ATTEST I:

Ex-U. S. Marshal Fred. T. Dubois will
be the republican nominee for delegate
t. compression Idaho. Mr.. Dubois is a
professional politician a radical of the
radicals and fit representative of the
gang of Federal ofiice-holders who have
corrupted the politics of this territory,
thieves who have swarmed into the
temple, climbed into the drivers seat,
bought their way into places where
they essay to control public opinion.
and made of the goddess of Liberty the
reddest garmented harlot that ever
posed with one hand on the affairs of
the Lord, while the other was clincking
the price of her shame. The metaphors
may be somewhat mixed, but the idea
we wish to convey is that Dubois isn't
to be trusted in politics further than
you can sling a cow by the tail.

Paralysis in Pigs.

Paralysis is one of the most common all
ments among pigs. The animal is unable
to use the hind legs, and drags them along
on the ground moving only by the aid OF
the fore legs. This is the only symptom of
disease; the pig eats and seems free from
pain as it really is, because paralysis is a
suspension of the nervous action, and, of
course, the parts affected are without sensa-
ton. This disease is supposed 10 be caused
by the presence of worms in the kidneys.
and in some cases it is undoubtedly due to
this cause. But the kidney-worm is very
rarely found in swine, and never without
the presence of the eggs in the swine, in
which they may be discovered by the use
of a small microscope or a powerful mag
nifying glass. This worm (Sephqllu71lS
deHtQtus) is from one to two inches long
and no thicker than fine tish-line. 1t in
habits the liver mostly, and the fat along
the spine, as we'll as the kidneys, and has
been found in almost every part of the
animal. But unless the eggs can be found,
some other cause is to be attributed to this
trouble. Paralysis is a nervous disorder,
due to indigestion and lack of nutrition.
The frequent use of sour food, or food
even more seriously decomposed than
this. and the want of fresh vegetable
aliment, such as grass, clover or roots, are
the prevailing causes Of this condition.
Another cause is the general gluttony, which
is encouraged by over-feeding; even the
very young pigs, which are permitted to
gorge themselves with sour milk until
sometimes they turn from the trough, give
sudden squeal and die instantly from
sutfocaton, by the pressure of the distended
stomach upon the lungs. The system be-
comes too plethoric or weakened by this
over-feeding; the brain is congested the
spinal cord also is affected, and there is in
fammation of the meninges, or covering
membrane of the spine, or, perhaps, the
brain as well, with effusion of scum, and
pressure and the lumbar nerves which
control both the digestive organs and the
muscles of the loins and hind limbs are
paralyzed. The remedy is to stop the
cause To reduce the feed or wholly sus-
pend it for few days, giving only pure
water to drink. Or very thin, well-boiled
Cruel, with half teaspoonful of sulphate
of iron and as much powdered Peruvian
bark in each drink, given only once day.
Rest of the stomach and other digestive
organs is the best cure, also simple tonics,
to aid recovery. A mild blister, or mustard
or turpentine, applied to the loins will be
helpful, but no remedy ayails unless the
cause is removed.-1merican 4grictdt,Walist.

A common fault is that of needlessiy
criticsing others. Almost every day we
see those whose inhrmities tempt US to
make light of them, whose singular looks
or awkward habits or careless dress make
them the ready objects of satire. There
are faults peculiar to different classes of
people; and this one of criticism, though
occasionally committed by the ignorant aud
vulgar, is particularly the fault of people
of culture-at least of people OF cultivated
and refined tastes. They see the incongru-
tiles as no others do, they are shocked at
the improprieties, and take a satisfaction,
and sometimes delight, in pointing them
out, talking of them, and laughing over
them. This makes up much of what is
called the harmless gossip of society but
it surely is not very noble employment,
and, if the reflections must arise il our
minds, it were better that they should stay
there. | think something Of reverence
ought to pass over us when we
speak of any human being. We may
seek to improve, to correct, to refine
others, for this is all consistent with
respect for them; but l see not how we
may make light of them, for this is the
opposite of respect. And, surely, | need
not speak of scandal and of the devilish-
ness of the delight which some people take
in it. Human nature never seems meaner
than when so occupied. Scandalous things
there are in the world but why repeat
them, why pass them on? Would it not
be good habit not to hear them, save for
self protection of others? Yes. | ought to
add, would it not be good habit not to
believe them, to distrust those that bring
them to our notice, and in every case de-
mand justification for their doing so !?
Gossip is the occupation Of idle minds !;
scandal is the occupation of ungenerous
ones. Hate scandal and scandalmongers
would, think, be good rule of private
ethics. Spread the reports of goodness in
the world and if we have no such reports,
let us, in heavens name keep still We
shall at least do one good thing by doing
this William ~ !Saiter.

A POEM BY THE LATE HELEN
JACKSON.

AN unknown man, respectfully dressed
That was ell that the record said:
Wondering pity might guess the rest
One thing was sure, the man was dead.
And dead, because he'd no heart 10 live;
His courage had faltered and failed the test.
How little the all we now can give,
A naneless sod to cover his breast
Respectfully dressed" the thoughhess read
The sentence over, and idly say.
What was it then, since IL was not need.
Which made him thus fling his life awayf
Respectfully dressed?' Flow little they know
Who never have been for money pressed,
What iteosts respectable poor TO so,
Day after day, " respectfully dressed =
The beggars on sidewalks suffer less.
They herd all together, clan and clan;
Alike and equal in wretchedness,
No room for pride between man and man.
Nothing to lose by rags, or by dir,
More often something is gained instead
Nothing to feAr but bodily hurt,
Nothing TO hope for save daily bread
But respectable poor have all to lose
For the world 10 know. means loss and shame.
They'd rather die, if they had to choose;
They cling as for life to place and name.
Cling, and pretend, and conceal, and hide;
Never an hour but its terror bears:
Terror which sinks like guilt to one side,
And often q guiltler conscience wears.
Respectfully dressed " to the last aye last
Last dollar, last crust, last proud pulse-beat
Starved body starved soul, hope dead and past
What wonder that any death looks sweet.
IAN unknown man, respectfully dressed"
That was all that the record said.
When viii the question let us rest
Is is fault of ours that the man was dead?

