THE APPEAL FOR 1885.

The Appeal enters upon its forty-sitxh year
ripe in the experiences of the past, and full Of
hope for future for the whole country, but
especially for this and the neighboring States,
that shall surpass the dreams of the most
sanguine Of the early settlers. All the ques-
tons growing out of slavery, and which left
the North and South divided for near three
generations, have been settled, and the States
have adjusted themselves to the new condi-
tons in spirit oil unity, peace and concord.
There are, therefore, no issues before the
country that are not common to all the peo-
pie, and that are not of an economical and
national character. There are no questions
before the National Legislature that do equal
" effect the interest Of all the States and that
canuo, be discussed from basis of personal
welfare by the citizens of all OF them. For
the future, therefore, legislation, both nation
al and State, is to be Of business character.
and is, for that reason, to come home closer
and closer to the individual citizen. Personal
politics is, with the bosses, to be relocated to
the past, and civil service reform is to secure
to the country honesty, efficiency and indus
try in public places. The political outlook is
all that could be desired. President Cleve-
land has made an abiding impression upon
the country, and at she end of his adminis;ra-
ton will have reconciled even his political
opponents to a continuance of Democratic
sscendency. There is nothing to hinder or
retard the progress of the country. All the
available lands Of the West taken up, the
South must for many years be the favored
section Of enterprisng immigrants, and its
coal and iron fields invite capitalists from the
exhausted mineral lands Of the North and
West. A rapid and great increase Of manu-
features must follow, and this will necessitate
an increase of railroads and corresponding
increase of our laboring population. The
Appeal, the pioneer in the journalistic field OF
the Southwest, always in sympathy with the
people, will be found during the year just
born as full Of enterprise as in the past, and
animated only by the desire to keep the lead
and prompt its readers as to the increasing
advantages Of our soil and climate and geo.
graphical situation. To accomplish this no
expense will be spared. We shall continue
to make most liberal use of the telegraph,
and thus keep orr readers informed Of the
| advance Of the world, day by day, as fast as
developments in any deportmen, Of human
effort are made public. We shalt endeavor
to keep the Appeal up to its now high stand
ard as newspaper and leader of public
opinion, and SO continue TO deserve the so
far mistaken conhdenc. Of constituency
that is strongest outside Of Tennessee, in
Mississippi, Arkansas and Alabama.

HAY FEVER.

This malady is an index of a condition
of the system which should be thoroughly
changed. That this is possible is shown
by many letters from patients. The fol-
lowing Is an example:
From Rev. I. j. Taylor, Warrenton,
N. c., Oct, q, 1ss5.-"Some time in Aug
ust ordered Treatment of Oxygen for
nay aunt. She had suffered with hay fever
regularly every year for fifteen years.
When l ordered the Compound Oxygen
her annual attack of hay fever had already
commenced, and as you did not promise
relief after the commencement of the
attack, we were not very hopeful. But to
our astonishmept and jov the Oxygen re-
lieved her at once, and only on one even
ing after she commenced the Treatment
and then only for few hours, did she
have any considerable trouble with her
hay fever. Though she really had hay
fever, 1t was SO slight after she COM
menced using the Oxygen, that she was
scarcely conscious of it. l do not know
what Compound Oxygen will do for hay
fever in general, but this case of fifteen
gears standing scas mastered by 1t. You
are at liberty to use this in any way you
may see proper for the good of hay fever
victims. l believe it will cure hay fever.
1t did in this case at any rate"

Fever which is sent free to all interested.

