Encouraged by the opinion of Jere-
miah, southern democracy lost no time
in arranging itself, in armed treas On
against the Union. At this cricis is
where jeremiah "lost his dignity as an
American citizen,' and thoroughly
proved hims elf ssnot of the stuff that
martyrs are made Of" neither aid he
"know how to feel when called upon to
die for his country" To put it a little
finer it is extremely doubtful whether
or not that he had country. From
his opinion one would conclude that if
he claimed country at all, it would
naturally be about the size of South
Carolina.
But how Jared it with the gospel of
Jeremiah when the Nations hosts of
Freedom were marshalled under the
leadership of the mighty Abraham}
"The water of truth" did "lise grad
ually" and "the overfowing scourge"
did come "The refuge of fraud and
lies" was not entirely swept away,
only, because of the Nations magma
nimity, "This mighty Nation,"> with
big NJ "did rise and shake herself" :"
not cnly as one man, but as millions of
them: She shook the earth south of
Mason and Dixon's line, and also shook
the bottom out of the gospel according
to Jeremiah. "Justice" trod with
leaden hail and struck with her iron
nlads. Goods mills grind slowly" us

good sized grist in very short time
after the flood gate had been fairly
lifted
So much for "the glowing words of
a great man." and while the mossback

the past, no progressive American will

New York Tribune: The fact that
John Roach's bids for the Dolphin
and the three cruisers were $3l5, 900
below any other contractors seems to
dispose of the charge that he was bent
upon plundering the government His
enemies, however, are equal to the
emergency. Selling the bnll by the
horns, they affirm that this very dis
crepancy between his bids and those of
his competitors proves that he had no
intention of honestly fulfilling his con-
tract.
Philadelphia Bulletin: The calam-
ity may well be called national one,
for the ship yards of John Roach rep
resented on grand scale the idea of
American industry and enterprise as
it is represented nowhere else; and to
close these great works means not only
the ruin of John Roach, and not only
the scattering of his thousands of
workmen with all the distress that
such catastrophe implies; it means a
tremendous blow at the whole great
system of protected American industry
from which this branch of it cannot
recover until an American congress
and an American administration rise
to the level of the great issues which
are being repudiated at at'Washington.
New York Tribune: Mr. Roach's
retirment from business is strictly in
line with democratic policy. He clo-
ses his works and yards, discharges
workman receiving $4,000 week,
and leaves large force of industrious
skilled mechanics to shift for them
selves. He is forced to do this partly
because the times have been hard ever
since the election in November, but
mainly because the administration has
been dealing unfairly with him for
partisan ends of its own. The assign
ment increases the feeling Of depress-
Ion caused originally by the success of
a party committed to the policy of free
ships and revenue tinkering.

The dude representing the dignity
of the newspaper up town put on con-
siderable style last week. He prides
himself on showing to the people what
little he knows about grammar and
spelling, and judging from his paper
no one would suspect that he had ever
learned the difference between a gram
mar and spelling book. He says that
"W. H. Mansfield, foreman of his office
took run over to the Bay Saturday.;
when everybody suspects that Mans
field has been the power running the
paper for year or more, and but for
his presence in the Office the thing
could not have been put out in a half
way passable style, land since observing
the paper which came out during Mr..
Mansfeld's absence it is no longer
suspected but becomes a fixed fact
in every ones mind. Again he says.
"Some of ours printers have gone
to the harvest field, no others to be
had" What an idea? When a man
running a newspaper sends his prin-
tiers to the harvest field. A farmer
should just as readily be suspected of
sending his harvest hands to town to
run newspaper. Anyone could have
guessed from the appearance of the
paper that "the printers had gone, and
before leaving, each had thrown boot
black at the paper" Again he pub
fishes. Lost, Between Palestine

with his fine perceptions OF spelling
and grammar he can spell this word
again and then tell the people what
kind of ''bor" he is, he can per-
haps thus interest his readers with funny
historical sketches about himself aside
from his knowledge of spelling and
grammar. However we notice that
all patrons of that paper seem tc
be highly pleased to realize that Mr.
Mansfield has again returned from the
Bay,so that he,no doubt as heretofore,
will write up and again fill the 'Lea
der" with locals prepared by him and
written:in the office, instead of filling
the paper with four columns entitled
"Benton County" which has run il
that forlorn organ for four weeks with
out change, besides nearly four col
umns of clippings which were injected
in the place of local news which ought
to, and would have been written up

A Congo Slave Pen.

