Evils in The sleeping Room.

1t is an altogether too common a.
practice to keep the accumulation of
soiled clothing during the week in
some receptacle within the sleeping
room, or in closet opening therein.
Some even go so far as to provide
something ornamental for the pur-
pose, thus drawing attention to that
which betrays great ignorance of the
laws of health and cleanliness. A
close closets even more Objectionable,
because everything in it must share
the impurities and it has not the same
chance of regular or accidental vent-
lation which the larger room has.
Another source Of evil is the heat
ing OF our bedrooms to the point of
personal comfort at bed time. No one
can dispute the agreeableness OF such
indulgence, but it takes from the air vi
tai qualities and renders violent meas
ures for ventilation absolutely neceS-
sary. 1t would be much better to
dress and undress in another room
and depend on sufficient covering and
the natural heat of the body, which
very soon bring the temperature up to
comfortable point and keep it there
throughout the night.
A worse evil than either Of those
mentioned is that Of keeping vessels
containing excrement of any kind in
the sleeping-room during the night
or for any time in a sick ROOM
enough cannot be said in condem-
nation of the most common practices
in regard thereto. / will admit that
their temporary disposal is a matterof
some perplexity; however thorough
appreciation of the case and q moder-
ate degree of pains-taking will enable
most people to depart from these old
time habits Ii one is restricted to
the use OF only one room, there may
be a serene fixed in some part of it
where a window can be slightly raised
to draw off the poisoned fumes, or
what is better, an open fireplace
with the screen standing before it, but
under no circumstances should the
bed be used as a hiding place for any
thing unclean the thought of a mat
trass gathering such pollution from
year to year is disgusting, and sleep
ing on such mattrass must in time
poison the blood of the unconscious
victim.

Women Who Sleep in their Clothes

Lady Shiel, in her "glimpses at life
and manners in Persia, says: "I went
to see the Shah's half-sister, beauti-
full girl OILS who lived with her mother
in an obscure part of the ante-room,
neglected by the Shah and consequent
ly by every one else. She was really
lovely, fair and with indescribable
eyes and a figure only equaled by
some OF the chefs d'puvre Of Italian
art This is so very rare among Per-
sian women that she was one Of the
few persons | saw in the country with
an approach to q good figure.
"She was dressed in the usual fash
ion of trousers on trousers, the last
pair being of such stiff brocade that if
put standing upright in the middle
Of the room they would remain. Her
hair was CURED, not plated, and she
was literally covered with diamonds.
She was quiet in her manners, and
seemed detected. She was most
anxious to hear about European Gus
TOMS
"And what seemed to surprise hel
most was that we took the trouble to
undress every night on going to bed
and she asked me was it true that We
put on long white dress to pass tAt
night in,
"All Persian women are astonisheC
at this custom, and are quite unable tt
account for it. They never undres
at night; they unite their thin mat
tress from its silken cover, draw it on
from its place against the wall, an,
roll themselves up in the waddeC
quilt which forms their blanket TIL
: only time they change their clothes i
when when they go to bathe If the
go out to visit they Of course put OF
2 their best garments, and take them o
at night; but generally they lie dow
Just as they are, and even in col
weather they wear their 'chadeor, 0
out-of-door veil, at night"

Ought Not To BE the Case.

Marriage is sometimes said to be the
door that leads deluded mortals back
to earth but this need not and ought
not be the case. Certainly love may
end with the honeymoon if people
marry to crafty "gunpowder pas
sion," or for the sake of mere outward
beauty, which is like glass soon bro
ken. OF course the enthusiastic,
tempestuous love of courting days
will not as a rule survive marriage.
A married couple soon get to feel to-
wards each other very much as two
chums at college, or two partners in a
business who are at the same time
old and well-tried friends. Young
married people often think that those
who have been in the holy state Of
matrimony twenty or thirty years
longer than themselves are very pro-
sy, unromantie, and by no means per-
feet examples of what married people
ought TO be.

The First Judicial District.
.etter to The Nashyllle American.

