A very remarkable statement is
made concerning the effects of the ho-
m9opathie treatment in the cholera
epidemic at Naples last year. The wri-
ter, Or. Tomaso Cigliano, says that
he and his three colleagues, Drs. Rubi-
nj, Muccu and Orioli, employed .
preparation Of camphora as a pre-
ventive, and that in about 1000 fam
lilies where it was used not q single
case of cholera occurred. They did
not have a chance to test it in the
hospitals, being denied access to them,
but Of the eighty patients whom they
did treat after the disease had mani
tested Itself, only three died. The treat
ment adopted1with such wonderful
success by those homeopathic physi-
clans consists IN administering four or
five drops OF Rnbini's solution Of cam
phora upon a lump OF sugar every
hour, with a slight increase in the
quantity Of the dose, and a doubled
frequency in very serious cases. For
this treatment a recovery Of 90 per
cent. is taajmsd.

THE Cincinnati En9uirer, leading Democratic paper says, "The Demo crats seem to have caught in Cleve- land a veritable Tartar. He has done more to unpopularize himself with the West and South by his financial recom- mendations, than by all the disaP- pointments about the patronage; and his message is far more popular with the Republicans than the Democrats. " lust so, and the men who bolted Blaine had a better conception of Cleveland's true inwardness than any of the other factions who voted for or against him. They proclaimed him at the time a better Republican than the Republican candidate himself, consequently acted their belief in spite of all persecution. We opine that Democracy will soon again be clamoring for change, that is, for a change from the change they have got to one that will be more after the spirit of what they ought to have. When that time comes there will be veritable change in the makeup of the Democratic party-al! the serpentine shylocks will be bolt ing out, the honest patriotic reformers will be bolting in.

Memory and Nutrition.

The editor of stHerald and Health ir
 discussing the subject of stMemory and
 Nutrition" gives an interesting reminis.
 cence of Agassiz. He says.
 Memory is also, to a large extent, de
 pendent upon perfect circulation of the
 blood in the brain. The following case H.
 Illustrates the effects of impeded circulation of the blood on the memory and is also very interesting account of the workings of the mind in sleep, as given by Mrs Agassiz in the life of her husband.
 "He [Agassizl had been for two weeks striving to decipher the somewhat obscure impression of fossil fish on the stone slab in which it was preserved. Weary and perplexed he put his work aside at last, and tried to dismiss it from his mind. Shortly after, he one night awoke, per. suaded that while asleep he had seen his fish with all the missing features perfectly restored. But when he tried to hold and make fast the image it escaped him. Nevertheless, he went early to the Jardin des Plantes, thinking that on looking anew at the impression he should see something which would put h1m on the track of his vision. In vain, the blurred record was as blank as ever. The next night he saw the fish again, but with no satisfactory result When he awoke it disappeared from his memory as before. Hoping that the same experience might be repeated on the third night, he placed pencil and paper beside his bed before going to sleep. According ly, toward morning, the fish reappeared in his dream, confusedIy at first but, at last with such distinctness that he had no longer any doubt as to it's geological char acter. Still half dreaming, in perfect darkness, he traced these characters on the sheet of paper at the bedside. In the morning he was surprised to see in his noe turnal sketch features which he thought it impossible the fossil itself should re- veal He hastened to the Jarlin C1es PlanteG, and, with his drawing as guide, in chiseling away the surface of the stoue under which portions of the fish proved to be hidden. When wholly ex- posed, it corresponded with his dream and his drawing, and he succeeded in classify ing it with ease. He often spoke of this as 3 good illustration of the weH-known fact that when the body is at rest the tired brain will do the work it refused before.

A Georgia Woman,s Coffee.

An Atlanta lady who is an excellent housekeeper, and whose coffee has been praised time over time, gives the following as the rules and regulations for making that delightful beverage: sIt is an easy matter to have good coffee. In the first place, the coffee must be kept in an air-tight canister, and must be of a good quality, and be ground as is needed. The coffee pot must be kept scrupulously neat. and must be kept in the sunshine when ever there is any sunshine. The tea ket- tie in which the water is boiled must also be kept clean, and fresh water must be used for making the coffee The amount of coffee used must be bounteous, else the product will have limp taste and will fail to give satisfaction. If good supply of crisp, freshly ground coffee is put int, clean pot and fresh boiling water is poured on and the coffee is allowed to boiI while good coffee is the result. At our home we make coffee extra strong. usa about third of cup of good fresh milk with the cream on it, and it is delightful It is far different from much of the alleged coffee that a combination of stineiness and carelessness forces helpless people to drink"
 The lady is right. Eternal vigilance is the price of good coffee.

