Purchased Prohibition.

The good people of Mt. Pleasant,
Ohio, have been greatly exercised for
several weeks past over the prospect
of a saloon being started in their
town. 1t has been long time since
there was a regular saloon in the
quiet country town, and they got
along so well without one-shat they
were determined to use every means
to prevent another opening within
their midst.
Monday morning was the time set
by the saIoonist for opening up for
business. The better people, under
the charge Of the WOman's Christian
Temperance Union, had used all per-
suaslVe means to get the man to
leave, meetings had been held and all
manner of means tried, but without
effect. AS soon as the saloon was
opened Monday morning, as early as
6 o'clock, a committee of the best
men and women of the town took up
their march back and forth in front
of the saloon, and this was kept up
the entire day until the saloon closed
at night, and everybody who went
into the saloon had his name taken
down, for they had "a little list"
This mode of procedure was kept up
until Wednesday evening. when a
conference was held and the proprie-
tor of the saloon agreed for consid-
GRAFTON to close his saloon. This was
accepted by the temperan&. people.
AT II o'clock that night tYs&e was a
great bonfire, and the whisky and
other fMuors were thrown into the
street, the mans license cast into the
fire, the church bells were rung and
almost the entire town was out re-
joicng.

Sleep and Death.

British Medical Journal.
The relationship between sleep,
"the cousin Of DEATH" and death
itself, is probably real as well as ap.
parent. The distance which separates
them is great. but there are interme-
diate connections, grades of disSolu-
ton as of development. Among
these the similar states of trance and
Information are worthy of special no.
tice. For sleep and for trance, one
cause, the exhaustion chiefly of the
nervous matter. but more or less of
every organ and tissue, is assignable.
The hysterical stupor is the sleep of
nerve centerS worn out with the as
sault and conflict of stormy reflex
action. Healthy sleep is the rest of
physical elements wearied with the
same strain applied more gradually.
Cases nave been recorded in which
sOmnOlence, continuing for days with
out cessation, has resembled trance
in its duration, while preserving all
the ordinary features of natural sleep.
Various facts support us in assOciat-
ing Information with the train of
organic or functional changes as the
other unconscious states which we
have been considering. 1t comes like
habit; it has, one may say, annual
return its apparent cause is the op-
preston of external cold, and the an
imals it affects are mostly those
which, from their bodily structure or
habits, are subject to great periodic
variations of temperature. Vital It's
sue is exhausted and function is in
part suspended. probably because the
numbness of cold has taken hold up
on the radicles of the outward circu-
lation, and of that of the brain sur.
face which Is connected with it by
numerous anastomoses. In such a
case an9mia would seem to be the
cause of the winter sleep, as there is
evidence to show that it is also the
cause of that temporary starvation of
brain which luIls without arresting
its action in the natural repose of
each night.
We may even regard the lethargy,
ended by death, into which a man
falls when exposed to great cold as
short and mortal Information. The

Rough on Delinquents.

Greenville, Ala, has an eccentric
merchant who does not care what he
says. Recently he has issued an ad-
dress to his delinquent debtors, in
which he handles them without
gloves. Here's a specimen of his
style of dunning delinquent custo.

Moose i v Stock.
Grand Forks Herald.


News was received on Saturday from
Richardson, Prouty & Co.'S Moose river
rancho, where the leading members OF
the firm now are looking after the stock.
The report is that out of a total of 400
head but two died. The stock was hay
fed during several months and comes
out this spring in a better condition than
it was last fall-in fact it is fit for market.
The grass of that fertile region has no
superior in nutritive properties. There
is a field offered here for enterprising
capital second to none in the country,
which should be eagerly accepted by en-.
terprising stockmen of the Southwest
whose losses last winter were appalling.

THE AFGHAN FRONTIER.

Afghanistan has frequently been re-
ferred to as the "gate to India" Russia
don't care a cent for the gate, but if
she can capture the lock and hinges the
gate will be useless. The trouble over
the Afghan boundary has been brewing
for a long time. After repeated en-
croachments by Russian cossacks upon
Afghan territory, the English parlia-
ment, in 1881, declared that by 4 solemn
treaty with the ameer England was
bound to guarantee the integrity of
Afghanistan. In May last, after occu-
plying Merv, Russia invited Great Britain
to appoint a joint commissioner to de-
fine the Afghan frontier. The offer was
accepted. At that time the Russian
outposts nearest to Herat were 500 miles
distant by the road from the Caspian
and 500 miles distant by the road of
the Oxus. England had no sooner &C.
copied Russia's offer than the latter set
her troops in motion There are two
roads, and two only, by which Herat
can be approached from Russia. One
il the road that starts from the Caspian
and runs to Krasuovodsk; the other is
the Oxus route, which passes through
Khiva and Merry. In July last year the
Russian troops advanced from Paha'
durmez to sarakhs, three hundred
milea nearer Herat. In September she
pushed on TO Yolatan, on the edge Of
the Msry oasis, and in November last
