Partisan Decentralization.
From q Paris Letter.

From q Paris Letter.
One of the most significant signs of
the present Generalization of til
French society is the utter absence
OF respect for the dead. Only a few
weeks ago oneof the best known paint
ers in Paris invited his friends to a
most characteristic entertainment
The wall Of his immense atelier were
hung from ceiling to floor with heavy
black draperies and on a bier in the
center of the room, surrounded by
lighted wax candles, were set out the
refreshments for his guests, a black
velvet pail being used as a tablecloth.
The wines were cooled III an infants
coffin transformed into an ice-pail.
The men present were all dressed in
white shrouds, while the ladies wore
the deepest widows weeds. Skulls
and crossbones were disposed in the
most artistic manner on the walls.
while skeletons hired for the occasion
appeared to emerge from behind the
draperies. Needless to add that the
widest revelry prevailed, dancing was
prolonged till daylight, and thefollow-
ing day the newspapers of the capital
gave a most enthusiastic description
OF this original fete, marked by so
much delicacy and refinement.
A few days later one of the pecul-
iarly shaped and well-known tank
wagons ofthe Compagnie Richer, which
was used for conveying the contents
OF the cesspools down to the barges
on the Seine, was being slowly driven
past one of The best-known clubs Of
the boulevard. Struck by a brilliant
idea, twenty or thirty ofthe members,
among them representatives OF the
Oldest families in France, rushed out
of the club and followed the wagon all
down the boulevard in procession,
walking two and two with bare head
and reverent mien, as if following a
hearse.
Encouraged by such examples on
the part of their superiors In birth
and education, the lower classes flock
ed in crowds to the cafe opened some
time ago by the ex-Communist Lis
bonnie, where the tables are shaped
like collins, the tankards like skulls,
and where the thirsty are waited upon
by young women who look refreshing
ly cool in this hot weather in their
grave clothes.

Hay Fever.

congregatioualist.
This disease seems to be growing
each year more common. 1t is an
outgrowth ofimodern civilization, and
occurs only in'persons who possess a
certain speciali susceptibility OF the
nervous SYSTEM either hereditary or
acquired. 1t is more common in men
than women, and prevails largely
among men of letters and intellectual
culture. The direct exciting cause is
now ascertained to be the pollen OF
certain plants such as the grasses, rye,
wheat, oats, ragweed and Roman
NORWOOD. The pollen of different
plants excites it in, different persons,
but whatever cause produces it C
Will produce it again in the same per-
son. Hence it appears oftentimes
with strict regularity year after year,
at seasons varying from May to Oc-
tober. The first symptoms are those
OF itching of the eyelids and nasal pas
sages, followed by frequent ~sneezing
and the discharge of q erou fluid.
Henry Ward Beecher, himself a suf-
ferer, says: "You never before even
suspected what it really was to sneeze.
If a pane of glass is gone you sneeze.
If you look into the sunshine you
sneeze. If you sneeze once you sneeze
twenty times. 1t is a riot of snee2es.
First, a single one, like a leader in a
flock of sheep, bolts over; and then, in
spite of all youcan do, the whole flock
come dashing over in twos, in fives, in
punches Of twenty" Next, there is
redness and watering ofthe eyes, swell
ing of the mucous membrane of the
nose, and general febrile symptoms.
Sometimes the nose is entirely closed
by the swelling. Cough follows, lore
or less frequent and violent, generally
with but little expectoration. In a
certain proportion OF cases there are
parcxysms of asthma, more or less
severe. After a variable duration the
sneezing ceases, the discharge be.
comes thick and less abundant, the
swelling subsidies, and all the symp-
toms abate. The only method of pre-
venting the disease in susceptible per-
sons is to avoid exposure to the K
citing cause. Certain localities have
gained wide notoriety from the immu-
nifty which they afford from this dis
ease. Bethlehem. n. H, is one of the
most famous of these. Others are
found among the mountains, at the
seaside and on islands. A voyage at
sea always gives relief.

A New York correspondent of the
Hartford Courant has this defense Of
the practice Of parting the hair in the
middle:
Speaking Of thatfashion, in men, the
idea that it is efieminate has long
since been exploded. Some of the
greatest men among us part their
hair in the center. Among them may
be mentioned Ingersoll, Roscoe Conk-
ling, his brother, Colonel Frederick
Conkling, Bishop Potter and hun
dreds OF others among army officers,
the clergy and statesmen. 1t is no
more efeminate than it is masculine
for a young lady to part her hair on
the side; it is simply q question Of
what is becoming. / know OF O.
clergyman, who looks manly and
grand with his hair parted in the GEN.
ter, who looks actually foolish when
his brow is more covered by the hair
parted on the side, as he wore it one
day at the request Of his wife, who
laughingly declared she never wished
to see his HAIR parted on the side
again. He says he has q good exam
pie in wearing his hair as he does-the
pictures of the Saviour have the hair
worn in o like 1 know sever
al pretty young ladies who are made
prettier by the hair being parted d lit
tie at one side. 1t shortens the face,
and really looks more feminine, as
does everything which covers the brow.
It is only custom which makes MS
think otherwise.

Survival OF the Fittest.

