CIInging 20 the Inst.

The virus of rheumatism often remains
in the system through life when it does
not cut the thread of existence suddenly,
as it is always liable to do by attacking
the heart. Ere the grip Of this tenacious
disease tightens, it should be Embossed by
that benefcent liberator from disease,
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which will
free the sufferer at the outset from subse-
nuent pain and danger. No purer or
more agreeable blood depurent exists, as
multitudes of the rheumatic and neural
gic have aseertained by certified expert
ence. It is through the medium of a reg
ular action of the kidneys and bladder
that an outlet is afforded for the escape
Of impurities which beget not only rheu.
matte, but equity ailments and dropsical
illusions. To these organs the Bitters
give an impulse, never verging on the
bounds of irritation, but sufficiently vigor-
GUS to cause them and the bowels to per-
form their functions with clock. like pre-
cision. Use it also for dyspepsia, bilious
ness, fever and ague and debility.

THE CHICAGO MIDDLE.

Whether or not v%aulting ambition in
the person OF Mr.. Blaine has overreached
itself is a question which now palpitates
with interest. People are beginning to
realize that notwithstanding all p~rotesta.
tions to the contrary the man from Maine
has not simply been a sub rosa candidate
for re nomination. but that he has been
at the bottom of a deep laid scheme to
defeat the popular wish, if such was nee
essary, in the accomplishment of his
selfish purposes.
The ambiguity of his first letter OF al
legged declination. the interview in which
he throws down for his party the gaunt-
let of high protection in answer to Presi-
dent Cleveland message, and the final
Florence letter in which he u~nequivocally
%nou his withdrawal, while yet free
in certain contingencies to accept the nom
nation, in the light of subsequent events
show clearly the evidence of deep design
AMI well settled purpose From the very
first the methods pursued nave been those
of an astute politician deeply skilled in all
the devious ways of the worldly, rather
than the manners of a statesman
looking from the broad standpoint OF
principle. Trickery and duplicity,
disguised and .suga coated into other
semblances, have been the Archimedean
levers which moved the puppets.
There have been several good men up
before the republican convention for nom
ination-men who in all the essentials of
true manhood were the superiors of Mr..
Blaine. In order hat his party might
finally be brought to his feet and force
him to accept a nomination he had all
along really coveted, the field was appar-
emily freely thrown open for every ~favorite
son who presented himself. None of
them were wanted, however, and while
they struggled in the most generous
rivalry for the prize the Blaine managers
saw to it that none of them reached even
within hailing distance of the goal OF their
ambitions. Gresham was first sacrificed,
then Sherman and finally Harrison was
brought down with a dull thud.
Dul mcdlLiulc tuc hcluDtIS VI tuc Cuu-
vention discovered that they were really
being used as catspaws and that while
they were apparently acting as free agents
they were in reality being manipulated for
private ends. When Harrison had the
nomination within his grasp Friday even
ing a speedy ADJOURNMENT was secured to
prevent that consummation. lndigna-
ton is rapidly taking the place of enthus-
iasm in many quarters. No matter who
may now be nominated the result can no
longer arouse genuine enthusiasm and dis
satisfaction must be manifested. Blaine
can undoubtedly secure the prize by
a bare majority even now, but like Dead
Sea it will turn To ashesin his grasp. His
ambition has overleaped itself, and next
November's contest is practically settled
now, no matter who may be the Republi-
can standard bearer.
Democrats can now afford to look upon
the Chicago circus with perfect 'equanimi-
ty, Indifferent as to Its results, and feeling
only a negative interest in its outcome.
The motto with the boomers has been
Blaine or bust; it may now be both.

WrTH becoming modesty we reproduce
~thehppended tribute from the columns of
the Bpening Tribune: THE LEADER
deserves credit for printing the fullest and
best report of the proceedings of the Chi
cage convention. Though it is q Demo-
cratic organ, it eclipses its Republican
contemporary in giving news of para
mount interest to Republicans. If the
Tribune was the recognized party organ
of the Republicans it would print the full
report or 20 broke trying, AS it is not,
and as it issues in the afternoon, it is not
expected by the public to give a full ac-
count of the proceedings of the same
day."

The pelasiOns of Hemp Eater.