SENATOR EDMUNDs has enforced another, and more severe bill in the senate to extirpate Mormonism. Women have exercised the elective franchise in Utah for several years, ,and he makes his war upon Mormanism aP. parently as pretext for depriving all women, not only the Mormon, but the thousands of other intelligent women there of the right of suffrage
 The Senator's bill, however
 does not deprive the bigamist or poly gamlst of this right, but the woman who is orly his victim, as also al other women in Utah. Judge Ed munds' peculiar way of dealing ou
 justice savers much of the ''vicarious' style of making the innocent sutte
 for the sins of the guilty. The plu ral wife is not bigamist, but so ia from it that instead of having more than one husband, she really has onl, fraction of what the law allows

It may be an open question whether the state of Connecticut wants to spend mouey enough to get general statistics. But there is no doubt at all that if they want general statistics they must spend money enough to pay for special agents, for this IS proved over and over again to be the only means of getting them. [p. 113.
 Here we have it in cue breath that the experience of other states shows personal investig ,tion cannot cover the ground; and then we have it io the next, that it has been proved over and over again that per sonal Investigation is the only mears of do- ing it.
 Tutor Hadley says that agitation only serves to confuse the mind. Some minds at least, and undoubtedly the gentleman speaks from exp rrience, for he must have had sad dose of it sometime.
 But perhaps the following will serve to indicate the character of the man appoin- ted to investigate the condition of the la boring people of Connecticut better than any words of onrs:-
 A reasonable appropriation for the serv- ices of special agents in the year 1886 would be $1 ,OOO Other states spend much more than this, but 1t is not worth while to begin work on an extravagant scale.
 Here is S1 1000 proposed as ample com pensation for the services of sererdl others, by a man who appropriates S2,O0O per year for himself; anjr1gss;s asserted, without be- ing yet denied tlt&t he does not consider it a confiction with justice to accept 1,5OO more as compensation for services rendered another master at the same time-the Yale College corporation. Yet, while this may indicate no special sympathy of the Con- missioner with higher wages for the factory or other slave, it does indicate his extra ordinary talent for business, and entirely confutes the truth of the inspired text, that no man can serve two masters.
 Taking it all in all, the report, taken from the view of the capitalist, is grati- flying success, for it defies the sc, utiny of the mos. lynx-eyed Connecticut legislator to detect one point in it where absolute recommendation is made for remedial leg islation on any of the grievances which or ganized and unorg lnized Labor have been crying into the ears of the Legislature for years.
 It may be interesting to add that all the corpora ion journals and advocates, are we'll pleased with the report, and a, e rro- fuse in their laudations.

FOR some time past the most inn portant question centering round the inauguration of the coming Legislature has been as to who should occupy the Speakers chair. A man named Tib- bets, hailing from New London, and one ofthe "rascals" whom the" change" has deprived of a good salary, seems tn be the one whom the manipulators have selected, and being such will un- doubtedly be the man. There has been some slight agitation in favor of another, wearing the same tag as the
 political tramp from New London ; but as Farmer Hubbard of Middle town has the reputation of inheriting some sterling traits of character bor- dariro an ara- -ho,,ac4 i,,da->a.a1a,7aa- affairs that h1s candidacy will be per mitted to interfere with the plans and decrees of those who control the des- tiny of Connecticut legislation. MT. Tibbets is said to be "machine" pa triot who loves his party for the good it can do to MT. Tibbets first, and his friends afterwards; while under the leadership of the farmer statesman, the machine might be switched from its usual course, and thus cause much discomfort to it's owners, the corpora tions. However, if there be possible chance for allowing Mr. Hubbard an opportunity of trying his hand we would like to see the most made of it, If there be any anti-machine Republi- cans among the elect, they should strive to enlist the co-operation of the Democrats,-who must only''throw their votes away" in voting for one bearing their own particular label who together with those elected by in dependent votes, and who should con- slider principle before party, might be able to effect that much desired result. "Anything to clog the wheels of the machine' should be the watchwofd of all true representatives of the peo- pie. But, no such welcome words will greet our ears, not yet awhile- at least coming from any considerable number of men liable to secure seats in our Connecticut legislature.

WOAl4N'S OPPORTUNIzIE.S

THE respect with which labor is re-
 garded is a good index of the state of
 civilization in any age, or country.
 Where the toll hardened hand is a
 badge of dishonor or of inferiority, there low state of civilization prevails. In all savage and barbarous nations labor is the brand of servitude. It is but few centuries since, in Europe, even brain work, or any scientific pursuit was bar to association with the "up- per ten," that was, the nobility, the priesthood and the military comman- derS. Yet labor of head and hand is all that has raised man above his animal ancestry.
 In our Southern States, slavery de- graded labor, till to do the slig htest kind of work was to lose caste. Everyone of our loyal soldiers who campaigned in the South during the civil war knows that the condition of the common white people there was a hundred years behind the age. A few thousand slave owners monopoli- zed all the property and were the only ones educated. The" poor white trash" disdained labor equally with the opulent slave holder. But the re- verses of the war, and the abolition of chattel slavery beat some sense into the heads of both classes, and compell- ed the men to go to work. Yet, after hat, many years elapsed before it was thought respectable for white woman
