cause it was impossible to have seen that
light so far in such a storm and fog. A
careful navigator would have laid off
shore and waited for the storm to abate
and the fog to rise when he found himself
in doubt as to his locality and knew that
he was in imminent danger. The Captain
Of the Steinmann, however. instead of act
ing with prudence and caution, pushed
ahead, taking the chances of running his
vessel on the rocks. He says that he
hoped to run across pilot near the shore.
This statement is disproyed by the pilots,
who say that any Captain of any ex-
perience would have known that no pilot
boat could live on the sea on so tempestu-
Gus a night. More than a hundred lives
were lost by the Captains unskillful sea-
manship and want of judgment. This is
the second terrible ocean disaster within
a short time, the responsibility for which
has been placed upon the Captain of the
lost vessel

The Philadelphia Record makes the fol-
lowing impertinent comment on the re-
cent decision of the Supreme Court in
reference to the admission of wearing APP
parel free of duty: "The Supreme Court
of the United States has decided that a
man who is accustomed TO having more
than one pair of breeches may bring a
second pair home with him from a foreign
country without paying duty on them,
even if he has not worn them, and so with
his wife's petticOats. But the poor devil
and his wife, who are not accustomed to
having new clothes, must pay duty on
what they don't wear; they cannot bring
into the country more than their ordinary
supply. The tariff is no respecter of per-
sons. To him who hath it winketh at his
abundance; to him who hath not it in
ssteth upon his poverty; and declareth
extra breeches a smuggle."

Calling CHARGE

Louisville Courier journal lDem)
There is not a newspaper in the country
calling itself Democratic, yet leaning toward
protection, which has not some connection
with protected monopoly. 1t is either a cot
ton factory or an iron foundry or a coal mine
or something or other, which has its hook in
the tariff. OF course the Republican press is
for protection. Thus the people are left with
comparatively few organs and must rely upon
themselves.

that an increase in the price of wool

they are right. 1t would not be an ad-

An interesting question concerning the
liability of steamship companies is soon
to come up before the courts of New
York. The wife of Mr.. Anthony O'Don-
nell, of Pittsburg, recently died on board
a steamer between Liverpool and New
York. The immediate cause of her death
was heart disease. Mr.. O'Donnell pro-
poses to sue the owners of the ship for
damage, on the ground that her death was
caused by the negligence of the company.
He charges that her illness, which lasted
several days, was caused from sea-
sickness, and that neither the officers,
the stewardess nor the surgeon gave her
the least attention. The general charge
is made by the press that the medical
service of the transatlantic steamers is
wretched in the extreme. That the sur
geons have no rank among the crew, and
that their salaries rarely exceed $50 per
month. Whatever the result of the pro-
posed suit may be from a legal point Of
view, no doubt public sentiment will soon
require a reformation in this matter.

The Confederate Home Movement.

The Confederate Home Movement.
In an interview in Tuesdays New
York Herald, relative to the animosi-
ties that grew out of the war,
Gen. j. B. Gordon, in answer to
the question 500 the old memories still
linger"' said: "Wel, practically no.
They have gone out. OF course there is a
deep respect still for those who fought
and suffered in the war, but there is no
more feeling now between a SOutherner
and NOrtherner than there is between a
Scotchman aud an Englishman, because
one is Scotch and the other English. And
if anything did remain"~here Gen. Cor
don spoke with deep feeling and impress
siveness-''I should look confidently to
this new movement so generously taken
up by the Grand Army for the erection of
a home for disabled Confederate soldiers.
The Grand Army has behaved nobly,
nobly, and this action will go to the very
heart Of all the SOUTH
1t is indeed gratifying to the people of
the South that the Grand Army of the Re-
public has shown such willingness to lend
helping hand to this movement to estab-
fish a home for disabled Confederate SOL
diers. The disabled Union soldiers have
been provided with homes and pensions.
They have been we'll cared for by a gen.
erOus government. The disabled COnfed-
crate soldiers have had some help from
their respective States, but so little that
it is hardly worth mentioning. This
movement to establish a home will
result in making the remaining
days of few of them comfortable. If the
effort to establish one home meets with
success other homes, doubtless, will be
opened in other parts OF the South. The
Southern people are rapidly recovering
from the ruin wrought by the war, and
every year will be able to contribute a
larger amount to assist towards helping
to provide for disabled Confederate vet
Grams. The readiness which the Grand
Army OF the Republic has shown to assist
in this work is certain to excite sympathy
and gain assistance for it in the North.
Reconciliation between the two sections
has already taken place, but this COnfed-
crate home movement, if properly man.
aged, will tend to draw the people of the
North and South, in sentiment and feel
! ing, closer together than ever. The
movement. therefore, promises to accom-
plish two things, both of which are CON-
mendable and to be desired,
