To the Editor Of he Re eis.er:
SIR:-A corresp ond.nt in the Intelligent
Ger of this morning, in speaking of the ten
bets $500, says the proposer OF tte'e bets
is a shrewd msn and kuowns what he is
iii1g. He further says that the manner
and order in which the bats are offered
elbows want of faith in his (the propoer's)
faith rs to the success Of hi, party. No
fsirer beta Couli bs offered Republicans if
they have any faith in the tucc sss Of their
National, State and Congressional tickets.
They say Golf will certainly be elected
Governor Of West Virgins ia November;
thsy say Gen. Fix will beat Congr essman
Wilton; they say Atkinson will beat Pen
dleton; they say that the Legislature will
be Republican,; they say that Harrison will
be elected. II Harrison should be cleo: ed
New York and some of the other doubtful
S.stes will vote for him. Now, if X pub
licaus teiave these tfi,gs, the bets p.o-
posed stand ASSURE to thu Republican
that takes them. He rdns no risk what
ever.
The trte is krown By tie fruit it bears.

& eleSs IL is true. The questions which
precipitsted il are settled-Settled by ar
bitrament Of arms and there is no appeal.
To-day there is another great question b.
fore the people. You will all remember
that when the war began tie Democratic
psrty insisted that if the country should
be saved it should be all slave. The r.
publican party at first wanted to save the
country without regard to slavery: halt
slave and half free if necessary. IL was
ooly when Abraham Lincoln brought
down bii hand aud said, By the grace Of
God il this nation is saved it win be saved
all free, that the god of battles
hegsn TO lock with favor on the
I'm o srms, and the country was saved.
Aud so in this contest to-day. The Pro.
hIb;tlon party is engaged ii battle to
save the Uoion again, from dsepotism
thousand times worse than toe dtspotism
of slavery. But you, my Republican
iIi=Rds, sIe starting out just Is you did
years ago. You are going to
save it half drunk and half sober. The
Democratic party wants to save it all
drunk. Bat we ssy: this nation shall be
saved all ioSer, or 1t will Fever be saved
at all.
Now let me ask you what are the issues
upon which tie Republican and Demo
cratic parties divide to-day? Ifyou have
no is uss why do you liyeand cucumber the
political stage? 1t is said that the tariff
is an issue. 1t is not, my friends. It
might have been once. The Democratic
party declares for revision ard reduc-
lion of the tariff. The Republican party

RELIABLE HINTS FOR GOOD
HEALTH.

The best blood purifier known to
the medical profession is the follow
ing: l. Plenty of cold water additions;
that is, every morning of the year take
a cold water sponge bath over the
whole body, followed by vigorous rub
bling with a coarse towel, using quick,
brisk action, the whole process not
taking more than three minutes time.
In dressing, wear flannel next to the
skin throughout the year. 2. Eat
plenty of plain, nourishing food, plenty
of rare beef and mutton, partaking
freely of fruits, fresh or stewed, and
of vegetables, particularly the summer
vegetables, as being more digestible;
ignore artificial sweets Of all kinds,
pies, hot buildings, pastries, heavy
preserves, etc. 3. Plenty Of outdoor
exercise every day; take good, long
walks, not to over-fatigue, however;
plenty of fresh air and sunshine; plenty
of ventilation to your house and
rooms at all times, day and night. Let
the fresh air into your sleeping-room
at night, in winter as we'll as summer,
and see to it in every way that you
breathe pure oxygen every hour out
of the twenty-four, instead of carbon
~ic-acid-gas poison. Take plenty Of
sleep and at regular hours, and strictly
avoid alcoholic drinks and tobacco in
any form.
"These four (daily cold water bath
ing, good food, fresh air and exercise)
form together the only specific blood
purifier known. Medicines, drugs and
herbs will not alone purify the blood.
The most they can do is sometimes to
assist nature in making a start on the
right road."-IHe Farm and Eresade.

WHEN A MAN WEIGHS MOST.

According to experiments carried
out by the Belgian savant, Quetelet, a
man attains has maximum weight to-
ward his 10th year, and begins to lose
it sensibly toward his Goth year. A
woman, however, does not attain her
maximum weight until her 5Oth year.
The age at which people attain their
maximum weight and the weight itself
differ in the different classes Of society.
In the afluent classes the average
maximum weight is l72 pounds, and
is attained at so years of age. In the
artisan class it is l54 pounds, attained
at 40. Among farm laborers it is III
pounds, attained at 60. In the gen
eral CLASSES it is l64 pounds, and is
reached between 40 and SO years of
age.-Chacago tribune.

PURIFICATION OF DRINKING
WATER.

The use of alum to clear muddy
water has long been known, but Pro-
lessor Leeds, in the course Of an in
vestigation on an outbreak of typhoid
fever at Mount Holly, N. j., discov-
cred another value in it's use which
may be very important. He fount
that the water which was supplied to
the inhabitants of Mount Holly was
swarming with bacteria, about fifteen
props being capable of forming $500
colonies of these microscopic germs
when spread upon a suitable surface.
He tried the experiment of adding a
minute amount of alum to this water
in the proportion of only half a grain
to a gallon, and found that not only
was the dirt and coloring matter pre-
cipitated, but that instead of the same
quantity of water containing s, 100 col
onies of bacteria, it contained only 80,
and these were all of a large form.
On filtering the water through two
thicknesses of iltering paper he found
that the filtered water contained no
bacteria, but was Gas sterile as if it
had been subject to prolonged boil
ing" This amount Of alum is too
small to be evident to the taste, and is
not harmful to the health. If his OBJ
servations shall remain unrefuted, they
may form a valuable method of puri-
flying polluted drinking water.-New
York Post.

THE WINDING RIVER

Beneath the quaint old bridge you hear
TIL waves make music as they pass:
And winding to the elm tree near,
You see the pathway through the grass
Where we were won't to walk, alas
The river wanders as of Ole
Beneath the shade of willow trees;
The sunlit waters CLEAN like gold,
And ripple to the gentle breeze;
But am far from thee and these
The sky bends over, broad and blue,
And in the soft and mellow light
You tread the lane our footsteps knew
In former times, when days were bright;
Do these days bring such sweet delight ?
And still that lane with grass is green,
With fragrant flowers the banks are fair;
In golden gloss and silver sheen
Thu bees still haunt the balmy air;
But you will fail to find me there.
Again. perchance, 1 may not see
The rustling rows of willow trees
(Which lent a leafy canopy
When we stroll underneath at easel;
For / am far from thee and these.
Our joys forsake us. Soon does spring
Pass by and for the summer call;
Soon do the birds lose heart to sing,
When fading leaves in autumn fall:
And winter is the end of all.
