Winter has already set in in France,
where the weather seems to be thick
ening for the. Government also. The
retaliatOry move against Germany, by
the decree demanding the registration
of foreigners, with a statement of their
business prospects and plans, was a
step backward. Free institutions are
safest when conducted on the " for
wards'' principle, and it is not only in
consistent, but injudicious for France
to adopt that manner of revanche"
on its neighbOrs.

A woman in Nebraska lately refused
to give in list of her property to a
German assessor. When called before
the commissioners she declared she
would not pay unless compelled, and
protested against a foreigner. who
could vote, being sent to assess a ma
tive-born American, who could have
no voice in declaring how the money
taken from her in taxes should be
spent. The prejudice against foreign
ers, as foreigners, is foolish and unjust ;
but this lady considered our naturali-
cation laws as quite lax that admit
men to vote long before they have be-
come socially and intellectually accli-
mated.

To Proud, Though Starving, to Ac-
cept Aid.

At the South St. Louis Station
of the st. Louis, Iron Mountain
and Southern Railroad the other night,
a young woman with a babe in her
arms, tOttered into the Waiting-room
and sank into a seat, wan and haggard
from exposure and want. The ticket
agent was Immediately interested, and
when the woman asked how far she
could ride for 40 cents he elected the
story of her woe. She had walked
from Cuba, Missouri, and was endeav-
Oring to reach Delassus, where her IA
ther, wealthy farmer lives. A few
years ago she was compelled by her
parents to marry a young lawyer,
though at the time she was betrothed
to a prosperous young farmer. Her
husband proved to be dissolute, and
finally deserted her. A purse was
made up at the depot, but the woman
refused to accept it, and burst into
tears at the idea of becoming an object
of charity. She was finally induced to
believe that her money would carry
her to Delassus, and the conductor of
the train was instructed to see that she
reached her old home in safety.

During the spring Of 1871, while working

Of poison oak, and in a few days my feet
were in terrible condition, and could not
put on a shoe because of the soreness and
swelling. l was treated as poison oak cases
usually are, and everything was healed up.
About the same time the following spring,
1872, my feet became sore again, as at first,
and every succeeding spring for five years
brought back the same condition of the dis
ease, only each tine it became more dis
tressing, because ] began to think it was a
lifetime trouble. Finally, was induced to
try Swift's Specific. took six bottles, and

Mr.. George sieman engaged himself
to marry Miss Mali Bernstein, of
Washington, and put up forfeit of
$500 that he would be on hand at the
time appointed. A few days before
the time set for the wedding gieman
discovered that he had the heart dis
ease and the rheumatism, and he told
his expectant father-in-law that if the
marriage contract was consummated
his daughter might soon be left wild
ow, and that, all things considered, he
thought it better that the wedding
should not take place. So the invita-
tions were called in, the expectant
groom remains a bachelor and the

pense her for the purchased trousseau

Mrs. Cleveland is having a pleasant
time atSaranac, but is suffering from a
cold which she caught in a peculiar
way. She has taken to rowing with
great enthusiasm, and has become
quite skillful with the car. A few
days ago she went out by herself in a
boat about 3 o'clock in the afternoon.
She had forgotten that the days have
grown shorter of late, and it was dark
before she returned to the inn. In at
tempting to land she missed her foot
ing and got wet up to her waist. For
tunately the house was only few
steps distant, and she suffered little in
convenience. But she is still very
hoarse.-NelU York World.

Upon Which Side7

That the population Of this country
grows apace uerybody knows, but not
everybody would have thought that in
tho city of Brooklyn alone, as the reg
istratiOn proves, there will be about
10000 more voters than there We're in
1884, and that in New York City there
will be an increase of about 27 600 In
the two cities there will be an addition
of 80, 900 to the voting list of this year,
and what honor that prophet would
have, even in his own country, who
could arise and say at this time what
proportion OF this new army of quail
fed citizens will, on the 9th of Novem-
ber. vote for the Republican candidates
and what proportion for the candidates
of the Democratic party. From now
until the returns shall be announced
on the night of the election, the atten-
tiOp Of the country will he centred
upon the State of New York, or, rather
upon that densely populated circle
drawn at distance Of five miles around
the City Hall of New York, as in that
contracted radius each party is looking
for a majority, on the one hand so large
on the other so small, as will give ii
the 36 electoral votes of the Empire
State, and so, perhaps, give the decd-
| ing vote to elect its candidate Pres
ident.
About the centre of our national
population is said to be indianapolis
but it is possible, as it was the actual
case in 1884, that the choice of Chief
Magistrate of the Republic may be de.
cided by that contracted fve-mile cir
Gle of which New York's City Hall i:
the centre. 1t is that possibility which
makes it so important just now tC
know how those $4,000 added voters OF
New York and Brooklyn will vote in

A Clothes-Basket Crib.

The incest kind of crib for new
born baby is a clothes basket! Get
the largest size of wicker clothes bas-
ket-a square one, with handles at
each end. Have a small hair mattress
made to fit the bottom of it, as hair is
much more wholesome to sleep on than
feathers, but, for a sudden emergency,
any ordinary pillow will answer the
purpose. This kind of crib has many
advantages. 1t can be put in a closet
when not in use it can be lifted into
another room without disturbing the
baby's sleep, if its mother should want
to receive guests before she is well
enough to leave her room it is very
convenient in moving to the country
in the summer, as it can be packed
with baby's clothes, covered with the
bath rubber sheet, and tied carefully
across with a rope; and on arrival
the baby wearied and tired-there
need be no waiting till the porter car
ries up the heavy crib. as any one can
carry up the basket; and there Is no
screwing together, but simply take of
the rubber sheet, and there baby has
its bed ready, and nurse can attend to
other things. In going across the
ocean it is invaluable, as, resting on its
broad base on the floor, no pitching OF
rolling of the ship will be able to upset
it. When baby gets too old to use it,
it can retire to It's natural hOme-the

To Assist Nature

IN restoring diseased or wasted tissue is
all that any medicine can do. In pull
monary affections, such as Colds, Bron-
chitis, and Consumption, the mucous
membrane first becomes inflamed, then
accumulations form in the air-cells of
the lungs, followed by tubercles, and,
finally, destruction of the tissue. 1t is
plain, therefore, that, until the hacking
cough is relieved, the bronchial tubes
can have no opportunity to heal.
