Why He May Possibly Prove to BE the
Man of the Hour.
The increasing entries for the June
meeting at Chicago confuse the proph-
cts. They are not now prepared to
name any favorite, but incline more
and more to look for the triumph of
the dark horse, whose identity they
can not guess. much less establish.
In casting about for competent
person to fill an important station ex-
perience for the work is regarded as a
prime qualification. 1t is Mr.. Cleve-
lands continuing experience that COM
mends him to the good will of his
party. The only ether man expert
enced in the President business now
available is R. B. Hayes, of Fremont,
o. He is the one living ex-President.
His lines have fallen in pleasant places.
The tranquil obscurity he now enjoys
suits a placid temper. and he might
not be willing to enter again into the
stirring activities and encounter the
bitter animosities of hot campaign.
He has written no letter of declina-
ton. The situation does not seem to
demand that. But he is man ready
always to respond to the calls of duty.
The voice of convention must be to
him the voice of God calling another
Cincinnatus from his poultry yard.
The man for the hour might be
Rutherford. But this time it would be
absolutely necessary for the party to
elect him as condition precedent to
his tenancy of the White House. The

oHlo.s GREAT ICEBERG.

Cold from the northward comes hither the
boom of John Sherman;
This is the Frost Kings particular darling
and hero.
All other boomlets are helplessly lickin' and
squirmln'
What can they do with the mercury quite
down to zero?
Solemn and grand as an iceberg o'ertopping
Snow-covered. cavernous, wholly majestic
and mystic
Seeming above or outside Of all human emo
ton
Such is the boom of John Sherman, the pale
ocrystic.
Fierce as the blizzard that sweeps DER the
plans of Dakota,
Quite as unwelcome, it makes us all huddle
and SILVER;
Hard the cold OF the wild woods OF North
Minnesota,
Freezing the brook to solidity. bridging the
river.
Wise as an oracle born of the Gre eks or Chal-
deans.
Calling aloud for count that is honest and
Hayesy,
Sherman unfurls the white flag to the dear
Tennesseans,
Waving the bloody shirt then with a vim that
is crazy.
Always wherever he travels from Nashville to
Kingston.
Freezing the leaves that are dead and the
blooms that are faded,
Over him hovers the shade of Eliza de Pinks-
ton,
With him abides the dark stain of the Fraud
that he aided
Say, will this iceberg melt wholly before July
weather,
Sinking at last in the sea where it sought
domination?
Or will John Sherman's and other booms per-
ish together,
Giving some boomless unknown the desired
nomination?

knew his speech would be offensive to
Northern and Southern Democrats in
Senate and House, and that it would
perhaps embitter them against the bill
to such an extent as to jeopardize or
defeat its ena ctment. Yet, conscious OF
this-and he must have been conscious
of it, inasmuch as he is not fool-he
deliberately pursued a course calcu-
lated to accomplish the very thing he
professed to desire to avoid. Why did
Mr.. Ingalls, do this? Simply because
he wished to create an issue which he
hoped would be helpful to the Repub-
lican party. He fancied that if
by insulting and angering them
he could only goad the DEM
ocrats into defeating the bill,
the Republicans would then have a
basis on which to ground an appeal
for the support of all those who fought
in the Union army. He would subject
the helpless veterans to indefinite i'm
poverishment and suffering for the
sake of an advantage to the political
| organization to which he owes his
present official position and upon
which he depends for still higher hon
ors. Is it any exaggeration to say
| that this man is the enemy and not the
friend OF the soldier? He pretends to
favor the bill. yet hopes for its defeat.
He pleads for the veteran, yet adopts a
| policy which he must know will in
sure denial of the veterans demand.
He hypocriticaily asks Congress to do
the very thing which he doesn't
want it to do. Professions of
love for the veterans are on his
lips, but sympathy with the crippled
old heroes is not in his heart Ingalls,
is brilliant, but his brilliancy doesn't
blind the public to the fact that he is
deficient in craftsmanship and sim
cerity. If he thinks he is deceiving
| the soldiers into the belief that he is
their champion and fitted to wear the
mantle of Logan, he is deceiving him
self. A client anxious to win his case
would form a very uncomplimentary
estimate of the skill, the judgment
and the honesty of his attorney, if the
latter, when making an argument to
the jury, should insult some of the
members of that body, and thus
prejudice them against both him and
his cause. This is the sort of law
yer the soldiers have in Senator In
gals. He is an injury to them instead
of help. -Dubuque (Ia.) Telegraph.

Preparing a Nerve skeleton.

