An Obstacle to Physical Wen Being.

Physicians rightly characterize con.
supation as an obstinate impediment
to the welfare of the body. The per-
fermance Of the more important func-
ton. such as digestion. hillary secretion
and an active circulation of the blood,
are interrupted by it in greater or less
degree: as the development of the COM
plant Is incipient or mature. Not al
once, OF course, but with reasonable
promptitude, Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers viii remove every symptom 70
which II gives rise, as well as the minor
mslad es that spriog from it, among
them indigestion and chronic bilious
ness. From drenching cathartics it is
vain to hove for permanent benefit, and
there are few purgstives that are not
violent and proiuse in their operation.

not go into society aud he becomes an
object Of disgust. After a time ulcera-
ton sets in, the spongy bones are at

fort is the dripping Of the puruient

In Russian Poland lady recently
became her own champion by fight
ing a duel with the man who had
calumniafed her. 1t appears he had
offered his hand, which she ha3 re-
fused. Stung by her rejection, he
set himself to spoil her good name
by spreading false reports about her.
Thereupon this plucky lady de-
clared that q duel alone could vindi-
cate her honor, and, refusing the
assistance OF several gentlemen who
were anxious to make her cause
their own, she invited her traducer
to "pistoIs for two and coffee for
one." Tuere was nothing for the
man to do but accep! the challenge.
and the combatants met in G place
outside Warsaw. Both missed their
aim. The lady proposed a second
shot. but the seconds declared that
full reparation had been made, and
she had to defer to their ruling.
As for her adversary, he was SO
moved by her masculine gallantry
that he rendered her formal and
simple apology on the spot. She
accepted it.

A Fruitful S5-Bill.

A little money sometimes goes q
great way. As al illustration of this
read the following, which an ex-
change says is founded upon an in
cident which really occurred:
A owed SIS to B; B owed $50 to
c; G owed SIS to D; D owed $50 to
E, E owed $3.50 to F; F owed $40
to A.
All of them were seated at the
same table.
A having S. note handed it to B,
remarking that it paid IS of the SIS
he owed B.
B passed the note to G with the
remark that it paid IS of the $50
which was duo him.
c passed it to D and paid with it
S. Of the SIS he owed D.
D handed it to E. in par; payment
of the $50 he owed him.
E gave it to f 10 apply On account
of the $l2 50 due him.
Fpassed 1t back to A s,yi iy," this
pays half the amount l owe you.
A again passed it TO B, saying 81
now owe you only So"
B again passed it 70 G, with the
remark, "this reduces my indebted
ness to you to SlO.'
G again passed it to D, reducing
his Indebtedness to So.
y passed it over to E, saying "
now owe you 500"
4 handed it again to Il, saying,
this reduces my indebtedness to

Again F handed the note to A,
saying, " Now I ont owe anything" "
A passed it Immediately to b, thus
cancellins the balance OF his indebt
.6dnesS 10 him.
B handed it to c, reducing his in
debtedYss to $5.
G cancelled the balance Of his debt
to D by handing the note to him.

Bob lngersOll's Prayer.

While listening 10 the great Rob
bert last Sunday evening, the idea
occurred 10 me that a fortune
awaited the man who could compose
a prayer that Robert could honestly
eniorse. l communicated my opin.
ion to our office devil, and he has
submitted the following:
90 Almighty dollar our acknowl-
edged governor, preserver and
benefacior, we desire to approach
thee, on this and every other oc.
casion, with that reverence which is
due superior excellence, and that
regard which should ever be cher
ished for exalted greatness. AL
mighty Dollar! without thee in the
world we can do nothing, but with
thee we can do all things. When
sickness lays it's palsying hand upon
US the tenderest OF nurses, the most
skillful physicians respond to thy
call, and when the last struggle
of mortality is over and we are
being borne to the last resting
place of the dead, thou canst
provide band of music aud O mill
tary escort to accompany us thither;
and last, but not least, erect q mag
nifcant monument over our graves,
with a lying epitaph to perpe'uate
our memories.
And while here, in the midst OF
temptations of this life, we perhaps
are accused of crime, and brought
before magistrates, though Almighty
Dollar canst secure to US a feed law
yer, 5rlbed judge, a paced jury.
and we go out scot free.
Be with US, we pray, in all thy
decimal parts, for we feel hat thou
art the one altogether lovely, and
the chiefest among ten thousands.
We feel there is no tue condition
in life where tiny potent and all
powerful charms are not felt. In
thy absence how gloomy is the
household, and how desplute the
hearthstone; but when thon, 0 AL
mighty Dollar, art with Us, how
gleefuily the beefsteak sing, on the
gridiron; how gentle the warmth
that Ignite coal or pine wood
dltfuses throus hout tho apartments,
aud what in exuberance o. JOY con
tinues to swell In every bosom.
Thou art tue joy Of your youth,
and the solace of old age. Thou
canst adorn the gentleman and thou
feedest the jackass. Thou art the
favorite of the philosopher and the
idol of the lunkhead. Where an
election is to be- carried. o Al
mighty Dollar. thou art the most
potent argument of politicians and
demagogues, and the umpire that
decides the contest. Amen.
For an opening ode he handed me
the following, which I submit for
Roberts approval:
All-powerful, thy shining face,
Bespeaks thy wondrous power;
In my pocket make thy resting place,
l need thee every hour.