For some time past the question of
purity in baking powders has formed
quite feature of newspaper discus
sions, and eminent doctors of philosophy
have given opinions as to the ingredi-
ents which compose many of the arii-
Giles sold under that name. The inyes-
LEGATIONS have narrowed down TO the
limit which awards the Royal Baking
Powder the palm of purity, and several
of the most distinguished scientists have
testified to their conviction that no ex-
traneous or deleterious matter enters
into its composition. The Royal Bak-
ing Powder Company have achieved
worldwide reputation for the success
which has marked their preparation of
cream of tartar for baking purposes 1t
is indisputably shown that they have
eliminated all elements of tartrate of
lime, alum or other impurities, and
present TO the public a healthful and
chemically pure article. Such widely
known chemists as Henry Morton, E.G
Love, Ii. A. Mott, VIM McMurtrie and
others have verified its superiority over
other manufactures, and testified,
through practical experience, to its ex-
cellence. 1t is well for families to oh .
serve the fact that it costs more to man
ufacture the Royal Baking Powder than
any other, but it is, as shown by chem
zeal analysis, the one absolutely pure
baking powder m AIDE.

Waiting for a worthless onipio,

The called 3 per cent. bonds do not
come in as fast rs was expected. Large
amounts are owned by the national
banks and deposited as security for
their circulating notes. They refuse to
surrender their bonds, Notwithstanding
interest has ceased. as they had rather
lose the interest than pay the high mar.
ket price of the and A per cents to
deposit in lieu of the 3's. The treasury
is taking no action in the matter, and
is said to be awaiting the return OF
Attorney General Garland to obtain his
opinion rs to whether the banks can
be compelled To surrender their called
bonds.
The preposterous character of this
excuse for delaying action on this mat
ter is obvious. An opinion of Mr. Gar
land on that or any other legal question
is not entitled TO public respect and will
not receive it. The Pan-eleciric smirch
is all over him. and all his official

II. b. Showalter for Assembly.


1t is the opinion of the HERALD that
the Republicans of tho Second Assem-
bly, District have, in the nomination of
Mr.. Showalter, found q very fortunate
and easy way out of the difficulties and
uncertainties which have so often beset
them through injudicious and persistent
factional quarrels. Mr.. Showalter is
one of the few men Suitable in other
respects) who could be found in the
district, who are not Objectionable TO a
large number of the party through
memories of old and bitter feuds, now
happily dying out. He is man of in
telligence and ability, widely known
through the county, and wherever
known highly respected by everybody
and trusted for his good intentions and
good principles.
With Mr. Showalter's nomination
vanished the last personal reasons for
any Republicans voting for Demo-
cratic candidate for assemblyman from
this district, and certainly there are
strong political reasons why no Repub-
lican should so vote. A United States
Senator from Wisconsin is to be elected
by next legislature, and it is highly
important that a Republican be elect ed
TO help insure the maintenance of the
Republican majority in the Senate. A
Republican vote for a Democrat for
aSsemblyman from this d istrict may
mean q Republican vote for Demo-
cratic U. S. Senate The Republicans
have votes enough in this district, but
this is no time for them to fool away
any votes.

Argument VS.. Doodle.

II. A. Taylor. chairman of the Repub-
lican state committee, says the com
mittee will make this a campaign of
sharp discussion instead of Il still hunt
He says we hear of thousands of dol
lars beng expended in some of our
state campaigns-its not only unneces-
sary but injurious, and il we want to
preserve the purity Of our politics and
our public officers, we must abandon
all Doodle methods and appeal only TO
the honor and Intelligence of our voters.
We can't hope for pure officers ont of
corrupt elections.
Our campaigns are the great educa-
tors of the people. They give an i'm
pulse to thought and ideas and instruct
and elevate the people. The "still
hunt" or "boodlo" campaign is the
very opposite it demoralzes and de-
grades the voters. II can't appeal
openly 10 the best people and the high
est motives as public discussion of live
issues and principles does. And when
you have won an election by the use OF
large sums of money you've gained
nothing foryour party. You have really
weakened il for the next contest But
when YOU have convinced man and
won vote on principle he stays with
you and strengthens the party perman-
entity. Largo sums Of money are moi
necessary. Ii you haro any issue al
stake worth conteuding for, an honest
appeal to the intelligence of the people
is far more effective.

Prince Alexander, of Bulgaria, is the
owner of large sheep ranch in New
Mexico, and it is reported that he has
some notion of settling down for life
upon that investment. If the Prince
desires to become an American citizen
and reside in New Mexico, he will find
his position much more comfortable
than that he recently occupied in Bull
garia. He will not be required to abdi-
cate at unreasonable moments, or at
any time, and he may be elected sheriff
or representative, if he chooses to go
into politics. But, by the way, it is
high time we put stop to this thing of
European princes and CORDS owning
domains of land in this country, simply
because they can buy it with money
wrung from their tax-ridden and rent
burdened subjects and tenants. By
and by they or their descendants will
be using the money wrung from their
American tenants to buy land in South
America, to which our future citizens
will be emigrating to escape landlord
ism, just as the Irish are now coming
here to escape foreign landlordism.
The campaign in this state will be
| conducted differently from that of two
years ago in that there will be almost
no bombardment of voters by means of
| documents and pamphlets, and most of
the work will be done from the stump.
Chairman Taylor will complete his list
of speakers this week. He has sent out
a large number of letters to speakers in
this state. and their answers are expec-
ted within few days. They will then
be assigned. The Democratic list is
already partly made up. 1t is said
that Gabe Bouck will make one speech
| during the campaign. Postmaster
General Villas is expected to make but
one speech-in Milwaukee, October 9,
when G. M. Woodward will also speak
Senator Spooner, of Wisconsin, made
such a damaging report about the ex-
actions of the Washington Gas Com
pany at the last session of Congress
that the company has dropped its rate
to Sl.25 thousand cubic feet. Seua-
tor Spooner demonstrated that the COM
pany could furnish gas at 81 thousan
and then make per cent. on its nom
inal capital of S2,00O.O00. To 81 the
rate will probably be reduced next win
ter. There is nothing like having a
practical senator to bring out facts in
| such cases.