Stanley's blood-curdling account of the raid
of the slave-catching bandftti, who for eleven
months have been devastating the region be-
tween the Congo and the Lubiranzi and reap
ing human harvest Of helpless captives, is
the strongest arguments in his volumes in
favor of the rapid opening of Congo Land to
pen itself:
There are rows upon rows of dark nakedness,
relieved here and there by the white dresses
OF the captOrs. There are lines or groups of
naked FORMS upright, standing or moving
about listlessly; naked bodies are stretched
under the sheds in all positions; naked legs
fnnumerable are seen In the perspective OF
PROSTATE sleepers; there are countless naked
hood and girlhood, and occasionally a
drove of absolutely naked old women bend
ing under a basket Of fuel, or cassava tubers,
Or bananas, who are driven through the moy-
ing groups by two or three musketeers. On
paying more attention t. details, L observe
that mostly all are fettered; youths with iron
rings around their neck, through which a
chain, like one OF our boat chains, is rove Sc
curing the captives by twenties. The children
over ten are secured by three copper rings:
each hinged leg brought together by the CEN
tral ring, which accounts for the apparent
llstlessness OF movement observed on first
coming in presence ofthe curious scene. The
mothers are secured by shorter chains, around
whom their respective progeny of infants are
grouped, hiding the cruel iron links that fall in
loops or festoons over their mammas breasts.
There is not one adult man captive amongst
them. Little perhaps as my face be-
trayed my feelings, other pictures would crowd
upon the imagination; and after realizing the
extent and d pth of the misery presented to
me, walked about as in a kind of dream,
wherein l saw through the darkness of the
night the stealthy forms of the murde ers creep
| ing toward the doomed town. it's inmates all
asleep, and no sound issuing from the gloom
but the drowsy hum of chirping cicadas or dis
tant frogs-when suddenly flashes the light of
brandished torches; the sleeping town is in
volved in flames, while volleys Of muketry lay
low the frightened and aStonished people send.
ing many through short minute of agony to
| that soundless sleep from which there will be
no waking.

A Dietary Blunder.

Sir Henry Thompson writes: "Most persons
might naturally be aware that the primary
object of drink is to satisfy thirst, which means
a craving for the supply Of water to the tissues
the only fluid they demand and utilize when
the sensation in question is felt. Water is a
solvent of solids, and is more powerful to this
end when employed free from admixture
with any other solid material. 1t may be fla
vOred, as In tea and otherwise, without impair
ing its solvent power, but when mixed with
any concrete matter, in chocolate, thick
cocoa, or even with milk, its capacity for dis
solving-the very quality for which 1T was de-
manded-is In great part lost. So plentiful is
nutriment In solid food that the very last place
where we should seek that quality is the drink
which accompanies the ordinary meal. Here
at least we might hope to be free from an ex-
hOrtatiOn to nourish ourselves, when DESTROYS
only to allay thirst or moisten our solid mOrsels
with draught of fluid. Not SO; there are even
some persons who must wash down their ample
slices of roast beef with draughts of new
for those of active habit, but for men and
women whose lives are little occupied by exer.
else tits one Of the greatest dietary blunders
which can be perpetrated. One would think it
was generally known that milk is q peculiarly
nutritive fluid, adapted for the fast growing and
fattenlng young mammal-admirabie for such,
tor our small children; also serviceable to those
whose muscular exertion is great, and when it
agrees with the stomach, to those who cannot
take meat. For us who have long ago achieved
our full growth and can thrive on solid fare 1t
is altogether superauous and mostly mis-
ChteVOuS as q drink"

What Becomes of the Dead.

