A Washington Herald special says:
The officials are still trying to find
the address of Governor Kinkead of
Alaska, to notify him that he has been
succeeded by Swineford, of Michigan.
kinkead has been lodging about be-
Alaska San Francisco and Nevada,
avoiding kilograms. The last heard
of him he had sailed for Northern
Alaska. 1t is probable that he will
not be informed of his recall until the
new Governor finds him and relieves
him officially. The Treasury Depart
ment is also trying to relieve one of
the Seal Island agents supposed to be
at Alaska. 1t turns out that he had
not been there for year or more, but
awaits his removal in San Francisco.
He thinks he will be allowed to draw

moval, but it has been decided other
wise by placing the name of his sue

Eastern papers are commenting on
prohibition in Iowa. While the laws
of the State prohibit the manufacture
or sale of spirituous liquors, beer, wine
and cider, the Internal Revenue sta
tistics show that the traffic in those
articles is somewhat extensive. There
are reported in the State $3.50 retail
liquor dealers, 63 wholesale dealers,
Is reciifers and 215 other dealers,
making total of 4,424, which the
St. Louis Republican says is $50 more
than there are in the State of Mis-
souri,. In the last fiscal year, which
ended June 30th, Iowa produced 2,
100000 gallons of distilled spirits,
and 100000 gallons of beer. This
is about three gallons of homemade
Iowa liquor to every man, woman and
child in the State, to say nothing OF
the quantity of imported liquor con.
sumed. This shows conclusively tina,
prohibition is farce and exists only
in name in the State of Iowa. Sill

GLANCED OFF.-Dr. Reid tells OF a
very strange freak of electricity in
the person of Robert Burdett, color
ed. He and the family were seated
in the house when bolt descended
the chimney, struck him fair in the
forehead, then glanoing, burnt his arm,
and running down his leg tore his
pantaloons in strips, and after demol-
ishing his big toe passed out OF the
bottom of his shoe, leaving hole as
made by bullet. A portion OF it
then passed through the floor, splitting

large dog near by, laid him out forever.
A negro in the same house was knock

the most wonderful cases known, and

we'll formed belief that if you want

Baths and Bathing.

Baths and Bathing.
The utility of bathing frequently
cannot be doubted. 1t would be diff
ficult to convey in limited space
sufficiently complete idea OF this most
powerful means Of preserving and re-
storing health. No wonder the an
clients, and especially the Romans,
carried the practice to such an extent.
Why it should have fallen into dis
use III modern times it is difficult to
determine, and the more SO, as 1T is
such an agreeable remedy and pre-
ventative Of disease, by lessening and
regulating the heat Of the body and
the circulation of blood, tranquillzing
the irritability Of the nervous system,
and especially Of cleansing the skin,
thereby removing primary source OF
disease. 1t invigorates the whole sys-
TEN, and to an increase OF bodily
strength it adds exhilaration and
delightful serenity and cheerfulness
of mind.
We make no attempt to establish
dogmatic system to persuade readers
that they will find in water univer-
sal remedy, acting in some mysterious
manner. We have only to refer to
the elementary teachings Of physiol-
ogy for a knowledge OF the uses OF
water i'm the animal economy.
It enters the blood vessels, both by
being absorbed from the mucous
membrane lining the digestive passa-
ges when taken as drink, and by
permeating the skin in baths. Hap
pily there is no dissension to the fact
of the great benefit arising from the
use Of water in the form OF baths.
This is a point on which doctors do
not disagree. 1t cannot be doubted
that regular and Judiclous use OF
baths is preventative OF many dis
eases is we'll known, and it is highly
probable that many forms Of serious
and distressing sickness, with which
many persons are afflicted during i
long course of years would be almost
unknown among us, and the pan
from incurable diseases greatly NIT
gated were baths i'll general use
There would be less suffering, NOR,
cheerfulness and yivaoity, and create
length Of days, and a more conplet,
enjoyment of existence.
All medical science tends to estab
lish this proposition, that whateve
the cause OF disease may be, the mos
effective representatives. are those tina
regard the body only, irrespective o
the external circumstances OF climate
atmosphere, vicissitudes, miasmal le
calities, contagion, ETC.; aud II tn
body is properly guarded, the abode
of the most frightful diseases may b
visited with irregular lmpunlty. 1T
because the body is neglected that
does not better resist the morbltic az
tons of external agents, and become
diseased Like complicated ms
chine, which, If exposed, soon become
clogged with dust, and thus compel
ed to discontinue its movements III
less constantly guarded against i'll
pediments, the human body meet
constant attention--much more tina
mere artificial machine--since of a
organized structures it is by far ii
most complicated Exchange.

A correspondent OF the Sprlnshelu 4se-

endeayors togiye some reasons why the
people of the South have BEN so absorbed
in politics, when they could not got arc
ally substantial thing being willing to &c
cent a shsdowy honor. Here is achoice
bit from the correspondents letter:
The whole land was full Of prominent
men. whose prominence must III some

ery public institution has board OF dircC-
tos. When nothing OF more solid COM
fort could be got place Oh one oil these

the State University, must nave ooalu S.t o.
directors. What il they were not polltl-
cal ia any practical sense, they soon De-
came SO. The trustees OF tho university
have been selected no more with reler-
ence TO scholarship than with references
to the color Of their eyes.

bic as though fat salaries went with them
men fret as much, swear as hard, mass
their "inauence" with as frantic zeal, and
promises are made and broken with the
same reckless ease US when great prizes in
public lifeare at stake.
Places on State boards sometimesgive
opportunity for money-inaking, but OF the
many who seek them there arc few who
descend to dishonor. Service in these
bodies is desired as a stepping-stone to

this it is something to be in the public

earnest Of better things to come.
There is more real profit and quite as

pursuing with true American eneray some
employment that responds to the magic

An Old Ctstirr IL BdnktrS Maga:tWe
Many employees Of Incorporated banks
are permeated with the idea that they are
a little higher in the mercantile scale than
their friends at work on dry goods or gro
ceries. In consequence Of this super

and bank clerk is frequently unCiyil and

of advice will cot, perhaps, be deemed in.

that this il q universal charge. On the
contrary, there arc many exceptions.
A clerk in q bank is not such superior
being per se-thath he is justified in being
conceited ;in fact to be an average clerk,
and nothing more, requires fair amount Of
intelligence only, ind this exaggerated
estimation OF himself has no other fOun
dation upon which to rest than q foolish
custom whose only claim to recognition Is
its antiquity. In this connection, too,
NAV say that the more ordinary the man,
the higher he stands in his own opinion
and the lower in that Of others,
By way Of excuse for little acts OF impo.
liteness it Is often said that q bank clerks
patience Is particularly tried by the mis-
takes and ignorance Of customers. Admit

Of business, and there Is no reason why 1t

Many a clerk would Indignantly deny the

Iwould earnestly urge, then, that true
