RoBus7 Health

Is not always enJoyeu by those who seem
to possess it. The faint of corrupted
blood may be secretly undermining the
constitution. In time, the poison will Ger.
tainly show its effects, and with all the more
Nirulence the longer it has been allowed
to permeate the system. Each pimple, sly,
boil, skin disorder and sense of unnatural
lassitude, or languor, is one of Natures
warnings of the consequences Of neglect.

Cowhfding a Minister.

A Brownsville (Pa.) special says:
Mrs. Anna Krepps, proprietress OF the
Monongahela House, recently made ap-
plication for license to sell liquor.
Among those who opposed the petition
circulated for that purpose was the Rev.
Mr.. Scott, of the First Methodist Epis-
copal Church, who protested from the
pulpit last Sunday evening, and crlti-
cised the actions Of some OF the dead
members of the Krepps family. Mrs.
Krepps swore she would cowhide the
minister, and purchased heavy lash.
In the meantime her brother-in-law
went to Mr.. Scott's house at midnight
recently. Mr.. Scott, who is over 20
years of age, responded to the knock
ut the door, which he held wide open.
Krepps rushed upon the aged minister,
and pulling cowhide piled 1t vigor-
ously three times across Mr.. Scott's
back and then ran off. Mr.. Scott sank
to the ground from pain and was una
BILE to get up again. He was carried to
his bed and is now in very low condi-
ton. Krepps has not been arrested.

The first reception given by Miss
Cleveland was held last Saturday even
ing, and was a noted social success.
Nearly all the leading society people
were present, including the families OF
nearly all the Republican Senators, and
Mrs. Blaine, attended by her son and
daughter, and Mrs. Logan. The action
of the Blaines In making themselves
agreeable, Is highly commended.
Mr.. Blaine also called on the Presi-
dent last Friday, and the visit Is looked
upon as destined to lead to sincere and
friendly intimacy. tits understood that
the President and Mr.. Blaine were
equally pleased with each other; that
their conversation was Of an unreserved
character. and that at the conclusion Of
the Interview each was satisfied that
the other had no part or sympathy In
the inspiration Of the personal attacks
made on both during the progress OF
the last campaign. Mr.. Blaine's visit
came about IN the following way: A
mutual friend Of his and Of the Presi-
dent said to him he thought 1t would be
q proper thing for him to call at the
White House. Mr.. Blaine responded
that lie would be glad to do 90 II he
thought his visit would be agreeable.
This being communicated to the Presl-
dent, he Immediately named = time
when he would be glad TO see Mr..
Blaine, and It was 10 fulAllment Of this
appointment that Mr.. Blaine made his
call.

Murder and Lynohing.

Aspecial has just been rscsiysd giving
intelligence OF a murder and lynching
which occurred at Princeton, Mercer
county, w. Va. The murder was COM
mltted on Tuesday of last week, the VIC
tim being farmer named Perry and the
murderer Arthur Jackson, a young col
ored man, aged about twenty years.
The purpose Of the crime seems to have
been murder, pure and simple. Perry
was lslsursly driving along the road,
near Princeton, when Jackson fired on
him from thioket, killing him Instant
~. He then robbed the body of its val
uables and most Of the clothing and hed.
That evening he was rash enough to at
tend dance at house in the town, and
was arrested. He was given prelimi-
nary examination and confessed the
crims. He was remanded to Jail. The
matter created intense excitement, aud
In few hours a mob assembled, took
the man from the Jail by force and hang
cd him 10 tree.

"got their fuglemen loaded heavily

Now, Messrs. Editors, Everybody s

perance issue, though all the men on 1t
were temperate men. The issue Tor
which they contended, and which many
of our citizens consider of more account
than either license or spite, was clean
streets and alleys. They proposed TO
have the alleys cleaned and kept clean
by enforcing the laws and compelling
the owners Of filthy stables and hog
mems to abate these nulsances or pay for
having it done. The temperance issue
was raised by those opposed to Every
body's ticket" and for the purpose OF
gaining an alliance Of the liquor dealers
for the Taxpayers ticket" II Is a
we'll known fact that one Of the men on
that ticket, and the "strikers" and
"rounders" who were actively support
ing It, warned the liquor dealers that
the renewal OF their licenses depended
on the success Of that ticket, while an
other member of the ticket was telling

fact or fancy, 1t is an equally we'll

In the interest of "Evsrybody's ticket"
it was done without the knowledge or
consent Of the men on that ticket.

supposed this question finally settled.

walking home some dark night to get
his spectacles covered with something
more Opaque than even fly-specks.

LEGIsLATIvE LoaE.



