Asthma.

In this disease, Piso's Cure for the
Consumption is found as useful as any
other remedy. In great many cases
it effects permanent cure, and in
others it gives relief that is almost
equal to cure. Without trying il
you cannot tell whether it is good or
not. No harm can possibly result
from its use. 1t is very pleasant to
the taste. GROUP.
If a child awakens with hoarse
cough and difficulty of breathing,

WASTING DISEASES.
Consumption, diarrhea, dyspepsia,

The second volume of the beautiful edi-

Roberts Brothers Portland: Loring Short

series. 1t is crammed full of cleverness and
originality from the first page to the last,
and although there are many pages, one new

London Athenaum says: 'sMr. Meredith

of no other living man; and in epigram, as

is an artist in words, of whom his country

There ought not to be any difference of
opinion amongst law-abiding people con-
corning this boyeotting business as it is now
carried on, and it is the duty of every decent
citizen to frown it down, and, if necessary,
to appeal to the law to put it down. 1t is
gratifying to see that this latter step has
been taken in one instance at least, and that
the walking delegates" who have been pa
rading in front of Mrs. Gray's bakery in
New York, have been hailed into court and
fined. Here is woman, who has done no
wrong whatever to anybody, against whom
her workmen make no complaint whatever,
bounded day after day by secret society,
because she will not permit them to say
whom she shall employ Or shall not employ.
That is the length and breadth of her offend
ing, but for this, from morning until night,
for more than week, men have paraded In
front of her place of business, bearing BAN
ners accusing her q of tyranny, and urging
people not to patronize her, while others
have gone round 20 grocery men who have
been In the habit of buying bread OF her and
threatened to ruin their business if they
bought any more. And this performance

to have been hustled off to court and fined,

THE ELECTORAL COUNT ELL

The electoral count bill passed by the Sen
ate has been reported to the House, but.with
good many amendments. In that part of
section 4, which prohibits the rejection of
the vote OF any state from which but one re-
turn has been received, Except by the af-
frmatiye vote of both houses" the commit
tee has struck ont the exception The major
ity of the committe hold that where there
was but single return from a state the two
houses should not have the power to reject
the vote of the state. A material amend
ment has been made in the latter part of the
same section relating to two sets of returns
from one state so as to provide that those
votes only shall be counted which are cast by
electors whose appointment shall have been
duly certified under the seal of the state and
the executive thereof in accordance with the
laws of the state, unless the two houses act
ing separately shall concurrently decide such
votes not to be the lawful votes of the legal

ly appointed electors of such state. The
committee was of the opinion that when
there was more than one return from
state, and but single state government, the
vote of the state lawfully certified by the ex-
ecutiye to be cast by the lawfully appointed
electors should be counted unless both
houses concur in rejecting the vote Should
this amendment be adopted by the House
and the bill passed, the mode of counting the
electoral vote may be thus briefly stated;
In those states where tribunal has been
established for the determination OF contests
and concerning the appointment of electors
therein, and such tribunal has decided what
electors were duly appointed, the determi-
nation of the state tribunal shall be concur
siye Where there is but one return from
the state the vote so returned shall ne count
ed But in case there should arise ques-
ton as to which of two or more OF such state
authorities determining what electors have
been appointed is the legal tribunal of such
state, the votes of the electors of such state,
shall be counted, whose title as electors the two
houses, acting separately, shall concurrent
ly decidc is supported by the decision of such
state tribunal as was authorized by law un-
der the amendment already referred to.
Where there is but one state government and
two sets of returns purporting to be the vote
of the state, that return shall be counted
which is supported by the executive certif-
cate, unless both houses acting separately
shall decide that the vote is not the lawful
vote of the state.
There is great danger that between the two
houses the bill will fail again, as it has fire.
quently failed before, and that the country
will continue to be exposed to contested
count which once at least nearly plunged us
Into civil war. A law on the subject abso-
lutely perfect, and which shall provide for
every contingency is an impossibility. But
the present law can be vastly improved
Either the Senate bill or the House bill is
better than that and it is to be hoped that

Mr.. Powderly's latest circular to the
knights is a curious document. How man
who took so sensible a view of things short
time ago can declare as he does in the very
outset Of this last circular that no matter
whether the strike was wise or not in the
beginning all the Knights ought 10 support
1t now, Is inexplicable except on the assump
ton that he has allowed somebody else's
intellect or alleged intellect to supplant his
own. Sensible people when they find they
have made blunder seek to correct it as
soon as possible, but Mr.. Powderly advises
the st. Louis Knights to perpetuate their
blunder and urges all the Knights through
cut the United States to help them do it.
And, curiousy enough, he seems to think
that in this way he is going to smash Jay
Gould. We have not the slightest objection
to his smashing Jay Gould, but we don't be-
lieve he can ever do it in this way. On the
contrary, every blunder he makes of this kind
strengthens Gould