Novel Work for Railway Employees,

Myles Machines, NJ. P, who is Di-
rector of the London and Northwestern
Railway Company, addressed some 5000
railway employees assembled recently at
Exeter Hall on the occasion OF the ami
versary of the Railway Mission, and, in
referring to the work of the Mission with
regard to temperance, reminded railway
employees Of the special opportunities they
had of helping forward the social purity
movement. He said: We all can do
something in the way of dealing with this
evil. We each have our different oppor-
tunities. and you, as railway men, have
your opportunities in a marked degree.
You guards, think what you may do.
Think how easily, and how, by a little
watchful care on your part, some girl who
is travelling alone in the train of which you
have charge may be saved years of trouble
In such case, watch over her and protect
her From tine to time in the course of the
journey see what companions she has.
See who has left and who has joined her,
and by so doing you may render her a
service for which she will thank you TO the
end of time You railway porters, who
lead buster life, think what you can do
in this matter by a few kindly words and a
little kindly advice to the girl who arrives
forlorn and ftiendless at a station in a large
town. Railway porters, who have girls Of
your own, think how you would like them
to be watched and helped on their arriving,
strange, unknown and unprotected, in
strange town. You young men who are
not yet married, and to whom l cannot
appeal in that respect, greet every girl you
see in q railway carriage, and on every
crowded and busy platform, as you would
wish your own sister to be greeted ii she
were travelling alone from the old home she
had left"

A Gigantic Magnet.

When the great iron tower, 900 feet
high, was proposed some time ago for the
Paris exhibition of 1889, many engineers
doubted the feasibility of the project,
Judged from their point of view. How
ever, NJ. Eiffel went at the problem and
evolved a design, which was chosen, and
which it is proposed to execute. On the
eve of accomplishment, however, French
" savant " comes forward with q timely
warning of the fearful consequences which
the building of the iron tower will entail.
He says that the enormous blocks Of iron
running north and south would become
polarized, and that this polarization
would soon invade the whole column.
Then who knows whether the four
lifts, with their continual friction,
will not increase the magnetic influence
hundred fold? In this all articles
for O mile round will be attracted to
the tower and will adhere to it as a needle
does to magnet. If the troops quartered in
the ecole militaire hard by be called out to
drill, it will be all in vain for the COM
handing officer TO shout En- avant' if
they are paraded with the column behind
them. Then all the houses in Paris will
suffer from a ST. Vitus dance, and being
gradually drawn toward the Champ de
Mars, will finally find themselves stuck to
the tower. AS for locomotives entering
Paris, it Will be found impossible to stop
them at the various termini they will rush
through the city and dash themselves to
pieces against the center of attraction. These
and other events, we are told, will follow the
erection of the great EifIel tower, which
might, indeed, be called the Teufel tower.

clusters of pink flowers form a beautiful
contrast. All parts of the tree are aro-

Glove, when examined, shows a rounded
head upon short stalk having some re-
semblance to a nail, the French call it clOu,
their word for nail, from which is derived
our name-clove. If a Glove is soaked in
warm water, the rounded head can be
opened, showing it to consist of petals, one
within another, beneath which are the re-
mains OF the stamens and styles, indicat-
ing that it is really loA er-bud. If this
rounded head be removed, the stem por-
ton will be seen to have four points, which
are really the points of the calyx, while the
stem portion is the ovary, to which tine

While the Portuguese held posses
sion Of these islands they placed great
restrictions upon the culture of and
commerce in cloves. The Dutch drove out
the Portuguese entire. and restricted the
culture to Amboyna, causing the Glove trees
in all the other islands TO be destroyed.
In order to prevent the price from going
too low, only certain quantity of cloves
was allowed to be exported, and large
share of the product of Amboyna was pub
licly burned. This attempt to maintain q
monopoly did not succeed. 1t only stimuli

tanned the Glove tree and took it to the Isle
of Bourbon, where it fiourished, whence it
was carried to the West Indies and to va

important producing countries. In
Zanzibar, the harvest begins, in dry seasons,
in October, and in wet seasons much ear

hand, though they are sometimes whipped
from the trees by beating them with bam-
boos. When fresh the cloves are pink and

BALLOONS FOR WAR PuRPosEs.-During
the recent balloon voyage of Messrs.
LHoste and Mangot between Cherbourg
and London, NJ. LHoste made some inter-
esting experiments to determine the FEAST
bility of using balloons for war purposes.
The aeronauts unanswered while passing
over ships, and threw down unloaded tor
pedoes, which, if charged with dynamite,
would have played sad havoc, for the aim
was almost uniformly successful. The re-
suit seems to establish the importance of
the balloon in future warfare. M. LHoste,
in describing his voyage, informs the Bal
loon Society that he claims only partial
control of the movements of balloons by
means of his patent steering apparatus, but
he has demonstrated that by the use of the
Flatteur apparatus he can maintain any
desired altitude above the water. This ap-
paratus consists of a continuance which
drags in the water, and is capable of being
raised or lowered from the balloon.-N. Y.
