insanity, recently delivered an interest
ing lecture in the Salpetriere on the IN.
Guence Of the siege OF Paris IN the pro-
duction O. mental ii ease. For a few
days after the declaration Of wal there
was o notable d~imunitioni in the number
Of these cases; but IS soon as it became

by the suburban population eliminated

Three hundred and fifty thousand sub
urban residents had to take refuge ia
Paris. where they found no other shel-
ter than that afforded by the railway
carriages at the term nj, which soon be-
came d%ensely crowded.
Hunger and hamilton swelled the
statistics Of insanity during the siege
ali the more that wine was to be had In
abundance, and the men Of the National
Guard spent the greater part Of the 30
sous allowed them daily on drink, on
which, il fact, they and many others
lived during the last few days of the
siege. The mania Of inventions" be-
came very common at the same time.
Gen. Trochu was constantly pestered
with lunatics, who came to lay before
him all manner Of wild contrivanceg Of
their invention for the total and in
Simultaneous annihilation Of the
Pgussians.

of Divine Power So was Ahab humbled.
And so are too many of Gods creatures
humbled. The human mind is apt to con-
slider only the possibilities of the temporal
life. The mind once inclining toward
some wrongful influence of earth, it takes
but little persuasion from near and dear
friend to cOnsummate almost any degree
of wickedness. Without Jezebel, Ahab
would not, possibly have done better;
with a little more attention to the prompt
ings of his own sense of duty, he certainly
would have done better.
There is always degree of merit in
the humbling of ones self before God,
but in case the humbling process comes
in the form of discipline under Gods. in
exorable law, andis enforced by the crush
ing force thereof it greatly detracts from
the merit of the meekness The volun-
tary humbling of the peasant is greater
and more replete with righteousness than
the enforced humbling of King. Every
man should study himself carefully, and
thoroughly understand the workings OF
his own conscience He should ascertain
whether or not he lives with a Jezebel.
Every woman should see to it that she
does not live with wavering Ahab. All
should learn, and understand, the extreme
folly of living carelessly with regard to
Gods law. The earnest, thoughtful, pray
erful humbling, according to the sense of
duty, and the dictates of conscience, is the
kind that pleases at the Throne of Grace.

water-logged collar to the Boor. =
There was something exquisitely
refreshing in the great glasses Of
foaming soda that spruce young man
was drawing from marble foun tain,
above which half dozen polar bears
in an ambitious print were disporting
themselves. There came break in
the run Of customers, and the spruce
young man, having swept the foam
from the marble, dexterously lifted a
glass from the revolving rack which
had rinsed it with fierce little stream
Of water, and asked mechanically, as
he caught the intense look of the per-
spring Elder,
"What schrup, sir?"
Now it had not occurred to the FL
der to drink soda, but the suggestion,
coming as it did in his exhausted
state, was overpowering. He drew
near awkwardly, put on his glasses,
and examined the list Of syrups with
great care. The young man, being
for the moment at leisure, surveyed
critically the gaunt figure, the faded
bandana, the antique claw-hammer
coat, and the battered stove-pipe hat,
with gradually relaxing countenance.
He even called the prescription clerks
attention by cough and a quick jerk
Of the thumb. The prescription clerk
smiled freely, and continued his as
saults upon piece of blue mass.
II reckon" said the Elder, resting
his hands upon his knees and bending
down to the list, "you may gimme
sassprilla an little strawberry.
Sassprilla's good for the blood this
time er year, an, strawberry's good
any time.
The spruce young man let the syr-
up stream into the glass as he smiled
afably. Thinking, perhaps, to draw
out the odd character, he ventured on
a jest himself, repeating pun invent
ed by the man who made the first soda
fountain. With sweep of his arm
he cleared away the swarm Of insects
as he remarked, ''People who like fly
in theirs are easily accommodated"
1t was from sheer good-nature only
that Elder Brown replied, with his
usual broad social smile, "Well, a fly
now an then don't hurt nobody"

Justice seems to be snatching at the

Justice seems to be snatching at the
Democracy of Pike County. The
party is all torn up, over that way,
and the candidate for Representative
had to resign. Read the wall Of the
Watchman:
Democrats of Pike county, you
who love your party for the principles
it upholds, we appeal to you to stanu
firm. We may have done wrong, you
may have done wrong, and others may
have done wrong, but remember the
old Democratic party was never wrong.
1t is right now and has always been
so, and let us not desert it now and
surrender it into the hands of the en-
emy like pack Of cowardly traitors" "
Yes, you may have done wrong, but
for the sake Of truth, don't say that
the Democratic party may have done
right. Instead of the Democratic
party being right now, it never was
right. 1t was wrong when it fostered
the horrible institution Of human
slavery; it was wrong when it precip-
itated a gigantic war, in an attempt to
destroy the Union because Republi-
can was fairly elected President; it
was wrong when it advocated the
reputation Of the National debt, it
was wrong when it instituted murder
as political argument in the South; !;
it was always, everywhere, wrong.
The appeal not to surrender the party
like cowardly traitors, sounds some
what like the boast Of the knights
of the Golden Circle" that the North
ern Democrats would stand so firm
that the Union soldiers would have to
walk over their dead bodies. Many Of
the better class Of Northern Demo-
Gratis went to the front in defense of
the flag, while the boastful copperhead
element got their bodies behind the
red brush, and out of the way, as
quickly as possible. Oh, friends,
quarrel if you must; fight if you will;
but in the name Of decency, don't
boast Of the past of the Democratic
party.