The American Ornithologists' Union has
issued pamphlet reprint of their report
In Science-in which the wholesale destruc-
ton Of bird-life in the United States is Wig
orously condemned In this country of 3d.
900 1000 inhabitants, half, or 25,0O0,0oO belong
the dead-bird wearing gender, and at least TO-
000, 900 of these belong to the dead-bird wear
ing age or are addicted to dead-bird wearing
proclivities. Indeed, one contributor to the
Union pamphlet found by actual observa-
ton that " per cent. of the ladies who passed
him during one afternoon wore hats with
parts Of birds upon them. But with 10000
900 women wearing single bird in two sea-
sons there would be an annual destruction of
100000 songsters, ten times more than the
number of specimens extant in all our scien-
tific collections, public and private together.
The Union pamphlet states that the destruc-
ton Of 10000 tern.in single season on Cape
Cod for expectation, million rails and bob
olinks killed in single month near Phila-
delphia, are facts that may well furnish food
for reflection Florida marshes have been
depopulated of their egrets and herons,
while the State at large has become the ia
vorite slaughter ground of the mlliner's
emisaries. 1t would be a good thing for our
cruelty to animals societies to extend their
spheres by crusade against this wholesale
slaughter of birds for ornamental purposes.
If the matter was urged upon their atten-
ton undoubtedly the great majority of
women would discard the bird decorated hat
and bonnet.

Sometime ago the drivers and conductors
on several horsecarl lines in New York struck
for reduction of hours and increase of pay.
1t was a perfectly justifable proceeding; the
men had substantial grounds for complaint.
Public sympathy was with them from the
start and the car companies were very soon
compelled to accede to the demands of the
employees Now the employees of the Third
Avenue line have struck, but for a very diff
ferent reason. They do not complain of
their wages or their hours, their only griev-
ance is that the company is employing FIVE
or six men who are not members of the
union which the great majority of the EN-
ployes belong to. They have struck, to
compel the company to discharge these men.
We venture to predict that the strikers will
find it not SO easy winning this time as it
was before. They will find that public SYM
pathy, which was with them before, will be
against them now, and that instead of exert
ing itself to compel the company to yield it
will exert itself to induce the company to re-
sist. People like to see fair play, and it is
not fair play for hundred men to band to-
gether to crush half dozen.

Augusta, Me-, April IS, 1886.

The committee of the Ohio House that has
been investigating the Payne Senatorial
election has made two reports. The major
ity, which is signed by three Republicans,
find that while none Of the members of the
present general assembly have been i'm
peached, the testimony fully justifes that
the case should be certified to the Senate of
the United States for action by that body in re-
gard to Payne's right to his seat. The minori-
ty report, signed by two Democrats, is devoted
to arguments to impeach the most damaging
parts Of the testimony. There is not much
doubt but that there was bribery attending
the election, but it is not probable that
Payne personally was privy to it,

HARMONY The author in the present volume
confines himself to the lives of those states
men whose political activity belongs almost
wholly to the time preceding the catastrophe
of the Athenian armament at Syracuse. He
aims at putting clearly before the reader the
essential difference between the polity of
Athens and that of Sparta thus accounting
of Spartan and Athenian statesmen. This
contrast is not only full of interest, but Of
instruction for all who may be called upon to
take part in the political life of the present

Eyentful Nights in Bible History. By
Alfred Lee. New York: Harper & Broth

The writer is an authority in theology, and
this volume will add materially to his infu-
ence. 1t is not at all sensational, as the
title might suggest, but reverential study
of Scriptural scenes, many of which have
been immortalized by the great painters.
They have furnished themes for poets and
preachers, and will not fail to interest in the
form given them by DR.. Lee Among others
are Jacobs Vision; The Vision of Eliphaz;
The Exodus; The Passage of the Red Sea !;
Saul at Endor Daniel in the Lions Den;
The Midnight Cry Jesus Walking on the

&Harmon) is Colonel Cheswick's Campaign,
by Flora L. Shaw, the first novel, or grown
up work, Of this writer, who is hardly so
pleasing in her new venture as in Castle
Blair, Hector. and other charming stories for
young people Still the book is fairly well
written and quite entertaining, although
somewhat too sad; and one even wonders
that, with SO much to recommend it, the sto-
ry is not more interesting than it proves to
be. Perhaps it is because we are so deluged
nowadays with novels that even the rather
good ones seem tame and Improbable; and
we must have a new and decided flavor to al

A neat and attractive edition of Mrs.
Philbrick's Choice and Hetty's Strange His
tory, has just been issued by Roberts Broth
ers: Boston Portland Loring, Short &
Harmony. Mercy Philbrick's Choice was
the initial novel of the popular No Name
Series, and the strong resemblance it bore to
the SAKE Holm stories in its charming
style, character drawing and more especially
in the poems scattered through it, first ex-
cited suspicion of the identity of the two
writers. Hetty's Strange History was pub
lished later in the same SERIES Although
lacking in some degree the charm of the first
book, it will repay even second reading.