Letter to the Nashville American.
JoNEsBoRo, July 21.-In the First
Judicial Circuit the Republicans are
hopelessly split up over their judicial
ticket 1t has been conclusively es-
tablished that Col. A. j. Brown, can
didate for circuit Judge, and H. T,
Campbell, candidate for Attorney
General, secured their nominations by
fraud and the practice Of the most dis
reputable methods. This charge is
stoutly maintained, not only by Dem
ocratic organs, but by large number
of the friends Of the aspirants defeat
ed by these nominees.
Brown was a member of the Demo-
cratic party for number of years.
He was always defeated He sudden
! ly changed his political affiliations,
and at once became rampant Repub-
lican of the most pronounced bloody
shirt type. After making several
fruitless efforts to run on the Republi-
can ticket he at last won the nomina-
ton by the employment of means
that large number of Republicans
will condemn at the ballot box. He
was lieutenant colonel Of the Eighth
Tennessee Cavalry, U. S., and made
such an unsavory military record that
he is very obnoxious to the Federal
soldiers. They will knife him almost
to man, especially the veterans Of
his own regiment.
Judge st. John is candidate of his
own motion against Brown and is
highly endorsed by members of the
bar. He has made a good record as
Chancellor, appointed by Gov. Bate to
fill out the unexpired term of the late
Judge Smith.
R. Burrow, the old law partner OF
Bob Taylor and his associate on the
Johnson City Comet, is a candidate fol
Attorney General and is the choice oI
the Democratic portion OF the bar 0.
the circuit.
The Democrats are largely in the
minority in this circuit, and deemed
it foolish waste Of time to hold G
judicial convention. In fact no one
could be found who would accept &
nomination, knowing that defeat was
inevitable. But the Jonesboro Re
publican Convention was such an out
rage on common decency, without thu
faintest semblance of fairness anC
honesty, that affairs took differen
shape for the success of an opposition
ticket. The disaffection in the Re
publican ranks was so widespread ant
determined that the people seen
to take instinctively to St. John anC
Burrow. They constitute the Peo
pies Ticket in the widest signifcanc,
of the term, and will command hun
dreds of Republican voters.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, July "a, 1885,
There is considerable hustle about mil
itary headquarters here, and although
the officers are reticent the report is
currant that General Stanley has re-
ceived orders to have all his available
force in readiness to move at a mo-
ments notice to El Paso whenever
the order therefor is received. The
gathering Of the Mexican war cloud is
watched here with u great deal of in
terest and but one opinion prevails
that the Mexican government should
be taught that it cannot treat Ameri-
can citizens with indignity.

To-morrows my sweetheart's birthday:
What shall giye to my dear2
call her my sweetheart in my thoughts,
But never when she is near;
For I've never had courage to tell her
How all my life is her own;
How into my heart her image
With deathlees love has grown.
And what shall I take for her birthday
Something that she will keep,
And think of me when she looks at 1t,
Something with meaning deep,
And strong and clear that win tell her
The secret long to speak,
Till the beautiful rosy bushes
Come mantling up to her cheek,
Shall send her book OF verses
Love songs that the poets sings,
Or bunch of loves own blossoms,
For a true-love offering?
The flowers with my message laden,
Their meaning she may not read,
And the songs that were sung for others
She, reading, may not heed.
will take the book of verses,
Love verses, sweet and true
And bunch of fragrant heliOtrope
That whisper: Il love you"
will lay them in casket
OF plush and mother-of-pearl,
And gift I'll lay among them
That will speak ito my sweet girl.
She will lift the fragrant blossoms
With such happy look;
Then she will open merrily
The little gilt-edged book;
And then from out the casket
My best gift she win bring;
And o. upon her hand hope
She'll slip the ruby ring.
And so viii tell my secret
Without spoken word
And by my darling surely
Ny message will be heard.
And what for maidens birthday
More happiness can bring
Than for favored lover
To give an engagement ring?

been consumate fraud in everything
he has ever undertaken or been CON
nected with and that his election to
the Office Of Judge by Republican
votes would cast slur and stigma on
the party, which would greatly injure
it's character in the eyes.of all honest
citizens; ] shall cast my vote against
A. j. Brown and for G. j. st. John,
who is lawyer OF ability, man with
clean character, and who is the can
didate of no party clique or clan.
| shall now briefly pay my respects
to H. t, Campbell, the candidate for
Attorney General.
He is a son Of as good and honest a
father and mother as lives in the State,
who gave him excellent opportunities
for getting an education and studying
law He improved his opportunities
in way to give promise Of gaining
honorable distinction in his profession,
had he the patient diligence to earn a
character, and work his way up the
ladder as better men have always
done.
Bot his youthful desire to leap at
one bound from the school-room to
the pinnacle of fame, turned his head
from honorable and industrious com
petition to listen to the wiles of evil
councillors, and seek to raise himself
by pulling others down. Mr., Camp
bell and his friends must have known
that John Fain was the choice OF a ma
jority OF the party, else why the dishon-
Orable bargain to steal The vote Of Han
cock and Hawkins counties fromHack-
er and deliver them to Brown. His
friends who managed the job, have
admitted to me that they preferred
Hacker and knew he was the party
choice, but that a trade With Browa
Wds the only chance to nominate Camp
bell. Mr.. F. L. Bray, the brothef-in-
law, who managed the matter made
the above statement to me, and will
not deny it. Now, while l was ioI
Mr.. Campbell in the primary, and did
all ! honorably could to secure him
strength in the convention, it was on
the expressed understanding with his
friends that Judge Hacker should not
be traded of, but should get his
strength fairly in the convention.
Under these circumstances, | can.
not vote for Mr. Campbell without vi
olating my own sense Of decency and
fairness, which argue should prevail
in politics as in everything else.
l believe defeat in this race would
impress a useful lesson on my youne
friend, and shall therefore vote iol
Robert Burrow. Respectfully,