Peck'S Sun on The Chinese.

Geo. W. Peck, the funny editor of
PecRs Sun, has been Oh a visit to
California, and in a letter to his pa.
per on the Chinese question says:
" AS it is now, the laborer of an
Eastern city pays out 80 per cent. of
what he earns for food, clothing for
himself aud family, for amusement,
instruction, etc., and the money is
Kept in circulation; and everybody
who helps circulate that money is
happy, including the laborer. The
Cinnamon has no children, eats no
food except of his employer, if he
has work, and if he has to buy food,
he buys it of the company or their
agent. He brings to this country q
hat, an outer garment like shirt,
and shoes. He can pick up enough
under garments to wear under that
blue shirt to keep him warm, end
his shoes last forever, or he whittles
II new pair out of a piece of clapboard,
which he can steal. So he has no
outlay and practically every dollar
he earns is thrown into the Pacific
Ocean, SO FAR as its ever doing any
more good i'll this country is con-
cerned, and this State feels it sadly.
and hence the cry against Cinnamon.
1t Is not really cry against cheap
Chinese labor, for Heaven knows
that nothing q Chinaman does is
cheap. The cry is against an alien,
who Is but little, if any, above an
animal, earning money aud practical
ly destroying it. The Cninaman does
no good on earth to anybody. He
is no society for anybody, and hates
everybody most intensely, looking
upon white people as geese to be
plucked. They never buy property,
have nothing taxable, and have no
friends except a few fanatics who
thinks Cinnamon have souls to save.
If they have souls to save, they will
never be saved by the efforts of mis-
sionaries, for the Chinaman makes
the missionary his laughing stock.
A Chinaman thinks be will go to
hell if he goes back OH his idols, and
though he may seem to drink in the
words of the missionary, it all runs
off of him like water off of a duck,
and he laughs at the missionary for
his pains. The Chiuaman, on
this coast, except in rare cases, has
no more intelligence than parrot.
His face is give-away as far as in :
telligence is concerned. He looks
hungry, as though his liver were out
Of order. He Is like an Egyptian
mummy with the breath Of life blown
into him. You see him driving q
mule. plowing in vineyard, and
you believe the mule knows the most,
and wonder why the mule does not
drive the Chlnaman. You see him
spading up ground, and it actually
seems as though if you had to choose
between the Chinaman and tho spade
for companion, you would choose
the spade.

A DEADLY TUNNEL. dangers
of deficient ventilation have re-
ipeatedly been shown in the Mount
Cents tunnel. The ordinary freight
train leaving Modane at 8 P. NJ, the
21st day of December, was observed
to come to a standstill at about two
miles from the mouth of the tunnel,
and did not start again. The con-
ductor of the freight train coming
from the opposite direction was in
formed of the fact, and when com.
ing up to the standing train he
found the trainmen on the latter in
a dead stupor. They were taken of
and transported with all possible
speed to Baedonechia, where all of
them soon revived. A similar acci-
dent happened in the same tunnel
only seven weeks before, and both
are ascribed to the bad air in the
tunnel, which cannot ventilate itself
like the St. Gothard tunnel. Luck.
lily, no such accidents have befallen
passenger trains, the reason fol
which may be sought in their more
rapid motion.

MOST sALUTARY INFLUENCE
In the settlement of disputes be-
tween conflicting interests. InJuly,
1884, by Jaw of Congress, the bu.
reau of labor was established and
placed in charge of q commissioner
of labor, who is required to collect
all the information on the subject of
labor. it's relations with capital, the
hours of labor and the earnings of
laborine men and women, and the
means to promote their material,
social. intellectual neral prosperity.
The commission which is suggested
could easily be engrafted on the bu-
reau that is already organized, by
the addition of two more commission
ers and by supplementing the duties
now imposed on it by such other
powers and functions as would per-
NIT the commissioners to act as
arbitrators, when necessary, between
labor and capital, under such limit
ations and upon such occasions as
should be deemed proper and useful.
Power should also be distinctly con-
ferred on this bureau to investigate
causes of all disputes as they occur
whether submitted for arbitration or
not, so that the information may al
ways be at hand to aid legislation on
the subject when necessary and de-
sired. GROVER CLEVELAND.
