No Need for b u
From the Jefferson City Tribune.


THERE is a great amount of unnec-
essary wrangling going on in the
State over who will be nominated
for governor in 1888. Ie is very
improper to encourage S spirit OF
abuse, which some r SO anxious
to maintain. 1t is safe to say now
that a good man will be nominated,
and it is entirely out of place to
now create a spirit of discord,
which under no circumstances
should exist. Personal abuse
should never be INDUCED in by
men of the same party. 1t is best
to even avoid such a course be-
tween political contestants of a
different party.

The New Railroads Prospects

In speaking of the conference be-
tween the officials of the Missouri

aid says:
Messrs. Lathrop, Fudge, House
and McCreery, of the Springfield &
Hannibal, were in this place last
Saturday, and, while here, met Col.
Hayward, of whom they proposed
to buy whatever rights the COM
pany or companies he represented
might possess in any road-beds,
terminal facilities or surveys be-
tween Hannibal and Mexico, but
Col. Hayward in turn declined and
proposed to allow the use of what
eyer right of way he possessed
provided Missouri Central trains
would be permitted traffic privil-
eyes over the road. But this was
declined in turn, and the Colonel
informed that the Hannibal &
Springfield would be built anyhow!
Whereupon the parties, after inter
changing mutual expressions OF

Hslplng the kight Side.

To help the right side is not only com
mendable in general point of view, but
is judicious and prudent when that help
is enlisted in behalf OF the right side of
the body. Just over the lower ribs in the
region of the liver. The most efficient
help is afforded by Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, an anti-biIious medicine of in
comparable efficacy. lnaction OF the
liver is accompanied by constipation, sick
headache. fHrred tongue, nausea, occa-
sional vertigo, an unpleasant breath, yell
lowness of the skin and ball of the eye.
The author of these symptoms, liver
complaint, routed by the bitters is accom-
panied by them in its flight. Fever and
ague, which always involve the liver,
dyspepsia, rheumatism, debility and kid
nev troubles are all maladies to the early
relief and final cure of which this standard
medicine is adapted. Don't use it by fts
and starts, but Systematically, that its
full effects may result in perfect resto-
ration of health.

But the most important of all the icons,
and the most venerated, is the lberian Mother,
which was brought from Mount Athos III the
time of the Gar Alexis, about the middle of
the Seventeenth century. The Iberian Mother
sits in the midst of gods and pearls, and, like
all Russian saints, has dark l'rnwn complex
ion. Round her head is "a net of p, arls, on one
shoulder large jewel, another i her brow,
above which is brilliant crown. Around
the picture are gold brocaded hangngs, on

cheek of the mother was inflicted by the
Turks, and scarcely had tho steel touched
the picture when the blood flowed. This is
represented in every copy. At all hours of
the day there are people prostrating them
selves before this icon, and the Virgins hand
and Child's foot have been kissed SO often
that, to quote traveller, ''it is no longer the
hand and foot that are kissed, but the con-
crete breath of the pious." The devotion of
the emporer to this venerated icon is really

FROM THE CZAR'S LAND.
IMAGES OF SAINTS HANGING IN NEW
YORK BOUDOIRS.

New York Bellies Craze for Everything
Russian-What Icons Are-Am object
of Great Religious observation-disclosures
of Curious Design.
With the craze for everything Russian the
New York bellies have taken to adorniug
their boudoirs with Russian icons, and hang
ing lamps before them that are generally
kept lighted. To the uninitiated it is well to
explain that icons are pictures of the Virgin
and child and the saints. They abound
everywhere in Russia, from the palace to the
howell and are treated with extraordinary
veneration. The Russians, not being allowed
to worship craven images, paint a picture of
the saint or Madonna on wood or canvas, and
then place over it what might be culle'l a
screen of silver or brass, nodded or engraved
to represent tho clothing. Holes are left so
that the painted faces and hands show
through, and where the Christ child is repre-
sented his feet are also seen. Full length fig
ures of the saints are permitted, but only IA
half length figure of the Virgin, and nude or
ncompletely draped figures are forbidden.
In the Cathedral of the Assumption, in the
kremlin, in which all the cars were crowned,
is the Nladimirski Mother, which is attrib
uted to St Luke, 1t is supposed to have
saved Russia from the Tartars, and is adorned
with jewels valued at $225, 900 The face of
the Mother is a very sweet one and the face,
and one hand of the Child are seen. This was
deposited in the most sacred of Russian cathe
drals, represents exactly the side of an an
cient palladium, and copy of it adOrns the