A writer In 4N. JameS Gazette gives the following description of his marvellous sensation while under the influence ef Indian hemp. X friend of ours told us of his experience with the potent drug in Washington dur ing the war, when he took a quantity in an experimental way, In his case the Authorizations as to time and dis tance were very similar to those given below. It is not an experience to be desired
 The room seems to turn round the people near appear to rise to the cell ing; the pulse beats with extreme rapidity, and tho throbbing of the heart becomes audible, The will TO- mains unaffected: but thinking be- comes impossible, for ono cannot TO- collect anything--the ideas seem to slip away. In another ten minutes tho characteristic indications of hemp eating appear. Every object around attains a monstrous sixe. Men and women seem of Brob,iignagian pro- portions, tho cushions upon which one sits seem fl for giants, and any triiling obstacle in the way when you attempt to walk, appears 80 big that you fear to step over It. The room in which you may bc sitting seems to stretch beyond the range Of sight, and one fancies the street outside k roceding before ones very eye. All sense of time Is lost now, and when he is spoken to the hemp eater tancics there are long and apparently senseless in- tervais between the words. His own attempts at speech are similarly laboriously, and minutes seem to elapso between the beginning and end ot word. In this stage it k usual to partake of moro coffee, which changes the nature ot the sensations. A whitr at tue nsrghile that always accompa- nies tho beverage, and the body seems to rise into tho air and float about, though, inexplicably enough, the feet keep firmly pressed to the ground, Then ones legs and arms appear to drop off, and lie and sensation con centrate themselves, to ones thinking, In the back of the head, which feels full 10 bursting. Gradually strength leaves the smoker; tho pipo slips from the nerveless fingers the will alto gether fails, and the body seems to rise and float away In space. X heavy, dreamless sleep usually succeeds such an indulgence In the drug, and as rule tho novice awakcs none tho worse for the evenings experiment, A It. tlc lemon juice removes any sensation Of nausea or light iica,iacir tilni may ensue.

 "You say that crab had walked back wards the entire distance from Calves ton to Houston?"
 "Walk2 No, of course not. Bar tholomew was no such fool as that. He came up on the night train and as & crab has to go backwards, he had actually purchased round-trip ticket" concluded Beasly.
 That story settled my relations with Beasly. 1 refused to mess with him any longer, and a few days afterwards, while we were in the trenches around Indianola, Beasly was killed by Fed eral shell, as big as a flour barrel, while he was telling that same crab story to the captain of the company. One of Beasly's shoes was found mile and a quarter from where he was killed, and the captain, who was sit- ting right alongside of him, was not touched.
 I had always been truthful, but after the death of Beasly I was partic- ularly so and in order to have as little temptation as possible to deviate from the truth, I became a journalist Ter1S ISifItn0S.

 AN ALLEGORY.
BY WILL L. vIsscHKR.

gn 6 huge oak tree in forest grand, In the heart of balmy southern land,
 A pair of mated lovers dwelt; And they cooed and called and they eften sang Till the corridors of the old woods rang;
 Their blithesome spirits seemed to melt
 With all the happiness they felt. They sang and chirped in their innocent glee, Of the peaceful home in the huge oak tree,
 And the tiny ones in the nest, Till glistening snake crawled up one day To where the tender nestlings lay,
 A vandal, uninvited guest,
 With terror in his creeping quest. Of naughty. wise and consequential mien, High up the tree gray owl sat serene;
 Sat safe upon sturdy limb And saw the anguish of the parent pair, With cold and careless, pity barren stare; So self possessed, and stern, and grim,
 Their misery was naught to him. A busy, brown clad, hardy little bee, Among the overs, underneath the tree,
 Beheld the thrilling scene by chance, And rising on his honey laden wing, Drove whizzing at the horrid, hissing thing,
 Till writhing from the brown bees lance, Death checked the monsters dread advance. Iris often thus, in even human life, That lowly ones, In hard, unequal strife,
 Are left to sorrows armed to kill, While pond'rous wisdom chooses not to see; Or coldly saying, This is naught to me"
 Denies a neighbor's woes, until
 An humber brother stays the ill.

Costly Attentions To a Tramp.
Eastern Argus.

One night last September a half blinded tramp named Barney Morgan, was picked up on one of the streets of Bangor by the police and taken to the station. The next day he was ar ranged in the municipal court on the charge of being a tramp, and was bound over to the February term. The grand Jury did not indict Nor gan, and he was discharged.
 It was thought that this community was rid of Barney when he gathered himself one morning and quietly lett town. Nothing was heard of him till to-day, when a Chicago officer, Jo- seph T. Fem, arrived in town with Barney, much to the surprise of the officers here.
 It seems Barney made his way west after he left town, and one cold night was picked up in the streets of Chi cago and taken to the detention-house for shelter. How he reached Chicago is wonder, for he had no money, and is so blind that he can barely distin- guish daylight from darkness.
 He was kept in the hospital for a few days until the court official ascer- tained where he came from, and then, as customary in that part of the country, he issued a warrant for his return to Bangor, with an enormous bill of expense attached to him.
 He told the Chicago officers he came here from Bangor, and some of his 1nr lnfh tns hnr hn foo Nf gor dry goods dealer.
 Mir. Fenn says it is the custom in Chicago to return all wanderers to the place they came from, and if the ex- penses are not paid or the unfortun- ates cared for to leave them inside of the town limit. He carries an order of Cook county Qllinois) court to re- turn Barney to Bangor. When Barney was arrested here he said that he hailed from St. Johns, but nobody knows where he came from or any, thing about him. He is not a native of this city. The overseers of the poor of this city had case after case oi tramp poor this winter, and this seems like the last show for them They are puzzled what to do about the matter. The man is at the jail, where he is being cared for while the case is being decided. It is most singular one, and legal luminaries are now working on it.
 Tramps have often been given tick cts to return to their homes by officials here, but they have never had one of these poor fellows returned from so great a distance as the west, accompanied by an officer.