One of the most interesting features of
the convention of state homeopathic
physicians is the completion by DIR. r.
B. Weaver, demonstrator of anatomy at
the Homeopathic college, of a piece of
work which has occupied his close at
tention for six months. 1t is a complete
expose of all the nerves of the human
body, exactly in the position they occupy
during life. Some idea can be formed
of the labor involved when it is remem-
bered that the human body contains up
ward Of a million nerves of various sorts.
DR.. Weaver, who lately travelled in
Europe, was struck with the want of
some specimen of anatomy showing the
nerves only. Procuring the body of a
colored woman, who had died in a very
emaciated condition, DR.. Weaver, work
ing ten hours a day for upward of six
months, and chiseling the bones away
piece by piece, managed to get what he
wanted. As seen the other day, the
figure, pinned to a blackboard in a pol
ished frame, looked at a distance like a
very delicate drawing in white of the
nerves of the human figure. A close in
spection, however, revealed the fact that
the delicate lines were really nerves,
some as delicate and fine as silk. The
dura mater of the skull and backbone are
retained and also the eyes. The nerves
Of the spinal cord are so fine and so close
together that a very fine needle had to be
used to separate them. Portions of the
skin are also preserved, but every particle
of bone and tissue has been removed

A most astounding revelation has come
to those who have been confidently trust
ing to appliances for purifying their
drinking water. 1t seems that the
ordinary filter, instead of rendering the
water pure and safe, is actually the
means of producing just the opposite re-
suit. The Rhode Island Medical society,
through DR.. Swarts, shows that some
filters when first used do remove a pro-
portion of disease germs. But after be-
ing in use only a few days there is q
marked increase in the number of col
onies of germs in the filtered as COM
pared with the unfiltered water. In one
instance the unfiltered water showed the
presence of t~hirty-six colonies, while the
filtered contained the number
of 1000, 1900, 5000, and even more.
That is, the poison caught up by the
filter the first few days becomes the
source of a vast multiplication of the
dangerous element. So look to your
precautions, and then be ON your guard.
If you cannot constantly cleanse your
filters you had better destroy them

n1ist1etoe on Telegraph Wires.

A traveller in Brazil writes to a hort.
cultural paper telling of the crop of mis-
tletoe hat he found growing on tele
graph wires near Rio Janeiro. When he
first saw it he thought hat floods had
left weeds hanging to the wires, but a
nearer inspection and the height of the
wires convinced him that the apparent
weeds were thousands of little mistletoes
firmly fixed to the wires. Many species
of this plant grow in Brazil, and some,
called ''bird weeds" bear berries which
are eaten by birds. The seeds are de-
posted on the telegraph wires and take
root. They are short lived, of course,
but the constant deposits of seed clothe
the wires with this curious fringe.-New
York Sun.

Health Hints for women.

AS nights grow cooler all women who
are in the least rheumatic or chilly should
sleep in blanket wraps over the night
gown, preventing aches and colds caught
by tossing the arms over the head, as
well as the loss of sleep that often comes
of disturbed circulation. People who use
their brains habitually, teachers, writers,
artists, must keep warm as the saving of
their abilities. They must have fires
early, and use footwarmers by day and
night, and dress like Esquimaux if neces-
sary, or congestion of the brain or lungs
is the penalty. The Inflammation of the
lungs which carried off George Eliot and
Mrs. Browning was descended from the
.ehilliness- andLpoor circulation which
these brain workers had borne for years.
Care must be taken, with all this heat
ing, to have a current of warm, fresh air
circulating in the rooms and to have it
healthily moist. Such precautions give
a soft and lovely complexion, equal to the
famous Newport bloom. The best way to
secure this constant ventilation without
draft is by having the top of the window
fitted with a perforated board, pierced by
many conical borings, only a quarter as
wide at the center as at each surface of
the hole, This gives a fine, forcible play
of minute currents through the room in
stead of a dangerous large draught. 1t is
awoman's invention, and a very clever one
for keeping rooms perfectly healthy and
fresh. 1t is a little remarkable that a plain
American woman should nave worked
out a plan of cheap, efficient ventilation
on the same principles as the French in
vention which drew the applause of
scientific men years later.
To keep the air moist the simplest way
is to keep a pan of water in the heat reg
lister, with a large sponge in it, or a wet
towel hung with ends in the water, Civ
ing off moisture to the air which floats
over it. Pans of water alone do very
little good, though better than nothing.
The moisture must be directly in the
path Of the air to be absorbed by it. The
water a N for stoves should be large
enough to cover the whole top and be
kept clean and full of fresh water. Such
water pans purify the air as well as keep
it moist, as they absorb impurity. A
little inter, iodine and salt in the water is
very strengthening to breathe, having a
mild effect of sea air.-Shirley Dare's
Letter.