"PreciOuS Name y
J. II. NJ.

My Lord, Thy name is glorifed
In every tree and flower
Thy spirit sweetly moves the tide
On every passing hour;
Beneath the glory of thy smile
The sweetest joys expand
A generous earth displays, the while,
The bounties ofthy hand.
Thy name shines from the silver stream
That through the sultry day
With cheering song, and merry CLEAN,
Glides on its pebbly way;
And, pictured in its mirror'd face
From dropping boughs above,
The birds singing of thy grace
The wonders ofthy love.
Thy name breathes in the laugh which springs
From childhood's boisterous glee,
The golden ray of sunset brings
The sweetest thoughts of thee;
And when bursts from the eastern sky
That bright and cheerful flame,
The song birds warble as they fly
The elories of thy name.
Thy name is in the growing grain,
IT'S in the balmy air
In yonder church the sacred strain
Proclaims its glory there;
Ihear the age of thy word
In sweet assurance given
My heart clings to thee, blessed Lord,
My soul looks up to Heaven.

''1The editor Of the Jackson Stan
dard devoted almost its entire space
last week to the abuse of DIR. Leon
ard and the Prohibitionists generally"
-Waverly Watchnan.
The above paragraph is thoroughly,
Enthusiastically, Democratic, from
the fact that it is deliberately un-
truthful. The writer could not have
been mistaken-he knew he was ~
ing. The Standard has taken ex-
actly the opposite ground, and strong
ly urged the Republican papers to re-
frain from abusing the Prohibition
lists. The great principle Of Prohibi-
tion cannot be represented by little
knot of workers in the Democratic
party The joke of the matter is that
all true Temperance men can see
through the sickening bosh of the
copperheads who are praising the
wing of their party who claim to be
Prohibitionists. We do not consider
that there is any true Prohibition
party. There is little knot of DEM
ocrats- assisted by some men who
were formerly Republicans, who
claim to be in favor of Prohibition.
They are really in favor of defeating
the Republican party, and placing
tie State Government again in the
hands of the Democratic party-the
party with the most horrible record
ever made by any party.
After making the assertion that the
Republican party Of Jackson County
is stampeding to the Prohibitionists,
the Watchman, the Democratic organ
of Pike, thus howls:
Democrats, take hope, and remem-
Der that the darkest hour is just be-
fore day. Don't lose your courage
and flee before the enemy without fir
ing a gun like a pack of towards.
Stand by your guns, boys, and keep
your powder dry, and we will show
the Republicans that we have some
of the old timed fire in US before this
thing is over.

What the Shakers Believe about Disease.

They have learned from many years
experience, that nine-tenths of all the
diseases Of mankind arise from i'm
perfect digestion Of food; for this
reason they have spent years Of labor
in preparing the Shaker Extract of
Roots (Siegel's Syrup and it operates
like a charm in all cases of indiges-
tion.
It is not what we eat that makes
us strong, but that which we digest.
This is the doctrine Of the Mount
Lebanon Shakers. People who are
weak and languid, tired and feeble
often wonder The reason is that the
food eaten does not give strength be-
cause it is not digested. The Shaker
Extract of Roots (Siegel's Syrup will
restore the digestion to healthy con-
dition and drive away the headache,
the pains in the side and back, the
distress after eating and make the
sleep afford rest B. B. Moore, drug
gist at Champlain, N. Y. writes: "We
are using your medicine in my family

pepsia, with the most satisfactory re-
suits. sept.3-4w.

Open Confession!

In a call for meetings in Ohio, published
in the Sixteenth Amendment" Prohibi-
tion paper, occur these words:
1--WE are soon to take in charge the pow
ers of government in Ohio and the nation,
rnd we must be thoroughly organized,
united, earnest"
At the first glance, one is puzzled to
know just how to interpret that state
ment. To conclude that our friends be-
ieve such thing possible as that the
Prohibitionists can carry Ohio, is to con-
clude that they are not fit to remain out
side of an Asylum for lunatics; to con-
clude that they are telling such stuff for
purposes of deception, is to conclude that
they are lying; so we throw aside both
propositions. There is but one remaining
deduction to be drawn: They must be
coming out squarely and honestly, in as
serting their position as the tail end of
the Democratic party, and claiming sue
cess for themselves as Democrats. TAX
ing this view of the matter, we may say
that we are glad our friends have the hon
esty to come before the country in their
true light, as champions of a party pledg-
ed to licensing the whisky traffic, as well
as party which tried to destroy the Gov
ernment of the United States. AS we
have before remarked, as well might a
man walk arm in arm with Satan and
sing unto the Lord.