PERILs OF INFANcy

Doctor, why is it that somany children
die before the age of yearsf
The subject is complex one, and in
its analysis we have to consider not only
the various conditions surrounding the
infant, but the still more important one of
the latent tendency to disease. The
fashionable mother, the self indulgent
father, hand down to their children over
wrought nervous systems and weak
physical powers, which result in early
death, or more often life of protracted
feebleness. Very little of the common
sense which is exercised in the rearing
and preserving of choice stock exists in
relation TO the human animal. 1t would
require too long a time to enter into all
the questions of heredity which influence
the fate of the child. They are, however,
of vital Importance both to the individual
and to the race. That the race is gaining
in intellectual capacity is an undoubted
fact; but we are losing just as much or
more in physical power. We see no such
robust forms, such perfect development of
the muscular system "a existed fifty years
ago. We are breeding children in and in,
and every generation will witness smaller
and smaller infants, who will at the same
time have more delicate nervous organ
lsms, and, as result, more nervous dis
eases. Add to this the enervating enyi-
ronment the houses, the sleeping apart
ments, the nurses and attendants who
easily imagine the result in the feebleness
of the infant"
"Gil Bias writes: MY troubles com
menced just nine months before l was
born, and the same assertion may be
made of the children of to-day. Sor
healthy, strong offspring, there must be
healthy, strong parents. The peril of the
child lies not so much in the adverse con-
ditions of it's life as in it's incapability to
withstand them, and this is due in a great
measure to the physi condition of its
parents during CESSATION"
but, doctor, may not something be
done to remedy this weakness in the
parentsH
"Much. If parents will understand that
upon the integrity and strength of their
nervous system depend the health and
life of their infants, aud at the same time
add to their own happiness, the result
will be less mortality and less sickness of
their infants"
what will best strengthen feeble,
nervous systemH
Fresh air, exercise, less struggle for
fashionable or social distinction, and a
careful attention to the food or drink
which supplies the elements of nerve
force. Ii the system has notpower enough
at first to eliminate these from food, then
they may be taken as medicine. And
since we know upon what the nervous
system depends for strength, the combi-
nation of phosphorus, albumen, protagon,
etc., known as DUJARDIN' s LIFE ESSENCE,
will furnish the material in proper
form for absorption, and even for feeble
children there can be no better remedy"

Electric Rat Cremation.

A rat, while attempting to escape from
human enemies in the electric light
station in Reading, Pa, few weeks
ago, jumped directly to the floor on to
one of the brushes and WAS thrown back
to the ground. He lay motionless, ap-
parently and certainly dead. but with
out even hair burned. One of the en-
ployes was sent with a shovel to gather
it up, but as soon as the shovel touched
it the rat fell to dust, with little cloud
of particles rising from the place where
its body had seemingly lain. There wa

ICELAND IN SUMNER.
A Cool Spot For American Warm Weather
Tourists.

Tourists.
Holiday-makers who are at loss
where to go to insure cool spot, may,
perhaps, be tempted to try Iceland. 1t
is not necessarily cool there, notwith-
standing the refreshing sound of the
name, but it is a good deal less likely to
be hot than Swiss or even Scotch val
leys, and there is good deal more to
see that would be fresh to the visitor.
Nor is the island by any means difficult
to get at. The Danish royal mail steam
ers make amonthly voyage from Copen-
hagen to Reykjavik, and five of them
rHn all round the island, as well as call
ing on each voyage at Leith. There is
also an English line during the summer
from Leith to Reykjavik. Iceland is by
no means the diminutjve country which
people who do not look at large maps
are in danger of supposing it to be,
when they read that the popu-
lation does not exceed that of
third-rate English town. 1t is
possible to travel from east to west in q
direct line for a greater distance than
from London to Carlisle, so that the
island is really of very respectable di-
mansions. Nor are the people, remote
as is their dwelling-place from the GEN.
tiers of sweetness and light, by any
means an uncultured race. They have
had parliament of their own-the AL
thing-for now nearly one thousand
years, and they are great deal better
instructed than European populations
generally.
The ordinary cockney tourist would
hardly find himself at home among
them; but an intelligent observer, inter
ested in the study of nature and in the
ways Of isolated communities, might
really do much worse during the sum-
mer months than brace himself up for
the winter by week or two in Iceland
Fishing and farming are the Icelander's
principal pursuits, and fishing is more
important, perhaps, than farming
in the country, and trade is so little de-
veloped that up to last year the
island did not even possess a
bank, though the Althing was serious
ly occupying itself with the establish
ment of such an institution. Some in
teresting information on Icelandic fish
cries is contained in the last report pre-
sented to Foreign Office by Mr.. Consul
Paterson. The Iceland fisherman's
best customers are not his comparative
ly near neighbors-he has no neighbors
at all but the Greenlanders, within six
hundred miles-but the Spaniards. A
good deal of the fish caught goes to
Copenhagen, but more to Spain, and
Spain gets the pick of the catches
Wheat-growing is no part of the Ice
land farmers industry. For that the
climate is not warm enough. He breeds
flocks and herds, and during his short
summer is much concerned for the re-
suits of his hay harvest. These, last
year, were not satisfactory in the south
ern part of the land, owing to the oc-
currence of wet weather late in the sum-
mer. A further reduction of live stock
was the consequence of the scarcity of
fodder. In the north, however, the hay
crop was good, and the farming inter
est there is fairly prosperous.-N. W.