Finger Speech.

Oriental traders on tine cast coast of Africa have been compelled, In order to avoid the interference of lockers on, to adopt sign language. Walk ing through market place in this re- zion of the world, the traveller will often witness strange sight. Two grave, long bearded Arabs will step aside, each will put his hand up the others capacious sleeve, and the pair will then begin apparently to pinch each others fingers for few minutes
 Often the performance will bc va- ried. One will unroll his long turban cloth, or perhaps lift up his long mantle and then cover his hand, and concealed beneath this the pinching of the fingers will proceed as before.
 The initiated know that this is method of bargaining by means of code of finger speech understood by eastern traders from Arabia and northern Africa to the borders of Persia. It has been adopted in the first instance for simple reason. In the east, especially along the coast of the Red sea, Zanzibar and southern Arabia, all business Is transacted in the open air.
 In all such transactions the by islanders, idlers, riffraf and meddle- some busy bodies generally contrive to have 8 good deal to say, rendering their advice to both buyer and seller. The unwritten etiquette of the east requires that such friendly counsel be not resented.
 But as the merchants and dealers find 1t an unlimited nuisance and great hindrance to business, they have adopted certain code of finger signs, which they exchange when bargaining, with their hands concealed under their sleeves or turban cloth.
 Each finger and each joint of finger represents a certain figure. So the pair can bargain by the hour--as they often do-to their hearts, con- tent, and none of the noisy and gap ping busybodies around them be any the wiser for 1t.

A Bit of Grape.
New York Herald.

A piece of crape fluttered from the headpiece of the drawbridge over the Rencocas river at Hainesport, yester- day morning as the west bound train for Philadelphia approached, and the draw tender, George Hoyle, who for a score of years has lived in the little house beside the bridge with his wife, was absent from his post.
 That's strange signal to have on the draw" said the engineer. "Won- der what's the matter?"
 Just then the train came to halt at the edge of the bridge, and from his little house staggered George Hoyle, the draw tender, the tears coursing down his weather beaten cheeks, and his voice so choked with emotion that he could hardly speak.
 "What's the matter, George?" asked the engineer in & kindly voice, as he noticed the draw tenders agitation.
 The matter?" said Hoyle, with sob that shook his frame. "Well, Pm in hard luck. My wife dropped dead few minutes ago while stood joking with her at the door, waiting for the west bound train to signal for the bridge. l heard the train coming, but I couldn't leave her at such a time, so I just picked up bit of crape and got some one to hang it out 80 you would know there was something wrong"
 Just then the train started, and many were the expressions of sympa- thy among the passengers for the poor draw tender, who has been faithful eInpioye for many yeats.

American Civilization and Crime.
 Boston TrAyelier

"Get money honestly if you can, but get it anyway" is the practical lesson of the times. This tide has even reached that degree where suc- cessful robbery, on a magnificent scale, is condoned, courted; the only requirement of society being that 1t shall be great enough and successful enough to enable its conquerer to ap- pear in a halo of palatial splendor. The thief who steals small articles is locked up; the thief who steals mill lions is referred to as Ia great opera tor" The poor woman who steals articles from the dry goods store is sent to the police station; the rich one is respectfully referred to as "klep- tomaniac." Wealth and poverty wear the rue with difference. The woman who, be she never so vulgar, has a palace in New York, a villa at New port, a retinue of servants, and who costumes herself in diamonds to a degree that renders necessary the near attendance of detectives in plain clothes, will find every door of seci- ety and art opened to her; because in- deed, she can entertain in splendor while the woman who is a university graduate, who is exquisisely accom- plished and cultivated and refined and who is the wife of professional or literary man of modest means, living on an unfashionable side street, may remain in social obscurity all her life- time. She could bring to society en- during treasure; but society prefers the woman who can bring to it din- ners and balls. All this is the uner- ring indication of a crude phase in our national development. We shali overcome it; scholarship and states manship art and letters shall yet come to their own; but just now we prefer the dinners of Lucullus. America has little time to nourish the sense of beauty, says MT. Arnold, and this fact is 90 obvious it needs no rhetoric or illustration.