SH Lyon fiay iaif, IN GOOD WORDS.
Ii we follow the process of decay which takes
place in the grave, it will be found that living
organisms take part in the decay of the buried
body just as they do when beef or mutton is
consumed by man. In absolutely pure air
flesh does not decay, and Is in fact preserved
for an indefinite time. But air is very seldom
absolutely pure, for in it are an infinite number
of floating micro organisms either as spores or
fully developed. On the tops Of mountains
these organisms. which are named bacilli, bac-
air OF the country they are common: in that Of
towns they abound; over sewers above
church-yards they positively swarm. What are
they? Are they plants or animals? This is a
question that science has not yet decided
Chemists are inclined to consider them animals
of very low type because animals are chiefly
engaged In performing analytical functions
that Is, pulling organic matter to pieces. while
plants perform synthetical functions--that
out of simple materials. For example, molding
organisms out of carbonic acid, water, and am
monia. Now, the great function Of these micro
in the economy of the world is to convert poten-
tial energy into actual energy, or, to put it
more simply, to convert passive affinities into
for time the repose of the chemical attractions
of those four administration, hydrogen, nitro
bulk Of the BODY. The microorganisms are en-.
gagged in the resolution of the dead body into
those active forms of chemical energy-car-
bonic acid, water, and ammonia. When these
innumerabie little beings have free play they
are the greatest penefactors to the human race.
for they are the most powerful of all scaven-
gers, and they purity air, water, and soil. so as
to render them fit tor the living. But if you OPP
pose their free action by restricting their access
by shutting out the free circulation OF
air necessary to their life functions they
become intensely malignant in their char
acter, the true vampires Of the dead, for
they fly about, planting themselves in
the blood of the living and producing our Well
known epidemic diSeaseS-zymOtico griffith dis
eases. In the fluids OF patients suffering from
such diseases these micro-Organisms swarm.
Mankind has only, recently recognized how
much we owe to the micro-organisms Wine
and beer are prod uced by their agency; by them
vinegar is formed; by them we get those vast
beds of saltpetre or nitre which is one of the
forms into which they convert aging matter
Our ancestors used to live with rushes on the
floor. When the rushes became filthy new ones
We're put on the top, and frequently accumu-
lated to considerable thickness. Then the
dreaded 'petremen" of the king came and as
sisted on digging up the clay floor which had
become saturated with saltpetre formed by these
busy micrOcocci, in order to save the in
hahitants from pestlence produced by their
filthy habits. These little organisms, whether
they be plants or animals, are infinite benefac-
tors to the human race or terrible scourges, ac-
c0rding as man is obedient or disobedient to
the wise laws of the Creator.

SrRAGE DISCOVERY OF CRIMINAL ArTrp
TWENTY YEARS
A dispatch to the New York Herald from
Creston, Iowa, July 16, says: Mount Ayr is
considerably exercised over the arrival there q,
an officer nom Kansas. bringing with him two
men charged with killing David Stiner
at that place in 1865. Stiner had
come from Missouri TO avoid his creditors Il is
said. Two OF them, named Hoffman and
collect their bills. A fight followed in which
Stiner was killed. His family consisted OF a wife
and a baby girl, who is now the innocent cause
of the arrest of the murderers OF her father. The
men fled after the murder, and though a re-
ward of $500 was offered for them, neither was
again heard OF but once Nearly a year after
the murder word was sent from st. Joseph, Mo-,
saying one of the men was there under arrest
ana could be had on payment OF the reward.
Before the officers could secure their papers aud
start news of the sudden death OF the prisoner
was received, and in the course of time the
murder was forgotten.
A year or two ago Miss Stiner began cor.
respondence with young man In Kansas.
After while the two, becoming better &C
4uainted by mail, INDUCED in family gossip.
The young gentleman told of having heard OF a
man named Stiner, at one time a resident OF
II he was In any way related to his unk nown
correspondent. She spoke to some one in the
village of the affair simply as coincidence.
Somehow the officials got on TO IL and looked
the matter up,the result (which was the arrest
OF Aim and Hoffman. the latter of whom is an
uncle of the young man with whom Miss Stfuer
was corresponding.