The Legislature of 1886 has passed
away. 1t has gone to It's grave burdened
with sins of omission rather than with
those Of commission. A few days more
Of solid work, and instead of IA paltry
list Of forty-nve bills (most OF them
purely local In their charaeter) the en-
tire calendar would have been finished,
and the members could have returned
with pride 10 their constituency.
Who were the laggardss Where shalt
the blanc restf The Republican minor
ity were the laggards. and what Is more
to the point, they, too, were the obstfuc-
tionisis. At their door the blame must
and win remain. Led on by Dawson,
Of Preston, anu spurred to the work by
a would-bs manipulation, McGrew, OF
Monongalia, the Republican minority
in the Senate was ever ready and anx-
ious to turn aside from the legitimate
work of the session, and turn the cham.
Der into beer garden Of politics. In
their efforts to force upon the Governor
law requiring him to appoint a Repub-
llcan on the board of Regents OF the In
sane Asylum, several days were con-
sumed by the delightful minority In
exploding political dynamite. II their
constituency sent them to the halls OF
legislature to rehearse old campaign
speeches, then may the Lord help such
a constituency But II their constitu-
ENJOY relegated them to legislative busi-
ness, that same constituency should see
to It that different class Of representa-
tives be elected the next time.
Further on In the session, when the
Democratic majority saw the need OF
closer attention to the calendar, reso.
luton was introduced limiting speeches
to ten minutes. One whole day was
consumed by Morris, Dawson, Smith
aud others, of the beautiful minority In
the Senate, In speeches of opposition.
Still later, when 1t became apparent
that not more than, perhaps, one-eighth
of the various bills introduced could be
acted upon in the forty-ive days allowed
by the Constitution, the Democrats, to
a man, In the Senate, voted to extend
the session five days WITHOUT PAY. The
Republicans, with one exception, voted
solidly against the proposition.
How very apparent the object and
motive in all these things. Obstruct,
obstruct, .obstruct! Such was the mis-
sion of the exemplary minority. OBJ
struct! Then 60 to their homes and
blame ono legislation" upon the Demo-
Gratis. Obstruct! Then claim to be econ
omists and disciples Of retrenchment.
The people will remember that all the
distractions to legislation were at the
expense of the people themselves; and
If the obstructionists expect any politi-
cal capital from such miserable and sx-
travagant tactics, 1t Is evident they
have but limited respect for the intelli-
gence of our people.
Let the people remember that legisla-
ton under Democratic supremacy was
always satisfactorily accomplished until
this session. Why not nOwf The an
swer Is plain. Because the minority
was strong enough to obstr7ict. And OBJ
struct they did. Eighteen months hence
rid your legislative halls Of obstruction
lists, and there'l be no complaint with
regard to "no legislation.

Ancianf Book.


DR.. Rufus H. Bartlett of Chicago,
writes letter to the intsr- Oeson about
an ancient book which he recently found
In the possession of one Of his patients.
He says:
It's heavy covers Of rotten and honey.
combed wood, Its leaves Of ancient
parchment, all worn and stained, some
portions written with lux OF one color
and some with another, which 10 I'D
many places entirely faded out, all go
to show that 1t is Of very ancient origin.
Comparisons were made with specimens
of early writings In the works OF John
Kits, which indicates that IL must nave
been written between the hrst and sixth
centuries. There were very few Tes-
taments written in the apostolic age ny
the early fathers, most of which remain
until to-day. One isin Berlin, one 10 In
st. Petersburg, and one or two copies
are found In the libraries OF Rome,
Paris. Asia Minor, who was educated
nj SMYRNA I'm one Of the best Greek
schools. and who has seen two or three
of those Testaments, gives it Us his opln-
ion that this book is of much earlier
date. It Is believed to be the first writ
ten reports of Chris.'s sermons and to
be copy of the original letters by St.
Paul to the different churches. Ina
letter written to Bishop Titus st. Paul
addressed him as "my child Titus" and
when writing to Timothy he addressed
him as "my child Timothy" always. In
all his letters to the different churches
he uses always the expression, my
brethren" which is not found, 80 far as l
know, In our Bibles of to-day. Further
comparisons show that translators have
succeeded in making some very plain
things very difficult ami hard to UNDER
stand. Proper names are changed, and
even the Lords Prayer loses much OF
its force and beauty by being wrongly
and unnaturally translated.

Inquiry OH Saturday by representa-
tive of the New York World among
principal merchants in various depart
lnents of business in that city ELECTED
the fact that trade is much better than
II was last year at this time; that 1t has
measurably improved during the last
fortnight, and that there Is every indi-
cation of futher increase both In VOL
ume and price in the immediate future
The representative of leading hard
ware house said:
"The volume of business is large, and
is I'm excess of last year at this time, and
IL very satisfactory. We note marked
Improvement within the past fortnight,
but we are compelled In consequence OF
the keen competition to do 1t On very
small margin Of profit. AS to the inhu-
snce of the new administration, should
not like to attribute the Increase oftrade
to that, but whatever the cause, we are
thankful for it. Our export trade in par
ticulsr Is much larger than has been
usual at this season."
The representative Of large shoe and
leather company said: 1--WE are doinga
much larger business than we did last
spring, and think we will find that to
be general all through the trade. People
bought nothing to speak of last year and
let their stocks run down, and now they
have to buy. AS to whether Mr.. Cleve-
lands election has anything to do with
this or not, don't care to express any
opinion. Evidently the contest last year
had Its influence aud unsettled things
generally, and this being over. msr-
chants are beginning to purchase freely.
[ think it would have been just the
same II Blaine had been elected. What
business men want Is stability"
Atalarge dry goods commission house
It was said: 1--WE don't know whether
the election Of Cleveland has anything
to do with 1t, but certain 1t Is, our trade
has increased .most wonderfully since
the election. People last year, and even
into the spring, bought very sparingly,
and ran their stocks down to the lowest
point, and for the last two or three weeks
there has been rsaction. ! presume
we should have just as good business
II Mr.. Blaine had been elected, but he
was not, and we are quite willing to at
tribute all our present prosperity to the
influence Of . democratic administra-
tlon, or to anything else, so long as We
have the business" g..
